Snoring Alien 2012

The first one was called, "Snoring Alien Dog." This one is called, "Snoring Alien 2012," thereby reflecting the new with the hipper, hippier, happier, whatever.

Yeah, SNORING ALIEN DOG!  ZZZZZzzzzzzz

Go all Alien Dog on everything? Right? Huh?  Alien Dog 2012 is an elderly boxer, one who had outlived the usual life expectancy for the breed.  But all he wanted to do was sleep.  So that's what they let him do. Big sleepy boy.  Snoring alien baby.

Someone, and we will not say who, provided the soundtrack.  I believe it was the same producer as the one who produced the movie, "the Sound of Music."  Yeah, really.  And no expense was spared in creating a truly cranky, nasally and annoying snore for this video.

Casting for this role ("Snoring Alien Dog") was conducted in a most unusual manner. It's a big secret. Governmental clearance necessary for that info.  No can do, hoss. Whatever.

If you or a loved one snores significantly, you may need ear plugs, you may need to live in separate states.  Just saying.

Cheers to May!

Love me, Love all (Multnomah Falls)

Quick trip to Hood River, out the Columbia River on the Oregon side.  Really beautiful out there and plenty of opportunities to make Portlandia jokes.

My wife tricked me into going into Hood River on the promise that the worlds' greatest cheeseburger (at the Sixth Avenue bistrol restaurant place).  So when we go there it was like all Grateful Dead posters and Oregon micro-brews.  Then my wife starts talking all crazy about stalking my girlfriend from 30 years ... "I'm sure they know her here," my wife says, looking at the music memorabilia on the walls. "Maybe she's on Facebook."

Whoa, right? No way.

I want to plug the Skamania Lodge out there -- way dog friendly.  Very nice place.  Four pet rooms.  Extra $50 fee for a pet per the stay.  They deliver the dog a little goodie basket -- a leash, a tennis ball, a bed cover, treats.  Yeah, baby!

Multnomah Falls was spectacular, although the third bridge, the top one was closed.  Still, an awesome roadside attraction and a spectacular display of Mother Nature.  Way nice place to stretch your legs, get a cold hit of spray in your face.

It seemed kind of important to post something hopeful today in that so many people across the US have used May Day to protest.  I can get behind a protest, but when the little devil dudes in their black pajamas jump out of the crowd and start breaking windows and stuff, it's time to go home.  Sorry, I'm a party popper, I'm too old and messed up to get my skull cracked open.   I'd go down like a 747 ... "MAYDAY MAYDAY" ... yeah, you get the picture.

I'm not saying that some magic entity will take over the Earth and make all its people friendly and nice, but it sure would be nice if that happened.  All people.  Everyone.  All at the same time.  Nice, like pass the mashed potatoes, baby, it's time for the world to eat dinner, nice.

What's this love me, love all crap?  Just an observation, when people band together based upon their mutual hate of something, weirdness follows quickly.  Just my opinion.  Are we focusing too much on the negative?  How will the world change if we don't take it to the streets.  If I'm arrested for rioting, will I still be able to get a student loan?  These are the fundamental questions, my friends.

I like to believe that people can solve their own problems.  But it seems like we will need some spiritual intervention.  Strike that, we TOTALLY need some spiritual intervention.

I tend to sympathize with occupy, just because they make more sense than the banks and wall street and the governments of the world.

Occupy may make this an interesting summer, right on through to the presidential elections.  I guess we'll see what happens.

Peace and love.  Really.  And resistance, yes, but passive resistance.
