Is it possible to be prepared for the arrival of the aliens?

Today I'm reading a great deal about Australian aborigines. Upon their arrival in Australia the British found them disagreeable because they had no law, or single ruling entity. It was impossible to negotiate with these people. How do you easily conquer a people who think and behave as individuals?
When the aliens come for us will they have a difficult time understanding our system? Will they ever be able to comprehend why George W. Bush is able to speak for so many who despise and disagree with him?

Massah

I have found it's rather helpful to work a job where you have plenty of free time to surf the internet. It's nice to get paid to learn about the things that interest you, if nothing else I've found that a low score in Mah Jong solitaire is much easier to accept when you can calculate how much money someone just paid you to play Mah Jong poorly.
Today I took it upon myself to use my time here in the office to learn all about the mysterious process of mastering a record. I really very much enjoyed my reading and in approximately six months time I will put that information to use in choosing a mastering facility for the Shitting Glitter album "Free Alongside Ship".

Flying requires lubrication

Free hotel rooms cost a great deal in cab fare and carbohydrate filled beer. Gay bars take great pictures. Long walks home through window shops and horn honks, stumbled steps and exposed asses.
A magic wand of safety need not bother white girls, they know better then to pack heat where they eat. They may be strapping, but rubber doesn't beep.
Early morning sound check should have been a head check. Sun beaming down, drowning out sounds, making sober karaoke come off like art. An old joke six pack, hits the "boom boom", still sounds the same when it's the exact same track. Does it still get stuck in your head Paul?
The politics of being queer. Too many drag queens, not enough mirrors.

Alba Queer Kee

I'm all bundles of excitement, thinkin' bout travel. I'm always traveling forward in time, but I'm not always aware of it. Today I have the privilege of traveling not only in time, but in space as well and if my good luck holds, tonight my head will hit the pillow in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I play very queer guitar in a very gay band called "Shitting Glitter". Apparently a group of gay New Mexicans are getting together this weekend, and they wanted some other gay people to come play music for them, we had told them if they were going to do that then we would be really interested in playing our music and they said "we want you guys to be a part of this thing, it would make us proud." So Shitting Glitter is heading to Albuquerque to play queer music for gay pride.

I have an obsession with traveling to Easter Island. I've heard it costs around $8,000 to fly there. I'm not really that into the huge head statues, but I bet they are okay. My attraction stems from the history of the island, and from the complete isolation. I have been told there are really great shopping malls there.

Friction

The wearing off of a hard drunk is a function patience. It's important to remember that your head will feel better, your ass and stomach will regain their composure, it's just going to take time. Luck would have me having time today, so I take that to mean I'm lucky! Sitting here in my little office, lucky.

The twink in the desk across from me is probably starting to resent the fact that he is doing all my work while I type away at something mysterious and secret.
