Thoughts

Hmm. The busiest travel day of the year, huh. People are such idiots sometimes, too often flocking like ignorant herds of sheep. Everyone knows today is pretty much the worst day to travel, especially flying. Yet, they will still book their tickets for the day before Thanksgiving. I don't understand. Why not just wait until early the next morning to travel? You'll sure as shit beat the traffic!

No appropriate segue to this, but it had to be presented. Before leaving work today, I was shown the mug of one Tony Ferrari. He is one creepy-looking motherfucker. Clear your mind for a moment and take a look at his cranium! Probably exacerbated by his doctors dropping him post-birth upon seeing his freakish nature. If his looks aren't enough to scare you, check out the mission statement on the website:

We are the Children of the Multiprismed Light and
we are here for you.
We're so glad you found us.
We've been waiting a long time.
We can promise you a cleaner, clearer, and more blissful way of life. Forget your troubles and unload your material trappings on our doorstep to join a family of love and understanding.

As a group, we are working together to form a new, more enlightened, way of living as the dawn of the 3rd millennium is upon us. Join us and eventually unfold the centuries old unspoken truths of our ancestors and how we are descended from majesty. Learn where we are going and how our new lives together will guide your ultimate destiny!!!

Fuckin weirdos man. I bet it's some kind of cult and they're all dead by the end of the year. Mark my words, damn it!

Apple Vs. Apple: A Struggle

After two major repairs and a third in the hopper, Apple granted me a new replacement Macbook. It was not easy, however. It took a couple trips to the Apple store in SoHo and numerous arguments on the phone. My fights were well-warranted, considering the computer is less than 6 months old. The new computer is on its way, which explains sparse postings.

Speaking of Apples (nice transition, right?), Tuesday's release schedule includes Love, the new Beatles remix album sanctioned by the former members and estates. It's nice to hear some of these songs reinterpreted for a new audience. But for me it represents nothing more than a novelty record. This, however, won't stop it from hitting the top of the charts. Mark my words, it will be in the top 10 next week.

Axl and Crew Ditch

And what else is new? Honestly. This time, the cause was an argument over state law in Maine forbidding alcoholic consumption on stage. Seems like the excuses for this band not to play always seem to be mounting. Kind of like the supposed release of Chinese Democracy.

Axl and company reportedly wanted to drink beer and wine during the performance. On Tuesday, the day after the canceled show, Axl himself posted a message online that reads, "I would like to apologize to all of the fans in Maine for the show not happening last night. It was important for us to play there and it is a shame that what should have been a great night for all of us was not possible due to the actions of two people [the fire marshals]. I agree with, and ultimately take responsibility for, the end decision not to jeopardize the safety of the fans, the crews, the bands and myself as a result of the methods of these particularly draconian authorities."

I don't know Axl, somehow I feel the fans won't forgive you for this one. Contrary to what you said, however, a great night was not possible because you always have some sort of problem with performing. Get over yourself already.
