George Michael Concert
Last week I went to the George Michael show at the Forum. It was such a religious experience that I can barely speak of it. It was like seeing Jesus Christ in person. George’s voice was like a chorus of angels. I actually cried when he sang “A Different Corner”. He was that good. Pristine…magical. I have tears right now as I think back on it. Don’t get me started on “Careless Whisper”.
I’ve been sad ever since I was unable to see Wham! at the Poplar Creek in 1986. I thought my chance to hear George sing had been lost forever. I waited 22 years and finally….FINALLY!
Homeless
OK, so I was coming to work today and I was disturbed by the large number of homeless people I was seeing. I got to think about solutions to the problem. How do we help these people? How should our government help these people? I came up with a plan.
I think that homeless people should be tagged and studied. Much like the way we study animals in the wild. They would be fitted with some sort of ear tag tracking device which would track their movements and habits. If they stray into good neighborhoods then a crew would be sent out to take them back to skid row. Anyone who is homeless more than a year, maybe two, would be rounded up and put in some sort of homeless camp far on the outskirts of the city or perhaps Mexico. I came up with that part after I saw this homeless woman wandering around my neighborhood for about the past 10 years. There’s really no reason for a person to homeless that long. She needs to go. It’s really disturbing.
Now I do realize that there are reasons for homelessness that are sometimes beyond a person’s control, like losing a job or a natural disaster or fire. I certainly understand how that could happen and we all need to rally around people when shit like that happens. However, it only takes you so long to get back on your feet and if you chose to live outside the norms of society then you need to be removed from society. There’s really no reason that the rest of society should be bothered by your lack of conformity.
Does that make me a bad person because I think that way? I mean seriously, shouldn’t people be able to walk down the street without being accosted by homeless people? Should people have to endure the smells of these people as you are going about your life and minding your own business? I don’t know. I don’t really have any answers, just an opinion.
Hillary Wins!

Do you all know how fucking revolutionary this is? Do you know that you are witnessing history? This is like ‘where were you when Kennedy was shot’. Remember this day. It is one of the greatest days in American HISTORY! Hillary has won Ohio and she’s won TEXAS!!!!! This is the greatest day ever that was in my adult life.
What’s so special about Jesus?
I’m not so sure what is so special about Jesus. I think he just had a message that people of that time wanted or needed to hear. They were looking for answers about their mortality that other religions of the time were not answering and Jesus was very good at PR. Tell people what they want to hear and they will blindly follow. Is Jesus any different than anyone else who tries to sell us something? We buy “Tide” because we’re told that it cleans our clothes better. We drive a “BMW” because we’re told that it’s better than the next car. We buy expensive designer clothes because the advertising tells us they’re better. Religion is no different. Jesus was selling something and people bought it because they were told his message was better than the others.
