I love that john travoltas

I couldn't believe my own eyes when I saw that john travoltas in the redeye. This picture made me laugh for a good long while. I just think he's progressed in his plumpness in a linear fashion from saturday night fever to pulp fiction to Micheal(weird one where he has wings and dances, haven't seen it) to this new version of grease.

I've been hibernating again but these last few peaks of spring have shine the light in my eyes a bit. So in turn I've been walking around the square lately. Its good exercise and your sure to see some some strange everyday routines people follow. Like that old lady who sits in the park bench and watches the sunset. Or the kids who are always yelling and chasing each other on their low rider bikes. Can't forget the people who don't pick up their dogs doodoo, god bless them. Lets see I've had a dog for a while now and I forgot bags again, I'm a worthless dote and shouldn't be allowed outside. Today we walked to home depot to get some work done on the singles for "feels the same" which will be available at the show on thursday. Anyways I was walking the aisles and it felt just like that part in idiocacy at costco(must say kind of a dud of a movie). There was one employee in the megadome of the hardware section making keys. All I need was a "eye and hook" lock and nobody had any idea. So I took matters in my own hands, went to the lock section, and found what I needed. It kind of reminds me of when I go to kinkos to make flyers and the person helping me doesn't think I can convert 8 1/2 by 11 to 11 by 14. Point of story, sometimes you've got to learn things on your own.

Now that I have your attention or completely lost it depending on your attention span and amount of time allowed to look at the internets, I'd like to shamelessly promote darling's show this thursday, March 22nd at the Darkroom(2210 W. Chicago). Here's another poster and as usual there will be about 3 shirts for sale of the design(only in existence).

This is the news.

So I jumped on aol to read a few strange emails to my crazy old email account from when I was 16 or so. It is MXRebo9058 and I thought it up on the way to band class(old south campus LT before the new pool and segways.) in one of those terribly winding hallways that are extremely conducible to one-on-one fist fights. The name came from a mash of the max rebo band from jabas palace. Getting back to the point of this blog, I was about to sign into my ancient old aol account to get updates on metronews, sangria drink specials, and maybe an occasional stock update and I shit you not I the most interesting title: Iraqis Claim Capture of Top al-Qaida Leader
After this I saw the most bizarre set of pictures that were quote on qoute in sync with the story.

first photo:

the caption for this one reads: Iraqi army soldiers search drivers and motorists at a vehicle checkpoint in Baghdad on Friday. Don't forget the full body cavity check al la waynes world.

how about the next picture, things are sure to get more normal:


This is the best point. The reader has no idea how weird this picture could be. I must say I thought it was possibly some weird sport only played in Iraq. N0pe, sure enough there is a very strange caption for this pictuer: Amid relentless violence, Shiite pilgrims pour into Karbala Thursday to mark a religious holiday. This man had dirt on his face to signify grief. This definitely struck me as a weird situation going on. Whats with the dude with dirt on his face.

Do I even need to move on to the next picture in the series:
This isn't even any fun anymore. What the hell could this mean. Ninja possibly, one weird long phrase taped to mask definitely, gaze inappropriate. Here is what the caption actually read: The pilgrims are marking Arbain, the end of a 40-day mourning period since Ashura, which marks the death of Prophet Mohammad's grandson.
