So. Central Rain from REM.

Hey Dude . .
Telling for experience with clients, the National Club is still one of the worst bars in New Bedford.  I know for a fact the fights, drug deals, and idiots still hang out there in a part of beautiful downtown New Bedford that I hope you change to something much less a “fisherman’s club” (if you live in the area, you now that means bad things) and do like the owners did with Alfie’s on Ashley Blvd and try to make it a nice restaurant.

This looks fun!

Question
Now that Jacko is dead?  Who is the current creepiest celebrity?  I read today someone say Phil Spector, I might agree with that one.

Losing My Religion from REM.  I have decided to explore REM for you, I am a big REM fan up until the Album Out of Time and then they changed a bit and I stopped listening.  There are actually quite a few bands like that, they changed their style as they got more famous: REM, U2, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Smashing Pumpkins to name a few.  Losing My Religion is probably the cumulation of their career of music, I started in the middle.  Song blew my mind first time I ever heard it.

VOMIT!
So Malach got up at 2:30AM last night as started puking his brains out, lasted until about 10AM this morning, then I fell asleep until about 1:30PM.  I called into work for once for me being sick and not the kids.  So, you know where you got it from if it happens to you.  I was so uncomfortable, achy, headache, sweating, cold.  I finally turned the Central Air back on cause I felt overheated  . .

The Murder down the street
Well some answers today, and like I was discussing with family, I thought there might be a self defense case with the manslaughter charge.  It’s a shame, don’t know the family, don’t recognize the kid either.

Fairhaven Mills

Yeah, it has made a major change to the New Bedford skyline

Jacko
Murder?

The Westport Fair
Spent half the day at the Wesport Fair today with Wife, Kids, and Mom and Pop.  If you have never been to the Wesport Fair, this is a good old farmer’s country fair smack dab in the middle of Southeastern MA.  Being there, your would swear you are down South.  Got great food, carnival, craft goods, farm animal contests, lumberjacking contest, and a favorite of our, Tractor Pulls. So we hung around for the modifieds, which is pretty cool, and LOUD.  You sit in the stand about 50′ from the action, like so:

In fact me and my parents were basically sitting the in the same seats.  This year was even more fun, 2 blown radiators, and one of the modified popped a clutch while backing into the sled, and smashed right into.  Luckily the Operators all managed to dive for safety and no one was hurt.

RIP Walter Cronkite
Another celebrity bites the dust, at least Cronkite was in his 90′s and also had been ill for a while.  Malach is not really old enough to have any memories of Cronkite, but as my father said, he was the newsman, there since the beginnings of television.  And obvious pioneer, DMDSS salutes the life of Walter Cronkite.  RIP.

Yeah . .
There some crazy sexual joke here, but Malach is much too classy to go there.

Hey Look!

Now that MJ is dead, we get also sort of crazy old videos about him. 

Now you can see him hair catch fire from the early 80′s, I am sure sooner or later home videos of MJ dressed as Peter Pan with a ton of little boys will come out.  Gotta LOVE the internet.  Thank you CNN!  Mayhap this is why Pepsi is Malach’s favorite drink?

Ahh NASCAR
Ain’t nothing like racing inches apart at speeds of 200MPH, high on meth!

Ok enough MJ, time for some real Black Music, and appropriately enough, Don’t Believe the Hype from Public Enemy.

OK, one more on MJ
After my “defense” of Jacko, I got this Email from Dad.

mj and hitler
Your defense of mj is as ridiculous as praising hitler for his humanitarian work in germany in the thirties and forties. there are still arians who refuse to recognize the holocaust and claim  that hitler is german hero. mj is flawed as a human being. whatever contributions he made to the music field are overshadowed by his degenerate life style. No amount of sugar coating changes the perversions he committed in his lifetime. barry bonds can never be accepted for his hitting accomplishments he will always be a steroid fraud. mj will always be a freak and a pervert. Dad

Now, I don’t disagree with this, I just wanted to point out the praise of Jacko, especially in the Black Community.  While Jacko was never convicted, neither was OJ.  Unlike Hitler or Bonds, I don’t think it was ever Jacko plans to commit his sins to push and agenda.

One thing I don’t also understand about his embrace by the Black Community, skin diseases aside, MJ basically removed his blackness through plastic surgery, his nose, his lips, his cheek bones, eyes, they all say White, or Anime.  Don’t Believe the Hype.

The Mood of Red Sox Nation
What a weird couple of games.  Last night the Sox had a 10 – 1 lead going into the 7th, and the Bullpen imploded, the best Bullpen in baseball.  Giving up 10 runs.  Biggest lead every given up by a first place team to a last place team.  Last time the Sox gave up a lead like that in the last third of a game?  1989.  If this was pre 2004, the Nation would be calling for Francona’s head, but it’s not.  The whole attitude?  Eh, was fluke game, it happens.  Just to prove it, the Sox today, Beckett gets banged around by the Orioles it is 5 – 1 going into the 9th.  Pedroia gets on, Youk hits a two run blast.  O’s bring in their closer (Sherill), and stikes out Bay and Ortiz.  Sherill then gives up a single to Jeff Bailey, walks the next two, and Baldelli hits a two run single to tie it up.  Sox end up winning in 11.

Yet another must see movie?

There is a new Fetus – X. 

KMP Softball Update
So we won yesterday pretty big, we were up, 17 – 4 at the end of the 3rd inning, got all new bats, and they had some POP.  My shortstop hit 2 grandslams.  Malach went 2 – 3 and got his first extra base hit.  Malach pitched really well, and switched to first base in the 4th so we could get our back up some work.  Final score was 28 – 11.

Jacko
Malach actually defended Jacko yesterday at work.  WOW!  I got into a conversation about him, with the majority of people just not understanding the idolatry and the reverence given to him.  Someone also did understand the whole BET Awards show being a tribute to him, when he was nothing but a Child Molester.

So Malach played Devil’s Advocate, first Jacko was never convicted of child molestation (OJ wasn’t convicted of murder either), now that does not excuse any of the bizarre behavior he has had around kids, including alchohol consumption with kids, porn sharing with kids, etc.  Now in the 1990′s case it was settled out of court.  I don’t know about you, but any amount of money would not keep me quiet about some one molesting one of my kids, but that is an aside.  In the 2000′s case he was acquited for lack of evidence . . .

But that is not what people are celebrating.  Michael Jackson is to Black America what Elvis or John Lennon was to White America.  MJ broke records, out sold Elvis, the Beatles, whomever as a Black Artist.  Jacko also broke the MTV color barrier.  I remember early MTV, the only Black Person you saw on there was JJ Jackson (a VJ), and Clarence Clemmons.  MTV played White Rock and New Wave.  MJ was the first Black Artist to get HEAVY airplay on MTV.  He broke open the doors for other Black artists including rap artist to get played on MTV, which made your career in the 80′s.  MJ also made Black music relevant, and opened the door to big selling minority artists.  Now I am not a fan of most of his music, he was a musical genius, in the very least choosing songs and song writers who would make him famous.  He had a unique voice, was very charismatic (at least in the 80′s), and could dance like there was no tomorrow.

Now, I am trying to make excuses for his behavior, and it was Bizarre, from the plastic surgery, to the sleep overs, to the drugs, the sham marriages, the kids that probably aren’t even his genetic kids, to the closeted gay relationships; there is no excuse.  Yes, he had a brutal child hood, growing up in the spotlight, and his overbearing father, but so did the rest of the kids; so did Janet Jackson, maybe just as much as Michael, that still does not excuse . . .

But that man was a great artist (even I can admit that), and that is what is being celebrated.  I think Barack Obama, who put out a statement about it said it best:

He was an important and magnificent performer, obviously, he had aspects of his life that were sad and tragic, but his impact is undeniable.

It begins
US troops hopefully begin a slow but steady pull out from Iraq today, it will be very interesting to see how this goes.  Personally, I believe most Iraqis want to be free and democratic, but there are non certain elements in the country, a number of them non-Iraqis would love to see nothing more than this fail.

Check out my new Cell Phone
So I renewed my contract with Verizon, and got this baby for $20.  Making everyone jealous at work.

Excuses, Excuses . .
So where was last night’s blog?  Well, Malach has had a couple of sick kids, and last night, the boy starting getting intense abdominal pains, and vomiting.  I immediately thought it was Appedicitis, but it was on and off, so I held out.  Wifey was working, and when she got home at Eleven, he woke up in pain and vomiting again, and she took him to the emergency room.  This was around 10PM.  They finally got triaged at 12:30PM and placed in a room.  6 hours of IV’s, blood tests, x-rays, and CTScans revealed a blockage of the plumbing, seems the fifths virus had moved down to the large intenstine.  Well, at least that is better than Appedicitis.  They got home at 6AM, wife is sleeping right now cause she had to work in Brockton this morning.  The boy has just taken his dose of magnesium citrate, so I expect a crap explosion in the next hour.

Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough, for Jacko, cause we can always use some MJ talking sexy to us. Just ask Joey Polanski

Speaking of Wacko Jacko
Man, Joe Jackson’s looking scary nowadays.  The whole legal fight coming over his “assets” is going to be interesting, and trust me, that is coming.  And I love Jesse Jackson, always where the money is.

Oh and the jokes keep coming in:

Michael’s doctor said that since he was 99% plastic, they were going to melt him down and turn his body into legos so that little boys could play with him forever.

Yeah . .
Only in Tennessee

Malach Skeik Yerbouti Friday Video of the Day on a Saturday

I am Malach, Hey Bill Cosby, you shouldn’t be smoking around kids like that!

What a day for death and destruction . . .
So this morning upon going online, I find out Farrah Fawcett finally succumbed to cancer.  Say what you want about the last 10 years, and her insanity, Farrah rocked, even into her 60′s.  I can remember her famous poster from the 70′s and I am only 37.  First sex symbol that did something for me.  RIP

Then, I had the day off from work, so did Dr. Murk.  The Angry Piper left his work early and we got together for a 4 1/2 hours sesson of Arkham Horror.  Unfortunately we could not save the world, and Aza-Thoth destroyed it, came close, but in the later stages of the game, Piper chracter kept getting delayed, KO’d and such, the Dunwich horror appeared, and we were done . . . 

As we were playing my wife calls.  Both kids had gotten wierd rashes, she had taken them to the Doctor, and they have Fifth Disease.  AWESOME, so just before she hangs up, she says, “Ohh and Michael Jackson died”. 

WHAT? The King of Pop?  Wacko Jacko?  Yes, the Michael Jackson passed away today of a massive heart attack.  Wow.  How big is that?  I am not a fan of MJ, I like his stuff with Jackson 5, and from Off the Wall, not particular fond of Thriller, and hate everything after that except for The Way You Make Me Feel.  Of course his live is a bizarre tale that I loved to follow, between the plastic surgery, the questionable activities with minors, his overall weirdness, his financial ruin.  Of course MJ was a poineer of the MTV generation, modern pop music, and a psuedo uplifter of Black America.  He will be missed, maybe though not for all the right reasons.

So, how does this all fit together?  It must somehwo, this can’t all be mere coincidence.

And the wife just told me a “too soon” joke:

Farrah Fawcett dies and meets God, God gives her one wish.  After thinking Farrah says “I wish all the children all over the world to be safe”.  So God grants her wish, and kills Michael Jackson.

OUCH.
So, Malach decided to cleanout and organize his shed today.  I have a 10′ x  8′ aluminum shed in my back yard, in which I keep gardening tools (including a chainsaw), my lawnmover, a weedwacker, my wheelbarrow, a snowblower, and grass fertilizer spread, some fertilizer, some chemicals (Bug sprays, weed killers, gasoline), and a ton of firewood.  I needed to reorganize it as everthing was a bit willie nillie.

I hate this shed, and I can’t wait to get rid of it.  It is old, falling apart, and the celing is really low.  In the middle of the shed, it is about 6′ 3″ which is right over my head.  As the roof slopes it is less than 5′ on the sides, and the last own nailed some asphalt sheeting on it, it has nails stick out of it.  The worst part of the shed in the entry, which is only about 5′ 6″ high.  I have whacked my head REALLY hard on it several times.

Well today I really did it, I walked into carrying some firewood full speed, may I add, this was the 5th time I had done it that day, and gave myself a nasty neck stinger.   Neck popped, got the burning sensation down my spine, and my legs went weak.  Gonna have whiplash I am sure in the morning.

Dear Malach

• Dr. John Rebello writes: Dear Malach, What about them Patriots?  Ahh, Dr. John.  That Pats could win the division next week if the stinky Jets beat the Dolphins, or make the wild card if the Ravens lose.  I don’t have any real hope for both, and don’t trust the Jets to win.  In general though, considering all the injuries, Bellichick is the greatest coach ever, and this is a great season.  Case in point, look what happened to Seattle this year and all their injuries.
