BREAKING BAD ON ELECTION DAY

Today is election day, November 8th 2011 and I'm not gonna vote.  Why?, you say.  Your vote counts!  I say...FUCK THAT!

I never vote.  Well, not never.  When I turned 18 years old I voted for the first time.  It was 1981 and my mother dragged my skinny white ass down to the polls to vote for Walter Mondale for the President of the United States.  He was running against Republican (and former actor Ronald Reagan.)  Well my mother and I (along with a few other 

people) seemed to be the only ones to vote for him.  Reagan won by a landslide!  I stopped voting.  12 or so years later my housemate and fellow actor asked me who I was going to vote for Mayor of New York City.  I told him I don't vote.  What's the point?  My one vote won't change an election.  After hearing him go on and on and on, I registered and voted for David Dinkins because he was running against Rudy Giuliani, a republican, and a fellow Italian who, b

efore he became Mayor (again, by a landslide) he prosecuted a number of high profile cases, including ones against organized crime putting away some of my peeps and 

relatives.  That was the last time I voted and it will remain the last time I will ever vote.  The whole system is corrupt.  TOTALLY CORRUPT!  Wait........There is someone that I would vote for if he was still alive.  William Poole...............................................................................a.k.a.   Bill the Butcher

11-1-11 LUCKY'S DAY YO!

Lucky Parenti turns 12 years old today.  All Saints Day.  I will turn 12 years old this leap year, 2-29-12.  Lucky and I will both be 12 years old in the 12th year of our new century.  This whole universe is run by numbers and this is no exception.  I will really turn 48 in the 12th year.  4 plus 8 is 12.  I could go on and on but you get the point.  I posted 11 recent pictures of Lucky on this post and one (that makes 12) of Lucky as a pup (black and white photo).  Looks like she's aging quite well!

Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Lucky

   

Lucky will turn 10 years old on November 1st.  All souls day.

She is the greatest dog who ever lived and I'm lucky to have her every day of my life.

Summer of Rain

  Halfway through the summer we were at what was to be the 'summer of celebrity death'.  Famous people, dropping like flies from the start of the summer going into August.  Then it just stopped.  Celebrities stopped dying.  There were two more, maybe three, worth mentioning since my last post.  Senator Edward Kennedy, folk singer Peter Seeger and as I predicted, Patrick Swayze, who made it in just under the wire a few days before summer officially ended.

Because of this lack of continuing death and the increasing amount of continuing rain, the summer of 2009 will be known as the 'summer of rain'.  We managed to stay clear of the rain on our month long holiday only catching two rainy weekend days.  As you can see from the pictures, Lucky catching some rays on the deck of the vacation house, Heather wearing her heart on her sleeve and me with the union jack on my chest.

SUMMER OF CELEBRITY DEATH

With the summer halfway over it seems like this is the summer of celebrity death........and the summer of rain.  

The summer of 2009 kicked off with the king of pop, Michael Jackson, leading the pack.  He died about 5 hours after Farrah Fawcett on June 25th but totally buried her with all of the press.  Farrah has been fighting cancer for some time and made a film about her struggle.  I am sure she wanted the world to greave about her after her death and making this film she would have one last chance in the limelight.  The world and the underworld doesn't work that way and Michael Jackson needed to die to save us the press about Farrah.  She made her "I'm dying" film and that was more than enough so, enough about Farrah.  After Mr. Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon joined the list. Good. Now I can cross him off my death list.  He's been on it for as long as I can remember or when I made my first death list at age 7.  He was listed right after Johnny Carson.  My death list has many non famous people on it and If I ever told you you've "just made da list pal"  that meant your ass!

To date, the summer of celebrity death has a dozen or so notable deaths and they include, Billy Mays......"Billy Mays here to tell you about Oxy-Clean!"  I'm glad I don't have to listen to that bullshit anymore and what was with the beard and blue shirt?  I didn't know you personally and I'm glad I didn't.  I hope they take you off TV now that your dead.  David Carradine joined the list.  I grew up watching "Cain walking the earth, looking for adventures".  Other celebrity deaths so far this summer include; Steve McNair, Dom DeLuise, Karl Malden, Walter Cronkite, Arturo Gatti and director John Hughes who I met back in the early nineties.

With about six weeks left in the summer I have some predictions of my own.  These people are not on my death list and I don't wish them death, they're just my predictions, that's all.  

Patrick Swayze

Fidel Castro

Amy Winehouse

Nic Nolte

Gene Hackman

Osama Bin Laden.....That would be a big death to end the summer!   Oh yeah, let us hope that it stops raining already I've got holiday coming up.

R.I.P. JACKSON I'LL FOREVER DANCE TO UR MUSIC
