Something I can't believe!


I CAN'T BELIEVE:
Alex Jones has a radio show.
If you never heard of Al Jones then you might be surprised when you stumble across his philosophy. I used to hear him on obscure shortwave frequencies but now he is on regular AM stations. He has a few websites which you can find if you look for them. I'll not name them because i don't want to lend and credence to his causes. I was surprised to learn his age to be only 34. His voice is extremely rough and to listen to him on the radio he sounds like an elderly man who has smoked most of his life. I have heard him many times on the radio spewing his anti-america rants like a an out of control child who doesn't want to eat his greens or go to bed at bed time. Among the many accusations he throws out are allegations that the President has gay prostitutes that come to the White House, that our Government is building concentration camps for u.s. citizens to be shipped off to in the near future, any wack conspiracy you can think of and ones you could never imagine. Plus the old standby conspiracies of the Freemasons and the Illuminati (Whoever they are) that they are gonna take over the world and kill 80% of the WORLD'S population. For what I am never sure, he is never clear on that.
He also makes little movies using various archived pieces of footage of calamities around the world which i guess is supposed to be a scare tactic. He also has gone to certain events and political meetings and tried to "cover" them as if he were a reporter and when Security tries to shoo him away he makes sure to film it and purport it to be harassment and an obstruction of his First Amendment Rights. He gets arrested or detained on purpose to beef up his conspiracy claims, in my opinion. Its all classic 60's hippie stuff repackaged for our time. I cant figure out his motives other than relevance. Like some sort of massive need to be relevant and accepted... maybe he craves noteriety.
I guess he makes some cash on movies or through supporters. It seems if he was so upset that our nation is in the toilet he would run for office and change things. I read that he did run for a local seat but that he dropped out. I guess it takes all kinds to make up the Internet but old Al crosses the line in my opinion. Sorry to get so political here, but I CANT BELIEVE this guy. What is it with guys named Al??

The Learning Begins

After re-learning the basics I had to set about catching up with the rest of society. The most difficult thing for me to grasp was the Internet. The concept of the Web took some getting used to but once i learned how to use it i began to catch up on so much of what i had missed in the last 15 years. Where to begin? Porn sure has come a long way. In fact its almost hard to avoid on the Net. Its like a huge Cyber-stalker. There is all kinds of it too. Freaky weird and most likely illegal porn! And Professional Wrestling has become way too popular in my opinion. Everyone seems to have a tiny phone with them wherever they go and most of them are talking on it. Standing in line, while driving, while eating... who is everyone talking to?? Seems to me i remeber having cell phones back in the day but they werent nearly as plentiful. And we called them walkie-talkies. SOme people had car phones but they were called CB Radios.

The Information Superhighway is pretty neat. My hat is off to the guy who invented it... a man named Al Gore, i heard. He actually was a vice president and they say he also ran for President of the whole U.S.A. But he lost to the Governor of Texas and got so angry about it he quit politics all together. That's what my friend told me. Turns out though, since he had so much time off he did some research and found out that the whole Earth is going to explode! It seems, according to this Gore fellow, that the North Pole has melted driving polar bears out to sea on iceberg chunks only to make landfall in certain areas and eat the locals because the get so hungry floating on the open ocean. Not only this but it seems the temperature of Mother Earth is very high now and some countries are likely to burn up in Hell-like fires. And I don't know how he did it, but he narrowed down the causes of all this to a few key factors those being mostly anybody who voted against him and people in general who lean Republican. But politics aside he says if we all get rid of our pick-up trucks and four wheel-drive vehicles the planet will be OK again. Plus we need to stop using diapers on our babies. Thank God for that Al Gore... without him we'd all be doomed.

Just woke up

Its going to be a therapeutic exercise I am told, this "Blogging". I recently woke up from a coma after an accident down Texas way some years ago. You see in southeast Texas I have kin and one of the things that my cousins (whom we affectionately refer to as the Country Slaghooples) love to do is play this game. Now i don't recall the name of the game nor do i remember the object or even the purpose of the game but i do remember how it's played.

First you go out and pick the biggest watermelon you can find. Now it has to be ripe or else the game is no fun at all. The next game piece is a raw egg. It cant be hard boiled (Mason Slaghoople III one of me cousins switched out the game egg once with a "hardie". That was back in '88. he was banned from play for 3 years after.) Then you get two bed sheets. The amount of people that will be playing will determine the sheet sizes (although every match i have watched its always a big bunch of folks so its almost always king size sheets). The cousins number off from one to whatever and its the evens against the odds. Each team takes up a sheet and the grip the edges kind of like making a safety net you would catch people in if they jumped out of a burning building. The referee blows a whistle and tosses the huge fruit into the center of one sheet and the raw egg in the other team's sheet. Each team basically plays Hot Potato launching one item whilst catching the incoming item. three broken eggs or a fractured melon and the offending team loses. I have seen matches last one toss then i have seen matches last for hours. Its no joke down East Texas way.

Anyways back in '90 i was rooting on the gang as they played and a freak melon toss landed squarely on my head before i could move out of the way. The watermelon lodged on my head and i was wearing this thing like its a full faced motor bike helmet. Well my last memories that day were seeing a flash of red with tiny black seeds.
I woke up15 years later into a world I was not ready for. And now I am learning and re-learning nearly everything. True story. I am Blogging these experiences as a record for whoever wants to take the time to listen. Or read.
