You want some Latino heat?
|
You want some Latino heat? The accusation has been leveled at me from time to time that I am a pessimist. I disagree because if I was a pessimist I wouldn’t even bother to do anything ever. However I can see why people might get that impression because, for example, my left pec (or boob if you will) hurts and my first assumption is that I have breast cancer. But my second assumption is that I pulled a muscle so it’s a sliding scale. When I was younger I often thought that I would rather get cancer than get a girl pregnant. It was probably true most of the time. One time when I had a pregnancy scare – and by that I mean the condom broke and I stopped immediately and there was no chance of any pregnancy but I was super freaked out – the lady in question said “think how awful that would feel if it knew you didn’t want it”. I don’t understand this tactic. First of all why would you tell a one of their parents didn’t want it? Secondly , if I didn’t want the obviously I don’t care what the feels. And third, what exactly was she trying to convince me of? To pretend to want something I didn’t want? That doesn’t seem like an improvement. That was the first lady I met from Senior Sizzle that “panned out”. The first lady I went to meet told me I had to shave my junk, which I had never done before, and it really squicked me out to see blood dripping off my balls. She didn’t show. That’s maybe the only time in my life I’ve been in a bar alone – one of the few times I’ve ever been in a bar. Speaking of sliding scales sometimes I get down on myself because I don’t do a lot with my time. But then I think about how there’s a lot of people that have watched two different documentaries and listened to a podcast about the Fyre Festival. That doesn’t make what I’ve done any less pointless but again it’s a sliding scale. There’s a new sketch show called Alternatino. It looks pretty good. I’m not going to watch it because I’ve decided I’m done with dude comedians in drag as a comedic device. An impression is one thing, that may be okay, but having a character that’s just a generic lady in your repertoire? No, I’m out. I didn’t watch the Kroll show for the same reason. Well that and it looked gawdawful. Do we have the in the Hall to blame for this? Or is it just a thing? Dressing up as a woman in a drama is still fine. Remember the 1960s show The Ugliest Girl In Town where a guy pretends to be a female fashion model in London? And of course the episode of Suite Life where Cody disguises himself as a girl to enter a beauty contest in order to win the prize money and buy bikes for him and Zack. What’s that? You don’t think Suite Life was a drama? Watch it again hombre. Today at work a lady was wearing a very nice blouse and I almost complimented it but I stopped myself at the last moment because I remembered that that is hate speech and creating an unsafe work environment. It was a close call but I’m woke AF. I realized though that for all the in-roads we’ve made on this issue there’s one area that isn’t doing as well – women complimenting each other. I don’t think we can say we’ve made true progress as a society until a woman saying “That’s a cute skirt” to another woman is correctly interrupted as a prelude to a same sex sexual assault. I was also thinking that as we stamp out the crime of compliments online stuff is going to become even more critical. Online you can set up a filter of appropriate things for people to say to you and anything else gets blocked. Sadly you can’t do that when you’re talking face to face. But we should be able to minimize that as much as possible. I suppose the ultimate goal would be pre-arranged marriage where you don’t even know the person and only interact when it’s time to breed every seven years. And NO everyone doesn’t breed at the same time, one seventh of the population breeds each year dingus. The other day during a break in a marathon sex session Double D was expressing her opinion that Friends does not hold up well at all, but that Seinfeld does – an opinion which I share. She then went on to wonder if younger folks can relate to Seinfeld or would it bug them that 75% of the episodes wouldn’t happen if mobile phones existed. It got me to thinking about MASH. I watched it as reruns obviously, but when it was first run it was a show set in the 50’s being watched by people in the 70’s. And I thought about what might bother the 70s people in terms of technology. And I couldn’t think of anything. Is that because I’m too young or because there wasn’t that big of a difference? I tend to think people who assume all the most important technology was invented in their lifetime are vain fools but maybe there’s some truth to it sometimes – maybe mobile phones and the “internet” changed things more than other inventions. Cars would have been different somewhat maybe but they were in a war anyway so that wouldn’t matter. I don’t know how accurate that show was medically but that would be different – which no one would notice anyway unless they were in the medical profession. Was there no culture shifting technological advance from the 50s to the 70s? The only data points I have are at my old job Big Boobs and Big Boobs 2 were in their mid-20s at the time and both loved Seinfeld. The other day my buddy Pico de Orizaba and I were reminiscing about our youth when we started playing D&D and how we played for years and had a ball with only one book and now we have hundreds. I could tell he was trying to make some kind of point about how maybe we had more fun because we had less stuff but I don’t buy that – we had more fun because we were and that’s when you have fun. I was explaining to a young person why we only had one book for so long which was a combination of several factors – we had no money, we didn’t know what all was out there to buy, we didn’t really care, and most importantly of all our ability to buy stuff was limited to whatever the one game shop in town had and wasn’t stolen by the employees – which wasn’t much. When I was older I played D&D with some of those guys who “worked” at the game shop and one of them said how it was great because they could borrow all the books. And I said “So you wrap them back up before you sell them?” (at that time all game books were wrapped in plastic, I don’t know why) and he said “Oh we never take them back.” I asked him how that was “borrowing” and then I was never invited to play with them again. It’s strange to me how many people seem to think stealing is totally fine. On the other hand I stole a toothbrush once, and I thought about stealing a gaming console from a book store when I was in college so I guess I’m a hypocrite. Actually no I’m not, I knew it was wrong I just thought about it anyway. Remember when Bridesmaids came out and it seemed like Kristin Wiig was going to be a thing? I do. Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first. |

If you didn't spend so much time with unproductive television watching, you wouldn't be able to blog about it for those who do different unproductive things. That's a virtue. I think. Maybe. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

As someone who did watch MASH during the 70's, one definitely noticed that it was a different environment. But it wasn't because it was 20 years earlier, it was because it was a combat zone where they were roughing it. Probably a better comparison would be the show Happy Days....and from that standpoint you're correct, there wasn't anything in the show where you'd think 'well gosh that would never happen TODAY'. The anachronisms were the music and outfits, not technology etc.
