Official Announcement: BRINGING YOU THE RAWK!!

Thanks to Ginger for being the starlet and Caroline for the photog!

Help us bring the rawk next Thursday April 26, at the Velvet Lounge.

Mad as hell and I am not gonna take it

Is this thing working?

or am I tired?

CREATING THE BUZZ NOW!

Not the best flyer made but I needed something to pass out this evening.

April 26th at the Velvet Lounge we are playing with the Hall Monitors (THE best band in DC, hands down) and some band from somewhere else The Sundresses. We play first come early STAY late.

This could very well be our last show ever..... Peter is moving to Beijing and no drummers are knowcking on our door. It is bound to be a great show, most Bolo shows are!!

Exchange on the street (sidewalk)!

"Hey buddy you got some change?"

"How you doing today?"

"DRUNK!"

Lunch, JUST NOW!

i spied a seat, after collecting my yummy indian fare from my favorite fast food india joint, in my usual spot (against the windows on the booth/bench seating). At the table next to mine was one of the local street people who you can ususally find at the corner of 11th and NY ave bouncing from person to person and car to car asking for change. Usually with some desperate story about just getting out of a hospital or need for food.

This plump, jovial individual who emmits an air of euphoric disturbance was busy chomping away at her chosen meal of the day; bar b que, macaroni and cabbage....

Each bite was interspersed with mumblings about some "house that contained a baby" and how HANDSOME I was. To all of which I smiled and nodded as I dove into my lamb thali AND PALAK PANEER.

As the tables around us started to fill and the noise of our section started to rise, the mumblings turned into screams and yelps that were acompanied by over exagerated facial expressions towards no one in particular.

Now, none of this behaviour bothers me, for I am known to act weird and abrasive at times for no particular reason. But I could clearly sense our neighbors eating were getting anxious for this woman to finish eating an leave.

When the previously mentioned street person got up to leave, a waft of air stirred up by her movement hit my olfactory organs. At first I was unable to discern what the smell was. As she got up to go she revealed that the back of her dress was covered in feces (or what I assumed was feces) it was then that brain made the connection.

This is when I started to think of friends and colleagues who had to deal with mental illness in some form or another. The pain and frustration of daily battles between reality and constructs of an ill brain, is something I don't think i would have the strength for. How could I cope? How could I go on ? If this was something I had to live with day in day out? And to think I cursed to myself eveytime she came to me begging for change ( I always thought she was a crackhead looking for her next hit).

The gentleman sitting two tables away made eye contact with me as if to say "FUCKING LOONIES!!!". My reply, of contemptuous stoicism put him in place.

at which point I got up and moved to another table to get away from the smell of shit.

To the management of DC United

So, I'm an asshole!!!

So, I harp on subjects that are not as important or relevant to conversations in play.
So, I don't say hello to the demolition guy who woke me from my beauty sleep with the crash boom blam of his backhoe type thingy.
So, I give the dump truck driver, who is parked on a street that doesn't allow trucks with a minimum capacity of 1 and a quarter ton, the stink eye.
So, I bitch and complain without giving real solutions.
So, I shit on people as much as possible. For no reason what so ever.
So, I'm a hypocrite and can't keep my stories straight.
So, I trip the light fantastic.
So, I find guilty pleasure from listening to American Idol in my sleep.
So, I watch you as you walk up my block after you just bought crack from the guy on the corner.
So, I watch you stumble home from a night of HEAVY DRINKING at the local bar/cafe and question (to myself) whether or not you belong in the front yard of the house you are entering. PS I am not your buddy.

Its not like you are any better than I. At least I'm attempting to find my own inner peace,
reality tv show, ultimate cheeseburger.

WHO CARES?

Phone is broken

Every time I pick it up it automatically dials a colleague. Thank goodness she is only in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Fricken goddamn phones!!!!!!

SO the band played Friday night in front of a room full of people. Over 90 infact....WE did alright, next were with the Hall Monitors, probably the best band in town. Mark your calenders April 28TH or 26th, I can't remember....

Felt WOnderful. Maybe indulged on a few too many beers. Night started at Polly's with Nif, a Smithwick (3 to be exact) and a meh burger.........We made our way to the Velvet, I was nervous as heck. Left Jenn as I paced and attempted to buy a fake mustache off a lesbian in search of some tail! She said the fake stache gave her the pull she needed to get some nookie. The lesbian didn't even stay for our set, well yeah!!! the thought of getting some pussy would do that to me as well!

Spent the day working the door for ROck and Romp, collecting $5 from each adult. Reminded me of my days at Peasants. Cept lOt less drunks. Plenty of stumbling, slurred speech and crying, just not done by the drunks.... Lemon Face, Middle Distance Runner and SOft Complex were the bands that played. Soft COmplex sounded right up my alley, I need to see them again soon.

Big Brother IS Listening

This is what domestic spying looks like. Apparently, the man (read FBI) has placed an unspecified number of sensors (read MICROPHONES) to listen for gun shots in WARD 7. In partnership with the MPD (read THE DC MAN) the FBI started this pilot program to help locate and identify crimes with shots fired. These sensors are so good that they are able to determine within a few feet where the gun shots were fired. The program is currently only in WARD 7 but there are plans for it to spread to WARD 5 and 6 with an eventual city wide deployment.

The program, though a little invasive, has successfully been used to apprehend real cold blooded killers, like Lankward Harrington, who murdered a lanscaper who was shot 4 times while high on PCP.














This is a visualization of the four gunshots Lankward Harrington fired into Jose Villatoro. Chilling....
Assholes like Lankward need to be shot or at least disemboweled while fully sober!!!!

Pics of my HOOD!

Welcome to my hood! Green arrows UP is always positive. Don't mind the gang war or stray bullets wizzing by your head.















This is the Carnegie Library in Mount Vernon Square, it is now sits empty and is used in-frequently for parties. Homeless and street people sleep out back on top of the air conditioning fans.

















This is AV, the italian restaurant, a mere block from my hizzy. It's awesome. The owner made millions by selling so that a greedy developer can build overpriced condos, and limited commercial space. BTW, did I mention my neighborhood is a historic district??????

Awesome!!!!

Jesus Fricking Christ on a Crutch

Whats with the idiots in this city?

Fenty what are you gonna do? I want to know what the city has planned and how you are gonna keep me and my loved ones safe.....

This shit is ridiculous..

Random Pics!

Music, Band, Fingering, Plucking, Bolophonics!!!!

IT'S TOUGH....

Like a second marriage or mistress.

The good news, the band that I left and then rejoined will be playing March 2nd at the Velvet Lounge. Not the ideal location, its so freaking dirty!!!!

So on my hiatus from the band, the remaining members recorded enough material to release an EP. Since I did not participate in the recording I have resigned to just being the bass player. Which is fine with me, the first time around I got tired giving my opinion and being told in a passive aggressive way that my idea of what makes good music was wrong. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bass player is the loneliest of all band members, not as cool or as big of a glory hound as the front man or inclined as the drummer. We bass players just pluck and finger rhythmically. Pluck and finger, finger and pluck. Oh life is difficult!!!!

Maybe its this loneliness that leads to the bass player acting out!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!????????

So anyway, we will be playing with J Forte and his secret pop band
YIPPPPPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!


Anyway come out March 2nd to see the band that i am playing with again .

Myt!

Thank goodness for Connecticut, California, Nevada and Bermuda! We need a break from the fuckin' violence. We gotta get our heads together, see family and rest.

Bought a new camera. Not sure of all the bells and whistles. Looking for ease of use and certain uptodateness that our 'old' kodak could no longer provide.

Hopefully I can successfully upload the photos without the need of silly Canon software. Simplicity.

Talk about 21st century... I uploaded a full length movie onto the Nif's DELLPOD.







Sweet, the future!!

Change that dress girlfriend, ya look preggers!!

Is she?

UM Yeah Paranoia CHA CHA CHA!

Taken from one of the message boards I frequent:

your nutbar has been made, keep him away, tell him to stop calling friends, family, etcetera.

funny how with al your background checks, drug tests, personality profiles, that you people seem to always hire nutjobs, psychopaths and traitors. that's just the kind of folks your line of work attracts.

you have hacked the accounts from the pentagon and found nothing. run "global universal networkplace" and see who and what you are dealing with.

he told me he was working aarp and told others he was working for you and he told another he was working with the mossad.

wouldn't be surpirsed if he's got some opus dei too.

take a few deep breaths, oxygenate yourselves, and see if you can figure out that you are working at a disadvantage. P.Y.H.O.O.Y.A.

anyway, everyone who has been investigated by your issclown knows about it and you.

my number is 006, CS USNRC project GUN.

chain of command, fools. the protocols are still in effect. they did a great job.

Letter never sent to Moderator of Life in Mount Vernon Square Blog

Dear BIGBROTHER,

It's good to see that you are keeping up with the FULL NAMES ONLY crusade on the Life in Mount Vernon Square BLOG.

There are a couple of more posts that have been added that I wanted to bring to your attention, that do not use FULL NAMES. Most recently someone using the name Cary (not a FULL NAME) posted regarding Roby Chavez. (ed. note has since been removed?)

Finally, I wanted to make sure that the money I gave to the MVSNA for membership dues is not funding a hypocritcal BIG BROTHER scheme. Even though the Life in Mount Vernon Square BLOG is a prominent feature of the Mount Vernon Square Neighborhood Association website, I just want to make sure I don't financially support a group that condones censorship or the use of double standards.

Your response is appreciated.

Thanks

Leroy Thorpe Kills Puppies

The Unamerican Race Rioter, LEROY THORPE, JR

Leroy Thorpe wants to incite a race riot if he is not elected ANC commish...........

Sadly at last night's ANC 2c meeting he also did not allow for the proceddings to be recorded or videoed. I say, maybe he should let someone else do the job, according to the linked audit ANC 2C has not done a very good job of keeping track of meeting minutes and money spent. This is of course according to the Office of the District of Columbia Auditor. Details.

Don't vote for Leroy Thorpe, he's better at cronyism, shouting down those who disagree, and being a BIGOT, than helping to further democracy in our own front yard.

Happy Birthday!! Check the IP, Alex!

Happy Birthday, sorry I missed your rip roaring bash at BC and then maybe DC9????

Anyway, I thought I would provide you with a picture of your lost love!!!

Anyone care for some theremin?

NinjaMonkey Head of the Class

I have enrolled in school after ten years out.

Majoring in business.

Unfortunately, not that many credits transfered, so I am taking mostly freshman courses right now.

I will be applying to grad school soon since I am at the head of the two classes I am currently taking. Though I have never taken a business course, it is all coming easy to me.

Its ridiculous how disinterested students are in the classes they are required to take. They are more interested in what is going to be on tests and not learning substance.

My Idea for a t-shirt!

"What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"

Gossip part deux

Sneaky leeky!!

What married rockstar is "messing around" with someone we all know???

Peter Tork maybe?????

THIS MADE ME GO HA HA!!

WORK SAFE, No Worries!!

Gossip!!

Why is gossip so much fun? Why do people feel the need to bestow guarded information onto others? Is it gossip if you blogged about it but did not reveal your sources and or victim?

Is it a sign of lonliness?
Is it a false show of power over someone?

What is worse?
Gossip about co-workers or gossip about friends and acquiantances?

NEW BLOG ENTRY!!!!@@@

Who is the jackass on the right!!!?????

NEW POSTING PLEASE FOLLOW THIS HYPERLINK

Open Coffee Shop Sham Marriages

Popped into the local coffee shop today and noticed that an acquintances husband was chatting with a female friend. Nothing to freak about. But then there was that intimate moment when lovers brush their hands across one anothers hand and a sparkle can be seen in the eyes. Never have I witnessed this in a platonic relationship. Was I spying? Maybe, but this was a very public display in a near empty coffee shop at 10:00 o'clock in the AM.

SO my question, is my acquiantance's marriage open or on the rocks, and furthermore when does an open marriage turn into a sham marriage? If it is a sham and she doesn't know, I feel for my acquiantance. But if it is a truly open marriage, then why can't I get play from her!!! HA!!!!

HA!

friend v. acquaintance

ac·quain·tance (-kwntns)n.
Knowledge of a person acquired by a relationship less intimate than friendship.
A relationship based on such knowledge: struck up an acquaintance with our new neighbor.
A person whom one knows.
Knowledge or information about something or someone: has a passing acquaintance with Chinese history.


friend (frnd)n.
A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
A person whom one knows; an acquaintance.
A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement: friends of the clean air movement.
Friend A member of the Society of Friends; a Quaker.

Just because I have shared libations with or attended a couple of parties with people does not mean I am their friend. An acquaintance is a perfect way to classify a relationship between two people who rarely see each, chat ocasionally online and never talk offline in the real world. What's so wrong with the title of acquintance. It's a lot better than THAT CUNT BITCH!!

Jesus Christ people, are we no longer allowed to use a three syllable word to describe a relationship?

Yeah I have a My Space page for my "music" project!
not rockzilla but close.....

Mighty Attends a Rally

Little did you know, but Mighty is all for fighting for the little person, the downtrodden, the spit upon, those who's rights are dangled above them like a giant catnip filled cat toy...

All I have to say is FIGHT THE POWER..... Tru dat Chuck!!!!!

Mighty's 7th Grade class picture found..

I swear, every time the politicos stood to applaud Bush, I heard them chanting "Jerry Jerry Jerry!"

Saturday January 28th or as i like to call it DEERHOOF Saturday

Holy moly.

So Thursday or Wednesday or someday, Debbie emailed me to let me know that she signed her kid (Jack) up to attend the filming of a Pancake Moutain session, and she wanted me to join them as Uncle Mighty! The best part is that DEERHOOF was to be the rock group featured. I had planned on seeing them Saturday evening at the Black Cat, but could not pass the opportunity to dance like a wacky guy for a kiddy dance tv show!!

SO I threw on my silver dancing shoes, donned my green jacket and wrapped myself in an orange scarf and ran down to the Warehouse Next Door....... Not only was I greeted by millions of little children and their yuppy rents, but a mulitude DC hipsters fucks as well. The two Ians were representing. You know the types, they go to shows just to be seen and not hear the music.Ms. Garnet you know who you are!!!...But need I digress?????



















So Deerhoof played the rock, I danced amongst scores of preteen kids and all was happy. BESTEST of all they played my favorite song, not once but threee times on Saturday, Gore In Rut or as all the kids called it the Bunny Song. Twice it was played during the filming then once as part of their encore at the Adult only performance at the Black Cat. Awesome awesome awesome.
My oh my Deerhoof Saturday was great.

be afraid

1103 5th Street Drug market open for business, I AM LOVING IT!

isn't it ironic that there is a police station acrossthe street form 1103 5th Street.
The happenings of this evening:
Came home around 12:00 to find a dark african americangoing through the the back of someone's white pick uptruck. I imediately called 311 to report a suspiscouscharacter. As I was on the phone he propostioned mywife for a blow job claiming he was "just a homeless guy looking for a place to sleep and get some". I have seen this gentleman in the neighborhood many times coming and going from the 1103 5th street house. and needless to say he was high as a kite. You will be able to recognize this gentleman by hisvery distinct high cheek bones,and almost square face. When he noticed I was on the phone he casually walkeddown 5th, across New York to L street, i m sure to go get his BLOW JOB.

I AM LOVING IT.

With in 3 minutes of the 'cheek bone avenger' leavingI witnessed a dark green toyota camry (mid to late90's) drop someone off at 1103 to pick up some of the"good stuff". The Dark green camry was kind enough topark on the corner before the alley as he waited forhis buddy. Lucky for me, he was kind enough to stayaround long enough so I could get his plate.
Maryland MNM 322. Sure enough his buddy popped out of1103 within minutes.
He was even kind enough to say"Good Evening"

I AM LOVING THIS, THE TWEAKERS AND THE JUNKIES ARE SO FRIENDLY.

Again, to recap a Dark Green Toyota Camry, Maryland plates MNM 322.
Look for it and be sure to say HELLO!
Second night in a row that I have had to call the POLICE.
They love me.
Can't wait to get my frequent flyer card from the DC Police!!

Christmas Crazy!!

I actually use the term Holiday.. So maybe I should change the title of this entry to Holiday Hoopla.


Was in Target the other day, who did I see staring at me from the toy box, but Idle Hands kid.

Yeah super model 5 year old. I am guessing he will get what ever he wants for xmas this year! And of course I am sure he will use the money to build his own planet! With the help of a talking t0ol bench anything is possible.

Happy Thanksgiving

Foreboding!












Xmas in DC
Jill's Belly!!!

The world's ugliest sweater

Good Morning!! In the mood to go deer hunting? Well do I have a treat for you. I was lucky enough to walk out of the house with out letting my lovely bride notice that I wore the world's ugliest sweater.

Origins: Unknown

Was it a present, a thrift store find, who knows? A gift from the heavens probably. I usually only get out of the house wearing this maybe once a season.








Dad was right, we are nothing more than trailer trash, who happen to have a gas station named after them.











Believe it or not, we smell of deer urine!
