SCUMBAG SERIAL RAPIST
I was out and about in Denver on Friday February 18th, visiting normsquatch, who
lives two blocks away from 10th Avenue and Marion Street, where police were
searching the area for scumbag suspected serial rapist Brent J. Brents. The
ghetto birds were out in force. Ghetto birds are slang for police helicopters.
The police were stopping cars in the area. They did not stop me. I don’t look
shady. ha!
They caught the scumbag the next day. He has been charged with 80 felony charges
stemming from attacks on eight people in five different incidents. One of them
involving a 67-year-old woman and two of her granddaughters, both 11-years-old!!
Read the scumbag’s charges:
He faces 24 counts of sexual assault, seven counts of second-degree kidnapping,
one count of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of sexual assault on a
child, two counts of child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury, one count
of second-degree assault, four counts of first-degree burglary, four counts of
aggravated robbery, one count of aggravated motor vehicle theft, eight counts of
menacing, one count of vehicular eluding, one count of false imprisonment, five
counts of habitual sexual offender against children and 18 counts of crime of
violence.
Even his own mother said Brents was 10 the first time he hit her and by the time
he was 12, he'd thrown her across a room, given her black eyes and knocked her
unconscious. His sister said her brother "deserves to die." This scumbag’s own
family hates him. They must have hated him since birth, because who would name
their son Brent Brents?
He will never see the light of day again. Did I mention he was grubby, smutzig,
scumbag? What possesses people to do such horrible things? Read about the
charges here at the good ol' Denver Post.

The Big Move 2005
I have moved into my own place. It's a quaint little garden-level
studio/basement apartment near Washington Park (over 100 years old!) and the
University of Denver.
Here is brief photomontage showing the shambles and not-quite-unpacked chaos of
the new apartment:

Poor Quality Photomontage of RAD apartment
It’s going to be so nice finally living on my own. I have always had a roommate
in some capacity or another. I love this place. There are so many things I need
to purchase. My first big purchase will be a microwave and a vacuum. The privacy
will allow me to finish my book. I NEED TO FINISH MY BOOK!

1.21 jiggowatts
My favorite movie of all time is 1985’s Back to the Future. I used to run around
dressed as Marty McFly from the life preserver to the calculator watch to the
massive 1980’s sunshades. I have always been fascinated with time travel. I want
a DeLorean.
What if your favorite movie of all time? Any genre. Pick one. Do it.

A Benjamin
Do you know it is impossible to spend a hundred dollar bill in Denver at 6
o’clock in the morning? I needed breakfast and gas this AM and had to go to 4
different places before I could get change.
It was disturbingly difficult to talk to the store clerks because most were
speaking a mix of Spanish, English and something Middle Eastern. I had to flash
the cash to get any sort of information out from them. I ended up at a ghetto
7-11 where I purchased a pack of gum and a cup of nasty, coffee-ground-filled
coffee. I was supposed to receive 97 dollars in change and the timed safe
thingie, which usually dispenses 20-dollar bills, was only dispensing 5-dollar
bills. I had to wait 16 minutes for the damn thing to spit out all of my change.
After finally filling up my gas tank, I was almost late for work. Almost late
means 10 minutes early because I usually get to work 30 minute early. I am
punctual.

The Eye Patch
Before I had glasses, when I was in first grade, I had a lazy eye and had to go
to eye therapy several times a week. To help solve this problem, I was forced to
wear an eye patch over my right eye. While this sounds like a cool thing, it was
far from good.
I can only imagine how my large youthful head looked with an eye patch
encircling it. I know the patch was freakishly hefty on me. I must have had an
extra large.
I was made fun of mercilessly. Comments like, “Hee hee you’re a pirate,” as I
was being kicked down the stairs and “It’s not Halloween, why are you wearing an
eye patch?” as I was being shoved to the pebbly ground in the play area and
“You’re such a geek for wearing an eye patch,” asshole classmate Rudolph would
say as he took the cheeseburger from my lunch tray and shoved it into his filthy
gob.
The pointing and laughter didn’t help me adjust to the eye patch either. My
teachers would try to help me in my grief, but they only made it worse with
mistake comments, “Yes One-Eyed Russie, the answer to number 12 is 387. Good for
you Bloody Russell Rackham. You get a star. Arg!”
I hope none of your children ever have to wear an eye patch while attending
public elementary school.

Bush administration kicks science in the rear
Oh boy. I could have told you this one. The Bush administration is stifling
science. Bush's proposed 2005 federal budget is slashing spending for basic
research and reducing investments in education designed to produce the nation's
future scientists.
This isn’t new news. On April 29, 2002, during Bush’s first four years, NASA
announced the cancellation of the X-38 program. The X-38 was two years short of
completing its flight test phase. The X-38 Crew Return Vehicle would have been a
lifeboat for up to 7 people aboard the International Space Station Alpha.
Currently there is nothing but a 3 person Russian capsule and this severely
limits the amount of people to be stationed in orbit.
The long, hard, cold road to future scientific breakthroughs from this great
country is becoming more and more riddled with obstacles.
In quazi-good news, NASA has received a budget boost. Most of the new money will
be going to the space shuttle, ISS Alpha and Bush's plan to explore the moon and
Mars. What is suffering is the space agency's scientific research efforts. I
think the Bush administration is taking the wrong approach to the moon/Mars
initiative, but I am happy that something is being done. We need a human
presence on Mars. It will be the greatest adventure in the history of humankind.

niggardly
Per normsquatch's request, the word of the day is niggardly
niggardly
[pn] Grudging and petty in giving or spending. Meanly small; scanty or meager.
Use niggardly in a sentence. Here are my contributions:
1.) "The cook dished out a niggardly sum of gruel," said normsquatch.
2.) Washington, DC's black Mayor, Anthony Williams, gladly accepted the
resignation of his white staff member, David Howard, because Mr. Howard uttered
the word 'niggardly' in a private staff meeting. Webster's Tenth Edition defines
the word 'niggardly' to "grudgingly mean about spending or granting". The
Barnhard Dictionary of Etymology traces the origins of 'niggardly' to the
1300's, and to the words 'nig' and 'ignon', meaning "miser" in Middle English.
Nowhere in any of these references is any mention of racial connotations
associated with the word 'niggardly'. In other words, it's a perfectly good and
useful word.
3.) To scoff at political correctness, I left a niggardly tip for the horrible
service at Waffle House.
4.) I’m cuckoo for niggardly.

What A World Part II
The Durango cookie anxiety attack lady has been getting crank calls. Her spirit,
her soul, is damaged.
I know why her soul is harmed and tainted black. She took two teenagers to court
and they were ordered to pay $930 in medical bills because she claimed the
delivery of a plate of cookies scared her so much that she went to the hospital.
Because of all of the negative attention she has received, she hasn't returned
to her part-time job at the Wal-Mart (that explains it all) and might have to
give up the presidency and her seat on the board of the local food bank because
of the harmful attention she's received. She needs to expel cookie donations
from the food bank if she ever wants any semblance of normalcy to return to her
life.
She's received hundreds of crank calls, along with truckloads of weird and
wonderful packages, some containing cookies or cookie crumbs. It’s hilarious.
"All this over cookies," she said. "Our home is like a funeral parlor. They've
robbed us of our laughter. My spirit, my soul, is damaged."
Here is a hypothetical crank call from me to the cookie hater lady:
RING RING

Hello lady?

Yes?

Why you hate cookie?

Hello?

COOKIE! YOU HATE COOKIE! WHY?

My soul is damaged.

Cookie haters will burn in the Hades.

My…my…chest…a pain in my chest…my hand is tingling…

Try Girl Scout Cookies. They heal haters.

You people have robbed me of my laughter!

You make me laugh Cookie Hater. Do they sell cookies at Wal-Mart?

Leave me alone!!!

I want generous supplies of cheap Wal-Mart cookies for free.

I am hanging up now.

Fine. I’m cuckoo for cookies. Bababooey.

giving a shit
Someone once said to me, "You can take that poem you wrote and shove it up your
ass because you don't give a shit about anything."
Harsh words. Damaging words. Painful words. They were words that broke my
"impenetrable" heart.
Words are wonderful although scary things. Being a writer, I know the power of
words. It's amazing how something as lowly as a comma can change the whole
meaning of a sentence, making it have unintended meaning. Some text can be
misread. Other vocabulary is inappropriate to use under any circumstances like
the colorful "fuck you."
Words and communication are key to every situation. Although I see myself as a
"master" of words, I still have far to go and much to learn. I just need to
remember to think before I speak most of the time.
For the record: I have never shoved anything up my ass, let alone something I
took great care, pride, thought and love in writing. And the fact of the matter
is that I do give a shit.

Build your own Block I Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC)
Build your own Block I Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) in your basement. The AGC
is the flight computer for the Apollo moon landings, with one unit in the
command module and one in the LEM. Facinating stuff.

It's a piece of computing history. It had a one-megahertz processor, one
kilobyte of random-access memory and 12 kilobytes of read-only memory. Typical
desktop computers today have about 1,000 times the processor speed and about
500,000 times the RAM and have dropped ROM for hard drives with millions of
times the capacity. Build one today. Do it.

Transformers and Legos and Gobots Oh My
Toys. I played with many coolie toys when I was a youth child. Mainly
Transformers, Legos and Gobots. Transformers were my favorite. I once had a
birthday slumber party in which I received the ultra cool Decepticon Soundwave
and screamed and danced around the room as if I had won the lottery.
Soundwave is a Generation One Transformer. I tore open the gift so fast that the
box was shredded. I hoisted Soundwave on high, howling in childish jubilee while
my little friends ogled the triumphant gift. I of course hoarded it to myself
that night, even bedding down with the beloved Transformer toy; sleeping soundly
with it by my side, it’s plastic form scrapping and cutting me in my sleep.
Good times. Good times.

Girl Scout Cookies®
It’s that time of year again friends. Girl Scout Cookies®!!! Yes! Girl Scout
Cookies®!!! My favorite were once called Tagalongs®, then Peanut Butter Patties®
and now they’re Tagalongs®/Peanut Butter Patties®. Regardless of their
registered trademark name, the crunchy vanilla cookies layered with bona fide
peanut butter and comprehensively covered with a chocolaty coating have me
dancing with jubilee every year. 2005 is no different, as I choreographed a
euphoric jig yesternight while lording over several boxes of Tagalongs®/Peanut
Butter Patties®.

Russ’ box of Tagalongs®/Peanut Butter Patties®
Here are the best selling Girl Scout Cookies® varieties:
25% Thin Mints
19% Samoas®/Caramel deLites™
13% Peanut Butter Patties®/Tagalongs®
11% Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos™
09% Shortbread/Trefoils
Bis-grav Cookies®/Southern Mornin’ Formal Meal deLites® -- The Biscuit and Gravy
Cookie
Suggestions for new cookies are welcome, but the national Girl Scout
organization can make no promise to use them.
That’s unfortunate because I have an idea for a biscuit and gravy-flavored
cookie that I am sure would break all sorts of cookie selling records. Once you
bite into my buttermilky/flaky cookie, a sweet sausage gravy-like liquid bursts
from the center and dribbles down your front. My biscuit and gravy cookies will
also have a dual name and be called Bis-grav Cookies®/Southern Mornin’ Formal
Meal deLites®.

RAY and THE AVIATOR
I have recently seen two of the Best Picture nominations for the 77th Annual
Academy Awards on Sunday February 27, 2005. I will write brief reviews for the
two very different biopics “Ray” and “The Aviator.”

SUPERBOWL XXXIX snacks
I write these reviews while at work watching Super Bowl XXXIX and feasting on
Rocky Mountain Oysters and hot wings, a staple in movie review writing and Super
Bowl watching. I have placed a bet that The Philadelphia Eagles will beat the
New England Patriots. As of this writing, the Pats are winning 14-7. I really
hope I win my bet…
“Ray”
Director Taylor Hackford tackled “Ray,” a movie about the life and career of
legendary music pianist Ray Charles. It has received six Academy Award
nominations. Jamie Foxx plays Ray, and let me tell you that I believe that Foxx
deserves the Oscar for best actor. I was watching the movie and thought I was
really watching Ray Charles as if the filmmakers traveled back in time to
capture him in his prime.
Foxx did a wonderful job capturing Charles’ mannerisms and voice. Foxx’s voice
was occasionally blended with Charles’ for the film’s songs, but from my
research and according to the film’s credits, it was Ray Charles’ voice in most
of the songs. Foxx does play the piano in real life.
This movie brought to light a lot of information about Charles as a person. I
was unaware of Charles’ 20-year addiction to heroin, his promiscuity and
aggressive approach to business. The movie even made me dig out an old Ray
Charles CD from my storage unit CD stack and I’ve been listening to it for days
on my MP3 player. Check out “Ray.” It’s a must see.
“The Aviator”
And then comes Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator.”
Marty Scorsese is one of my favorite directors. There is not one film of his
that I do not like. I particularly enjoyed “Gangs of New York,” “Goodfellas,”
and of course “Casino.” “The Aviator” is about director and aviator Howard
Hughes' career from the late 1920's to the mid-1940's. Leonardo DiCaprio plays
Hughes. DiCaprio and Scorsese have become quite the excellent filmmaking team. A
lot of people may be down on Leo, but Scorsese is a brilliant director and can
bring out spectacular performances in anyone. DiCaprio gives an Oscar worthy
performance, but I believe he will be beaten by Foxx this time around. Hughes
was an odd fellow.
“The Aviator” is a beautifully shot period piece. Under Scorsese’s wonderful
direction, the editing and cinematography are first-rate, the production design,
costumes and makeup are lavish. The filmmakers have created a world of rich and
lavish color, of excitement and glamour. The soundtrack is fantastic, as I am
keen on this period in American history. Particularly the 1940’s. I think I was
alive in the 1940’s in another lifetime. Cate Blanchett does a superb job
playing the husky-voiced and charming Katharine Hepburn. Look for finicky cameos
by Brent “Lt. Commander Data” Spiner and hottie Gwen Stefani.
DiCaprio and Scorsese are collaborating again in “The Departed,” a remake of the
2002 Hong Kong hit with Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg.
It’ll be DiCaprio vs Foxx at the Academy Awards. We shall see who wins…

Mars heat shield impact
Here is a neat picture of the heat shield impact site of NASA's Mars Exploration
Rover Opportunity. Click on the image for a larger version.

Image credit: NASA/JPL/Cornell
On the left, the main heat shield piece is inverted and reveals its metallic
insulation layer, glinting in the sunlight. The main piece stands about 1 meter
tall (about 3.3 feet) and about 13 meters (about 43 feet) from the rover.
The other large, flat piece of debris near the center of the image is about 14
meters (about 46 feet) away. The circular feature on the right side of the image
is the crater made by the heat shield's impact. It is about 2.8 meters (9.2
feet) in diameter but only about 5 to 10 centimeters (about 2 to 4 inches) deep.
The crater is about 6 meters (about 20 feet) from Opportunity in this view.
Smaller fragments and debris can be seen all around the impact site.
The Mars Rovers are alive after more than a year on the surface! Follow the
mission.

short. He’ll be better at sports than I was.

what a world
We live in a world where teenagers doing a summertime good deed by making
cookies and delivering them to nine scattered rural homes south of Durango,
Colorado, get fined $900 because some 49-year-old woman idiot became so
terrified by the knocks on her door around 10:30 p.m. that she called the
sheriff's department.
To top it all off, she then ended up in the hospital emergency room the next day
after suffering a severe anxiety attack. The girls who made the cookies did so
without malicious intent, they just delivered them at a late hour.
Has this anxiety attack lady ever heard of using the door peephole? How about
hollering through the door to see who’s there whilst brandishing a knife and/or
shotgun? It is rural Colorado after all. I thought all ruralies had some sort of
means to protect themselves in case a brown bear came a knockin’ at 10:30 p.m.
If this lady had communicated on even a minimal level at the start, all of this
hoopla would not have been necessary. She was probably hunkered in a closet
awaiting a painful death.
I get anxiety attacks when I get down to ½ roll of toilet paper left on the
spindle.

chicken skins
Wouldn't it be breathtaking if you could go to the grocery store and buy sheets
of chicken skin to take home and deep fry?
Yes it would be. Then one could create, prepare, season and serve the well done
chicken skins to their liking in the comfort of their own home without ridicule
or shame. It would be glorious.
Chicken skin stands would bank on the beach. Viva fried chicken skin!

Hostage Doll
You know things in Iraq are improving when the Al Mujahedeen Brigade threatens
to behead a "Special Ops Cody” action figure meant to look like a U.S. soldier
who might be serving in Iraq. The photograph, posted on an Islamist Web site,
showed the doll sitting against a black flag with white lettering reading, "God
is great, there is no god but Allah." The US military reports no units have
reported anyone missing.

Special Ops Cody is being held hostage
Please Al Mujahedeen Brigade! I beg that you spare the life of this innocent
dollie! Action figures around the world quake at your mightiness.
“It’s a complete and utter embarrassment to the fellows of the Al Mujahedeen
Brigade I must say,” said Ed Grimley.
Al Mujahedeen Brigade, you show great prowess with your ability to score such a
precious action figure and then parade his innocent facade about the ‘net. I’m

mental evaluation
Oh that wacky Boyd Owens. He loomed at the podium yelling obscenities in the
Oregon Senate chamber yesterday. He talked to himself and smoked a cigarette for
over an hour while holding a knife to his chest.
He gave up without a struggle however.

Wacky Boyd Owens
Madcap Boyd Owens was charged with criminal mischief, menacing and disorderly
conduct. Wild Boyd Owens was taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation. State
records show he’s been convicted of drunken driving, assault, drug possession
and theft in the past. A real winner this Boyd Owens must be. Strive to be like
him.
Off the wall Boyd Owens looks like Killer Bob in Twin Peaks minus the jean
jacket.
