Look in, to the eye of the storm/ Look out, for the force without form.
Minute-to-minute updates on quantities of raw sewage, snakes in the water, FEMA, and martial law! WalMart is helping out the citizenry, make note.
Yeah, I had a conversation with my TV about this New Orleans Hurricane Katrina situation last night, so between you, me, and Travis Bickle, here's what we were thinking:
"I think someone should just take this city and just... just flush it down the fuckin' toilet."
... well, be careful what ya wish for, Travis. Sometimes the toilet ends up getting flushed all over the city, instead.
"Thank God for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk. "
... true, Travis, true. The city in question is a real stinkhole/sinkhole. I traveled there myself once, over Halloween no less. Let me tell you, walking down Bourbon Street on a humid day (i.e., every fucking day) is like undergoing a treatment at an extravagent spa for the wealthy elite, where you are misted with a fine spray of concentrated frat boy (& homeless gypsy) urine. Yes Travis, you do thank God when it rains down there, because it makes the odor go away for like 2 hours. Just enough time to duck into one of the 23,000 bars and get fucking ripped.
But that city, built out there on that mudslide... Did they really think they could ignore the realities of nature forever? Maybe their ultra-corrupt politicians and church leaders simply convinced them of such. The poverty down there is breath-taking, by the way. As are the gruesome murders! I do recommend visiting the place. Just not for awhile. Wait for the long-dead to be re-buried, at least.
"Shit... I'm waiting for the sun to shine."
... seriously Travis, I know, dude. Keep waiting.

You know all too well how to hook me with titles, content and the like. That is one of my favorite lines there for the title. Also, since the purchase of Permanent Waves, I also like Spirit of the Radio even more. It was way ahead of its time in explaining the fall of the music industry. The rest of the album, however, sucks, unlike Power Windows and Signals. Anywho, one time Phil almost got arrested on Cops in N.O. Seriously, during Mardi Gras, for doing, well, what else, fighting. That's what Mardi Gras makes you do. I'm with ya Bickle, I'm with ya. I now have become enough of an academic department whore that I must make a "presentation" on a certain problem in order to make an idiot out of me. Shit, I thought I had enough experience where I'd be exempt. Humiliating. Also I just crapped my pants... with no pants on. Chair, carpet, etc.
One last note: I have a lot of content to post. I was basically waiting to do it until I found out for sure my account would remain my own. But now, it will take some significant time for it all to be posted, as other shit... other shit.
5:08 P.M. - WWL-TV: The Oakwood Mall is on fire. Emergency crews are on the scene, but water pressure is so low, firefighters are having a tough time keeping the blaze under country.
yeah, right under country! The editor of the webpage must be under a lot of post-disaster stress, or he/she is foreign.
