Aloha Dump

This guy really did a great job with this song. Halfway through he plays the video backwards so you can hear what song he sang. See if you can figure it out.

Well, the glitter of commercialism has all but left us this year, and as I stand around looking at the recycle bin overflowing with cardboard and paper, I am glad that I won't have to hear non-stop Christmas songs anymore where I work. I could put up with it a little better I suppose if they didn't start playing the day after Thanksgiving. I work 2 retail jobs (at the moment) so I get it all day everyday. But at least I was home for the holidays instead of punching holes in the ocean or standing topside on a submarine freezing my ass off. No amount of holiday commercialism or family drama can ever compare to the last 20 years of missing the special events in family life. I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year and to thank all of you for dropping by all these years. I am sorry I don't have the time to visit all of your sites anymore to post but I do occasionally drop by for a read. And for the love of God, I am so happy I don't have to read "Mele Kalikimaka...

You know the old saying, "So many assholes, so little time"? If you just wait long enough they eventually get theirs. It took a while but Saddam finally got what he deserved. Rosie was snuffed out. The list is long but distinguished and my fingers would get numb listing all the assholes who get the message from the people on the streets that they are fed up. Hugo Chavez lost the votes needed to (basically) change the Venezuelan constitution, and because of some much needed political reform, will not be able to run in 2012. He tried to play it off, like most losers do (despite the rioting and horn honking in the streets) , and I'm surprised he didn't pull a Kerry and drag out the recount process. It was a slim victory - 51 to 49%. But still, a victory is a victory and the people of Venezuela deserve better than an OPEC shyster trying to gain unlimited power. The Venezuelans dodged a bullet today, a bullet that needs to go north a bit to Cuba. The only thing left for ...

I thought this was cleverly written and in my laziness decided to post it instead of something original. Who has time to think anymore??? Twas the month before Christmas When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand. Why the PC Police had taken away, The reason for Christmas - no one could say. The children were told by their schools not to sing, About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say December 25th is just a ' Holiday '. Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it! CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod Something was changing, something quite odd! Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda. As Targets were hanging their trees upside down At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found. At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears You wo...

I have blogged about Duane "Dog" Chapman for some time now. Dog works and lives in Hawaii, when he is not running down to Mexico to round up drug dealing rapists, but it seems the island paradise can't quell an occasional eruption of stupidity. Dog has apologized for using the "N" word in a private conversation with his jackass son, Tucker Chapman (who you never see on his show), who was also taping the conversation with his father. I think Tucker was in jail or out on parole? A real upstanding kid. So after getting busted using the word nigger, Dog did what any prominent movie/television star does- found either Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton and began kissing his ass. But I guess it worked because now Dog has become mega-superhero culturally sensitive now and just really didn't know "what that word meant to black people". Huh? Well, I'm glad Brother Sharpton was able to set Dog straight on the use of the word nigger, especially since Sharpton ...

I have taken a serious hiatus from the political blogging, mainly because I have been extremely busy with the new move, new job, etc., but also because it is a pain in the ass to follow and comment on. My previous job allowed me the opportunity to research and write consistently because I was very a short timer and nobody expected me to participate in the Navy's daily bullshit. But I did visit some of my daily reads and find that there is still a lot of tension in Iran, Iraq, Afghani--- well, pretty much everywhere over there. And jack shit is being done about it. Still. Bush insists that a nuclear-armed Iran will lead to three-peat World War and, as much as he has bumbled things up through his last 2 terms, I am inclined to agree with my former boss on this issue. I wholeheartedly believe that Iran would (will?) use their nukes on Israel. Why wouldn't they? Ahmadinejad has made threats to do so in the past. He is not joking around when he tells the U.S. that he will retailiat...

A few months ago I posted a short blurb about my brother-in-law Michael who was in a serious car accident. To divulge the whole story is too emotional, especially since I have family that read my blog, but a condensed version must be told so that you can truly appreciate the gravity of the photos below. The short story is that Michael, his best friend and roommate, and their girlfriends were coming back home after a concert they attended. It was late (or early depending on how you look at it) and Michael was feeling tired so he asked his room mate to drive. Only 2 exits from home, the room mate fell asleep and the car veered off the road and slammed into a tree at about 70 mph. No drugs. No booze. He just fell asleep. The driver and Michael's girlfriend escaped with only minor injuries, Michael suffered a myriad of broken bones and serious head trauma, the other passenger died from her injuries that night. All in all, a pretty shitty night. Michael is recovering but the process is...

Apparently, I have an massage ' massage ' from a guy named George. Not one to be rude, and a big fan of the massage, I opened his email only to find out that he wants to give me 40% of $19.3M How are you today? Hope all is well,I know that this letter may come to you as a surprise, but you need not to worry as i use this way to contact you it is due to is only means i can reach you confidentially as a foreign to seek for for your assistance in this matter. Sounds like a nice guy to me. He went on to inform me that the people who the money belonged to died in a horrible plane accident. George has their unclaimed money in his bank and just needs someone to transfer it to in the United States. For my trouble I get to keep 40%. I don't know about you, but I was chomping at the bit to get started! For the success of this transaction, i will like you to apply to bank and act as the only existing NEXT-OF-KIN to the deceased which our bank will replace the deceased account informat...

Today was quite a day as I had my first encounter with the CA DMV. As a matter of policy, all newly registered out of state vehicles must have an inspection to verify the VIN. So, in the 50 degree rainy weather, I drove my bike (spoiled by Hawaii weather) about 20 miles to the local DMV. I have to say that despite the rain, this was the most comfortable ride I have had in a long time. I didn't get cutoff once- something that would infuriate me on Hawaii roads. I was surprised at the efficiency of this DMV, perhaps a fluke of nature, but my time was extended becasue the first inspector (key word, 'first') neglected to write down my engine number even though I pointed it out to her. In her defense, we were chit chatting a bit about the meaning of the word dork and how she thought it to mean the penis of a whale. SHe apologized for the comment after she said it but I told her I was an ex-submariner and that her comment was hardly worth apologize for. However she did jack up my...

I just now ate, in its entirety, an Arbys Bacon Beef 'n Cheddar sandwich. I emptied a packet of BBQ sauce and a packet of Horsey sauce onto the gooey cheese inside. I am having second thoughts about declining the take-home angioplasty kit as I am now phlegmy and coughing like the Playboy editors after reading the "I'm ready to show my tits for money now that my career is washed up. Have you seen Dana Plato around?" letter from Britney Spears. I expect a massive coronary within the hour. But damn, that thing was good. You're just one step away, Britney....

I get a lot of emails from my grandfather that deal with forwarded stories, most are the "Soup for the Soul" stuff and things I have to reply back to him that didn't really happen or that is an urban legend etc. But today I got something from him that was really cool, and unfortunately, you will never see on television. I thought it was an urban legend but it checked out- it is the sentencing of the shoe bomber- remember that asshat? He made a bomb in his show and was going to blow up an airplane in December of 2001. He got donkey punched by some passengers as he tried to light it. U.S. District Court Judge William Young did make the following statement during the sentencing of convicted "shoe bomber" Richard Reid in Boston on January 30, 2003.The judge's remarks followed a belligerent and unapologetic statement by Reid accusing the United States of sponsoring the torture of Muslims in Arab countries, "I'm an enemy of your country," he told th...

As elusive as a competent employee at Pearl Harbor Personnel Detachment, finding a job proves to be just as difficult in this new place I've settled down in as a newly retired Sailor. In short, the Sacramento area sucks yak balls. Well, at least for finding a job as a Training Specialist. I've resorted to pulling out the electronics resumes, although I swore I would never pursue it since I didn't particularly enjoy it while I was in the Navy. But, when you are squeezing the toothpaste tube with vice grips, digging for loose change for gas money, and shopping at the 99 cent store out of necessity then you gotta do what you gotta do. I don't know how you damn civilians do it. It is amazing how much I relied and took for granted my military paycheck, no matter how meager it was at times, to arrive on the 1st and 15th of every month. Ahh, the good old days! I can honestly say that I have never prayed harder and longer in my life and to give credit where it's due- things...
