Then I wanna be Right. One of my parental figures asked me today "Whats your take on Rev Wright?" I thought about it and this is my take on Rev Wright:
DATE: BIBLICAL TIMES
IDIOTIC OFFENSE: Children with Cerebral Palsy are accused of being possessed by demons. Some are killed.
EXCUSE: It was thousands of years ago. Folks didn't know better. Lack of Science
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATE: 1692
IDIOTIC OFFENSE: Women who had high I Q's or women who proved to be as capable as men were accused of being witches and are hanged!! Hanged!!
EXCUSE: I guess an excuse could be that it was 1692 and science and sociology has
not been introduced to these people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATE: 2008
IDIOTIC OFFENSE: Rev Wright says that the goverment created AIDS and that the United States deserved 911
EXCUSE: Excuse? It's 2008 you hypocritical devisive idiot. There is NO excuse...sheesh.

In the interest of fairness
and a nod to my father who is catholic, and a good one at that, I gotta say I was impressed at the Popes recent comments regarding the Church's history of ignoring or trying to cover up child molestation scandals that seem to go as far back as Adam and Steve. The Dangerous lives of Choir boys indeed. Anyway...so unless he has said something hateful and ignorant within the last few days, I have to give credit where credit is due. Of all the things he could have said, he at least took responsibility for the Church's actions. And he should he's, the Pope! Then again maybe the Vatican's spin masters made him make that statement to try and put to finally silence all the criticism the Catholic church has gotten.
But I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and be positive cuz my dad would.

End of Week Stuff
ITEM: Star Jones and Al get divorced! And I thought those crazy kids had a chance. It's a real shame when a narcissistic annoying has been talk show host can't marry a gay as hell opportunistic former drag queen and make it work. Oh well maybe Terry McMillan's ex is available.
ITEM: On a serious note, RIP to Orish from the rnb group 702 (Steelo, Where My Girls at) who died this week at age of 27. Real talented and cute. Sigh.
ITEM: Yo Obama I'm trying to stick with you but Rev Wright is making it hella hard. Rev Wright as you know is Obama's (hopefully) former pastor who made some rather aggressive statements concerning 911. I also recently learned that he was one of the pastors who said that hurricane Katrina was Gods punishment on New Orleans for having so many gay men. If that's the case shouldn't San Francisco and Atl be under the sea by now? Idiot.
ITEM! Salt N Pepa have a NEW album coming out called "Sweet Life" my fave rap group of all time. Go ladies!
ITEM! If God can do anything, can he create a rock to big for him to lift?
ITEM! These Crazy ass polygamist broads. Every time I see them on tv they become more and more pathetic. This one lady today was like "The feds took my child out of my hands. She is only four and was screaming for me! If she was in danger here would she be screaming for me? WTF? Bitch if Jeffery Dahmer had a four year old and the feds came and took her she would scream and holla. Kids do that. They are to young to realize what idiots their parents are.
have a nice weekend y'all

Negative attack ads they should have used
I keep hearing how negative and nasty this race for the president has become, but all I see are missed opportunities. So all you campaign managers out there, I will give you some help. Ready?
MCCAIN NEGATIVE ATTACK ADS!
"Want more of the same? Vote McCain?"
"Like acid Rain? Vote McCain!"
"Miss Bush's brain? Vote McCain!!"
"Want a Prez with varicose veins? Vote McCain!"
OBAMA NEGATIVE ATTACK ADS
CHANGE
(is all you crackers will have in your pocket if I'm elected)
YES WE CAN!
(take this affirmative action thing all the way to the White House)
HILARY NEGATIVE ATTACK ADS
Hilary puts the Clit in Clinton
Hilary for President? Well at least its not Duff.
Oh, the Asbestos pantsuit on a frigid ice queen? There is a joke in there somewhere but damned if I can figure it out.

I freakin HATE the first day of a new job
I mean I like actively hate it. And let me tell you, although I am a writer by trade, writing songs and blogs and treatments to screenplays pays me just about enough to pay one bill. My cable bill. And I get free cable. So like everyone else I'm forced to hall my non typing non spelling non conformist ass to an office everyday, and since I'm a temp working for a temp service...I have a LOT of first days. Like today. And I hate them. Am I the only office working cubicle dwelling zombie who hates these first day rituals?
#1 The introductions. Or to be more specific "Ok I want everyone in the new training class to stand up and introduce yourself and tell us one thing about yourself. "My name is Greg. One interesting thing about me? Hmmm...Oh ever since i stopped smoking crack I found I have much more money to invest in Al-Qaeda" That joke either makes people really really like me, or it gets me on the no fly list.
#2 The Co-workers. Well in my office today there were 55 people. 30 of them were black women. 10 of them were black gay men (queens) 10 were middle aged white southern soccer moms 4 were straight black men and one was me. As far as potential drama goes, those statistics are like the perfect storm for office drama. The black chics either try to get with you on the romance tip (ewww girls, guess it takes all kinds)force you to admit your gay, or they get mad because you don't jock them all day. The gay boys are either trying to get with you, or act like stuck up queens and hate on you cuz you don't give them the time of day. The straight black dudes talk about all the women in the office they want/have had and the middle aged white women say extremely passive aggressive offensive statements that seem like compliments but are really hidden digs "You speak so well Greg" "Oh you have no kids and your in 30's? Wow how did you manage that?' I don't stick my dick in females, that's how.
#3 The trainer/supervisor. I always get the extremes. Either they are so incompetent that they train you horribly, leaving very important steps out, so when you try to do your job on your own you do it wrong, and look like an idiot. If you tell your boss "Sandy didn't show me that" you look like a snitching, cry baby idiot. The other extreme is the trainer is soooo good at there job and they just HAVE to prove how smart they are by giving you so much information in one day that you absorb none of it.
I could go on (and on) about learning how to make coffee, break room etiquette ect...but I just left the hell that was my first day, and I need a drink. Since I can't smoke crack anymore guess I'll write a check out to Abdullah yusef Azzam and call it a freakin day.

More stuff
I guess this will be another odds n ends unfocused entry. I have been working hard on writing stand up, a treatment for a screenplay and auto-bio so I have been neglecting my blog like I neglect my children by leaving them in the hot SUV while I shop at Krogers (sorry)....so without further delay:
The Pope is coming! The Pope is coming! Yeah! That former member of Hitler youth and leader of the Catholic Church (or as I call it "The largest corporate sponsor and advocate for child molestation" is going to visit the white house! Yay oppression!!
Hil and Obama are going to destroy themselves and hand this country back to the idiots. I see it coming and it sucks. I like both Hil and Barak both LESS now than I did 3 months ago. Good job guys.
I was watcthing those crazy ass polygamist women bitching about how unfair it was that their kids got taken away by the feds. This one bonnet clad woman actually said "Because of the US govt, my kids are being exposed to things they have never seen before. They had Never seen a gun before until the feds showed up" uh...yeah lady they might be 11 years old and have never seen a gun but I'm pretty sure they have seen a grown man naked at age 11 you bonnet wearing child pimping freak!!! God these people are ass backwards. Between the polygamist and the Catholic priests its a wonder any of these kids make it to age 18 without being molested by all these "God Fearing" holy types. Assholes.
Speedracer! Looks good! Its being produced and directed by the same two brothers who created the Matrix trilogy! Go Speed Racer, GO!

I'm like the worst blogger ever....
So much has been happening in the world big and small and I have been the most inconsistent, unreliable blogger ever. Special thanks to all of those people who have emailed me and let me know how much they miss Off Da Chain. Working on a lot of new stuff but until that's ready lets have another round of Odds and Ends.
ITEM! Entertainment- Charleston Heston dies! Oddly enough no gun was found in his cold dead hands
ITEM:Politics- Total number of white friends I have learned are passive aggressive racist due to the Rev Wright scandal and I can be friends with no longer? 3 crackers! Total amount of time that it bothered me? 3 hours....
ITEM: Music- despite my disdain for Sean P Diddy Combs, i gotta admit I am really digging both Danity Kane and Day 26 new albums. Danity Kane A Day 26 B. I wonder how 112 feels when they turn on MTV and see these Day 26 dudes doing their Shtick to videos with higher production values?
ITEM: TV - HBO's The Wire concluded its 5 year run. With out a doubt the best written and acted television show. Ever. Yes I said it, so do most critics. What made it so good? A superb multi-ethnic cast that made u believe that you were a voyeur into the inner workings of Baltimore's legal system, drug trade educational breakdown and media hypocrisy. The thing about the Wire that I loved was it treated all of it's characters be it cop, drug dealer or drug addict as flawed well rounded characters capable of doing both good and bad. Ya know, sorta like real life.
ITEM: Movies- So they are re-making Prom Night? Prom Night is a cheesy, very bad Halloween rip off from 1980 (even has Jamie Lee Curtis in it.) I mean the movie features Leslie Neilson before he turned to parody and started doing all those Naked Gun movies. Problem is he acts like he is in a parody, like 5 years too soon! The only good thing about the first Prom Night was the first 10 mins, and the fact that it had Jamie Lee in it as the Final Girl. So unless Jamie Lee is appearing in the remake as the great grandmother of the Final Girl, chances are this remake will suck beyond the telling.
ITEM: Comics- Marvel Comics has begun its big summer crossover Secret Invasion! It seems a bunch of Marvel Superheroes have been replaced years ago by the evil alien shape shifting Skrulls (I'm not fittin to explain who the Marvel Superheros are or who the Skrull are, I'm a comic book fan so I'm assuming u know that and expect such geek moments fronm time to time. If u don't know look it up damn it, your already on line if your reading t5his. Do i look like Wikipedia? Just because Google and Greg both start with G's doesn't make me your search engine ya lazy bastards!) What was I talking about again? Oh yeah Secret Invasion. Evil Aliens replacing Superheroes! Who do you trust? Its good. Get it. (oh, and for my money I think the entire cast of 7th Heaven after Jessica Beal left were Skrulls. They didn't seem like real people.)
ITEM: MY Life- Well I'm still black and gay, which the combo? Sucks sometimes. On one hand there is still a very good chance I will get 40 Acres and a mule if reparations ever come thru but then again I have to burn in hell for all eternity for being light in the loafers. Its always something
