You will not believe this

Alright guys, here's the deal. I don't have school today. It's Ceasar Chavez day. He was a great man who changed millions of lives. Therefore we have set aside an entire day to commemorate the life and legacy of the man who invented Ceasar Salads. God bless you Mr. Chavez. Anyway, since I'm home with nothing to do today I was just digging around on line and you won't believe what I found. I found links to mp3's of Bill Cosby doing spoken word covers of Beatles songs!

Keep in mind that these are just small samplings. Also keep in mind my propensity for lying.
So Here is the Cos himself:
Revolution 9
I am the Walrus
Piggies
And here's another surprise that just blew my socks off. I came across some candid in-studio banter caught during a recording session.
Bill discussing his job on "Kids Say the Darndest Things"
The Cos trying to "keep it real"
What an amazing find.
I need to grow up.

Thanks dude. That is so charming.

Seriously, I am not making this up for effect. It's still in my nostrils right freakin' now. I got an unexpected break between a couple of classes and I'm in the computer lab trying to take care of some stuff. Some dude just puffed out an eye watering butt cloud. He's just sitting there like nothing happened.
"If I keep typing it's like I never farted"
Dude, not acknowledging what you've done does not make me suffer any less. I want an apology. I want you to look me right in the eye and say, "I did it and I'm sorry. I will make swift and decisive changes in my diet."
That's the thing. I think that his plan is to play innocent so that the IT guy will have to guess if it was him or me. He's got a fifty-fifty chance of walking out of here scott free.
He did it again! I swear to everything good and holy. I am not writing a cute little story based loosley on a series of factual events here. He just did it again. What a bastard!
His sphincter must be like a sock that lost all its elastic. Maybe I should pity him. Maybe he's like this all the time and he's got to go through life leaving a trail of wrinkled noses and birds that have dropped out of the sky. It's gotta be tough to cause that kind of public disturbance and still have the energy to pretend you don't have anything to do with it from place to place, day in and day out.
I gotta get outta this room before I get some kind of full body rash or change in skin color from being steeped in this guys by-products.

DJ's Birthday

Yeah, so last Saturday we had DJ's "science experiment / Power Rangers / food fight" birthday party. It was pretty great. They threw mashed potatoes, pasta, marshmallows, and the one of those huge orphange size cans of pork and beans. We took the pork and beans out of the can first. The can was not as big as an orphanage. A wonderful time was had by all and the pictures are up at flicker. I'm pretty sure that being my third set of pictures, this is the last actual set I get to make. Sadly, I'm on the cheap bastard plan which comes with suprisingly few features. I don't know what I'm gonna do after this, maybe I'll just empty the first set and throw it into an un-defined slurry of photos and then I'll be able to make a new set next time I need to upload more pictures. (I still have Easter pictures to upload.) Anyway, there are pictures there if anyone's interested. Hey! You'll get to see Mark Manning with mashed potatoes on his head!

What could be worse?

I was just driving home a couple of minutes ago. Ya see now, Diane was the last one to drive the Jeep and she loves country music. I turned on the radio and TWANG!!! I was horrified. My hand shot out and mashed all the pre-set buttons at once knowing that no matter what station popped up, it wouldn't be country. I was met with U2 and I had an epiphany. U2 is worse than country music. I realize that's like saying that living with your tongue sewn to your nose is worse than a night of projectile vomiting, but there you have it. If George W. Bush was so freakin' great, he would attack Ireland just for dumping U2 on us. U2 is terrorism. I'm not saying we should send troops or anything. I think that just George Bush should go over and attack Ireland. Maybe he could swat Bertie Ahern over the head with one of those red-white-and-blue, Uncle Sam-style, stovepipe hats and then kick him in the butt just like the Skipper would do to Gilligan if he were alive. I don't know, maybe the Skipper and Gilligan are both still alive. Doesn't matter to me. If someone stops making shows, I just assume they're dead and 51% of the time I'm right.
Anyway,....flight to Ireland....swat....kick...flight back to the U.S.....Ahern, "WTF was that?".....happy Jason.
Term limits, shmerm limits. That's how you get my vote, Skipper.

Disneyland!

So we went to Disneyland yesterday. We even got to go on the new "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters". The entire family went freakin' nuts over it. I scored 111,700 points. My official rank is L-4, thank you very much. Please show the proper respect when addressing me. Anyway, you can check out some pictures of the day. Here's one now...

And if you think you've seen a cuter baby than that. Well, you're wrong.
Oh yeah, Happy Easter!

Kid pics

Per Monique's request, I've put up some kid pictures on the Flickr thing. Seems like only yesterday DJ was over at the old-town apartment sucking on Elmo's eye, doesn't it?
I'm diggin' Flickr. It has some really neat features like the line that says "mpopp is a friend change". This gives me an idea. From now on, I'm going to take five minutes every morning and think about who I'm likely to run into over the course of the day. I'll then write their name, along with a short description of how I feel about them, on a 3X5 card. That way I can keep a little stack of cards and a pencil in my back pocket. When I see someone, I'll just whip out my stack, rifle through, and show them their status.
Me: Hey Bob, how's it going? (shuffle shuffle shuffle) Bob is a benevolent well wisher
Bob: Wow Jason, cool cards.
Me: (scrub scrub - - scribble) Bob is a friend
Bob: Oh sweet!
Well, I'm off to check out Flickr's other features. Man, I'm gonna be so popular so soon.

And another thing

I got me an account at that flickr thing. You can click on the "pictures" link if you want to but there isn't anything there for the moment other than that goofy picture you see up top. Hope to get something up there pretty soon.

Do they still have "prime time?"

I'm almost outta school and with my relaxed "coming down the home stretch" class schedule, I can stop getting up at 4:00 every morning to do homework (because it's an awful lot easier before the kiddies wake up). That means I can stay up and watch some real TV. Is there anything worth watching after 8:30 these days? Right now my evening TV with the kids is game shows on PAX. If you didn't know, PAX is the "safe for everyone" channel. I'm at least looking forward to seeing regular commercials again. "safe for everyone" + "game shows" = commercials aimed at old people. In commercials for the mass viewing audience, they have sexy people running around doing sexy things to get you to buy stuff. In commercials for old people products, they take out all the sexy people and replace them with grandchildren. I guess at a certain age, that's your number one fantasy:
"Oh yeah, look at those kids help around the house. I bet they can do chores I never even heard of. And check out those report cards! Holy Hannah, I'd give that a Werther's Original."
I gotta go before I freak myself out here.
