it’s a sad day in los angeles.
i just read in a LA times article (-found here-) that the bread and butter of the los angeles greeting commission is gonna be demolished, and turned into a parking lot!
that’s right…the colorful and inviting signs for the century lounge, a strip club right outside LAX, will be no longer.
makes me laugh because in the article it mentions the uproar a few years back over a “vaginas r’ us” sign they had. well, because i am a well informed dirtbag….i actually capped a picture of that sign when it was on the news 5 years ago. heh!!! you may have won this round, mr. uptight society!!!!! but the legacy will never vanish!!!
….you will be missed sweet nude vagina sign!
socal sleazebag of the month! sept. ‘09

ah…..this one is a gem. from the ocregister article:
wtf is wrong with some people? apparently this wonderful mother was down and out about not being able to sell her “massage therapy” business, so she stabbed her kids. yikes, guess all those “happy endings” don’t always bring everyone blissful joy. hahaha. there is also mention of her dealing with a divorce and other things….but still, that kinda stuff happens to a lot of people. it’s not something to get all stabby over.
relax….take a break…..smoke a freakin’ joint for all i care…..BUT PUT THE KNIFE DOWN NUTSO! as you are the socal sleavebag of the month for sept. 2009!
i shoulda been a doctor.

so…..i go to the doctor today for the first time in like 15 years. yeah, yeah, yeah…..i know, but i don’t really need to pay someone to tell me i need to stop smoking, stop drinking, and to start eating better.
but, i’ve had these kinda crazy headaches for the last 2 weeks so i figured it’d be a good idea to go make sure i am not dying. you see, i have a pretty decent health care plan….but since i am not from california, i had no idea where to start with picking a doctor. so what did i do? i picked the first name i could pronounce outta the little directory booklet my insurance gave me.
however, the worst thing i did was try to look for a doctor close to home. you see….here in wonderful ol’ anaheim….the doctors and people are not right out of a disneyland fairytale. nope, and in fact….how do i put this nicely? they are white trash scum and poor poverty stricken mexicans. sorry, but they are. i am not in charge of the demographic here….but for the most part that is what anaheim is.
so needless to say, i shoulda found some doctor in irvine or south county from the start. i thought i’d still see what this doctor had to offer though, and even tried to do a little research on him. i only found one review….and here it is in it’s entirety:
“Unbelievably cursory examination, and prescribes antibiotics without knowing whether they are needed. I was assigned this doctor by my HMO. I had an appointment for a sore throat. He literally “looked” at my throat from four feet away, said, “Whoa, yup. You’re infected,” and backed away from me. There’s no way he was close enough to see anything, and even if we were, what an unprofessional response. He then proceeded to write me two prescriptions, one for an antibiotic, without taking a culture or anything to see if the supposed infection was bacterial or not! It goes without saying, I switched doctors.My husband likes Dr. XXXXX, though. As he says, “You always walk out of there with at least one prescription.” Yup. Whether ya need it or not!”
ahhhh….what a refreshing review. anyone wanna take a guess at the interaction i had with him? yep….he looked at my throat….with a fucking ear examiner no less….said, “whoa, yep, that’s infected”…..and then wrote me 3 prescriptions for shit i probably don’t even need. i was a first time patient, and i think i talked to the doctor all of maybe 2 mins. at the most. i’ll take the antibiotics….as hopefully i just have a sinus infection…..but he also gave me some crazy nasal spray that i swear tastes like i just got done snorting dandelions….and then some codeine laced cough medicine, which is apparently for the cough….i don’t even have.
oh but wait….it gets better….(and sorry if this is a little bit of too much information as i don’t even care at this point), but i also mentioned to the good old doctor how my headaches are usually just lingering, but they are severely unbearable when humping and getting “excited”. he says, “are you taking any decongestants?” i say, “no….i just bought sudafed sinus heachache stuff yesterday, but otherwise no.” he says, “yep, those will raise your blood pressure and so does sex….so that’s why your headaches are worse then”.
huh? did you even listen to what i said doctor dickweed?!?!?!?!?
ugh…..so unfortunately this brings into light a whole other issue in the news lately. the health care reform. you see….i completely support a change in our health care system….and really….on the surface i support a public option too. however, then i had to deal with what you can probably expect from public option based practices today. again….not to be a dick…..but most of the other people in this doctor’s office were probably already on some kind of state or county funded health program. everyone is quickly packed in, handed a quick prescription, and then shoveled out on their way just like good little lab rats.
now that’s not to say the health care reform isn’t needed or there shouldn’t be a public option….but unfortunately i think i can assume what will happen if things aren’t explored past the surface of these proposals. it’ll be a free for all explosion for the poor…to the point where NO ONE will be receiving the adequate health care they need.
….and that sucks.
funny though….before going to the doctor i even tried to research things on my own. i went out and got vitamins to help with blood pressure and immune deficiency. i bought some dumb nasal spray and even just tried to spend my time on the couch taking it easy to cure this sickness. i coulda wrote the damn prescription myself and just said “google said so, now gimme the drugs i need and keep the ones that are irrelevant.”
but no….instead i needed to spend $35 to have the taste of dandelions dripping down my throat, some codeine i don’t need, and who even knows what kinda other diseases i got from the shitstained kids in the doctor’s waiting room. and i still can’t even get laid without it feeling like my brain is giving birth to some mutant devil spawn!!!!!
…..bah, screw it. imma just have a shot of blackberry brandy like grandma said. and hopefully grandma evolved her cure to include a mickey’s tall boy because at the moment at least it’s got me smiling. 
nice little summary.
