Horrifying Gnesa

Horrifying Gnesa

Music, People
NYC songstress Gnesa is using the Internet to make us sick. Sick of extremely talentless bimbos shaking their floppy boobs, stopping short of revealing a nasty gunt while screeching and squawking over revolting techno background music. Gnesa (really?...Gnesa?!?) has pushed the limits of human endurance with the horrifying pieces of aural excrement she calls music. Click the play button if you dare and prepare to shit out your own internal organs as your body does everything it can to stop the noise. Gnesa provides us with a logical reason for suicide. And murder.

Thieving Douche

Thieving Douche

Assholes, Of Interest, People
It takes a certain amount of douchiness to rob your employer, especially one that you've only known for a three days. Such is the tale of woe from Chris Parry, part-owner of Vancouver's fabulous Fray Restaurant, when he hired Michael Bothner to replace his departing front-of-house manager. Michael seemed to be keen, motivated and up to the task. But after only three shifts he stopped showing up for work, coinciding with the theft of the restaurant's nightly cash drop. Coincidence? Possibly, but it all points to a douche-bag who would sign on to gainful employment then slip a thieving knife into the backs of honest business owners who did nothing more than offer him gainful employment. Whatta douche. Here's the details lifted from Fray's website: You know you’ve made a…

Glen fades gracefully

Celebrities, Entertainment, Music, Of Interest, People
Glen Campbell has alzheimer's and is slowly fading away. But he's fading away gracefully. A case in point is his last album Ghost on the Canvas, released in September of 2011. It's a masterwork of modern studio-conceived pop songs with enough twangy bits to keep the country fans interested. Some of the tracks are intertwined with hints and vague references to his past hits which makes you feel like you're listening to music you know. This album is probably his last as his memory is fading quickly, so much so that he can't remember visiting the doctors that are treating him or even recording the album. A sad ending to a troubled artist who's had his issues with alcohol, drugs, marriage and the law. To be clear, I don't like…

80 + 80

80 + 80

Education, Observations, People
I was at my bank today, waiting in the ubiquitious ATM lineup while two teenage girls completed their banking transaction. These were two upper middle-class girls in the 15-17 age range, well dressed and wearing the latest in fashion and accessories. One was pressing the buttons while the other injected various comments and instructions during the complex process of withdrawing funds from a bank account (with a balance of $540.00, this relevation revealed by the button-pusher to everyone in the lineup). During the transaction the button-pusher asked the wingman (wing-BFF?) "What's 80 plus 80"? The friend stared back blankly as the gears meshed and their brains tried to comprehend this staggering calculation. Neither could come up with an answer. I'm serious. Neither could add 80 and 80 together and come…
