sounding off

This off-season I was pretty stoked for the Mets signing of free-agent outeilder Carlos Beltran, even though i knew his numbers would slip a lil playing in Shea. Never in life would I have expected the type of player we got. His sub-par numbers (.268 BA 12HR 53RBI) are mediocre at best, and for player a people were expecting a 40/40 season from, he has 5 stolen bases this year. Watching him at the plate is the biggest joke of my life. It's to the point now I long for the days of a Jay Payton, or a Daryl Hamilton, or even a Butch Husky, please. The main reason Beltran loses me so much though is his utter dis-respect for hustle. Not running out fly balls or grounders, lack of concentration in the feild, are just parts of the reasons i wish the signing never took place. To think Victor Diaz is wasting away in the minors, trying to learn to play 1ST, for what, an overpayed bum to watch his pop-ups get dropped. All the trade talks about sending away Cameran, maybe we could send away Carlos. I know financially it wont work and I have a better chance of seeing John Olerud win rookie of the year, but i can dream right, hey im a Mets fan its all i got. All in All, i hope Beltran comes around so we can make a push at it this season, we're still another strong starter, couple releivers and a first/second baseman away, but I need to watch some blue and orange in October this season, Carlos, WAKE THE FUCK UP!

The cerebral pantheon, in a nutshell.

The following, unlike most everything else you will ever be told, is completely true. Really, if you sit and think about anything for long enough, expand on any one single concept, focus in on any given idea--you will eventually realize that whatever it is you had in mind is absolutely trivial, completely pointless, and horrifyingly absurd. Devoid of all meaning Do not do this. This is the opposite of living. This is inaction. Life is in action. Go now, you, the living. Live.

Responding to Senator Gillibrand, RE CISPA

Senator, This is the same flawed thinking which allowed for the Patriot Act, with it's robust capabilities to infringe upon civil rights, and it's pittance of terror related convictions. The bald faced truth is that for the foreseeable future no state or government will every sufficiently be able to defend against cyber attacks of any degree of sophistication, as evidenced by the repeated and incessant attacks perpetuated by groups both private and state-sponsored, by us, against us, etc. Citing danger as an excuse for infringing upon the rights and liberties of innocent and law-abiding citizens is never excusable, though it is done with an ever-increasing and frightening regularity. This is not as you say striking a balance, this is the eroding away via legislation of the basic rights of privacy otherwise afforded by the US Constitution. With all due respect, until those elected in to power realize it is not theirs to wield, but rather to shepherd, on behalf of those who...

34th Street

I am flying weightless, born again in this concrete cocoon. The water is all about me, and yet it lets me be, it sets me free I hear Gideon twirl, the guitars whirl to the beating of drums, underneath these streets I can feel the tunnel walls hum For the moment I am alone, I with me, in the company of the thoughts I keep, my own strobe-light symphony while the city sleeps. Beauties, your tales of Spain leave me in stitches. We are amazing, we were years overdue! Happiness, these waking dreams, find my worn out soul, scratch whatever itches. Seven am never felt so alive, the sun gives me a sly look as it opens it’s eyes. 34th street, positively.
