Intelligent Political debate

Do you believe intelligent political debate is possible?

I'm starting to think it may not be as these days both parties speak in phrases (or memes) meant to stir emotions instead of thoughts...

My Song Mondays

Monday

Words by John Zakour (It's meant to be bad...)

Meant to sort of be song to the tune of Fridays…

Oh Oh Oohhh

No No No

Say it isn’t so so so

[VERSE 1]

7am, drag myself out of bed.

Kick myself in the head.

Grab a cup of morning Jo.

Still ain’t nearly ready enough to go.

Got to eat something nah never mind…

I don’t really got the time…

Well at least I’m good at making lousy rhymes

Oh man in such a rut

My boss is sure to kick me in the butt…

Waiting in line for the bus…

Why do I make such a fuss?

It’s Monday Monday

Oh NOT a fun day.

Nobody’s looking forward to the work week, work week…

Monday, Monday

If you’re looking forward to this you’re a geek.

Working, working, working (NO!)

Working, working, working (NO!)

Yuck, yuck, yuck

Just makes me want to say….

[Verse 2]

9:45, stuck at work…

Time moves slow my boss is a jerk

Toil, toil, toil…

Make my blood want to boil…

Man I got this so wrong…

My coworker sits on my right…

I’m pretty sure he smokes a bong.

Man this day just goes on and on….

Sitting at my desk…

Still sitting at my desk…

Looking up at the clock…

I feel like a big dumb rock.

[Bridge]

Yesterday was Sunday, Sunday

It’s a more fun than Monday

I’m so bored…

We’re all so bored…

Wow what a lousy day…

Tomorrow is Tuesday, Tuesday…

Wednesday follows after that...

I gotta work those too…

So I don’t really give a hoo…

[RAP VERSE]

J-Z, not the famous one…

He makes this song up on the run…

Sitting at his desk every Monday

Typing, Typing, Typing away

Typing, Typing, More and More

He makes words and words galore. (Woo!)

(C’mon) Still just sitting at his desk

Making words all in jest.

Sure enough it’s Monday now.

I’ll get through I don’t know how…

[CHORUS]

It’s Monday Monday

Oh NOT a fun day.

Nobody’s looking forward to the work week, work week…

Monday, Monday

If you’re looking forward to this you’re a freak.

Working, working, working (NO!)

Working, working, working (NO!)

Yuck, yuck, yuck

Just makes me want to say….

Maria's Day

A comic from Scott Roberts and I that we hope will find like at Universal Syndicate.

Yo

Hi all:

Just thought I'd check in.

We're trying to get more papers and readers for Working Daze so there will be some changes coming in the near future.

There will be a company name change and the company will change the focus of the group we pay so much attention too. We also may cut the geek jokes ever so slightly. It will still be the same the Working Daze just a bit more focused.

Oh, please write your local papers asking them to consider adding working daze.

OOOPPPPS

I messed up in the last two Working Daze cartoons. Bad me. I somehow either forget that the month of October exists and or that it is a binary month being the 10th month. Silly me. No defense I just messed up.

This will be addressed in future cartoons.

Happy new year

Hi all:

Happy new year. The folks at working daze will be changing a bit in the coming year. They'll still be the same folks only now their company will be focusing on games and entertainment software. Why? Well, they say "write what you know." And now the time I spend playing World of Warcraft can be seen as research.

Let's make 2011 a good year! Hopefully I will have two or three books coming....

JZ Monday Rant About TV commercials

Hi all:

A new feature, probably weekly on my blog, I am going to rant about television and well web commercials I find to be extra lame.

Okay, Snuggie is a pretty lame product to begin with, but singing about a snuggie to the Macarana should really be considered a crime against humanity. Yes this is even worse than putting a snuggie on a pet. If anybody ever really actually showed up to a football game in snuggie I'm pretty sure they would be laughed out of the stands. Nothing says NOT football like a snuggie. But singing about a snuggie to the Macarana my brain is still hurting.

You can see for yourself here....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN_Ml4PKdVU&NR=1 Be warned it's not for the faint of heart.

The other super lame commercial is the one for the McDonalds dollar menu at breakfast. The one where Mark is trying to impress the pretty woman from 3C. Mark has failed to impress the nameless woman before, but now he strikes home by bringing up the McDonald's dollar burrito at breakfast. According to the commercial, "she's interested". Of course what beautiful woman couldn't help but to be impressed with a guy with intimate knowledge of the McDonald's dollar menu? Yes sir, nothing impresses a lady more than saying, "I know how to spend a dollar."

You can view that one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK6imn8a77s
