Newer posts to come later in the week.

The Darkest Knight

I'm excited, you're excited, he's excited, she's excited, and they're excited. It opens today and we all love those summer blockbusters. When it comes to a movie I really want to see no matter what, I tend to avoid reviews, previews and advertisements. It's so much more exciting that wayI like to go into these types of movies completely fresh and untainted by the over-indulgence and crushing weight of media marketing even though this movie would make 100 million with no advertising at all. They should save the money.

I always identified with the Joker. Jack Nicholson did a fantastic one in the 1989 original Batman. He was always over the top and who doesn't like a super villian that attempts to amuse and repulse at the same time? I am sure Heath Ledger will play a good one and I like the much more realistic look of a man who was disfigured by acid while commiting a burglary. There is also something much more disturbing and calculated about meeting anger with a smile then with a scowl. I have always adopted that priniciple myself.

Why is it that every town thinks that they are the ones with the craziest weather and that all their citizens are tough as nails for living there? I hate that tacky crap.

"well you know what they say, if you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minutes"

I have heard that phrase used in connection with every city in the United States. People need to get out more and realize how lame and unoriginal they are.

specializing in the impossible

My grandfather wants me stop all the junk faxes that come into the office. Okay, I'll get on that right after I stop those pesky telemarketers and spam.

You know what else ticks me off? People who think that the attitude of those around them matters. Hey, it's MY attitude and I will have whichever kind I want at any time that I want. That's why it's mine and not yours. I don't mean to sound like a tacky bumper sticker or gas-station t-shirt, but seriously, as long as I get the job done it shouldn't matter how I feel about the job right? If I want to put on a sour face while I work, its my right. If you don't like the attitude of people who do your stuff for you, then do it yourself. Otherwise, back up and let me get started on YOUR task. Don't tell me why I should enjoy it or why it matters, I just want to get YOUR task over with so I can get back to MINE. I'm not into delusion or fake-ness, I'm dead set on keepin' it real.

On a side note, my lunch got splattered all over the sidewalk on the way into work. So yeah....have a nice day and all that shit.

S.Vincent; with his clipped moustache, his whiskey-coated growl and steely self-assurance, is an aristocrat of sleaze.

I know, I know. You hate it. Been there and heard that.

.

But I am afraid it must continue, it's to be a summer tradition. "The return of the S.Vincent moustache".

A brief history is intimately tied to Jason Giambi. Last summer, not this summer, Jason Giambi grew a terrible mustache to honor current hitting coach Don Mattingly. Loving the Yankees, the work ethic of Don Mattingly, the scoundral that is Jason Giambi, and general summer boredom; I grew one too. A fabulously terrible moustache which disappeared at the start of the fall crew season with a new job title and implied responsibility. Jason removed his after 2 weeks but mine stayed for 3-1/2 months.
.

Jason Giambi has again grown a moustache, to much more acclaim this time around, and is having a great season so far. Wish I could say the same for the Yankees, but never the less, both of our moustaches have returned for another summer.
.

Why, you ask? I don't know why, but leave me alone. This is all I have during the summer. I live alone in a basement with no friends, no workout partners, no rowers to coach, and nowhere to be. So if I want to have something to do, albeit growing ugly facial hair, then I should be allowed to. SO BACK OFF!

.

My dad and grandpa both have moustaches, so I would be dishonoring the family if I didn't at least try to make this work. (I can hear you scoffing) Plus, there is something fun about growing a moustache. It's more unique then a beard and requires more upkeep. Yet, must be left alone at times. Much like a nice lawn or an exotic plant, ignore it and it will look terrible. Over-water and over-clip and it dies. But somewhere in the middle of that lies a perfect balance of wildness and regulation.
.

Will mine look good? Probably not, but gosh darn it, I gotta try....at least until September.

.

A few pics of some famous mustaches. Which seem to be back in faux-style. In fact, if you could combine all these people into one, I would like to be that person.
