I was feeling fragile and somewhat invisible tonite, stuck at home after surgery on one of the few holidays I enjoy. So I made a self-portrait.

Now I'm an artist too, mothafuckas.

Something weird inspired me to make a portrait of Cher. Anyone want a t-shirt of this?

Happy Halloween!

A search for "Captain Heinous" on Google yields the following:
"Why don't you lard-ass complainers get out there and go see what the client wants! If you wouldn't sit in the office all day, maybe you wouldn't need a $700 chair. [No disrespect for the physically disabled]."
-not sure what that means but interesting anyway.
I've decided not to buy up all the combinations and try my luck with the lottery ticket forensic experts should I win. The ticket is in so-so shape and I think they would be able to trace it back to the store.
By the way, I've just spent the last hour getting aquainted with Friendster. I've heard about it from multiple places and finally decided to take the plundge. Friendster is a perfect example of a what Seth Godin would call an Idea Virus.
BTW, if I win the $96 Mil I plan on building a bar called "Low" .
Last night as I was trying to sleep my mind raced. The California Lottery is up to $95 mil now and I purchased a ticket two nights ago. I usually just purchase one ticket. It is my way of participating in the great proletariat dream and also contribute to the idiot tax at the same time. So I forgot about the whereabouts of the ticket and decided to do some laundry. Lo and behold the ticket was in my jeans and become slightly damaged as a result. I can still read the numbers except the last one (the "Mega" number). Now I'm thinking that if I match all five numbers I may have a winner and if the lottery commission can acertain that the ticket was purchased at the convenience store where I bought my ticket then I'm probably holding a winning ticket. It would then be my hope then that the commission would grant me a win.
Since I don't know what the "mega" number was, it was a random draw, I could do is buy up all the same numbers and choose a different "mega" number. This would cost me $27, since there are 27 combinations. I don't think I will do this. However I also want to sleep and I have the kind of crazy luck where just this kind of thing happens, I win but it'll take a team of forensic scientists a month to come up with a ruling.
The lottery is held on Wednesday night. Any suggestions?
This past week a 19 year old male was arrested in San Francisco for making bomb threats against various public buildings like the Marcone Center and a crowded movie theater. He was disgruntled because he was denied entrance to an OracleWorld event for which he was registered (quite possibly the dumbest reason ever to make a bomb threat). He used an ingenious method for placing his bomb threat calls. He would go to ip-relay.com and type his threat in. This website is set up to help the deaf community place calls that they normally would have to place over TTY machines. The interesting thing is, anyone can use the service (deaf or not) and the content is confidential. Apparently even bomb threats can be made. So, at the risk of contributing tools to the Devil's workshop, I give you, the readers of Lowbar IP-Relay.com.

According to a Washington Post article that appeared today, Prince William and Virginia Beach have much in common. Of course they are talking about Prince William County and not Di's oldest son but it does cause the mind to wander a bit and try to see just how similar the Prince and the popular beach resort are.

Biggest surprise on the big day... A college kid was the first name on the ballot. Hats off to Daniel Watts, who I hope by some fluke of voter laziness becomes the next Governor of the world's sixth largest economy. I'm a bit bummed that I just noticed that Kurt E. "Tachikaze" Rightmyer, a middleweight sumo wrestler and Bruce Margolin, a marijuana legalization attorney also ran. I loath Arnold Schwarzenneger for running. He ruined a really cool election. I mean we could have had some really interesting guy/gal as governor and he had to wipe them all out, forcing me to vote for Bustamante.
A couple of names also caught my eye as vote worthy just due to the uniqueness of their name (this afterall would have been the chief and only reason to vote for me had I come up with the three grand to register as a candidate --Howie "Hardcore" Bag-a-donuts): Nathan Whitecloud Walton, David Laughing Horse Robinson, Reva Renee Renz, Dick Lane, Edward "Ed" Kennedy, Trek Thunder Kelly, Michael Jackson, S. Issa, Ivan A. Hall, Rich Gosse, Lorraine (Abner Zurd) Fontanes, Cheryl Bly-Chester, Vip Bhola, Badi Badiozamani, Mary "Mary Carey" Cook and Iris Adam.
Absentee voting should be ruled unconstitutional. If you can't get your fat cargo to the polls, taking part in the truly American institution of election day, then you shouldn't be allowed to vote. If a US Senator can't make it to the Floor then they don't get to vote, why should you? If you're currently residing in Guam or Florida but still want to vote in California, then get here, pay taxes and vote. It's that simple. Arnold already has the election won by the two million absentee voters. If those voters had waited until today and had seen all the negative press around Arnold's groping charges and his refusal to answer any questions until after the election (he knows he already won), I doubt they (the absentee voters) would have voted him in.
Tomorrow is the big big BIG election here in California. I am a bit torn on what to do. Frankly I don't care too much for Gray Davis. Jobs (mine) have left the state, car registration fees have skyrocketed and the whole energy crisis happened on his watch. I don't think he's a good leader. I also don't like Arnold. He seems draconian, primative and I hate how he says "Sacramento fat cats". Under normal circumstances, like if Gary Coleman or Gallagher had a shot at winning I would vote to oust Davis and vote one of those fine gentlemen in. But it looks like Arnold is going to win so I must a) vote to keep Davis and b) vote for Bustamante. These are two things that I really don't want to do but oh well.
What will California be like under Arnold? My prediction: it'll be boring. We'll be bored before the inaugeration. I'm already bored. zzzzzzzzzz
I'm more interested in what happens to Prop 54. Prop 54 is basically a feel good piece of legislation that will prevent the state from collecting information on ethnic backgrounds, something that the French have been doing for years. The medical community is against it but I think it'll be interesting to see how the voters react since the language of it seems so nice and harmless.
In other news... Renegade Tiger Takes Stage, Life (BK joke, not mine) and the best damn collision in baseball happened tonight. I was asked if I felt bad for the guy. Hells no! I say, he gets paid bazillions to get knocked unconscious. What's with the cowboy hats on the Boston fans? I hope that one doesn't catch on like the rally monkey did. Why do people have to invent things like that? Somebody is actually buring the midnight oil right now, mass producing those things in hopes that they do catch on.
