			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/american-history-x.jpg"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/american-history-x-300x199.jpg" alt="american-history-x" title="american-history-x" width="300" height="199" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-500" /></a>Today we were at Target and I saw a guy in a wife beater and gym shorts and could see a tattoo on his chest in German style lettering.  I thought to myself, “I bet he’s a Skinhead”.  As he started to approach me closer I thought “Nah, nobody believes that crap anymore”.  As he passed by, I caught his neck tattoo, it read “SKINS”.  So, I guess I was wrong &#8212; people are still moronic bigots and their sorry organization of poor white trash, uneducated hooligans hell bent on re-living Hitlers Germany is still alive and well and in CA to boot.</p>
<p>The funny thing about this guy in particular is he was not 100% Caucasian from the looks of him he was [part] Hispanic.  The last time I read up on WWII’s Nazi Germany, Hitler was not taking Mexicans in the Third Reich.  This just goes to show you how uneducated these groups of people are and that they have come so far from actual reality in their practices that it’s not about White Power anymore, it’s just about being a hooligan and criminal.  This is the 21st century, while their will always be racists and bigots of all walks of life the United States really has not place for organizations like Skinheads, KKK, Black Panthers, etc.  The world is moving forward no matter if they like it or not.</p>
<p>It’s really a shame to see these people still walking around flying the flag of racism so freely and not giving a fuck who is offended and who isn’t.  Well it’s time to wake up you white trash assholes, The great US of A has a half African American President and I’m certainly glad that burns your asses because no matter how many of you got in your pick ups adorned with Confederate flags on Election Day, your votes were not enough to stop him from being elected.</p>
<p>Congratulations Skinheads around the world, you guys are weak and powerless, much like the last days of your Führer.  Oh, and one last thing for the shit head in Target, when you wear gym shorts &#8212; the logo goes in the FRONT of the shorts.  Not the back.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kiss_concertlive.jpg"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kiss_concertlive-300x281.jpg" alt="kiss_concertlive" title="kiss_concertlive" width="300" height="281" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-489" /></a>One of my favorite bands of all time is KISS.  I feel that they’re a timeless band and have and will continue to withstand the test of time.  They will never “fall off” like other bands of their era like Whitesnake, REO Speedwagon, etc.  These guys have something special, they were one of the first influential glam[our] bands, but their music does not suck like bands such as Twisted Sister and Queer, err Queen.</p>
<p>I know a number of Musicians who cite KISS as an influence, not because of their crazy costumes or something like that but because they started with Musical talent and evolved into some of the best showmen in history.  KISS has put as much, if not more energy and resources into their stage show as they have their musical talent.  To this day, even after over 30 yrs of being in the music industry KISS still manages to put their audience in awe with their amazing stage show complete with insane lighting and pyrotechnics, a show which many bands have attempted to create but are unable to match.</p>
<p>Let’s not forget about some of the lyrics of KISS, these guys talk about parties, drugs, drinking, limousines, electric guitars, and let’s not forget about their dicks and women.  These guys have been having sex for like 40 years straight and I bet they’re having sex right this second.  These guys are living like 80% of rock musicians dreams, that is another thing that has kept them popular, peoples envy.  Let’s not forget about KISS merchandise, I can’t think of a single thing you can buy that KISS has not marketed themselves on with the exception of the obvious things like cars and houses.  You can get KISS action figures, lighters, underwear, shirts, etc.</p>
<p>So not only did these guys make a ton of money wish shows and merchandise they have influenced all sorts of musicians and captured the attention of almost 4 decades worth of fans.  They will continue to flourish as long as they keep what they’re doing.  Is KISS the greatest band of all time? No, but they are one of the most influential and successful bands of all time and a personal favorite of mine.  These are just a few of the reasons that I feel KISS is a timeless band and if you have never bothered to listen to them, don&#8217;t miss out any longer &#8212; you may find something new you have been missing out on all this time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I drive my car to and from work, to and from the store and errands I remain ever vigilant.  I’m always watching what is going on around me.  One thing I notice most, people standing in the medians asking for money.  These are men I see day in and day out sometimes, I got to thinking this morning.  Are some of these scams?</p>
<p>I say this because their are guys who won’t miss a day begging for change with their signs needing help.  If you can stand on a curb for 8 hours a day, why don’t you walk to Mc Donalds or someplace and stand their for 8 hours a day and $9 an hour? I know some of these men might be mentally ill and unable to work, but their are some that seem perfectly able to do so.</p>
<p>As both a good person and a Mason, I enjoy helping people.  I however do not promote laziness in people and if you’re physically able to stand and beg for 8 hours a day, you’re able to stand at a counter and ask if someone would like cheese with their burger.  It’s not a great job, but it would be enough to keep you off the street and median begging for coin.</p>
<p>I hate to sound insensitive to people and their problems, but I am a firm believer if I ever found myself begging for money, I’d have 5 jobs before it ever came down to it.  I’d pick up dog shit, I’d wipe asses, I’d sell burgers and fries.  I’d never be physically able to work and settle for begging.  Does that make me all high and mighty because I would not stoop to that level? No, it stands as testament that if you paddle, you won’t sink.</p>
<p>That’s all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So in honor of the passing of Wacko Jacko I decided to resurrect him in the only way I knew other than music.  I download the ROM for Michael Jackson’s MOONWALKER video game, this atrocity of a game was released on the 16 bit Sega Genesis.  So I start the ROM and instantly I hear “Smooth Criminal” playing in 16 bit.  Over and over.</p>
<p>So here is the screen at the beginning of the game, look at those graphics.  Jesus Christ &#8211; he looks worse in 16 bit than he did in person, who knew that was possible?</p>
<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gamestart.png"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gamestart.png" alt="gamestart" title="gamestart" width="600" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-422" /></a></p>
<p>The game play of this shit is both completely whack and quite ironic.  You’re Michael Jackson in a white zoot suit, moon walking around these multi story buildings saving children.  Michael only seems to save little girls which is ironic, as I don’t think that really fit his MO.  Here is a photo of him after saving a girl, odd placement of her close to his body&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gotone.png"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gotone.png" alt="gotone" title="gotone" width="600" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-423" /></a></p>
<p>OH SHIT MIKE, RUN YOU MOTHERFUCKER the cops are here.  Oh wait, those are the bad guys, yet they strikingly resemble police officers.  I think they are cops and knowing how Michael rolls they are definitely hiding these kids from him and as he finds them they have to go after him.  So these guys aren’t bad at all, they just don’t want the kids Mike is “saving” to end up fucked up like Maculay Culkin.</p>
<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/copsonmichael.png"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/copsonmichael.png" alt="copsonmichael" title="copsonmichael" width="600" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-424" /></a></p>
<p>Good thing Mike was able to take care of those pesky G men, getting in the way of his molesting.  His trusty monkey Bubbles has been dispatched as well and he’s taking NO prisoners.  I am not sure what the point of having bubbles in the game was other than to have him sit on Mike’s face as he moon walked around, come to think of it&#8230;.that must be the ONLY reason he’s in the game.  Kind of like in real life.</p>
<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/monkeyonhead.png"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/monkeyonhead.png" alt="monkeyonhead" title="monkeyonhead" width="600" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-425" /></a></p>
<p>WHAT THE FUCK MIKE?????, grown up Maculay Culkin is here and you’re not going to catch him.  He’s not going down on you, errr going down again and ending up in bed with you at Neverland.  He learned his lesson and not even Bubbles can help you catch the elusive grown Maculay Culkin.</p>
<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/boss.png"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/boss.png" alt="boss" title="boss" width="600" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-426" /></a></p>
<p>22760 points later and I am dead.  This was 20 mins of my life I can not get back and to make things worse, I’ve got the 16 bit version of smooth criminal stuck in my head and Thriller is on the radio to add insult to injury.  Rest in Peace, Wacko Jacko &#8212; this is my tribute to your odd and perverse legacy, you creep.</p>
<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gameover.png"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gameover.png" alt="gameover" title="gameover" width="600" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-427" /></a></p>
<p>Oh and here is a random photo of him humping the air, fucking weirdo!</p>
<p><a href="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/airhump.png"><img src="http://darrellmogg.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/airhump.png" alt="airhump" title="airhump" width="600" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-428" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As of late I have been watching a lot of baseball, namely SF Giants baseball.  As a child I grew up watching baseball with my grandpa and grandma.  My grandpa would always have me on his knee with that red and white can of Budweiser while watching the likes of Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire.  I have numerous high dollar rookie cards and sports memorabilia at my Mom’s house.  I have stopped watching a lot of professional sports due to several reasons, I stopped watching Basketball when I saw a player playing grab ass and shooting the shit during the National Anthem, have some respect you &#8212; you fucking mook.</p>
<p>They say that Baseball is the American past time, I cannot agree more.  Taking your family having a beer, some bbq, and some peanuts and watching the game is one of the best nights you can have as an American.  One of the other things that attracts me to Baseball other than love for the game is the patriotism of the athletes.  </p>
<p>When the National Anthem is sang and the colors presented all of the players remove their hats and most put their hands over their hearts.  Nobody is talking, playing grab ass, etc.  You may even see the song being lip synced by a few a players.  When the colors depart and the songs end, the place their hats back on and clap for the singer.  That&#8217;s part of what makes Baseball great, a lot of the players are STILL proud to be Americans &#8212; the money and fame has not consumed them so much that they forgot their roots.</p>
<p>Now I am not Baseball maniac like Max, but I am falling back in love with the sport and am happy to see that Patriotism is not dead in MLB as it is in other sports.  Baseball is truly Americas favorite past time.</p>
