But Sirius-ly Folks. . .

One of the options that came with the car I bought last winter was Sirius satelite radio. I figured for $12.95/mo, it was worth trying out. Gotta tell ya, I love it!!! All music, no 5-minute commercial blocks like the local stations, minimal talk, and the DJs actually know something about the music they play and the bands that play it. WHAT A CONCEPT!!!

I thought I was pretty savy in the world of Alternative Rock until I bought Sirius. . . They play stuff that you'll NEVER, EVER hear on your local WGAG or KBLA stations. . . Case in point, where else could you hear this little ditty from an east coast band called "Jesus H. Christ". . . .

CONNECTICUT’S FOR FUCKING
© 2004 Mickenberg/Shelton

We live in the dullest state
Package stores all close at eight
Malls are full of optometrists
And restaurants we hate
Swimming across Lake Quassapaug
Stealing makeup, catching frogs
Cutting our feet on broken bottles
As we wade in the Shepaug
It’s true for horses, cows and dogs…

Connecticut’s for fucking
That’s all there is to do.
I love to listen to classic rock
and have sex with you.

Doing hole shots at the mall
Writing Ozzy on a wall
Watch the corn get tall
There’s nothing else to do at all.
Goin’ where we always go
Doin’ what we always do
Waitin’ to turn into the people
We are bound to turn into.
What else do other people do?

Connecticut’s for fucking
It’s the Nutmeg state
If we can’t afford to buy antiques
then we just copulate. . . .

It goes on, but you get the point. . . You would be amazed at how "cut up" some songs are on commercial radio to take out the "bad words." Or, as George Carlin said over 30 years ago. . . "The heavy seven. . . The words that will rot your mind. . . Make you blind. . . And lose the war for the Allies. . ."

In other news from Motown. . .

One of the reasons I haven't posted as much lately is due to what I can only attribute to a moment of pure insanity. . .

I am now the President of our community Homeowners Association. . . OK. . . Stop laughing like a bunch of freakin' Hyenas DAMMIT!!! That means you too Denise!!!

Actually, it's not that bad, although there are moments when I want to pound my head on the wall. . . "No Mrs. Jones, you can NOT raise a Shetland Pony in your 2-bedroon condo for your daughter. . ." "Yes Mr. Smith you DO need Homeowner's Insurance and NO the Association will NOT pay to have your carpets cleaned. . ." "I'm so very sorry Ms. Bootylicious, but we really can't help the fact that it rained on the night of your back yard BBQ and your little Rat Dog caught a cold. . ."

Honestly, I'm working with some really great people to bring a sense of community to our neighborhood. . . And it's safer than dating. . .LOL!!

I am also actively looking for a new job. It has become painfully obvious that I will never go any higher than I am now with my current employer. I'm actually suprised at how much opportunity is out there right now. . . I'm in no hurry to move, but after 7 years in the same position. . . Can we at least TRY "doggy style" this week????

And I'll leave you with this final thought. . .

Our current administration places more importance on coming to the aid of the people of Iraq than they do on the victims of Hurricane Katrina. . . How the hell else can you explain the BILLIONS of $$$$ spent in that giant sand trap, the lives lost and the fact that one year later New Orleans is STILL a fucking disaster area???

If you have Congressional elections in your state this year, learn something about the people running for office. . . . Ask the hard questions. . . and above all. . . GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! Ya can't bitch if you don't make an effort to fix what's wrong. . .

King George and his ilk have to go. . . NOW!

Love Y'all. . .

HUGGSS!!
