The most exquisite form of chadenfreude

Knowing that they’ll regret having sent that drunken txt not only because you read it…
But because now everyone can…
Because you posted it online:

Effects We Can Expect.

I recently heard a discussion on Gay Marriage and the effects, I have heard much on both sides. I was directed to this document that has been used in the Court of Law to give evidence in several States on the long term effects of Gay Marriage and Civil Unions as a protected status. (There are no Laws making Gay Marriage Legal in any States, they are only Court decisions blocking Laws to define Marriage as One man-one woman, remember that). I am glad to see so many warm and fuzzies about Gay Marriage but I am pragmatic and believe in Truth and facts. Here are facts in an article written by a Massachussetts citizen:

Get out mah bidness!(a note on gay marriage)

Continuing our pioneering history in the realm of civil rights, Iowa’s Supreme Court recently struck down a law defining a marriage as between a man and a woman as unconstitutional. To that I say, amen.

Seriously-the sooner the better.

I may catch hell for posting under someone elses catagory, but this rant is NOT going to be charming-even by my standards.

I got a call from my mom today saying she’s ben in an accident. I arrived on the scene (which made the news) to find the back end of my mom’s car destroyes and my mom’s face bashed up from cheekbone to forehead. Her car was totaled in the 4 car pileup. The person who smashed into her at 65 (!!) miles per hour drove away after hitting her so hard that she spun into oncoming traffic.

What kind of a person DOES  that?!

I took her to the ER, she doesn’t have a concussion, but irt breaks my hear to see her smashed up face. I couldn’t hold her tight enough.

So, whoever the hit-and-run-ner is:

Die in a fire.

I’m cursing you.

“The Enigma” 101-Extreme Style

banner2

I had the rare joy of interviewing The Enigma a few weeks ago before he and his partner in crime, clothing designer and side show siren Serana Rose hit VEISHA like a freight train. No words can do a show like theirs justice, but a visit to their site can explain their “Sideshow Devil” antics far more clearly than I. If ever there was a show that could fill up a website, it’s The Electric Acid Theater!

During our interview we discussed his unusual look. As you can see, this guy has gon far beyond what your average Joe to create a personal style that is all his own. Though most people believe that fashion is a form of self expression, The Enigma takes is to a whole new level, alowing his own body to be a masterpiece collaborated on by hundreds of artists worldwide.

David Haack asks “Who Am I?”

Saturday night the David Haack Trio released their new CD, “Who Am I” to an enthusiastic audience at Java Joe’s 4th St. Theater. The Trio is David Haack as the lead singer and guitarist, Colin Peterson on bass, and Patrick Baker on drums. Joining them for the show was tenor sax man Michael Chesnik. Chesnik, an Iowa native, now resides in Japan where he plays with jazz groups. His guest spot with the Trio is one of several performances this week, mostly centering around his alma mater at Ankeny High School.

The CD Release show had a rollicking party atmosphere, with nearly every seat in the 4th St. Theater filled and lots of shuffling back and forth to the counter at Java Joe’s for drinks and snacks. Whether folks were listening attentively from their seats or mingling around the edges of the room, they were clearly moved and driven by the music.
