Can't stand - the anticipation
Dream of, a girl from another nation
I see - the shadow on the ground -
In the snow, it is all around
So far, it seems from my home
But so close that I am not alone
Close my eyes, I see the revelation
And I know - the true destination
I see Miss Alienation
Do you know Miss Alienation
It's her deviant identification
Photographs, on the screen
In my mind, sweet obscene
Get me to the railway station
Gotta find my soul deviation
It's not experimentation, or deception, or fixation
"Look at the picture on the screen, then you will see exactly
what I mean"
No more, procrastination
You found Miss Alienation
I found Miss Alienation
Look at me, my fascination
Look at her, Miss Alienation
No, it's not internet infatuation
I found Miss Alienation
What do you say to Miss ALienation
Here she is Miss Alienation

A comedic genius and legend, George Carlin, dies at 71
⊆ 3:06 AM by Kade | ˜ 0 comments »
Anyone who was a fan of George Carlin might wonder if he is looking down on us now and asking, "Can someone please send for my stuff" ? It was this kind of thinking, mere observations that many
of us took for granted on a daily basis that Mr. Carlin was able to thoroughly rip apart and make us
really think. He didn't simply write some jokes and go out on stage with the same humor that many
comics try to get a laugh from. You thought long, hard, and deep about what he was telling you. He
made you want to question authority. Perhaps a "damn the man" type rant. George Carlin, who was the first to host Saturday Night Live over thirty years ago, died Sunday night of heart failure in Los Angeles at a Santa Monica hospital. He was 71. Much, much too soon for someone with his genius way of thinking.
Mr. Carlin had a history of heart problems. Over the course of the years he had three non-fatal heart attacks. He also had open-heart surgery several years ago. You have to wonder if it is somehow ironic that he passed away now after years of really denouncing God and religion. He often said that
his sole purpose here was for entertainment and he was just "here for the show". He had a strange
take on human life as well saying once in a radio interview that, "we're circling the drains as a species
and I'd like to see the drains get a little faster and a little shorter". While much of his act throughout
his career seemed to bring some sort of controversy, really, he was just speaking truth. He spoke and
joked about things that many of us don't always feel comfortable talking about. If you were thinking
it, he probably was the one to talk about it out loud and really make you use your mind.
George Carlin talks about how man does so much to fuck with nature and ruin the natural forms
of things, that when nature fights back with storms, floods, famine, and other miserable catastrophes, we get upset when we get kicked in the ass, and smacked in the nuts. He completely enjoyed that. I mean this comes from a man who had did acts with such names as, "You are all diseased", and "Life is worth losing". I personally think that much of his act after his wife passed away in 1997 might have been his
way of coping with that traumatic loss. He was married in 1961 and his wife, Brenda died of liver cancer a day before his 60th birthday. So I imagine that over these last 11 years, he must have been
quite bitter at life for taking the woman he loved for well over thirty years.
Maybe he is looking down now and thinking: "Ha, you COCKSUCKER, quit playing with your TITS, and
SHIT, and go FUCK eachother. And remember to PISS after you finish with that CUNT, you MOTHERFUCKER." Of course, ironically, years after the famous seven dirty words act, you can actually say most of those words on television today. On June 18th, it was announced that the Kennedy Center would be honoring
George Carlin with an award, the Mark Twain prize for American comedy in November of this year. I
hope that they still give it to him posthumously. He deserves that respect. He will be missed terribly. There may be many younger people today that are not familiar with his work. Now would be a good time
to check out some of his DVDs. Timeless classics as I am sure they will be referred to as. He once invented the religion, "Frisbeetarianism". This is where when you die, your soul gets flung onto a roof
and stays there and cannot be retrieved. Maybe when I look up on my roof I will see him there. Smiling back at me. Enjoying the toys that were left there by me as a child that I could never get back.

Why pay for your favorite celebrity autograph ?
⊆ 4:42 PM by Kade | ˜ 0 comments »
So, why should you pay for your favorite star's autograph ? Some people like to argue the fact that the celebrity works long, hard, exhausting hours. That they just do so much in one day that we should not be so selfish to just expect them to be happy to sign a photo. I mean, after all, when we run into them on the street they are in a hurry to get to the latest hot-spot eatery. They are on the way to that new Beverly Hills salon that has promised them the hottest newest style that fans will love around the world. Maybe they are off to pick up the latest fashion must-haves at Kitson. So, you're right. Why should I , or anyone expect a star to stop to accept a kind word from a fan ? Sign that quick sloppy signature on a photo.
Yes, how incredibly selfish of me to want my idol to sign a photo when they have more important places to be. After all, I helped get them to those places. No, I am not their chauffeur. Although I might as well be. Didn't I run to the theater and spend $12 to see their new movie ? I had to get home to see them on the newest episode of Ellen too. Oh, and that new show they are guest starring in tonight at 8pm. Wow, then there was this great commercial for this new make-up they advertised during the show. I have to have that. While at the theater there were some more ads for products I think I have to pick up. In fact, they even showed previews to the next new movie, and that actor has a role in that too. Another $12.
Or, was that $1200 ? I forgot how much that new make-up will cost me. Oh, and then there were these fabulous new jeans and t-shirts that my favorite actor now endorses or sells, or something. I must have those. After all, I want to be as fabulous as they are.
Well, would you look at that. My favorite actor is now crossing the globe to all those other unfortunate countries. They are even going to adopt a few kids. Oh, look at how precious they are. All skin and bones, and skeletal-like. They must not have a movie theater in that country. Yes, I said THAT country. I mean, after all, why should anyone focus on the United States ? We are just the greatest nation in the world. There could not possibly be any deserving kids here right ? Doesn't charity begin at home ? Or was that just another quote from a famous celebrity ?
Yes, folks, I should run right out and support that celebrity charity. In fact, wouldn't it be great if they just charged me $25 to have their autograph instead ? Yes, that would be fantastic. They could charge me $25 and then say it's for their charity. Well, I guess I am out of luck on that signature because my charity of choice is the local Aids organization, or Breast Cancer. But that's right folks, my favorite celebrity will only give me their signature if I support their charity. After all, who really gives a shit that I spent all that money on their films, memorabilia, and endorsements. They still want more. What happened to the glory days when a star was all too happy they had a fan ? Wasn't it because of you and I that they ARE able to do the things they do ?
Now, some stars are not involved in charity at all. In fact, some were on a hit show from 1962 through 1967. Now, they go to autograph shows where I can also buy their signature for a nominal fee. Wow, I was born in between those years and I only got to see that show in syndication. But, that celebrity was apparently too stupid to think about a career beyond that hit show. So now, they can live off of selling their signature the rest of their lives. And here we are buying it. Who after all would pay for their retirement ? or insurance ? or that house on the beach in Malibu ?
Yes, I think we should continue to support the star of 1965 by just giving him money for his autograph. At least they won't go hungry. It's a good thing too, because for a minute there I thought there might be some real hungry, homeless people out there who might need our help. Oh, but wait, we are always afraid to take care of them. After all, they are all just drug abusers, and drunks anyway, right ?
And then the sports star. I have heard people defend them. That it took such hard, dedicated training and work to get where they are. While that may be true for some, the majority of them still want $30 to sign a baseball card. So, some people think we are not forced to go to a game. That is true. Now, to those same people I ask this: Would there be sports without the fan ? If not one person went to a game all season, or watched the televised game, would they still be able to pay the sports star $15 million per year ? The chances are incredibly great that the answer is no. The sport depends on those fans. To pay the ticket price and parking, to buy the merchandise and food. Remember, they have a $15 million dollar-a-year salary to pay. An not just to one star. They happen to have four of them just on that one team. Wow. That is sixty million dollars they have to make up. Don't forget the star themselves who have attorneys and agents, and managers. They get a cut too. So after $15 million a year, they only come home with about $4 million. What a shame. How could anyone live off of that.
How much do you make a year again ? And how much did you spend on the games and merchandise this year ? And how much did that hot second baseman want to sign a baseball card for your 9 year-old son ? Oh, I see, $30. When little Billy turns 18, let him know he can skip college and just become a star, after all, you have no money left for college.
The bottom line is that when someone chooses to become an actor or sports star or any other celebrity, stopping for a moment to sign autographs and receive fan mail comes with the territory. It is something that has gone on since the almost the start of show business. Boo-hoo to those poor stars that had or have nothing because they only rely on that signature money. Well, I guess you should have gotten a job like the rest of us. Of course, there are plenty of people out there to protect you and tell you it's only fair we pay you more money. Some people are not happy enough until they have given you everything. How would those same people feel if Paris Hilton wanted $30 every time she signed her name ? Oh, yes, I know, you would pay it, after all, she is just a poor misunderstood celebrity.
