Tattoos
So, I've been thinking about getting another tattoo, or as Nick calls them "dirty marks on your skin forever". When getting tattooed you must choose wisely because it's pretty much permanent. I mean now they have tattoo removal, but it usually just blurs what was once your tattoo into a smudgy-shit-smear.
I was looking on the world wide web at tattoos and came across some really awful ones. Just thought I'd share.
*The last one was a woman who tattooed this online casino's web address on her forehead for $15,000. What a good idea.

Grocery Shopping
Just down Broadway and a left on Manhattan, lies the Food Bazaar. Nestled between the projects and the JMZ subway line like a genital wart tucked snugly between two labia, the Food Bazaar is the primary grocer serving the residents off the Flushing stop.
I can't even describe this place and pictures don't do it justice, but I felt the need to share. Misery loves company, I guess.
The smell when shopping here is always different though always stale. The rotten and/or soggy produce is consistently rotten and/or soggy. The lines are long and there is absolutely no order in which things are shelved. All and all it makes for an awful shopping trip, one you try to hold your breath through while moving as fast as possible.
Watch your step!
What does Goya have on sale this week?!
Rotten peanuts! I'll take a pound!
Fun around every corner!
Here at Food Bazaar the slogan reads, "Getting Better Than Yesterday!", this is, in fact, not true.
This is where I always hold my breath.
Look out! More locals.
There's always something new to discover at the Food Bazaar.
This gentleman was looking mighty fierce in his grey mesh tee.
The best part is at the end of this horrible experience, after your enthusiastic checkout service, they expect a tip.
Oh, who would have thought that something as simple as grocery shopping could be so... not fun?
I guess I'll have to do my shopping in Manhattan, not ON Manhattan.
No, thank you food bazaar.

blog post number eight.
In response to Nick's blog I decided to make a donation, mainly out of boredom, but whatever. I donated my ten bucks to chihuahuarescue.com. Hopefully this money goes to feeding a little starving/abandonded chihuahua or at least to fixing their shitty website.
I am a better person... and still bored.

I killed the teen dream, deal with it.
Today MTV was at my salon filming their show "Made". For those of you who don't know, Made is a show where they take some total loser and make them into whatever they want, be it a cheerleader or a rock star. Well, today's episode they were transforming this "academic" (to put it nicely) girl (with a large mannish head) into a "beauty queen". I'm pretty sure after she was all gussied up they popped her into a prom dress and she probably won the Miss American Pageant all through the magic of television. Which brings me to the TV, which was on when I got home. What were the options of the evening? Teen Choice Awards and some reality show where the contestants win a spot in High School Musical. Sigh. What is going on? What is happening to teenagers? I know I'm not that old, really, but I feel like the new fad is to be totally into yourself. To be a bronzed whore. Everywhere. All the girls, and guys, look like plastic teen porn. It creeps me out a little. The "academic" (newly transformed) man-faced-mini-whore was so happy with herself, after they'd finished with her, so full of confidence. She was finally teen porn. Dreams come true. I think she then was trying to hit on me. She kept staring at me, giving me her newly painted-on bedroom eyes.
I don't know what the point of this is. I just feel like in the 90s we weren't so self absorbed. Grunge was cool. Not bronzer.
I'm just saying.
Oh, Grandma..
My dear grandmother sent me this "eye-opening" email. Just thought I'd share.
Here it is.
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back.
These events are actual events from history..
They really happened!!!
Do you remember?
1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists between the of 17 and 40.
12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it-- Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people... Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
According to The Book of Revelations:
The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.
And Now:
For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United states of America ... A Muslim Male Extremist Between the ages of 17 and 48.
Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???
I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama...
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.
