I'm installing my DSL tomorrow so you might not see me around for a while. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

In the still of the night, in the world's ancient light
Where wisdom grows up in strife
My bewildering brain, toils in vain
Through the darkness on the pathways of life
Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air
Tomorrow keeps turning around
We live and we die, we know not why
But I'll be with you when the deal goes down

We eat and we drink, we feel and we think
Far down the street we stray
I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by
Things I never meant nor wished to say
The midnight rain follows the train
We all wear the same thorny crown
Soul to soul, our shadows roll
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

Well, the moon gives light and it shines by night
When I scarcely feel the glow
We learn to live and then we forgive
O'r the road we're bound to go
More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours
That keep us so tightly bound
You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

Well, I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes
I followed the winding stream
I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys
I know they're not what they seem
In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain
You'll never see me frown
I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true
And I'll be with you when the deal goes down

It's a new year! I believe Mr. Ornery asked me if I'd ever been to Times Square for New Year's Eve. And the answer is only once! And I probably wouldn't have gone that year if the people who came with me weren't from out of town! At about 12:01 AM empty champagne bottles were flying through the air! Of course it's much more controlled now (and there are many more people). Most New Yorkers have been there at least once. I think some go all the time but the majority stay away. Bloody tourists!

Goodbye 2006 and Goodbye to…

Goodbye Governor Pataki (rhymes with crappy). The whole state is in far worst shape now then when you took over. For some reason you thought reinstating the death penalty would make NY better.

Unfortunately a lot of voters believed you. So you are not entirely to blame. It was a good scam though. You did reinstate it and yet not one criminal was executed. You wasted most of this past year (and a lot of taxpayers’ money) visiting other states because you are under the delusion that you have a shot at becoming our next President! Really we don’t need another power mad dictator running things. Thanks anyway though. So here’s to your kind, the disconnected, me first politicians who care nothing about the people they are suppose to be helping. May you limp off into the obscurity you richly deserve!

Goodbye Kofi Annan. Your farewell speech really hit the nail on the head. Too bad you weren’t hit with a hammer earlier on. Ok, you want to blame everything on Bush. Why not? Everyone does. Most of the mess is his fault but considering you were involved in the biggest scandal ever to hit The United Nations isn’t this a bit of the pot calling the kettle black? Your own son, Kojo set the whole thing up. Petty dictators laughed at your so-called sanctions. You gave murderers a free run in Darfur. Yet your solution was to criticize The US. Fortunately there is a good side to all this though, Kofi old man. You have really driven home the point on just how useless The UN is and it’s gang of empty-headed morons who would rather complain than help end the suffering of the world.

Goodbye Saddam Hussein. A hemp necktie never looked so good on anyone. Though you were just a pawn in Bush’s War, you were also an evil murderous scumbag who got the justice he deserved. Your death won’t bring back the thousands you killed or stop the madness in Iraq but at least the world has one less thug to worry about.

Goodbye Gerald Ford. “He was a great patriot…a humanitarian…a loyal friend, provided of course he is really dead”…Voltaire. They say you healed America after Nixon resigned over Watergate but like all politicians you had your own agenda. Your Buddy Tricky Dicky saw the writing on the wall. After the super hypocrite Spiro Agnew resigned The Vice Presidency Dick picked you as his replacement but only under the condition that you pardon the crook once he was forced out. It was a deal you couldn’t refuse. A regular American Coup. You became the only President never to be elected by the people (well, Bush was made President by The Supreme Court but at least he ran). Fortunately the American People shot down your little takeover in the next election. You never got over it? Who gives a shit?

Well, as this year draws to an end I want to wish everyone here at Blogstream a very Happy New Year! I'm very glad I found this place even though I rarely have anything "exciting" to write about. Thanks for all the comments. As I think I once mentioned before I had a blog/journal/diary/whatever on another site for a short time but gave it up due to the inane comments left by "others". Hey, I can take criticism but insulting my mother wasn't criticism. At least all the inane comments here are funny! I'm kidding of course.... No, really I am....really. I was just joking around...

So to everyone here I would like to quote my Grandfather who always said "Enjoy life! Eat out often!"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Well, today was a pretty boring day. About the first one I've had in a long time! I didn't do too much except watch some videos and go to CVS to get a few things. Tonight though I'm going to meet some friends and eat at a place called "Big Daddy's". Love that name! Then maybe have a few drinks. Who knows?

Here are dumb "Little Tony jokes". Whoever he is...

A teacher asks her class, "If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?" She calls on little TONY.He replies, "None, they will all fly away with the first gunshot."
>
>The teacher replies, "The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking." Then little TONY says, "I have a question for YOU.
>
>There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream: One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream.
>The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone.
>The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?"

>The teacher, blushing a great deal, replied, "Well, I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone."

>To which Little TONY replied, "The correct answer is 'the one with the wedding ring on," but I like your thinking."

>LITTLE TONY ON ENGLISH

Little TONY goes to school, and the teacher says, "Today we are going to learn multi-syllable words, class. Does anybody have an example of a multi-syllable word?"

TONY says "Mas-tur-bate."

Miss Rogers smiles and says, "Wow, little TONY, that's a mouthful."

Little TONY says, "No, Miss Rogers, you're thinking of a blowjob."

LITTLE TONY ON GRAMMAR

Little TONY was sitting in class one day. All of a sudden, he needed to go to the bathroom.He yelled out, "Miss Jones, I need to take a piss!!"

The teacher replied, 'Now, TONY, that is NOT the proper word to use in this situation The correct word you want to use is 'urinate.'
Please use the word 'ur-i-nate' in a sentence correctly, and I will allow you to go."

Little TONY, thinks for a bit, and then says, "You're an eight, but if you had bigger tits, you'd be a TEN!"

LITTLE TONY ON GRAMMAR (Part 2)

One day, during lessons on proper grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands from those who could use the word "beautiful" in the same sentence twice.

First, she called on little Suzie, who responded with, "My father bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it."

"Very good, Suzie," replied the teacher. She then called on little Michael.

"My mommy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out beautifully."

She said, "Excellent, Michael!" Then the teacher reluctantly called on little TONY.

"Last night at the dinner table, my sister told my father that she was pregnant, and he said 'Beautiful, just f...... beautiful!'"

LITTLE TONY ON GETTING OLDER

Little TONY was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another. After the 6th one a man on the bench across from him said, "Son, you know eating all that candy isn't good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat."

Little TONY replied, "My grandfather lived to be 107 years old."

The man asked, "Did your grandfather eat 6 candy bars at a time?"

Little TONY answered, "No, he minded his own f...... business.
