mixing church and state....not a good thing

wow, a pretty powerful post title huh? so i am driving down the road this weekend and i had the windows down, feeling mellow and enjoying the day and i flip around on the radio and hear a song with a good beat, good guitar solos and i catch myself kind of jamming out when all of a sudden some D starts asking jesus to save him and how he has laid down his heart for the lord..
very commendable indeed.
let me first say im a catholic so this is not a christian bashing effort but it is indeed a christian rock bashing session. if you want to be saved call the coast guard or ski patrol...if you are looking for jesus in your life church is a good place to start. if you want to lay down your heart, become a priest, but please DONT pick up a guitar and GO THERE. there are three things that will forever be linked..they are sex, drugs and rock and roll...most of us achieve at least two of those in our lives..not a whole lot of wiggle room in there for arena based christian rock and virgins and all that is good and wholesome in this world (for which there is a lot!)
anyway, i was duped and felt pretty stupid..i had to look around because i was glad i was by myself at the time..to cleanse my brain of that goodness i broke out some Alice and Chains and cranked it up. "YEAH HERE COMES THE ROOOSTER"
i like my rock stars just as they are thank you. totally and utterly out of touch with reality and if not dead already they are working damn hard at getting there..anyone ever hear of Kurt Cobaine, Jimi Hendrix,Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia, the list goes on and on...people eat it up.

The Fall STALL

i am a Yankees fan and have been my whole life, this is the first year they will not make the playoffs since 93, i was a sophomore in high school. the real sting as a fan was the absolute raping of season ticket holders this year to finance a new stadium. next year the tickets will all be too pricey for the average or even well healed fans because no one wants to pay 1200 to sit in a seat that in other parts of the country go for 1/10 that, and those teams make the playoffs, without a 300 million dollar roster. why buy season tickets when you can just buy tickets to the good games you want to see? if the team is going to suck like they do, and the ownership is going to continue to act like they do i think you will see a retraction of the fan base in NYC and people are going to resent them for the bloodsuckers they are..not that i am have a real opinion about it!!!

i feel like this with the knicks too but they are so damn bad i wont even go to see them w free tickets. i did go a few years ago and was given court side seats so i heckled the shit out of cliff Robinson chanting "cliff the spliff" after he was pulled over with a lit blunt. he eventually came over over and said "your killing me dog, my team is making fun of me." i did my part that day and cliff , you will always hold a special place in my heart...and call me if your in NYC..its 1-800-OLE-STNK.

note to pro athletes, dont DRIVE. period. ever, dont drive, that goes for celebratards as well.

GO GMEN!!!!!

LAKE FEST

so as the world financial markets collapse around us we threw it down in a positive manner this weekend up in CT for the annual lakefest..the weather was right but the company was perfect and i wanted to thank SUPAGLISI for taking the photos linked below and to also say that i am thankful to have such a great group of friends who like to get together and well, lets just lay it out there, who like to get together and let it rip. i judge the success of a party by how many people are left straggling on floors and couches in the position that they were in right before they passsed out. when i woke up it looked like someone was playing the old "freeze frame" game...now i know why the people in Pompeii had such looks of surprise on their faces, they weren't ready either! oh, and i may need to change my stage name from ole stinky to REDMAN after seeing how sunburned/drunk/bright red i look in pictures. maybe that explains why people stop when i cross the street?? and all these days i thought it was because they were scared of the guns. that still doesnt explain the pointing and laughing though, something i will need to address in another post.
