SOCIAL MOB RULE OR IN YOUR FACEBOOK
As a former user of facebook and Myspace I feel I can comment confidently on the phenomenon of social media. I tried it. It's not for me. I can appreciate all the positives as far as reaching people with ease. Some people (I won't mention names) immediately stopped reading my blogs, after I left facebook. If I wasn't there shoving my link in their face, allowing them a simple click, they weren't that interested. I dig it. You're busy. It's fine. Read me or not. I honestly don't care. And this is why I left the giant circle jerk that is social media. I cared too much what you thought. I waited for your "likes" and if they weren't forth coming, I felt bad. I questioned what I had posted. Was it no good? Was I no good? I'm a one way transmitter. I really don't want to discuss. Let me keep my illusions.
And these days the term "social media" might as well be "social mob". It can be measured very simply. It's in the numbers and everyone from the national news to the Yahoo feed pay attention. Just ask that poor kid who shot that white deer or any other schmuck that may want to go against the grain and post on fb. Immediately fb is up in arms. I know, it's egalitarian and I like that part of it. But it is also bullying in it's heavy handed, PC, we are the world and know best, goody- goodyness. I'm a feminist, but do I have to worry about the newest "Perfect Body" ad campaign by Victoria's Secret, just because "social media" tells me i should? Since when did women start paying attention to unrealistic body types? Come on people- they're supposed to be unrealistic. And last, but by no means least, the social hysteria involved in keeping a Maine nurse under house arrest because she went to West Africa to help with the ebola crisis. She has no symptoms and should not be quarantined. Why don't you all shut the fuck up and pay attention to the science, not the mob.
Otherwise the rut is starting to heat up. I had a four pointer run four big does right behind my stand over at Majestic a couple of nights ago. A front has gone through and the weekend should be cold. This may get the shooters up on their feet. If I only had a cell phone I'd try Instagram. But that ain't gonna happen any time soon. Looks like this is all you get.

EMERGENCY PRE-HALLOWEEN WEDDING
I got the call late on Friday. Old friend R. Kennedy and his Brazilian sidekick ********** were on tour hyping the latest CD from their band The Jam Messengers- GUILTY and were in a bit of a pickle. *********girlfriend ******** was driving her car, schlepping them from gig to gig, and 2 shows into a 17 show tour the strain of being on the road was already starting to show. It seems ******** being from the south, had taken a chastity pledge and had somehow forgotten to tell ********. Purity Balls had turned blue and in desperation Kennedy called me to see if I could help. ******* could no longer sit at the drums.
I listened patiently. "I don't know what I can do." I said, sympathizing with the sitch. "How about marrying them?" RK suggested. "I don't think this tour can continue without doing something." Rob moaned. I could hear LIKE A VIRGIN playing in the background. Well, we did have a Halloween party scheduled for Sat. I guess it theoretically could work. If they could somehow secure a license before the county clerk's office closed for the weekend.....well my credentials were in order.
So it was, that on one day's notice we here at the CLGM joined in holy mime matrimony ******** and *******. Shewho and I came as the " Mimes of ISIS" and I was able to administer the wedding vows in silence, letting my white gloves do all the talking. They tied the imaginary knot and I hope they will live happily ever after. The congregation witnessed the event in full costume, I signed the papers and the newlyweds took off today, heading for Maryland. Did they have sex last night? I guess those of you who can make the Fredericksburg gig will have to let the rest of us know how ******** straddles that stool tonight. For those of you who are about to fuck....we salute you.

NAZI NEWS
It must be that so much time has gone by, and the global educational system is so poor that the young people in power these days just don't realize what exactly happened during WWII. The latest example of products in bad taste is a Swiss company offering "figures of history" creamer top collectables in the form of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. All you savy collectors out there that snapped up the Walter and Jesse dolls in the Breaking Bad collection at Toys R Us better get on it. Both the creamer company and the doll makers have pulled these products. One has to wonder if this was the end game all along. How else would these guys get press?
It's one thing for knowledgable individuals in government to grant actual Nazis lifetime Social Security benefits and another for seemingly clueless execs. to try to make money off of the image of one of the most notorious mass murderers in history. I don't know which is worse, but if I had to choose I'd say giving SS to the SS is pretty bad. How do you justify even a penny coming out of the SS coffers going to an old Nazi? I'd say "heads should roll" at SS, but in light of all the beheadings lately, that would be in bad taste. As long as my check comes on time, I'll keep quiet.
I haven't been hunting hard. It's been warm and the action has been slow. i did let a nice 8 pointer walk last week down at GNJohn's orchard stand. Now I'm second guessing that decision. I had a perfect broadside, 10 yard shot and judged the wide racked deer to be too young. I think I'm watching too much "hunter porn" on the Pursuit Channel. I forget that this ain't Iowa. It's a good chance that will be my last opportunity. Savage Lynch hasn't even seen a buck, let alone a shooter. In the meantime Nazis and Social Security items top the news alongside Ebola and ISIS. Don't forget Halloween Party this Sat. 8pm. Costumes optional. Sieg Heil!

SS# ... .. ....
In August I turned 62. I know for years I've said I was 10 years older. It was a lie. As a 62 year old I am eligible for social security. Hard to believe that even with all those zero columns the US government is going to cut me a monthly check from now until I croak. It won't be much, but hey anything is welcome. It's not like I'm on the government teat. I paid money into the system that now will dole it back out to me. On Wed. I applied for and was accepted into the Social Security system. So in honor of this event I retired from writing www.huntingwithsupermodels.blogspot.com. It now stands along side my other blogs in cyperspace- Luckymike, Christmo, Holylgm, Parishitler, and Mohuntingwithsupermodels, all on blogspot. If blogspot ever goes under I'll lose 10 years of writing. Read 'em while you can.
This new blog is named after the Alaskan TV personality's on-air resignation, "I fucking quit.....in order to concentrate on my marijuana farm full time." I have no such farm, but it kinda summed up what I feel these days. There's no way for an artist to retire and that's one of the big reasons i picked this path. I've been semi-retired since I was about 30. Who needs to work like a dog all their life, just to retire, get sick and die? Everything in moderation....especially work. But I can quit so many things. I can quit sweating my career. I can quit worrying where my next dollar will come from. I can quit bitching about people not returning phone calls or emails. I can quit belly aching over minuscule bullshit and concentrate on what matters in life. I can quit even pretending that I will quit smoking pot, drinking or watching internet porn. Retirement ain't so bad.
So, in quitting one thing I am starting anew with another. In many ways you'll hardly notice the change. I'll still search out great photographers and beautiful women. I'll still post the art I'm working on (and hopefully include more of other artist's work). I'll continue to hunt, do churches, piss off the neighbors, have opinions about stuff, and write it down here. So welcome to my golden years. I'm just waiting on the check.
