Who the fuck stole my blog? Other then the comment about "Nova Scotia’s gold" (a fact, prove me wrong) the last couple of posts have been full of self-loathing and bullshit.
Today, once again, Yuengling showed me the light. My first-born son's middle name is going to be Yuengling. Xander Yuengling Lamoreux. Fucking badass!
Recently, Georgia passed a law forbidding breweries from distributing their own beer. They required that separate, state controlled, companies handle the distribution. Everyone found a straw man company to take care of their distribution, except Yuengling. They told Georgia, "We've been doing it this way since 1829 and, we are not about to change our tune for you. So, today, you can get Yuengling Lager anywhere from Pennsylvania to Florida. But they refuse to go farther west then Georgia, because they refuse to put up with that bullshit.
Awesome.
Xander Yuengling Lamoreux, I'm drunk in your honor, tonight.
But seriously, Xander Yuengling Lamoreux is an awesome name. With a name like that, you could easily become the Beast, if not the Antichrist. At the very least, I expect him to become the bass player for a progressive Viking Metal band.
But on a more serious note, I need to recant. The past couple of posts have been pussy, if not worse; gay. I have been living like a rock star, what have I to complain about? A couple of weeks ago I committed a felony. You have no right to complain about the state of the union unless you have done something as kickass as a felony. This is a deep-seated principal that few people can comprehend. Lets take the drug trade for example. The most common badguy in any action thriller is a drug dealer. So, this begs the question, "why do people deal drugs?" Is it because people are just that evil? No, I'll tell you. IT IS BECAUSE DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL.
It is one of those bullshit Zen Buddhist sayings that sounds deep because it is so simple; but it is true! Bottom dwelling scum suckers will deal whatever is illegal. Now, maybe the powers that be are keeping us safe. Maybe they made drugs like marijuana and coke illegal so they would not have to battle the same bottom dwelling scum suckers who would be selling things, like weapons grade uranium, if people like you and me could get a blunt stick at the local Circle K. OK, ok, we can get a blunt stick at the local Circle K, but you know what I mean. However, you could look at it the other way; maybe they made our favorite substances illegal because they are easier to control then things like books. The problem with books is they contain things like ideas. Ideas are hard to regulate at the border. So, what we have is a system. People pedal things because they are illegal, and things are illegal because we know that people will pedal them.
So, when push comes to shove, we all have to pick our roles. Either you are the guy who makes things illegal to make yourself feel high and mighty, or you feel high and mighty because you do what is illegal despite the lofty powers that be.
In a world without reason, there is no other recourse.
So, what prompted me to come to this realization? Well, tonight I was drinking Yuengling: lots of Yuengling. My flight got delayed about 8 beers. In the bar there was a TV. This bar happened to be in Philly. Philly happens to be in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania happens to be having a primary in a couple of weeks. So, the democrats are fighting for votes. Now, I have been impressed in Obama, for a democrat, but tonight, I lost all respect for him. On his tv spot, which aired every commercial break, he talked about the oil crisis. He commented on how “unfair” it was that the oil companies are making record profit despite $3.25 a gallon prices. Fucktard. You know who has a higher profit margin on a gallon of gas then the oil companies? THE GOVERNMENT. Lets not even get into the fact that the price of gas has not gone up in the last 30 years compared to the price of gold, the American people are too stupid for economics. Lets just look at the raw numbers, today. On every gallon of gas you buy for $3.25 the oil companies make about $0.15. The government is making about $0.70. Hmmmm, someone is ripping us off.
We live in a world without reason. Americans vote, live, and die by a system that has nothing to do with facts or logic. There are only two roles you can play, as I see it. Either you choose to help enforce the broken rules of a system whose only purpose is the perpetuation of the system, or you can break the rules of said system, thereby ensuring its existence.
I may have not chosen the more honorable path, but at least my path has brownies. MMMmmmm, brownies.

dude, I came up with the opposite of your child:
Xaiquiri "Lil Bowow" Bush
Also: could you give some sources as to where you found out that the govt gets .70 per gallon?
hmmm...
initials: XYL
role call: Lamoreux, Xander Yuengling
its a possibility
I see a third role - try to reform the system; maybe get elected to public office; endure constant attacks from partisan hypocrites on all sides, and after you've had enough of it and nothing changes you give up. I hate humanity right now.
C fizzle. what's happening? This is patty and I'm tipsy. In Korea. I live here now and for the next year, at least. I hope you and Joy are more than well, perhaps stupendous. I started blogging my overseas adventures. perhaps it's a blog worth your time.
