The Munitor Munday

On 03.01.10, In My Thoughts, By Keen

I’m thinking that a great way to start off the week is by intelligently responding to dumb ass articles in the local newspaper.  Now this isn’t too hard because the “journalists” at the paper are lazy and perhaps cannot read the 1st Amendment in its entirety, but either way, this should be fun.

New study ranks McAllen area last in access to basic needs – This is because the public servants around here are stoned.  What’s funny is that normal, none government employees, are arrested everyday for what these bozos are doing.

Uninsured drivers plague Valley – I have an idea…if the shit wasn’t taxed out of us at the cash register with food, on our utility bills, on our properties, on our cigarettes, on our gasoline AND our insurance NOT to mention everything else, then maybe, just maybe we could afford insurance.

Tea Party could shake county’s one-party system – This is a hell of a dumb idea.  ”Tea Party?”  When was the last time tea was taxed beyond the market shelf???  If these walking dildos want something that’s going to shake people, make it THE WEED PARTY.  That would shake things up.  But no, that’s too “political” and might not resonate with the local grass-roots campaign, blah, blah, blah.

Al Gore is smart

On 03.01.10, In My Thoughts, By Keen

I have never hidden the fact that global warming is a myth.  If we are at fault, we’re part of this earth and the fact that we’re from the dust makes it all more compelling to say it is a natural phenomenon.

Reality is, climate changes is a very natural occurrence that has nothing to do with humans and more to do with other factors.  People are so up on themselves and think we’re more important and influential than to realize we’re simply at the bottom of the ocean and that’s our lot.

Anyway, this morning I read this piece of news:

Former Vice President Al Gore took aim at skeptics who doubt the reality of human-caused climate change, saying he wished it were an illusion but that the problem is real and urgent.

I’m going to make this very clear.  ”Global warming” is obviously on a global scale to these trumpets so it makes sense to say they want a Global Government to tackle the issue.  Global Government is not democratic.  Who is at this?  The ones in the front are the Clintons who use Gore to push this agenda.  The question is, who is behind the Clintons???

The bigger question is, who wants a global-government?  I don’t, we can’t even get it right in the States and we’re off spreading democracy all over other nations’ faces.

Shooting at Bar Rio – McAllen

On 02.26.10, In My Thoughts, By Keen

Apparently there’s been a shooting at a McAllen bar, Bar Rio on North 10th Street.  Read full article here.  Now this makes me wonder…what the hell are all the security cameras around McAllen for anyway?  It didn’t prevent crime, now did it Mr. McAllen???

The shooting took place on 10th Street and Nolana and that intersection has over 80,000 cars pass by it everyday, you can’t tell me they don’t have something on video.  But, did it PREVENT crime?

Such a busy intersection, where were the police?  Where they down the street eating at Shipley’s??  After all, McAllen is not as big as it puts off.  No one can tell me police did not have enough time to respond.

This reminds me of watching a “Married…with Children” episode where Officer Dan recovers Al Bundy’s “stolen” car and mentioned that someone’s getting robbed at gun point and he was going to take a nap under the freeway.

At least it wasn’t…..

On 02.23.10, In General, By Keen

I got some random stuff for you today.  First off, the vid is fan-made and is Joe Walsh’s “In the City” from the Warriors Soundtrack.  I like it and represents the pain and struggles of growing up in the hood.  You HEAR ME JOHN MAYER, let’s see that “hood-pass” of yours over here, homeboy! Get y’er friend, Eric, over here too – we’ll get him to groan the blues!

OHIO MAN BULLDOZES HOME TO KEEP IT FROM BANK – Now see, this is interesting.  Instead of taking out the IRS building in his home state, he simply demos his home.  You could argue that it’s a “If I can’t have it no one else can” mentality but I suppose it’s more of a reckoning.  That’s what will cause the Great American Civil War: the reckoning.

WALL STREET BONUSES UP 17% – “Wall Street is vital to New York’s economy, and the dollars generated by the industry help the state’s bottom line,” said DiNapoli. “But for most Americans, these huge bonuses are a bitter pill and hard to comprehend. … Taxpayers bailed them out, and now they’re back making money while many New York families are still struggling to make ends meet.”

Random Monday Stuff

On 02.22.10, In RGV Local, By Keen

So this past weekend I performed for a awesome crowed for the Food Bank RGV and Public Radio 88FM.  Hopefully someone took pictures.  Anyway, Monday sucks and so here’s a new set of links for your desperate ass today.  As for the vid: I thought because some of you don’t know the blues, I’d swap some with you.

DANI POWERS – Powers’ Underworld Boutique is now carrying a butt-ton of biker apparel. But this isn’t some commercial, after all, I don’t get paid for this shit. Either way, from what I read on myspace you can get body jewelry and piercings there. Click here for map.

SMOKIN’ ACES – The influential (and might I say swanky????) South Texas bar is currently looking for a waitress.  Must be hot or be able to fool the goers  as they drink you hot.  I personally don’t pay attention to the waitresses unless they literally take the form of a 12 oz. long-neck, then, I stammer something or the other.

REVOLUTION – I am not one to incite a war, but damn, I think the government is really biting at the last ankles before the people bite back.  I don’t care if you were caught after a fucking bloody rampage through the city, you’re in America homeboy and you deserve due-process. Click here to read on forced blood draws in Texas.  Just wait, some day soon some bad-ass is going to crash his plane through some IRS building in retaliation to big government.  Oh, wait.

REVOLUTION UPDATE – The US Government has had no problem exterminating US Citizens in the past as in the present.  As per slate.com.

Guitars guitars guitars, weee!

On 02.15.10, In My Thoughts, By Keen

Here’s a vid featuring a Vintage Fender Stratocaster and Fender amp purchased for $300 back in the early 60’s and is it’s now appraised value, well…just see the fucking video.  Nice, huh?

Makes me wonder about guitars in general.  Why purchase a guitar?  Is it to practice on or to gig with?  Is it commercial investment rather than a personal one?  There are those who purchase new guitars of all sorts of price points while others only purchase Made in USA vintage guitars and money is of no object.  What are your driving force at buying a guitar?
