It has been one of those weeks already; and by already it is only Tuesday morning.
I am in the middle of my dieting process and all I want is HomeSlice pizza. Scratch that, all I want is food. Any food would do at this point. My little girls Teddy Grahams looked amazing this morning. I mentioned this to someone, that I thought allot about food now. They’re response was “why? oh no why do you do that to yourself?” Um, it is not like I choose cognitively to do it. I would say this is like an addiction and I am trying to get clean.
I feel sorry for all the addicts out there is Internets land, I do.

So for all of us addicts, me and my  food, you and your whatever is ailing you, drugs, sex or rock-n-roll. I am going to have George Harrison pray over us with this little song that will set the mood.

Also this week: News I already knew about & a Healthcare bill I am interested in and want to know more about sans spin from either party.

We have this controversy now with the uber rightwing republicans, who tend to be most of my audience.

Obama! Obama! Just the mention of his name and noses curl, shivers of cold and tingles go down some of your spines.
Meh, lets try it on me.  Obama! When I say it I don’t think “Oh my God I have got to get out of here!” anymore than I did when Bush was at the helm. However, SS Clinton needs to get on the horn with Benjamin Netanyahu and make sure he knows we love them Jew Boys. No matter how dumb it is that they are jacking with the Middle East peace process from Obama’s perspective. We love you ‘Gods Chosen peeps’ and we would love to think that we are also ‘chosen peeps” by association! Please smile on us as we criticize you!

There were pro-Palestinian rallies in Austin Last week. Almost didn’t make the news. An Israeli band played and people threw things like rocks and insults. WTF! I am sorry, This is my town, you don’t throw rocks. Insults; fine especially if your music sucked! Of cores it didn’t suck but it is cool for you to have that opinion! I mean everyone knows Klezmer Jew rock kicks butt! The church neighbor shouts insults every Sunday morning just about.

It is all fun and games till someone gets an eye put out I am telling you.

(Hand in the air like I don’t want to hear your rebuttal … but of cores I do.
Here is one of the bands from Jerusalem ISRAEL that just played SXSW. Orphaned Land (my dad does this thing when you can tell he is not sold on something, he stretches out the skin between his nose and the top of his lip and says ”Interesting”.. can you see me doing that right now?)

The phone lines are open comment away.
Ok first caller…

It was a beautiful weekend here in Austin. SXSW was the big deal this week, so you had loads of extra people in town from all over the place. I hope no one got a bad taste in their mouths for us. Really it is hard to keep that from happening at some point. There will always be someone who has a little too much fun at some point, Guaranteed.
There was a big Spoon Show across from my building that I should have thought about. People who went said it was great. I saw them building the stage and that was as far as I got with it. I always pass up events at Auditorium shores. Remember last years rally with Obama? I watched from my tower across the river. When will I learn?
I did not take in any shows really either. That’s a bit of a change for me. Zach and I went to Home slice pizza for one of their free shows. We meant to see Joseph Arthur, but when we got there, playing was another band that what I heard of them I actually enjoyed more. For the actual set we came to see the crowd sort of cleared a bit, I assume for better shows in other locations. So we actually got to sit and relax a bit. Yeah, Relax, I knew I was a bad idea! we both fell asleep. Good Show Huh? It was just the singer on stage with his guitar in hand, and a chick playing on some tracks with an electric. Not a very rousing rock show either. I felt old and exhausted. We left early and ordered and got a free pizza due to a mix up. All in all it was nice to be out of the house. Saturday was absolutely beautiful. I didn’t care how sickly I was feeling, I needed to see the sunshine. Earlier that day we went to the park and played with the babies and had a McDonald’s cheeseburgers in all of their horrible goodness. Good day!
Then Sunday was good too. We washed the cars and had more pizza watching family guy getting tips on how to be a great dad. Hope yours was good too.

Well so far my valentines day has been one of the sweetest days I have had in a long while. I surprised Karina by hiding flowers and a card in her office last night that is how busy and hard she works. She did not even know until I called her ad started her on a scavenger hunt for her gifts this morning. She took me to my favorite pizza haunt for lunch. We had a big salad and a pizza, and she is just so pretty today.

We could not find a empty table at the steak place where she wants to go to tonight so we are there tomorrow night and tonight we will hang with our friends that also could not get into the place they wanted to. So I think I’ll get pizza again tonight. Pizza to me is like Sex. When it is bad it is still pretty good and when it is good then it is REALLY good! And twice a day, is well I don’t care where you get it that is just a gift from God. Breakfast noon and supper then you have killed it and you are liable to get struck by lightening. It is just sacrilegious, and far be it from me to sacrilegious!
So I have this green shirt that I want. It is from the defend Oahu coalition. So if any one is reading this and you are going to spend money on something and you are unsure where to put it, your local NPR station, a homeless man on the corner or the defend Oahu coalition, I think you should do the latter and if you don’t want the shirt I am a large and you can send it to me. And if you need my address you can ask and I will send you my address. (Wink)

I am fasting for 3 days and I do not really understand what difference it makes if I do not eat. Why is it called a fast? And why do I suddenly smell every whiff of any thing even remotely related o food. I swear I smelt what I thought at first was dog crap and by the time I had walked past the defecate I had tuned the smell in char grilled hamburgers.

I am trying to work and al I can think of is a pizza.

I went to lunch with a friend from work and saw part of the tour de France. Lance lives here in Austin so every one in this little pizza place was cheering when he would be on the screen. Pretty cool. Yes praise Lance, blessed be his name. It was the first time I have been in a place that every one was watching the tube when it was not a tragedy. It felt like a movie, and I was an extra. The pizza went down the right pipe though! This place also has 4 dollar pitchers of Fat Tire. I could live there.

I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other bruthas cant deny…
