How long will Facebook last? I'm currently hooked on words with friends and that is about all I used FB for these days, and to say happy birthday to friends.

It is almost 2 years in the new home and the last of the major remodel projects are complete. You can walk into any room and it is clean and organized. 11 different colors of paints throughout the house. Good thing I kept all the covers with the codes!

Baseball season will be starting soon and we picked up tickets for several games including opening day, patriots day and labor day. I have no idea what this season will hold for the Sox, but I hope they'll be no repeat of last September. I still can't talk about the Patriots last game either!

At this point I just want the Bruins to make the playoffs and the get past the 1st round.

Funny that I've never told anyone that I have a LiveJournal account because it is not in my nature to have this type of online presence. I do have a FB account but keep it restricted to the 100 or so friends in my list.

Last Feb I booked my trip to Aruba and in June we had the best 10 days ever. The only downside was the Celtics losing that 7th game, but since we watched it at Salt & Pepper in Aruba the pain wasn't as bad as being in a bar in Boston or my living room.

The Summer has been eventful with the new house and all the work that we've been doing to add our own touch. The big project was removing enough wallpaper to fill a 55 gallon trashbag. Most of the work was done during the 95 degree days which made the process almost unbearable. It would have been easy to just turn on the central AC but I didn't want to get dust or other pollutants in the vents.

Overall I am very pleased the way the master bedroom has come out and all I have left is to patch the ceiling in the mater bathroom and I can focus on the kitchen.

Yes a boring post, but then again no one will ever read this.

Heading back to Aruba in June and we couldn't be more excited. Last year we stayed a week at ABC and the time seemed to go so fast that we were kicking ourselves for not extending our stay. Given the fact that the entire trip including airfare, lodging, entertainment, food and drinks came to $500 each, we could have easily added another week. Naturally that was our first trip and you learn from your mistakes.

This year it'll be a little more expensive since we can't use miles for the airfare and the timeshare isn't a gift but we got a great deal anyway. Divi for 10 days including airfare for $900 each.

I'm already up to date on all the Aruba message boards and have almost a full itinerary planned for our stay, which will probably be pushed aside the minute we land. After all it is all about the beach!

I have to write that in all honesty I don't give a flying fuck about Haiti or its people. The government of Haiti is one of the most corrupt on Earth and the people have nothing to offer. Those who were lucky enough to get to the United States, illegally or not, abuse the welfare system, push drugs or murder honest decent hard working American citizens. Come to America and live for free on out tax dollars is the rallying cry down there. I say too fucking bad that Nature came calling with its destruction. Pick yourselves up and rebuild. Stop crying for handouts! The world owes you people nothing! Go to your corrupt government and get back some of the billions in aid that have been stolen from you. Put down your weapons and work together to rescue the victims and stop looting! Lastly, stay the FUCK out of the United States with your filthy disease ravaged bodies!

Can Mary fry some fish, Mama
I'm as hungry as can be
Oh lord, how I wish, Mama
You could stop the baby cryin' 'cause my head is killing me

I saw my ex again last night, Mama
She was at the dance at Miller's store
She was with that Jackie White, Mama
I killed them both, and they're buried under Jacob's sycamore


You think I'm psycho, don't you, Mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think I'm psycho, don't you, Mama
You better let 'em lock me up


Oh, don't hand me Johnny's pup, Mama
As I might squeeze him too tight
I'm havin' crazy dreams again, Mama
So let me tell you 'bout last night

I woke up in Johnny's room, Mama
Standing right there by his bed
With my hands around his throat, Mama
Wishing both of us were dead


You think I'm psycho don't you, Mama
I just killed Johnny's pup
You think I'm psycho don't you, Mama
You'd better let 'em lock me up


Oh, you recall that little girl, Mama
I believe her name was Betty Clark
Oh, don't tell me that she's dead, Mama
'Cause I just saw her in the park


We were sitting on a bench, Mama
Thinking of a game to play
Seems I was holding a wrench, Mama
Then my mind just walked away


You think I'm psycho don't you, Mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think I'm psycho don't you, Mama
Mama why don't you get up?

Appearing soon in concert!!

Choose Something Like a Star

by Robert Frost - 1947

O Star (the fairest one in sight),
We grant your loftiness the right
To some obscurity of cloud --
It will not do to say of night,
Since dark is what brings out your light.
Some mystery becomes the proud.
But to be wholly taciturn
In your reserve is not allowed.

Say something to us we can learn
By heart and when alone repeat.
Say something! And it says "I burn."
But say with what degree of heat.
Talk Fahrenheit, talk Centigrade.
Use language we can comprehend.
Tell us what elements you blend.

It gives us strangely little aid,
But does tell something in the end.
And steadfast as Keats' Eremite,
Not even stooping from its sphere,
It asks a little of us here.
It asks of us a certain height,
So when at times the mob is swayed
To carry praise or blame too far,
We may choose something like a star
To stay our minds on and be staid.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren.

We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.

We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.

They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.

We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the supreme judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude Peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do.

And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

How much worse can SNL get?  It is so pathetically unfunny that it hurts to watch it. 

Bush, in one of his few public appearances since leaving office in January, told the students that leaving office lifted a heavy burden.

"I no longer feel that great sense of responsibility that I had when I was in the Oval Office. And frankly, it's a liberating feeling," he told seniors from Artesia High School.


This is proof postitive that Bush is a complete asshole. Here is the guy who in 2004 said the country couldn't possibly do without him in the "war" on terror.  WTF did he accomplish?  A path of disaster and utter despair for millions of Americans!  His fucking family has made billions during the 8 years this jackoff was in office.  I can only hope that he gets anal cancer!
