Good to meet you, Elmer

Kokomo Tribune; Kokomo, Indiana - Elmer Herman Oaks Sr.

There is no easy way to break this too you.....but I like reading the obits. Just the people who die when they are up there in age. I think older folks are a source of knowledge you can't find in a book. I found this obit today and I thought this would be a man I would like to know, he could have been a rotten old coot but for my purposes he is just someone I would have loved to sit down and talk to. It seems like he lived a very hard working, interesting life. Older people usually have the best names too, names that have just gone out of style. Check this guy out! imagine the stories he could tell.

weekend movie quotes

Cold Mountain:

They made the weather then they stand outside and say shit it's raining

He's so full of manure, we could plant him and grow another one


Will Ferell:
You are a smelly pirate hooker

Dear tiny Jesus, with your golden, fleece diapers, with your tiny fat balled up fist.


Last of the Mohicans:
Someday I think you and I are going to have a serious disagreement
No, you submit, do you hear? You be strong, you survive, you say alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you, no matter how long it takes, now matter how far. I will find you.

Meet the spectacle of the day-Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle, I think this story is awful. Oh everyone is talking about it under the guise of she has a great voice but the reality of it is that people are saying that Susan, in the package she was born in, is totally unacceptable and how much they are taken back by her voice, basically an ugly candy with a nice beautiful center. How much is damage is being done to this woman with all the air time discussions? The focus is now removed from her voice. Blogs a blazin' ,talking about not judging the standard book by it's cover. They are in a sense saying, hey you- British girl, you are ugly and we are surprised you could do that. As if talent can only come in a certain form. Why isn't the discussion about her talent? So, we as a society have learned how to take a really great moment and throw rocks at it. The arrogance we show in declaring a person's value is amazing. Let's be honest, we are turning this woman's proud moment into a freak show. In the end, I think it will be interesting to see what happens to her music career. Will she be given the opportunity to use her obvious gift? It doesn't look promising- but then again isn't that what started this whole business?
