this one is for mike davis..........

i have been in the industry for over 25 years and i thought i had seen it all......... everytime mike d. comes in for a tune up on his wig, i get the final, "did you get all that shit off the back of my neck?" well here you go mike, next time you come in i`m gonna have this guy do your back..... i was waiting for this guy to drop his pants and finish up his ass.....i was laughing so hard. this guy was a fuckin nut for even asking to shave his back but the stylist went and did it? it is not a haircut but definitely more than a neck trim...what did he charge him? i can`t wait to put this in my diary tonight, there is gonna be so many hearts and stars around this entry.......

from the mouth of a billionaire......wasn`t me.

wake up. if i hear one more idiot ask why we punish people for making money......... i work and make money and still very rich people pay less taxes then me and YOU........

Warren Buffett, the billionaire calling for more taxes on the rich, said Mitt Romney's U.S. tax rate of about 15 percent reflects poor laws rather than failings by the candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
"It's the wrong policy to have," Buffett told Bloomberg Television's Betty Liu in an interview today. "He's not going to pay more than the law requires, and I don't fault him for that in the least. But I do fault a law that allows him and me earning enormous sums to pay overall federal taxes at a rate that's about half what the average person in my office pays."
Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) , supports Democratic President Barack Obama and said Congress needs to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to close the budget deficit. Romney has agreed to release his 2010 tax return tomorrow, under pressure from Republican opponents, after saying he pays about 15 percent. Romney co- founded Boston-based private-equity firm Bain Capital LLC.
"He makes his money the same way I make my money," Buffett said. "He makes money by moving around big bucks, not by straining his back or going to work and cleaning toilets or whatever it may be. He makes it shoving around money."

recent news headlines................

while watching the news late last night, the new viral youtube video of four soldiers urinating on dead taliban fighters, has hit full on with reactions being reported on the news stations......click. time to go to sleep with the image in my head. this morning more coverage of the now made public afganistan urination, with the penis`s blurred out. were they trying to protect their pride? american citizens were being asked their thoughts about the video. most seemed quite shocked and apalled. not one person said, "that`s war". in all wars there are acts of atrocity or what people that are not fighting in a war call atrocities. marines, navy seals, green beret, these guys are killing machines, trained to do all the things the rest of us are afraid to do. these soldiers saw these dead men as the enemy that they are fighting to protect us. proably 75% of soldiers believe in god and somehow they have to justify killing (thou shall not kill) for the sake of their country. their world must feel so out of control................i`ve peed on drunk friends before, horrible? maybe. funny? fuck yeah. i`ve gone off track and i`m not trying to making light of a sad situation. we send these young men to fight for what most of us would never do, put them in harms way, constantly not knowing if the next shot you hear might be the one blowing your brains out........men react and can sometimes do horrendous things when fighting for what they believe in. read your history books. imagine what these soldiers have already seen happen to others they fight side by side with. do i condone this, no. can i understand being out of control, yes. should t.v. news be showing this. absolutely. this brings reality to this quagmire and shakes our humane side that has been in hybernation for the last 10 years. these men are fighting a war that should never have gone on this long, let alone traversed into iraq. somehow these guys gotta come back home and fit into the country that kinda forgot they were gone...........bottom line: war sucks.

i`m not a grown up. i am incredibly immature. but i do know how to use the toilet.......

cycle zombies m/c b.b.q. 2007?
