So I saw Men of Honor last night. If you watch any television aimed at 16 to 34 year-olds (my standard viewing fare) you’ll know that the US Navy ran television ads interspersed with scenes from Men of Honor. The tagline/slogan of the commercials was “When was the last time someone made a movie about your job?”

I did see a porno once where a newspaper columnist banged three chicks at the same time. Regarding Men of Honor, however, the movie wasn’t about the Navy so much as it was about an African-American’s struggle with bigotry and bureaucracy during his career as a deep sea diver. Not a flattering portrayal of the Navy by any standards.

Great marketing concept. If the same advertising team worked for the police, they propbably would’ve used Copland or Bad Lieutenant.

As the goochonline.com infrastructure expands, I'm beginning the migration of my websites to one central server - mine. Do not be alarmed or call area hospitals in the event of this site going out of service for an hour or so in the near future.

I'm coming up on 7000 hits. Some sites get that in a day. Others get that in an hour.

In 'true confession' form, I must say that as a result of my bout of insomnia during the early morning hours of this last Thursday, I missed the DFiVE9 show last night. At 7pm last evening, after I finished routing the ethernet wire throughout my apartment, I sat down for a second. BIG MISTAKE ON THREE HOURS SLEEP. When I woke up, it was 3am, ironically 24 hours after my most recent bout of insomnia. Bummer.

The cable/satellite channel E! is doing one of their documentary styled "E! True Hollywood Story" shows about Paula Poundstone. An hour long show about Paula Poundstone? I could sum her life up in ten seconds: I'm lesbian, I'm nobody; I'm lesbian, I'm (sort of) famous; I'm lesbian, I'm a goddamned child molestor. [props to Denis Leary].

What happened to E!? "True Hollywood Story" was good until they started using "re-enactments" instead of actual photos. Another issue with E!: Jules Anser looks really good and can read a cue card, but who said she could interview people with any talent? Real tough questions like (to Julia Roberts) "Do you think you'll ever have children?" and (to George Clooney) "Do you think you'll ever get married?" Real tough, revealing questions. Those are the questions that E! is using in the promos. I won't get into the possible deals that E! has with the publicity team for the Oceans 11 movie but I can guarantee you that "Revealed with Jules Asner" is not worth watching. At least with the volume turned up.

The bar in The Original Taco House on 82nd ave. here in Portland had the "kamikaze" listed as yesterday's drink special. I told them that it would be more appropriate to have the kamikaze drink special today. The bartender agreed and The OTH should be serving kamikaze's for $2.95 today for Pearl Harbor day.

In celebration of PH day, I plan on ramming my Subaru into a parked bus. I just hope that in the process I don't get hurt or spill my discount priced kamikaze drink (maybe I can get it served in a spill proof cup).

See DFiVE9 at Tabor tonight.

Hello to everyone in Minnesota and Idaho.

Gooch: Incredibly innapropriate since 1991

Que Pasa?

Kendra of Hotboxed affiliation tells me that the band has a show on Saturday with Dij, Dislogic, and Mormon Assault Vehicle. It's at the Paris. "Mormon Assault Vehicle" is perhaps the coolest band name ever. See this month's column for more Mormon discussion.

I'm going to try to get to the Paris on Saturday because I dig Hotboxed (see their review in the CD reviews section) but I will, with 100% certainty, be at Mt. Tabor on Friday to see DFiVE9 and Head of Lies. With the amount of Jagermeister I'm going to drink at the show, you could almost say that the show is sponsored by www.markkroeker.com. HAHAHAHA. Jagermeister is a proud sponsor of DFiVE9.

HOLY SHIT! I just realized that my menu doesn't have a link to the PICTURES page. I SUCK. I'll fix that soon.

I was going to shut down this website when I saw that I only got FOUR fucking hits on Tuesday. Then I realized, today is Tuesday and it's 8am. My bad. I need hits. I need hits like Marion Berry needs hits. Like Darryl Strawberry needs hits. Like Tina Turner recorded hits. Like Tina Turner received hits from Ike. Like Ike hit the bottle. Like...

Have to go to work.
