Dear America...

What a wack title for an entry... sounds like I'm about to bust into some "DEMOCRACY IS HYPOCRISY INEQUALITY IN SOCIETY I SPIT FIYAH-TY yadda yadda TRAVEL ON IN BABYLON" spoken word tirade (not that there's anything wrong with that... some of our best friends are said firespitters... except they dope and not as prone to the above brand of blanket ranting).

Point is, taxes were done this weekend, cursories were cursed, temples were rubbed, walls were punched, and Sin City was seen like a mufugga (you all know where to peep the trailers; included link is more to schools yourself on the books) to relieve some tension. Worked like whoa; left the theater with a wide grin and that magic fanboy feeling. Good looks to Robert Rodriguez for throwing Frank Miller's name first on the director's credit. Respeck!

Whatever tho... broke even this year, can't complain too much. Oh wait... YES I CAN. Rassum frassum counter-intuitive forms and phonebook-sized instructions... how come this never got implemented??? A project from 1994 to redesign the 1040, but for whatever reason the form sitting on my desk still looks like some dood in a suit vomited random numbers and letters on a page and handed it over like "here, you figure it out." Boooooo.

Red Falls Out of Favor As Teacher's Choice You parents are too sensitive. Stuff like this makes me want to become a teacher just so I can start using red PAINT to mark up all your kids' mistakes. They're growing up soft! Where the teeth?

Rock N' Roll Camp for Girls is coming to Brooklyn. Donate that MPC you bought during your Anticon phase and all those vintage synths you copped on eBay when you fronted like you were lo-fi.

More self-esteem for the kiddies: Girls On the Run. If they could just add an "E for eating" a la Noreaga, their acronym could be GORE. And that would be dope.

As far as helping out the boyos in regards to body image: WrestleMania 21 Results. Two of the boffo-est of boffos, Batista and John Cena, walked away the new champs. So uh... be like them.

Captain Planet recommends Jabu, "a rad play about Alfred Jarry- another young artistic genius who killed himself with drugs. Outrages, funny, cool music."
