I loooooove Vanity Fair...the articles are just so terrific...except Dominick Dunne just writes about boring rich fucks...no tanks....there is an excellent article on Laura 'The Ice Queen' Bush...hoooboy....she is so tight you could shove a straight pin up her ass and it would knock both hips out of joint...and the editors letters have a great one on how the pentagon figured out a way to save money...by quietly ending the 155 year old tradition of having marines guard the gates of the U. S. Naval Academy as well as the crypt of John Paul Jones, one of the Navy's founders and a great hero in the Revolutionary War. The freeded up troops will be sent to Iraq and Afghanistand.......surprise.....another brilliant way to keep money in the pentagon? they are making the soldiers pay for battle gear that was either distroyed or damaged during the war.I swear I am not making this shit up....made one guy pay $570 for a kevlar vest that was damaged by road side bomb.. when his home town found out about it ..the radio station raised money and paid him for it...judas priest..And don't want anyone to think that I am against anyone stepping up and admitting to being sexually abused.

I think I have mentioned before that when it rains in West, one of two things happens:1).the electricity goes out,or 2) the phones get fucked up....(or both)Well, the electric stayed on but some time during Sat. night I lost the phone..it is Tuesday and about noon time they got my phone fixed....thank the goddess....So I had no phone, no computer, no blogging, no buds, nada, nuffin, zero, zilch, zippadeedoodoo...it was a sad and weepy weekend in West..Can't tell you how many times I would jump up to go post something and nope...no telephone..no computer...So to say I was pissed Sunday, Monday and half of today...is an understatement...had all that venom built up against Jerry Jones and Terrell Owens....fuckers...for the ones that don't understand the gravity about this jackass suiting up in a Dallas cowboy uniform well, I will give a little recap..when Terrell Ownens played for the fucking 49er's(another hated team by Cowboy fans..not as much as the Eagles, but hated ..)they were doing something they hadn't done in a long time..they were kicking our asses and kicking it good...after T.O. made a touchdown he went toward the sidelines and then instead ran out into the middle of the field where the Dallas Star is and stood on it and raised his arms up into the air...like he was some demi-god...fucker.....ok, that was bad enough...but it happened again...and while he was going through his little act, one of the Cowboys ran up and knocked him ass over tea kettle...(wish I could remember who that player is...just can't remember)...but what really fucking tied a knot in my tail was when they were interviewing him after the game...he said he didn't know why the player hit him and knocked him down...said it must have been because he blocked him on the goal line earlier on in the game...when you are so out of touch with the real world that you just don't get why that would have pissed off the players and fans...well, you deserve to get treated like shit by other players and by the ones on your own team...he just doesn't get it at all...he is an inflated ego with an assshole..or an asshole with an inflated ego...not sure which...basically......he has a personality like a sack full of hemorrhoids....and I don't want that dipship asswipe on my teams...I don't care if we go all season with no losses..I would rather lose without him then to win with him......And to top it off ....he played for the Philadelphia fucking Eagles....the team that ole Jackiesue hates more than any team in the league..the team with the most gawdawful fans ever...so that doesn't help either...I tell my grandaughters that hating someone is like taking poison and hopping that person will die from it...so I don't HATE him....but like I tell the girls.....I dislike him intensely....fuckme till I holler....
the sound of wailing..crying, weeping, gnashing of teeth, sobbing, and with snot running down her face JACKIESUE cries out to the Goddess....:'why, oh Goddess why? why would you do this to me....? what have i ever done to deserve such misery? nooooooooo, please tell me it isn't true.......telll me those stupid fuckers didn't just sign Terrell Owens....'..............................they really really did? oh fuckity fuck fuck fuck...tripple fuck...oh Goddess, kill me now.....smite me..bip me into a coma...or at least until his contract runs out.....fuck! I don't know if I should shit or go blind....I am retreating to the underworld...were I will fester and rot...plotting revenge on J.J.fuckme till ...........well fuck...just fuckme...
Another weird and wonderful day in West, by Gawd, Texas....Remember a few weeks back when the town of West thought they were going to have to cancel the bbq cook off because it was so dry and danger of wild fires?..The bbq is this weekend..started last night and it goes through tonight...It started raining last night and rained all night long and this morning and stopped about 9am or so...and supposed to rain again later on and this evening...Wind was a blowing, thundering, lightning and just your typical Texas thunderstorm with lots of the wet stuff....I love irony.....I had to go out this morning to the library as it closes at noon and doesn't open till Monday at 3pm..so wanted to get some reading material...The library is at the south end of town, I live at north end of town...the rodeo grounds where the bbq cookoff is is right behind and to the west of the library....it wasen't raining so turned the heater on and rolled down the window...the closer I got to the library the more I could smell the bbq smokers...there were between 70-85 smokers out there cranking out beef briskets, beef and pork ribs, chops and steaks...oh my goddess...the aroma was unfuckingbelieveable....front of my elvis presley tshirt was soaked from drool by the time I got to the library...and their not selling any of the bbq this year...don't know why, but boy am I pissed..I could have done with a bbq sandwich ....or a slab of ribs...enough to piss off the pope...On to the rest of the news in West.....Now...am I the only one that never heard of Czech bagpipe players? At the McLennan(our county)-Hill Chapter of the Czech Heritage Society of Texas they are hosting a program describing the Czech bagpipes of the Czech Republic at 7pm on March 28th at the West Community Center.The program will consist of a musical and cultural history of the Czech bagpipes, with rare photos from the Czech Republic.
Call of Dudy, the first and only full-length documentary film on the Czech bagpipe tradition, now on DVD, will be screened.(add your own doody jokes here)Fresh off the success of a Mid-west tour,(hooboy) Czech-American bagpiper Michael Cwach and Texas-native, Prague-based filmmaker Jefe Brown(is that a czech name??) are currently on a tour of the state as they are to visit approximately 15 Texas towns in presenting the new documentary fim Call of Dudy('duty' means bagpipes in Czech).Bagpipes are generally associaed with the Celtic Fringe of Europe, but one of the richest and most ethnically diverse bagpipe traditions can be found in Central Europe,especially in the Czech Lands and neighboring Bavaria....well, who woulda thunkit...Damn, the West High Schol Trojan Band missed becoming a "Sweepstakes Band." It had something to do with getting an l instead of ll.....or something...We celebrated 2 marriages,
3 birthdays and three births...1 engagement and 2 deaths...Tommy Muska's family is having a Memorial Baseball and Softball Tournament for April 1st and 2nd in memory of their son Nick Muska who died a year ago in a car wreck..I think you remember me posting about it...I see Tommy Muska all the time in town and I swear each time I see him he looks like he has aged a year...Nick was a great kid and was a great son and he and his Dad were very close..it is slowly wearing him down...breaks my heart...94 years ago H. V. Aderhold(still have the funeral parlor here...huge building..lots of deaths in West)was thrown from his hearse while driving to Abbott Wednesday night and was seriously injured. The hearse wheels dropped off the end of a culvert, throwing Mr. Aderhold from the driver's seat fracturing his wrist, shoulder and breaking one rib.(wonder if he was tipping at something to keep him warm)West Lady Trojans placed second in the Athens softball tournament...A Leroy hometown boy is going to compete at the Houston Rodeo, he is ranked 8th nationally in steer wrestling.His name is Cody Pratka in case you watch rodeo....

Oh, man you are going to love this one.....in DAM NEWS this morning there was an article on ole Kinky and I laughed my ass off....here 'tis....
NOT YOUR USUAL BLARNEY.....but then, Kinky isn't your usual politician.Kinky Friedman's response to being photographed violating the state's open container law....the Kinkster was drinking a beer while riding in a car as grand marshal of the Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day parade..showcases why so many find his entertainer-turned-politician personality appealing.(Picture of Kinky taking a taste of Guiness. ) Kinky admitted violating the laws of man but appealed to a higher authority:"Guinness is the drink that kept the Irish from taking over the world. It would be unthinkable not to have a Guiness during a St. Patrick's Day parade. In fact, it would be spiritually wrong."(The next day speaking in Fort Worth, the Kinkster tossed off an even better line:"I admit to drinking it, but I did not swallow."
No, we're not endorsing public drinking as long as your funny. Nor do we believe that being a quick draw with a one-liner is a qualification for the governorship.As we've said previously, if Kinky wants voters to put him on the ballot, he's got to lay out a thoughtful, comprehensive vision.But only the bluest of the bluenoses would have maintained scowls in the face of Kinky's good-humored response to this "scandal."Can you image how a typical politician would have handled it? He would have issued groveling apologies and immediately scheduled a photo op at a rehab clinic. The usual interest groups would have issued tut-tutty press releasess, and we'd be off to the dismal races.
All of us force politicians to be like this. We magnify missteps and peccadillos out of proportion. The media, talk radio, blogs, special interests and entire modern partisan machine attack flaws as a nuclear reactor does a lump of uranium:drawing astonishing amounts of heat out of the smallest bit of nothing.This is not good for America. Kinky Friedman reminds us that to err is human and laughing at oneself can be a sign of grace...I wish I knew who wrote this so I could give full credit to them...It was in editorial pages in DAM NEWS....
I had heard he had commited some great blunder but never knew what it was and then saw this in the paper...Now you see why even if he doesn't make it to the governors mansion...I'm still for Kinky....As Will Rogers said, "This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something."
Help!!!!!!!!! Actually this is sort of for me...but thought if I 
could (with all of your help) come up with a snappy, cute, funny catch phrase or a theme song for Kinky's champaign it might help him and help me while I am out stumping for my friend of Jewish persuasion..because I don't think the titles of his songs will do it...'they don't make Jews like Jesus any more.'...'Get your buscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.'...and 'Asshole from El Paso'I did go to his web site and there is alot more information about what he plans on doing and what he wants to do...I am more impressed now than I was before,a lot more impressed..I still don't think me asking people to 'give it up for Kinky' is going to work with all of the people out there...ha...-So....put your heads together and see what you can come up with....its kind of like one of Denise's caption contests......but not...Come on ya'll....give it up for Kinky....
Radio spot features Willie Nelson, touts virtues of biodiesel fuel.By Wayne Slater(Senior Political Writer for DAM NEWS.Austin, Texas.Kinky Friedman unveiled a radio spot Wednesday touting incentives for alternative energy, marking the campaigns effort to begin portraying the singer and mystery novelist as a gubernatorial candidate who's serious about the issues.The 60-second ad features musician Willie Nelson, who calls Mr. Friedman the candidate of "clean energy and clean government." it promotes biodiesel, a fuel made from new and used vegetable oils and animal fats, and marks a departure from the hyperkinetic "Kinkytoon" spot on the campaign Web site."With a little imagination, Texas can lead the nation into energy independence," says Mr. Nelson.Mr. Friedman is seeking a spot as an independent for governor and must collect 45,540 signatures by May 11 to get on the November ballot.Campaign manager Dean Barkley said promoting alternative energy is the first in a series of campaign initiatives focusing on isssues without abandoning Mr. Friedman's distinctive persona. In the ad, Mr. Friedman is in lively form, promising that as governor, he would order the use of biodiesel to fuel school buses and the state's fleet of vehicles."And anyone who is on renewable fuels of any kind," he said, apparently digressing from the actual campaign initiative, "gets free parking forever in Texas."Mr. Friedman said that his car does not use biodiesel fuel but that he intends to buy one that does.
The campaign said it had purchased broadcast time on 150 stations statewide for the spot, which encourages Texans to sign the petitions.The campaign played the radio ad for reporters in the parking lot of an Austin biodiesel supplier.Carrying a cigar and wearing his black cowboy hat, Mr. Friedman struggled to be heard over the music of a nearby rock band participating in the South by Southwest Music Festival.He said politicians are responsible for the state's problems."I'm not a politician, " he said. "I haven't even been indicted yet."He said Republican Gov. Rick Perry and Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn "have 59 years of political life between them. These are the people who created the situation. Are you going to bring in somebody like that to fix it?"He singled out Mr. Perry's proposal for a multibillion-dollar network of toll roads, utility lines and passenger and freight rail lines that eventually could reach many parts of the state.Mr. Friedman said he opposes toll roads and would name six existing highways for singers Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly,Bob Wills, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Janis Joplin.M
eanwhile, Mrs. Strayhorn announced that 2002 Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tony Sanchez and former House Speaker Rayford Price, a Republican, have signed her petitions to put her name on the ballot."Republicans, Democrats and independent signers are all Texans who care about the future of Texas and know tht Carole Keeton Strayhorn will shake up state government in Austin," she said.A spokesman for Democratic nominee Chris Bell said the signatures underscore her status as "an insider obsession and an electoral mirage."Ok...my take on this is........promising me free parking for life(tell me how you can pull that one off, Kinkster.) is not enough to make people elect him..No one wants him to stop being who he is...but we need more serious information from the campaign about very serious problems that Texas has...Biodiesel fuel is a good start..but keep them coming...and as for Strayhorn the 'one tough grannie'....well, sugar....I got your tought grannie right here....I stayed with the guy who brung me(democrats) untill I wanted something they weren't able to give me...a better state and a better place for children to be raised...I,unlike her, didn't hop from party to party looking for the right fit and one she thought she could sway to meet her needs...She went from Democrat to Republican to Independent.....make up your mind gannie...who da fuck are ya..So even though I have my doubts..I am still going to give it up for Kinky....fuckme till I smoke illegal cigars....
I am having a great telephone day...First my nephew Phillip, then my Dr. called and one of my meds is in...hooray....and then I get the best phone call of all...from my old boss and buddy Thomas Wiggley...or 'wiggley'.....he owned a paint company and I worked for him as paint person, wallpaper person, cashier, driver and delivery person, or just what ever they needed done person..He is the one that taught me how to custom match paints and stains...I was goooooood....Could match drops of paint on caps, plastic, watch straps, etc...had the eye...but I excelled at stain matching and it is a lot harder to do...But I rocked...don't know why,but I have the eye for it...anyhow, I left that job and they adventually went out of business, not because I left, Jones Blair shut the shop down. So we hadn't seen each other in years and years and he called out of the blue..it was great...we laughed called each other sonofabitch...and caught each other up on what is going on...He told me the funniest story about how he had named his "dick" Russell the one-eyed muscle.....I cracked up... and Russell's last name is not Wiggley but Wiggleme...So it is Russell the One-eyed Muscle Wiggleme......Now you see why he and I were such good friends...His wife Christine would listen to us go on about weird shit and just shake her head...He has 2 sons Butch and Ace...what a character..He and Christine are going to sign my Kinky Friedman list....I went to City Hall and got permission to go door to door....He didn't know who Kinky Friedman was...I had to tell them what my truck looked like and was asked not to go after dark as there were so many old folks that would be afraid of anyone knocking on their door after dark...I have also decided not to ask them to sign for Kinky Friedman either...these old folks will freak out when they hear the word Kinky...so am going to ask them to sign to get Richard Friedman on the ballot....First place I'm going is to the old farts home .....they will sign anything if I give them candy.Ok, I am off to get people to give it up for Kinky.....
Went to sleep last night at around 10:30pm...I actually didn't make Letterman..a first....slept till 6:45 am...and its 9:46am and have had cream of wheat, cup of tea and phone call from my Nephew Phillip. His computer has a virus and wanted me to know so I wouldn't think he was not emailing me for any reason, other than his computer is down. How sweet this boy is..and what a small world. He is a plumber and was in Waco 5-6 years back and Thom was his salesman and he said he really liked him and then at my sisters funeral(his mom) one of the girls mentioned her dad worked at the place where he got all his supplies and then realized that Thom was his cousin...how weird..Going to go to city hall today and see if it is ok for me to go door to door and get signatures for Kinky..We have some sort of city law about door to door sales men that you either have to get permission from the city or a permit of some kind..Not sure..Would be funny as hell if I started knocking on doors and got arrested for getting people to give it up for Kinky...Phillip also told me that his brother David who is in Iraq has been there for 3 years..we are hoping that he will be home on R&R for the reunion and Westfest this Labor Day weekend...He and Loralee, his wife are going to come down before the reunion and get a room at the Czech Inn..he thinks the name of the hotel is funny...told him ..."wait till you meet the citizens"....Damn, I hate to go to town...ugh..but need grub...Least it is a pretty day out..Has been in the 70's and sunny....Oh crap...read in the paper this am...that they released Terrell Owen from Eagles and the Cowboys released our receiver and we might be in the running to get T.O. ...I have no doubt that our coach is more than capable of keeping him in line, but don't want that asshole on my team...to have to root and want him to do good cause he is one of us...fuckity fuck fuck fuck...ok.....I'm going to West...ya'll come back and see us...ya'hea..................
Willie Nelson has a new cd out... He pays tribute to Cindy Walker who wrote some of the greatest songs...Like 'You don't know Me, Cherokee Maiden, Take Me in your Arms and Hold Me, and Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age.' She is 87 years old and lives in Mart, Texas, which isn't that far from here. Johnny Gimble plays on it along with The Jordanaires...How cool is that...I would like to hear "You Don't Know Me"..as it has always been a favorite song of mine..I wish there was a radio station that played Willie, Chris, Johnny, Waylon and all the old songs...I don't like most so called country music today...nor many of the singers...it is just pop music with fiddles...and few fiddles.. Some I do like..like Lucinda Williams, but would be hard pressed to name any more...

Eveyone knows that I love most things Texas...but I especially love ole Willie Nelson. I also am crazy about his daughter Lana Nelson who attends to The Pedernales Poo Poo. Which is a part of Willie Nelson.com..Pedernales Poo Poo consists of her pictures and musings about the shows, the people, her Dad. Miss Lana is very very talented..I l like to click on and browse through and see the pictures and read what she has to say about the events at the time.. I also stole one of her pictures for background on my computer of her Dad and the Dalai Lama together..It is the best picture I have ever seen that defines 
the word 'joy'. So I reccomend everyone taking a few minutes out of their busy day and checking out the many talents of Lana Nelson..and check out (toward the bottom of list ) the 2 pictures of Willie and Dalai.......When you go to Willie Nelson.com you will see Willie's town at the top..you will see a blurb that says Pedernales Poo Poo...click on that..you won't be disappointed...
I finished reading A Million Little Pieces by James Frye. I found the book to be less than perfect.Even though it is supposed to be a biography I would have found it hard to belive even before Oprah went on her war hunt for his balls because there were some untruths in his book. First of all, this is written by a man who is a confessed, alcoholic, dope smoking crackhead. Of course there will be lies and untruths in his life story. He was fucked up most of the time..how is he supposed to remember all the shit that went down..? Besides, he is a alcoholic, dope smoking crackhead...why not bolster up a story with a little imagination? So it makes for a better story, and wasn't the point of this book(beside making him some bucks) to reach out and help other addicts? I give him full measure for letting the world know that you can get clean and sober without turning your life over to God, the sky, a tree or some other higher power. I went to 3 AA meetings and made a promise to me and who ever was in ear shot of my screams in the parking lot of my last aa meeting...I promise I will never drink again, as long as I don't have to go to those damn meetings.I wish the AA people nothing but continued success,(15%) but I agree with James Frye, that by joining AA and turning your life over to a 'higher power' and doing their 12 steps, and just giving up all control of your life to them..well, you have traded one addiction for another...now you're addicted to AA.....I have been sober for over 14 years(actually I have lost count as counting each sober day one day at a time is a pain in the ass) and it wasn't because I went to meetings, or turned myself over to a higher power, or walked in the steps of my fellow drunks...It was because I said I am not going to drink anymore. Then proceeded to do it...I am my higher power...I have control over what I do and don't do...I have no excuse for any of my behavior other than it is what i wanted to do and I did it...Now I don't want to do it any more and I don't...That doesn't mean that some peole aren't predisposed to 
being a drunk...I do believe it is in the genes, but I also believe you can use that as a great excuse for a series of wild and drunk weekends too. OOOOOh, it's not my fault...my Daddy, or Mother or both,were drunks, so I am a drunk too...Well, fuck that..quit your whining and get off your ass and take personal responsablity for your own sins.. It sucks, but that's the truth...I will be atoning for my sins till they throw dirt on me...and so will James Frye....Which brings me back to the heart of this post..In the book James gives the results of a test he took, called the MMPI-2...it said: he suffers from depression, low self-esteem, confrontational, tends to be agressive.Sometimes reacts to confrontation with violence. He engages in self-destroying behavior. he has low tolerance for frustration. He internatizes stress and deals with it through a process of self-destruction. He is irresponsible, resentful, manipulative, hurtful and has a psychological predisposition to addition.
So after reading the book, and knowing all of this what does Ms Oprah do? The woman who is supposed to have this heart of gold, who gives cars away, donates money to all sorts of charities(and lets us know all about it)who has done nothing but good for all sorts of folk for the last 20 years....what does she do? She drags this alcoholic, dope smoking crackhead out onto her stage and humilates him in front of the entire world...and why? Becuase he lied to her through his book.. He duped her...she was emabarrassed by his 'duping'. Hell, if she was going to be embarrassed ..she should have been embarrassed when Tom Cruise made an ass out of himself, her, and who ever was watching when he did his trampoline act on her couch and pumped his arm and said "I'm in love, I am so much in love."....now that was embarrassing...Why didn't she drag ole Tom's ass back on her show and have him account for his behavior. That asshole owes ME an opology.
So I say to James Frye...good book.....continued success...and to Ms. Oprah? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Good bye Dubai....Good bye Dubai...Good bye DubaiI'm glad to see you go....The only bad thing about them bowing out before we could toss them out, is that Congress wasen't able to stress to Forest Gump how out of touch he is with the American people and just how wrong he is...Hey Sooner....? This is where you put the picture of the guy with his head up his ass...
I don't know if it was a fatal flaw in my plan, a power nap gone wrong or I really did want to vote for Kinky. Tuesday I hadn't slept and took what I thought would be a little nippy nap and ending up sleeping till after the voting booth's had closed..So I saved my self for Kinky even when I didn't mean to ..So now I'm giving it up for Kinky. Going to sign the petition and help get signatures for Kinky and see if we can't get him elected.. I can't believe I slept right through the primary. do'h. I finished the book 'The City of Falling Angels by' John Berendt. What a waste of trees...I am reading 'A Million Little Peices by James Frye....so far it is pretty good...While reading it I was remembering the first and second interview with him on the Oprah Show and I came to the conclusion that ole Oprah really screwed up when she had him on the show.First she has him on and goes fucking gaga over him and his book. Just raves about it...makes it sound like the best book she has ever read.....then she finds out that he embellished the truth in his book, in enough places where she feels'duped'.....With no thougth to what it might do to his sobriety or his mental health, gets him back on her show and rakes him over the coals, embarrassed him speechless and treats him like a mass 
murderer...Judas priest...he's a drug addict, alcololic crack head..of course he lies...that's what they do..they lie....he has told those stories 70-11 times...and every time he tells the stories they change just a little...mainly because he can't remember what really happened, and if you're going to change the story, might as well, make it a bettter story..I understood it completely..but ole Missy Oprah....noooooo, he duped her....like that is the first time someone took advantage or duped her...excuuuuuuuuuuse me...but seems like Tom Cruise's couch jumping episode was a dupe on a gigantic scale..Jumping up and down on that couch pumping his arms in the air telling her and the world "im so in love".....fuck....i would have been more embarrassed by that little show than the fact that some crackhead, drunk pill popper stretched the truth in a book about his drug history...What a hypocrite....she really showed me a side of her that I didn't find flattering.Think she's been reading her press releases.....it's just Hollywood Oprah, not the cure for cancer...fuckme till I give you my autograph
Yes, I received my new Vanity Fair magazine....filled with all the perfume samples....Sat down in my chair to read it and started sneezing right off the bat..damn perfume samples...had to go through the magazine to tear out all the samples...they make me sneeze..and sneeze and sneeze..toss in a couple of pees between the sneezing and you had my morning..It was worth it ...VF has the greatest articles...of course to get to these great articles you have to look at scores of skinny bitches wearing next to nothing pushing products of designer clothes, cars, watches, jewelry, vacation spots, push up bras, thong panties, over priced shinny new cars and other objects of desire that are way out of the price range of 90 % of the American population...but that is a whole 'nuther blog..There is a portion of a book,( coming out this month by Charlotte Chandler called The Girl Who Walked Alone).about Bette Davis...and it is really good and will want to read it ...I always admired her and thought she was such an excellent acctress. They don't make them like her anymore.
Ass kicking article on Grace Metalious the writer of Peyton Place...very interesting...She was hell on wheels back in a time (50's) when women wore aprons, stayed home and took care of the family..Dominick Dunne is stll cracking out articles on rich folk....this one was on the wives of Billionaires that have been arrested or jailed on fraud charges or white collar crimes.. Like I'm going to feel sorry for those rich bitches ...fuckem...Does anyone remember Warren Beaty's Reds, movie abou communism? There is an article about the movie and Warren and Jack and Diane..Pretty interesting, but really would rather they kept their articles on something within the past 25 years.One of the great things I love about Vanity Fair is that they think Forest Gump is an asshole too..and this month James Wolcott hauled his ass through the coals..huh huh..The magazine is worth the $4.50 for that alone...Plus the great article and pictures of Tom Ford's Hollywood..The pictures are pretty cool...nice shot of Angelena Jolie's butt crack and Scarlette Johansson's too for that matter....So all and all I was very happy with my first VF and am looking forward to my next one...

Monday was the 170th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo to Mexican troops during the Texas Revolution. The annual memorial service honors the fallen on both sides (from 189 to 257 defenders and several hundred Mexican soldiers) of the 13-day siege that ended March 6, 1836, four days after delegates adopted the Texas Declaration of Independence. Texas went on to win its independence.March 20th abour 400 Texan troops surrendered near near Goliad and March 27th those captured at Goliad were massacred. April 21st about 910 Texas volunteers attacked part of the Mexican army, killing 630 and capturing 730, including Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who was forced to order the withdrawal of all Mexican troops from Texas..He had tried to escape dressed as a woman...bastid...killed some of the bravest men in Texas history. During the 50's when the Davy Crockett tv show was on and was very popular my young cousin Greg(Di-an's baby brother) was a huge Davy fan...so Big Mama, Daddy Red, my aunt Estelle, Greg, my parents and I all went to the Alamo. They all lived in Mesquite, and had driven down just to take Greg to see the Alamo where Davy had fought so bravely. Daddy was stationed at Kelly AFB but I had never been either..so off we go..With Greg wearing his blue jeans, cowboy boots, spurs, twin guns strapped to his tiny waist(he was 
about 7) and his coonskin cap...he was Davy Crockett...We start walking up the path to the intrance of the Alamo and it is nothing like what you would expect..it is a small chapel on tree covered grounds, right smack dap in the middle of San Antonio...We enter this most holy and sacred place to all Texans...silent and in awe of the history of this musty smelling adobe church..We all look around and try and put ourselves in the places of Davy, Bowie, and those brave boys from Tennessee and Kentucky...Greg looks to the left, the right and up to the ceiling.....mouth hanging open in wonder...and then this small little replica of David Crockett speaks out and says:"Is this the place where all them bastard Meskins kilt ole Davy?"..My Aunt, Grandmother, Mother and Daddy and I did what them boys should have done....we split....REMEMBER THE ALAMO
Went to post office to mail the pictures to my friend Karla who will have them back to me I hope in about a week..Then I went to the library and checked out 3 new books..
1) A Million Little Peices by James Frey..(who got a spanking on Oprah Winfrey's show, and for the record thought she was just a little too I'm above doing wrong and your a giant asshole for my taste)...I mean for the Goddess's sake..he was an alchoholic drug abuser...of course he lied..that's what drunks do....why tell the truth when we can embellish a little and make it better...sanctimonious heifer)2)The Regime by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins(the lastest in series of the Left Behind Books...yes I read them even though I don't believe in God, it is still good reading)3)The Lighthouse by P.D. James...Will let you know how I liked them..It is another spring time day in West, Texas and I can't tell you how beautiful it is..Texas has the most amazing clouds...that is what I really missed when I lived in S. Calif. was the clouds....there was so much smog you couldn't see the sky most of the time....and when I came back to Texas I swore that I would never take for granted 'them big fat fluffy pillowy clouds'.....more than once I have just stopped the truck, got out and leaned on it to look up at the sky and appreciate the wonder of Texas skies filled with those lovely clouds...The only draw back for my day is when I went out this morning to get the paper, I found Rocky's breakfast...a beautiful red bird...damn him..it's not like he need's the food, he eats like a pig...I know it is the cat in him...that is what cat's do...but damn...I just hated to see that bird ending up as his meal...little fucker..
The high light of my day was checking my mail and finding my first edition of Vanity Fair. Shady Lane had told me she was getting me a subscription to it as they always had great stories in it and she wanted to be able to talk with me about them...we likes to bullshit on stuff we find interesting...What is really funny is that a hard shell yankee with a fuckyou and your mother attitude could end up being friends (for over 30 years) with a hard shell fuckyou, how's your mother attitude. Ain't life a kick in the ass...So I will also be updating you on the articles in Vanity Fair.I can just see you all rolling your eyes in your head going "and we should give a shit? why?"...Because I will try to be funny and will say fuck alot..I don't know if you all have noticed but with the exception of when I am conversing about forest gump and an occasional fuckity fuck fuck fuck....I have been trying to delete most of my random fucks...not sure why...maybe I'm trying to be more user friendly...But knowing me the way I do.....that won't last long...I have been saying fuck in one form or another since I was 4 years old...so don't expect it to last long...Besides I figure if I'm not going to do it I should at least be able to say it..I just reread my post...lots of fucks in there..so maybe I'm not deleting as many as I thought....
I thougth Jon Stewart was hysterical....the opening 5-10 minutes was just perfect...and that he was poking fun of the biggest stars in Hollywood, made it even funnier..Like he said, what are they going to do, bust me down from basic cable.?I was pleased at some of the awards and disappointed at some others...think Matt Dillion should have won supporting actor for Crash as apposed to George Clooney, but think it was sort of a popularity contest...and would have loved to see Felicity Huffman win instead of Reese Witherspoon.....and even though the academy nominated Broke Back Mountain for 8 Oscars, I didn't think it was going to come away a big winner..But they did honor Ang Lee as Director..And for a change it didn't go over by 2 hours like it usually does.So if you didn't watch and want to know who was nominated and who won...email me..I have all the winners...ha..have done that every year for about 15 years or better..To me the biggest fuck up on award was the original song Oscar which went to Mafia 3? or somthing like that for a song called It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp....from Hustle and Flow....it's not that I don't think it 
deserved to win,,(it didn't ..no way..)..it's just that you know not one of those old farts voting for Oscars have ever even listened to a rap song more or less listened to it enough to say...oh yes, this is the best song....Dolly Parton was up for Traveling Through from Trans America....and she sang it and Mafia 3 did theirs and puuuuuuulease...there was no comparison....Show me one white person under the age of 30 who can tell me one line from that song other than it's hard out here for a pimp..and I will kiss yo ass...Those old farts were just trying to look cool....and all they did is make asses out of their selves...although it was worth the price of amission to see them get up and thank everybody in the rap world...and they were the only ones that thanked Jesus..which I enjoyed...They had better commercials at Oscars than at Super Bowl...the one for GM was really cool...especially if you're an old fart like me...and the best part of the Oscars? Was when they introduced Samuel L. Jackson and he strutted out there like the baddest mother fucker in town.....he swaggered....and I loved 
it....it was hot....They need to take Lauren Bacall back to the old farts home...she had lots of trouble reading her lines and was doing the Kathern Hepburn head wobble...Right after the local news Jimmy Kimmel's show was on ...he had Quintin Tarantino, Johnny Noxville, and the Tennessee Three (John Cash's band)....it was pretty funny....they used the 5 second beeep for bad language a lot....think Q. and Johnny N. were nipping a little back stage before they came on...I think they word for the night was cocksucker....So there you go folks...the Hollywood update....
I cand breed...caud ma node id stufped ud...I hab alergz....fud it
Ok, I typed it and I can't understand what I said...I may have found my calling...hire myself out on line for plumbing jobs...Mr. BYG, just email me and tell me what the problem is...and I can tell you how to fix it..Plumbing is easy...just don't ask me to do any electical work..I go out side and turn off the electricity just to change light bulbs...that shit is scary..Although I could tell you how to do the job, just don't trust myself to actually do it...I looked up waterless tanks for Waywrong and wow, those babies are cool...I want one of them...and a new toilet..Thom said he had one for me and I said I could put it in.....but haven't heard from him soooo...Went through a bunch of pictures so I can send them to Karla and she can email them to me and I will send to soonerboy, she also said she would download them to a disc so I would have them to watch any time I want...Found one of Michael Ray, Larry Wayne and Jackiesue....all three of us lined up against the wall of Daddy Red's barn out in the country. We look like we are standing in a lineup. Larry is 3 years older than Mike and I and Mike was 2 months older than me..so we must have been 3 and 6...I don't remember the picture at all...there is another one of all three of us sitting on the ground up against the barn eating ice cream out of a carton and we look dazed from icecream over dose.. (Even then I had a thing for ice cream).But I can't find it...also a great picture of my Daddy..and of course the kids and grandkids..some of me...younger version and older fatter version...and one of Shady Lane...and assorted pets.can't wait for sooner to get them and put them up...and speaking of putting pictures up, didn't he do a great job with the pictures...love the blow job on the dog...if you get bored you should just skip back to the beginning and look at all the pictures he put on my posts..don't have to read them..just enjoy the pictures.. He does such a great job...good boy sooner...good boy...Maryjo called and Bailey is doing ok, but they figure he has about 3-4 more or less, days before he will stop eating and when he does that..he will join Chuck, Bill, Nate,Eddie, Lucy, etc..in heaven...
I'm watching the race...they are actually making corners...and drive alot on the grass..but this is more of a race than the going round and around and around..Leo commented and told me that I reminded him of Wyoming Knott in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein....well, I'm sorry to say that is one I havent read, but will check it out Monday..as I only have 2 books left out of that stack of books to read..Well, I do have a Shel Silverstein children's book to read and 2 auto-biographs I picked out from Used Shit Store.One by Shelly Winters and One by John Houston...so I have read 11 books..Will have to go back and see when I posted the list and see how long it took me...Henrietta said I have read over 10,000 books in the past 11 years..that is just from the library, that doesn't count the ones I have bought or had given to me...and my own collection of books..Damn. I need to get a life..Also, thanks to Soonerboy's posting of the picture of the Zulu's...you will be able to compare that picture to the picture of the Zulu's in the paper or on tv....Such a difference..I know my Zulu's...I have Lady Blacksmith Mombassa cd's, and they are Zulu....still don't think them guys at the parade were Zulu's...So sue me...Fuckme till I tote a spear
I love coming to my blog and finding all the new pictures that soonerboy has put on my posts...he does such a terrific job..matching up the picture with my post...the boy is a genius...some times the pictures are better than the post...my love to you my bastard son..Dom if you are reading this...Artic Monkey's are going to be on Saturday Night Live next Saturday..I don't know if you get SNL in jolly old England, but if you do, this is your Artic Monkey alert as I know you like them...To everyone out there that is taking on home repair jobs, whether painting, plumbing, (no electrical) repairing, mending, refinishing, outdoor or indoor...let me know....I am a semi-professional at most of these things...painting especially...might be able to help you with what you are trying to do. Like I have said...Jackie of all trades, mistress of none..I also do most of the work on my truck and did most of all the work on my cars, from trucks to jeep. 
So use me ......Im cheap...is it me or did something weird just happen to my font...what the fuck ?i know i must have done something but not sure what...kinda cute though....I finished reading Iris Johansen's On the Run.....it is fluff...I hate books on supposedly strong women but can't keep thier pants on because of that one man..who makes them tremble and get hot in their nether regions..jeez...get a vibrator...and learn how to change your own tires..So unless you like fluff books....skip this one..reading The City of Falling Angels now..
I talked to my friend Karla who used to be my neighbor but now lives in Mo. and she said she would scan my pictures and put them in an email so that soonerboy can post them for me...So you will be able to see what i looked like then and now..well, at least close enough to now to get an idea what I look like.also pictures of Rocky and Churck and Nate, and Baby and Bill..all who have gone to their great reward ....that is the problem with getting old, the damn pets don't last as long as you..Maybe I should get a parrot..teach it to talk and they live forfuckingever....ya, Rocky would love that...some feathered friend to talk smack to him..also pictures of Jenny and Jamie and her pit bulls...which are beautiful...you'll see...I am going to have an Oscar party for one tomorrow night...I'm probably the only one who will be watching it..but I love award shows and Oscar's are my favorite...jeez...I need to get a life...going to go read my book and finish reading my blogs....see ya'll at the races tomorrow..where Babs has assured me that the cars actually make turns and don't just go around and around and around....
