Everyone down at the pet store knows what I mean when I say I need a cage for a big dog

Everyone down at the pet store knows what I mean when I say I need a cage for a big dog Guilty ? Yeah , sure I'm guilty . But I know it . I mean , you're guilty , and you don't know it . So which one of us is really in jail ? It makes me sad that DVDs are going the way of powdered wigs because I love DVD extras . Commentaries ? Sign me up ! And I do enjoy deleted scenes even generally they're deleted for a reason . But I watched High Fidelity recently and it has a fantastic deleted scene . I know why they cut it because it does nothing to advance the plot or provide any kind of exposition but it's a great scene . And it don't hurt that 'Beverly D'Angelo is in it you know what I mean ?  Anyway the scene is a woman who's selling her husband's record collection while he's out of town and the genius of it is not that she just wants to sell it to break her cheating husband's heart , if's that she want to sell it on the cheap . Because that really stings . And the Champion Vinyl dude can't bring himself to do it because even though it would be great for him he CAN'T let these great records be sold so cheaply . It's good stuff . Speaking of revenge I found out recently that Billy Joel has had issues with depression much of his life and has tried to kill himself a couple times . Which makes me feel like maybe I shouldn't revenge myself upon him ? Part of me says he has enough problems , but part of me says who cares - is problems don't change the fact that he ruined my life . It's a tough call . If you don't know that I'm talking about go back and read all my previous blog posts and you'll fine out why I have sworn vengeance on Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley and how they made me the wicked shadow of a man I am today . Some of them are okay . I was introduced to the 10 commandments for con artist the other day ; Be a patient listener (it is this, not fast talking, that gets a con man his coups). Never look bored. Wait for the other person to reveal any political opinions, then agree with them. Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones. Hint at sex talk, but don't follow it up unless the other person shows a strong interest. Never discuss illness, unless some special concern is shown. Never pry into a person's personal circumstances (they'll tell you all eventually). Never boast - just let your importance be quietly obvious. Never be untidy. Never get drunk. and this is pretty much how I live my life now . Does that mean I'm a conman ? I guess in a way I am since I con people liking me right ? I'm just not making any money off it . And finally , people talk about how toxic the political atmosphere is "these days" but I got news for you folks , it's always been this way - in fact it was worse back in the days of the "founding fathers" that everyone seems to love so much . Take for instance the election of 1800 . John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were founders of the country and BFFS . Adams was like “The Constitution , you can kind of bend that how you need to bend it , it’s something you can work with .” And Jefferson was like “The Constitution is the constitution – you can’t fuck with that .” But they loved each other , until Adams became president and immediately they start butting heads . Adams was like “It’s illegal to talk any shit about the president of the United States , and if you don’t agree with the federal government then fuck you” . And Jefferson says “Well this is tyranny , that’s a violation of a little something called freedom of speech” . It reaches its head in the election of 1800 where these two lifelong friends are pitted against each other . Adams was like “If you elect Thomas Jefferson here’s what you’re gonna get . Murder . All the time . Everybody’s going to be murdering each other . . Your wives are going to lose their virtue , gonna be banging a lot of dudes , willy-nilly .” So Jefferson starts talking a lot of shit about Adams , we’re talking about guys that created this country acting like a bunch of 8th graders . “You know what ? Adams ships in prostitutes from France that he bangs all the time , just going to tell you that right now . “ Jefferson went to the newspapers and he says “I wanna tell you this , John Adams is a<b> hermaphrodite </font></b>, he has both male and female sex organs .” This is an official published statement from Thomas Jefferson . That’s when the shit got really dirty . So Adams says “Oh by the way if you’re thinking of voting for Jefferson you shouldn’t , because he’s dead .” Which is a great campaign platform – vote for me I’m alive . Even if you disagree with everything I say at the very least I’m alive . In response Jefferson calls upon a hatchetman , James Callendar , to publish stories about Adams . So they say that Adams is going to start a war with France , which is not true at all and people don’t want to go to war with France so Jefferson wins . But Adams before he leaves office says “You want to go with this loser fine” but appoints a bunch of people that are violently opposed to Jefferson’s ideas in various government positions “have fun working with these assholes !” Four years down the line Jefferson’s dies and Abigail Adams is like “Look , I know we’ve had our differences with Jefferson , but I should pop him off a letter .” So she writes – Dear Thomas Jefferson , I was so sad to hear about your dying and it sucks that she is dead . Jefferson writes back – Thank you so much for your considerate condolences on the death of my , but while I have your attention – fuck you , and fuck your husband . For being such assholes and ruining my presidency . And Abigail Adams goes “Look John we are done with Thomas Jefferson , I tried to make it work with this asshole , but fuck him .” So you tell me , have things really changed much ? Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first. |

That was indeed an excellent scene that should have stayed in High Fidelity. Things are much the same as 200 years ago, but gosh, immature disputes were worded so much more elegantly back then. As compared to a certain politician of today who tweets with his 4th grade vocabulary. VERY VERY GREAT! SO UNFAIR!

Politics is a nasty business. It seems to draw some nasty people into it. Vive La Difference
