Happy Kwanzaa

12.26.2006

Today is the First Day of Kwanzaa
Now I am not going to get into the whole Kwanzaa Debate. Yes it was created in the 1960's by a psuedo con-man/criminal/inspirational leader who was black. I will tell you this. Malach has a number of black friends, none of them celebrate Kwanzaa, and 90% think it is pretty stupid.

No plugs today.

Also, many of you know, Malach has some physical difficuties with his right elbow. It is accumlated injury and calcification from playing sports. Tonight, it popped, and is in rough shape. I can usually loosen it up after this by throwing a baseball. Did not work tonight. We will see in the morning, but it might be time for the big surgery (basically removing all tendons and ligaments, cutting off the calcifications and reattaching, long physical recovery).

So what did Malach get for X-Mas.
Well off the top of the head? Several gift certificates, not the least being a big one to Inflicting Ink from the wife (ulterior motive, she wants one). Several cds, a really cool weather station (more on that tomorrow), and few other things. I will dig through it and get back tomorrow.

Remodeling the kitchen tonight.
Reason for the elbow problems. Pics up when done.

You are listening too . . .
Fear of a Black Planet from PE. One of the greatest bands of all time. Nice Kwanzaa theme.

Man.
I thought the British PM would have his own version of Airforce One.

I feel good!
Goodbye once again James Brown.

Malach's Quote of the Day
Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal — that there is no human relationship between master and slave. - Tolstoy

I am Malach, put a little birdhouse in your soul.

I rather having gift cards, because you can get yourself what you really want... the bad thing about gift cards is that you end up paying extra to complite your own gift, the other thing I prefer is people ask me what I want and get it for me, (like my Gibson Guitar). I like the surprise factor but sometimes what they get you is not something you really need.

Pay extra? Depends upon the gift certificate issuer. They are very strict in MA.
