Spoke to soon? Said this week that I'm getting too old for movies. Just finished my second one in a week. Wow. Oh well. At least I have yet another excuse for posterity as to why I'll never finish any of my deservedly unfinished novels. And so. Here's a quesiton for ya, dear worst-reader: How does one … Continue reading Movie Bad Trip
Low Life Behavior
"This is the excellent foppery of the world that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and … Continue reading Low Life Behavior
Side Of The Trade
Curiosity has hit this Ausländer a wee bit more than usual since Jan 1. The beginning of 2015 has offered up a lot to consider. First, the Swiss unpegged their precious Franc from the Euro. Second, East Germans, most of which were educated under the auspices of Margot Honecker, presented their intellect in the form of … Continue reading Side Of The Trade
Softly Them Kill
It's hard watching movies these days, dear worst-reader. I think that's due to 1) my age, 2) I'm movied-out. Wait. Those two things probably aren't exclusive. Nomatter. One of my hobbies is to curate my own little personal digital movie library. Using Apple's (the great monopoly) iTunes as my media server, I purchase most of my … Continue reading Softly Them Kill
Innards of a Dog's Paw
Afeared, he woke in a blaze of glory and almost lived his life just the same. Glorified, he went to sleep in a puddle of yearning that is always stirred by the ghosts he made. Where this should end, were the last words he said to his good-wife that night before the morning that would be his end. … Continue reading Innards of a Dog's Paw
Twice As Much
Worst-thought of the day on how the world really works. A fairy appears to a worker-bee of the western world while that worker-bee is taking a break in his cubicle and dreaming of a better life. The fairy says: I will do anything for you that you want but remember whatever I do for you I will … Continue reading Twice As Much
The Same Game
Maybe, just maybe, dear worst-reader, you should stop playing the same game as everybody else. Ever think about that? I mean, that's the ticket, ain't it? There is one game and everybody (EVERYBODY) plays it. There is no variety in the games we play. There is no difference in the games we play. And so. Eventually that … Continue reading The Same Game
Costs Plus BS Equals?
Back in the day, dear worst-reader, when I worked for the man--you know, like you still do--I remember vividly the beginning of the end. The end of working for the man, that is. Indeed. It started about two years before I dropped out (and tuned in). It was my last stint at one of those … Continue reading Costs Plus BS Equals?
They Never See Me Coming
When I first saw Devil's Advocate I was impressed. Not too much horror to make me bite my fingernails, enough intrigue to make me hang on to the story, and a perfect mix of brilliant writing and direction. Reeves is, like w/ most of his work, a mediocre actor that's just hard to dislike. Theron … Continue reading They Never See Me Coming
The Slime Ball Cometh
Oh my. Unbelievable. Only in #americant, baby. In my post Barrel of Fun I had a few not so flattering words to share with worst-readers everywhere about Mitt Romney. And if I may toot my own horn, I rather like the post, especially the part where I wax philosophical on what Romney's father did to … Continue reading The Slime Ball Cometh
They Were Really Great
"Their precepts related chiefly to ourselves, and the government of those passions which, unrestrained, would disturb our tranquility of mind. In this branch of philosophy they were really great. (Italics mine.) In developing our duties to others, they were short and defective. They embraced indeed the circles of kindred and friends, and inculcated patriotism, or … Continue reading They Were Really Great
Protesting My Delusions
The mist of violence has cleared and I'm still pretty angry about thugs and guns and the vulnerability of artists. I'm ashamed to admit it but for the first time since the deadly farce of the western world's war-on-terror, I actually felt a jitter of pro-violence-lust running through my veins as I watched the Charlie Hebdo tragedy … Continue reading Protesting My Delusions
Pilgrams And Pirates
"Pilgrims had sailed to 'The Americas' to establish doctrinal purity, and pirates had made the same voyage in search of treasure and slaves. In Paine's time, however, the New World of 'the United States of America' (a name he may have coined) was an actual and concrete achievement; not an imaginary Utopia but a home … Continue reading Pilgrams And Pirates
Get A Grip On Your Monsters
Never forget the moment right after #americant started bombing Afghanistan in 2001 when the Taliban leadership went on the telly and called my grand united mistakes a bully. There was also a time (in the not so distant past) when a simpleton named Rodney King got caught up in the severity of being a simpleton and thereby thought he could mix wits with the … Continue reading Get A Grip On Your Monsters
What Is Money #27
Money? In most cases. You can't really earn it anymore, you can only work for it. Or something like that. Rant on. -tgs-
How To Stop The Dominoes
Have this behind me: the frustration felt during the wars-of-choice that have sent #americant into its current spiral of empire delusion? There are a few things that will always remain from those years. The first is the fact that the people who didn't vote joined the ones who did vote and all elected Dubya (twice!) The price for this apathy … Continue reading How To Stop The Dominoes
Jesus Is Charlie
http://youtu.be/vln9D81eO60 #jesuischarlie. So is it saying "I am Charlie" or is it saying "Jesus is Charlie"--albeit mispelled? Ok. So much for worst-writer's attempt at satire--and spelling. Or even worst-writing a decent article about what recently happened in Paris. Nomatter. Today, dear worst-reader, we have a worst-first. This is, I think, the first time I've posted a … Continue reading Jesus Is Charlie
Poor vs Poor
The subtitle of this post is: When Protests Don't Matter. Yes, dear worst-reader, I'm a very negative person. Thank you for asking. Yet. With that said, allow me, behind your back, to (re)define negative. The reality is, negative these days has little to do with the opposite of positive. Besides, it is the same idear when it … Continue reading Poor vs Poor
Glove Thumb
Winter is a time for gloves, among other warming garments. Yet there is something worst-unique about gloves above and beyond garments. (Perhaps the same goes for (thick) socks? That's another worst-post.) My gloves are always together on a small table next to the front door. When I go out I grab them and put them … Continue reading Glove Thumb
As Time Doesn't Go By
Two things this morn, dear worst-reader. There are the many who don't know the Interwebnets. There are the few who don't know the Interwebnet. Let's begin w/ the first, shall we? As a consume-to-survivor I made a major end of the year purchase on 29.12.14. It took worst-moi a few weeks to finally make the … Continue reading As Time Doesn't Go By
Roller Rink of Mind
Back in the day, dear worst-reader. Back in the day. I'm referring mostly to the 80s and 90s when I still had it in me. In fact it was so in-me that I couldn't get the idears out of me. It was truly all I could do at the time for I knew that the end … Continue reading Roller Rink of Mind
The Masters of the Switches
Why is it, dear worst-reader, that the older I get the easier it is to distract me? I mean, it happens all the time. When I'm walking Beckett, the killer pug, I lose focus of the little guy whenever any female passes by in a pair of jeans. When I'm putting up a Xmas tree, hanging those … Continue reading The Masters of the Switches
Amenities
"We are all civilised people, which means that we are all savages at heart but observing a few amenities of civilised behaviour. I am afraid that I observe fewer of these amenities than you do. Reason? My back is to the wall and has been to the wall for so long that the pressure of … Continue reading Amenities
Ms. Santa, Baby
Let us go there, dear worst-reader. Let us go the humbug way. For it is that time of year where gluttonous consumption can take a break from filling guts and oversized clothes via fast food counters. That gluttony can be replaced with children accidentally eating cheaply sewn button eyes of dolls and figurines and thereby … Continue reading Ms. Santa, Baby
Hack-chu Gesundheit
"If everyone doesn't see this movie, the terrorists win." -from a shameless Hollywood promotional article here. No. Seriously. This is a joke, right? I mean, this hack on Sony Pictures is a joke. If it's not a joke, then it must be the weirdest promotion of a film ever. Right? (See link above.) Ok. If none of that … Continue reading Hack-chu Gesundheit
