Hurricane Stevens

I have a friend named Brad Stevens (www.dolobot.blogspot.com), and he is a writer. Sure, as you can read, he is damn good, but his blogger is not more important than Hurricane Katrina.

He just started his blogger like yesterday, and he wants to garner all the attention he can. Well I say he is being very jerk-like. In this time of a national crisis, Mr. Stevens wants us to read his blogger. He says it will make us laugh. Well I didn't laugh when I was picking up families on roof tops yesterday from a Navy chopper. "HELP US", and "WILL DIE SOON" signs plastered the land below as I swooped down to rescue people. I did not see signs that said, "READ THE NEW BLOG BY BRAD STEVENS!" Not one of them.

Like me, Brad is unemployed at the moment, but that extra time is not steering him towards the destruction in the bayou. No siree. He isn't helping us at all with his blogger. Mr. Stevens wants us to read about Burger King (formerly Burger Chef, may he rest in peace) and the new chicken fries. As he checks out with his meal from Burger King, I was checking out of Jimmy Gumbo's Super SaveOn with water for the thirsty children nearby. I was in New Orleans helping people. I even took a shotgun hole to my right leg when somebody thought I had sweet potato pie in my hands. I showed the man he had it all wrong. It was a frisbee that I had found floating in the water. He apologized by tossing the frisbee with me for an hour, followed by looting me. He was a great swimmer.

As the network news programs continue to count cadavers, Brad will keep writing for his blogger. Each week we will get great updates of how people chipped in and helped rebuild a city torn, while Brad writes about gummy bears and Burger King (formerly Burger Chef, may the Chef rest in peace) ...In times likes these Stevens. In times like these.

hi, and TV talk

I will update this more often.

hello.

I still need to get my camera developed to show you the few pictures that I have from South Korea. I still have 15 pictures left to use. I know, I know. Who cares about the 15 damn pictures ...get them developed! Maybe I am not so ready to look at the South Korea pictures. Did I tell you about the trip? It was awesome. I would do it again if I felt like being a basket case for the rest of my days.

The term "basket case." Oh where does it originate? I suspect it comes from the dead, of course. They used to take people away in baskets when they died ...not caskets. It would be better if it had something to do with shrimp baskets at Red Robin, or wicker. Like me being super wicker white! Casey is a basket case. No?

Stemming from the S.K. incident, I have been getting emails from family I have not heard from in awhile. It is nice to hear from them, even though I will not get another email from them until ..........

I am looking for a j-o-b now. Any suggestions? And No, not Burger Chef, although may the Chef rest in peace (1996).

Six Feet Under ...do you watch it? I just started watching these past two seasons. Very good show. Everybody is fucked up, and the show is unrealistic, but the same goes for the Cosby's, and that was a decent show. It is over now...so buy the DVDs.

Entourage. Are you watching that show?
YES: Great, it is getting great reviews because it is great.
NO: jackass.

HBO shows rule Beavis. Entourage, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Family Bonds, Da Ali G Show, Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Wire (which I think is the best of them all ...so far). No network comes close right now.
Other good shows on HBO: CostasNow, Unscripted, Cathouse
Yes, there are bad ones on HBO: Real Time with Bill Maher (poser), Def Poetry Jam (pretentious, just because it is poetry ..does not mean people owe anything to the show), and The Comeback. The Comeback is the who with Lisa Kudrow, which means you should watch one show. You have to give Lisa at least one show. Then you will find out that the show is not good at all. Near terrible. The camera work is annoying, her character is annoying, and nothing is ever funny. Ever. OK,Terrible.

Which leads me to Joey ...on NBC. It started out slow ...average at best, but I am telling you, it got better as the season went on. You almost can't go wrong with his schtick.

Ok enough about TV

Wait ...Watch INTERVENTION on A&E (Sunday nights after Family Plots, which is also a decent show). An excellent show. A to A+ range. True stories ...full range of emotions here Beavis.

Ok enough about TV. I watch too much TV
