	OK. In the spirit good will, I removed a "rant" concerning the theft of images by a really pathetic individual for use on a goofy little home page. I got to thinking about it, and considering the fact that maybe 3 people will ever see it anyway, why should I care? Also, don't you think that we should have compassion for those less fortunate than ourselves? Hmmm? Don't you? You know. Folks who just really don't have any sort of natural ability to do much of anything, so they have to depend on others to do it for them. Yeah. Let's show some pity for the truly pathetic. Geez! Can you cool it with all the flag waving patriotic crap.  It was neat for a while, then it deteriorated into a let's-see-how-much-we-can make-off-these-suckers type of deal. Hey, that's just capitalism at work. I seldom travel by plane, so I really don't worry much about hassles at airports. If it keeps some maniac from blowing up buildings, it's pretty much OK with me. I DID fly to Chicago recently, and I must fit some sort of FBI profile because I got pulled aside for closer inspection on both ends of my trip. That's OK. Like I said, it won't happen to me again for a long time. That said, there is one thing about airport security that really bothers me and that is the site of camo-wearing M-16-toting US troops strolling through the terminal. To me this is very, very wrong. This is the kind of thing you're supposed to see at BEIRUT International not DFW International. I hate to quote this guy, but nobody ever said it better: "What is the whole purpose of the armed forces? It is designed to kill people and break things." --Rush Limbaugh Amen. OUR SOLDIERS ARE NOT POLICEMEN! USING SOLDIERS AS POLICEMEN IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING! Countries that use soldiers as policemen are called "Police States." Just how much are we willing to give up in order to feel safe? The answer scares the hell out of me. Speaking of the weak minded...I know I've bitched and moaned about this before, but it didn't do any good. I make my living by creating images. I'm a photographer. It really pisses me off when some sub-moron steals an image and passes it off as their own. What a scum bag. I guess I should have pity for the pathetic losers, but I just can't do it. You know who you are, and you know that you suck, doncha? Wow. That Overly aggressive/rabid/stalker-type fan(see below) rant got a lot of attention. Some folks assumed it was written about them- took it by-God personally. I'd say that just maybe they ought to think about that for a while. Remember, if you ain't part of the solution, you're part of the damned problem. You know, I've had several folks ask me why I don't post much on this "Rant" deal any more, and I really don't know what to tell them. Maybe I just don't have it in me any more. Maybe I've mellowed. Hell, with all that's been going on the past couple of weeks, my little opinions seem very unimportant. One guy on the Rockzillaworld email group said that I stole the "Rant" idea from Dennis Miller. I actually stole it from Gordon Keith of The Ticket. Maybe he stole it from Miller- I don't know for sure. I thought about trying to come up with a new name, but they all seemed either lame, or somebody already had them. I think I'll just keep the "Rant" deal and let anyone who doesn't like it kiss my rather substantial ass. The Overly Aggressive/Rabid/Possessive/Stalker-Type Fan You're sitting in a club, sipping your favorite beverage, hoping to enjoy a good show and have a good time. You got there a little early just so you could grab a good table, and just before show time, they strike. Blowing in with all the grace of a case of gonorrhea, they are loud, abrasive, obnoxious, and just plain by-God rude. It is THEIR show. It is THEIR artist. In a pathetic attempt to appear cool, they haunt the artist at every opportunity, acting as though they've shared long slow hot showers in the past. They'll yell things during the show- just to make sure we don't forget just how cool they really are- and then when the show is over, or the band takes a break, here they come, bulling past the meeker fans with a stack of terrible photographs- at least 50- which they MUST have signed. The performer, trying to make the best of a bad situation, forces a smile and complies; he has to be nice. I don't. SIT YOUR STUPID ASS DOWN AND SHUT THE HELL UP! You ruin it for everybody! YOU SUCK! Personally, there are artists whose shows I will not attend simply because I know you folks will be there. Why don't YOU stay home? Oh, you DO get the attention that you so desperately crave, but you also show the world what a pathetic, no-life loser you really are. OK. I feel better. Now, if anyone reads this and assumes that I'm talking about them, well...You feelin' guilty? Speaking of mental midgets, give yourself this test: Next time you're on the highway and someone starts to pass you, look at your speedometer and see if you have unconsciously speeded up. If you did, I hate you, stupid! According to a certain mental midget who is also a member of our email group, there is a group of pathetic losers out there "urinating" on Ol' Rockzilla's parade, whatever the hell THAT means. Hey guys, if you spend that much time and effort on me, well...Looks like I own your dumb asses. Speaking of cowardly assholes...Looks like Timothy McVeigh will be on the front page for a while longer than expected. Thanks FBI! Well...Been a while since I did this "Rant Thing". Been getting lots of comments about how stupid I am and shit like that, especially on a local radio station message board from some guy named "David". Hell. He's right!(I DID have an email address for "David" posted here, but some folks told me I could get in trouble for that.) Every year toward the end of February, when pitchers and catchers report to spring training, it seems that there is hope. Every team has a shot- even yours. Opening day comes, and everybody is tied for first place. Then, as the weather heats up, reality sets in. THE RANGERS STILL DON'T HAVE ANY DAMNED PITCHING! Best line-up in baseball, though, and if they can score15-20 runs per game, we gots a chance. Wow! That last one scared me! You know what REALLY pisses me off? Well...Dull, stupid people who've never had an original thought in their lives, and are merely sponges. They just sort of sit there and soak up other people's ideas, then pass them off as their own. Hey, stupid! Screw you! The Sierra Club has a web site. Wow. There is no more perfect food on the planet than the 911 wings from Hooters. Now back to the commute. Stay with me here. You're stuck in traffic on LBJ. Ahead, for as far as you can see, there is a sea of brake lights. Why would you be willing to kill yourself or an innocent driver, just to move up ONE DAMNED SPACE!? OK. One more political observation: When President Bush leaves office, do you think he'll steal the damned furniture?! Question: What in the hell will CNN and Court TV fill their schedules with now that the Clinton administration is back on the streets? No impeachments, no overly friendly interns, no Chinese bribes... Hell, they're probably wishing OJ would get pissed off at his girlfriend. Hey! Does ANYONE but me remember Al Gore? Talk about a disappearing act! he- he- he... Oh, yeah. Again, club owners, KEEP THAT DAMNED BEER COLD! I ain't paying $3.50 for a warm beer! Predictions for the next four years: 1. No impeachment trials 2. No oral sex in the Oval Office. 3. No Presidential sax playing. 4. Outrageous inflation in the western boot market. While it IS good to have a Texas boy in the White House, I gotta admit that his musical tastes are HIGHLY suspect. CLINT BLACK??? BROOKS & WHO??? Asleep at the Wheel and Lyle Lovett did atone for some of those sins, but it is clear there is much work to be done. Somebody send PRESIDENT George a Brian Burns cd, dammitt!
