Mark Olmsted Is My Idol

Mark's commentary on DADT and the mess that John McCain has become, is so spot-on, I can't stand it (link below). Like SB, Mark does not beat around the bush. I can't tell you how much I admire him. The reasons are pretty obvious. PLEASE READ (and Mark would appreciate your comments over at Huff Post).

A Tie-In Quote of the Damn Day: Kurt Vonnegut

Bill Gates says, ''Wait till you can see what your computer can become.'' But it’s you who should be doing the becoming, not the damn fool computer.

I automatically thought of this quote of Vonnegut's when I read the Foster Wallace quote below. As far as I am concerned, both men possessed two of the finest, most-humane minds that I've ever had the pleasure to encounter. This, despite the fact, that Mr. Bret Easton Ellis so seems to devalue and abhor their "Mid-Western faux-sentimentality."

Fuck you, Mr. Easton Ellis.

Quote of the Damn Day: David Foster Wallace

So I think it's got something to do with, that we're just---we're absolutely dying to give ourselves away to something. To run, to escape, somehow. . . . And so TV is like candy in that it's more pleasurable and easier than the real food. But it also doesn't have any of the nourishment of real food. . . . What has happened to us, that I'm now willing--and I do this too--that I'm willing to derive enormous amounts of my sense of community and awareness of other people, from television? But I'm not willing to undergo the stress and awkwardness and potential shit of dealing with real people.


And that as the Internet grows, and as our ability to be linked up, like--I mean, you and I coulda done this through e-mail, and I never woulda had to meet you, and that woulda been easier for me. Right? Like, at a certain point, we're gonna have to build some machinery, inside our guts, to help us deal with this. Because the technology's just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it's gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable, to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do not love us but want our money. Which is all right. In low doses, right? But if that's the basic main staple of your diet, you're gonna die. In a meaningful way, you're gonna die.

SB was having some of these same thoughts while waiting in the doctor's office yesterday, watching how many people were texting or talking on their cell phones, in their own worlds. Quite frankly, it made me feel sort of sick and creeped out.

Quote of the Day: Tom Green

The victims aren't really victimized in a way that it comes off totally mean-spirited or negative, ... It's a fun, fun victimization, if that's possible.

[Tom Green and Eddie Izzard are SB's favorite comedians.]

I know I sure as fuck don't.

If I had kids, I'd buy the little bastards this, but then I don't care about children either.

We've Already Established that I'm Immature

Uhhhmmmm, Okay

I don't know about you all, but I'd buy this shit for 25 cents at a garage sale just to figure out what the fuck was going on here. Call me curious!

[Actually, I'd try and bargain a bitch down to 10 cents for this shit and only go up to a quarter if I HAD to.]

Maybe this Wonk-Eyed Bitch Can Borrow Some Glasses Instead

Buy Cody's album, so a bitch can afford a shirt with sleeves for the follow-up to this smash!

Shit SB Says

Poetry, with very few exceptions, bores the living shit out of me. Most people are just so bad at it. I used to write it, but now even my own stuff puts me to sleep. I once participated in a poetry reading and, of course, I loved that. I have this theory that all writers are dickless frustrated actors.

One of the Funniest Things I've Read in Awhile

Especially if you have dogs. Check that shit out, motherfuckers!

A Pair of Confident Bitches

If these two fug hos can manage to be confident, what's your damn excuse? This is for all you bitches with low self esteem. Suck it up!

Shit SB E-mails Her Idol, Ms. Moon

Sorry you had those sorts of dreams. They really fuck with your rest. I had weirdo dreams again last night, and then to boot, I woke up at about 5:00 and couldn't go back to sleep (I get up around 6:30 normally). I should have just gotten up, but when it's cold out, I like my beddy. I lay there and thought about how, if I am lucky(?), I have 20 more years or so left, and then I started thinking how quickly the last 20 went, and I got VERY FRIGHTENED of DEATH. So that shit was productive, right?

I have my follow-up appt. with the urologist tomorrow at 4:00. So today, I am keeping my Bladder Diary [I shit you not.], recording how much I drink and when I piss and how much. I feel like a fucking geriatric. Jesus.

Shit SB Says

I'm all for gay marriage. Why should straight people be alone in their misery?

Shit SB Says to Her Darling Friend and Idol, Ms. Moon

The magnolias on the stairwell look swell! You are giving fucking Martha Stewart a run for her money, sister. I hate that bitch.

The Coolest University of Georgia Football Fan

We got Sam Jackson, motherfuckers. TOP THAT SHIT.
