One Year In Texas Talk 10-06-10

By Nate



One Year In Texas Talk is an answering machine we have set up to our OYIT hotline. Please call in and leave an anonymous message. If we deem it worthy, it will show up in this weekly piece. Tell us what's on your mind. It doesn't even have to pertain to the website!

No rights for sinners

Yeah, I was calling in because we have to stop the liberal indoctrination that's going on at college campuses. You know what they're teaching at college? That homosexual marriage is a human rights issue. That's ridiculous. Being gay is a sin. You don't need special rights because you're committing a grotesque sin. Wake up people. They're just homosexuals.

Stop the presses

Now, I don't know if this is true or not, but I saw on the History Channel that aliens may have built the pyramids in ancient Egypt. So why is everybody getting so upset about illegal aliens building our garages? All aliens are alike and nobody is going around complaining about the pyramids, at least not that I have heard.

Gas, Grass or...Mass!?

I have a problem with local teens sticking forks in my lawn at night. When I wake up the next day there are about 100 plastic forks sticking in my lawn and overnight they froze there and are really hard to pull out. I don't know where they got this idea, but it is reprehensible. I work hard on my lawn, I mow it about every 9 or so days. I think we need to send these kids to church and let the lord work them over. Maybe then they would have some respect for other people's property.

Don't put this on the Computer

I see the university has hired a bunch of Asian faculty and Hispanics. I wonder how many of those can speak good English. How many times do students have to deal with teachers that can’t speak English? I’ve had the wonderful experience of having to deal with a doctor at the med center who had to repeat everything he said twice just so I could understand a single word he said. We should not have people working here who do not speak good English. And don’t put this on the computer. Put it in the paper.

Chapter and Verse

Regarding the caller who suggested Barack Obama is not baptized, I call his attention to Page 208 of ‘The Audacity of Hope’ in the chapter titled ‘Faith,’ in which Obama describes being baptized at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. He wrote ‘I felt God’s spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to his will and dedicated myself to discovering his truth.

Rebel yell

I think I am finally starting to figure out President Obama. Since he has a ax to grind with America and America’s past, the reason he won’t help any of the Southern states with the immigration problem is because they were rebels during the Civil War. He is not going to help anyone whom he sees was against his African-American side.

With child

I work with this girl who at one time was a real go-getter. Now she can’t push a broom to sweep the floor and cannot lift anything. Why? Because she is pregnant. In my opinion, if you can’t push a broom to sweep the floor, then you should be on bed rest. If you can’t lift anything, stop lifting the cigarettes to your mouth.

The Bible says

There’s a danger with the government controlling our health care as well as our pensions. In Revelations, it says unless you belong to a certain persuasion, you will not be allowed to compete in commerce. In other words, you will do what you’re told, or you will not trade or eat or be taken care of. Once the government has the ability to sway your votes, you’ll be compelled to do what they say.

America's Chickens are coming home to roost!

AMERICANS claim to be serious about education. However, when a suggestion is made to extend the school year to equal that of other advanced nations in the world, the public will come up with every excuse in the book not to do so. To me, this illustrates that the children rule the roost.

The Needle and the Damage Done...by texting and cell phones?

Today we were going to a meeting and we were going east on Mitchell Avenue. Right on 26th Street, I just happened to look out the window as a passenger and there, laying very plainly on the grass, was somebody’s used needle. That was absolutely the stupidest thing that people could do. But they are drug people, so that’s why they don’t have any brains. Children could pick that up and get germs from it. And if you have HIV, you can give it to those kids because they’d play with the needle. That is absolutely ludicrous. Texting is a problem, yes, but the cell phones are worse. If you can’t walk and chew bubble gum, how do you expect to drive a car and talk?

Good Morning Vegas

By Glenn 

Good morning. Right now I'm writing you from the most decadent city in the world: Las Vegas, Nevada. Judging from the violent, threatening (yet strangely erotic) emails I've been getting over the past few weeks, many readers on this website are upset at the lack of articles with my name on top. I apologize. You see, I'm currently conducting a cross country road trip to raise awareness about HIV. Through Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and even Arizona (although just the tip there), I've been giving people HIV. Just like how a conservative father can only come to terms with homosexuality and its culture from having a gay son, people can only really be aware of HIV once they have it. Your city could be next!


Today's Weather

The weather report from Vegas is good. Although as I explained last night during the evening hours the sun goes down and it gets colder, during the day it's quite warm. Today's high will be 62 degrees - the same amount of money I lost after playing the penny slots last night. The millions and millions of kilowatts used to light up the city keep it somewhat warm at night, but not warm enough for the prostitutes on the strip to leave their coyote fur coats at home.


Today's Personal Sleeping Fact


I haven't slept in my "own" bed (which, to me, is a $150 air mattress from Target) in a few weeks. When I have my own room at the place I'm visiting, this isn't really an issue. I was forced growing up to sleep on a bed of nails, so the relative "comfort" of my mattress isn't important. What can affect me greatly is noise because I am disturbed very easily. The advantage to this is that in my old house I could always hear if AJ was disturbing my feather collection in the basement. The disadvantage is that when I'm sleeping on a couch even a door opening and closing will jolt me out of sleep, keep me awake for days - during which time I'll usually clean the floors and ceilings of every room in the house and organize all the silverware in the house by the most negative to most positive auras.


Today's Time Zone
So now I'm in the Pacific Time Zone.

There are definitely some great things about being here, such as when I wake up in the morning and get online to chat, my Eastern Time friends are already halfway through their day. Also, this is the time zone where Nirvana and Death Cab got their starts. The major drawback comes when you want to watch TV. Think of a show that you really love and watch every week. Do you have it? Okay, great. (I know it's The Hills, by the way). Let's say that show is on 10pm in the East. That means it's also on 10pm here, but 10pm here is really 1:00am in New York City! So that means we can't watch shows until hours after people in South Carolina, for example, have. The only thing I want to be behind South Carolina on is racial justice.


Today's Prediction
The South Carolina legislature will finally ratify the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments of the US Constitution in hopes to increase tourism from Oregon and Nevada. It won't be enough though, so they will also pass a law adopting Pacific Time Zone. Business will boom as Charleston becomes the new Portland and Myrtle Beach the new Carson City, at least culturally. I realize that if I play Nirvana's Live at Reading as loud as possible on my headphones I can get back to sleep after being awoken early in the morning by a dog whistle 500 miles away. I'm going to sleep with a coyote fur blanket.

Wake up! It's a Tuesday morning. No time left to say goodbye.

By Glenn 

Greetings. In today's good morning post, we'll cover Neil Young's lost album Time Fades Away, gym etiquette, my new bluetooth and the weather. Do you ever have a moment in your day to day life when you're driving your car down the road and you think about what it would be like to drive off a bridge or into a median? If you do, you need to go see what we call a "therapist" or "counselor." These feelings are not healthy, and no amount of good morning posts are going to fix whatever deep seated problem that's causing you to fantasize about a violent, automobile-based death. I talked to someone recently about what it would take to become a counselor, but I realize now that I already am. You are in a chair as you read this but you might as well be on the proverbial therapist's couch.

[I genuinely think if I didn't work in politics I would want to be a counselor of some sort. I like to help people with their problems because I don't have any myself.]


Today's Weather
I know when you wake up it's dark and it feels cold, but it's not as bad as you imagine. For example, today our high was 18 degrees. It may not sound like much, but it's important to acknowledge and embrace the small victories in your day to day life. Last week I don't think it got above zero degrees, even during high noon. Now I can walk outside in a hooded sweatshirt and a corduroy jacket with no gloves or hat. Do I get cold quickly? Sure, but I've decided that I'm not going to let the weather or my parents dictate my life.


Today's Lost Neil Young Album

Are you familiar with Neil Young's "lost" album Time Fades Away? I've long heard rumors of it, but just chalked it up to another great experience in this life that I would never have. Then, while visiting my parents on Christmas, it happened: I found the album in mp3 form online. For a slew of reasons, this album has never been released on CD. Young has stated he's disappointed in the album technically and artistically. Sometimes we are our own worst critics. I would ask that you all search out this hidden gem and review it positively in the comments section of this website. Let's boost Neil's self esteem.


Today's Lesson in Gym Etiquette
Please wipe down your machines after you use them. If someone uses it after you do and touches your sweat they can contract HIV.



Today's Cell Phone Accesory
Communication is the building block of any relationship. I'm constantly looking for ways to be more open and sharing with people that I love or people that I want to love. One of these ways that I have found is with my new bluetooth headset (pictured here).


Look real close. Can you see it? This is what I used to have hands free discussion. This is what I will use to get closer to people. You can't fear rejection when it comes through such a small earpiece and you can finally speak your mind when you know it has to travel the course of your tear-streaked cheeks.


Today's Prediction
Using your bluetooth at the gym will become the new faux pas, but I will use it one last time to exclaim, while on a phone call with my therapist, "I just got AIDS!" Snap Fitness will adopt this as their new slogan, which will immediately put them out of business. That's called self destructive behavior, which is also what led to Danny Whitten's death during the Time Fades Away tour. It was a sacrifice the island demanded.
