Random observations, insights and profound epiphanies from one of the foremost slayers of Knob-Goblins and Fartknockers
| You Are a Hunter Soul |
Actively working to acheive what you want, you are skillful in many areas. You are a natural predator with strong instincts ... and more than a little demanding. You are creative, energetic, and an extremely powerful force. An outdoors person, you like animals and relate to them better than people. You tend to have an explosive personality, but also a good sense of humor. People sometimes see you as arrogant or a know it all. You tend to be a bit of a loner, though you hate to be alone. Souls you are most compatible with: Seeker Soul and Peacemaker Soul |
Actually, yes, that IS pretty much what and who I am, except, I DO like to be alone. I am amazed.
| You Are 28% Cynical |
You buy into many of the things that mainstream society believes, but you're not anybody's fool. |
Here in Curacao everyone is going wild over the up-coming concert of the famed Latino singer Marc Anthony. While I am not particularly a great lover of Lation music, I do know that Marc Anthony IS famous for being able to spin J-Lo on his stick ( How do I know this? One of my best friends finacee's is head of PR for the Hispanic TV Channel in the states, and she knows all the dirty info amongst Latino "stars").
However, whenever it comes to Latino singers, the one thing which ALWAYS come to my mind is this skit from Saturday Night Live:
Super Feud
Announcer.....Don Pardo
Jorge Montenero.....Patrick Swayze
Raul Valendez.....Dana Carvey
["singing" over continuous music-bed of Latin folk song "Guantanamera"]
Announcer: When two of South America's biggest singing stars have a feud, you're the winner. Now you can enjoy the rivalry that Latin Americans have known about for years. Together on one album, Jorge Montenero┘
Jorge:
"One ton of fan mail
That's what I get, I get one ton of fan mail
One ton of fan mail
I get one ton of fan mail."
Announcer: ┘And his arch-rival, Raul Valendez.
Raul:
"Two tons of fan mail
That's what I get, I get two tons of fan mail
Two tons of fan mail
I get two tons of fan mail."
Announcer: All the songs in the greatest rivalry in the history of South American singing-star rivalries.
Jorge: "Four tons of fan mail
That's right you heard me, I get four tons of fan mail
I have it weighed each morning
On the truck scale."
Announcer: You'll get┘
Raul:
"Number-one song for nine months (in Paraguay)
I had the number-one song for nine months
You turn on the radio
And it was all you would ever hear."
Announcer: And┘
Jorge:
"He had an eye job
I tell you, he had an eye job
I know a doctor
Who swears he had an eye job."
Announcer: Plus┘
Raul:
"He stuffs his trousers
I'm telling you quite plainly, he stuffs his trousers
With a plastic penis
It fell out in Lima."
Announcer: With┘
Jorge:
"That never happened,
I tell you man, the man is a liar
I filed a lawsuit
For 100,000,000 pesos."
Announcer: Plus┘
Raul: "It fell out his pant-leg
I know for sure, it fell out his pant-leg
We have same drummer
He told me the story."
Announcer: Send check or money order for $12.95 to Super Feud, Camino De Las Estrellas, Miami, FL.
Jorge:
"Last in commercial
Please note my song was last in commercial, heh heh heh!
That should tell you something
They put me last in commercial."
Announcer: Order now.

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five questions; I'll send you a message.
3. You then update your blog (and reply here) with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else when you post your answers in your blog.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
And now for Inna's Qeustions....
INTERVIEW by Inna
1. Pick one thing you'd like to be doing for living (it can be your dream profession, your dream position, whatever. Remember, ALL options are open!). Next, what are your second and third choices?
Swiftsure: "Quite frankly I am doing it right now and I would never wish to change it. As for second or third choices, I have none. There really is'nt anything better than my present endvour."
2. What's your all-time favorite band? Song? Movie? Actor?
Swiftsure: "Band? Most, if not all the music I listen to is not played by "Bands". However, having lived in Russia since the early 90's I'd say my favorite "Band" would be the "Bloody Band of Yeltsin!" and their song..."Банду Ельцина под Суд!"
"As for a favorite "song" That's dependant generally upon external factors such as, the weather, the season and if I am getting any of the coochie or not. Of late, I have tended to start my mornings with The Concerto for Oboe in D Minor, the Adagio movement by Corelli, if that signifys."
"Movies...again, no one "favorite" but I'd say "Lawerence of Arabia" would probably be in the top position where I to have to make a choice, followed closly be the "Duelists"."
"Actor, again I don't have a single favorite, but like most people I tend to identify with actors who whose roles and looks reflect mine, so I'd say it would be a toss up between Charles Bronson and Harvey Kietel."
3. What would be your ideal vacation? What was your best vacation ever? What was the worst? (disclaimer: stole this question from Sheila)
Swiftsure: "I am perptually on vacaton. I never have a bad one, only not the best of days sometimes."
And a sub-question: Pick one place on earth where you'd like to visit OR live: a) right now; b) in general.
Swiftsure: "I've been most everywhere I wish to go to, and generally speaking there is no place where I would wish to live than where I live now."
4. What's your single best memory? How about your very earliest one?
Swiftsure: "My earlest memory is birth. It was cold, red, shocking and scary."
"As for a"best" memory I have so many I would never have the space here to write them all down; but generally speaking, I do not live in my memories, but I live in anticipation of the new ones to come."
5. If there was a genie who would grant you ANY one (ONE) wish, what would your wish be: a) on personal level, and b) on global level?
Swiftsure: "a) To travel freely though time, with the ability to choose the time and place and to have fluent knowladge of the language, culture and dress of the time -- as well as enought money in the local currency to live in a comfortable style of the time and place."
"b) All Mohammadans the world over denounce Islam as a evil apostacy and embrace Christianity with all the verve and vigor of the newly converted; and turn Mecca into a Disney Attraction -- open to all faiths -- and put a McDonald's in the Kabala giving away McRib Sandwichs to all who petition for one free of charge."
I've only been here a few days, two to be exact, and and from what I've seen of the profiles here...you people are SICK! And I don't mean just mentally deranged, but REALLY FUCKIN' SICK! Beyond and hope of redemption!! No amount of medication, group therapy or electro-shock will ever cure your sorry asses!
After reading the stuff in here, I am getting scared to step out of my house and I LIVE ON A ISLAND!! I mean think of it for a second...the freaks you see in here are the same people who Bank your money, give you legal advise, do your accounting, prepare your food, teach your kids and protect your homes...does'nt that scare you? It does me.
People often ask me, they say " Swiftsure, are'nt you ever going to leave Russia and go home to America to live someday?" and I used to say " NO! Those people are fuckin' crazy!" and they would look at me as if I was the weird one...NOW YOU HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH THE PROOF! I thank you. One need not look very far to find this, for example, just google the word "Dog" , "Donkey" or "Latex" and see what comes up. As I see it Bush erred in not just setting lose the Marines on you scumb bags and letting them start somewhere in Maine and simply Hook 'n Jab their way across the whole US of A!
I was at first distraught, for example, by the Moussaoui Trial verdict, but now I understand it after looking around in here. Only people like you could allow a man to admittedly and activly plan a mass slaugther of your own countrymen-- resulting in 3,000 deaths -- and you let him cheat the noose becasue he had a bad childhood and people used to call him names as a kid. The logic is here in the profiles.
God Bless you, you sure need it...
