okay, so I'm so pissed off. I hate American television!!! So I'm watching The Golden Girls (shut up) and it's the episode where all the girls are in Sophia's bed 'cause the heat went out, and Rose is on the side of the bed praying and Dorothy pretends to be God and tells Rose to get back into bed. Blanche says to Dorothy, "nice work," and Dorothy says, "It wasn't me." So Blanche says to herself, "sweet Jesus am I in trouble." Only we didn't get to hear her say Jesus 'cause they muted it! They muted the word JESUS.
THE NETWORK FOR WOMEN (AND GAY MEN) AND THEY MUTED THE WORD JESUS...Bush must own the network now. From this point on I will never watch Lifetime again and I plan to let them know.
But it's okay to say piss, and slut and whore...but don't you dare utter the name of our Lord and Savior!
Have you seen the new Dollar bills yet? Bush's face is depicted and on the reverse it says, "IN POLITICS WE TRUST."

F@!# Lifetime!
Oh how I miss the 80's...I'm listening to We Are The World (God I hate Bruce "I'm constipated" Springsteen, but I digress) ... that was a really cool time in my life, save for a few things I wish would not have happened, but I guess it molded me into a part of the person I am today...
This just really takes me back to when I lived in Chicago. I was 12, soon to be 13, and this was the 1st time I heard We Are The World.
It was when all girls (and some guys) just wanted to have fun.
We all did the Truffle Shuffle with Chunk and the rest of the Goonies.
Prince was IT, man and I knew every song and every move he made...It was me and Denise and Wendy and we performed for our parents and the neighbor kids...my God, what dorks we were!
My step mother has pictures of me dressed up as Boy George. :::shudders:::
Michael Jackson ruled the world and Cyndi Lauper actually gave a shit about her fans. I still enjoy her music but I will never go to a concert again - unless it's free!
Stand By Me was the movie of the year ( In my book anyway.)
My step brothers and I always went out to a wooded area and built a raft out of sticks and fallen tree limbs and sailed across the pond, in a land we dubbed "Fantasia," from The Neverending Story. I remember and will never forget the hundreds of water spiders that came up out of the water and onto the raft - that was the day we discovered it really is possible to walk on water, only we ran our asses off!
We constantly referred to each other as Skeksis and Gelflings and ran around outside looking for the crystal shard... I applaud anyone who reads this and can tell me what movie this is from (without having to look it up.)
This was also the 1st time I had actually witnessed the first snow fall. My brothers and I were looking out the window and it started to snow. I thought somebody was on the roof tossing styrofoam or something down. That would turn out to be a very cold and miserable winter for me.
I went back there 13 years ago while on vacation to D.C., decided to stop by and visit my brothers (who still lived in IL at the time), take a look around at our old stomping grounds...how sad that none of it was there anymore. It's all apartments and shopping centers now. Fantasia lives only in our memories. We must never forget.
What's your fondest childhood memory?

Stupid driver on board.
Okay so I'm on my way to pick Katie up from work and of course, my luck being what it is, I get stuck behind a little blue car with three people in it and a sign on the back window that reads, "LEARNING FIVE SPEED, PLEASE BE PATIENT."
EXCUSE THE FUCK OUTTA ME???
If you are driving down a busy street at five o'clock in the afternoon, you're ass ALREADY NEEDS TO KNOW how to drive a five speed! Why don't you take your car on the freeway during rush hour traffic while you're at it! Go to a deserted parking lot and drive til your foot falls off and your knuckles cramp up, but stay the fuck out of MY way until AFTER you learn how to drive, STUPID BITCH!
I'm evil and God forgive me for my actions, but I honked that bitch right off the road! She turned into a Carl's Jr. parking lot. LMAO.

I'm so upset. I want to post my poems on here, but I cannot find the box which contained all my poems plus a poem book that I had printed up back in '93. That box contains my life, man! And I don't remember any of them on my own, damnit. *sigh*
Well, here's two for now...I may have posted them on an old blog...but here they are again... (And don't steal them, either!) :-)
ALONE
Can anyone hear me screaming?
Does anyone notice the tears?
Feel the wind rush by as I'm running,
running from all my fears?
Does anyone see me falling?
Does anyone notice I'm gone?
How can you see me behind this mask
where I've been hiding for so long?
I look around and I'm lost,
All this chaos is driving me mad,
There's nobody here that I recognize,
Gone is everything I once had.
Blindfolded looking for truth,
Walking backwards into the night,
Smashing mirrors of my true self,
Afraid to look into the light.
Alone with no one to talk to,
In the cold with no way to keep warm,
I feel my soul slowly fading away,
Is there anything worth fighting for anymore?
Tell me you see me, tell me you care
Touch me and heal me, I don't want to be there.
Tell me you love me, tell me you see
Don't leave me alone, I want to continue to be.
Please don't leave me-
Alone

YOUR LIFE
So she asked if I’m happy with my life,
and I know where I am and I like it...
it’s not too often you get a clear view of your mind
when the world is aligned and your eyes see her beauty...
Now follow me down
to the well of disbelieving
and look inside your own life, it’s deceiving...
bring up the pale but leave the web you’ve been weaving
‘cause it’s your life now and like a book you keep reading...
to discover yourself you’re hell bent on never leaving
but you know it’s not real, it’s not water,
you’re bleeding...
And so I tell her I know where I’m going to be,
and I know who I am and I’ll get there...
and I won’t come undone when my fears overtake me
she sees the world in my eyes and to them she is my beauty...
Now follow me down
to the well of disbelieving,
and look inside your own life, you’re only dreaming...
of a world you’ve made caught in the web you’ve been weaving
but it’s your life now, you’re the book they’ve been reading
to discover the lie about the truth you’re deceiving,
and you know it’s not real, it’s not right
you're still bleeding...
you’re only dreaming of the truth,
but it’s a lie,
you're still bleeding

HEY MIKEY, HE LIKES IT!
13 July 2005
Yeah, RIGHT!
So yeah, that shit lasted a day...or not even a day...I picked up my wife from work and we were out at dinner time so we ate at McDonald's...however, I ONLY eat the fish sandwiches when I go there and we share the fries.
Anyway, Atkins Schmatkins...I'm only cutting bread out of my diet but I'm not gonna make myself sick by not eating carbs...mind you, I'm not gonna eat like I'm accustomed to...I'll eat 3 reasonable meals a day instead of snacking day and night.
Wow, tuna casserole sure sounds good right now.
12 July 2005
On my way to being a loser...
So today I started the Atkins diet. I am totally cutting bread and pasta out of my diet and walking on the treadmill for 60 minutes each day. That is totally doable and people have been losing a lot of weight by doing this ( I've witnessed with my own eyes friends who have dropped 40 lbs in less than 6 months.) If I lose at least 40 lbs by the end of the year...that'll put me right about where I need to be.
Wow, tuna casserole sure sounds good right now...
But this Atkins thing is not bad at all...I eat fish, steak, hamburgers, veggies, and now that we have a grill food tastes even better! And you don't have to totally quit eating carbs...you're allowed 21 grams/day. (you'd be surprised just how many grams of carbs are in the foods you eat - check out the nutritional value.) There's this particular type of bread we like to eat...each piece has 23 grams of carbs. Well NO MORE!
And to show you and myself how serious about this I am...I will post my weight each day and what I have eaten...
Day 1:
Weight: 205
Breakfast:
2 large eggs, scrambled, with shredded cheese.
Lunch:
4 slices mozzarella cheese
3 animal crackers
1/2 cup cottage cheese
Dinner:
Hamburger patty (93% fat free, grilled)with 1 slice pepper-jack cheese
1/2 cup mixed veggies
1 cup bean & ham soup
Total carbs: 21 grams

Why I don't blog...
Recently I was asked why I don't blog that often. Well, because I'm just a boring person, that's why. I really have nothing to say on a daily basis.
Let's see...today we met some friends at McDonald's. We came home and I barbequed steak and chicken. And let me just say that since we have acquired this grill, it has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities in the food world. Great, just what my fat ass needs. Umm, we just got out of the shower and now I'm blogging...after this I think we're gonna go play a game or something, then we'll go to bed.
Wow, bet you can't wait to tune in to read tomorrow's blog.
G'night.

Yaaay, we get to see Amy Grant for the 3rd time in 2 years! Next month we are taking my mom to see Amy in concert for my mom's 50th. She has been listening to Amy's music since I was about 10 years old...that's 23 years! *Damn, I feel old*
Well I asked my mom if she would like that for her birthday and she exclaimed "YES, I WOULD LOVE THAT!" ;-) So we're taking her to see Amy and getting her some jewelry...let's see my siblings (which i originally typed 'siglings' - which is pretty much how I feel about them anyway, but I digress...) beat that!
I'm such a good son.

'Driving while gay...'
Really, Tony...you couldn't come up with a better name than DANILO? And what the hell were you doing in Italy??
Strange but True
>> Home >> Strange but True
Man’s licence revoked... for driving while gay
08.06.05
CATANIA - A Sicilian court has condemned road authorities for suspending the driving licence of a man after finding out he was gay. The court said being gay was merely "a personality disturbance" and not a psychiatric illness, and had no bearing on a person’s ability to drive.
The 23-year-old man, who was identified only as Danilo G, got into trouble with road authorities in the city of Catania after they discovered he had been exempted from military service because he was gay.
The authorities suspended his driving licence ahead of further evaluation of his "suitability" to take the wheel.
The man’s lawyer, Giuseppe Lipera, denounced the move as "utterly scandalous and offensive" and has demanded 500,000 ($890,472) in damages. "Danilo is deeply perturbed by what has happened. He has lost his hair and is suffering shock," Lipera was quoted as saying.
In a written ruling released yesterday, the Sicilian court said: "It is clear that sexual preferences do not in any way influence a person’s ability to drive motor cars safely." The judges added that homosexuality "cannot be considered a true and proper psychiatric illness, being a mere personality disturbance".
Homosexuality is legal in Italy, but openly anti-gay comments in public from politicians and officials rarely cause a stir.
