The New Millenium Prayer
“If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.”
Woody Allen (1935 - )
I see this everyday on Pratt St. as I come to work and I finally remembered (and was early enough) to stop and take a shot of it. I call this the Millenium Prayer…when all else fails pray to Oprah. Despite the fact that she already ripped my city’s school system a new one, I guess we still love her. What I did not take pictures of were the other signs on the building, saying how the program was being evicted and how the operators, “Love Jesus!”. I’m sorry but this whole thing is just hilarious to me. First they called on Christ and then they called on Oprah. I already said she could take over the world if she wanted to. I jus keep wondering what have we come to. The woman who started out here disses us. Despite the schools being (to quote internet geeks everywhere) Teh Suck!!!!!, our mayor might become the governer. Hopefully he and his lame band will stop taking slots at Artscape especially after last year when they butchered my favorite Green Day song.
Not to mention that one of the clubs they used to rock at got preferential treatment from the spot I used to go to a mere 30 feet away. While those drunk white boys ran over cars with beer in their hands, I’ve known someone to get locked up at our spot cause he was in the door way drinking cranberry juice in a glass…on the same night…with police witnessing both incidents. Damn it Baltimore, what are we gonna do? Oprah may not answer, O’Malley is busy writing songs, Schaefer is crazy, old, bigoted and in the closet (sorry gay people, I understand he does not represent you and I won’t hold him against you). Lt. Governer Michael Steele…well the only thing I like about him was he wasn’t scared to be the only Republican on Bill Maher’s show…despite the fact that nothing is worse than a black republican defending George Bush, it’s an oxymoron wrapped in a paradox. Then I was downtown yesteday and the water in the Harbor is a nasty rust colored green. It looks like this
When all else fails, I tell myself, at least we have Half and Halfs.
All praise due to Oprah!!!

Amadeo, don’t move to NYC it’s a pisshole peehole. The new new jig mecca is going to be Phoenix. Tons of sisters waiting for brothers to come out of the spillover from California’s maximum security centers. Didn’t you see ‘Waiting to Exhale’?
Plus tanned white meat (oh yeah I forgot, DONT TRUST IT!)

What are half and halfs?
You should move to NYC. It’s the capital of the world.
A Half and Half is a blend of ice tea and lemonade…of course some like it too sweet, but when it’s blended right with not too much sugar this thing is pure heaven on a summer day.

Making my mouth water for a half & half right now, Amadeo.
Oh, but I’m nearly choking at the fact that while they waited on God, they put in the A.P.B. to Ohfree Weaintfree. The utter irony. LMAO!
