Ghosts of prom dates past...

In the spring of 1988, just before I started dating my future wife, I was in the midst of the most rebellious phase of my life. I was very much into the hardcore punk scene. Nothing came close to the emotion one experienced being with lots of people crammed into a small space, listening to the thunderous sounds of a NYHC band, moshing around in a circle and releasing all pent-up frustrations in a furious explosion of energy. I can remember all the times having to go down to the city just to find hardcore albums and see shows that were otherwise unavailable up here - short of the venues that played in Middletown, NY at a makeshift music hall called "The Grunge Club." For a while, I used to hang out with a group called Affirmative Action who practiced and played there with other local bands before Mark Johnson began organizing headline events. Before that, we used to just call the place "The Warehouse", because thats what it was; a old warehouse with it's entrance being down an alleyway and up a fire escape - a freaking block away from the police station! The place was totally illegit for breaking fire code and in order to skirt the liqueur laws for the kegs, they sold empty cups for $5 a piece. It became a major hangout as more and more local underground bands formed and needed a decent place to jam-out.

Up here in Orange County, there were only a handful of girls who were into the scene. From what I found this far out of NYC, hardcore punk was mostly a guy thing. However, there was one girl who broke the mold. Christine O'Dwyer was a free spirit if I had ever known one. No one could ever hope to put her in a box and she was definitely no follower of passing fashionable trends. She was what you might consider a little hard around the edges, but she was still very much a beautiful girl... and I had the privilege of escorting her to the 1988 Monroe-Woodbury Senior Prom! In honor of such an occasion, I decked out in black tux, combat boots, Gunnery Sergeant chevron lapel pins and a safety pin w/ razor blade earing. Not to brag, but we looked damned good together that night.



It wouldn't be much of a stretch for me to say that we stood out a bit. Not like I gave a shit or anything. The food sucked and the music was DEFINITELY not to my taste, but we had a good time none-the-less. BTW, I was not the only guy there wearing combat boots that evening. Another friend of ours named Max wore his as well. I can't remember if Chris wore her Doc Martens or not. I think she did. Alzheimer's disease must be setting in. Maybe she'll remind me if she ever decides to take the time and read this post. With two other friends, we left the prom and crashed in a hotel room for the night. The next day the four of us took off down to Seaside Heights, NJ to hang out for the rest of the weekend.

After Chris graduated, she took off to California and I only saw her once more after that when she came back to visit in the early '90s. I missed her very much. We had lots of fun hanging out. I was happy to have recently found her on Facebook. She's back living in Monroe now and I hope that someday soon we can get together and bullshit over old times and a couple of cold beers.

Since way back when I started my jukebox, I've been meaning to get around to doing something and this occasion has given me an excuse for doing so. I dug out a shit-load of my old albums and tapes from storage and digitized some of my favorite hardcore tracks for your listening enjoyment.

*FAIR WARNING*
Most of the music posted on the following version of the MoFiZiX MuZiX Jukebox is considered by most folks out there to be:
1. Offensive
2. Nasty
3. Brutal
4. Obscene
5. Indecent
6. Mean
7. Ugly
8. Wretched
9. Insulting
10. Disgusting
11. Immature
12. Angry
13. Filthy
14. Violent
15. Crass
16. Insane
17. Putrid
18. Grotesque
19. Hateful
20. Vulgar
And quite a few other descriptive words which I have neither the time nor the desire to use... you get the general point!



Keep in mind that I listened to this crap for years... and still do on occasion when the attitude is ripe ;)

Listening to that old stuff brings back lots of memories. For nostalgic effect, I even pulled out my old leather jacket, suspenders and combat boots - the same ones I wore on the night of that prom - just to contemplate how it was that I survived those times. Uh-oh, the jacket don't fit, I must've gained a few pounds... LMFAO!!! The boots fit but they're way too stiff for stompage.

Anyway, that's a little glimpse into my wild past. It's amazing how things change in 20 years. Back then, I didn't think I'd make it to 35 and here I am working on the big five-oh. ...holy crap!

Oh, look what I found in my mailbox...

History 101

For those that don't know about history ... Here is a condensed version:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers.. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundations of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals, and
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. Those became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democrat voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, politicians, bureaucrats, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women.. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively.. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing..

Here ends today's lesson in world history:

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.

And there you have it.

Let your next action reveal your true self .

Thanks Tom :)

Calling Dr. Killjoy...

Late last night, a friend of mine emailed me a very troubling story...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his “Obama phone.” I asked him what an “Obama phone” was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month. I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth. TAX PAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES. This program was started earlier this year. Enough is enough, the ship is sinking and it’s sinking fast. The very foundations that this country was built on are being shaken. The age old concepts of God, family, and hard work have flown out the window and are being replaced with “Hope and Change” and “Change we can believe in.” You can click on the link below to read more about the “Obama phone”…just have a barf bag ready.

https://www.safelinkwireless.com/EnrollmentPublic/benefits.aspx

This was the first time I've heard of this, but my spidey senses were telling me that this was no bullshit. I did my own search on the interwebs to find more confirmation on this crap, and sure enough... it's right there for all to see. Not that I'd like give any special credence to these folks as a source of verification because of their obvious cover-up for an illegal immigrant president, but Snopes has an article that authenticates the program as REAL!!! Not only that, but - as expected - they did an awesome bang-up job fluffing it up as a "humanitarian" gesture by the US government concerned about the need for impoverished persons to have access to emergency communications.

Emergencies????????? *pththththththt!!!!!* ...yeah, right!

Universal Rejection!

Global Warming Petition Project

"We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

This petition has been signed by over 31,000 American scientists.

Seems to me that the jury is no longer out on the validity of "global warming." As millions of once committed believers of this monumental hoax are finally figuring out that all this has ever been was a lie manufactured by leftists as a means to their end which is nothing short of global socialist control, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have the nerve to hold debate on carbon emissions regulation. With George Soros' puppet in the White House gearing up for the climate summit at Copenhagen only six weeks away, the only thing we can do in the hopes that he will have nothing to offer them will be for us to flood the phone lines in Washington, demanding that the economic destruction of our country does not continue!

Once again, I am posting the links for you good folks to contact your representatives and read them the riot act concerning the unwarranted passage of ANY carbon emissions legislation...

Man Attempts to Hijack Plane Using Plastic Knife
AOL Travel News
By Libby Zay
October 22, 2009

A Sudanese man armed with a disposable, plastic knife attempted to hijack an aircraft yesterday, the Associated Press reported.

The passenger, identified as 26-year-old Mohammed Hamad Nourain, was onboard an EgyptAir plane from Istanbul, Turkey to Cairo, Egypt. A Cairo police official told AP the hijacker used a passport with a fake name to board the flight.

After the plane left Turkish airspace, the man wielded the disposable knife from his meal tray and demanded the crew to redirect the plane.

Imad Sallam, head of the Civil Aviation Authority, told India's ZeeNews that the hijacker put a plastic knife up to an air hostess' neck and told her "take me to Jerusalem."

Egyptian Air Marshals who were sitting in the back of the plane reacted immediately. The officers overpowered and arrested the hijacker while the flight continued on its path...

Sorry, asshole...
YOU FAIL!

BACK IN ACTION!

Were back in action folks! I've upgraded the site to Wordpress 2.8.5 and although it was a major pain in the ass - due to many of my existing Java scripts conflicting with the new platform - everything appears to be working much better than before. Most of the benefit from this upgrade is mine alone as I can now swiftly kick the spammer's asses with new tools at my disposal. Folks can once again register to join the website and commenting timeouts will be a little longer than before. The website management tools this thing has are sweet!

Also fixed are the annoying problems I was having with my MuZiX Jukebox. Now, If you click on the Jukebox located in the upper left column, the link will open up another tab with the Java script app for playing music. At this point I only have some choice selections from my current listening repertoire, but as I get it more together over here, I'll be sporting other genres for your listening pleasure. I've even tested my Christmas tunes page with the slide show from 2 years ago and even that thing's good to go for the day after Thanksgiving when I put up the holiday decorations.

So please, give the MoFiZiX MuZiX Jukebox a try and let me know what you think. Also please take a moment to register with the site so that at anytime in the future you can login and comment on my postings.

YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

...death by sardine can!

Under Construction Once Again!

Sorry folks, I'm back at it again and have the need for more functionality here at the site. One of the main reasons for this upgrade is to take advantage of a better user registration and login app. Back several months ago - actually more like a year ago or better - I was getting swamped with comment spammer registrations with the appearance of them being legit registrants. The only way for peeps to register for commenting was for me to manually enter them into the SQL database. Needless to say, it was a royal PITA! Let's hope this upgrade fixes all that.

So here it goes...
See you on the other side!

When was the most fall down drunk you've ever been?

Whenever it was, I have a sneaking suspicion it couldn't have compared to this poor sumbitch...


...or could it?

The Perfect Storm Approacheth...

Before I begin with this post, please let me emphasize the importance of watching the videos I have provided below. I tried to find the shortest clips so as not to bore you to death, but to give you what I believe to be the concise and factually accurate narrative of the subject I am about to discuss. I know I've been absent for a while, but I say to you now, this is one of the most prolific entries I have ever made on this website. Sadly, to most folks, these topics go largely ignored because many have been lulled to sleep by preoccupation with prime-time television entertainment, video games and text messaging chatter about who is most likely to win the next American Idol contest. I assure you, unless more attention is paid to the topics I am about to present to you here in this posting, we will be in for a extremely rude awakening in the very near future.

Thank you,
The Management



We are at the precipice of an historic and devastating shift in global socio-economics. For better than a century, communist social engineers have been hard at work devising the complete takeover of free market society and are about to see their dreams of world-wide control come to fruition. Masked in a disguise of utopianist and liberal ideology, their real desire is to attain conquest over the entire planet and exercise absolute control over all humanity, giving over all power, wealth, and control into the hands of a select few.



One of the very first systems of control in the United States was organized in the early 20th century was the establishment of the Federal Reserve. By strapping the nation in debt, progressives sought to lay the foundation of eventual economic collapse. It was heralded as sound means of controlling the nation's monetary system, but from its inception, those who devised this method of financial slavery knew that in the end, only those in control of it would retain the spoils of victory.



The first storm has formed and is gathering more strength with the passing of each day. Through years of indoctrinating America's youth into believing that only by the collective spirit, can societies truly prosper, and demonizing the very principles that made our country the greatest nation in the world, academic elitists have been able to effectively lead the sheep to their slaughter, and as the majority of our nation's citizens lie fast asleep - preoccupied with their selfish motivations - the most powerful financial system in the world was slowly being brought to its knees. With the burst of the real estate bubble, our economy was left in near ruin. This, in turn, prompted those responsible for orchestrating the disaster in the first place to move against the mortgage and banking industry in order to place control of it into the their own hands - the hands of power hungry politicians - the last place anything should be entrusted for salvation.



Then, without pause, Washington set to work on taking control of the nation's health care system. Mandating coverage of all citizenry not only would give them the glory of appearing to be the provider of heath for every man, woman, and child - securing votes through dependence on government subsidies - but would also line the pockets of union officials, government contracted health care entities and special interest groups who, in turn, would funnel money back to the politicians who keep them fat and happy through campaign contributions and other "legitimate" loopholed kickbacks. The darker side of the reason why progressives want to control the nations health care system is their desire to effectively maintain population control through their mandates of free abortion, sterilization and euthanasia. The second storm has formed.



As if two storms wasn't bad enough, there is now a third storm looming on the horizon which, if it goes to a full category 5 as I fear it will, has the propensity of combining with the first two, creating an economic disaster of biblical proportions. This storm will be the death kneel for the United States of America and will mercilessly ravage what little vestiges of freedom and security we have left. This monster was spawned under the lie that carbon emissions have a direct impact on the changes in our earth's climate. First, they tried to attribute the rise in man made carbon dioxide to the descent in global temperatures. In the 1970s, they proclaimed that the Earth was heading toward a new ice age. When that didn't pan out due to the "unexpected" INCREASE in global temperatures, they quickly moved to recast it as "global warming." On cue, they tried to attribute the rise in man made carbon dioxide to the RISE in global temperatures. They claimed that in only a scant few years the earth would overheat, burn up everything and wipe out humanity. When that didn't pan out due to the "unexpected" DECLINE in global temperatures, they quickly moved to recast it as "global climate change."

Now, with the last free nation in the world fallen into the hands of socialist political control, the wealthiest and most powerful are moving at breakneck speed to drop the hammer and complete the deal ensuring the enslavement of all humanity.



This is not a conspiracy theory, folks. What I share with you here is not a hodgepodge of unsubstantiated fact or innuendo. These forces of evil are culminating into a perfect storm that will leave no ship unturned in its wake. I tell you folks with the utmost sincerity, this is the true face of the Beast as mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Not a single individual, as many had anticipated, but a broad network of the most extremely wealthy and powerful people on the face of the Earth, and we are looking down the barrel of the largest gun that has ever been pointed at he heart of individual liberty and freedom. Unless the good people of this nation and the world wake up from their slumber and do what is necessary as soon as possible, our future will cease to exist.

Now that I am thoroughly exhausted and have to be to work in just a few hours, I will now be dumping my weary bones in the sac and calling it quits for tonight. Thanks for your attention.

Here's a tung-twister for ya...

Can you say "Bear Make Beer Run" 10 times fast?

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online

A 125-pound black bear wandered inside and headed straight for the beer cooler.The bear made his stop Thursday night at Marketplace Foods in Hayward, walking through the automatic doors and heading straight into the liquor department. The bear calmly climbed up 12 feet onto a shelf in the beer cooler where it sat for about an hour while employees helped evacuate customers and summoned wildlife officials...

*snip*

Poor Yogi, he just wanted some suds to wash down all the food that those nice campers left him in those picnic baskets.

Connections...

Can you guess what all of these items have in common?


Give up???
