It has been a busy well...very busy couple of weeks.  I honestly don't see it getting much better anytime soon, but incrementally I believe it will.  The bosses are in Europe (well most of them).  Most of the major stuff at work has been worked on or if not completely completed.  And, since Sunday I had my nephew here...and while Curio did not like it...I did.   It was overall a very nice weekend, though busy...and I sincerely hope that the next few weeks wont be so bad.

I even had a beak from the work outs since James was in Miami...but, even the breaks dont really feel like them because while I might not have to go to his office...I end up doing something else that needs my attention. 

And, Chris said we are going to talk about nailing down the plans for the trip to Israel so that some of the more finer details get arranged before the actual trip...ie our tours and such.

Ok I am tired again! LOL Good night!

There are some songs that I listen to when I get down or depressed at times....usually I tend to listen to soul music..it can be very powerful and moving.. When I was moving out to Arizona, and recovering from surgery at the time I tended to get depressed quite easily...and recently I heard some songs on the radio that reminded me of that time....So, hey time to put them on the blog! LOL

When I listen to these songs...I tend to get into a better frame of mind that no matter what mood I am in...it will pass.

War - Don't let no one get you down


William DeVaughn - Be Thankful for what you got


Living in Southern California with the low rider community and driving a 1959 Chevy...kinda made these songs sound even COOLER as your driving down the freeway or getting to work.

I just saw the worst fucking commercial on TV.  It was for JC Penny.  They fucking remade the Breakfast club...and it fucking sucked!  I just have one thing to say to those marketing (non-imaginative bastards)!  LEAVE MY CHILDHOOOD ALONE!

Yeah I know probably a stupid post...but for those of us who have not seen Israeli money before.....here is your chance.

What surprised me is that I did not expect to see Arabic script.  Otherwise the money is more artistic than our American money.

1 hmm... that money is very tiny

2 The bills are more artistic ,I like the idea of having different colors represent different denominations.the newer bills will be made of some kind of plastic.

Posted by: Shawn at July 27, 2008 07:45 PM (C5Dzc)

3 It is far prettier than American money!

Though now...I do have to state this..my secretaries when they saw the 20 notes..they were like who is this guy on it..he looks like Hitler!  Now, I was like yeah uh huh...sure...and laughed.  My bosses they were like he doesnt look like Hitler...so yesterday, I go to my sister's place..and show her the Israeli money and SHE SAYS the same thing!  Man...sad..so sad!

Even though it was before my time....I have seen the documentaries.  Yes, I remember even living through the LA Riots.  I remember being tempted to see them in progress (yes I was young and stupid) - and watching them on the news was not enough.  Well, it seems like we might have an opportunity to see more riots soon, in Denver of all places.  Why Denver - you ask?  Well, as I alluded to 1968, the riots will take place at the Democratic National Convention.  Now that the Democrats have chosen Captain Bullshit...I thought the chances would diminish...I did until this:

Click here to see it!

It was interesting, but not as good as the other behind the scenes clip (The Jonah play, I believe it was).  It had an artsy feel to it.  With the fake arm acting like it was a real arm touching people and unzipping a guys pants LOL..yeah..hehe Ok I remember seeing stuff like that when I took my Art History class...amusing sure.

Then we see the behind the scenes of Lital and others getting choked.  We have seen that too...umm..Behind the Scenes of the Hey Clip..we have even seen Lital getting head butted before too.  I did like the stop motion view of it - that was unique.  In the end there just wasn't enough of Lital...in the clips and no Dishka - and that sucked.

Enjoy the clip!

A Copycat this time. 

The Muqata has the scoop, pictures and video of the killing of the terrorist piece of shit.

You might as well not even look at the AP or CNN because their first drafts are Israeli bulldozer driver shot dead.  No hint in regards to the actual act of carrying out terrorism.  Can you freaking imagine what would happen and how it would be reported if something like this happened in New York City or Los Angeles?  All over the place it would be reported about the act of terrorism (if suspected).  This is just another example of the Israeli Double Standard in news reporting!

My heart and prayers are with the families affected by this act of terrorism and destruction.

Over at Ace's place.  FUNNY SHIT!!!!

Here are a couple to wet your toe:

He does not turn water into wine...he leaves the whining to Michelle.

Obama's excreta can heal. That is why he is trying to bury us in it. Because he cares.

His face is starting to appear on grilled cheese sandwiches.

Now if you have any to add, feel free over there at Ace's place.   If you need a laugh just read the comments!

Oh back in 1998, I belonged to this Roman group called Nova Roma.  I enjoyed it....perhaps too much...but I became very active and involved in its success and development.  And around 1999 I did something well...not right...I ended up finding out where the board of directors met online and basically lurked and read what was going on, before I became a member of the Board of Directors.  I confessed, was never caught, I just told that I was able to access the information, and it caused a huge stink, because well...I am overbearing, confrontational and I tended to be the type of person (in the organization) that either you liked me or you hated me.).  So, I was reprimanded.  I accepted it...and from that point on worked as hard as I could to overcome that.  I think I did a pretty good job, but was still confrontational to the extreme..but I and a few others became known as the Boni (arch conservative/traditionalists) in the organization and with that came ALOT of conflict...too much so and my enjoyment diminished as the conflicts rose and just took over.  By the time I moved to Arizona I had all but walked away from NR.  This despite reaching the pinnacle of traditional historic Roman Republican authority (holding the Quaestorship, Praetorship, Consulship and Censorship).  I know it probably seems corny now, but at the time..with the amount of work I put into the organization I was proud of my achievements. Anyway, today I just got news from a friend on facebook who is still active in the organization that my reprimand was officially rescinded.  Honestly, at this point I could care less if it was there or not.  Removing it fro official status does not take away the fact that it occurred.  Only that it is not "officially" on the books.  And, despite it being on the books it did not stop me from being elected to every office I ran.  Just whenever there was the remotest controversay surrounding me, it was always brought up as see...Sulla (that was my nickname) is untrustworthy and suspect.  It's a nice gesture what they did, but not necessary, I guess is what I am trying to say.
