LA Times: Crazy USC Fan Decides to Vandal UCLA Bruin Statue

Somebody crazy USC fan thought it was a good idea to spray paint the Bruin Statue with the colors of USC. Perhaps, somebody can spray paint the USC mascot some purple and gold.

Personally, I thought that was kind of funny except for a charge of felony vandalism is waiting for this jokster.

Quote of the Day

“Today’s society must “Imagine, Reinvent, Reinvest and Reinspire” itself. How will you use your gifts and talentsto focus on ‘giving’ rather than ‘getting’? What does reinventing yourself mean and how do you imagine reinventing yourself?”

John Hope Bryant, founder of Operation HOPE and author of LOVE LEADERSHIP: The New Way to Live in a Fear-BasedWorld

Ill With A Cold

Sickness! It seems that sickness is something that I have to deal with. A scratchy voice, a minor cough, and stuffy nose hearlds this bout with the cold. At least, it is not a leach like the first round of the cold back in October.

The one thing that I pray is that I do not get the H1N1. Actually, I need to see if there is any flu shot programs to get me vaccinated before Mother Winter comes up with her fiery blasts of coldness.

Teabaggers Thoughts on Al Gore

Thoughts On Sarah Palin

The Weekly Standard had a post stating that somebody wrote a book on Sarah Palin being persecuted by the mainstream media.   My opinion is that Sarah Palin has not been persecuted but rather fairly criticized on character defects within her personality and a worldview that does not properly address the massive problems of that America has today such as the consequences of American imperialism, climate change, and massive inequity in society.

If the Republicans use her as a cheerleader or spokesperson for conservative causes, I conclude that is proper role for her.  However, I do not respect her for being an expert on foreign and domestic policy and I think that she has very limited credentials in the areas of foreign and domestic policy.   When she opens her mouth on policy matters,  it just seems to be fodder for late-night TV shows and Olbermann’s “Worst Person in the World”.  But I am a progressive liberal and so my comments on Palin  would be probably considered to be biased.

Misery and Depression

Today was one of those days where I got into myself.  I started to dwell on my misery in life.

What misery? I have a full-time job, lots of friends, almost a year sober, and I am complaining about life?  There is any reason for miserable.

The real reason for this depression was that I lost my glasses this morning and missed a hike because I did have a Forest Service Adventure Pass.  Instead of forgeting about the pain, I decided to dwell on the event all day and sat on the Internet today doing random surfing with no purpose.  What a depressing day?

The reality is that I  lack motivation on how to use my spare time in creative purposes.  I also lack motivation on go outside on my own and explore South Orange County. 

For example, I could have gone to check the Microsoft store today at the Mission Viejo mall.   Just doing that act one and walking around the mall for about 30 minutes would be enough to snap my misery.

Instead my solution was to bitch and complain.  I guess there is some guilty pleasure in feeling miserable about yourself.

Perhaps, the point of this post is to remind myself not to get into the trap in the future just because something goes bad.  Everything life is great, but I guess we fall into fits of despair even though there is nothing wrong.  And that is bunch of stinky thinking

Taking A Piss

I guess it felt good after an 80 mile drive. Had to drive to the harbor to take a leak. Oh we’ll, sometimes you have to travel and wide to take a leak

Tonic Water And Other Musings on Saturday

Today, I decided to drink three liters of tonic waters.  That is a lot  of tonic water and I had to pee a lot today.  I guess that I need to drink something all day long to relieve inner tension. At least, it is not alcohol which is good thing

By the way, my friend Cable is turning 37 today.  I am going to San Diego tonight to see the party. It should be good to see my San Diego friends because this is the last chance to see my San Diego peeps.  San Diego is far drive from Mission Viejo but the people in the SD Burner community are worth it. You just do not get friends like that.  37 years old seems a long ways by now. 

And Joey, if you read this post, I am missing you.  I got to visit you sometime in the next few years.

Bill Clinton Debates George Bush

CBS News reports that Bill Clinton is debating George Bush. How about debating Noam Chomsky, Mike Malloy, Glenn Greenwald, or Dennis Kunsich? I doubt Bush would ever do that because they would hold Bush accountable for his campaign of warmongering and fearmongering.
