Back from That Thing In The Desert

Yep. I've actually been back in Texas since Wednesday, but things have been busy, what with work and my garden and all. Everything grew ginormous and I spent hours yesterday harvesting jalapenos and basil and stuff, weeding, re-aligning the tomatoes and squash, and finally killing the massive 'weed' in the middle of it all. I'm pretty sure it was a weed now. Oh well, it's dead now, haha!

The playa was great as always. Ran around fucked up a lot. Saw many old friends. Got sunburned. Shittons of great art. Great camp. Great times. When I got back, my hair wouldn't go back to normal so I ended up shaving it all off. It feels weird and I don't like it much, but oh well.

It seems the only things I missed are political. I don't much care who runs the show anymore. We get jackass number one, who seems all sweet and nice but won't actually change a damn hopeful thing, or jackass number two, who will make things worse. I'd prefer them to improve slightly, so I'll back the dumbocrap. Also, that ugly bitch vice-cunt-wannabe that McCaneAbel picked infuriates me to no end. Not that I care too much. Also: the violence at protestors is getting way the fuck out of hand. They are arresting journalists and beating everyone around. America is a fucking joke. Freedom is not present. This can't go on much longer.

Also, what do I have to do to earn this patch? I wish I was a giant dragon that just went around burning huge pot leaves for the government. I guess that's pretty much what the DEA does. "Hey guys, lets claim millions of pounds of marijuana destruction. Except most of it's non-THC containing wild ditch weed. Those goddamn-ed stupid people. Surely there are better things we can be spending millions of dollars a year on. Like that fucking war or terror. I think it's about time we started another war on another brown-peopled-country. Hellz yeah. Git-r-dun.

Whelp, I've stopped making sense and no longer feel like forcing this.

Be safe and drink lots of clear piss, as you say

The cartoon to your aboveness won the coveted "Science Idol: Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest". I think it's pretty brilliant. Damn those monkeys! It's us vs them! More info about that contest and some commentary at A Blog Around The Clock.

Here is the unintentionally hilarious email my mommy sent me today: Good Morning! I am off to work with XXXX today so depending on phone service where we are I will try and call or will talk to ya tonight when you get to DFW or Reno. I love you and hope you have fun and meet lots of people. Be safe and drink lots of clear piss, as you say. I will try to keep up on the computer to see whats happening.

I guess she thought I was talking about shitty beer when I tried to describe the concept of 'piss clear' to her. Well, I'll drink some pee-pee for her now I guess.

So 'So Long and Thanks for All The [Random Commodity](pluralized)'. I'll be leaving for DFW @ 3:30 and then meet the brother there and then ZOOM to Reno and then tommorow ZOOM to the playa. Hopefully I'll see some of you out there. Otherwise, see ya when I get back. Later, gators!

This is how I feel right now

Ah, so I'm kinda getting all my playa stuff done today. I still have to wander about and get a crapton of hair bleach, I need to shave designs into parts of me, and...uh, more. I wanna get some henna. So I've got a busy ass motherfucking day today.

Other than that, I haven't really been keeping up lately as much as I'd like to on this blog. It doesn't help that I'll be gone for nearly two weeks. Just imagine me saying clever things, and ranting about a movie or something. Make some sexual innuendo with stupid words.

So Rodney Anonymous started blogging again! He's one of my favorite bloggists. Also former lead singer of the Dead Milkmen (who are playing Austin in November!) He's currently writing a 12 part thing about Caligumas, a new holiday he just made up. This made me do some research into Caligula. For the most part, I'll let you read about him, or better yet, read Rodney's blog. Anyhoo, the wiki article has a coin from when he got rid of taxes (see, he wasn't all bad...) But notice what they put right in the middle of the damn Quadran - (which means 'quarter' in Latin, as far as I can tell.) - a liberty cap mushroom top. Yes, one of the most well-known sources of psycicybin. Hmmm....maybe that explains all the crazy?

But wait. It turns out that there was actually a hat that looked like that back in those days so...maybe the world will never know. I think I'll still believe what I want, and that he spent his days eating shrooms, fucking like a madman, and marrying his horses. I mean, that's pretty much what I would have done too, or will do, if I get the power and money. I'd bring back some gladiator style fighting with convicts, that's for damn sure. And lions fighting bears fighting people too. I can't wait! Vote Twi today! Too bad he got all stabbed and killed and shit. I'd love to live in a world where Caligula rules. Hooray insanity in rulers! (Except Bush.)
