The pigs are on the run people and that for us free loving Americans it means the cracks are getting bigger.
A new study from a foo foo school has shown that the Daily Show with Jon Stewart is bad for Amaerica. The study says that the Daily Show holds teenagers and 20 something adults as their fan base thus making this crop of young Americans distrustful of the government...uh huh...well I have seen and love the Daily Show, if there is any government distrust is well...the government's fault. It's not the Daily Show's fault that with the current admistration has done and is doing so many things to question. Congress and the Democrats have failed to act on so many things that face our nation today.
So, I say to you long live the Daily Show. You guys are doing something right.
Note: The study also says the show will keep young Americans from voting.
WRONG...the 2000 and 2004 elections are enough to keep even me from voting.
Look at how we really vote and you will ask yourself...why do we even vote. For if the people of this nation really had a voice in the government...we would be a better country. |

Just a quick hello to Joe and Lisa, I hope you are recovering from the break-in to your inner sanctum…I hope those who did it will die a horrible death for such a vulgar intrusion.
As for me, things have been going good not great but hey I can’t complain. The shop is doing good and even though we have our very slow days I am very confident that this time next year I will be doing better. Nothing like a business built on time…literary.
I am still pursuing my film and writing loves. Nothing short of death will stop me from that. My life has slowed down a bit but nothing that would get me worried, I’m happy and well I guess that is enough (for now)
HAHAHA

Hey Joe and Lisa,
my only two friends on here haha...since Joe is the only one of this unholy 3 that really keeps his live journal up to date. I will be talking to him and if Lisa out there somewhere in deep cyber space cares to log on her to her journal feel free to add a comment.
How the hell are you doing Joe?
It seems like forever since we last spoke. I'm at work right now and it's a bit slow (middle of the month always is slow)
watching "SWINGERS"
I have been going fine building a customer base everyday, so this time next year I will be doing alot better. Fill me in on all that is Joe.
I do miss you

Well, since I last logged in, many changes have happen. Let us get to it. I have moved from Austin to Brownsville and I own a state inspection station. It feels great to work for yourself. I am getting ready to buy a house and things in general have gone great for me. I do have those bad days. I hope to hear from all my friends...you have never been forgotton.

A Call to Ass
The KKK is coming to Austin this week to rally support for Proposition 2, an amendment defining marriage as only between a man and a woman. They are billing this as a Christian Family Values rally, but we all know the KKK's history of families, values, and Christian behavior is abysmal.
What the Klan wants is a photo op complete with angry, yelling citizens to scare conservative voters to the polls. What we are planning to do is get into the background of as many media shots as possible so their hate cannot be broadcast on the nightly news. As "turning the other cheek" is a recognized true Christian value, we believe this is a message those Klansters will understand.
It would be easy to give them what they want.
It would be easy to shake my fist and holler.
It will be harder to shake my ass in their general direction,
but it will be better than feeding into their media strategy.
You are invited to join in
the 2nd* Austin Mooning of the Klan
Saturday, November 5th
Austin City Hall (or nearby depending on where the police make us stand)
from 1-3PM
*The first mooning of the Klan was organized by Texas musician Steve Fromholz in 1993 and proved to be an effective means of making counter protesters smile and Klanspeople cringe.
Who: You, me, a few hundred of our closest friends, anyone you can double dog dare to get down there and drop trou. If this is your first time mooning, it can be easier to complete the deed if you have a good friend along for encouragement.
What: Mooning is a long standing Texas tradition of irreverant disobedience. Generally speaking mooning is a spontaneous event. Defined as exposing some part of one's ass in a gesture of friendly insult, Texas law allows for mooning as long as genitals are not exposed and there is no overtly sexual action involved. You may write a cheeky statement across yourself, but obscenities are a gray area, legally speaking.
Where: Counter protesters are going to be kept as far away from the Klan rally as possible. Given the geography of the site (South plaza of Austin City Hall) it will be difficult to avoid obstructing traffic and other arrestable offenses. Please try NOT to get arrested.
Why: Because one big ass deserves another (and they can't use footage of counterprotesters that includes naked butt). Mooning also defuses the potential for violence since it's nearly impossible to swing at someone when you are giggling. |

Well, I am still in school talk this horrid speech class but it’s the text or even the teacher, it’s the people in class and for those who know me best I hate everyone but in recent years I have learn to chill out. How will it all end and yes it’s question many have heard me ask and those on the inside would say “it will end in fire” HAHA
Oh well not much to say now but I am sure I will come up with something more meaningful to say. Damn Jack will be fully updated as soon as certain parties read the final draft…don’t want to die just yet HAHA I hope and wish you all the best, I am out

Lisa sat in silence and Trish kept on jabbering away about the weekend when Lisa finally spoke, “I’m not sure if I am going to have the party. It seems like so much work and you know how I like my weekends, quiet and lazy.” Trish’s eyes torn away from her sandwich, “What the heck are you talking about! This is your house warming party, Lisa!” Lisa nodded, “I know but fuck, I don’t want a bunch of people in my house. It’s really taxing you know.” As Lisa finished her sentence she looked at Trish who was not at all getting what Lisa was talking about. Trish was still trying to understand the part where Lisa was calling off the whole thing. Trish’s eyes wide at the thought of spending a weekend with her mother and the constant nagging about finding a good man and father for Trish’s little girl. “I am not letting you do this Lis! I, I mean, we have planned this party for too long and we are going to party!” As if on queue, the party girl had come into the break room, “I can’t wait! we are so going to party!” Lisa looked up and saw Pinchy, well that was the nickname she had come to get. Pinchy, known to her ‘other’ friends as Sabrina, the model turned office worker, the very well known flirt and party girl of the group sat down next to Lisa and looked over at Trish’s expression of horror. “What’s wrong guys?” Asked Pinchy. Trish’s mouth still full of food said “ Lisa wants to call off the party!” Pinchy looked over to Lisa, “why would you dream of it, besides the obvious reasons, they don’t count” Lisa looking at her hardly touched Healthy Choice microwave dinner, “You guys would not understand. I mean, fuck it forget it. The show will go on.” Pinchy and Trish happy at the sudden turn of events, “Wow I didn’t even have to smile that long or anything like that.” Pinchy said in a triumph tone. Trish got back to the matter at hand and that was to finish her lunch. Lisa looked around, “Has anyone seen or heard if Jen and Teresa are coming to lunch?” Pinchy was the first to respond “I think Jen is in a meeting and Teresa is in a phone conference.” Lisa looked over to Pinchy and smiled at her, Pinchy had a thought that did not revolve around Britney Spears and what she was wearing. “There is hope for you Pinchy” said Lisa. Pinchy looked at Lisa and gave her a ‘deer caught in the headlights’ look, maybe not too much hope after all. |

By
Abel Castelan
Lisa sits alone in the break room of the office where she works. It’s quite and it’s the way she likes it, but in a few minutes it will all change. The lunch crowd will begin to roll in and everything will get loud. Lisa sips on her coke-cola and takes a deep breath, then the doors open and the noise of the herd is almost maddening.
People gather around the many refrigerators and then some make it to a microwave before it’s taken, the slow ones have to wait in line as the task of making sure one’s food is really hot begins to grind on some nerves.
Lisa takes this insane scene as if she is watching a movie; everything is there except the popcorn, extra butter please.
Speaking of butter, Trish waddles in as only Trish can. Her food clumped braces shining through an excited smile. Lisa knows exactly what Trish is going to say before it even comes out of Trish’s mouth.
“Hey, are you ready for this weekend?” Trish asks excitingly. Lisa shrugs off the question and asks “what did you bring for lunch?” A mundane question of course but Trish likes her question as mundane as possible.
“Hold on! I need to get some food in me, I’m so hungry” Trish made her way through the crowd and Lisa sat there with a small smile on her face. Trish came back, sat down and goes off “I am so freaking excited about this weekend. I am sure lots of people will come and OH! I got this great new way to make jungle juice.” Trish stopped talking and looked at Lisa for some kind of response, none was given. Trish took a large bit out of her baloney sandwich and then before she could finish eating her food she did this thing that brought tears to Lisa’s eyes, Trish began to speak with her mouth full of un chewed food but in order for her not to be rude she would cover her mouth as she spoke and nothing audible came out of her mouth except maybe the occasional “hold, on, I am so freaking hungry” then a small piece of food would fly out but the rule amoung the group was no one would say a word about it. |

Well, folks, I came to a conclusion that I have no real friend on here except for Joe; who at times is the only that will read my rants on here so until my list of friends grow I shall write for him (to update him on my boring and mundane life) HAHA thought you would escape the evil clutches of the straight world HAHA no way Joe. What kind of friend would I be? Not a very good one in my personal judgment.
OK, Joe, ACL came and went with a lot of stress and life taking heat. The experience of it was great but the bill of bands was not. I didn’t like a lot of things that were going on in the park itself, a lot of unnecessary rudeness but I chalk this up to the heat and in that kind blistering blaze a person will do just about anything. I know I may be giving more credit than I should but hey what the hell, I will sleep better at night.
I had good time with a group of people that I usually have fun with so in that area I was good. Next year I hope the line up is better and the heat not so intense but then again I do live in Texas.
I am tired and getting a bit cranky that will only lead to a foul mood later in the day. This fucking job (easy) gets me really down!! There are 2 people I really hate here. It is so petty here so much to make you sick to your stomach. I wish I could go to school full time and live off my loans and financial aid HAHA but then again what I am thinking, it’s a dream! I will not dwell too much on this matter.
Well that’s it for now; I will rest for the rest of the week and then turn 32 on Oct 1 (damn it is really depressing)

Austin City Limits is coming and may end in mid flight. The hurricane is coming and not sure how much rain it will dump. I hope it all goes well if not I will be there reporting from the front line on floaty ha ha well that is all, I know I know not much at all but hey at least my fist aren't waving *wink*

| Smoking ban |

It’s been a few crazy weeks here in the city where people get away with wearing a cowboy hat and Armani suite. I am telling you folks it is the end times and we better stock up on those canned foods. I was at a bar the other night making sure I had my fair share of vodka and red bull, when I noticed a large group of people gathering outside the bar. I thought to myself holy shit some poor bastard must have walked into the street and got smashed in more than ways a good mixed drink could ever come close too. I finished my drink and walked out to see what was going on. I got there and nothing, no cops, no one freaking out and most important no blood. I looked up and down the sidewalk, which was packed with people, all smoking. I wanted to run away screaming…good god what has happen? Then I remembered, the smoking ban was in full affect. I was disgusted and then I too l sparked up a cigarette. I stood there and looked around, wondering when someone would say “what the fuck is going on here”? But no one said a word and even though I was not surprised. I was saddened to know that this is now a good clean country filled up to the brim with SHEEP.
How did we get here? What went wrong in the mind of the ordinary citizen? Not sure but the fear was setting in and I knew it would get worse. The ban to me makes no sense. I will right now agree with the ban in the restaurant area but a bar where all sorts of hi-jinx’s happens. Where the beer and liquor run and your liver takes an ass kicking but the lungs are left alone. A bar to me is a place where one can go and enjoy a good beer a cigarette. A bar is a place of vice and enjoyment. Now we have people crying how they can’t enjoy going to a bar, getting smashed and drive home (maybe even crash into some other drunk or even a mini van full of children) because of the cigarette smoke. Don’t mind the vast amounts alcohol that would be consumed that night, how much unprotected sex would be happening but as long as there is no smoking we will be better and hell why not, even healthier for it.
Here in Austin the smoking ban was spear headed by a local group, which were lead by the fiend on the bike and his fading music girl. To them and ever other hypocrite behind this smoking ban, I say, fuck you
That is all folks

Last night is a blur, like a movie you have just seen but missed some parts of it. Faces mixed with different names, makes things so damn confusing. I got together with friends some of which I would hardly call friends more like people I know of. I was in foul mood again and it was pretty to say the least. I did unwind after slamming a few beers and a shot called “red hair slut.” I was in a vice grip and I was not going to fight the bitch. I would let myself be slapped around and I knew at the end of the night I would be the one with the smile, never mind that now. We got the bar without going into some strange adventure…wait. My boss has just come into my little hole and asked about some god damn excel spread sheet. You know people around here seem to think we are some kind of mind readers, I can hear him over at the next office explaining the fuck up to his boss who let’s just say…you know what I won’t say. I am not going to bite the hand that feeds me, at least not yet. I am sure I will get some kind of talking down too. I really hate those. Anyway, we get to the bar already feeling a few of the Budweiser I had before getting to the bar. We get up to the door man, I feel I must explain this first one of the girls I went with is a good friend of mine who is good looking and gets hit on a lot. Back to the story, the doorman stands there looking at my friends ID and looks up at her, he does this several times and it began to wear thin on me. I wanted to shout out “cretin get laid on your own time” Damn it man I was just totally fed up. In fact I am fed up with the world in general thank god for football. I know it will not go away or I should do something about it and you know what I just might.
I took a seat and began to down a few more beers. There was a band that was going to play but we felt the need to smoke more important so we all stepped outside again here a no smoking in bars an almost ‘we will tax your liver not your lungs’ I can go off on so many rants right now but I won’t in fact I need to get back to work. |

It seems to be a crazy notion that we invade and take over a country rich in oil and with all the back deals and under the table stuff our government is famous for we as a nation are paying $3 a gallon soon to be $4.25 and in Georgia it's $6 crazy world we live in. With all the suffering and burned people are faces not only here but around the world there are a few select who are making billions off this suffering. If the world would suddenly stop and die I would not have a problem. Amanda, where did we go so far off the track? It began in 2000.
I truly believe that our government leaders should be held accountable and responsible for any and all policy making that would place a huge burden on its citizens. I will be honest and say I hate the Bush administration and everybody in it and everything tied to it. They sit there with their smirks and tell us everything is ok. It really bothers me that this president has been allowed to get away with so much. Bush and his cronies are no better than any known dictators. WHOA! You may say you are crossing the line here. WHAT line? That line has been grayed over and at times erased.
There is a report that came out of CNN and will follow up on this because it is important we keep facts to facts. CNN reported that the Bush administration coming into power in 2000 decided to cut funding to build better and stronger levees in and around the city of New Orleans. The idea was to protect this "below-sea-level" city from going through what it is going through right now. Bush CUT funding to New Orleans protection. This I believe was pre 9/11. Bush messes up and we forgive him. Why, do we do this to ourselves? People wake up no matter who is power be red or blue or even green, WE the people MUST hold our leaders accountable.
They would us accountable for not paying taxes or killing someone or even smoking weed. I am sick right now of this failed and greedy administration and the saddest part of all this is that even though gas is high and a city is in ruin no matter who holds power in the future of the nation. This administration will have set that the presidency of the United States is allowed a huge margin of error and greed. Let's hope that our boys and girls who are all over the world fighting and protecting us and whatever freedoms we still have don't die for a nation that protects the elite and their ivory towers.
The smirk that Chaney loves to show off is not so much that he and his boss are traitors to the nation and its citizens. It's a smirk of understanding that even though all this is happening and they are lining their pockets with money. The American public at large will be more interested in if Jennifer Aniston and Vince are dating. That is what he smirks about and what we should be held accountable for.

Labor Day
It’s coming up soon folks an extra day to think about our dronish ways and feel horrible thinking about how we have wasted our lives. Punching a clock or like most do today, swipe a card with all your important information imprinted into hard cold plastic, worn around the neck like a dog tag, making sure no one is unknown. A new and improved “HELLO My name is" What a wonderful world we live in. America the beautiful, with all the screams and 'YEAH' belted out by men with beer guts as big as watermelons. I sit here rant and rave about some obscene day. I love it. I truly do and what will I be doing on that day? Well getting weird of course. Jesus man I knew it would come crashing down some day but it is the price to pay for us working stiffs. Putting up with stupid people everyday can become a heavy weight for any one to carry. I am grateful for that one day and for the powers on high that give them to us. The scrapes from the ivory table, the sin of not having money or coming from an ivory school. 4 years stuck in a class room goddamn it's better than a year in Iraq. I won't get into that pie yet. That serving is for another day. The Jackals have looked away this is my chance to slick away before they rip something off my body that I will really miss. So enjoy the cookouts the beer and the mixed drinks and all the pot smoking you can handle I know I will but until the 5th of September I can only say get back to work drones! |

You know I was looking at my good friend's journal (JOJO...MOJO) I sometimes envy him for have the discipline to check and update his journal. I on the other hand will take days or even weeks to update my journal. WHY? I scream at myself!! But I have no real answer or even a good excuse that I could pretend to believe. This will not do. I feel so behind. I am almost lost at times with my thoughts, great and grand daydreams. My creative juices spill and dry on the bed covers of my mind. To JOJO Keep up the great work you are doing and hope to hear from you soon.
For now I sit at work dealing with rubes and backstabbers of the sort. I wish myself away but when the eyes open and the mundane come into focus, I am still here.
I have a list of stories I would like to expand on, a book of my great daydreams gone unfulfilled. |
