Yo Ho Ho! It's officially Christmas season!

My cousin Bobberto Rodriguez Phamingo Diego Martinez Montoya Lopez Gomez sent me a photo of me last year at our family Christmas party. This is when we were singing Christmas carols.

Darkness, It screams to me!

That reminded me to send a letter to Santa. I send him a letter every year. Actually, that's a slight exaggeration. I only wrote Santa once before, including this time. The following is an actual transcript of the actual letter.

Dear Santa,

'Sup bitch?

This year I have been particularly good. In case you were too busy eatting, you fat slob, here is a list of five of the many great things I have done so far:

1. I was awarded the Noble peace prize for literature for my short story,
The Title of This Short Story is Actually the Entire Story
.
2. I single-handedly saved three lives by performing colonoscopies on four elderly llamas. With my other hand, I delivered twins in a parked car in a traffic jam during rush hour. One of the twins, Handsome Awesomesky, is named after me.
3. I ate zucchini.
4. Figured out something to put in the space for #4 on the list of five great things I have done this year.
5. Won the inventor of the year award for coming up with a way to not be naked under my clothes.

So, as you clearly see, you should bring me these gifts. There are in no particular order. Some things on the list have links with more data, pictures, etc.

When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One by David Gerrold - This is a sci-fi novel. I'd like a new (as in not used) copy, hardcover if it was even printed in hardcover. Good luck finding this.

An 18" K Constantinople Crash Cymbal - You can learn about this cymbal
here and purchase it here. I'll need a good, double braced, boom cymbal stand for this as well.

Star Wars Battlefront II for Playstation 2

Lego Bricks -

- 2 X 4 Black Plates
- 1 X 6 Black Plates
-
1 X 6 White plates
- Assorted Jumper Plates
- 2 X 2 Smooth Top (SNOT) Plates

50 Lbs. of Domestic 2-Row Pale Malt - Unmilled

A Home Cheapo gift certificate so I can buy things I want without Michelle telling me I don't need it.

Tools
- 6" or 8" C-clamp (not a cheesy Hell*Mart version)
- 18" bar clamp/spreader (
IRWIN makes some good clamps)
- 24" Pipe clamp (try
Pony)
- A Stanley carpenter's square like this one.


A Minus the Bear CD other than
Menos El Oso, which I already own.

Korg Chromatic Tuner - the one in the link exactly.

A 14" Evans Genera Coated Snare Drum Batter Head. After rocking like John Bonham for 10 months on my old drumhead, the top ply finally cracked. Now I need a new one.

I could also use a good 8' step ladder.

This Thrashers shirt, in XL because I'm fat.

That's all I can think of now. Maybe Michelle knows something else I might deserve.

Thanks Santa!

Love,
Mike

PS If you read this blog Santa, please share this wishlist with anyone who might buy me presents.

I've sold out to the man

Well, I finally gave in and put a video on my blog. I didn't make this, but it's still cool. (Hey, sometimes other people get lucky and do cool things too.)

Enjoy!

Balance of Power

Today is veteran's day. My father and my brother are veterans, and Smigeon is also a vet.
Thank you all.

Last weekend, Andre finished the NYC marathon within an hour of Lance Armstrong, just like he hoped he would. Good for him. I was thinking of running in the marathon too, but then I remembered God invented cars so we didn't have to run places. He wants us to drive, it helps us keep our bodies from harm.

With the Democratic take over in Congress, big companies, like Meglo*Life here in Homer Simpson, CT, are wondering if the new lawmakers will crack down on business practices and such. To be completely honest, Meglo*Life is actually pretty good and we try to be honest whenever it behooves us. (Hell, we can't be any worse then the big pharmaceticals, or Ralph Nader...)

Anyway though, we've been working on improving our projection of future lifetimes, since that will effect our reserving and prices. One of the side effects of this is that we can not only predict what people will need in the future (medical needs, financial needs, etc.) we also get a good idea of what people will look like in the future too.

I decided to run the new model for a friend of mine, Will. Currently, he's a high risk individual based on his flambuoyant lifestyle and ultra-tight European jeans.

Here's how he looks now:
I got gum on my pants!

And, according to the model, if he continues to live the way he does, here's what Will will look like at age 55:
Wanna see my brain?


Pretty amazing huh?
