Banda Aid - Cause This Is A Boo Boo

Mexicans + Lounge Lizard Clothing + Polka Music + Cowboys + MTV = Banda Bands

Not that you asked, but since you're here I'll tell you. In short "Banda Music" is a type of Polka music played by bands that are comprised of Mexican men who dress like lounge lizards and often wear cowboy hats. In the 1880's this type of Polka music was cast into the bowels of the earth by German occultists, and it clawed its way, through hell, only to unearth itself in the northwest state of Sinaloa, Mexico. It then proceeded to hypnotize the natives into thinking this dark carnival music was "Lo Maximo" i.e. "The Sh*t".

This is what "Banda" music sounds like:

Look... My mom is from Sinaloa Mexico, and that is where Mexican Banda Music originates. It's a good thing my mom doesn't use computers because she'd probably disown me for speaking less than spectacularly about Banda Music. But damn, I'm sorry mom! They dress like Lounge Lizards who are trying to outdo each other with how awful their "costumes" can be. Not even used car salesmen would wear the clothes that members of Banda Bands choose to wear. Here a few examples:

(Oh! My virgin eyes!)

Here is a long list of other Banda Groups

Banda Bands play Polka music. O.k? Tell me WHO likes Polka music? When is the last time you popped in a CD of Polka music? If you did pop in a Polka CD did you "jam out" to it? NO! You said "WTF!?" And you hit the eject button... And just because my mom is from Sinaloa MX and I'm of Mexican descent I'm supposed to like Banda Music?
See... I know people (like my brother) who are thinking that I'm "whacked" for not liking "Banda"... I KNOW these critics won't listen to it, but "Polka" branded as "Banda Music" is o.k. all of a sudden? The same way that like... You wouldn't eat blueberry cake in the morning, but... If that blueberry cake chit was called a "muffin" it would suddenly be alright to eat cake for breakfast? TRICK!

Perhaps one day I'll convert and start liking Banda music, for now I can't get past the Polka part.

School and Home School

Oh my. I don't have time to write this. So it will be as follows: 1. What is school for? I think that Seth has a good grasp on this at the bottom, see [1] 2. There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling. 3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time. 4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it. 5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc. 6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone. 7. Th...

Is Your Government A Narcissist?

First of all, I apologize. Writing is a craft that takes ample time to do well, but I live in time and society that necessitates swift communication. The two don't go well together. I'm a single father who also looks after his elderly father, so there will be some grammatical mistakes, as well as composition related ones. Please endure with me through a semi edited writing. UNO There's a reporter who's controversial Tucker Carlson. I couldn't tell you why he's controversial, I just know that he is by how people talk about him. I also heard that Tucker Carlson is on the "far right". In our ZANY society, if you identify as the opposing party, in this case that would be "the left", it is almost socially mandatory that an individual express negativity for that person. Because if you don't someone might look at you suspiciously. DOS There's a personality disorder call "Narcissist" . They come in a couple of flavors. Tucker Car...

Does Art Necessitate Mental Unrest?

Music alone is not enough And being a film director is too much It's usually the case that there's nothing that I want to say badly enough to put myself through the labor. There was a time when I really wanted to say something, and I did. But, mental well being, in a way, quells the desire to express myself through art. Something about art has been about me not being seen enough, good enough, or just enough period. Feeling like enough kills the drive to express yourself in what David Bowie once called "such rarefied terms". I still make music, I still record music, almost never finish it, and share it with others even less. There's more to me than being a musician. I do have a love for it, but I need more. I always hated math, I've grown curious about it, and have gotten substantially better. The pandemic compelled me to become a roof salesman and to get my insurance adjusters license. I still laugh at that, but nothing is wasted. Transferable knowledge is tak...
