Max: The Unemployed Superhero

I'm beginning to get worried. My efforts to launch a business are stalling and my savings are slowly dwindling. What if my venture fails? Whatever will I do if I can't collect porn? I'm looking for a Ginger Lynn 'special'. If you know where I can find one call me at 555-Love. Cartman's mother starred in the one I'm looking for.

I was conceived in the 70s but was born in the 80s. One thing about that decade in its defense. It wasn't the worse decade musically in history as some may claim. THere was a lot of crap but it was diverse in both its good things and bad things. Every decade had its crap. Although the 20s right up until the 60s seem to have a lot less of it. It sure feels, pound for pound, there was beeter music (or film for that matter during these decades). The 80s did produce U2, The Police and John Cougar Mellencamp (though all got their start in the 70s but you get my point. They defined the 80s.). It had a nice line-up of punk/New wave/alternative groups and singers like Morrissey, The Cult, Husker Du, The Replacements, and The Minutemen but to name a few. It also had Duran Duran, Culture Club, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Level 42 etc. It was a mish mash of things. Even its film genres were diverse but I'll stop here. TV programming that scarred me (in a good way) were Cheers, Miami Vice, Magnum PI and The A-Team (this show was terrible but I loved it). I'll even throw in WKRP and Taxi since they were still playing in the early 80s. When I look back it's amazing to note that the things I found crap back then I still hate and the stuff I loved, well, I still enjoy. Weird. Uusally it's the other way around. People hate the contemporary things around them but cme to appreciate them later on in life.

Today I saw a postal worker, if you can believe this, this is a true image, slouched inside one of those grey buisness mail boxes on one of the busiest streets on the island of Montreal. She was reading a book! I looked around to see if people were astonished by this display of stupidity and I could tell people were just as shocked. Our tax dollars hard at work for just another unionized worker that will take to the streets on strike in a couple of months for 'better' working conditions based on 'principles' and 'respect.' Next time these clowns go on strike I'll remember this chick. If you're on break go into a cafe for cripe sakes to read your little book. Don't mock us.

One car had a bumber sticker that read "Don't STEAL. Government hates competition." Ditto.

Michael Moore has managed to convince blue-chip documentarians that some of his work is considered to be among the greatest doc in history. It does not matter how you arrive at your vision and opinions. If you can put it on film and sell it than your work gets all the accolades. You can use every deception in the book and you'll be called an editing 'genius'. One bozo wnet as far as to consider him a satirist. He's got some major reading to do. If Moore is a satirist than Marx is a humorist. What do you expect from a society that cosniders the DaVinci Code as a refreshing take on history? One clergyman said it was a book that helped people search for spitituality? The Big Church of Deception is winning people. I have no problem with issues being brought to the table but please, at the very least, use integrity and honesty. Taking snippets of facts here and there and pasting them together to solve a mystery is not 'fact' nor is it proff there is a cover-up conspiracy. Jack-asses. We're going around trying to solve problems that either aren't that serious are real at all. Our spinal chords connecting to our brains need re-adjusting.
