how to procrastinate

i am completely unfocused right now - which is ironic, because i just did bikram yoga this morning and it's supposed to help you concentrate.

so here's a posting full of nonsense.

the penultimate scene in this week's "arrested development", where george michael flies in on a jetpak near tobias who is dressed like a godzilla-like mole as he accidentally destroys a tiny town in front of japanese investors, was one of the funniest things i have ever seen - and i've watched it three times already. hell, it was funny just to write it. if you're not on board with the show, you really need to be. they just released season #2. catch up.

if you didn't vote yesterday, you're still allowed to complain about the country, but you need to understand that since you did nothing about it when it mattered, your arguments hold less weight than someone who did. like me.

it's taken over a year for the good meaning people of the great state of california to realize that electing a bodybuilder/ action hero as governor might have been a bad idea. which reminds me of a great t-shirt i saw that read "don't blame me. i voted for gary coleman". i voted for the porn star.

okay, i didn't vote for her. but at least i made it to the polls that day.

the new rolling stones album is seriously good. it's more bluesy than what they've done recently - and that's a great thing. and it's a far departure from "bridges to babylon", which i also enjoyed but felt more like a dust brothers produced album than something from mick, keith, ron and charlie. this sounds more like "sticky fingers", which i think is their best (and not "exile on main street", which is universally acclaimed as their "abbey road"). but i digress.

now that the heavyweight champion of the world has retired from boxing with a torn ACL, can i claim that i am tougher than him? i mean, i only retired from competitive basketball after my first ACL. i still played - badly and whitely. i didn't retire for good after ACL #2. i don't think i'll see vitali klitschko boxing for fun anytime soon. so yeah, i am tougher. that's how i roll.

john stewart said that "terrell owens was suspended from the philadelphia eagles basically for being a dick." who said there's no truth and humor in blunt honesty?

2 thumbs and 2 toe thumbs up for A. D. of course. Great show but I'm worried they're going to have to out Tobias and then where do they go? Where.. do.. they.. go?
Which reminds me, during the recall I felt the voting duty to bring a non-voter and I found Milt was registered so I dragged him, semi-kicking and screaming, which I guess I everyday walking for him, to the firehouse near school and after I told him what this was all about, he voted for Schwarzenegger anyway! WTF. I can argue, I just can't convince apparently.
And if you ever look up Arnie in Who's Who, my dad's right above him, Wolfgang Schwarz, how cool is that!
And SUNY Stoneybrook? Really? They have a good conservatory apparently. How are you on the harpsichord SteveO?

It's Jon, not John. How do you think Cherr would feel? Or Madona? Or Bonoo? Maybe you should watch the show more...
