Four things I want to talk about today

Today, I have a bunch of things I want to talk about, so its just going to be hit and run on this post… Bare with me,--- Next week I anticipate actually writing one of my best posts ever, so we all have that to look forward to.
-
Next week’s post Is one I have been thinking about in my mind for a few days now, plus I am going to actually get Paid for it as well, in a bartering type of way. So it will be special for me because of that, and I anticipate trying to make it worthwhile for you to read to the end. I say that part about reading it to the end, because it will be kind of a long post. But for this day, I am just going to write a bunch of stupid shit about stuff that came up today in my mind.
-
I went to “Arte Americas” on Thursday Night. It is an art show for Latin American Artists held in the Miami Beach Convention Center. That’s right, I went to a racist art show tonight. This show is strictly for artist from Latin America. Hence, my adjective for it: “racist” If they held a show and said it was for WHITE MAIL EDUCATED AMERICAN MEN ONLY? I think the American civil liberties union would be all over it. But you know what? I don’t really care in the end, so don’t let me go down that Self Righteous anti discrimination post that is part of my very DNA right now.
-
No, for right Now, I want to tell you about a piece of ART I did NOT buy. First of all, My thinking before I got into this show, sort of on the way over, was that this was going to be Latin American Art. Meaning, I would look at the art in question and think to myself, Self, this looks like a Latin person painted it.. well you know what? That did not happen. The Art was just Art. Also, Most of it SUCKED really bad, just like White people did it. Or a second grader. But this one piece I came by, just stopped me in my fucking tracks. It was like my shoes suddenly had that superglue that the guy hangs his helmet from an I-Beam on in those silly commercials.
-
It was a painting of a woman that was so beautiful, I believe Angelina Jolie would go Lesbian on her just to be with the person this painting represented. ( I stole that idea from someone that commented on my cell phone about the Angelina Jolie Post of yesterday, the person texting me said she thought Jolie was so HOT that she would totally go LESBO just to be with her)
-
Right now I am WAY poorer then I know I should be at this stage in my life, but I didn’t care, I absolutely would have paid $1,000.00 to own this piece of Art. Unfortunately, the asking Price was $69,000.00. Sure I probably could have talked them down to Oh? I don’t know? $65,000.00, but All I could afford for Art was nothing, Nada, ZILCH, and I was totally willing to blow that ART budget of zipperino by about 1k, that’s how awesome this painting was.
-
We are talking about Art that would make Angelina Jolie Go Lesbo right in front of you.. that is some powerful ASS SHIT right there. But anyway, I didn’t buy it, and then I went and had a few more glasses of vino from their little plasticky ass plastic wine cups.
-
You could end this post right there, but I would feel bad if I didn’t touch on just a couple more things.

This morning, a blogger sent me an E-mail telling me how much he liked my blog. He sent me a link as well, and I went and checked out HIS blog. You know what? His blog was awesome, and I put a link up on my links part of my web sight. He can be found at: http://slideshows.nachofoto.com/?i=0 and while there, I ended up reading about an animal called a Civet. A Civet is a cat like, raccoon resembling, feline type of animal. Evidently you give this animal Coffee beans, wait till it poops, dig through that very same poop and pull out the coffee beans and VOILA, you have the worlds most expensive coffee beans. If you are like me, you probably are thinking if I got my coffee beans from a Civet’s poop, I would probably think I was entitled to a discount? That’s just me, and probably just you, but in reality, The rest of the world thinks you should pay a premium for that type of coffee. Somewhere in this world, coffee beans that come from Civet Poop, are HIGHLY desirable.

Almost done.

One more thing though, Today, in the Miami Herald I read about a fellow that has a job working out of Alaska. When a ship is in trouble, it’s his job to ride in a helicopter out to the middle of the Pacific Ocean sometimes, and lower himself into the water to help put survivors in a rescue basket. Last week he saved 43 people while doing this, and was in the arctic ocean for over 3 hours (yes he had a special suit on, but I am still betting that shit was really cold) I am such a loser, I lost the article and don’t recall his name. But that’s not why I am a loser, I am a loser because my job entails me getting up and commuting that 2 feet to my desk. It requires me to look out my window at the beautiful ass Centrust building. Sometimes I even have to talk to people on the phone, but at no time am I ever asked to slide down a rope into the middle of the North Pacific Ocean with Swelling ass tidal type waves, that are freezing cold, to save people I don’t know.
-
You know what though? I live in a world in which there are people that do that, and it makes me humble about being me, and glad I am part of the same overall humanness that this guy comes from. Here is to you, “Mr. I jump out of a helicopter 250 miles from shore, into huge ocean swells of the pacific Northwest water which are just above freezing. Oh yeah, also, I do it at Night time without a night light….”

I totally respect that about you, even if I lost the paper that had your name in it and am just mailing that part of this post in…

SINCERELY

I would totally eat some coffee beans and then dig through my poo for some extra cash. Well, maybe I'd just take a cut of the cash and use the rest to pay someone else to dig through the poo.

My whole point Phoenix, is that I prefer any coffee I drink to NOT come from Civet Poo.... thats just me though and I guess as it is a premium coffee that you have to pay extra for Not all people agree. Some think thats a special way to start their day... I just dont see it..
