Obama is a jerk

Seriously I'm glad other people are starting to notice this. I'm going to go get the evidence.

Firstly he definitely thinks less of the people he's talking about in these statements.


"Typical" is the word I have a problem with here. To say anyone is a typical anything is a generalization and the exact opposite of the kind of person he tries to represent himself as.


This is the first thing that really got under my skin. So dismissive. I love it when people don't look at me when they talk to me. There is a better angle of this somewhere I'm sure where you can see that he actually had his back to her the whole time.



The verdict: He's a dickhead. Anyone who votes for him must enjoy being talked down to, dismissed, and pigeonholed.

I went to an AHA! night downtown

I never actually did that before since I don't feel too comfortable walking around at night. Anywho I went because on the radio they said something about a little parade that was going to be like environmentally themed. It was cute it had little kids and there were different saving frog organizations and whatnot. But then I didn't know what to do and I saw on the AHA! schedule thing that the New Bedford High School Show Choir was going to be at the Zeiterion.

Now I saw these kids, I dunno, a month ago one Sunday when I was looking for something to do. They had their show at the high school and I thought they were really awesome. More people should support the good kids doing stuff like this but it seems like only a few of us stragglers and everyone else seemed to be friends and family. So I figured since I hate my neighborhood I might as well stay out as late as possible and also this was a good reason to do so. So if I got attacked by ninjas on the way home at least I actually had a reason to be out. (I love the Broadway shows and musical theatre, maybe I never told you that.)

Anywho I just came home and googled the show choir, because I forgot the name of that group, and they have some videos up at Youtube. I'm going to embed the one that has a solo by the kid I think it's definitely going to be a star. btw, the jazz band is awesome too.

Loudness and the temperature

Since it actually got past 70 degrees today it was fairly obvious to me that some asshat from my neighborhood was going to piss me off with their loudness. You see these aren't people they are animals. They prove it everytime since their behavior is determined by the temperature and the influence of beer commercials. I taped my lawn for 5 minutes to see if I could pick up the annoyingness of the sound but I doubt it. I'll try to upload it later.

As I thought you can't pick up the annoyingness of the boom, but oddly enough I can hear what I didn't hear when I was out there. A baby being told to shut up because it doesn't like boom cars either. Hmm...

Hillary, SHUT THE HELL UP!

All these morons messing with the Olympics are pissing me off.

The Olympics are about transcending politics and the nations of the world coming together to compete in the drama of sport. So any of these morons who want to snuff out the flame or boycott the opening ceremonies are deciding to be my enemy.

So Hill, and stupid French protesters, why don't you all go suck a fuck. :D

Piccies are fun

I went for a walk this morning and took some pics and wanted to post them here. But I also have some from the past few days and I thought I'd get to those first.

Can you even tell what this is? I took this is few days back when it was raining hard but not ridiculously so. Anyhoo, this drain wouldn't let the water go down. It was just sitting there. WTF?


Here are my feet. I washed my sneakers a couple of weeks ago but apparently the machine didn't rinse out all the soap. This is what happened when I got soaked.


I'm really pissed that this pic didn't come out. Anyhoo, the car belongs to that dog that you really can't make out. I spied a grey/balding man letting his dog poop on the playground of Carney Academy. I went to that elementary school and everytime I see someone in there with their dog it pisses me off. Kids play there. It's bad enough if they get it on their shoes but what if they fall in it? That's so dirty. And here's the thing when the guy saw me he freaked grabbed the dog and drove away. What does that tell you? That tells you that with all the grass and backyards in New Bedford this guy drove to Carney Academy to purposely have his dog poop there. Nice right? I took down his license plate if anyone wants it.

Yesterday the DA, who may be the one person around here actually doing their job and doing it well, had a free day at the zoo for kids. So having no money I decided to go look at the animals, which I haven't seen since I was a kid. (There was a really good group playing when I went at the end but I don't know who they were.) Anyhoo, on the way out I saw this tree. I can't be even sort of happy for more than 3 minutes without seeing some other evilness.

Why do that? It's bad enough that people carve trees, but to spray paint it? There has to be a special level of hell for those people, but if not I'm sure Gaia will avenge this tree. :(

These two next photos are of this empty lot. There's supposed to be a house there but it burned down years ago and since then it's just been there. It's obviously not taken care of and if you were wondering the city owns it. You can walk on the sidewalk on the corner but you get lashed if you do.



I took a pic of this house. I guess nobody lives there, but why in God's name would anyone graffiti a house like this.

It has a person's name but I blurred it out. What is wrong with people?

Here is what used to be a firehouse. It's got a faded sign that says "Civil Defense". Appropriate.

This image suprised me. I don't think it was that long ago that I walked down this street but I don't remember seeing that. And I hadn't heard about that either. This is happening a lot. I'll go for a walk and see a burned house without having heard about a fire there. Something else to make you wonder. Maybe I'll sharpen that pic later.


Now here is Purchase Street at just before 11AM. Purchase meaning buy stuff. Notice all the people and shoppers. Oh you don't see them? Neither do I. Mostly because there is nothing to buy. There is a Family dollar and a Rite Aid a magazine shop and a smoothie shop that's open. Otherwise everything on this street is closed or not a store. Maybe that's why no one is downtown on the weekends.



Now amazingly enough I didn't go looking for this stuff. This is just the stuff I came across in my travels, by accident. So if anyone ever wonders why I'm always in a bad mood, look at all the visual imprints I get on a daily basis. These pics were all taken in the last 4 days.

documenting thoughts

Last night I was still up but still. At 12:15 I started to hear a basketball bouncing. I looked out the window and there were people playing basketball at that time. And I checked the weather channel and it was 36 degrees. WTF? So the noise was aggravating me but it wasn't problematic. Just the nonsense of it nagged at my mind and I continue to wonder about the people who live across the street from me who are right next to the noise. They have little kids who have to get up and go to school in the morning. I guess it doesn't bother them, but it makes me wonder. So the basketballers stopped bouncing maybe 20 minutes later. And then at 1:15 they started again. WTF is that? There is this whole society of nightdwellers who makes no sense to me. They live at night into the wee hours as if it were daylight, making all kinds of noise as if most people wouldn't enjoy quiet at that time, slamming car doors going back and forth somewhere. But where? Isn't everything closed by then? Is all this going on just because of 24 grocery stores? It doesn't make any kind of sense that there is that much to do in the middle of the night.


This picture is of my neighbors car. I took it a couple of days ago. I won't tell you why it annoys me but these are the same people who crossed the street to have their toilet bowl join the resident toilet bowl. I think people really need attention wherever they can get it.
