The Dodekatheon of Twitter

In Greek myth, there were 12 particular gods presiding over mortal-life. Sure, there were many gods, but, only a few had their own chair, atop Mt. Olympus.

In the Twitterverse, there are thousands of equally important voices. Twitter actually gets choked with so many individual voices.

So, I'm picking a subject: COMEDY!
Well now, within comedy on Twitter, I'm gonna attribute people to the Mt. Olympus Twelve.
In honor of the 2012 Olympic Games, here is my Twitter Comedy Dodekatheon:
1) Zeus: Rob Delaney @robdelaney
2) Hera: Megan Amram @meganamram
3) Poseidon: Alec Sulkin @thesulk
4) Athena: Mary Charlene @IamEnidColeslaw
5) Hephaestus: Kasey Anderson @KaseyAnderson
6) Ares: Jeffrey Hadz @Hadzilla
7) Aphrodite: Caprice Crane @capricecrane
8) Apollo: Eli Braden @EliBraden
9) Dionysus: Clarke Kant @clarkekant
10) Hermes: Rob Fee @robfee
11) Demeter: Lauren Caltagirone @MrsRupertPupkin
12) Artemis: Kelly Oxford @kellyoxford

There! The Twelve Comedic Olympians of Twitter! Read at your own risk.

The Bum-Quote Archive

I hear a lot of random things, while walking around these San Francisco streets. This post will be an ever-growing archive of these absurd statements.

6/23/11 - NOTE: I promise that I'll start adding date/location with future posts.

"Ooh, yeah, Stanford's real nice. It's one of them Ivy League schools, them is."

"Hey, did you get my undies outta here?"

"Fucking pigeons!!! When they get in my shirt, I want to kill them! Bastards!!"

"Well, you know, I just sit here and check out all the hot ass that passes by. Sometimes, I might get a little change, too. It ain't such a bad life."

"I want three!! If I wanted four, I would've asked for something crazy, like two."

"I don't care when Santa was born. I need to eat, today!"

"If you don't give me a quarter, I will!"

"What? I don't... Well, who am I, when carbs storm the masses?"

"I see that! Look, he agrees with me!" (this guy was pointing at a pedestrian crossing sign)

"You're wearing glasses. I can't wear 'em, you see, they make my nose hurt. (starts mumbling)"

"The taxpayers don't know what's going on. They don't know nuthin!"

"... but, he don't share his drugs. He always asking for some change, and he always ignored by the blacks. It happens all over the country..."

"Where's my Wookiee? I can't stand here much longer without my Wookiee!"

"It's like a whore, with armpits hanging everywhere."

"Truth is ¾ lies."

"Yo baba ghanoush ain't shit!"

‎"Not something you'd think, but, that motherfu£#er can bench 300 lbs. Yeah, man, Robin Williams is great." -- 7/4/11- Haight at Clayton

"Yo, listen... sometimes, an easy whore is the only way I can live." -- 7/6/11 - Turk at Larkin

"I'm so economically-minded, I'm dangerous." -- 12/7/11 - Hyde at Golden Gate

--- To be continued, forever(?)...

More Useless, "Art."

Oil on Canvas

"Occupy," explained by Cookie Monster

Yes, there always going to be rich and poor. But we used to live in country where rich owned factory and make 30 times what factory worker make. Now we live in country where rich make money by lying about value of derivative bonds and make 3000 times what factory worker would make if factories hadn't all moved to China.

Capitalism great system. We won Cold War because people behind Iron Curtain look over wall, and see how much more plentiful and delicious cookies are in West, and how we have choice of different bakeries, not just state-owned one. It great system. It got us out of Depression, won WWII, built middle class, built country's infrastructure from highways to Hoover Dam to Oreo factory to electrifying rural South. It system that reward hard work and fair play, and everyone do fair share and everyone benefit. Rich get richer, poor get richer, everyone happy. It great system.

Then after Reagan, Republicans decide to make number one priority destroying that system. Now we have system where richest Americans ones who find ways to game system -- your friends on Wall Street -- and poorest Americans ones who thought working hard would get them American dream, when in fact it get them pink slip when job outsourced to 10-year-old in Mumbai slum. And corporations have more influence over government than people (or monsters).

It not about rich people having more money. It about how they got money. It about how they take opportunity away from rest of us, for sake of having more money. It how they willing to take risks that destroy economy -- knowing full well that what could and would happen -- putting millions out of work, while creating nothing of value, and all the while crowing that they John Galt, creating wealth for everyone.

That what the soul-searching about. When Liberals run country for 30 years following New Deal, American economy double in size, and wages double along with it. That fair. When Conservatives run country for 30 years following Reagan, American economy double again, and wages stay flat. What happen to our share of money? All of it go to richest 1%. That not "there always going to be rich people". That unfair system. That why we upset. That what Occupy Sesame Street about.

(NOTE: I didn't write this.)

Yoda, Posing...

"Sucks now, my life does."




"What? Understand, I do not"




"Myself, who I do enjoy."




"Continue to pass, the days do."





"Update the resume, I should. Highlight typing skills, I must."




"Touch not. Here I must lie."

"Oddity."

Shifting Lighting on the Scanner, 2011, Me....

A Question Of Balance?

Has there been a change in, "Customer Mentality," or, is it just the city I live in?
Throughout my life, I've always read a Closed sign to mean, "Closed."

Like this:
Me: **approach door** Oh, they're closed. **walk away**

These days, however, I come across this:
Person: **stepping around the closed sign** Are you closed??
Me: Yes, we are.
Person: So, does that mean I can't get a/an ____________?

What the hell is this?!? It's all relatively new to me, and, it makes me ask a few questions.
Is this just a San Francisco thing? Or, is this a national epidemic of hubris and self-importance? Have DSL and smartphones led us to a, "I need, you deliver," state?
A "Closed" sign only means one thing. It certainly doesn't mean, "We're closed to all, except you." This isn't rocket science, people.

It is things like this, that make me respect the thought process of a Dalek (alien villans from Dr. Who). As a Dalek, my prior example would go like this:
Person: Are you closed?? (while stepping around the closed sign)
Me: Yes, we are.
Person: So, does that mean I can't get a/an ____________?
Me: exterminate. ExterMinAte. EXTERMINAAAATE!!!! **lasers shoot from fingertips**

Much simpler.

Really though, what is going on? Any thoughts?

Boredom

As long as I'm adding...

This was created over a three day period.
I keep the original in a frame, on my bedroom wall.
And, yes, I was very bored...

This is me, doing Art.
The original is 2.5"x3.5"

The scan made it enormous... that's why you see it covered with dots.
I'm breaking-in a set of oil sticks. I used the blue as the main, because that's the stick I want to use when I do the final touch-up on my TARDIS model. These oil sticks had sharp edges, which I needed to get rid of. Still, I think this little thing turned out well!

Anyway, oil on canvas, © Daniel Patrick Jones, 2011, yadda, yadda...

A Rating

I'm connected to ALL the social-media. This has it's advantages, but also, far too many drawbacks. Let me, stand now, lay down the pros/cons of these sites:

Twitter: Mostly, I follow comedians. This is my Humor Source. This is what keeps me alive. I follow other important people, but, this hasn't proven to be an outlet for friends. Sure, I'll get answers from Neil Gaiman, but, that doesn't mean that I know, or, understand, Neil Gaiman as a person.
As a social application, I think Twitter failed. I only have four friends who use it, among the many Facebookers, that I can keep some kind of communication with. Personally, I *heart* the Twitter.
I wish that more people I KNOW would use Twitter.

Tumblr: An awesome blog site! It uses the Feel, of Facebook and Twitter, and gives the user a free template, for any ideas (or format), and, the blogging possibilities can be endless.
But, like Twitter, It's an unknown (among personal friends) format, so, I follow several random accounts (many are the same people I follow on Twitter).

LinkedIn: I don't take this one very seriously. I work in the restaurant industry, and, short of a miracle, I will always be in this industry. Linkedin loves the idea of suggesting people, in careers, that I could never do.
My mom has a LinkedIn account. To those who know my mother, you know that Hell has gotten slightly colder.

MySpace: I learned many of the basics, of HTML, on this site. During their demise, they got rid of CSS sites, and, that's when they lost me. RIP, MySpace!

Facebook: Wow... what can I say about this site? When I joined, there were about 40,000 members. That was an awesome time! The near-Atari interface was the bomb. Hell, I reconnected (some, personally) with high school friends! That was when Facebook was overtaking MySpace. They went from 125 million, to 400 million, in nearly a blink of the eye... BUT, I miss the old layout.
Facebook spends so much time updating, they've forgotten that they are (used to be) Facebook!
My 'Wall' is covered with Friends commenting on Non-Friends Wall's.... Non-Friends tagging photos... people I don't know are ALL OVER my Wall.
Facebook is a whore, now. I'm addicted, now, so I'll keep using it, but...
Years ago, Facebook peaked. Not with Users; just with sweetness.

Google +: I'm an unimpressed member. Will this be the next Big Thing? We shall see...
