CNN has removed all “tapping” references. Thanks for the laugh

Even though the summer may be ending the concert season is picking up. At the beginning of this year I set out to go to as many good shows as possible. With the exception of the big music festivals (Coachella, Rock the Bells)…so far so good.

• Wu Tang @ HOB
• KRS One @ The Roxy
• GZA Performing Liquid Swords @ The El Rey
• Kanye Glow in the Dark @ Nokia
  
• Chris Rock No Apologies Tour @ Gibson
  
• Radiohead @ Hollywood Bowl
• Vampire Weekend @ The Wiltern (9/17/08)
• Kings of Leon @ Nokia (10/15/08)
• Method Man and Redman @ House of Blues (11/11/08)

Vampire Weekend will be a lot of fun but having to follow Radiohead will tough. I expect at least half of the lasers…or at least twice the vampires. 2nd row for KOL is pretty damn sick. And Mef and Red…that’ll be a merry ol blunted time. Wu-Tang (Big up, D, mozel-tang)!

1. Radiohead @ the Hollywood Bowl was by far the best concert I have ever been to…for many reasons.
2. The DNC was inspiring. The Democrats are poised and ready to fight. Obama isn’t just a terrific speaker, he is a true leader.
3. Tattoo #9 is fully healed. No more swelling or scabbing…w00t.
4. I am such a 7331 h4×0r I should work for Diebold.
5. AND HE WAS RAISED…by a pack of wolves!

Like anyone from my generation, I grew up with Saved by the Bell. It’s a campy Sat morning sitcom that never really took itself all that serious, although it did sometimes try to beat you over the head with its public service message. I wonder how many members of the cast were actually high when Johnny Dakota showed up at Bayside? But that’s besides my point. So what is the point? Hold on…I’m getting there.

Zack Morris is the world’s biggest douche bag!

The last couple of mornings I have been waking up early and catching Saved by the Bell on TBS (hey, we all need a reason to get up early). It has now occurred to me that Zack is such a piece of shit he gives douche bags a bad name. Even Criss Angel would call Zack a douche before pulling an apple out of a bag and cutting his own tongue with a razor blade.

In only 2 episodes: Zack cons his friends out of money, willfully purchases cheap class rings so he can make a quick buck, sabotages his closest friends chances of writing a new school song and unsuccessfully tries to rig a cooking competition.

I don’t really care that Zack is a cheater. Zack Morris is a super douche because he is cheating and hurting his friends. He will throw anyone, and more often than not, his best friend, Screech, under the bus. He will stab you in the back and convince you to buy the knife. Zack has no loyalty and is a terrible, terrible role model. But for some reason, our generation loved Zack Morris. Zack was so loved the producers decided to give him 1590 on his SATs even though he didn’t prepare at all for the test.

With each episode I now watch, I despise Zack more and more. Even George Bush doesn’t throw his close friends into the fire like this. Zack is making croneyism look like loyality. But I guess this makes sense. America loves to idolize a monolithic douche and that is why we are now stuck with Spencer Pratt.

I inadvertently took an entire week off of blogging. Actually, it was 8 days. I didn’t really mean to, but with the amount of work I had last week I didn’t have anything better to post than the pics of the greatest tattoo.

Some of what we missed while I was gone:

• Hillary Clinton is still running for president
• Al Gore apparently owns the Carbon Offsetting Scam Companies
• Both Brenda and Kelly are guest staring on 90210
• Janero Pargo signed a contract to play for Moscow. Earl Boykins signed with Italy and Josh Childress signed with Greece.
• Michael Phelps can’t swim.
• The Chinese spent 300 million on the opening ceremonies.
• The Chinese Basketball team looks a lot like the Spanish team. After seeing that pic, I can’t tell them apart.
• Bristol Farms is the spot, yo.

This morning I was linked to John McCain’s website via digg.com. I was amazed by the poor grammar and shitty sentence structure throughout the entire site.

This was taken directly from McCain’s site. On his page about the issues, this is what McCain has to say about Education.

“Excellence, choice, and competition in American education.”

I don’t know about you but I have a major problem with the first sentence. It’s missing the phuking VERB! Holy phuk, old dude. Who is writing and proof reading your website? Apparently it’s the kid in the back using a crayon and holding it with his entire fist.

I am tired of this retarded president shtick. Perhaps McSame shouldn’t hate the bloggers so much. Maybe if he hired some bloggers or writers his campaign website wouldn’t read like translated Chinese postcards.

Being an old, evil, rich, white, war profiteer wasn’t enough…they had to add incomprehensibly stupid to the status quo.

1. Tattoo #9. Swag from The Tattoo Lounge seriously “threw down.”
2. Going to bed early, getting up hella early!
3. I finished watching the King of Kong. Billy Mitchell is a liar and a cheater. Mr. Awesome, is…well…awesome.
4. Rock the Bells received a raving review from the LA Times.
5. Redeem Team rolled over China 101 - 70. D Wade was 7 - 7 and 5 - 5 from the line.
