Only in Detroit could you possibly turn on the radio for a Friday morning “Eggs ‘n Grits” ghetto booty DJ set for the morning commute drive. Oddly enough, it started my day off very good.
Hit it from the back y’all.

President George W. Bush:
“See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”
(Applause)
Joseph Goebbles, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

I’m in Detroit now and working a new job. For some reason or another over the past 2 weeks I lost track of my blog. Oops. I’ll update tomorrow.
I’ve helped to pioneer a new trend at work. Thursday is the new casual Friday, and Friday is the new & improved more casual Friday. Just an observation…
How quickly time slips by. I had intended to post this past weekend about how fucking amazing my Friday night ended up being even after the uber-depressing car-hit-dog-incident, so I might as well do that now. Went down to Oslo in Detroit this weekend to see Miss Kitten spin. Oslo just so happens to be the ONLY cool hipster jaded oldskewler electronic music venue in the city, which is suprising considering the roots of techno are so strongly tied to Detroit.
Anyway, between watching her play & listening to her music selection I was reminded as to why I have always been attacted to electronic music. Electronic music in general is very interesting to me in how it manages to invoke or create emotion from such a non-emotional digital medium. Almost every track she played made me want to move and/or cry from elation. Not only did she play good stuff, but she rocked out doing it. It was great to watch someone else enjoying electronic music as much as I do.
I watched a dog get hit by a car last night. It was one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen. The asshole who hit it took off as soon as it happened, leaving the poor dog with broken back legs to where it couldnt even drag itself off the road. We stopped, threw the hazards on and left the car in front of it so no one would just hit it again. Who the fuck do you call when something like this happens? There’s no 911 for animals and no one stopped to help. I ended up calling 911 to get a cop out since the dog was seriously hurt and wasnt letting me get too close. Once the cop showed up we were able to take a mat from our car and coax the dog onto it to carry it to the side of the road. Animal control was called but they were in no hurry to get there. The dog had no tags but was a well groomed decently sized Terrier of some kind, so it must have been someone’s pet. With the condition the dog was in, I wouldn’t be suprised if it were just put down to stop it’s suffering since there were no tags to ID it.
Fucking sad, and what kind of asshole just takes off when you hit something like that. The guy had to know he nailed it head on.
James (phuzz) helped me out with his great photoshop design skills to create a new logo for my blog. I think it’s a great addition to the overall layout and feel of the page. Thanks!

This is the most rediculous thing I’ve read in a while. Apparently MTV came up with this great idea to showcase Hollywood celebrities making willions of dollars basically patronizing 3rd world countries by showcasing their “environmental awareness”
Must…control…Fist-Of-Death…
Who decided to make all cellphones geigh flip-phones now? I hate flip phones. All I want is a cool looking NON-flip phone with a camera & bluetooth. But nooooooOOOOooooo, everything has been ‘bling-ized’ beyond recognition into some honestly ugly-ass beast.
Put my 3 weeks notice in at my job today – supervisor was cool about it and honestly was kind of expecting it. He’ll be announcing it at our staff meeting tomorrow so it will be interesting to see the reaction that gets.
Spent the evening scanning some old photos I had from a few years ago and reminiscing.
My kitty has been sad I’ve been gone so much so I played with his feather toy for 20mins or so. He always looks so happy to get his picture taken (don’t let him fool you – he hates it!).
I was supposed to study this evening and haven’t done any. Dammit!
