Thank you for staying open so, so late.
QuoteTaco Bell
Thank you for staying open so, so late.
You know, I've never had a Taco Bell. It's not good Mexican food, is it?
I miss Burger King, we only have Mac in Japan :-/
No, it's really average fast food mexican, but it IS open late. Which makes it very attractive at 2 in the morning.
But, the quality is definitely above McDonalds.
Ouch, I miss BK for you...I missed that part.
Dude, I'm sending you a Whopper in the mail.
It should arrive in 6-8 weeks.
No need to thank me. 8)

My current joys:
My wife and boy.
The fact that my boy is learning to play guitar. (He's 6!)
My fluffy dog.
My band. We're totally cheesy.
The Flying V that I just ordered. (According to the UPS tracker, it is in Nashville. So hopefully it will be here tomorrow).
my job.
playing soccer and football outside with a bunch of kids and getting dirty sweaty and loving every minute of it. and getting paid for it, on top of that.
the fact that John Prine's and Ben Folds' kids attend this school that i work at, and will be in the afterschool program. I will be working with famous peoples' kids. How weird is that?
How in the hell did I score this job? This is pure resume beef and I thought I just sumbled on a decent paying after-school job. Not one of the most elite in Nashville, by any means.
Frickin weird.
Ha. Very cool, Tom. Maybe you can teach them guitar too. :)
i thought ben folds lives in adelaide? (his wife is australian)
nope. lives right down the street from me here in nashville, TN. my friends have seen him at starbucks or while they were out jogging. he's got a for sale sign up at his house, though...
I'm actually more excited for you over having the chance to run into John Prine
oh yaeh I forgot to mention my silly Shar Pei, Baby, who rolls over almost every time you touch him for a belly rub and Sable the German Shep mix who sleeps upside down and Teddy my personal snuffleupagus (all canines in case I wasn't crystal clear ;))
I got my school scheeeeeeeedule!!!
i got free F! and photography! and steve for chemistry! and mr. curnen for spanish!

Haha, I was kidding, I know who he is.
I used to love Steve Wright in the afternoon & the king of the airwaves, Mr. Terry Wogan! I still tune in on the internet & listen to Wogan sometimes :)
I thought you would have, but couldn't be sure because you're a lot younger than me.
Speaking of Steve Wright, have you heard Ask Elvis? It is just hilarious and that rare thing, a truly original idea. I know you can hear it on bbc.co.uk so give it a try if you haven't already.
33 this year Doc, there's nothing young about me any more!
Is Ask Elvis part of the Steve Wright show? Cheers for the heads up, I'll def tune in :)
Yeah, it's an occasional feature. An Elvis impersonator (a really good one) takes and answers listeners' questions. They can be about anything - DIY, relationships, travelling directions, anything, but the cool thing is the guy does the research and answers them in a completely dead-pan way, as Elvis!
You've got to listen. It'll crack you up. Try the link on the radio 2 website.
Cheers Doc, you're a star! ;D
Here's a link if anyone else is interested:

Just got back to work from lunch and a trip to the used CD store.
I came out of there with the new Neko Case, a Neil Young disc and a Ryan Adams disc all for the grand total of $20.12 including tax. ;D
My work drive to KC tommorow just improved 10 fold.
I just left the music store, and they usually charge 9.99 for new releases, but all WSP cds were on sale. Bought Space Wrangle (2nd copy) and Widespread Panic for $20... not as good as you Bermuda though.

i got my car back today.
and im finally able to immerse myself in the new m. ward album.
finding that you have created music which someone has fonud on their own, and given their own meaning, in such a way where it means something to them that you could never have influenced.
i'm realizing, i need to explain my work less. it's strange, i've fought so hard for the meanings of so many mmj songs, and i'm not realizing Jim is so totally correct in not wanting people to get caught up in his definition, but in what it means to them. that's why he writes the music, is for those listening. i still have no idea how to write like that, but i understand that purpose now.
the strangest thing is, i've got a lot of meaning behind my song "bulletproof", all of it being about this relationship i had. but things are so specific when i explain them to people. but when someone doesn't hear all that, and they give the song meaning by understanding it's meaning in a way that depends on where they've been, then you've made art. art is half what you mean, and half what the audience makes it to be.
and here's the crazy part, or crazy when i learned it. is that, those are, in essence, the same thing. when you make music, you take a story, or an experience, or a feeling, and make it into a substance only able to be described as music. and in that atmosphere, your words lose their meaning in order that the listener can reassign it's meaning. you still have your own personal reasons why the song effects you, but the reality is, you both connect with that song in a similar way. it ought to evoke something unique in each of you, but the important thing is this: that evocation stems from a certain characteristic of the music. a song written in one certain way ought to affect each listener in a very similar way, not to say pull out the same exact hting in all of them, but to resonate with them in a similar way.
i think i've been robbing my friends of meaning to my music when i sit down and explain every nuance. i think a general influence for the song is wonderful, understanding why it is what it is, how it got there, i suppose. but to define the meaning of it is wrong. the meaning of it is completely individual. once you let others in on it, you've lost your power to define it.
that is extremely scary, but i think it's beautiful. you have to be willing to surrender a lot about yourself - your control, especially - in order to be an honest musician. if you hold anything back, try to define it too much, it gets drowned. the tighter your grip on what a song is, the less others will want to take hold of it for themselves.
so this is new. and it makes me overjoyed. especially that this girl found my music and resonated with it strongly enough to have it play on her myspace. that makes me ridiculously happy. people get my music, and i didn't even know i was capable of that. i thought i was just writing music for me, but apparently it's a lot bigger than that.
it's strange how one person can make your world feel huge.
just popped by to check out what's new.... and tom's had an epiphany moment!!!
Quotei still have no idea how to write like that, but i understand that purpose now.
i don't write music, but i would say that people write music for themselves essentially (like you said, it all stems from a personal feeling or experience), and when you or i get that resonating moment with a song, we're resonating with the feeling or experience that the writer had, which is communicated via the tone, the pitch, the melody, the lyrics etc of the song.... so i would say that you write like that now, tom.
i understand why people want to understand the minute, intimate details behind songs, and analyse the lyrics and the tone of the music to the nth degree, but for me, that's kind of missing the point of music. music is just emotion, and you relate to it in your own way, and get out of it what you do.
love music for the way it makes you feel!
reading how that's changed your view of things, and made you happy in a weird way made me feel happy too.... vicarious epiphany-moment-joy!

Just last week I got accepted into this program called SWS... School within a School. It's so much better for me "up there" (it's ont he fourth floor of our school).
THe main school is 2000 + students...but SWS is only 120 sophomores, juniors and seniors. It's a more democratic community where we have more discussion based classes. We're on a first name basis with teachers, it's more relaxed, and every Tuesday we have a "Town Meeting" where we go over current conflicts, resolve issues, or just catch up on business matters....
I'm taking Chemistry and English (which is mandatory) up there now, and it's just so so so much better. This semsester I'm taking a course called Individuals and Instititutions and next semester I'm goign to take either Philosophy or Humanities.
Gah. So much stress relieved...

I can write a relatively decent bs paper about 17th century Japanese literature in less than an hour. If the same principle applies to my writing abilities in early 19th century American literature (which I actually am beginning to thoroughly enjoy), then perhaps I'll see a full five hours of sleep.
Is it good or bad when five hours of sleep seems like a lot?
QuoteIs it good or bad when five hours of sleep seems like a lot?
lots of amazing people sleep on less than 4 hours.
i don't buy this sleep needs thing. everybody's different. some people need 10 hours, some people need 5.
that's my take on the situation at hand.
i think older people can get by on less without it screwing em up as much. as for 18 year olds, i'm relatively helpless at the moment.

i don't know what your point is, exactly, but i get very very little sleep (mostly goign to bed around 2, 3 o clock, waking around seven) but i'm functionable.

maybe i'm not functionable because i make up words.
anyway,. i can sleep for fourteen hours, or i could sleep for four.

Don't you frickin dare give up! That is good for a month! Don't let it fool ya. Give it a couple more weeks and you'll be thorughly impressed. You've got good coverage already, it just looks like you might be a slower grower, and that ain't a bad thing. keep pressing for it man, you won't be disappointed. it won't be thin, it'll just take a little time to get there.

Quietness and Coffee. I have decided to spend most of my weekend alone in peace. My brother, who is also my roommate, is gone and it is so quiet. I can walk around naked all day if I feel the need, not that I will but it's good to know when you can. The only downfall about this weekend is the inevitable homework and studying that must be done Sunday.

FRIDAY!
Even though I'm not out. I figured I'd take the night off and sorta relax. People came over.
Also, I had a math test, and I think I won. I think I did. I think I did really well.
Now I'm drawing a picture beacuse my herbalized mind is good at that at times like this...
guae3jm.
Vinyl!
I'm listening to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in it's entirety for the first time ever. On vinyl.
I love my Dad.
I found out I get to go home in two weeks! It will be the first time I have been able to go to Alabama in over a year. Yes, it's only for two days, but I'm still excited.
;D
I have class in a little over an hour.
I've been up since 4 in the afternoon yesterday. Which, consequently, still feels like today.
God gave us sleep for a very good reason.
Lucky for me, one more skip of my biology class and I am automatically withdraw/failed. So that's no good. I will be there 8am biology. Not because I love you, but because I have to.
I think I'm going to go have a cigarette and watch the sun rise. It's going to be a beautiful morning. And I do honestly mean that.
i'm getting fairly excited about friday - my project goes to tender after months of hard slog..........
and come 5pm ali's hitting the pub. YAY!!
yo mr eisenbraun, what was that about being in class at 8am??
oh i was there. biology ain't my favorite, but it's funny how stuff can be interesting when you're fighting to stay alive.

i have no work to do today.
i love mondays.

I've had 3 cups of coffee, a bowl of chicken soup, and I'll probably be delerious with benedryl and a Kung Fu film, before the night is over.

it's 50 degrees in austin right now, which won't sound like cold to most of you, but it is like a blizzard to us. i'm going out in a coat. i have a teacher training today and i'm pissed because i want to see all the kiddos in their coats.

I took the highway home instead of the interstate. Although it was pouring for the duration of my journey, it was lovely.
Good call, Meg! ;D
I get to go see Borat this weekend!
Meg, back me up with a great Borat quote!
"She must be tight, like a man's anus."
Nice.
"In my country, Barbara means 'to play with' and Bush means...ehh...ladies pubies".
James Joyce! T.S. Eliot!
I've been so bogged down with the technical aspects of literature this semester that I'd totally forgotten how much power and beauty a simple phrase can hold. It's as if some sentences leap off the page and smack you in the face. I absolutely love it. And not just for its aesthetic qualities...
I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to finally get passionate about my English studies again. Reading Joyce (and Eliot's next!) is so inspiring; I want to read and read... and then read some more. I want to lose myself in these works that encompass everything about the human experience. I just... I love it!
[/dork rant]
i can't handle joyce. he's bland and boring, but that's just my opinion.
i prefer wordsworth and coleridge.
Wordsworth and Coleridge are great, too.
I just can't help myself from idolizing Joyce.
Here are two great quotes from the man himself:
"Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize."
"Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality."
Carrot cake!

Hey you were on the North Shore same time as me--I was living in Saugus until sometime in late 1990. I loved how quick I could get in and out of Boston from there. That's actually the worst part of Boston--the getting there and leaving, once you're there you're okay.

Back to my Eliot rant... before I learned how the name "My Morning Jacket" came about, I thought the band name was a reference to "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," which contains the phrase "My Morning Coat." :D

Are You Afraid of the Dark was the bomb... unfortunately I'm a total pussy, so I rarely saw the entirety of many episodes.
Backstory: One of my coworkers left us Monday, and we had this little going away party for him. At said party, ice cream was served. Not just any ice cream, but the kind in the individual serving cups. Total elementary school throwback moment. You know what I'm talking about. They look like this:

So, I go to the freezer today to get my shitty frozen lunch, and what do I find peeking out at me from behind the "healthy choice" box but two of those little ice cream cups. "Chocolate Fudge Sundae," the label said.
I ate them. Both. And it was awesome.

my current joy is connected to the NFL, having seen 3 consecutive colts' games on tv from the comfort of my home, and watching the bengals self destruct like i knew they would. they'll have trouble with cleveland, if they keep on this pace.
yesterday was the first day i thought about christmas trees, and then i felt excited about them.
A business that I thought I was interviewing for today actually wants me to come in to work, at noon, and check the place out and get a feel for things. I have no clue what exactly they want from me, but it's somewhat related to my field of interest... and it is a job.
I've got some heavy anxiety, like damn... I got laid off from my old job because I was replaced by an old employee who wanted her job back and she knew the ropes better than I did. I guess I'm a slow learner, and I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with all of the various jobs it seems they'll be throwing at me.
Two locations, working in a Studio, mixing paints, silk screening?, working on the computer (doing what?!), possibly building their website?....
I guess it's not really a "Joy" until I know I like the job.

no. :-/
but see, that's the awesomeness! we went and we knew we were gonna get the canned speech, but us; being our strong, responsible selves (?), pushed them away from all that stuff, the "if i could rewind, i'd certainly do it over" and discussed more than that! of course they told us the cliche speech that i'm sure everoyne else has recieviedt hat goes there, but i'm certain nobody talked to them like we did! i love my class, yee. 8)
now i jsut have to write my paper... i'm thinking about writing it on submissive, passive behavior within the institution, vs the more agressive behavior... looking at whether or not their identity is still within them, or whether they shy away from their true selves in order to create this more tough persona. exploring the difference between subconsicously loosing ones' self and also being passivem, but still retaining your own identity. i'd look at Jack Abbott and Jacobo Timmerman as polar opposites, yet tie it back to how they're both emotionally connected to ones' self and state how they're similiar that way -- but also point out how different their coping mechanisms were...
plus, this one guy we talked to there, Chance or sumfin', was one of hte more agressive types and he admited to it, explaing that he was a rebel and that he did loose himself, way back when he was thirteen (being fourty one now). and he did this good analogy -- some guy told him that there were two dogs in his body -- a good dog and a bad dog. he asked which dog was stronger and the man replied "whichever one you feed more". I thought this was interesting... and so very true. Chance, being honest, expressed to us how sorry he was but regretted nothing except still being in the institituon. he wishes he wasn't, but he knew it was totally called for. is he loosing himself? he certainly tries to fill thsi character... but is it him?
i think it'd all be interesting, but it's certainly a ton to work with...
Meh...
you have the entire plight of humanity on your hands there, Jenny. and it is amazing, and something certainly worth writing a paper about, but you might want to pare it down a bit towards one particular topic. because that is an awful lot to cover otherwise.
but good luck, and if you need someone to edit it for you, or if you wouldn't mind letting me read it, i would love to do either or both.
oh yes. i'll let you know! i love this new school i'm in. i'm finally excited for long term papers!
i wrote one last month about the institution of school... i went back to visit my old elemetary school o tkae notes and observe the teaching mechanisms teachers have, and to link it with a memory from when i was part of hte enviornment. i wasn't totally happy with it just beacuse it was so blunt at times and not my best writing, but it just went so well! 8)

Two wolves An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going
on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is
between two wolves. One is evil -- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false
pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good -- he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you -- and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his
grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied,
"The one you feed."

- Helping print and rack over 400 prints with wet ink and only messing up a couple of times. Being told I did a great job afterwards. Woah, I've never heard that before.
- Having the boss say he'd like me to start doing some artwork on the positives next week!
- Being able to SMILE at work because I'm enjoying myself and what I'm accomplishing.
- Having a good sandwich at work, and somehow falling asleep on the couch while the boss is out running errands! I didn't have any work to do at the time.
- Going to night class despite the fact that I'm tired as hell, and seeing the teacher isn't there!
- Realizing I'm only a few days away from seeing MMJ... Woah.
- Having a dream that My Morning Jacket covers Metallica's "The Call of Ktulu"... Woah!!!!
- Knowing my current art project looks AWFUL, but somehow being optimistic that I can fix it up.

Careful there buddy, I may have to start calling you HappyEwok. ;)
Happy Ewok? Oh noesss... It's so weird being happy, though. I really miss the comfort in being miserable, it's something I'd gotten used to and almost found easier to through than to try and change, for the longest time (if that makes any sense at all). I really hope and pray that this isn't a temporary thing for me...
This weekend is going to be awesome. I've been very shy in meeting people from the forums, in the past... first really meeting anyone at the Rites of Spring, so this time around I'm really excited to get to know some of you alot better and HOPEFULLY we can even get some group photos.

The quality of my life has just approved exponentially.
My boss took my suggestion, and we're getting a new server! Long story short: this one works on Linux, and it owns.
This new server will allow me to control the radio stations' main computers and satellites from ANYWHERE. This means that, if something fucks up at 2am, I don't have to go down to the station and fix it. I can do it at home!
I can voicetrack at home, too. And the customer support is sooo much better. If I can't fix something, I just call them, they log into our system--and problem solved! No more waiting six goddamn hours for someone to call me back!
I am ELATED about this. Not only does it make my life eight thousand times easier, it means that my boss actually considers my ideas to be vaild and worthwhile.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D--Seriously.

i actually finished my paper, this time. ACTUALLY :D
it's DONE. i loved it so so so much.
i realized tha'ts wha ti want to get into when i'm older... i mean, not prisons. i certainly don't want to get into prisons. but through this paper, i realized that certain things impacted me so much... psychology, human behavior, people, thinking, brains! that's what i dig, right now, and tha'ts what i hope i dig later. but how does one progress in that? idon't want a phd. i want to do it 'cos i wanna study it!
i'm so relieved. i'm so free (no pun intended? makes sense to me 'cos i know what the papers on i guess.) i'm gonna go read. :-*

Is that a new flavour? Can't get B&J here in Japan.
Pretty sure I'll have myself a few of those bad-boys in Hawaii.
That's my current joy, looking forward to Hawaii - 3 WEEKS YESTERDAY!!!
I don't know how new it is but its good. Its got chocolate covered pretzels filled with peanut butter. Its got ripples of chocolate and peanut butter in vanilla ice cream. I don't like real chocately ice cream and its got just the right amount. Its quality stuff.
Tha flavor has been around for a few years. Maybe they could pack some on dry ice and ship to Japan for ya db.
Haha, that would be cool. We did have B&J in Japan but they went bankrupt. Hagen Das (sic?) has the market cornered here.
I didn't see that flavour when I was in Hawaii or Memphis & Nashville last year (my friends laugh at me because I look forward to eating ice-cream when I go to the states!)
I'll look more carefully in HAWAII...IN THREE WEEKS!!! ;D
yeah, yeah rub it in ;)

sleeping in a bed
why? were sleeping somewhere not a bed prior to this day?

Tuesdays are always good days..
HIstory and Chemistry aren't in my schedule on Tuesdays, ever. Plus the day ends twenty minutes early (2:15 opposed to 2:35)
I had an english presentatino about my social class, I had to speak for ten minutes about how I felt about it, and definately did better than I thought I would.
My friend Andrew went away for the semester to London, and he's returned yesterday! He called me today while I was walking to work, and it was just wonddddddderful hearing his voice!
I went to work, which wasn't that bad, relatively speaking...
I walked home, with my iPod which I remembered I had... and it wasn't too bad, even though it is a twenty five mintue walk... at least it wasn't cold.
I came home and nobody but my brother was home, and we watched television for awhile...
then he left for my dad's and I made myself dinner, and stole one of those freshly baked brownies...
And I've completed all my work! and squared things off with my conductor...
And now nobody's home, so I can enjoy the silence and Devendra for awhile on my own.

I love it.
Getting a large box of quality (LL Bean) type of stuff ready to donate to a local homeless shelter. :)
My current joys are pretty awesome and numerous.
One would have to be that I have Sundays off... I've been working longer hours than my parents, Monday through Saturday, usually 8 a.m. to 6 or 7 p.m., so I am totally worn out on Sundays. Good hours - that rocks.
Yesterday, we finally finished up the first batch of serigraph prints celebrating Texas beating USC at the 2006 Rose Bowl... the lithographs have been selling really, really well - and we're pretty sure we won't have any problem selling the serigraphs. I'll be getting a four-of-a-kind uber-rare Printer's Edition of the serigraph... I'm estimating the value of that to be about $1,300.
It's always good to see your work help, if even in a minor way, fuel some success for the people you work for - if you like them, at least. I really like my bosses... and it looks like business is really doing well this Christmas. I'm hoping that I can sort of help out with their advertising, on top of all the other stuff I do.
Bringing me to my third (?) joy in one post - my dad finally caved in and has agreed to allow me to apprentice under him as a glassblower. He's been pressured into it, both by my boss, my mom, and his colleagues... but hey, finally! I may actually be a half decent glassblower, after some training with my dad. He's one of the best in the country, the only problem is that he and I don't get along in the least bit. We'll see what happens with that.

Lots of good food and drink, sweet people and a ceremonial burn in which each of us wrote one thing we wanted to get rid of in our lives and one thing we wanted to bring in, and then all of the intentions were set ablaze. The feeling of the whole event made be feel really blessed to be part of it.

Can I ask you something? Is it usual in the US for people to know the sex of their baby before it's born? I've often (well a few times anyway) heard American friends talk about the baby boy or girl they are expecting.
It would be very unusual here (the UK). Even if you have tests that incidentally disclose the sex they wouldn't normally tell you.
Just wondering.

Just wondering.
This is my sister's fourth child, and she's known the sex of each one after about five months of being pregnant. Her doctors have always told her. She's had special appointments just to determine the child's sex. I guess that's the "normal" thing here in the states.
but they won't spill the beans on you if you don't want em to. you can ask them to not let you know. i wouldthink most doctors would ask, but i'm sure no one would just go ahead and disclose it. well, pretty sure. i haven't had kids yet (or i don't have a wife who has had kids yet), so i'm probably no expert.
They definately ask you before they tell you. After three kids I can already tell if it's a boy or a girl by looking at the ultrasound. People who don't think you should find out, are very opinionated about it I've learned.
I just got my car back! :) :) :)
i've kept this secret for a few weeks now, but the third addition to our family will be arriving the first part of august. everyone has been saying something about twins straight away when we say something, so i'm not sure what that means...

Those are fantastic. Did you get those from a website murph?
Hey Dave. Their is a link to Ms. Lolley's site in the links section.
Yeah, she's ace. Thru the years now (4) MMJ just keeps introducing me to amazing musicians (M. Ward, Wax Fang, Andrew Bird) and artists.
I enjoy her work as well. I checked out her website a while ago and ended up following links to two other artists Saelee Oh and Souther Salazar. I fell in love with their work...dreamy and youthful.
thinking is my current joy.
but it's making my brain hurt.
but i was just wondering. i don't know how to put this. but i realized that i don't fit into a social class exactly. because of my moral views and my ethics and my beliefs towards all the stereotypes. now this is just generally speaking. but i live in a wealthy part of boston, in a three story house, with a step-father doctor and a "stay at home mom whose never home". and i live comfortably, almost luxiourously. yet. on the other side, i live with my dad, in a COMFORTABLE HOME. a small, homey home in the suburbs of boston, oustide of the city with no backyard or anything. i'm not a snob. but i'm wealthy for sure. my dad owns a huge PR company all over the states, yet, with his background (growing up in a "slum" as he calls it, with four brothers and sisters all in one room) he can't admit that he's in the "upper class". he treats himself as a member of the lower class. with those views. the resereved views. the sort of thing where he'll onyl buy one box of cereal at a time. and my mom grew up in san diego, and it seems her life was a constant party. living on the beach. california. wealthy parents, whatever. i feel like her views are skewed - i dont' like them. she buys FOUR boxes of cereal everytiem she goes to the supermarket. these are little analogies. id on't mind the excess cereal, it just never gets eaten.
so now that they're divorced, and have been for years and years, i don't even know what to call myself. I'd say middle class, but that's meaningless now, because it gets thrown around so loosely... but with the condescending views of both parents, and my brothers and i in the middle of it, i don't know where i'm supposed to be placed. and it's not really that big of concern since i'm comfortable
honestly, i prefer the veiws of my dad. the lower-class life style, if you will. i'm not uncomortable with my mom's socio-economic class. but that could ALL BE PRESSED UPON ME BECAUSE I RESPECT MY DAD MORE! IT coudl be because every morning when my siblings and i were kids, he'd buy us donuts while my mom would snooze upstairs and have us make our own froot loops! it coudl be as simple as that. he could've played favorite. and knew this was goign to be the outcome of whatever scheeme he has. but i don't know. i just don't have any idea.
the question i'm really thinking about is how big a relationships between parents or guardians or seniors or WHATEVEr and children haev that big of an impact on children and where they're placed. yet it could be the matter of divorce. adn it could be an individual concern that none of you can even answer. and it could be that my case is super fucked up and my parents didn't give me enough love as a child.heh. kidding.
but honestly, i don't know. and i doni't knwo what i'm even asking or ranting ABOUT. i just like to think about it. becasue i dotn know how much of me is going to be me or how much of me is goign to be my parents. i don't wnat to end up like either of my parents. not because i'm a "rebellious teen". i can be a "rebellious teen" if i want to. this is different. and i'm not just a confused 15 year old girl. and i'm not a snob. and i'm not an egotistical cunt. really, i'm not. i'm just curious. and thinking,. and i hope this didnt' offend anybody becasue that's the last thing i was trying to do.
i knwo i'll figure it out when i grow up. but i don't want to WAIT to grow up, and see how i am. sometiems i wish i could live more than one life. even if i'm happy with the one i've got. sometimes i do. because then i could see progress. and change. and potential.
right now, i just don't know.
but i like it.

Wishing really hard always helped me hear the reindeer's bells on Christmas Eve, so it should work for snow! Thanks. :) It was 72 degrees here in New York State today, and it'd be nice to be able to make some snow angels and ski at least once this "winter."
i feel glad and excited about the following:
-i get to sleep in my own bed tonight
-i get to play with a fun band this evening
-i get to go to a place i love in less than 2 weeks
-just got to spend a week with one of my best friends
-my other best friend arrives on thursday
-i think i've finally shaken this brutal cold
supah!

so... i should probably study.

Yes, and the last 2 days have been great! With extended vacations if I am not traveling then I get bored and need something to occupy myself. In other words; I need to get a frickin' hobby!
I went to my college today on my lunchbreak, to register for more classes and also to file a dispute about a grade. As I'm standing in line, a girl walks up to me and looks at me very directly - I swear I recognize her, and there's got to be some reason for her to approach me like that - so in my usual lamely goofy swagger, I say, "Hey. Do I recognize you?" To which she replies, "I don't know, do you?"
"I'm not sure."
So we talk for a while, and come to find out, she knew me and remembered me, but I didn't immediately remember her. What a shock. That's always a feel good feeling for me, that someone would actually remember me. It's also kind of embarrassing that I can't remember anyone. It's a foreign idea, the thought that I impacted someone so much so that they could remember me X years later. But she reminded me that she dated a friend of mine, and we had all hung out a handful of times several years ago – and at some point I gave her a birthday card with money in it. "Wow," I say, "Apparently, I'm a pretty nice guy!"
I guess for those of you who don't already "get it" – I have a notoriously bad memory. While she remembered where I was working 3 years ago, I couldn't even remember her name until she reminded me.
She asked for my number. As we're talking in line, someone taps me on the back. Who is it? A guy that knew me in highschool. He remembered me and my name, and surprisingly enough, I knew his full name, too. Woah!
Then I take a seat with the counselor and decide that I'm going to go ahead and officially write an appeal against the F grade that was given to me in Drawing I class last semester. I deserve better than an F and I'm confident my portfolio will speak for itself. So, I go up to the Faculty in order to schedule an appointment with the Dean of Arts (or whatever the title is). There were two teachers, and I couldn't remember either of their names.
Low and behold, a girl walks past me that I swear I recognize. I say "Hello" and continue on. A few minutes later, she comes back down the hallway to ask if I was coming to see the same person she had just been looking for (who had the day off). This girl ended up being from that exact same class last semester, that I sat beside on occasion. Apparently, she is disputing her grade, also. We exchange info so that we can make an appeal as a group.
On my way out the door, another person recognizes me, and remembers my name from high school and says hello. All a sudden I'm getting this weird idea that I may be classified as a "popular guy" if I hang around too much longer.
What I'm getting at is this – could my bad memory be in some way connected to the way I see myself? Is it because I don't think my presence has any impact on anyone, that I'm able to so easily forget other people? There has to be some sort of connection here, because the only two people whose names I did remember, I remembered because they put me down back when I was a kid.
Current joys :
My appeal will probably be succesful. We're not just talking about dropping a bad grade - this is a full blown reversal from an F to an A, I hope.
Apparently, I'm a nice guy. Thankfully, some folks have remembered that.

I now direct you to the Current Complaints thread.
I myself have been getting out of writer's block. What I wanted to be a short story is turning into something much larger. Must be due to graduating with a BA in English, which I got from Penn St, diploma came today, so that is my current joy.

How do you tell a girl that you met just a few weeks ago that you've never had feelings so strong for anyone before? Especially when she's leaving on February 1st. Oh my, I've got one more weekend left with this girl before she goes overseas. Tomorrow it's drinks & dancing, Saturday it's coffee, etc..
The thing is I've NEVER made a pass on a girl before, but she's really something special and something strange came over me.

normally, i'm not all about stuff, but... my current joy is the nintendo wii. i have played wii all weekend. well, when i haven't been here at work.

Last night I ran into a girl who I haven't seen in about 4 months. Now she's back in town and I got a mix-tape to make. We're going music shopping together on Friday, should be great. ;D

seeing pan's labyrinth (for a second time!) tonight! :)
It got great reviews. How good was it actually?
I'm thrilled. I mean. Sort of.
I discovered my problem. I have dyscalculia. It's like math dyslexia.
my cousin showed me this... these're the symptoms, and it's exaclty my math difficulties:
Frequent difficulties with arithmetic, confusing the signs: +, -, ÷ and x.
Inability to tell which of two numbers is the larger.
Reliance on 'counting-on' strategies, e.g. using fingers, rather than any more efficient mental arithmetic strategies.
Difficulty with everyday tasks like checking change and reading analog clocks.
Inability to comprehend financial planning or budgeting, sometimes even at a basic level; for example, estimating the cost of the items in a shopping basket or balancing a checkbook.
Difficulty with times-tables, mental arithmetic, etc.
Does better in subjects such as science and geometry, which require logic rather than formulas, until a higher level requiring calculations is needed.
Difficulty with conceptualizing time and judging the passing of time.
Problems differentiating between left and right.
Having a poor sense of direction (i.e. north, south, east, and west) and may also have trouble still even with a compass.
Difficulty navigating or mentally "turning" the map to face the current direction rather than the common North=Top usage.
Having difficulty mentally estimating the measurement of an object or distance (e.g., whether something is 10 or 20 feet away).
Inability to grasp and remember mathematical concepts, rules, formulae, and sequences.
Difficulty keeping score during games.
Difficulty with games such as poker with more flexible rules for scoring.
Difficulty in activities requiring sequential processing, from the physical (such as dance steps) to the abstract (reading, writing and signaling things in the right order). May have trouble even with a calculator due to difficulties in the process of feeding in variables.
The condition may lead in extreme cases to a phobia of mathematics and mathematical devices.
in any case, it gives me a convincing argument to talk to my teacher about. and maybe then she'll be more sympathetic.
anyway. i got my report card. and i went UP in everything (except english, which i remained consistant in). I went from a B- to an A in history... word. :D
I am going to Langerado!! :) Will be in Florida anyway with my mom to try to convince her to move there to be closer to family. It hadn't occurred to me that I could go while there, but now it has. Very excited to get a live MMJ fix and also get out of the cold. It's 5 degrees and 20 inches of snow at the moment and my face is so dry it hurts to smile. See some of you there perhaps- will check other thread to see who's going.
Enjoying a well deserved three day weekend! :)

So, he never saw it. :-[ 8-)

db, I hate you. We've had four inches of snow already tonight. On the good side, maybe my car won't make it to work tomorrow.
i'm anticipating some wildflowers popping up next week. bring on the snow trilliums, bloodroots, hepatica, and spring beauties.
Haha, sorry Red!
We didn't have much of a winter here. It's getting warmer everyday & some of the plum blossom (which precedes the cherry blossom here) trees are blooming already.
Stay safe in the snow :)
See how funny life is? Today it was snowing but not enough to keep it on the ground - I love how it falls on the dog's coat and stays there. I guess I lived too long in LA where it was (almost) always a balmy 75-80. I gotta say, except for the beaches, I don't really miss LA that much at all = GIVE ME MORE SEASONS!!! And I don't really miss palm trees either, much prefer cherry blossoms and daffodils. (Oh, but the margarita's and mexican food are another story!).
QuoteGIVE ME MORE SEASONS!!!
I know what you mean. I don't miss England's weather or lack of distinct seasons.
The UK is famous for it's crappy weather & it's def true - grey sky, cold & wet, grey sky, rain, little bit of blue sky, hot, grey sky, rain, grey sky, cold etc
The seasons are really beautiful here in Japan, they're one of my fav things about this strange little country.
What's the weather in the UK like around September? It's looking like I'll be heading that way around then.

It was still quite warm when i there late Sept last year but it can be pretty cold. I went to see the Jacket on the 22nd in just a T-shirt.
Vacation?
Ya, it's strange - the first time I spent any time in England was for a couple of weeks in Brighton in a distant January and I thought it was crazy cold. That was when I understood why people in the UK have the rep for not showering as much as they might, and drinking so much at the pub - because it's FUCKING COLD outside! I've since learned about layering. And drinking seasonally. Aaah, whiskey, you are a good friend.

Oh, I like the sounds of that.
I'm planning on doing a 'working vacation'. There's this wonderful program here in Canada called SWAP which will arrange for travel, help you settle in when you arrive, and supply you with job and accommodation resources. It's pretty much definite that this is what I'm going to do.
I've always wanted to go there and this way I can stay longer (at least 3 months) and not have to save up an obscene amount of money.
Sounds great! Any idea where in the UK you'll stay?
QuoteSounds great! Any idea where in the UK you'll stay?
Well you arrive in London and then thats where the orientation is. I'd like to spend a while there, and go from there. Any recommendations? I'm also looking to head to Wales as I've got a few relatives there.

I've been away from the UK for more than 8 years now & I didn't travel much when I lived there so I'm reluctant to make any recommendations.
London is obviously lots of fun but it is very expensive. The Lake District is very beautiful as is The New Forest. Oxford is a nice city, so are Bath & Winchester. I love English coastal towns/cities - Bournemouth & Brighton are both nice. Dorsert has some lovely countryside, Devon & Cornwall too. I don't know much about the North of England. Wales has some beautiful countryside, don't know about it's cities. I would definitely try to get up to Scotland too, the geography is very different & Edinburgh is a lovely city.
Finally getting an internet DVD rental/delivery company here in Japan! :)
I'm definitely planning on Edinburgh as well. We shall see what else happens.

then we're going to Kansas City to see the Twins play the Royals.(hopefully more than one game) but when you're in KC you have to go to a bbq place. last time we went to Arthur Bryant's when we went to the Chiefs game, but this time i'm not sure where we're going. suggestion?
Arthur Bryant's is the one everybody always brings up.
Gate's is also very good.

As a general rule, stay away from the chains. The crappier the place looks, and the ruder the employees, the better the bar b q.

db it's been about a half hour now, and i'm dying, but i can't stop!! what is in these little tricksters? lemme check:
oh i see.
green peas
flour
sugar (wtf??)
starch (again, wtf??)
vegetable oil
lactose
msg (fuck. fuck fuck fuck. that's it. fuck.)
wasabi powder (only first in the title, 8th in the ingredients list)
salt
sodium bicarbonate
ammonium bicarbonate
colouring (yellow 5, blue 1)
all right, let's analyze:
peas are starchy. then we get flour, which is also starchy, as well as addictive. next is sugar = addictive. vegetable oil - yarp. lactose - why oh why would they need lactose? msg. well that is the worst of them all, and explains the non-stop-ed-ness. and then all the salt and sodium ingredients.
these equal death.
BUT I CAN'T STOP.

(getting my total on 18 and a half days :-/ )
For me since it is (FINALLY) starting to warm up in St Louis, I can go running outside. I love just getting out and hitting the pavement. I also feel a whole hell of a lot less guilty because I am getting fresh, warm Banana Bread with peanut butter.

That's Feist on the left and Emily Haines on the right (who's from Metric, they suck, but she's really great with Broken Social Scene).
I thought I was going to get kicked out of the Feist concert because I couldn't take my eyes off her. Great times. She was dressed in all white. Yeah, great night.
i'm going to get a newer car!! now i can actually listen to a cd!!
i've been wearing headphones while driving for a month now. :-[ which is pretty white trashy and illegal. but the only radio station that would come in was country. that only lasted a month, which took a lot for me.

Actually that's an urban myth. The guy who wrote the report that the myth is based on said so himself. There is no research to support that, but yet people still believe. that's the power of bullshit, folks.
aMD,. it's not all bullshit, believe it or not...
they did mri scans when people listen to mozart, james brown and eminem -- when you listen to eminem, your brain power for "words" is sparked higher... when you listen to james brown, you get a lot of visual and melody "brain power"... and hwen you listen to mozart, the majority of your brain power is being used, thus makng you open to more ideas...
i dont' know if that makes much sense... I'm incredibly inarticulate right now... but I'd just like ta say that it's not 100% BS. maybe just 90%...
it depends on yr definiation of "smarter", i guess.
anyway,
whatever.

Depends. What kind of "words" do you mean? I seriously doubt listening to Eminem makes you any smarter.
no, your awareness.
you're listening for words
you're thinking about the words
you're not listening for melody
or depth
or anything.
just what he's saying.
I can only hope they're not thinking about the words! ;)

ok check this out...
so my roommate is in flordia playing baseball for college. before he took off there was snow on the ground. and he parked his car. nothing wrong with that, right? but he didn't parked it in his assigned spot, cause he wanted to be near the door cause he had to load and unload shit. (most people don't park in their assigned spot) so it got warm and the snow melted, and i noticed it was parked in a handicap spot. there isn't any sign, just painted on the pavement. i found his spare keys, and moved his car to the place i work at. so when he comes home, he's going to freak. i'm going to sit and watch him call every towing place in town. while telling him how much he has to pay for all this.
parking ticket 300
towing fee 75
daily fee for impound
at 30 bucks a day 180
insurance rates go up ???
and he owes me 115 and i'm going to be a huge dick and tell him he has to pay me right now.
this should be good.

So, I have had three job interviews this week already - 2 second interviews next week, one offer, and another interview tomorrow! I am so glad I am getting out of this dead end bull crap!
I honestly want to take a job at a coffee shop and just have some fun. The last 10 years, I have always worked 40+ hours at "professional" jobs. And for what? money? no. feeling good? no. Because I felt like I should. I think I finally got over trying to make other people happy by having a job that pays decent or uses my degree. What if I don't want to do that? What if I just want to hang out and get by for a while and not be so freaking stressed out all the time? I think this may be the beginning of the best summer yet!
Beth- I'm envious of you. Wish I could just walk off this motha some days and never look back.
My current joy. Large pan of Strawberry/Peach/Rhubarb Cobbler waiting for me when I came home. Again, people question/wonder why I run and work out so much. It's not to feel better and to look great. It's so I can eat this schtuff on a regular basis ::)

life is not worth living if you are miserable in anything, especially a job. you spend a majority of your time at your job.
i used to work in insurance and i hated it. i left and now i have a great job working for big brothers big sisters. i love it. day to day drama sometimes, but my job is quite fulfilling.

just a little fallow up on this, he came home. i wish you all could have seen him. he called every tow place, and he was just about to call the cops and report it stolen. until i told what happened, first words were "you mother fuckers". it was funny as hell....priceless
;D I like wicked.
THAT was funny.
So I've been feeling kind of old lately. Especially since I've been called ma'am almost every time I go to a store or restaurant. Ma'am to me sounds like old hag. Anyway I went to a club last night and the guy at the door didn't believe I was over 21. He kept looking at my I.D. and bending it back and forth. That made my day.
i cleaned my house, and it looks great.
i cooked dinner, and it was delicious.
thursday is now only three days away. :D

Yeah, I hate being called ma'am, although depending on where you are it's used out of respect rather than referring to age. I had a really long stretch where it seemed everyone was calling me ma'am finally broken by a grocery store clerk who called me miss. I nearly grabbed him and kissed him. In Italy, when you look like you're no longer in the signorina category (miss), you are called signora, which is the word for a married woman. It makes no difference whether or not you are actually married and it's an indirect way of making you feel like soon-to-be spinster. That makes me angrier than ma'am.

i watched mr. show for the first time in a month.
i found a dollar in my other purse.
it is also storming all up in the 42141, which makes it easier for me to go to sleep.
I found a great copy of the Who's Who's Next for a buck and I also found a copy of Okonokos including Acoustic Chorale for a little over $20 with shipping. So if anyone would like a copy of Okonokos for nothing get at me, I'm looking to spread some good karma. I already have and have gifted it to all my friends that would be at all interested in it.
i feel better now so i'm going to bed :D

You make a great case for it, John (or should I call you Vince)! Although I love San Francisco, it's way too expensive for me at this point. I loved Louisville when I stopped there on the way to Bonnaroo. It seemed like there was a lot of visual art energy happening there. That new hotel was amazing. Can't remember the name but it had both a permanent and rotating contemporary visual art collection. I knew quite a few of the artists in the then current exhibition and there was some pretty edgy stuff there. Not what you think of when you imagine hotel "art." It's good to know the cost of living is low, too, as my dream is really to open a collaborative printmaking studio/teaching space. I wouldn't want to seem like an MMJ stalker moving there, though!

St Louis area is a good choice regardless of what some misleading report on crime says. Great Baseball, there is a football and hocky team here too. TONS of great eating and drinking establishments. St Louis is a huge melting pot of various cusine types. Usually the good acts tour through here. Forest Park!! Cost of living in the midwest is better the left/right coast. Several very large school districts in the area (just do not try StL Public Schools as it's under state take over). Decent train/subway system. Lots of areas with lots of old house some in need of repair others already done. The Arch. We are only 5ish hours from Chicago or Memphis.

I am joyful about gearing up for my summer garden. This is the first summer I will have been home for the whole 3 months since 1999, so I am eager to dig in the dirt. Got the veggie seeds, indoor seeding supplies, been reading about new growing strategies, etc. Very excited to get my seedlings growing so they will be robust and ready to go outside as soon as the ground is ready.

Did loads of this over the weekend. Arms, neck, face burnt to hell. I feel like I went 10 rounds with Clubber Lang, and I have absolutley no energy right now. I WOULD HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY. Man I love spring/summer. Gardening, landscaping, enjoying the fresh air and the sun. Started about 100 chilis in pods last week and almost all have already sprouted. Starting the tomotoes soon. Flowers and bushes planted.
just watched okonokos.... again. something about watching them, always makes me feel good, and makes me want to see them soon.
I started to post this in the complaints thread, but in the end it's a joy so...
I had to call to make an appointment to euthanize my dog. Great dog. Had him since I was 18, I'm now pushing 40 (well I got a few years to go). Been crying in my office since the call and finallyhave gottenmyself together, but sad none-the-less.
Then Magheeta comes on - instant smile that song. It is joyous and Max (my dog) would love it. He has always shared my taste in music, ;)
So, amidst sorrow there is joy and that joy is Magheeta (and the Jacket). I wonder which of my office neighbors will be the first to complain about hearing it from now until I leave for the day? :)

I feel for you more than you know...I had to put down my lab that I got back when I was in college recently, and it was by far the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. He was by far the best friend I've ever had. And he was my heart.
But you are right, Max is enjoying the Jacket as you should be, and you are doing it together. Music is the medicine for a broken heart and bruised soul. And there is no better music than that wonderful music set to the beauty that is Jim James voice.
Just know the pain will slowly go away but the memories never will. You AND Max are lucky for having each other and the time you were able to spend together. For these times will never leave your mind.
Keep smiling and keep groovin' because after all, thats what Max is doin'!!

QuoteSpring Break in 3 days!!!
4 days for me, but still this break is gonna be sweet
I usually complain a lot about having to get up real early for my job, but not today. I work at a golf course, so on the weekends im there round 7 before the sun starts to come out. Also, im outside pretty much the whole time, and when there arent to many people around, I keep my ipod in. When I started to work around l flipped through and came upon "At Dawn", and figured it be good to listen too in the morning. Just as Jim starts singing "At Dawn", the sun came up from behind the tress and shone all around. It was great, and the album never sounded so good. Actually listen to "At Dawn" at dawn, and you'll know what im talking about. :)

my buddy (who i turned on to MMJ) got his car broken into. and one of his cds got stolen, the first disc of okonokos was one of them. which sucks, for sure! BUT he has a four year old kid, who's favorite song and only wants to hear is "off the record". and she can't hear it. (i'm going to burn him the disc tomorrow though)

A few months ago, as her end of a bargain, I got my little sister to listen to Z the whole way thru. She loved it, said it was one of the first albums she could listen to all the songs. She also likes Okonokos. Cool sister. 8-)

its kind of spending ($180-250) to own one. makes all "tobacco" taste the same. (to me) so if you have some premo shit i prefer a glass. also it sucks if youre smoking with two or buddies, because its not something you just pass around. but it gets you fucked up though, and its really nice if you're smoking by yourself or with one other person.
this is the one i have: the hot box its worth it

I finally think I have turned the corner on learning guitar. I learned to play 2 White Stripe songs yesterday (Let's Build a Home and Aluminum). Granted, both songs are very easy. But hey, I have no music ability and feel great about learning 2 rocking songs. Baby steps.....

Wow, we got absolutely killed. It was embarrassing. We owned the 70's, 90's and modern categories, but got our asses handed to us in the 80's and country categories. We had a chance at the end when we could wager all our points, sure enough it was from the 80's and we were hopeless. Seriously, Krokus? >:(

God, that's tough.
I needed to look that one up and had a good laugh at the allmusic site.
"A typical mid-'80s Euro-metal band from Switzerland, Krokus formed back in the '70s as a symphonic rock outfit modeled on the likes of Yes and ELP, switching to metal when the band's former direction proved unprofitable. The hard rock lineup included Maltese-born vocalist Marc Storace, guitarists Fernando Von Arb and Tommy Kiefer, bassist Chris Von Rohr (originally the lead vocalist), and drummer Freddy Steady."
Ouch :-/
i like krokus, at least a good bit of their stuff.

They may be good and all, but our entire team was scratching our heads at who the hell they are. Sure enough, the next team gets the Who. Figures.
I always want to trash out the 80's for having nothing but crap when it came to music, but that's unfair... Here's a look at some of the awesomeness pouring from my iPod in the 80's category.
1980 - AC/DC's Back In Black
1981 - John Williams' Raiders Of The Lost Ark
1982 - Vangelis' Blade Runner
1983 - Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind
1984 - Metallica's Ride The Lightning
1985 - Duran Duran's View To A Kill
1986 - Kenny Loggin's contribution to Top Gun
1987 - Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction
1988 - Traveling Wilburys
1989 - N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton

English Beat is always a good time (you go Dave!)
Fun Boy Three; Terry Hall?
The 80's were no less weak than any other decade!
Let me flip that Paul Anka record over....
The bands being listed is not swaying my opinion. Some of them I moderately like. For example: Prince, he has his moments but deffinately don't consider myself a fan.

the best 80s bands were:
REM
Replacements
Husker Du
Minutemen - Firehose
Butthole Surfers.
Since I was actually around way back then, I can state that my 80's musical joys were lead by:
1) Hoodoo Gurus
2) U2
3) Ramones
4) Pretenders
5) The Undertones
6)The Long Ryders
7) Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Most of these peaked before 1985. In fact, if there is a pop music black hole that sucked up most anything decent it was probably circa 1986-1989. There is a ton of music from before and after that time that I love, but man, even some genuinely talented people seemed to get lost around the late 80's. At least, until I research that notion further.
These are still current joys as well. The good stuff holds up. Even guilty pleasures like Fine Young Cannibals.
Edit: Oops, I knew in my haste I'd omit some big un's. I was seriously a Clash junkie in the early eighties.
Quote1) Hoodoo Gurus
Holy Shit, that is a name I have not heard in years. That was one of my brothers favorites in college. I took a roadtrip to Louisville with him a few years ago and he was rockin Mars Needs Guitars! like it was 1985

What's a Friendship Bracelet, and does it's falling off of your hand truly mark the end of a friendship? What happens if you gain weight, and it won't fit anymore? What material is the bracelet made of? Maybe one of stronger material would insure a longer lasting relationship?

Thanks for the bday wishes everybody! Nothing too crazy this year. Saving all that energy for the OBH fiesta.
Finding great music from my past on Napster--
recent picks:
The Kings: This Beat Goes On/Switchin To Glide
Donnie Iris: Love is like a rock
Dave Mason Only You Know and I Know, Let it go-let it flow, We just disagree
Elvin Bishop Foole around and fell in love
Foghat: Live
Savoy Brown: Hell Bound Train
Marshall Tucker: Fire on the mountain, Searching for a rainbow, Take the highway
Rare Earth: Get ready
Saga: On the loose
Uriah Heep: Stealin'
Good times man--The Kings really take me back to living in New Hampshire and listening to this great radio station WCDQ wher you could all the great stuff "mainstream" stations ignored over their blessed playlists--I remember being blown away one afternoon when they played "I don't believe you (She acts like we never have met)" from The Last Waltz! Anyway, the lead in to the weekend at 5 p.m. on Fridays was The Kings "Switchin to Glide"--I REALLY miss that station.
i have some seriously kickass friends.
they bring me so much joy.
The first time my wife felt our son move was at the Tabernacle show. She said he eith really love it or really hated it. I think we all know the answer to that 8-) Anyway, he was finally born April 2. 9lbs 5 ozs :o

I've got a new job! It's lecturing in Science at a local college. One of the courses I'll be teaching is Forensic Science. It must have been my encyclopaedic knowledge of CSI (Vegas & Miami, had to bluff NY a bit) that swayed the panel ;).

Then, I get home from work early and find a Gatorade and cold tuscan pizza in my fridge!

Oh, and I've got a date tonight. :o
I saw John Prine last night and it was phenomenal - I had never seen him; his LITTLE brother played a number with him and the crowd loved him! Very cool.
The opener was a girl named Mandy Smith and she has a lovely lovely voice, though not much stage presence although she looked to be about 16 years old so I'm sure she'll get her groove on eventually.

dude, my booted copy of the album is missing tracks 3-4 and Fling is thoroughly screwed, so i just bought it through amazon. i'm pretty happy about this decision. i can't remember, but i might've also bought you in reverse, as well. conventional wisdom rocks.
I'm happy so I feel like sharing this with you all, I just got a small part in an indie film, shooting for the next few weekends in Mass. One of the actors pulled out and my friend who is in it refered me to the director. I hope I don't fuck this up. hahahaha
Leave in a few hours. Detailz about it laters... :D

Great news TK!!! Can you please sign that CD for me before you send it so that I can sell it on ebay when you're famous ;)
What movie were you in aMD?

I just got home from a great evening out with friends/wonderful girl. We went bowling, then to my bosses birthday party, then for a few drinks. I took the great girl home and we watched an episode of The Office and now here I am.
Best part, we're doing something again tomorrow. ;D
I just recieved both volumes of the early recordings in the mail. 8-)
Thanks friends! It is a horror movie. The director is obsessed with The Exorcist apparently. Shot my first of 5 scenes yesterday, I had to take a walk when they played back the footage of the day. When I got back the director and dp said I did a great job. :D I'll pm all interested when the trailer is ready. hi 5
get it, murph!
when you get famous, can you arrange for me to meet the coen brothers?
my current joy: (sun plus windows down plus up on cripple creek) plus payday tomorrow times brad is here thursday equals happy meg

My landlord is finally kicking my meth-head neighbors out of the building I live in. They literally partied 6-7 nights a week for the past 5 months, with the loudest subwoofer I've ever heard playing entirely shit music. My whole apartment would vibrate from like 9pm to 7am every night. I didn't sleep the whole month of April-some nights not even a wink. Not to mention all of the cretins they brought into the building who would scream and yell throughout the halls and often barf all over the place. It was very Jerry Springer show-esque. I am so relieved!!!!!!! And, I am going to move into their space (bigger and better than mine) after I burn some sage and do some other space cleansing rituals.
this is so weird!
I do not see how you took it Colleen, I would have probably done something violent! ;) Glad they are gone and may you lead a more peaceful life. :)
i am eating derby pie right now.
damn. it is goooood.
and if that's not enough, well, i leave work in 2 hours to go pick up brad in nashville.
awesome weekend--begins now.
I just got a job offer and I have another 2 interviews next week! Looks like I may be able to do some fun stuff this summer after all!!!!!
Plus, it is beautiful outside and tonight is the Kickball cook out!!!! Ya! I am going to be kicking balls and drinking PBR shortly!

Friday night = Bowling night. Two lanes, 7 people, multiple beers, lots of debauchery (sp?). Plus I've got a date (again!), so it should be great.

Yesterday we did the mini-golf/coffee thing too. I think there's been one day in the past 10 that we haven't done something together. It's a shame she's moving 2000 miles away in less than a month, but I'm trying not to dwell on that.

i'm sure that any picture you see him that night I'm in. I was pressed up against his sweaty back 95% of the show. I was holding on to his table for support -- people were literally pushing me on to his set. I feel stronger. I'm waiting for some pics to be uploaded on to flickr...
I talked to him after, REAL nice guy... just very stinky.

Any dragons? They still exist over there right? ;D

My current joy o'da day is I am not hungover like a lot of people. Wisely I choose not to imbibe this year. We will be having my brother in law's his & her wedding shower at the house, I have his bachlor party to plan (no strip clubs I've been warned :-/), BRMC & KOL in the same week, my 10 year anniversary/vacation, and a wedding all in the next 60 days. I guarentee I will be having a few too many on everyone of those occasions and will be complaining then, but not today!

Yeah, I know you have that Jazz Night, but if you could skip it at all you should get there to catch The National. I've been becoming a big fan.
Tomorrow night I'm watching Almost Famous (possibly my favourite film) with the girl I've been 'seeing'. She's never seen it, I can't wait!
Yeah, wrote the 4th and last exam for this week! And next week there won´t be any exams and Thursday and Friday are holidays! 8-)

YEAH! My friend won tickets to see Kings of Leon next Thursday in Milwaukee and asked me to come with her!!!! All I have to do is drive to get the tix and to milwaukee and we will split the gas. I wasn't going to go because I can't afford it, but I can afford FREE! YAH! I don't even care that it is going to be at Rave! I am so excited!!!

i got a 3.0gpa on the nuts this spring, wow
i was working last night, and this guy came up to me and introduced himself. turns out he is the ceo of the largest network of radio stations in the state. he was like, "i just wanted to say that i have heard your work and you are incredibly talented." he then went on to tell me that if i ever wanted to work for them, he would find a job for someone like me. this is a big deal to me, because i was stressing out about my level of talent and thinking i was too average. i guess not! not that i would leave my job, but... man, i kick ass.

Gaining a MUCH better appreciation of Tenn. Fire after riding around Shelbyville yesterday listening to it. It really kinda' surprised me.
Holy Crap! I have NEVER heard Golden on the radio; station I'm streaming out of LA is playing it right now. How great for such a beautiful day here. ;D
I started a new job yesterday(won't be full-time 'til Aug.). That means after Aug. no more family business/working with family. Those who have worked with family should understand. I also had french toast stix from Burger King for breakfast woo hoo! :)
Arrested Development marathon tonight with the girl I've been seeing for a few weeks. I got her hooked on Saturday (watched 10 episodes), looking forward to watching my absolute favourite show with a great girl.
I also just finished a project for work that I've been working on steady for a month.
Those my friends, are my current joys. ;D
i really like music
and i took my friend's old clarinet out of his locker and took it home with me.
i've never played any sort of instrument like this before
and it's been a day and i'm already progressing so much.
i wish i wasn't such a nerd most the time
i'm figuring my shit out. i am going to go out to dinner. i am going to see Kings of Leon on Thursday. next week will hopefully start a different job. loving life. loving spring. Bring it on world! I can't wait! :D
i'm going to two Jacket shows this summer!!!! They should go on break more often!
i'm so close to summer and also really close to some fun travel:
FIESTA TEXAS IN SAN ANTONIO AND TORONTO
guess which one i'm more excited about
My boyfriend made a waterfall for my garden pond. It's beautiful :D
Returning to an unusually warm welcome from my students after taking 4 days off. Maybe me sub-contracting the meanest sub in the building had something to do with it. ;)
i am so excited about this weekend. i get to hang out with some of my best friends, one of which i haven't seen since he graduated 2 years ago. and we are going to what promises to be a freakin awesome dance party.
I got a new, new job! I started a landscaping job this week, but that was just weird. Too much hanging out and not working. I guess I am getting old. That job would have been perfect for me like 10 years ago! I wish I could keep the hemp pants they gave me. So.....
I got an offer to be the Assistant Manager at a coffee shop! One of my life goals has always been to work at a coffee shop because I LOVE COFFEE and I think it would be a cool business to run myself someday. It is a small business that has about 7 shops in my area. I start on Monday! I will be working all sorts of weird shifts, but I don't care. I am going to be in charge, but also when I leave, I will get to leave it there. Much better than my last 2 jobs where my work followed me home (and on vacation and everywhere)!
Yeh for new opportunities!
Yeh for Kings of Leon tonight in Milwaukee! My luck has changed!

i am currently digging this arthur's green energy smoothie. man, yum. here's a list of ingredients for the folks who like these things:
apple juice, banana puree, passionfruit juice, prine plum puree, spirulina, soy lecithin, wheat and barley grasses, vitamin c.
i would say that i've probably drank this stuff twice a week for the past two months. the other days, it's pomegranate juice.
i'm also enjoying the fact that it's almost the weekend because i am !#$$%^##%^#%#$%tired.

I used to accompany my one friend to the casino once or twice a month. Came back ahead every time. Then they took away my Men In Black game, so I don't go there.

yeah i didn't go. maybe that should be in the complaint thread, or maybe not :-/
Probably for the best. Put that money that you might have lost towards some Coor's Light. ;D
My current joy: sitting on my ass in bed playing Nintendo Wii. This thing never ceases to amaze me. Super Mario World is owning my soul (once again).

It is raining, finally, and I'm sure the foliage really appreciates it.
Slo-pitch tonight!
My team managed to win on Monday without me, so that's good. We're not sitting at 2-1, but tonight will be our toughest test yet.
My last game started off bad (I've been moved from 2B to SS), a few errors, then I turned a sweet double play and picked it up from there. Now I just need to pull up my batting socks, I'm like 2/10...

Ditto. I'd love to turn a sweet double play, but it would probably cause me a mischief.
Playing golf on Sunday. I could post some ludicrous babble about that, but it would
definitely not be in the current joys thread :D
Edit: ooh! I think 2B is second base, and SS is short stop? Mind you, I have no clue what either of those mean. :P
Should we start a cricket thread, Doc? That'd fox'em!
Haha, you pair made me laugh. You were right on the 2B and SS there Mark!

Winning something is always good! I didn't win anything today, and I played the lotto. I'll keep waiting on that one, its bound to happen one of these days. I did however get my hair cut, and I didn't end up with a disaster on top of my head. I chopped off 12 inches and sent it to locks of love, which makes me feel good. I walked out with a very cute new do. I feel light and free and happy. So there are no millions in my bank account yet, but I feel like a million bucks!!!

Just won a ticket for the Nicole Willis & the Soul Investigators show on saturday.
It´s pretty cool stuff: http://www.myspace.com/nicolewillisandthesoulinvestigators
But I don´t know if I can find something going with me that show otherwise I won´t go...
I'm not sure if this should go into the Current Joys or Current Complaints thread, but oh well.
Just had my last bit of contact with the girl whom I spent the absolute best month of my life with. We won't be talking aside from letters for one year to fourteen months and I really don't know how to deal with it. We had a two hour plus telephone conversation but neither of us wanted to address what's (not) coming next. I think the best thing for me to do is keep my head up, remember the great times we had together in such a short time and just have faith that what I think is meant to be will actually come to fruition.
TWO (2) REAL DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT!!!
(+finals. fuck)

Being back home!!!!!!! After a week in Disney, I is ready to come back home. I've seen enough MILFs and little hotties to last me for a while. THANK F"N GOODNESS for hot summer weather!!!
I am seriously about 15 pounds heavier from the massive amount of food that was consummed. I tried running but only made it out 3 times and each time I got about a mile in and said fuck it, there's pre paid vacation food to be consummed somewhere.
Now I'm sitting in the Orlando airport waiting for them to start loading the plane. My carry on is about 30 lbs of various chocolates and candies from around the world. Man I am such the glutoneous piggy...
I would highly recommand to anyone a trip to Disney with the sig other WITHOUT THE KIDS at least once. It was great.
I finished reading the Old Testament two nights ago. It took a long time to do it, as there was an idle time where I didn't think I had "time" to read... I've since adjusted my nights so that I make time to read almost every night. It's not a routine, I just read it when I want to.
I also got commissioned by a lovely lady here at the Jacket Forums to sketch a puffin, which really brightened my day. It reminds me that I should be thankful that I'm able to enjoy what I'm working on.
At work, I'll soon start inking the serigraph positives on my boss' St. Louis Cardinals painting. I'm so excited to start silk screening again. I am really, really determined to prove a point with this next piece. I'm pretty much going to do what I can (I am limited, since it's not my creation) to turn some heads. It's all about technicality and style, with Serigraphs... I'm pretty stylish, me thinks.
I spilled some coffee on my pants, but these cargo shorts seem to totally absorb and conceal coffee spills (yes, I've done it before). It's weird, it's like the coffee just disappears. And now my crotch smells like fresh coffee. That, in of itself, is a current joy.
America's A Horse with No Name...

weekend is here
unjustified rise in my self-esteem
finally broke my soda addiction. i used to drink coke all the time, but just kind of stopped for some reason. anyway, i am trying to drink a coke right now and it's like chugging carbonated corn syrup. i mean, that's what it is... really. breaking the coke (haha) addiction makes me happy.
also, today is bob barker's last day on the price is right. this makes me sad, but i am happy that i got so much joy from the price is right over all these years.
cheers, bob!

My friend at work brought me some chocolate. She's had a bereavement and has been of work for a couple of weeks. I kept some of her work up to date while I was doing mine. Nothing much really, but she said it meant a lot. Some people are so nice :D
I picked up my portfolio from class today... it had been sitting there for a month or two, since I haven't had time to go over the tracks, so it was exciting to finally be back in possession of my work. Last semester was my final class in Commercial Art. I'm done with the technical side of the AAS and all that's left for my degree is a couple of academic courses.
I got an A+ in the class, so that was a nice finish, but in the years I have worked with my instructor, I have come to expect a scathing letter from him at the tail of each semester - regardless of the grade he reports. I've come to expect and even appreciate his single-page rants, always written diagonally across a cream-tone page in blue ink... Compact letters in cursive, with underlines and double underlines and trios of exclamation points where emphasis is necessary.
In his letters especially, he's always been tough on me, tough on my work, and insistent that I am so much better than I "put off" and that I need to stop dicking around and wasting his and my time. It sounds worse than it really is, though. Our relationship is very important to the both of us, I have him to thank for every job I've had the past three years. He's been a mentor, friend, and father figure - but I can always expect the ass-blistering letter in the sleeve of my portfolio at the end of the semester.
Not this time.
The letter was a brief, relaxed note, all of two paragraphs at best, with nothing but compliments of my efforts. Wow.
Well done Brad! I'm delighted for you :D

I'm sure he wouldn't have done that if he didn't think you had some serious talent worth exploring and experimenting with. Why would he waste either of your time or energy? Sounds like you have a great mentor in that person. Well done ... now get back to drawing!! ;)

Hi Colleen :)
Having my ipod on shuffle and when "Steam" from OKO kicks on it draws a tear to my eye it is so powerful! It was actually one of the deciding factors in attending "OBH" camp. It is the least I can do for a band that has such an impact on me. :)
My friend called me from Bonnaroo to tell me he saw a National shirt he thought I would like so he bought it for me. :)

Knowing that often-mentioned girl I was seeing is having the time of her life yet still has time for me. A phonecall when you least expect it is sure a good way to start off a week.

My senior dog Teddy appears to be on the mend from a bad from a very hard time--he got a bad infection from a wound we never noticed on his leg, became weak and dehydrated from the stress of being inpatient at Tufts Vet Hospital, suffered heat stroke on the car ride home (which we were able to overcome with the help of our local vet), and finally developed some pretty bad edema in a different leg. We have been nursing him closely at home (less stress for him) and it looks like he is coming out of the woods. He is a sweet 12 year old and I'm glad he is making it...
i'm done with school! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Flying to Norway tomorrow for a long weekend. It's quintuple joy:
1. Seeing two really good friends we haven't hooked up with for 2 1/2 years.
2. Two days off work means a four-day weekend.
3. It's a new country - number 42 on the list.
4. The Scandos go mad at solstice. Nekkid swimming parties, drinking and good times.
5. I'm taking loads of good tunes on my MP3 player - spreading the Jacket in Norway.
Catch y'all on Wednesday.

You sir, are the f'n MAN!!! I'm currently 42 countries behind you. And Apparently I need to move to Norway or anywhere is Scandanavia. No nekkid swimming in the Status during the Solstice...sadly.
i just slept for 13 hours straight.
i feel so good.
I just got home from golfing with one of my best friends who I haven't seen for two and a half years. It was a great afternoon, we haven't missed a beat. Heading out to the pub in an hour or two.
Old friends are great.
This is my favourite thread :)
Bachlor party for my brother in law last night. Good times were had
and nekkidness was viewed.
Also, see Complaints...ugh
i don't know if it's a joy or a complaint or just a thing, really, but my birthday is in three days (since it's techincally the 25th) and i'm just not excited.
i just don't really want it to happen. not because i dont want to get older, actually, just the opposite, but i just want to sort of avoid it this year...
and i'm mad blunted (maybe that's why i seem to lack excitement...)
either way, it's a weird feeling.
i'm mad sleepzzzzzy

You would like her, she listens to The Hold Steady. We're gonna see 1408. I'm kind of awkward when it comes to women, so send some good vibes tommorow night.
I work with her and people at work like to gossip and stick there nose in people's business. So half the restaurant knows and this is just the first time we're going out. I don't want to come on too strongly so that pisses me off. >:(
i just got a package from canada that makes me think about light.
;)
True, that sounds pretty much the exact same situation I was in recently. Hopefully you date isn't leaving the country for a year to fourteen months. :-/
I actually just got off the phone with said girl who left the country. That was an hour and a half of pure, unfiltered joy.

That would be pretty weird if it did. But yeah i don't think thats gonna happen. I feel for your situation, that would be the kind of luck i would have. Hopefully it works out for ya. I can't remember if you ever said why she was leaving? College? Work?
I think i'm gonna surprise her with a mix. I told her awhile ago i was gonna make one and never got around to it.
She's working for a year, and then (I believe) she has a two month travel option on her work Visa. I've always had real bad luck with women, and was perfectly content on my own then she came into my life. Funny how one person can show one what their life is missing.
Tonight's chat went so well, that it's put me in a shitty mood somehow, so I'm going to go work that out in a minute with some exercise.
Good call on the mix. I gave her one as part of her leaving present, and I hand-wrote lyrics for her (she loves to read them), bloody well took like 4 hours.
I actually just put the finishing touch on mix #2, complete with a lyric book and notes I wrote about what each song means to me. I can't wait to send it with my reply to her first letter which should be here any day now.
please pardon my sappiness tonight, thanks
Sappy is good :)
And mixes are very good!
I'm happy for you both.
had some drinks with a former co-worker. i really thought when i quit, that there was going to be some weirdness going on. nope. she's still cool!! i'm alright with that.
There is an air conditioning unit in my bedroom window. I got a good night sleep. So thankful.
What did the pilgrims do when it was 95 and humid? Did they sit on the porch and drink pina colada? well, that's what i like to do.

It's going to hard, and a real long time, but I've got faith that it's all going to turn out well.

Oh I am sooooooo happy right now (and I've got blisters on me fingers!!!!). Guitar and hard case for $320. Sounds great acoustic and actually sounds badass plugged in. I ain't doin shit at work tomorrow but lockin my office door and jammin. It's mine, it's alllllllll mine.
Quotei don't know if it's a joy or a complaint or just a thing, really, but my birthday is in three days (since it's techincally the 25th) and i'm just not excited.
i just don't really want it to happen. not because i dont want to get older, actually, just the opposite, but i just want to sort of avoid it this year...
and i'm mad blunted (maybe that's why i seem to lack excitement...)
either way, it's a weird feeling.
i'm mad sleepzzzzzy
I know you haven't been excited about it but...

"strenuous"?
there is no such a word as enstrenuating, unfortunately. my spell check things i'm trying to spell "menstruating", so unless you meant that...
"Extenuating." 8-)

The bug girls* are right, but enstrenuating should be a word. I like it.

i googled it and it was used by a couple people, so at least i'm not the only one who thinks its a word.
Only half an hour left of this work week. This was possibly my worst week of work in life, just absolute shit. I've entertained the thoughts of quitting every single minute this week, but it's just not in the cards yet (unless I go off the deep end in the near future).

I've had jobs like that and it sucks. Move on, but do it at a time that will benefit you, not the bastards that are driving you mad. Easy to say, I know, but try to think of the happy things in your life. I know there are some :)

1) Roger Waters tomorrow
2) Twins win
3) got my red rocks tickets today
4) Had dinner with my folks
5) Kevin Garnett is still a wolves (for now :-/)
6) my one of my best friends is coming over tonight from some drinks and such things
all and all yesterday, today, and tomorrow, was, is, and going to be great!!!
-moving in to a new, large, comfortable house
-good budget forecast
-starting to be able to actually save money
-fun times with the kids
-new daughter in just a few weeks
-lots of internal and external changes for the better
all in all, it's a pretty hard and trying time in life, but the hard work will reap bulbous rewards. i'm ready.
keep on keepin' on, peeps.

Right on Rats! :)
I just got home after spending a wonderful few hours over a case of beer with one of my best friends whom I haven't seen in a year or two (aside from a round of golf earlier this week). It's just amazing how we can pick up and leave off just like we'll be seeing each other next weekend. So strange.

Again with the kind words!
I actually had a pretty good chat with my boss (whom I can't stand) at the end of the day - little does he know I will not be working there in eight months (or less). Everyday I turn off my outside opinions and thoughts and just buckle down, thinking of how it'll benefit me and put me in a place I'd like to be, whilst daydreaming of my life post-work. I should feel guilty, but I don't at all, maybe if I was treated with more respect I would.
;D
So, the U of A says I'll either have to cut my hours at work, or I have to get off my parents' health insurance. Basically, now I have to give my bosses at Jireh Publishing the same ultimatum... Get me benefits, or you get a whole lot less of me.
I've been working full time since November, and I'm still considered a full time student, but my full-time student days are over once this next semester rolls around - I only need 2 more credits before I've got my degree in Commercial Art. So cutting my hours won't do me any good whatsoever... it may just get me laid off completely.
I don't want to cut back my hours, either. I need the work (yes, I need to work - I know it sounds weird, but I really like my job and I would be heartbroken to lose it), and I obviously need the money.
On the flip side, my company desperately needs me. I'm probably the only Serigrapher in town, and I'll wage I'm probably one of the best in the region and the lowest paid in the country.
So why is this in the Current Joys? I dunno... besides being a little concerned, I'm not worried about this at all. The company knows they've been underpaying me, for all of the various things I do for them, so I'm feeling good about bringing that to their attention and letting them know that it's their turn to step things up.
Alan Johnston has been freed.

New avatar in honor of the t-shirt I'm having made as we speak. It's going to have the Rain Dogs cover on the front, and on the back say "tango till they're sore". There was also a very pretty girl who was working at the print shop.
Kinda lame, but my fingertips hurt really bad on my left had...because I have literly been playing guitar all day. Bouncing between the Fender Squire and my new acoustic. I'm feeling a major breakthrough coming (fucking better with the amount of time I've put in lately). I have been working on the Major scale (s) and was able to work through them quite nicely on the Fender and finely on the acoustic which has a little higher action and thicker strings that I'm still getting used to. Was able to hit all my standard chords without looking, run through the scales without really looking, and played through the few songs I do know. I was playing around with Iron Man and was able to play through the first half. Almost, kinda, sorta sounded otay. :-/
Like I said, I'm feeling a breakthrough.
oh and I'm in the midst of getting the opening part of Enter the Sandman down. Thank goodness for YouTube as I've found enough video to help with that.
i really like summer vacation.
It's Friday. Today is supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far (word is gonna reach 41). As soon as I'm off work it's straight to the bar, then to the fair where there's horse races and more!!!
Monday is my birthday, I'm on vacation all next week. I finally have people coming out to my house to re-run the cable in two rooms, fix my dryer and I'm getting my car fixed. I don't even care that it's going to cost some money I'm just glad to get it done.
Also, I have wine :)

Oh my....
Today was an absolute scorcher, beers were tasting great (not doing much though, which was ok), won $21.25 at the horse races, but the fair ugh. I'm so disgusting right now. I'm covered in a layer of dried sweat, then dirt, then more dried sweat, then carnie dust and my stomach hurts from too much carnie food. Good time though!
A friend of mine finished second in the Guitar Hero (videogame) competition and I won for 'best show'. Leg kicks, no-looks, shred from the knees and back to back with the host won me that title. ;D

This is my current joy. There's a ring on her left hand.
I didn't do anything too fancy, yesterday, I just broke out a couple of wine glasses and asked the question. I figured I would let her stress out for a little while about how exactly to remove the ring from the stem.
(http://theartofbradsmith.com/MyFiance2.jpg)
My dad is a glassblower, so he helped me out here. He custom made the two glasses... I snapped the stem, and we'll reconstruct the glass for a future dinner or perhaps a reception.
The ring is a blue topaz... Decided against the traditional diamond, because she's a crazy flaming liberal.
i'm getting married! :)
WOW!
Congratulations to you both :D

Truer words have never been written!
I just read on MSN today that the owner of the Parisian nightclub that Jim used to frequent is writing a new "tell-all" that claims Jim died in the bathroom stall of his bar. He saw 2 "drug-dealers" carry a dead Jim away and that they "threw" him into the tub & that everyone knew he was dead from a heroin OD. Big conspiracy bullshit

This fantastic news has made my day :) :'(
oh, I cannot believe I waited this long to post this. Kinda long, but if you've read some of my Complaints, this will be a rarity as it a Joy about something from work.
So at 4PM I get a phone call that I need to come over immediatly and talk to our 2 corporate Supply Chain people/head badasses. I was freaking out at this point. My office is a 1/4 mile from where they are so I had just horrible thoughts going through my head the entire walk. I get there and have to wait as they were in a rather ugly conversation with some people about some screw ups with Wal-Mart and who's gonna pay for it. I'm freaking out even more, I'm literly sweating at this point. Stop, rewind to lunch. My Director (probably #6 in the Company) right before lunch frantically requested a detailed breakout of my job, with consideration of who I deal with and a rough idea of hours and percentages and such and need it as soon as possible. Back to 4PM. So they sit me down and tell me about a bunch of the issues going on, and that they need assistance. I HAVE BEEN OFFERED A NEW FUCKING JOB. My Director gave them her blessing hence wanting to know the breakout on my job. I was told to think about it overnight but I would be completly insane not to take this promotion. Oh did I mention that I probably would move into this role like in the next 2 weeks. MY FUCKING WORK PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. The gods of petfood have heard my crys.
Today was just an awesome day. I went to lunch at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant for lunch, with one of my best friends. Then the job thing happened, then I find out KOL and BRMC are coming to Omaha together and I have permission to go and I can see family then too. I haven't been back to Omaha in about 3 years. I'm afraid to go to bed as I do not want today to fucking end.
QuoteMY FUCKING WORK PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.
glad to hear things're workin' out now :)
as for me, my current joy is simply that
ferris bueller's day off is on.

Isn't that the best. I live in a little town and get the sounds of nature sometimes (occassionaly the smell if the wind shifts). Nothing like sitting on your patio with the birds chirping, you are not hearing the constant drone of traffic, and your kids can run around without fear of getting hit by a vehicle.
Quotei hope this one isn't as stressful.
It will be but in a completly different way. I will not be tied to my job like I am now.
mike- congrats on the job! Good work!
Rats- your house sounds wonderful and doesn't it feel great to own a house! Like they say in O Brother Where Art Thou: You ain't no kind of man unless you got land! Sounds like you have a little slice of heaven. i miss the sounds of the country and have been couped up in the city too long, although I love my house. frequent trips into the woods are mucho necessary for me. goo thinking setting up shop there. anyway, congrats, i'd also like to see some pics.
damn, a lot of good stuff is happening around here! Note to self: buy a lottery ticket today.
i get to go see the violent femmes tonight. i have never seen them before and am PUMPED. oh, did i mention that it is free and i don't have to drive and plan on getting trashed? because all those things are happening, plus my vacation is only one week away!

Thankfully nope. Get to stay in Casa Koehler in scenic Waterloo. I think a kidnapping can be arranged. Seriously....

FINALLY FINALLY, two of my best friends have come around and think that the jacket is now the coolest thing on earth. They are constantly calling me and asking questions and buying their own copies of cd's. They can't wait for the jacket to start touring again so they can go see them live instead on the dvd. My world just got infinitely better.

She's a keeper. ;) Any woman that loves Jacket is AOK. I cannot get my wife to like them, not matter what I try.
I'm just about to fly out the door and catch up with a few friends including one I've not seen since Christmas. We're taking it easy, just gonna drink some beers and 'stoop it' all evening.
I got a raise!
Less than one month until I'll be basking in rock and roll glory (The Hold Steady).

Yes she is! She has seen the Jacket twice and WAWM is one of her favorite songs (which is on the show she taped). When you come to Jacket Fest next summer you can meet her. :)

Well I just walked out from work today. I did just get off the phone with my manager and i think i still have my job if i call them tommorow and let them know what i'm doing. I'm not sure if i want to come back. I think i'll drink on it tonight.
While on my nightly 6km run around town (literally, completely around the town) I was blasting Outkast's "B.O.B." and as I was the last stretch of my run, all the streetlights on the road I was on went out. What an amazing feeling!
Now I'm sweating like a pig and trying to cool off beside my giant industrial size fan...not such an amazing feeling.
I am in LOVE again! Got my Demos Package and heard the War Begun live version. :)
i was bummed out about that job i wanted because i had not heard from them yet... but it turns out they're just slow and will make a decision next week. please cross your fingers.
other joy: my vacation is only TWO days away.

Finally getting to meet Dylan at Badman Records. He hand delivers my purchases to my store, and we finally got to meet. He has the cutest son and wife, and they are such genuine people. And big MMJ fans. He promised some good things to come.
AND...me and my boo are celebrating our 1st year married on Sunday! Sweet, sweet love is the best! And the cupcakes we are going to eat as well (we had cupcakes in lieu of a traditional cake and they are yummy...I hope the bakery has stock when I go in tomorrow).

I've just got back from the wedding of a very dear friend. He's has a tough time in recent years and it's so great to see him happy. He lives where I moved from three years ago and invited some old friends of mine to the evening party as a surprise for me. People are soooo good!

HUGE dodge ball tournament on saturday. last year the winners won a car. there's only 16 teams so our chances are good. i've never seen the movie, so i'm going on my 6th grade knowledge and skill.
I just joined a gym, i really need to get in shape. Just got back from my first workout and feel pretty good, i'll probably hurt in the morning. Might be spending less time here unfortunately.

just got back, we got 3rd outta 20 teams. each winner got $1,000. we should have won, but the team we lost to, felt the need not to actually throw the balls. it sucks, i really wanted and needed that money.
i decided to go to bed at 10:30 last night (even though my brother was having a party and it was mad noisy) and I just woke up after 12 and half hours and i feel goooooooooooooooooood

i have a question, whenever you add more music to itunes how do you get the new songs on the ipod without re-syncing everything?
THere should be two settings....Manual and auto-update. Auto-update will always match your computer's iTunes library to your iPod....but if you set in on manual, you can drag whichever songs over whenever you please.
Hope that answers it.

Even though it has been very hot and dry here in St Louis, in the last week & a half, I have harvested over 15-20 lbs of chili peppers (jalapanoes, thai, cayenne, and habanero) and we pulled in probably close to 50 lbs in grapes. :o
I am hanging chilis to dry today (with what I have left as I have been giving them away) and we are making LARGE batches of grape jam and jelly. I planted the chilis from seed and fully expected 3/4 of them to die as I have a black thumb when it comes to tomatos and bell peppers. Apparently chilies like me. Who knew?!?!?

MY NEW BELT!!!
I left my only belt in a bathroom stall at the Toronto airport (coffee stain on shorts, changed into jeans, forgot my belt) and I finally bought a new one today. It's reversible! One side is black and the other is brown and if I want to switch it the little latch thing pivots from side to side, seriously blows my mind. Hence why I'm posting about a belt being my current joy...

I quit back in March & stayed smoke free for 4 months - then ran into a bunch o' illness (in medical terminology) & picked it up again (with the help of the free carton's of American Spirits at the Forecastle Fest - how can I pass up a free carton of American Spirits?
Smoked on my break this morning & just decided - fuck it! I quit!
Goin cold turkey - with the help of some cough drops (thanks aMD) & some flavored toothpicks (thanks to my gf)
maybe a quitting smoking thread?
First day of school!! The boy starts 3rd grade so I'm glad to get his little back to class. My baby girl starts her first day of Kindergarten.....I'm happy as she's so excited (she was up before freaking 6 AM today), but I'm also sad because it means she's growing up and isn't going to remain my baby girl forever:'(
Hang in there LizKing! If I can do it, so can you. I loved my camel lights with a passion, but I am so glad it's over. Absolutely no craving anymore. In fact, I smoke about one cig a month now and all it does is remind me how glad I am that I don't smoke (tobacco) anymore.
Mike, my oldest girl started kindergarten last week too and I just can't believe it. She's still my baby. I was worried she wouldn't like it, but she's doing real good. Better than me! :'( I'm so proud of her!
Yeah, I shed a tear or 2 this morning. I did when the boy started Kindergarten as well. He's old enough now that we just kick him out the car and yell TUCK AND ROLL SON TUCK AND ROLL!!!!

QuoteQuitting smoking today!!! (also posted in the current complaints thread - can't decide)
I quit back in March & stayed smoke free for 4 months - then ran into a bunch o' illness (in medical terminology) & picked it up again (with the help of the free carton's of American Spirits at the Forecastle Fest - how can I pass up a free carton of American Spirits?
Smoked on my break this morning & just decided - fuck it! I quit!
Goin cold turkey - with the help of some cough drops (thanks aMD) & some flavored toothpicks (thanks to my gf)
maybe a quitting smoking thread?
i smoked the strongest cigs around, Newports. god i loved them!! :-*
what i did, to quit smoking (haven't bought a pack in over a year), is i bought my last pack, knowing that it was going to be my last. i smoked a cig here and there, until i had less than a half a pack, smoked one about every three days, until i just quit. basically just slowing weened myself from smoking. it worked. where i live they have a smoking ban, so seeing people having to leave to go outside (in the freezing cold) just to smoke made me feel better about myself. think every time (not to be mean) you see people smoke, think that they are killing themselves slowing, and you'll feel better about yourself and your decision. good luck, i know its hard.
i think i am going to move into a new apt.

My baby girl starts her first day of Kindergarten.....I'm happy as she's so excited (she was up before freaking 6 AM today), but I'm also sad because it means she's growing up and isn't going to remain my baby girl forever

I thought of you when I was in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Island is famous for its' black kites that nest high above the skyscrapers. It was amazing to watch so many flying amongst the buildings & fishing in the sea below, truly spectacular.

"Black Kites are the common brown raptors seen soaring in the skies above Hong Kong. They are most commonly seen flying above Victoria Harbour, occasionally coming down to the sea surface to scavenge on dead fish and other carrions. They are important players in the local ecosystem by helping to remove and recycle animal remains."

what if they don't like me?

Since 1946, 26 out of the 262 pilots involved with the Blue Angels have lost their lives in flight. On April 21, 2007, Cmdr. Kevin J. Davis lost his life in Beaufort South Carolina following the Delta Loop Break crossover maneuver. Yesterday 4 Angels in formation flew directly over us at a VERY low altitude! It definitely sends shivers. Can't wait to hear some stories at school today from some of the kids.

Haha I actually love the original - do I have to through in one of these :-[ ?
I'm obsessed with the cover, I'll have to see if I can't find space for it on my next mix...
I was originally hired to help finish the job... Rick Rush needed an artist who could forge up some silk screen positives and quickly, so that he could finish an incomplete serigraph of Vince Young with the Texas Longhorns. Well, our schedule got fucked up when he decided that it'd be in the company's best interest to take 1/3rd of the production and finish it, leaving the rest of the 300+ prints to gather dust. We finished initial production in January, here it is August 28th and we will be running our very last color in the print.
We have pretty much slaved over these things in the heat, so I feel really good to say that the serigraph is not only about to be finished, but that it actually looks better on this second run than it did in the first, as we were able to study the first and make adjustments in its registration. I'm so excited to get this out of the way, it's been ongoing since November.
By the way... the one color we're running is black, it's a touchup color where we missed a player's ear hole in his helmet... so we're running the press today for an ear-hole (black dot).
Started my new job today. It was fine. Everyone was really helpful. Didn't make an arse of myself. Plenty of time for that though, as teaching doesn't start until next week :-/
And Mark, it was very red and white. I'll have to be careful what I say. It'll be hard though as Newcastle wins match after match :D

Having the day off and indulging in that always rewarding first cup of coffee.
Actually it's the fact that I just dug a ditch through part of my yard and through a 100 year old driveway (which was reaally hard). But it's all for good and I now have a weatherproof electical outlet, switch, and lights on my patio. We can now sit out the patio and sit on the laptop since our wireless reaches that far, and drink at night in the fall.
I got my crappy mp3 player working again! That means I don't have to exercise without having jams to keep me going!!!

Nice! I'm going to have to break out my smoker soon after reading that! Pulled Pork maybe.....
I heard you guys over there know how to do it. When Jake went to the Blues, Brews, and Barbecue festival a couple of weeks ago in COMO he said it was the best pulled pork he had ever eaten. Chunkier (ours is kinda' stringy) with much better sauce. I love my smoker, you just don't have to worry about burning stuff.

That's GREAT! You probably feel so good you want to get together with that iowa cop I talked about and feed him that shit I mentioned! ;)
QuoteFor the first time in about a year I'm able to have coffee, breakfast and read the newspaper before work. I'm NEVER up in enough time, so this is a wonderful treat.
Since you are so happy right now you will start to want to get up earlier and earlier to face your wonderful day to come. Just do not be like me and start to make it like 4:00 am or so. At least not yet. ;)

QuoteQuoteGoing to see M. Ward in about, oh, two hours from now. Sufficiently wined. Yeah!!

In a word: PHENOMENAL! Really, It was fantastic. I had never seen him before and man, I was blown away. Had no idea it would rawk so hard, but it did. I danced and danced and danced. Amazing stuff. It seemed mostly Post War stuff, nothing I didn't recognize, but I only own Transistor Radio & Post War. He did Magic Trick and I was hoping for a special guest...didn't have one, but it was still a super-duper show. M. Ward that is.
The 2nd opener? P-Yew! Poor guy. Jason Lytle (Grandaddy's fame?). I don't know what was going on with this guy last night, rambling on and couldn't start/finish songs. (Even worse than when Al Green goes nutty and can't get through a song - painful!!) You know it's gone horribly wrong when the crowd starts yelling at you to leave the stage and even the
performer agrees that if somebody had a large hook they should use it to pull him off stage. As much as he sucked, I felt really bad for the guy. That had to have been the suckiest performance EVER.
Was helping my Mom cleaning her basement and we found a box of stuff that belonged to a friend of hers who she lived with years ago. So here I am home now, ready to spin these on the turntable:

Oh man, today I'm on fire!!!
Got a new job at the place I wanted. Working on an assembly line manufacturing roof trusses. Some mindless manual labour that will be perfect over the winter. And the best part: it's only a 3 minute drive from me, every other place I've worked is in the city 20 minutes away. One of my very good friends also works there, so that'll be bad-ass.
AND, phoned my last employer to find out when I'd get my cheque for the last day I worked. Turns out they're gonna pay me for the entire 2 week pay period because I gave them notice (even though my boss didn't accept)!!! So basically in the 2 weeks since I've been there I've worked and found a new job all while they're paying me, muhaha.
I'm also seeing The Weakerthans for the 4th or 5th time tomorrow, but I'm catching a cold. Not gonna stop me though. :)

one of my most favorite bands of all times, the dirty projecotrs, might play at my high school because i messaged them on myspace! ahhhhh
i wrote him with all the information, explaining that our high school features artists with unique approaches to music and notation (capillary action, tyft, andrew d'angelo, gutbucket, and story of modern farming in the past) and was interested in seeing if they'd like to be our main event in the 2008 - 2009 school year.
i didn't know whether to expect a response back and if it was a stupid request but i put it out there anyway and i got a response within MINUTES!
Body: hi jenny
not stupid at all, this sounds really rad actually.
the question is when we will be able to do it.
it is almost certainly impossible for 2007, as we will be on tour until about december 7th. but we are going to be doing some shows in january and again in april.
please be in touch with ryan@korkagency.com, he is my agent, and he will facilitate this thing.
thanks for your note

so i emailed the booking agent and we talked about price and dates and times and blah blah blah. now i just have to talk to the higher-ups to see if this is going to work out or not. aghhhi really really really really hope so! :)

He may hold your balls a little though. Be prepared. And a side not, it's far less awkward if you don't have a five foot tall Asian lady doing the balls holding. Nothing against five foot tall Asian women whatsoever, but as a 6"2' 14 year old boy, it was a slightly traumatizing experience to have her be the first woman to ever touch my genitalia as I literally towered over her. That and she started the whole experience with "Please take down your trouser." My Lord, that was terrifying.

After 3 hours of being off, the town's power is back on! It was cool for a while until my eyes got tired of reading by candlelight, and I really wanna watch The Wire, so I'm glad it's back.

I don't know what's going on over at Sirius, but I've been at work a little over 2 hours and so far this morning I've heard:
Golden
Gideon
Going to Acapulco
Wordless Chorus
(EDIT:) OBH
Keep up the good work, Sirius channel 26! ;D
I guess this is a current joy
It's gonna be one of those days. 9AM I'm woofing down a slice of pie :-/

Arrived at work to find a voice message from the fine folks at that shop where I buy my CDs. The message is to come in b/c they have something for me...??? :o It's a CD shop so this has to be a good surprise, right?
I wander up there and am presented with the MMJ Christmas disc. ;D :D
Can't help but love a store that buys gifts for it's customers...and good gifts at that!!

Anybody not shelling out the $13 a month for Sirius is cheating themself. Left of Center is the best radio I've ever heard.

I'm still holding out hopes that MMJ will make it down to Jazz Fest. MMJ with Dirty Dozen horns at Tip's would not suck. :)
How was the Galactic show? We're going on Wednesday. And, (belated) Happy Birthday!

So the building next to me is having a pretty nice sized party. i have my window cracked, and i can hear this drunk loud girl laughing. its a funny laugh.
i guess you have to be here. but its loud ;D
Getting my groove back!!! Feeling surprisingly good & positive for a Monday. Not to mention that I'm only working 3 days this week.
Turned on the radio this morning (WFPK) - the first thing I hear is the announcer dude - "So for some reason I have a 15 minute gap in the setlist this morning - so here's Pink Floyd's Dogs"
Awesome - truly awesome - I cant remember if I've ever heard that song on the radio - in its entirety.
Four day weekends!

Nice! What an epic song. If you ever get a chance to see the Roger Waters DVD called "In The Flesh", watch the performance of Dogs. It's spectacular.
70's day at school today! Frayed jeans, tie dye, bandana, small framed colored sunglasses, and beads. Taking Quicksilver Messenger Service, DOORS, Led Zep, Hendrix, and Deep Purple's Made in Japan (with Lazy, quite possibly one of the best live recordings of hard rock from the 70's imo). I'm gonna blow their minds....... :)
In the Light seemed to scare them a little so I switched it over to Band of Gypsys and they actually enjoyed that heavy beat.......

So I stopped in my local guitar store to pick up new strings and picks. I seriously gotta quite going to that store. I need to get a new amp. I test drove a couple, then plugged into the ginormous stack the store had set up. So an hour later I walk into home and get "Where the fuck have you been?" Not even that could bring me down from a solid hour of jamming at the guitar store on massive amps.....all on 11.

I have 15 lab tables in my room. Each table set up a closed circuit with a switch yesterday and lit their small lamps. I turned off all of the lights and turned on some Derek Trucks. When Derek started to "slide", I had the students clap in unison and dance around if they liked. One class even formed a conga line! Looks like both of us had what I call a "Golden Moment" yesterday. Teaching can be so rewarding.

I posted the last 150 or so actual CD's I have (store bought pro made ones) on my work's intranet bulletin board today. I'm doing it in hopes of getting rid of all of them so I can move 1 piece of furniture out of a very crowded room. I have everything converted to MP3 and backed up on MP3 Disc and on and external HD. But the REAL motivation and/or plan is to sell them to raise money to buy a new amp as the one I have is reaaaaaallly small or a Les Paul my nephew is selling, or both if I can sell them all. Within an hour of posting them, I already sold $150 worth. I really want that new amp and the guitar.

One of the young men and I often surf the net, gawking at the $800 shoes and he came across some money for Christmas and bought me some shoes. I was pretty blown away by the gesture.
Wow, you must have really had an impact on him. They are lucky to have you. I believe that with all my heart.
Christmas Break is (finally) here.
Today my friends and I are getting together for our first annual "Bloody Merry". Potluck supper, 2 hours of bowling, then a pilgrimage to the local bar. We've got half the bowling alley reserved (4 times larger than our average bowling nights) and more than our weight in booze. It's going to be incredible. Everyone's home for the holidays and I can't wait to catch up with some chums.
I'm way more excited for today than any other day in the very near future. Wish me luck (I'm the reigning bowling champion - 229! (5 pin) - but I tend to get very drunk on nights in which we hit the lanes, today is to be no exception).
HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL Y'ALL!
X-mas party tonight with friend's bands playing and friends from out of town and lots of booze. I'm going to be dressing up a little too. Been looking forward to this all week.
i'm going to the casino today. its the first time going in 2years or so. i'm pretty excited about it. its going to feel like the first time...the lights, the sounds, the fountain moutain dew that has way too much syrup in it...

Big mistake, it tasted awful and turned me off the drink completely for 6 months. I am glad I tried the ginger and now grape kombucha a month ago. It's niiice. They should sell that stuff in rock/dance clubs. Barz...
Good luck with the quest for the new amp Senor Kohler. I have a Roland JC 120, but a m looking for a tube amp. Maybe a Vox. Or a Matchless.

Is that leslie Nielsen's picture on the box. You may want to check the expiration date on that. It looks like its about 15 years old. Killer prize on the back of the box.

current joy: finally got an Ipod. took forever to transfer my songs into itunes. also bought a good pair on headphones, and the car radio thing. now i don't have to listen to the radio when i drive around at work! i'm so happy with this purchase. it was either a 360 or ipod. i think i went with the better choice.
Hey Walts, Yes you did make the better choice.
I got a replacement laptop which is good as I'm not secluded in the back room where we have the old desktop. However, this fucker has Vista which sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls. At least I have my laptop back so I can be in the living room with everyone else. :-/

Over the past week there's been up to 10 FEET of fresh snow that's dumped into the Sierra, and I've got free lift tickets to Northstar and a friends house to stay at in Truckee this weekend. It's been a couple of years since we've had these kind of conditions, and I am ready to ride.
And after a year and a half without a legitimate vacation, my wife and I are headed to Kauai in 3 and a half weeks! This one is well earned.

Thanks TEO, I had a great time. I am wrecked today though. Legs, back, arms, all completely sore. The conditions were kind of chunky and icy under about 5 inches of fresh on anything that wasn't groomed, so it was a lot of work. Well worth it though. Always is.
wasn't sure if i was going to get into the classes i needed to graduate (school started today)...got into em!! hopefully i'll be done this spring. i'm talking to my adviser on wednesday. hopefully, i'll be fillin' out some graduation forms!! i'm starting to see the light...

Canadiens? Or does that refer to a sports team? Best to be sure before you go. I've heard the Canucks can be quite picky about these sorts of things. I'm just sayin'.
BTW, Welcome in advance to the beautiful Great Northwest Walter! ;)
vespacheck, canadiens is french. so either way is ok in our country, but if we're speaking english, it's Canadians. (the other way is pronounced ca-na-djEns)
i don't know about the dwi thing, but last time i went through the border i went with an actor who's in a lot of commercials, and they talked about that for 20 minutes and didn't check my id. so... go with an actor.

comcast digital cable and high speed internet package. there doesn't seem to be much of a difference in the internet though, it was a much bigger step going from dial up to cable modem. can't wait to watch some stuff on On Demand tomorrow.

Heard from rats through an e-mail! He said everything is going very well, but keeping VERY busy with school. It was nice to hear from him.
Just finished watching a dvd from a live show kindly provided to me just recently. God, how I love some of you people.
Got chills (yet again). Does it ever stop? I doubt it.
Got my Hillbilly Gypsies CD in the mail yesterday just in time for Hillbilly Day at school today.
Sunday, my schedule chills out and everything goes back to "normal".
The week after next, i'm going to mexico for two weeks on a school trip... staying in cuernavaca (nicknamed the "city of eternal springtime") with a family, going to school there (with 30 other kids from my school)... my spanish is going to get so much better...
oh man, i'm psyched...
i just have to get through this week and i'ts allllllllll goooooooooddddd
i am excited about happy hour--should that count?
because i feel like this:

The Random Song feature on my iPod.
Man, every song is fantastic!
How I've missed you, Harvest Moon.
Do I really have this much MMJ loaded on it? Like 3 out of 10 songs....or does the pod love them too? Curious.
ahhh sometimes hard work does pay off ---
i won the "judges choice award" at the berklee jazz festival this year for my arrangement of Animal Collective's "Leaf House" (which, if you're interested, you can hear at //www.myspace.com/creativehighschoolmusic .... that take is not perfect, but you get the idea!!)
Woooooorrrrdddddd! :):)

I know what you mean!
have you ever noticed that ipods seem to have minds of their own. it sometimes seems that mine isn't capable of playing songs randomly...the songs tie together in some way--call me crazy, but hey... :-?
i'm fascinated by microphones

Not too creepy...the recipe calls for a pork shoulder, I just used a big roast, cubed up. Nothing like stomach or ears or anything, though I suppose you can really make it as creepy (or not) as you'd like : ) I probably won't get to it until tomorrow night, but I'll send you a copy of the recipe. It's really tasty!
Happy Birthday Dark! Hope you had a good one :)
Have a good one!

how much does it have to snow before schools are canceled or two hours late? (this is a question for all students and teachers here.)
today it hasn't snowed at all. just freezing rain and sleet. around here freezing rain closes school quicker than a couple inches of powder. Our first day off we had freezing rain turning into 2 inches of snow, that's about what it takes.

they cancelled classes at wright state one day last week and the roads were clear by 10AM. tuesday night, we got about 5 to 6 inches and they didnt even delay classes. fucking boners. we also got a nice snow/freezing rain mix monday night and all the evening classes were still on. it was fun driving home in the middle of dayton ohio with about a half inch of ice on the roads. i drove about 15 to 20 mph the whole way home with people wrecking all around me. i felt like i was driving in, well....dayton ohio.

Coffee...it's like the biggest comfort in the world, when you're tired and in a shitty mood. I love coffee.
Also, tonight I have a bottle of El Tosoro that I'm going to alternate drinking shots from with drinking bottles of Miller Lite. The shot-beer-shot-beer... method has been my preference as of late, for times like these. Soul music will most likely be blaring.
I'm right there with ya on coffee, I might have to get some gentleman jack and some cola ( not mixed. ) Shot of jack with a cola chaser is my demon.
I just got an Ipod Touch for my b-day ( saturday 3/1 ), wahoo I turn 41. I plan on getting plowed tonite and listen to some MMJ , and maybe get lucky if I don't get to hammered ( Kinda like shootin pool with a rope if you know what I mean ;) )

We're prepared to sell out.

i liked seeing ms. y, too (i think i knew who she was).
my current joy is that my cat gets SO excited every time anybody goes into the bathroom. she thinks they're having a shower, and she wants to get in so she can play with the water drops dripping down. then she gets in there and she just walks around quacking, and then she starts waiting for the drips to fall from the faucet and drinking them. the best is how she has a paw poised about half up (i don't know why). if nobody's had a shower, she'll quack until you make the faucet drippy. and believe me, it is so cute, you'd pretty much do anything for her at that point.

Nice! Don't you love it when you got friends who'll do that.
lots of joys today:
1. had to go see my new specialist in louisville. i am glad to have found a dr. who can actually help make me better! i mean, it still sucks to live with this condition, but having someone who is committed to actually getting you BETTER is pretty exciting.
2. trip to louisville meant i got to listen to (what i discovered last summer to be) the greatest radio station known to man. WAKY is the shit. they play oldies, but what makes the station so unique is that they use vintage imaging. all the liners, bumpers, all the "promotional" stuff--is totally old school. none of this overproduced crap from some generic copyservice company. i respect that--and enjoy listening to it, too.
3. took the "highway" home. as in US 31-W, not I-65. i love old highways. it's cool to see all the hotels and restaurants--all the tourist attractions that existed before the interstate system homogenized it all.
4. easter candy on clearance. YUM.

One of my all time favorite bands is coming to town, the tickets will be under $30, and it has already pissed off my wife to the point that she hung up on me! Yes, this is destined to be a great show. I'm happy happy.
For real, I'm happy. That wasn't a sad attempt at sarcasm.

Mike, go to the show. Be happy. I don't understand why your wife is angry? Because she doesn't want you to be happy?

You know, there are days that I feel that. She just hates that I spend money to go to shows. I take her out and offer to take her to shows that she would want to go to (Wicked, Rent, Phantom, Josh Groban......I try to take one for the team) but nope. I'm going, I cannot pass up Supergrass. That would be like trying to pass up the Jacket. Oh wait, I'm not passin them up when they come back to town either. The couch is looking comfy I guess. ;)
got the unreleased animal collective EP.
though it's pretty unimpressive, it's nice to hear.
also, i feel less sick. good news.

I don't want to start anything or draw any conclusions but from what I gather from your posts here you sacrifice a LOT for your wife and kids. If your wife doesn't understand why you need to go to a rock and roll concert every now and then, then that's her problem not yours. Go rock out, be happy, and don't let your budget or your wife take away what you love.
Sorry if I'm way off base, but that's my take on it.

did you, by chance, watch alton brown's "feasting on asphault?" this show mirrored these sentiments.
i think my dream vacation would be taking a convertible and trying to follow route 66 as much as i could (a lot of it is gone now). that would be
awesome.

Sweetheart, I am no math person... I'm just like every other artist out there - I don't do the "numbers game" because I don't see how any of it past Math 110 is anything but useless theory... If it has no application in real life, I can't visualize it.
All that said, I had to start college in Math 098 because my entry scores were pretty low. That's Elementary Algebra, for the most part. The public school system totally failed me when it came to math, and I never realized how screwed I was until I had to withdraw from Math 098. I had to withdraw more than once. I withdrew from 110 more than once. This is my first shot at 116, which focuses more on hands-on math and less on theory... all a sudden, I'm doing good.
My secret is that I spent extra time teaching myself how to plug stuff in, so that I can literally grade my own papers. Learn to double check your answers, where possible. If you're given a variable and an equal sign, there's no excuse not to check your work. I actually graded my exam, I knew I had something like a 98 before leaving for Spring Break. The two points I missed had to do with the metric system, something you really can't check unless you have the conversion memorized.

I failed Algebra 4 times in high school :-/ I was also smoking copius amounts of weed.
I used to think math was useless theory until someone challenged me to think of it as the oldest philosophy in the world and that every single living organism is an ordered and precise system of numbers.
Take the sacred number of 4; think of all the wonderful ways 4 occurs in the universe (we'll start with the seasons ::) )

i'm the same way, brad. i can't do it unless i can attach it with something else... i need to visualize it... geometry was a breeze. long division's my favorite. but fuckin' sin? cosin? WHAT!?!! the biggest problem is when they offer no explanation on why the cos of any number is .blahblahblah. with that said, i'm really good with numbers. i actually attach everything that follows an order with a number and subconsciously refer to nearly everything with numbers in my head...
(i actually just recently figured out why i couldn't differentiate between my lefts and my rights... i think it's actually sort of interesting. i'm a righty. so i associate that with the number 1. i always associated it with 1 even before i knew there was such things called 'lefts' and 'rights'. yet reading (and interpreting) it's left from right. so the physical SIDE left is always the "primary" side 'cos it's the "stronger" side... so in the case of reading, and just generally, left is also associated with the number 1... SO if both left and right are both 1, even if it's in different contexts, i'm bound to get confused. i just sorted this out a few weeks ago and i can already now tell my lefts from rights without struggling.)
man i must sound crazy. and odd numbers usually aren't good. monday = 1 tuesday = 2 wednesday = 3 thursday = 4. friday doesnt' get 5. friday doesn't get 5 because it doesnt' sit right. friday actually doesn't have a number in my head.
i also attach colors to a lot of things that follow a succession (monday = red tuesday = light blue wednesday = yellow/grey thursday = green friday = white... 3 = tan 6 = green 2 = yellow august = brow september = orange june = light green... etc).
everybody learns ways to associate and group information in their universe. :) it's pretty normal in each individual head/sounds funny when talked about.
for example, as a way of "counting" the lamp posts on long car rides, i imagine a 2000 foot long machete that i'm holding out the car window, and i chop them down as we pass them and count them. i've been doing that since i was really small. a lot of people group things according to colours that they associate with them. i spell everything - if you're talking to me, i'm typing it out with my fingers while you're talking to me. the woman i work for, her wife, counts everything.
i actually really like to think that we all figure out how to process information in our own way.
Yeah, humans love to classify things.
I'm pwning Biology II, as well, by the way. While not as impressive as Math, my midterm in Biology II was an 82%. The class average was a 59%, so that sort of puts things into perspective for me. Right now my average in that class is an 85%... I had to get written consent from the department chair to take Biology II, because I dropped out of Biology I (which is more like Chemistry)...

Joined a Friday night softball league. Today was the first practice. Haven't played in a league in a long time. Hit and caught flys quite well. Cannot wait for the season to start. Nothing like Friday night softball leagues. Usually lots of beer is involved. Good times, goooood times.

softball is great fun but i can't catch a fly ball if my life depended on it, i usually like to pitch because of that. i must have some depth perception problem.

I think it's cool. I'm getting more and more into gardening but I don't think I can do it in my small ass yard (city livin >:( ) unless I chop down a huge tree and pull out my deck which we use a lot. so I just have to be satisfied with landscaping the yard. I'd like to start a garden or green house at school but I hate take on such a huge project without firsthand experience.
In other yard news, I'm falling a tree soon so I going to plant two more in it's place. the arbor day foundation gives you ten free young trees when you become a member ($10 fee). I'm going for the flowering trees collection. more maintenance but more beauty as well.

We used these last year for our tomatoes. Worked great for the Cherry and grape but not so for globe tomatoes. If you are expecting a big plant, make sure you get some kind of netting or something underneath to help support the plant. We are using these again this year. Cannot wait.

EDIT : No F'n clue where the text of my post went.
We used these last year. They worked really well for Cherry and Grape Tomato varieties. They didn't work too well with Globe varieties. Make sure you put some kind of netting under them so the vines have some support. We have a few plants break from the sheer weight of their vines as they grew that good.
QuoteQuoteQuoteWatering my TOTALLY ORGANIC garden with rain water collected from my rain barrel all the while listening to Both Band of Horses CD's and having beers. Oh,by the way my biggest tomato plant is 5 feet tall. Everything else is doing fine...I know some of you could really care less....but I know some of you care :)Will try and post some pics :-/
I care and I wish I was there with you! :)
Hey TEO do you have a garden?
Yes. We usually grow cukes, cherry toms, yellow toms, carrots, peppers, beets, and last year we had a bumper crop of brussel sprouts. I have some small brush to burn on the garden (potash?) and will amend the soil with some sterile manure before I take my Mantis and stir up the soil. The problem we had last summer with the drought was that the crops do not respond NEARLY as well to hose water as they do to natural rainwater. If it rains hard you can usually even see a color difference in the leaves as the plants soak it all in.
Solid hour long (UNINTERUPTED) jamming on the guitar with the boy. Ran through about 10 different Ramones songs and a few others and just made up shit as I went along, experimenting. Came up with some interesting squeaks and noises. Fingers and ears hurt like hell...Thank goodness man invented delicious beers and ales.
My Mum & Dad will be here in 2 weeks!!! :D
I haven't seen them in nearly a year & miss them SO much :'(
BOB DYLAN THEME TIME RADIO HOUR

I am bachin' it this weekend! :) ;) :)
the a-day game is tomorrow!
The New Pornographers and Okkervil River tonight! This will be my second chance to meet Neko Case after my failed attempt last summer at her show. I'm pretty sure she will be present, Bejar is doing his thing with Destroyer and I can't see them both not being there. I'm not so sure if my friend I'm going with will want to wait after the show to stalk her though. ;D
If your plan works, True, share!!!!!!!!!! I must meet her. Read I must meet her and run away with her and make redhead guitar playing babies.....uhhhh did I reveal too much?
Just found another rare/deleted CD that usually sells for silly money on ebay etc in stock @ hmv.co.jp!!! :D
The NHL playoffs and the sweep of the Texas Rangers by my Blue Jays.

Damn, that was low, Brad!
...but it was a good one!
I just walked into a F.Y.E. Music Store here in Boston and they were playing 'The Tennessee Fire.' throughout the store.
That is awesome.
CRABS! I got to go out with a friend of my Father-in-law's on Sunday...the guy runs a charter boat out of Fort Bragg. We checked on a couple dozen of his traps, a couple miles off shore...everyone in the group went home with 10 big ol', delicious Dungeness Crabs, been eatin' crab like crazy for the past couple days. DAMN I love me some crab.

Aquarium Drunkard podcasts.
very enjoyable
Made my first trip of the year to the ''Ice Cream Cabin'' this afternoon and was treated to some deliciousness served by very cute girls. It's seriously the best place in the city.
it's a pretty day outside! i've planted some lovely flowers, and then i washed two cars BY HAND.
now i am drinking some homemade lemonade.

Rented the Mantis today. That thing rules! Now the soil is perfect for plannting and it made me sweat out enough of the beer I drank last night I do not feel like dying
SPRING!!!!
The Carolina Wrens that nested under our awning on the patio are learning to fly. Cutest thing ever.
my joy: my boyfriend.
really.
i love him a lot. didn't there used to be a like "my significant other is the bee's knees" thread or something? i need to find it--because HE IS the bee's knees.
He sounds like a smart, funny, remotely attractive guy. Good for you!

Quotedo you watch idol in japan, db? because you need to set that tivo!
We used to watch it but every year it gets shown later & later. 2 years ago I think we were a week or 2 behind the US, which wasn't too bad but last year it was about a month & this year it's even longer.
Cheers 4 the heads up though...I'll look out for the Neil episode sometime in June ;)

Heading back to the Pitt River this weekend for the first time this year...
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l69/bradenbill/Pitb.jpg)
started a new job a couple of months back. Making a bit more money but a lot more work (case files on the computer with state mental health contracts, outcomes, diagnosis', etc...) and today I finally got all my programs running and I
got
my
ass
kicked so hard that I was seeing Japanese letters in my head. So, I get in my car to go home, all beat up and surly and dejected, and I listened to Tables and Chairs by Andrew Bird and
instantly
all my problems and worries were solved. Finished. Over
there will be snacks, there will!

I love it! I look forward to little more than getting out on the water this year. That's what I'll do to reward myself for a semester well done.
we don't quite have streams like that around here but I still can't get enough...now all's I need is a new fly rod 'cause I slammed mine in an SUV hatch a year ago. What an idiot.
Watching JJ's acoustic version of Steam Engine on youtube to bring me back to my roots of the reason I am here.

Thanks EJ. Between daydreaming about fishing and wasting time on this forum, I'm pretty sure that I'll be getting very little work done today.
Yeah, the Pitt River is pretty special...we are quite spoiled as fishermen (and women) out here. My goal this summer is to backpack into some high Sierra lakes and catch Golden Trout, never have caught one.
Yeah dude, get a new rod, get out fishing! 'Tis the season! Where do you live/fish?
i've just been told that i am a finalist for edison media research's "30 under 30!"
they're choosing the 30 most promising broadcasters under the age of 30 in the US...

I live in Nashville for now so it's pretty much smallies in streams and rivers. This is my first summer in Nashville so i'll definitely be hitting up the Cumberland for some rainbows.
I made it out to Oregon once and had the (first) time of my life. I've learned to not get picky and just enjoy the water. Good luck with the Golden, I've heard many a legend!
:)
i haven't been to school in over a month and a half, have only done makeup work for particular classes (biology, english, spanish). today, i learned that i got a b+ in math despite only being there for 10 days of the quarter and not doing any extra work.
what's going on????????
You're just that smart. ;)
Well I don't know about that! :)
The ironic part is that it's a higher grade than i got last quarter, when I was at school and trying.
Also, I've been teaching myself the piano. Haven't taken lessons for about 10 years.
This is my first project, I've almost nailed it:

You're right - it's not so much the size of the stream or fish, but being out on running water, away from everything else.
I'm looking at the posts above and realizing I misspelled Pit River - I guess college basketball is still sitting heavy on my mind...
We had an awesome time, caught a lot of nice fish, and the weather was perfect. The Pit is one of my favorite places in the world...always such a recharge to get up there and fish.
Have fun fishing this summer!

I've been married for 10 years. It hasn't been the easiet 10 years and there are times were the both of us just look at each other and thought "arrrgh". The greatest feeling in the world is when you first realize you love someone and that overwhelming feeling of just wanting to be with them and your day turns to crap if you do not see or talk to them. I love the feeling that chest is going to rip open from an overload of joy.
After 10 years, we do not get that feeling very much it seems between work, kids, bills, fights/arguments, life in general. We do not have days like this nearly enough (and for your info, enough for me would be every freakin day every minute). Today is one of those days. I almost played hooky from work just so we could be with each other today. I may still just blow this place off. It's only petfood and work will be there Monday. I want to be home with my wife and best friend. I'm sitting here at work almost on the verge of tears I miss her terribly and I've only been here for an hour and a half.
Sorry to get sappy and emotional. I just love feeling like this and wish I could feel like this more often, like when we first started dating.

We planted our stuff 2 weeks ago and so far so good. We planted beens and within 2 days already had sprouts coming up. We are going to have a major bummper crop of tasty delicious green beans. I'm hoping the tomotoes follow the beans lead.
We've been eating beans for about 2 weeks now. I wish I was smart enough to post a pic :-/

I'm heading to Nashville later this month for Mix Nashville. Hopefully I'll make learn some sweet stuff, meet some sweet people, and get a good entry level job in live sound (or in a studio, I'm not overly picky right now). I'm not thrilled about spending a bunch of money but I'll make it worth it. Now I just need to get a bunch of business cards and cd portfolios printed.

So, I've given my notice to my current employer, and my last day of work here will be the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. I do like my company, and have several things I want to wrap up for them properly before I leave, but there are really no incentives or penalties for me getting things done anymore, so I am CRUISING!!! That, plus they're not giving me any new work, becuase they know I won't be around to complete the projects!
That being said, y'all will probably see me on here quite a bit in the next few weeks between 8AM and 5PM ;D

I've seen raccoons crawling in and out of storm drains in parts of San Francisco, early in the morning...pesky little fuckers, but also VERY adaptable! We (humans) developed their habitat into residential neighborhoods, so they took their shit underground!
And I've got my own current joy...we found an apartment to rent in Sacramento...twice as big for half the price! Really cool place, a full floor of this 1920s house-converted-apartment. Lots of dark wood, detailed custom millwork and built-in cabinetry, gorgeous decco light fixtures, fire place, basement, awesome front porch. It's supposed to be a temporary place while we look for a house to buy, but I have a feeling we'll be in no hurry to leave! I already am thinking about building a bar for the dining room! Plus, we can both walk to work!
That's awesome Bill.
I can't contain myself!

COOL! I'm glad you found a show to go to while you're here! Bottom Of The Hill is a GREAT CLUB - small, good sound, outdoor patio. It's also about 4 or 5 blocks from the Anchor Steam brewery, which you can tour (and drink at). The brewery tour and drinking does require a reservation, but it's really worth it, and you'll drink muchas cervezas.
my best friends coming home TONIGHT after four long long long months! now i just have to wait.....

It's getting better all the time!!!! :D
Walter posted that he graduated but I guess it got lost in the move. Congratulations Capt!!! Have you decided what you're going to do next?
Scotch
I haven't smoked in 6 days. I was really productive outside today, yard work, washed car, had lunch on the back-patio with my wife (mashed potatoes w/hot sauce and chicken legs). The weather was beautiful and I just enjoyed breathing, and the sky, and music, and still being alive.
I can really tell I quit smoking when I first wake up and take that very first conscious breath, it feels better every day.
Good deal B. [smiley=beer.gif]
Listening to my favorite album (astral weeks) drinking a beer and my favorite baseball team (cincinnati reds, go redlegs) are getting ready to take the field. The best part is nobody else is around. Life does not suck.
QuoteI haven't smoked in 6 days. I was really productive outside today, yard work, washed car, had lunch on the back-patio with my wife (mashed potatoes w/hot sauce and chicken legs). The weather was beautiful and I just enjoyed breathing, and the sky, and music, and still being alive.
I can really tell I quit smoking when I first wake up and take that very first conscious breath, it feels better every day.
and so each day you don't smoke moves you closer to the days which you don't miss smoking; and when I say don't miss smoking, I mean the days you don't have to remind yourself
not to smoke. (now what smiley do I use here?) hhmmmmmmmmmm [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
QuoteWalter posted that he graduated but I guess it got lost in the move. Congratulations Capt!!! Have you decided what you're going to do next?
ha, all my posts from that night are gone. (i did drink those two beers) i wasn't going to say anything about it, but thanks for remembering. i did graduate, and i don't have a clue what i'm going to do. the only plan is i'm going to work two jobs this summer, save money, and move. not much of a plan.
Thanks MJ and Tracy!
It's really getting easier everyday.

Currently gut busting filled with steak, stuffing, and mashed taters (and salad too to be healthy). Goodness I need a nap. Steak lunch f'n rulz!
In my job, sales people and manufacturers reps often come and take us out to wine and dine us. Last night, one of them took a group from my office Go-Kart racing at an indoor track. DAMN, that is SO MUCH FUN! The cars aren't super fast, probably only top out at 40 MPH or so, but you are only like 4 inches above the ground, and the carts have sticky, slick tires, so you just fly around corners and you FEEL like you're haulin' ass.
I'm pretty much short timin' at work these days (my last day is this Friday), so I'm already schemin' on how I can break out of here this afternoon to go back to the track to race!

Free wifi at the hotel. Yeah
The other day the young hispanic children next door to me were playing "run from the police". They started our riding their bikes down the block a little ways, then one of them would yell, "Run! Its the Police!" and they would ride to the back of their house, (I missed what happened next), then they came running into the side yard and ended up sprawled out on the grass.
Now every time I see them I think of this and start laughing.

I live in Gulf Breeze (former UFO capital of the world :-/). It's just east of Pensacola. So, Pensacola Beach, to answer your question. I have a lot of friends in town so I just left there less than 5 hours ago. I'm drinking some coffee, trying to shake out the cobwebs and I'm about to do it all over again.
Fresh Watermelon and fresh, sweet, not tasting like fucking styrofoam tomatoes fresh from my garden. We have 60 plants, all with fruits on them. I may have to open a stand in front of my house as we are going to get to the point that we will not be able to keep up. As it is now, my wife and I eat about 4 a day.
Going to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the local cinema tonight! I haven't seen it in a while and never in an actual theater. The closest I've come is in a college cafeteria. It should be a whole lot of fun! Plus they have totally redone the theaters here so I'm excited to see those too. They used to be really run down and the owner's unwillingness to put any money into it ran the place into the ground.
i just came back from a 2 day camping trip. i've never camped. i've never hiked.
it's not my "thing".
but i went with 3 friends who love that shit, and did four miles up and four miles down.

Oh hell yeah, the Blue Angels are great. They do Fleet Week in San Francisco every year. The whole northern part of the city would be out on rooftops watching the show. Some of their paterns bring them right over the city...at our last apartment we were on a hill, and they'd fly not more than 200 feet above us as they were turning back toward the main stage over the Bay. That shit is exhilarating.

Funny you should mention good weather. A terrible storm came in out of nowhere and caught everyone off guard. Total chaos. A woman got picked off by a rogue umbrella about 50 yards from me. ;D I only joke because according to the paper no one was seriously injured but it did get pretty hairy for a couple of hours. I can't believe someone was recording at the right time but I found the rogue umbrella on youtube. This woman got nailed.

It's weird being older than a Disney star for the first time. 8-)
YES YES. THe Flaming Lips movie, Christmas On Mars is finally getting released. Should be on DVD with a CD of the music in October.
Had my friends Dustin and Marie over for supper tonight. They're both incredible people and make an absolute perfect couple. I've spent many hours at their place and had many delicious meals there so I returned the favour tonight with red bean and rice burritos (with hummus, soy cheese, salsa and lettuce, of course) as well as barbecued turnips, potatoes, parsnips and onions. They brought key lime pie for dessert and then we drank too much homemade wine and cheap beer. I love nights like these.
Tomorrow I'm seeing the Sadies, and I can't wait for that. Cross your fingers that my car makes the drive.

Nice. I still have not got around to adding to my Sadies collection. (I only have Favourite Colours.) Where should I go next? New Seasons?
i got a job, finally. starting in september, but that's alright with me.

I was listening to Evil Urges all night long, last night.
Three days off work... Time for well earned sleep.
Well, my wife and I learned our lesson earlier this year - it's best to wait a bit before telling EVERYONE that we're having a baby. Didn't work out so well last time...but, well, my wife is pregnant again! She's about 14 weeks along, just starting her second trimester. We've had two ultrasounds, and the heart is beating, that fetus is shakin' and movin' around in there. The doctor has said that everything is going as well as can be expected.

Awesome. Get ready for you life to change in a million ways - all good at the end of the day. We had an ultrasound lady down here that could tell us the sex at 12 weeks. You finding out? You should let the forum name the little rascal(s). My nominations: Boy - Abraham Harold; Girl - Brett Favre.

Sweet. Great news bbill! I'm so happy for you. How exciting! Your going to love being a dad. I think MMJ fans make the best parents. ;)

Thanks everyone. Yeah, we're going to find out the sex, but that scan isn't for about 6 weeks. Lets hear those name recommendations!

I wanted to name my second daughter "Maggie Tara" but my wife wouldn't let me.
BARTELBY!!!!
Congrats! Leon is my name pick.
THat's awesome Bill.
I like Jenny's pick of Bartelby if it's a boy.
Currently it's the fact that the boy has a little girlfriend. She hasn't been in the same class as him in like 3 years and she still comes by to see him and just hang out. I don't know if I'm ready for what is to come say in about 2 years but they are adorable now. He has good tastes; freckles and red hair. He certainly takes after me....
EDIT: the gf brought an older girl friend to play with them. oh dear. I ain't ready for this. I don't want to have THAT talk yet. My wife has already had to go upstairs once and make sure the door was open. arrrrgh :o
It's just beginning baby! I thought nothing of the fact that as my son was in the shower this summer his gurl felt free to go in and put on her makeup while he was in and then help him get dressed in his room after.
that talk is so unnecessary, we know it all. all i'm sayin' is that dinner with dad the last night was nothing but awkward. i mean, i get the whole responsibility thing, but PUH-LEASE, dad, don't use those words!
Yes that talk will be sooooo awkward. Thankfully I never got it from my dad.
I learned the same way many from my time did, 2 Live Crew :-[

Girl names that I love: Althea, Sadie, Adelaide & Siobhan (however, such a celtic name is bound to cause pronunciation problems)
Boy names: I just truly love the name Jack
Congrats!
I think I have to go with bowl of soup on this one, girl - Brett Favre.
i'm definitely naming my next pet bartelby. that name is not going to waste.

That's actually the song that was running through my head.... :-[
Congrats to you and yours, bbill! Amazing news!
Congrats bbbbbill!
My current joy is winding down a hectic week with a delicious glass of red wine gearing up for the Regina Folk Festival which starts tomorrow.
Thanks everyone...I think (with my wife's blessing, though I'm sure she'll go for it) we'll name the baby Bartelby. It'll go really well with our unfortunate last name, Bill. Bartelby Bill...that actually sounds pretty cool! That's the thing about having the last name Bill - you have to correct people ALL THE TIME (especially as a guy. ESPECIALLY if your first name is Braden). There are some pretty cool name combinations that go with it though.
Actually, we already have a short list of names, though we're not telling anyone till the baby is here.

It's alright, I think it's great :) With a name like mine, you develop pretty thick skin at an early age ;D
I just can't get Arcata out of my head as a name since I saw it on one of my IPA's. A little unconventional albeit, but I think it sounds like a strong man's name. Congrat's bbill, there is nothing like being a proud father! :)
bbill, soon you'll get the joys and stresses that Dave, Matt, and I have to live with. I wouldn't trade it for anything. They can be giant pains in the ass sometimes but when they look up at ya and tell you they love you, nothing else matters.

(Cue "The Autumn Wind")
The Raiders came out of their preseason opener lookin' pretty good! Their offensive line is improved, and the running game looks solid! The triple attack of Justin Fargas, Darren McFadden, and Michael Bush is going to roll this year! I really like their running options, the different styles. Defensive secondary looked improved from last season as well. Of course, all of this WAS against the 49ers...
PLUS, yesterday I got tickets for the Chiefs game on Nov. 30th. The Coliseum is a little further away these days, so this will probably be my only game of the season, but it's and a hated AFC West rival, and should be a winnable game at home. Can't wait!

totally kicked butt on a job interview today :)
I've pretty much found a place to live in Saskatoon! I'm hoping to move before winter and a friend's roommate is moving out in the next month or so. Rent is a little steep, but the location is incredible - one block off of one of my favourite streets in Canada. Now to get on the job hunt. I figure I can handle a full-time soul-destroyer as long as I have an evening or two working a 'hobby' job.

I am currently in contact with someone in the front office to play the National Anthem on electric guitar before a Phillies home game next year!

WOW! That's really cool...throw a recording up here after the game.
Well, this will be the first weekend in a month that I won't have to go into work, AT ALL! I've got 3 things that I have planned this weekend:
1) Go to the river tomorrow to lay in the sun and read.
2) Go to the River Cats (A's AAA team here in Sac) game tomorrow night.
3) Watch mucho Olympicos!!!
Oh, and SLEEP!!!
My drive to the Pageant to by my ticket for Kings of Leon. Anyone familiar with St Louis will understand this. Skinker Blvd from Clayton to Delmar is probably my favorite part of the city. The fantastic houses, great looking apartment highrises over looking the Park, the great weather, Forest Park, and ummm coeds running and bike riding in the said great weather along said Blvd. Gigiddy Gigiddy.
Off to my doubleheader in softball. Great weather and at least an hour between games. Prime drinking time.

Good luck on the road test! I did well on mine except for some bullshit about an acceleration lane. I'd never heard of such thing but he assured me that I didn't use it.
thanks! i hear from friends that they pay off the cop (hence the $80 extra) and we drive around a corner and stop at a stop sign and that's the extent of the test...
sounds good to me, i'm down with trial and error...

man, there is nothing better than pulling off a primo parallel parking job; and I'm not talking about on some lazy, quiet back street. I'm talking downtown urban center, with mad traffic, and you have 1 shot, and you pull it off.
then, there's the horror of
not pulling it off...

please understand that was only meant in as much fun as possible.and understand that i'm a 17 year old anxious to overcome that stage of maturation - having the freedom to do for myself (to some extent). if you knew how openly neurotic i really was, never mind how sensitive i am, you would understand how i truly meant that as nothing more than a "joke", or some kind of sarcasm. maybe it wasn't in as good fun as i had hoped... i guess that doesn't make it "funny", it may only make me look even more naive than you probably thought i was, but so it goes.
i do apologize since it was particularly insolent, and i do see the truth in your response.
anyway, i've been driving for two years, i just never got around to taking any courses. it's about time.
Sarcasm doesn't translate well in writing amongst strangers on a forum, so I take things literally sometimes. Sorry about that.
Good luck on the test! Don't worry if you don't do well. You can take the test as many times as you want. Also, driving is over-rated anyway for many reasons. I realize that it's a form of freedom for young people and also a status symbol.
I'm thinking of getting rid of my car for environmental, health and practical reasons.
I wont even have a car to drive regularly, nevermind do i even really NEED to - i have public transportation just around both corners.
i think it's more just about obtaining it so i can have the option if i need it. my parents want me to have it for when i leave in case of emergency and blah blah blah. i wont even be insured.
it's really pointless, now that i'm thinking about it...
ah, whatever. no good for the environment anyway.
At least you'll have photo ID, although I believe your legal drinking age is 21? But just think, if you go on a road-trip to Quebec (I recommend Montreal and Quebec City, or Hull across from Ottawa), the legal age is 18 and if you plan on visiting any other part of Canada in the near future, the legal drinking age is 19!
Right - the photo ID aspect is huge too. i've not had any ID ever...
I think i'm going to montreal next summer actually.. hmm...

I have never been to the Casa myself....but a very good friend of mine goes there somewhat regularly. I hear that they play MMJ on a very consistent basis. Got to love it! I hope the day got better after the tasty margarita. I just got back from a well deserved (which = long wait) for sushi and sake at Yoko's [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif].

Another joy is that I got VERY lucky with no damage to my house or yard and I never lost power. Lizking and a few of my other friends still don't have any power and they still have to go to work.

Well, after 3-1/2 months at a sweatshop, mistake of a job, I gave my 2 week notice today. I already have a new job lined up, one I'm positive will be a much more comfortable and balanced place to be. :)

No moved required (thankfully). I'll probably even be able to still ride my bike to work on nice days!
Yeah, these past several months have been horrible...pretty consistent 55-70 hour weeks, many weekends gone. Some people can do it, I don't want to though. Plus, I just want to set myself up for a more balanced life with my family :)
It seems like an all around better job, and I feel so damn relieved.

I hate every aspect of my profession. It poisons my soul. But I make my kids lunch every morning, see them at lunch almost every day, and my commute is about 5 minutes so even on late days we get to hang out for about 2 or 3 hours at night before bed (I teach them Pixies songs). When my poisoned soul compels me to seek another calling (every day) - I think of that.

Well thank the lord you didn't skip the Berkeley show for that deadline then right! ;)
Soup, that's what I'm talkin' about. I really place a high priority on my free time, and definitely want to be available to my children (gettin' a little ahead of myself...the first one isn't even here yet ;D). On a side note, I just got a text message at lunch from a friend of mine. He said he quit his job (as an attorney), bought a van, and is in Yosemite rock climbing ;D
And BH, you're damn right I'm glad I didn't miss the show! I still felt uneasy on the drive down to Berkeley because I knew I still had a shitload of work left, but that show was literally cleansing - it washed away months of stress.

I bought a skateboard today. I haven't had one in probably 5 years and the only reason I had that one was because we found it in a sewer in Alaska, no joke. I've been hesitant to spend the money but decided that if I don't do it soon, I'll run out of time to skate. Plus I've been looking for something else to do that doesn't involve sitting in my bedroom on my computer because thats gotten really old. I imagine I'm going to end up with all sorts of abrasions but it'll be fun.

Yo!
Just planted cauliflower, brussel sprouts,and cauliflower this weekend
yuck! veggies! just joking. Planting season's done in KY, unless you're planting grass or greens. I'm bringing two truckloads of compost over to my place in a couple weeks and double digging it in. Should be backbreaking work but my plants will thank me next year. I'm also going to establish a new garden bed on my side yard this week and try to build raised veggie beds out back by next spring. we'll see how it goes.

The leaves are starting to change colour. It doesn't get any prettier for me than Ontario in the fall.

I LOVE gardening too. I love teaching but I so want to move to Oregon and be an organic farmer!
I have a rainbarrell I made myself. I bought an empty 55 galloon bucket from the local organic gardening store, cut the top off and replaced it with some landscape cloth with rocks on top. I'm thinking about making another one. the price is right compared to the ones they sell for hundreds of dollars.
I also have a few small compost piles but with fall leaves falling I think I'm going to make a new, larger one soon.
My neighborhood unfortunately has nothing but clay subsoil, no topsoil so I've been amending the soil for a year now in preparation for next year. My gardens currently look like a whole lot of nothing, but this time next year they should be rocking it.
What's your set-up like? I remember you put in a greenhouse. how's it working? is it difficult regulate temps/humidity?
I think I've finally found a place in Saskatoon! Been looking to make the move for a couple of months and things are finally starting to come together.

Hope to meet some more of you at future shows.

And yes, Winthrop Gold is a BEAST of a course.

Nice. What's the course like that you play? Open? Wooded?
it used to be pretty wooded but then we had the two great ice storms the last couple of years and they had to chop down a bunch of them and still to this day they are having to remove some its only a par three so its nothing special there is another par 3 across town with pine trees everywhere ive lost so many discs in that bastard

Thanks! The second day soreness has set in, which is slightly worse than yesterday but overall, i feel great. I think we need to all plan to run one together in Jacket-united-ness. I hit a wall at mile 20 or so and then I ended up meeting up w/my dad at mile 24 (who was struggling) and we ran in together. Oh and yes, I definitely have enjoyed carbo loading. I'm going to miss it:-(
Not a bad plan, and I could definitely use the motivation!! The Marathon du Medoc in France would be cool: you dress in costume, drink wine and eat oysters at every mile...I kid about doing this one; but seriously, I'd consider a Jacket Marathon fo shoo!! Springtime in ????

and I'm hiiiiiiiiiigh....on vodka right now. Seriously, you wouldn't want a lite flame near me.
I don't know if you are my hero or if I am afraid for you....
I didn't sit too well at first. I needed a break, kids are home from school, and I'm maxed out on paid time off and loving time. Sadly that has been a problem for me for about 5 years. I wish they would let me sell my time back or bank it in Sabbatical. Honestly, I do not need 5 weeks vacation.
Shopping with the kids today and Dim Sum for lunch. Cannot wait!
after having the "coffee run!" epiphany in the "current complaints" thread am now much enjoying this chocolate-cherry-espresso confection.
not too sweet, extra shot of the good stuff!

I love lazy Sundays like this!
It has suddenly turned cold here (I was still in a T-shirt 2 says ago!) We've got the heating on for the first time this Autumn & I just discovered the beautiful music of Peter Bruntnell. All the tracks here are great but check out the excellent Little Lorelei:
http://www.myspace.com/peterbruntnell
From his website:
"One of England's best kept musical secrets" Rolling Stone
...To return to Rolling Stone, he may be one of this country's best kept secrets but if you ask the likes of Kurt Wagner, Peter Buck, Mark Eitzel (Bruntnell supports American Music Club on a UK tour in September), Jay Farrar or Kathleen Edwards they'll all agree that he's a writer of many qualities.
Juno is on tv. What a great movie. :)
Star Wars marathon tonight (depending on time, i'd like to try to get 1-3 in)! I got the new box sets, I've held out on getting the DVD's since I knew this would happen. I'm no Angry Ewok, but Star Wars was a favorite as a youth.
Got my Big Day Out tickets today. January is going to be sweet! 8-)
We had a potluck for a friend of mine who is being deployed to Afghanistan in December. So I got to hang out with friends, some of whom I rarely get to see. I was a little nervous about how it would turn out, but it ended up being a great day!

Remember that this is Current Joys ;)
I was Simon Stimson in Our Town, and at the end of my final rant I hurled my flask offstage (this is not in the script, and not one person knew that I was about to do it). It made a huge noise, and nearly broke the flask. Sounds strange, but if you were there, it made a lot more sense.
QuoteGot a new kitten! she's a cutie!
hey:
gimme.
QuoteGot a new kitten! she's a cutie!
Aaaawwwww! :)
Running with my theme I started in Current Complaints, I have some great news about my band but I feel I need to throw in a little bit of back story.
When we started our band, we were heavily influenced by two local bands called Anah Aevia and Bestiary. Anytime anyone asked us what we sounded like, we'd tell them to check out those two bands. Unfortunately, both of those bands stopped doing shows about the time our band got together but we've always talked about playing a show with them. It's always been a huge goal for us, maybe our biggest goal.
On December 30th, its going to happen! We're going to be playing with Anah Aevia and Dagon at a place I've always wanted to play at. Dagon was formed by 3 of the guys in Bestiary and they have said that they are going to try to bring up their old vocalist and do a couple Bestiary songs. I about pooped myself when I heard about it, let alone to be asked to be apart of it. Woo!
Nice, getinthevan! That sounds like a straight-up blast!
As for me, I'm digging people. Gotta find 'em when others stop bein' around, I 'spose. But it makes all the world of difference. Old friends can be beautiful when they're still the people that made you want to be friends with them int he first place. If only I didn't live so far from all of them!
Nashville, here I come!
Speaking of which, and old acquaintance of mine is so jazzed about me coming back that he sent me an email finding out when I'd be coming so that he could make sure and figure out a way to get me to be able to room with him in his house right near Lipscomb. You know you've picked the right town when people from all different corners get this jazzed about your return. That's the kind of place I want to be. So I will be!

Not sure yet but I should know in the next couple weeks.
Nice. Keep me posted. I'd love to swing by and have a beer with you sometime when I'm in town/when I get myself up there!
Definitely!
Today's joy: I'm working on making a big diagram on foam board for our upcoming shows that illustrates how to properly create a circle pit. Hopefully it will help some of these kids out who have absolutely no idea. Last local show I went to, the band called for a circle pit and I ended up looking like an ass just running in circles by myself with people watching.
Hahaha, nice!
My current joy is being able to fix shit. Seriously, I think it's one of those benchmarks of manliness when you can sit down and diagnose a problem and fix it. I'd like to get to this point with my Jeep, because I could easily make the thing last another 8 or 10 years with that kind of knowledge. My computers been acting up on me so I went and diagnosed it, found the install disc and corrected the problem and things run smoothly again. Something to be said for fixing stuff with your own two hands. Brings about that warm "yeah, I did that" feeling.

My new office is having a potluck today. Actually, it's a warm-up for Thanksgiving, sort of a stomach stretching exercise if you will. And it's an all day thing...I just had biscuits and gravy, eggs and fruit for breakfast. Lunch we have honey baked ham, fried chicken, potatoes, posole (my offering), and a bunch of sides and salads to choose from. I'm goin' back for more biscuits and gravy now...

I Loooove B & G. I used to go to cracker barrel and get them every saturday, all you can eat, until they closed it down. My mom makes the best. She uses my great grandmothers recipe. I could drink the gravy all day long, or until I have chest pains.
Quoteposole (my offering)
AHEM. ;)
QuoteQuoteposole (my offering)
AHEM. ;)
;D You're right! OK, since I made this last night, I think I can do it from memory...here goes.
- 1/2 stick of butter (kinda a lot, but it just makes the broth taste better ::))
- 1 white onion, diced
- 5-8 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2-2.5 lb boneless pork shoulder, fat trimmed, cubed into small, 0.75 inch (or so) pieces.
- 1-2 dried chipotle chilis, seeds removed, finely minced, totalling about 1 tablespoon
- About 1 tsp. oregano
- About 1 tsp. chili powder (I've also used seeded and diced pequin peppers, but only use like 2-4, because even though these are small, they are HOT. Definitely remove the seeds. Chili powder is a safe way to control the heat)
- About 1 tsp. of cumin
- Salt to taste
- 12 cups water (I've used chicken broth to cheat the taste too, and it's pretty damn good...I prefer using broth actually).
- 2, 29 oz. cans of hominy
Alright, first melt the butter in a big pot. Then cook the onion and garlic until soft, like 5 minutes. Then put in the pork and brown it, around 10 minutes. Then add the chilis and spices, and mix it all up. Then add the water or broth, bring to a boil, and then simmer for at least two hours, though 3 is better. Add water if liquid gets low. Add hominy about an hour into the simmer. Serve garnished with any or all of the following: chopped cabbage, sliced raddish, diced onion, cilantro, cheese, tortilla pieces...
That's about it! Finally, eh' VC?!?! ::)

My sort of new band, (I've been making music with these guys for years) is recording right now. It's definitely a new experience writing parts as we record. We should be finishing drums for the 6th song tonight. Then we have less than a month to record guitar, bass, and vocals, a lot of which are written but not really practiced. I love doing things like this.
i'm so excited!
from http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=mustache :
mustache
1585, from Fr. moustache, from It. mostaccio, from Medieval Gk. moustakion, dim. of Doric mystax (gen. mystakos) "upper lip, mustache," related to mastax "jaws, mouth," lit. "that with which one chews," from PIE base *mnto- "mouth" (see mouth). Borrowed earlier (1551) as mostacchi, from the It. word or its Sp. derivative mostacho. The plural form of this, mustachios, lingers in English. Dutch slang has a useful noun, de befborstel, to refer to the mustache specifically as a tool for stimulating the clitoris; probably from beffen "to stimulate the clitoris with the tongue."

Feeling pret-ty damn good about dropping 25 pounds and 3 inches in the waist over the course of the last month and a half. Looking good again!
Anyone have any good tips for daily exercise that can be done within the confines of an apartment that'll keep the body relatively toned up? Sit-ups, pushups, smoking, etc? I never bothered to learn too much about what these all keep in tone (besides the obvious), but I've been thinking about dropping a little cash on a doorframe pullup bar, too.

I'M ALIVE!!! Here's a taste of what has happened in my week of internet exile...
I survived my move to Saskatoon and am settling in nicely. Found a job yesterday at an independent coffee shop with two locations in the city, can't wait to start. The staff is comprised of gents who look like they could be in any number of my favourite bands and ladies who look like they frequent bookstores far too much. Heaven! I've got a pretty killer basement suite with great young couple as landlords. No internet connection as of yet, though.
Helping out one of my landlord's father tonight - he's pretty much the coolest gent I've ever met...And he's promised to introduce me to his 21 year old daughter when she's home from abroad, so I'm trying to get in tight you see. ;D Checking out The Sadies tonight and rumour has it that their father's band - the excellent Good Brothers - will be making a special appearance. I'm crazy excited.
Now, how are you? :)
I am doing GREAT Kaley! Looks like things are picking up quite well for you young man. Good things come to good people....... :)

My band finally has artwork for the EP we recorded! It'll actually just be on the CD, but its still artwork! It gives me a sense of completion, we started recording it in February 2007, it wasn't finished until July 2008. I'm really happy about this right now. Too bad I have to go to bed...

Freaking incredible. Is that a heart?
7.5 hours til work, then another 8 hours until I roll my way on up toward Nashvegas! Can't wait to see this on the horizon:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/eiseyrokker/DSC02001.jpg)
Well, I probably won't first glimpse it from the top of Belmont's parking garage, but that's a bit of a formality!
Yes, it's a heart.
I love driving south down 65. You drive over a hill and suddenly Nashville is right there in all its glory.
I really dig driving up on it from the East on 24 merging onto 65 South. You come around this big mess of highway and then it's all "Hey, Skyline! Bye, Skyline!" and then you're on Wedgewood and driving just past Grimey's and the Exxon at the intersection at 8th and you're home. It's just home. That's what it feels like. That little strip of road right there.
Glad the move went ok for you Kaley. Sounds like things are going great.

It's really good to see old friends and find out that nothing has changed between one another. :) I'm not sure which is more dangerous/fun: the fact that we were taking Dr. Pepper shots and shooting our 9MMs at some cans in the country, or the drive to Dodge's Chicken store after taking the shots.
Started my new job today - slinging coffee - and it's so rad. Everyone I worked with today was either a fox, or super cool, some were both! Even 95% of the customers were great. First time in my life I've ever got tips. Free coffee-based beverages while working, so I'm tending quite the caffeine high - probably drank $20 worth in various concoctions. It was also the first time in my life I've been able to walk to work! So psyched about that.

Just played a FANTASTIC benefit show for someone we know who has a very serious case of leukemia and our band made and then donated about $70 to the family. So not only do I feel good about the show, I feel good about being able to help some people out who really need it right now.

It was also the first time in my life I've been able to walk to work! So psyched about that.

New move, new job, happiness! Oh to be young again... ;)
QuoteQuoteJust played a FANTASTIC benefit show for someone we know who has a very serious case of leukemia and our band made and then donated about $70 to the family. So not only do I feel good about the show, I feel good about being able to help some people out who really need it right now.
That's awesome for raising the money. :)
I don't know what the final total was, but before the show had even started they had more than covered their expenses so I think it did fairly well.
Friday night was the first time in almost 4 years that I drank enough alcohol to get drunk. It was the tasty beers(Blue Moon{Almost too sweet} and Sam Adams Winter Ale) that kept me coming back. This was strange because it was beer that drove me away from drinking in the first place. Hmm? Either way, it was fun. :)

Sounds like a plan. But first I got to win the thing. My first move will be to score more than 48 points during the playoffs. ;)

Happy marriage! Hells yeah!
As far as my current joys, I have a damn moustache and have gotten all sorts of compliments on it so far. Which is pretty damn encouraging. Not to mention, I feel like a stallion with this thing cantering elegantly across my upper lip.
Not only this, but I'm crushing pretty hard on girls in three different states. Maybe that should be more frustrating than exciting. But seriously, I thought being single was supposed to be a bit scarier than this. I'm having a pretty good time with it! It'll get old when none of it goes anywhere, but this leads me to my next joy...
A week from Sunday, my good friend Caroline is coming down from SC to visit for a few days. I've been intrigued by her since Sophomore year of high school. I'm a senior in college now? We've reconnected and have been phone calling a whole lot lately. I don't know anything about anything, and she's a little hung up on a different, non-moustachioed fellow from Uruguay who just sort of broke her heart at the moment, so hmmm... I don't know where any of this is going, except that she is beautiful, plays flute, violin, guitar, has this beautiful folky aspect to her singing voice, and has this mane of beautiful brown hair and these gorgeous icy blue eyes... Man alive.
Haha, I'm so screwed.
I know this girl who almost apparently married this dude from brazil
Ive tried multiple times to get that 1st down, but I always gotta punt. She moved not too long ago to Colorado.
Fuck those hispanic dudes...theyre ruining our chances!! ;D

Totally fixed up a 12x12 den for myself in the basement! Good bye Little Tikes car bed. ;) So far I have a phonograph, mini-fridge, TV, CD/IPOD player,space heater, 2 Lazy Boys, GD, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Egypt flags on the wall. Hoosier obligatory poster of THEE James Dean, and some MIZZOU stuff as well. Also drawings of crazylove and myself that were done 25 years ago by a street artist in NY. I may lose track of the seasons.......

Thats sounds like my garage, substitute the flags for mmj and harley posters and the James Dean for Humphrey Bogart. Every man needs a man room to get away once in awhile. I need to get heater for my garage now that it's 2 fuckin degrees outside.

It would appear we cannot. At least Pat Quinn seems alright, hopefully he'll be in there real soon.
I was very happy to read this......
It also appears that Obama friend Valerie Jarrett, an incoming senior White House adviser, is the person referred to repeatedly in court documents as "Candidate 1." That individual is described as a female who is "an adviser to the president-elect" and as the person Obama wanted appointed to the Senate seat. Court papers say that "Candidate 1" eventually removed "herself" from consideration for the Senate seat.
In a Nov. 11 phone conversation with an aide, Blagojevich talked at length about "Candidate 1" and said he knew that Obama wanted her for the open seat but "they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. (Expletive) them."
One day later, Jarrett, a Chicago businesswoman who is one of three co-chairmen of Obama's transition team and was a high-level adviser to his presidential campaign, made it known that she was not interested in the seat. And, on Nov. 15, Obama announced that Jarrett would be a senior White House adviser and assistant for intergovernmental relations.

People have always hassled me for picking up change off the ground.
Well now it's my turn to laugh.
Every couple years I roll up all the change from my change jar and cash it in. This time around I've rolled up $41 and I'm just starting dimes and haven't gotten to the pennies. I'm guessing I'll end up in the $60 range, not counting the $20 or so in dollar coins that mysteriously appeared in my change jar.
Not too shabby! Especially for someone who is rather broke right now!

#1: Anyone who scoffs at someone saving change is either a douche or a rich douche
#2: Unless youve been picking up coinage from the ground for 59 years, I highly doubt that 41$ came from just roadside change...especially bc homeless ppl are all over that shit!!
Finally penned a poem for the paper I was supposed to have written at 5pm yesterday! Still need a title for it. I'll post it if anyone's interested, but it's supposed be my imitation of Wallace Stevens' style.

No, it's not all from the ground. Though I've found you can come up with several dollars at the end of a rowdy concert if you walk around near the front rail.
Anytime I'm in my room and remember I have change, I put it in the jar.

Plus, "maybe weed"? What's the big decision? However, I would not recommend the weed two hours prior to the dinner. Ugly things may happen.

The Pot-Aquiring did not go as planned, so Weed is off of the menu. I didn't think it'd be so hard to find a little green in my post-college era. Maybe I'm growing up too fast...
Still, the champagne was just popped and the Turkey is basting. BASTING!!!!

People stop being cool post-college. Postpone post college. Everyone just gets drunk and medicated; usually at the same time. Then they start hitting each other. Then they come see me. That makes them sadder and they drink some more, fight some more, and pay me double.
A massive, weed-filled feast should be on everyone's monthly to-do list.

Haha, nice specs, Jens.
As for me, went to bed freakin early last night, then woke up rested at 5am. Couldn't get back to sleep so I just went ahead and got up, cooked up a whole can of Hormel Corned Beef Hash and two eggs over easy, and had at it. Accidentally finished the plate. There's a good reason a man should only keep one can of that business in the pantry at any given time.
Now that I'm fully gorged on the most delicious of atrocities, it's time to finish that dang paper.

So Jenny, I have this younger brother who's a senior this year, kinda shy... Into MMJ and everything. So if you ever come Southward ways, I'll hook the two of you up for free ;).. No biggie ;D
Tomorrow night we're watching The Grinch and drinking when they say "Who". Then we're going sledding. I'm anticipating Sunday being a little rough. Not so much from the drinking but from the sledding. I've never mixed the two but I suspect it will with me breaking one or both of my thumbs (just the week I'm having).
after 14 weeks, i think i am starting to understand the tax code--specifically like kind exchanges and interest deductions. I hope i can retain it all for the exam on tues (then i plan on hiring an accountant and never having to deal w/complicated tax issues ever again)
sled riding sounds so fun--wish i didn't live in the city--(that's more for the complaint thread) :(

The last time I went sledding after heavy drinking was also the first time I saw stars. Like in the cartoons. I never thought that actually happened when you hit your head real hard. It does.

It's a Steely Dan Day, Charlie Brown.
QuoteQuoteTomorrow night we're watching The Grinch and drinking when they say "Who". Then we're going sledding. I'm anticipating Sunday being a little rough. Not so much from the drinking but from the sledding. I've never mixed the two but I suspect it will with me breaking one or both of my thumbs (just the week I'm having).

Ha, I didn't see this post before just now and ironically, I did hit my head so hard that I saw stars. It wasn't a cool fall or anything, just me being drunk and trying to defy gravity. Details are in Current Complaints.
But yeah, drunk sledding. Awesome!

Quoteyou go in the pantheon with my weird left handed friends ;D
I'm right-handed though. :-? My mom is a leftie.
tomorrow evening marks the end of eight days work in a row. as soon as i'm finished my shift i'm immediately hitting one of the many pubs on the street and getting the largest meal my tips from the day can buy (potentially LARGE!) and a litre of wine or pitcher of beer. can't wait.
also a friend is in town visiting on friday and my landlords have invited me upstairs to the party they're hosting.
[smiley=thumbup.gif]
i find otu if i get into college before christmas eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Snow day tomorrow! Damn! Ive had "Hot/Smog Days" in Cali, but these snow days are so much better!!! Where's my firewood & Makers.... ;)
Two hour delay turned into a day out of school which is good because our field trip to see "A Christmas Carol" would have been canceled and even my little Angels would have been little demons... ;)
Ahh snow days. So jealous. I love snow days, wood fires, and Makers. TEO, when is the boy coming home? Are you picking him up? We need to have some beers.
We're getting pizza delivered here at the building for our lunch.
I am so hungry that my plastic blue paper clips are starting to look like candy. This should be a complaint, but is not as I know my growing hunger with be satisfied by a slice of extra cheese.
Also, tonight marks the end of the semester and begins two weeks of office parties, friend parties, family get togethers, Christmas and ending with My Morning Jacket on New Year's Eve. Right now it's hard to process all that joy.
However, run into me tonight at about 6:15 before my class presentation and you'll probably encounter someone who resembles a wounded grizzly bear.
thanks for all the kind words, guys. after doing the math, i realized it's actually MORE than a 10k raise!
AWESOME!

Two hour delay today! :) They are talking ice storm this evening so we may get out tomorrow, the last day before a two week break. SWEET... :D

My wife and I went to another ultrasound on Monday. We're at 33 weeks - this is pretty late in the pregnancy to be having one, so we were able to see our son pretty well formed and ready to go! It was amazing! We saw his little nose and mouth, and his hands. It was just wonderful...and if we weren't anxious as can be before, we DEFINITELY are now...and we still have 7 weeks until our due date!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Oh, hey Tom, you'll be glad to know that I'm growing my beard out! I'm at about a week and a half now...it's just starting to look respectable, and it's itchy as hell. I haven't grown it out for several years, but it's definitely beard weather these days. I'll try and get a progress pic up this weekend...dude, there should be a bearded emoticon!

Ah, that's perfectly fair. Didn't even think about this being the internet. Well, open internet. We've all sort of made it our own corner of the web here.
As per the beard, though--post away!
congrats on your snow days, all!
it's crispy cool here today. i just drove a golf cart around the studio lot to get a mocha up at the commissary. the whole time i was singing "I GO BLIND EVERY NIGHT, JUST BECAUSE I DOOOOO!"

Careful with the shirt. I ordered large and mine arrived just large enough to fit a 14 year old Chinese kid addicted to video games. Thankfully my 10 YO loves the FLips and wears is all the time now.
Oh man, I went for medium. Is it American Apparel?
I can't remember. It was really small though. Made me sad as its a sweet shirt. The boy, long hair and all, is the hippest kid in his middle school.
i find out if i get into bard tomorrow, god willing, though i hope this weather hasn't delayed the mail. cross your fingers, please!

In the town where my mom lives they can't sell alcohol in gas stations because it supposedly promotes drunk driving. Meanwhile, nearly every liquor store in town has a drive-thru window. But it's the Bible belt so logic is lost on most of those people.
It was 6 degrees and we had a foot of snow when we left Michigan on Saturday. During the 4 days we were in Nashville, Michigan got another 2 feet of snow. When we left Nashville it was 57 degrees. Aside from the 550 mile drive, I can't wait to get back there.
I also got to bust out the skateboard for the first time in a couple months. I was so excited!
tonight i received the single best email sent my way - from my best friend who went abroad the day i moved. we've had so many great times together and they all came flooding back reading his words.
GetInTheVan, I can't wait to come up to Nashville and hang with you!
I've got a ridiculous "date" tomorrow with the girl from the craigslist ad I posted. She's 29 and has nobody down here, too, so we're hittin' up some Chinese, I think. Should be ridiculous. Seems like a cool person. Probably building some birdhouses tomorrow, too. Hell yes. It'll be a good Christmas.
There is a HUGE wrapped box waiting for me in the living room... :)
what was in it...
A 4X3 electric fireplace with mantle and side storage for my new den! It looks GREAT and makes it seem so much homier. Plus, Jake and I have not put anything together for quite a while so that shared experience in and of itself was a gift... :)

I love reading what you write about your son...I can tell you're a great Dad, Matt...you rule man!
i think i made out pretty well this christmas. got everything i wanted. a nice set of pot and pans, electric skillet, and a new winter jacket!! it was almost like i was 6 again!!
received the most amazing christmas present - a container containing my late grandfather's journals. he passed in 91 and i only have a few memories (all of them incredible) of him. indescribable.
With the exception of one part, I finished recording bass for our EP today. One stupid part that I couldn't get because apparently sweep picking on a bass without a pick at 200 bpm was too much for me to handle today. But I'm really happy with how it's turning out, especially since I've been learning/writing parts as we went along. I'm really, really excited about being able to start mixing soon.

I am at my brother's house for a sleep-over with my nieces (5 & 2). I taught the youngest how to draw on herself with washable markers and showed the eldest the joys of silly youtube videos (sneezing panda for one). They're waking me up in the A.M. to make pancakes, but right now Old School is on T.V. It's the part where they gather up all the pledges in the black van. Hysterical.
I am one happy Aunt right now.
Just walked (half-stumbled) home from the bar where I had a great time conversing with old and new friends for a couple hours.
Pretty sure the cat mantra is, "Hey, I don't recognize that [insert any object that is not normally where cat considers laying down, especially if it's paper(s)]...I think I'll lay on it." That shouldn't make me quite so happy.
Also, I get to do some driving today! Heading to Nashville for a spped trip to visit my dad for two days, then flying out of Nashville to visit mom and stepdad in Chicago for two days, then flying back so I can drive back to Athens on Thursday. It's going to be quick, but hey! it's getting to see my family over the holidays!
Hittin the road to Nashvegas! Won't be there long enough to get to meet you GetInTheVan, but we shall make this come true sometime soon!
Also, just found the first two whites of a future greying beard on my chin!

My friend who is in the Air Force surprised us and came home for the week. Our band was practicing and he just showed up. It was pretty cool. He said he couldn't miss the biggest show of the year (2 local legends are reuniting and playing a one off show together) nor this year's New Years Eve party. Regardless of the occasion, I'm glad to see him.
Tomorrow evening is looking to potentially be one of the most memorable nights of my life.
Sounds like some great excitement!
I'm currently sitting in the Nashville airport, on my way to see my mom and stepdad in Chicago. It's so peaceful in here this time of day.

Just put a Breedlove Revival DR on layaway at my local guitar shop. The thing is absolutely incredible, one of those "The guitar finds you" moments last weekend and I knew I'd be a fool to let this one go. Absolutely beautiful instrument. Didn't know a finger-picked dreadnought could sound like this, but it's perfect. Solidly built, absolutely chimey in all the right ways without being too bright due to the Indian Rosewood back and sides. The top on this one has an incredible amount of depth of grain for a spruce top, too. Not to mention the electronics on it are top of the line LR Baggs, too. Really discretely placed, too, right inside the soundhole. Good Lord, I'm gushing.
I can't wait to get the other 3/4 of the price tag paid off and get it home and record it for you guys. It's a beautiful instrument and well worth its price tag.
Here's a page with a bunch of good pictures of one if anyone's interested, though my rosewood's grain is a bit different.

Homemade Monkey Bread for a special day. I'm gonna have a smile on my face, and a full belly, all day from this.

I made it to Nashville. Currently no internet so I'm forced to go enjoy a bagel at Panera so I can hit the interwebs. I'll probably have to keep up this routine for another month or two, depending on the work/school situation.

Look at the bright side, at least you get some tasty delicious baked goods to nosh on while surfin. Go for the Cobblestone, it's breathtaking.
Also check out Fido in Hillsboro Village for some good free wifi. I do believe Qdoba has some free wifi along with their incredible burritos, as well.

I'm currently enjoying chicken noodle soup in a bread bowl. I dig it.
gotta get the chicken ceaser sandwich and the potato soup mmmmmm

Hard to beat their signature burritos....They always hit the spot. Chicken Queso burrito is my shiznit.
I thought the 1 burrito I got from a Moe's Southwest grill was pretty good too (not to mention even bigger, plus free tortilla chips), but the rice seemed a little old to me.
Qdoba is just as good as any legit mexican restaurant, at least as far as burritos go IMO
qdoba is the shit but i think chipotle has them beat
Quoteqdoba is the shit but i think chipotle has them beat
Heard good things about chipotle but never been there yet
QuoteQuoteqdoba is the shit but i think chipotle has them beat

I do greatly enjoy the shredded pork and rice bowl they have. I do enjoy Chipolte also. We used to have a local burrito place here in St Louis called Tomatillo's but closed and Chipoltle is the closest to it. Damn trixy liquer laws.
All this food talk is making me incredibly hungry. Knock it off. :)

There's nothing more obnoxious than a fake animal that tries to pass itself off as an authentic member of the animal world. Puffins are maybe the biggest offenders when it comes to this, even going so far as to pretend to take pictures with humans and hang out in places like Iceland where no normal person can confirm that they were really there. (Like Iceland is a real place, anyway. "Björk" is from there!) Take a look at this clearly computer generated motherfucker above. Of course, he tries to blend into the scenery by standing by a rock in some grass, but do you see it? The only shadow is from the rock. IF YOU'RE SO REAL, PUFFIN, WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING SHADOW. Busted, Puffin. Now go back to living inside a fucking 8-year-old girl's head.
Y'all need to meet my friend, Jenn. I swear, I think she's ghostwriting that f*ckyoupenguin blog. So spot on.

Obviously, Moose, you don't have a mirror to practice your smile, because you seriously look like a total vagina right now. You are very lucky moose do not have to go to school, since you would get your ass kicked, like, every day. And what kind of wild animal smiles at a camera? You are supposed to be a badass that roams the forest beating up other moose and cars that look at you funny, not Cindy fucking Crawford. Man up, Moose.

By the way...I found this blog via VSL. It's a daily newsletter that sends out links to (sometimes) great stuff. Usually it's a new album or a book or random links like the penguin blog.

Cat napping with an actual cat curled up on the lap is quite a wonderful experience. Also, so is Salinger's Franny and Zooey.
Also also, tomorrow is the second to last time I'll be able to say "First day of the semester tomorrow." Couldn't be happier. The other side of college is so close I can taste it. Bring on the sawdust, world!

That's awesome. I heard a rumor that they would come to Pittsburgh and its true!
My cat sitting on me, purring contently, and radiating enough heat to cook with. Very relaxing......
Also my former boss sent me a nice thank you gift for '08. A sweet (expensive) backpack which had some stuff in it, including an ipod shuffle. Now my wife has her own ipod.
I haven't worn a coat since I got to Nashville. A couple times I probably should have though.
Moving from a relatively small town to a large city has resulted in a bit of a culture shock, but I'm adapting to it. Even though I've only been here 11 days, and there's a lot of things I need to do (like find people to hang out with), I really like it here.
my heart just skipped a few beats:
See Leonard Cohen and his tour band at this very special concert in New York on February 19. He will play especially for his fans and US media. Later - in April 2009 - his World Tour will continue in the USA and Western Canada.
oh man, if this happens. :D

I'm transferring off third shift! Granted I'll be moving to the 5:45pm-9pm shift, but after almost 3 years of 2:30am-8am, I'll take it! Words cannot fully express the joy I feel at the prospect of being able to sleep at night again! ;D

i was making a point to remember but i've forgotten by now. :( it was sweet and peanuty and so delicious. not chicken, for i'm boring (read: vegetarian). i'll be going back soon, so i'll let you know for sure. i also only ordered it medium spicy and it was an inferno, but the good kind. i like that.

The fact that I am so very close to done with college and I am never going to miss staying up all night working on a paper.
On Wednesday I went and saw Anthony Raneri, Matt Pryor, and Dustin Kensrue. Chris Connelly played too but I'm trying to forget that ever happened. It was an awesome, awesome show.
Tomorrow is my last day working third shift. After nearly 3 years, it's time.
Monday, I start working evenings and then I'm going to see Soilwork.
Tuesday, I have an interview at the Sommet Center to be a Conversions Crewman. I'm confident that it will go well.
I've been away from home for a month and I'm not dead, nor am I starving. That has to mean something, right?

Bbill, congrats on you and your wife's upcoming arrival. We have two wonderful boys, 7 and 3, and I can honestly say there is no better major life-changing moment than when we became parents. Do you have some good tunes lined up for the delivery? That is, if momma wants tunes. :)

The jerk off from Saves The Day. I don't like his voice, his lyrics or the rhythm in which he delivers them. He said he was taking requests then refused over half the ones people asked for.
Thanks wharf rat! Well, Candles and Panties is in the labor room music collection. No Dead though...hadn't thought about including them to tell you the truth, she's not that into them, and the music is really for her. Other than that, some Van Morrison (Veedon Fleece), different classical pieces, a mix of low key dub and reggae, and several ambient albums.
Hey bbill is this your first? I shared that same wonderful joy with my wife almost 16 years ago watching my beautiful daughter being born. What an amazing miracle to witness.
Kids put it all in perspective, keep you on your toes and make you believe in goodness in the world again when all seems lost.
Enjoy him all your days!
I finally got the big OK. Tax refund should be here in roughly 2 weeks. Yeah not having anything complicated and E-filing rules. This will be in my house shortly after the money comes in (like the next day).

The 265 lbs of freshly butchered pork in my deep freezer. 1" thick chops, fresh bacon, prok steaks, sausages, prok roasts, tenderloin, ribs. Pork is a beautiful thing.
Only 1 finger cut this time around.

Cherry cola (not diet), cherry preserves, copious amount of chili sauce, onions, garlic, pomegranate balsamic vinegar and hot sauce. Super good. :)

I was kidding around talking about Tom Jones in another thread, which reminded me that I hadn't checked his website for a couple of weeks to see if he's in Vegas this summer.
Just checked & he's playing the MGM Grand (the hotel I'm staying at) the whole time I'm there!!!

Hi Face... !!
you should save your money and go to Bunker Hill Community College and then you could have a cool psychology teacher like Robin Williams in
Good Will Hunting, then date a janitor who works at MIT who happens to be wicked smart!

Quotedid my brown interview, and i think it went pretty well.
Not sure what your are going to major in/looking to do, or what you major interests are, outside of MMJ of course, but 1 of the best decisions Ive made in my life so far was choosing to go to Penn State over Cornell.
Id do the same thing a million times over if I had to choose again. Just my $0.02 cents

I always think to myself, wow, I'm glad I went to MU instead of "X" but who knows where I would be if I would have chosen a different school. That is certainly a fork in the road, you know. I might be living a completely different life because of that one little decision.
QuoteI finally got the big OK. Tax refund should be here in roughly 2 weeks. Yeah not having anything complicated and E-filing rules. This will be in my house shortly after the money comes in (like the next day).

I've actually slightly changed plans. Going with the model without the Bigsby. I went to Guitar Center and played the actual model for an hour. Hopefully now one wants it after I drooled all over it. They had 1 and it was the red/black sunburst. Tax refund is in the checking account. Hoepfully I can go...say tomorrow?!?!

Well in my case, I feel like I wouldve had to work much harder in school, not had as much fun, and think that Cornell wouldve had a lot less people who are more laidback like myself. Also, PSU cost me about 1/3 as much Cornell wouldve.
Seeing how im not even 2 years removed from graduation and going into a totally different profession now, Im even happier with that decision.
That, and I cant imagine going through college football seasons and not having a decent team to root for ;D

read my first reply. I just said for me, Im glad I chose not to go to an Ive League school and went to PSU instead.
and my decision at the time had nothing to do with tuition/money, but I saved a great deal by going the route I did, and Ive read a few times since graduating that for most professions, the Ivy league name and pricetag isnt really worth it as much anymore. But again, some professions that isnt the case.
man, i'm just tryin' to do my thing, just sayin' my interview went well and that that i was pretty happy it went that way...
never said i had my heart set on brown or the fact that it's an ivy league -- if you knew anything about me, which i don't expect you to, you'd realize that i am not one for ultra-competition or going to a school because it is "That" school. i've also applied to hampshire (where they don't give grades) and bard (a small liberal arts school) among others that are pretty opposite of what is classically considered "top notch schools"
and - as of now - plan on getting a degree in special education, art education or just elementary educaiton in general - something i can do in four years at brown (and horace mann went there).
so i mean, that's nice that you didn't go to cornell. but i mean, i wouldn't go to cornell in 10,000 years. i'm not applying to brown because it is an ivy league, but rather because it's a school where i can get a great education and avoid the competition and craziness of the stereotypical ivy league...
brown is a very different kind of ivy league, it's liberal policy being just one reason, and yes, i'd like to go there.
but not for the name.
i don't really like to be misrepresented, especially when it comes to education.
thanks.
Ouch! mental note... Don't mention anything about Jenny's school choice. ;)

Like I said, just giving my 2 cents
Bought some 38's yesterday and am fitting into them quite comfortably today!
Working on our Bonnaroo costumes all weekend. El wire, soldering and glue gun work has never been so fun!
Sharing mixes & talking music with my good man Ward (Chills/Sergio)
One of the many people I miss here (Rats, Doc, EC, Brian, Mr T etc) this place isn't the same without these good people...
I got an iPhone a few days ago. Not only am I enjoying having Internet access again, I like having a phone that works properly again.
I picked up a second job as a conversion crewman at the Sommet Center. It's overnight manual labor but I'm enjoying it so far. Between that and my 2nd shift job at FedEx I don't have much time to go to shows, and that bums me out but it's also helping me save money.

Yeah, but more importantly Jenny, did you see the Puppy Bowl?!?! It was on two Sundays ago, ya know, the Super one. I guess it's an annual thing that the Animal Planet cable channel does on Super Bowl Sunday, where they just put a bunch of puppies in a mini arena with chew toys and little balls and let them romp around while the cameras roll. It was great. There was also the Kitty Halftime Show!!! Anyway, I thought about you when I watched it, but haven't had a chance to ask you if you'd seen it...been kind of busy :)
Things are going really well in the bbill house. babybill is doing wonderfully, eating really well and sleeping a ton. We're pretty damn tired, but we just love him so much, and it's just the greatest thing to hold your infant child. God I love him :) :) :) Thanks again to everyone and their responses!!! :) :) :)
Oh yeah, one more thing for Jenny...did you end up applying to Reed?
I'm going home for a few days come Thursday. It's been three months since I've last seen a few too many people I care about. Can't wait.
QuoteOuch! mental note... Don't mention anything about Jenny's school choice. ;)
Don't you think that she's making a big mistake? I mean Brown? Do they teach trades at Brown? Get a good trade, that's my advice. :D
Just ran the dog in a T-shirt... :)
Just dropped a couple classes to lighten up the workload and feeling so much better about it. I can get some sleep on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and that'll help out with being able to do more work at Borders, as well as just having time to breathe and not have to do anything. Delays graduation a semester, so I'm sure I'll have to pay that final semester out of pocket to satisfy the parents, but I'm happy to do that if it means I can keep my head above water in all regards on my way to getting the degree done.
Also joyous, show tonight. If anyone here is in Athens, we're playing Tasty World at 10pm sharp.

GWAR is coming to Nashville in May! Woo! Hopefully I won't have to work both jobs that night...
QuoteTE - how went the show ?
the gig went pretty well! we sounded
great on stage, but apparently our monitors did not match the house sound. we won't be playing Tasty World too much in the near future, as the booking agent has decided to run house sound, which means amateur sound and not necessarily good sound for us. I love playing in this band, though. Got into it enough to realize I was bleeding in three places on my right hand by the end of the night. Even broke a string with the flesh on the side of my thumb. "If it ain't bleedin', they aren't feelin' it" is my new motto. On a sad side note, the lean has been overruled for live shows until we play on stages big enough to warrant it. I suppose it's fair, but I'm all up for a sweaty, raucous live show. (Loud, grimy side project, anyone? :D )

This (the black and red sunburst) is sitting on my guitar stand in the music room right now, polished, in tune, and sounding as soooooo fucking nice. I'm beyond happy right now. Fingers hurt, wallet is lighter, my head is ringing, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Not that old but just as clunky. It's a 96 Chevy S10. Gray with a few spots of rust. My wife and I had been sharing a car for 2 years and I decided it was time to get that old truck I've always wanted.
There's no heat and the AC comes out where the heat should but I got it for a grand out the door. I busted out my old cassettes, which has been fun and nostalgic.
I drove around and picked up some UCGs ad OPBLs. wait, wrong forum...

he bought the truck at an auto auction, and i remember that the truck's previous owners had affixed red dice on the tops of the door locks (inside the truck). i always wondered why they were there, and i asked pawpaw about it once, and he just laughed. makes me smile thinking about it.

My grandfather had an old beat up Ford pickup that he used to let us stand up in the back of as we drove between his house and the farm, provided we didn't tell our mother.
btw, I LOVE my truck. Today was my first day driving it to work and it was great. I told my kids about it in the morning and they were just as enamored by it as I am. I told them it was kind of junky and they were like "I think it's awesome, Mr. Greenwood"! Kids and trucks, it doesn't get much better than that.
It's been really cold and gloomy here for the past two weeks.
But the sun came out this afternoon in full force. :)

My grandfather had a truck in my middle/high school years that was a 90 ish dodge ram. I remember you could sit four comfortably in the bench seat and it had a huge RAM as a hood ornament.
When I was a little kid, he had a camoflauge van. He was in the military so hence the paint colors. I remmeber it had benches in the back with and he had these leapord print cushions in there. When he got rid of the van, we used them at our house to lay around on, or make forts in the basement.
great memories...

BANANA PUDDIN FLAVOR?!?! ANNIVERSARY CAKE?!?!?! Dammit it, they need to sell this cream from heaven here. I thought St Louis was "south". Actually Russell Stovers near here (45 minutes) sells Blue Bell. Not a place I can easily run to.

going to work accidentally tripping off my ass on Dayquil thinking it would help with my sinus stuff. It helped out my sinuses. And with reality. I spent three hours behind the register and it felt like twenty minutes. Realized at one point that I wasn't really lookign at people too much, so I made the effort and realize everything was going Waking Life on me. Sweet Jesus.
Therawho?
This is only a current joy because it was not as terrifying as it should have been. I will certainly not condone tripping on cough medicines of any kind, but as an accidental reaction to the stuff, I'll be the first to admit that it was quite humorous. My coworkers were getting a kick out of it, at least. Especially when I got out from behind the register and got really intrigued with everything for a solid half hour before I had to leave. Lots of textures, and I think I was only half joking as I was rubbing my coworker's t-shirt remarking about its softness. Oh Lord, I've got some sweeping up to do tomorrow.
Remind me to eat something next time I resort to the Dayquil? Or maybe just to stay home?
;D
Great early morning story Tom!
Try to lay off the Tussin for a day or two and get some Zzzzzz's.Unfortunately I have no advice to get you out of rubbing on your co-worker. ;D
It's raining outside today, and I'm in bed drinking coffee and reading the new MOJO (Nick Cave cover story, awesome), with my 3 week old son sleeping next to me. He's just lovely. :)

They started joking about there actually being some X in this Dayquil, so I jokingly rubbed the shirt and turns out it was actually a lot more....texturous (?) than I was planning on?
I'll sort things out tonight...
How much Dayquil did you drink? I think Ive purposely tried to robotrip before, and it never happened. I know Ive at least drank half a bottle of Nyquil before and nothing happened.
I think its a myth. Have they done a Mythbusters on this yet?

Man, so here's my hypothesis.
I took some Nyquil the night before, totally exhausted on top of it. Went to bed around 5am, woke up for work at like 12:15 and took some Dayquil. All recommended doses, definitely not trying to induce a trip or anything.
Last night, I was feeling rather sinusoidal and figured it'd be a good idea to do get "hopped up on the quil" as I like to call it and just not do the Dayquil today. Same shit. I'm completely shit for brains right now, can't hardly focus on what's in front of me and a giant kicking headache to boot. I think the trick is probably in mixing the Nyquil and Dayquil, because I'm still pretty loopy, but not going all Waking Life today. I'm still gonna suck for customer service when I go into work in a half hour, but at least I'm not in a time warp this time. I'm throwing that shit
out.

Its not a myth. Haven't tried Nyquil but other brands have had me tripping balls. I think Robitussin works well, as long as it has DXM in it it should work. I think I drank a whole bottle once and puked several times until it kicked in. I don't do this anymore and wouldn't recommend it.
I've had a cold last few days and have been taking Nyquil and night as well.
BAHHAHAH I can sit up for more than an hour! :)
Last night at work I got to see the end of Motley Crue's set. It was way better than I expected and I got to hear 3 of the 5 Crue songs I like. I love working for an arena.

Its probably not good for you. My friend was getting worried up until the last time I puked and I just started tripping all of a sudden.
Ha! One of my roommates and I had been going over to the parking ramp by our apartment on his rollerblades and my skateboard and riding around on it. Today we saw that they built a big fence keeping anyone from going in through the parking lot next to it. I guess that's the end of our harmless fun.
waking up from the right kinds of beautiful dreams...

After the past 7 days, my next paycheck is going to be AWESOME. After the first 3 weeks of next month, I'll get a couple paychecks that are REALLY AWESOME. I'm not particularly looking forward to working my fingers to the bone and literally doing nothing but sleeping and working, but the money will be nice to have.

Many, many a time have I been here during that lull.
I just got a $100 Visa check card in the mail because I found my apartment on rent.com. I figured it was bullshit and never expected to hear anything else about it.
I may be going back to Michigan for a long weekend in April. There's a big family thing I'd like to go to and coincidently, some friends of mine are having a big CD release party the same weekend. Hopefully it works out.
My best friend is visiting in a few weeks.
Uncle Tupelo, especially on a nice day, makes me feel really good.
I really enjoy having so many things making me happy these days.
Hot damn, I'd be perfectly happy to fix things for a living. Just helped fixed our keyboardist's Wurlitzer electric piano, and even though I didn't need to do too much to it, knowing that I can open something up, look around and start figuring out what's going wrong is a beautiful thing. Maybe I could be a guitar repairman after all...

Can't wait. Have tons of yard work planned. I'm gonna work until I drop and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Its in the low 60's here in da Burgh
85 here in Stillville, OK. Speaking of yard work, I just finished putting in a french drain in my back/side yard, so I can't wait for a downpour to see it in action.
French Drain?
A French drain, drain tile, or land drain is a ditch covered with gravel or rock that redirects surface and ground water away from an area. A French drain can have hollow pipes along the bottom (see images) to quick vent water that seeps down through the upper gravel or rock. French drains are common drainage systems, primarily used to prevent ground and surface water from penetrating or damaging building foundations.

yeah, I went through all that BS a couple of years ago trying to divert water from a gutter downspout and then I said F it and bought 50 feet of 3 inch PVC, dug a 3 foot trench and buried the sucker; an American drain ;)

(and seriously, you wonder why you are single?)
ouch.
Really though, offering to continue the circulation of stolen pictures is pretty rude...I'm as big a fan of porn as the next guy, but if those are indeed stolen pictures, give the girl a break and don't pass them on.
tell that to Vanessa Hudgens.
Last time I checked, I didnt make this girl take her clothes off and snap shots into a mirror. I also didnt steal her camera.
and I dont wonder why im single T. I could only wish these pics were of your collegian daughter. Apparently Ole Miss is good for 1 thing at least :)

It doesn't really matter, and I didn't say you forced anyone to take their clothes off or stole a camera, but you are "offering to continue the circulation of stolen pictures", and this isn't the place for it, imo.

So saying you want to see pictures of my collegiate daughter naked (and I don't have a daughter) is an insult to me? Sweetie, you seem like the kind of guy who would drag his nuts across 50 miles of broken glass just to hear a woman piss in a tin cup over a pay phone.
OF COURSE you would want to see pictures of someone's naked daughter, you're a confessed sleazeball. I expect nothing but the worst from you anyway.
If you're trying to be "shocking" by stating the obvious, then, well, you might want to re-think that.

We talked about checking out a show sometime awhile back, but no one ever comes to Sixburgh, so....
so...go to the Serbian Club he frequents...? I would be there in a heartbeat if I could. That kid would make SURE TEO had a good time!
Serbian Club :-? ::) 8-)
what kind of club is this?? True, why have you not spoke of this club to me?
ha, its just a house converted into a bar basically. they don't even give you cards or check for membership. as you may know i live outside of Pittsburgh, near Greensburg. its a bit of a dive, but it can be fun if enough of our friends are there.
there's enough shows that come here to keep me entertained. some shows i plan to attend:
Dr. Dog
Buddy Guy (Greensburg)
Ray Lamontagne (Greensburg)
Phish
DMB possibly
Other shows in the burgh that I'd like to go to but I think I'm gonna pass:
Grace Potter
Andrew Bird
A.C. Newman
Kings Of Leon

Ill be at Phish as soon as the lot opens. I might go to Andrew Bird. None of the others though.
It just seems like 6-7 years ago a lot more good shows were coming thru the Burgh, especially at IC Light Amphitheater
QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteGod I love the internet. My buddy just forwarded an email to me of pics from some Ole Miss sorority girl's camera that she lost at a party. Yowza.
If there are any other sleazeballs here, feel free to PM me your email address and Ill forward it to you. Lets just say the pics are NSFW
It aint eazy being sleazy 8-)
I thought you were going to say you loved the internet b/c you can find any sort of porn and type of woman and size and fetish clothed and unclothed and and and etc....etc....etc....
As if the billions of sexual images on the internet are not enough. You're willing to pass on someone's private photgraphs for whoever wants to see them. I think sleazeball is an appropriate term.
(and seriously, you wonder why you are single?)
ouch.
Really though, offering to continue the circulation of stolen pictures is pretty rude...I'm as big a fan of porn as the next guy, but if those are indeed stolen pictures, give the girl a break and don't pass them on.
tell that to Vanessa Hudgens.
Last time I checked, I didnt make this girl take her clothes off and snap shots into a mirror. I also didnt steal her camera.
and I dont wonder why im single T. I could only wish these pics were of your collegian daughter. Apparently Ole Miss is good for 1 thing at least :)
So saying you want to see pictures of my collegiate daughter naked (and I don't have a daughter) is an insult to me? Sweetie, you seem like the kind of guy who would drag his nuts across 50 miles of broken glass just to hear a woman piss in a tin cup over a pay phone.
OF COURSE you would want to see pictures of someone's naked daughter, you're a confessed sleazeball. I expect nothing but the worst from you anyway.
If you're trying to be "shocking" by stating the obvious, then, well, you might want to re-think that.
I just kind of thought, you know, most fathers wouldnt want naked pics of their daughter in someone else's possession. So yes, if you had a daughter, that would be nice. I have no idea how thats an insult like you said.
Sorry to disappoint, but Im not in desperation when it comes to poon.
And I dont think wanting to see naked of pics of women makes me a sleazeball, it makes me a guy. Same with the 5 other people who have PM'd me for the pics ;D
Go have a cup of this and lighten up

QuoteWho is Vanessa Hudgens? :-?
It doesn't really matter, and I didn't say you forced anyone to take their clothes off or stole a camera, but you are "offering to continue the circulation of stolen pictures", and this isn't the place for it, imo.
Shes the main girl in that High School Musical stuff Disney does. A year or so ago she sent naked pics of herself over her phone, and somehow they got leaked all over the internet.

seriously, try to show more class (if you can). Using the MMJ web site to pass off naked pictures of college girls from a stolen camera isn't cool at all. That's not how we roll here (much less all the other degrading things you say about women and old people etc...).
Try to rise up to our level, we're not coming down to yours. Step up.

Im not
using the MMJ site for anything. I posted my current joy, and said if anyone wanted to share in my current joy, they can let me know. And since some people here have partaken, I guess more roll that way here than you think.
So I say all kinds of degrading things about women and old people...really?...
really? I said the 1 thing in the Valentine's Day thread that was a joke more than anything and youve brought it up since then again, not me, so if you dont want to see it on here why not just ignore it and let it be (like you could have done with my post in here). I cant think of anything bad about old people Ive said offhand, but if I have, it hasnt been often. To have this coming from you of all people is kind of funny actually.
I havent seen any ladies of the board have a problem with my posts or are offended with any of my talk about women, and you seem to be the only person on the entire board who generally does have a problem with some of my posts.
I'd actually be surprised if more people here had a problem with or were offended by more of my posts than yours.
;D

How do either of those things absolve you of passing private photos around? It's a shoddy thing to do, regardless of how many PM requests you get.

You're using the MMJ forum to advertise the fact that you have some girl's private photos that were stolen from her camera? & you're passing them around via PM?! Where's your moral compass?!
You make me sick.

This is going way down the wrong road, how about we just don't offer any more pic's of ole miss girls on this web site and end it here. We'll be doing everyone a favor. ;)

I honestly didnt really give much thought to my post or think it would create such a hubbub. I was looking at my email, see some pics of an attractive girl, and my wanger tells me its a good idea to let other people see these pics because shes good looking and if someone else was in my situation, Id want to see the pics.
Sorry to offend the people that I did, but I was just trying to pass along a little enjoyment.
I take it back. DO NOT go to the Serbian Club to meet True...

QuoteQuote...well there's this girl... :)
That's great Tom!!! Did you just meet her?
nahhhh...I've known her for a couple years. We met at Belmont, almost dated but I just don't think it was the right time, and we kind of went different ways. She transferred out of Belmont the next semester, and then I moved down here to UGA the semester following that, with a different girl in tow. This fall, different said girl was
not in tow (many, MANY lessons learned from her, though) and I saw this lovely person I had not talked to in far too long, and saw her on the ol' reliable (Facebook chat...) and figured "well, why not?" and there were some definite hints of sparks. Some months later, we've now made our way to staying up past 6am most nights talking on the interline (we live about 4 hours apart), which is maybe not the most romantic thing in the world (definitely not the healthiest!), but it's at least an appropriate speed for the moment. Sharing music (which she makes, and beautifully. if you haven't seen me trying to show the entire world her newest song, go to the A Song Currently Blowing Your Mind thread...) and good conversation and all sorts of wonderful things. I sincerely dig this girl. Sincerely. Nothing official by any means, but definitely a distinct interest on (I'm pretty damn certain) both ends here, and that's all the reassurance I need.
Quite. The. Happy. Very much so.
Good to hear stuff like that, hope it's working out.

44 + 44 = 88
88 + 88 = 176
176 + 176 = over 1 year!
thanks, guys! the first few days were really rough, but it's getting easier as each day goes by. i finally decided that although smoking helped to calm my easily agitated nerves, it wasn't worth the damage i was doing to my body.
i mean, i make a living by talking on the radio. i don't want to eff that up for the occasional camel light.
I wish I could quit smoking... I don't think I have the will power.. Plus, I like it too much I think..

Good for you Meg! I know you can do it! I smoked for a long time and it helped me (I thought) to calm down. You will be able to find healthier alternative methods of doing that. Keep up the good work. :)

Yes the boy's version. The fact that I was eating delicious crepes was good, then the boys get played on the stereo makes it even better, then my wife leans in and says "I really like this version." "Who is this? This is great. Better then Elton's." YES! Finally she appreciates the beauty that is the Jacket. 8-)

QuoteWell, my wife and I are heading to the title company this afternoon to sign our lives away...we're buying our first house!!!
Congrats, bbill! Now that you own the place, just beware of the to-do list that never dies. Seriously, we've owned two homes. When we sold the first, my list had about 5 times more things on it than when I started it! Knock off a thing or two, and it's about that time you have a few new ideas so you add 2 or 3 more things to the list. On and on it goes. It's fun to cross them off, but really, beware the list that never ends. :)
Happy b-day, megalicious!

I'm in the early stages of forming a new band. It's actually a stage that I've never fully experienced. Every band I've been in for the last 7 years have been with the same group of people, just switching out a couple members and going in a different direction than we had been.
The possibility of finally making music with a couple guys I've known for over 10 years, and have never jammed with, is very exciting to me. The big catch here is that I live in Nashville and they live in Michigan. It gives me something to look forward to after my lease is up though!
Sat next to a woman at the Neko Case show at 9:30 Club last night. She turned to me at one point and said "my husband and I are huge My Morning Jacket fans...have you ever heard of them?" ;D

Nice
So you live in DC then? I loved the 9:30 Club whenever I saw Ben Harper there and also John Butler Trio. Probably my favorite small indoor venue that Ive ever been to, partially because I was able to get like 10feet back and center both times thanks to the size.
I'm in Annapolis...quick drive.
I really like 9:30 Club, too. If you get there an hour before doors, you can get on the rail easily (well, for most shows...we had to get there SIX HOURS before doors for Nick Cave, but mainly because my friend is a PITA and he insisted we be first in line. Dork). I've recently discovered the upper balcony. Sound is much better than the rail, there are barstools and a bar where you can order food. So perfect for an old-timer like me. ;)Anyway, it's a great club and we get a lot of great artists.
I saw Ben Harper there about six or so years ago. It was close to a four-hour set. Fantastic.

I really like 9:30 Club, too. If you get there an hour before doors, you can get on the rail easily (well, for most shows...we had to get there SIX HOURS before doors for Nick Cave, but mainly because my friend is a PITA and he insisted we be first in line. Dork). I've recently discovered the upper balcony. Sound is much better than the rail, there are barstools and a bar where you can order food. So perfect for an old-timer like me. ;)Anyway, it's a great club and we get a lot of great artists.
I saw Ben Harper there about six or so years ago. It was close to a four-hour set. Fantastic.
I can def see how the sound would be better up there, but you can get so close I dont think I could let myself do that. Oh, Im sure its easy to get the rail if I was able to get that close getting there right before the doors open.
I wanna say it was like July/August 2004 when I saw BH&the IC's. Ive seen them 7 times now, and it was hands down the best show. I didnt really get into them before he had already expanded the band outside of the orginal 4 members. For this show, the original 4 played probably the first 4 or so songs just them. I remember they were all off the first few albums, but the only 1 I remember for sure was the opener, which is probably my favorite song by them, God Fearing Man. I couldnt believe it. Overall, it was a great setlist as well I remember, plenty of variety from all the albums.
If BH.net wasnt all changed and jazzed up currently for the upcoming album release, Id be able to check for the date/setlist, but they currently dont have that feature because of this >:(
Spent a wonderful Easter afternoon with the most beautiful girl, and I am still thoroughly astounded to find her as head over heels for me as I am for her. The fact that this only keeps growing is nothing but a joy in the complete sense of the word.
Most certainly hope things have been as wonderful for you and yours...

I found out yesterday how much paying college tuition helps on your taxes!!! :)
I must start with a confession: I was in three fantasy basketball leagues this year.
I won all three (regular season and post season)! :D
QuoteQuoteWell, my wife and I are heading to the title company this afternoon to sign our lives away...we're buying our first house!!!
Congrats, bbill! Now that you own the place, just beware of the to-do list that never dies. Seriously, we've owned two homes. When we sold the first, my list had about 5 times more things on it than when I started it! Knock off a thing or two, and it's about that time you have a few new ideas so you add 2 or 3 more things to the list. On and on it goes. It's fun to cross them off, but really, beware the list that never ends. :)

Knowing that my older son is not shy about getting up on stage in front of a theater full of folks he does not know. This is from a Jabali Afrika show, a group originating from Eastern Kenya that came to Athens as part of the Black Student Cultural Programming Board activities.

Its a presentation on pneumonia and specific bacteria that cause the illness for microbiology. I put it about 8 or so slides in and am going to preface it with what I said in my first post. I think Im also going to say "little does he know, not even a wall of numchucks, nightsticks, and knives is a match for pneumonia" once the slide is on screen/
Its easily the high point of my presentation ;D
My teacher is kind of strict, but she likes me a lot. Plus its only worth 30pts somehow, so this and the other humor cant hurt me too much

WTF is Koehler posting in the Joys section??!?!? I just got the "OK" from the wife to run in the Chicago Marathon. Since open registration is closed, I will running for a Charity. I found a nice teaching one that helps innercity and impoverished schools. I can relate. I f'n cannot wait. Running has been going good as I can bust out 5 miles still and I've only been back running for 1-1/2 weeks. On top of that, my long lost friend will be there cheering me on. She's cool like that.
Ok enough said, now I go back to my depressed, mid life crisisy self. :P

Arrrghhh
QuoteBard and The New School: Eugene Lang (Liberal Arts) --- and waitlisted at NYU Gallatin (wont tell me til as late as June 5th...)
Arrrghhh
If you got NYU, would that be your first choice? Is Reed out of the running?
Got waitlisted at Reed, and didn't feel like committing to the school when I'm not pumped about the plane ride that far out (plus $$$ etc). Just more waiting when all I want to do is graduate and go!
If I got into NYU, I'd go to the Gallatin School which is the school of Individualized majors --- for the most part, it's independent study with a few classes and an adviser. It seems really tough and stuff. While NYU is a great school and that would be an awesome opportunity, I feel like I could earn a liberal arts degree a lot easier elsewhere and be just as happy (and not so busy!). Plus, I got no idea what I want to study --- it could be anything from special education to semiotics to graphic design to teaching.
It's a hard decision to make, though. It would also be easier to transfer from there than it would from Lang or Bard... and it's also the most expensive school in the country.
So I would have to really think. I think since I remained on the waitlist, it's sort of assumed that I will go there if I get in. Hmm.

Dear God, the smell of lilacs is the best thing in spring. When I was younger I used to lay down beneath the lilacs we had in our garden and just smell them for a few hours. Damn, life was great back then
That is how it was last week with out Wisteria. Smells so damn good for about 2 weeks.
Apple blossoms and magnolias here. Love it.

Today, other then work which pretty much sucked sweaty donkey balls, was a great day. I'm on a 4 day weekend. I went to a great lunch with my best friends. mmmmmm goat cheese and roasted tomato crepe mmmmm. I had a really nice note from a long lost friend that I've been in touch with lately. Donations are coming in good for the charity I'm running for makes me think I'll hit my goal way sooner then I thought. Plus I started my day with Portishead and Morcheeba on the commute in. Plus this song.Makes.Me.Smile.
I think whatever issue I have been having is getting better. All I needed was time. It may get worse soon as there will be a "meeting" but time will tell on that on.

Tennyball game tonight! Or tennis-baseball if you wanna be a dick about it ;) Two hours until first pitch. You know tennyball right? You know, the game you played with your neighborhood friends when you were 6? Yeah, we still ball. But this time...I'm not going home when the streetlights turn on. Sorry mom, but I'm 25 so start treating me like an adult!

Real Tennyball would be baseball rules but not only the tennis ball, you use a tennis racket though, no?
That said, I did love the sweet feeling of aluminum contacting green felt 8-)
Tennis ball, yes. Tennis racket, no. Same rules pretty much. We play on a softball field. Home plate is usually from the pitchers rubber. No gloves, and pitchers hand rule apply. If the ball hits the infield dirt, the batter is out. Two foul balls and you're out. 4 on 4, but 3 on 3 works too.
It's pretty fun, but we all are over 25 with jobs. It keeps getting harder and harder to get a game in. So far my team is 3-1. 8-)
Interesting rules. Do you play if the baserunner gets pegged with the ball, theyre out?
You should

Follow up on tennyball. 2-0 last night against the rival. 1-1 after we switched the teams. Needless to say my bat was on fire. But I pulled my groin trying to make the play in right. I'm like Manny. Good stick, but let's be honest, we both are defensive liabilities. I also pimped a single like Manny. Thought it was out for sure. 8-)

YO face, CONGRATS!!! That's rad...
I've got a current joy, well, more like an extended joy from a wonderful day yesterday. We had our first legitmate bbq in our new house for Mothers Day, had family there, my sister and her kids who I don't see much. It was just such a perfect day, and we had such a nice time having fun in our new house and yard...the first time we've really had a chance to have a weekend not working in it and enjoy it with loved ones....it was sweet.

PISTOL The Life Of Pete Maravich by Mark Kriegel
you know when you run across a book that just CONSUMES you until it's finished...this is a dandy....checked it out at Jimmy B.Keel Library yesterday 8-)
I took Friday off. By Tuesday my co-workers were complaining that I wouldn't be there to get shit done.
;D
I just saw an awesome show (decent The Sword, great Machine Head (including a Hallowed be thy Name cover) and an excellent Metallica), the weekend is coming up, I'm going to see "The Rhinegold" and "THe Valkryrie" in the opera, which was very expensive, and next friday my parents are gone and my brother and I are going to throw a huge BBQ/Pool-Party, it's going to be legendary.
Life can be good.

Big bachelor party tomorrow. We'll be out at my cabin. Planning on playing the Beer Olympics. Bocce Ball, ladder golf, bean-bags, and beer pong. My buddy who's getting married works at the brewery, so getting a couple of kegs for under $25 a piece is nice! The grill will be out and about for sure. I'm the best man, so I'm trying to make sure everyone will have a good time. Drinking, playing lawn games, and grilling? I don't know that sounds like a good time to me? If I like it, everyone likes it!

Me and a few friends had the exact bachelor party a month ago. Except we were in Destin so we were on the beach instead of a cabin. Good times! Have fun.
After 1 full year of searching, I finally got a nice job offer today.
Cheers!

- Woody Allen > American Apparel.
I love lots of his movies, American Apparel were wrong to use his image without his permission & I'm pleased he got the result that he did but it's true what they (AA) said about him destroying his own image.
Anyway you look at it, his affair/marriage with Soon-Yi Previn was fucked up & nasty.
Not 100 degrees today :) only 85 8-)
I'm not one to toot my own horn or anything, but I will.
Last fall, I stopped smoking the ooo-wicky...for 2 months. Got active, and lost a bunch of weight. Also last fall I said I started back up again, and predicted I'd gain it all back. Yes, over the winter I gained a bunch of it back, but you can do that over a Minnesota winter. Anyways to my current joy, I'm under 200 pounds. Sure I'm still "over-weight", but I haven't been under 2bills since maybe 8th or 9th grade (10 years ago), and that was before puberty. The most I've ever weighed I believe was 290, in 11th grade. Before I started out I think I weighed 275 or something. Still trying for more, but I'm pretty proud of myself. I'll try to post some before and after pics, so you can believe me.

Good for you Walts, It's gotta be hard to do in the land of the Pasties. I love'em, kinda like a hot pocket but with tasty goodness inside. I always put on some pounds on in the winter and work it off doing yardwork in the spring. By the time summer rolls around I'm ready to stuff myself back into my speedo and shave my back and off I go to oak street beach ;)... I don't really own a speedo but my wife does shave my back. Thats true love when a women will shave your back.
If you stay active and stressed out it should help to keep off the poundage. And stop eating a box of Ho Ho's before bed when you get the muchies.

"Hang It Up"
May 2009People are on the phone all of the time. What are they talking about? If you listen in to their conversations, they are like: "um" and "uh" and "what's up?" and "lol". People do not say "lol" out loud yet, do they? That's terrible.
I saw a trailer hitch that was a replica of an anti-personnel Claymore Mine and for the next ten minutes (traffic) I just imagined how awesome that'd be.

DEFINITELY too young for where we were at on Saturday! ;D I did take him out to the big, lazy river that runs through Sacramento though, and wore him in our little papoose thingy and just cast from the bank...pretty low key, didn't catch anything, but he seemed to enjoy being out there, seeing the river and trees and stuff. I was all proud too, fishin' with my boy!!! :) He turns 4 months tomorrow!!!

Quotei hope the govnuh doesn't cut too much out there. sounds like it's a great place to live otherwise.
Unfortunately, he needs to cut A LOT...I'm ok with a lot of it too, and I'm ok with tax increases because CA finances are completely fucking FUCKED. I also think it's time we take a look at revising our initiative process, because I hate to say it, but it's partly the voters that got us into this mess...sometimes having all these BIG decisions available to an uninformed population in an election is NOT a good thing, and the voters have been manipulated year after year and voted us into a TON of debt. The consequences of these cuts could be scary...cutting complete welfare and healthcare programs, HUGE cuts to an already overburdened education system....
There are going to be some lean years out this way...and it could end up being a good thing if real change is made to how we budget and finance our state.

no, just SC being SBC.
Apparently, the stunt was staged and Paris Hilton was be the victim. M&M didn't show for rehearsal so it was switched to him being the victim and he had no clue he was getting Bruno'ed.

Remember when I said someone from work broke into my place...twice? Well, today at work I had enough of him. I saw him talking to people, laughing, and having a great time. It really upset me that people like this loser. I didn't tell anyone at work, because of what he stole, but today I fucking told EVERYONE. And now everyone hates him, and I feel great. 6 months of keeping that shit bottled up, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
When did weed become the drug that you'd brake into someones home for?

Im in the midst of one of the best 7+ days of my life so far.
EPIC Stanley Cup victory in game 7, and 3 Phish shows. Only sad note is 1 of my best friend's grandma's died a couple days ago, and her funeral is tomorrow. Talked to him tonight for the first time in about a week when he first told me she fell and had a brain hemorrhage. Im hoping I can cheer him up on Thursday and despite missing a couple other key friends from Phish tour 03 and 04, 1 of which i'll be going to Alpine with, make it feel like were 18 again with not a worry in the world.
I read youre going to The Creek though TEO. Im pretty jealous as I love that venue (more than Alpine and its wicked hill even though I have pavilion tickets ;D) and a couple of my favorite shows were from the 5 or so Ive seen at Deer Creek.
Arghh, Phish be Back!! :D
It is kinda' funny and puzzling why the out of staters call Verizon The Creek. Is there a reason for this? Maybe The Dead riot has immortalized that name?
QuoteIt is kinda' funny and puzzling why the out of staters call Verizon The Creek. Is there a reason for this? Maybe The Dead riot has immortalized that name?
Isnt it still called the Verizon Wireless Center @ Deer Creek?!
Even if not, I stick with the original name of venues, not the more recently bought company name. I still call Mansfield, MA, Great Woods, not the Comcast Center. I still call Pittsburgh (Burgettstown) Star Lake, not Post Gazette Pavilion, etc.

Haha, no. I live like 5 minutes from that place though. I work for a casino ( Mohegan Sun). I bartend there, and it really is a pretty great place to work, they are good to their employees. Basically all the perks of an under the table bartending job, and all the perks of a real job at the same time. I love it.

Really. Why ? Just curious. My friends use to own AK 47's. Never really understood the fascination. Is it a collectors thing or maybe the allure of an assault rifle. What can you hunt with a assault rifle besides people ? :-/

why couldnt you hunt deer with an assault rifle if you have a hunting license?

ummm, there were be some serious damage I would expect? Since I detest guns, I'm no expert. Plus I think you can only hunt with certain gauges/ammo for fear that missed shots are going to end up somewhere they shouldn't

I dont think assualt rifle cartridges are much bigger, if at all, than 306 rifle, which are a popular hunting rifle.
I think assualt rifles are considered more deadly because theyre an automatic weapon, not because theyre more damaging/destructive. I wouldnt be surprised if you couldnt hunt with them, but IMO that would be more because of a legality issue than assualt rifles being so much more deadly.
QuoteReally. Why ? Just curious. My friends use to own AK 47's. Never really understood the fascination. Is it a collectors thing or maybe the allure of an assault rifle.
For me it's a hobby. I'm a marksman, I love going to the range and plinking stuff. There's just something cool about putting a soda can out at a distance and seeing if you can hit it with the naked eye.
QuoteWhat can you hunt with a assault rifle besides people ? :-/
This is a great question. With a good, clean, rifle in the .223 caliber, you can kill a deer or boar at a reasonable range with a single shot. I stress that the rifle has to be good and clean - AK-47's are notoriously dirty, inaccurate, and sloppily manufactured. We've got one but it's just a novelty item (I've never even taken it to the range). The most important factor, though, is the hunter's responsibility. (I don't hunt, by the way)
QuoteI dont think assualt rifle cartridges are much bigger, if at all, than 306 rifle, which are a popular hunting rifle.
The assault rifle (.223) is actually much, much smaller than the standard hunting rifle (.30-06). My AR is relatively accurate up to 300 yards - my hunting rifle can penetrate 2 inches of concrete at 600 yards. Assault rifles may have the deadly sounding name, but your grandpa's bolt action hunting rifle is ten times more accurate and destructive.
QuoteI think assualt rifles are considered more deadly because theyre an automatic weapon, not because theyre more damaging/destructive. I wouldnt be surprised if you couldnt hunt with them, but IMO that would be more because of a legality issue than assualt rifles being so much more deadly.
Civilian assault rifles aren't more deadly than hunting rifles, they aren't fully automatic (unless illegally modified), and it is perfectly legal to hunt with them. There are a lot of misconceptions about "assault" rifles and I think a lot of it stems from the name.
Or should I have just said I'm getting ready for the zombies? :P

Finally met Penny and Reenie. Hung out with BH,Dog,Goose,Kory, and some gurl with a go-by of crazylove. Went to Dylan and Candace's for a short visit and garden tour on Sunday. It is nothing but my pleasure to be associated with these fine folks. They are generous,funny,smart,genuine,engaged and engaging. What more could a person ask for?

Got 11 of 12 miles in today. I worked way too hard yesterday painting and stuff and wore myself out so getting the 11 is good. I really had to push. We painted the living room and set it up differently and got new furniture (2 of 3 pieces are in now). Garden is out of control to the point that we cannot keep up. And St Louis remembered it's summer as it got hot again today after spending most of July in the 60s and 70's. The cool weather was nice, but I love my heat and humidity.
Oh and Tagalong Blizzards are phenomanal and that makes me very happy.
Life is pretty great right now.
University is taking a break at the moment, last year was quite successfull.
My girlfriend must be one of the most amazing person's I've ever met, and more surprisingly she seems to like me a lot too.
Aaaand, I'm going to canada tonight, which is something I#ve wanted to do for quite a while now and I'm finally getting to do it. Everything's planned out and I'm optimistic that it will work as intended.

damn those look TASTY
Listened to Okonokos on the way into work, VERY loud. It was gloomy and stormy looking out.
"You had me wooooooooooorried..." The sky ripped open and poured itself out at that precise moment in time. I damn near had to pull over from the sure fucking gloriousness that it was. It was like JJ and the heavens choreographed it. For me, it was an almost overwhelming spiritual moment. By the time the song ended and I picked up the pieces of my melted off face, the sun came out and greated me with the sax breakdown at the end. If I wasn't pulling into the parking lot at work at that point, I would have said fuck it and skivved off work and done something, anything different then walking in and to have my heart and soul sucked out for the almighty corporate world.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to a pick your own around here in Sept, stocking up on cider and bringing back a bail of apples to make apple butter, apple jelly, and apple sauce with. I rarely eat raw apples these days, but I love to cook with them

Two of my best friends got married this past weekend at a gorgeous vineyard in Southern Illinois. So IL is one of the most beautiful, wonderful, magical places! I'm a bit biased having spent my college years there.
All of us met down there almost 10 years ago and we are still the closest of friends. We are each others rocks. We've seen each other at our best and worst. No one judges, no negativity, put downs, etc...only love, support, encouragement, positivity. The group of friends I made in school is the type of friends everyone needs. There for you no matter what-even when they live across the country. Every outsider that comes into our group comments on how we are with each other. As the years have passed some of us have moved, married, procreated, but the "circle" remains and everyone works for it. This weekend was magic in that it brought us all back to the place where it all started to celebrate a real, deep, true, honest love that warms my heart and soul to think about.
My friends had some of the lyrics to It Beats 4 U on their invites and I'm Amazed on the CD they made for their guests. Everywhere the 3 of us (bride, groom, myself) went over the course of 4 days we were together we listened to MMJ or Yim. I DJ'd MMJ all the way from the Vineyard to the B&B where we all stayed after the reception.
It was a perfect weekend. I'm only missing my extended family now. I have so much gratitude for all the abundance in my life that sometimes I'm just not sure what to do with it all. :-*

There for you no matter what-even when they live across the country. Every outsider that comes into our group comments on how we are with each other. As the years have passed some of us have moved, married, procreated, but the "circle" remains and everyone works for it. This weekend was magic in that it brought us all back to the place where it all started to celebrate a real, deep, true, honest love that warms my heart and soul to think about.
My friends had some of the lyrics to It Beats 4 U on their invites and I'm Amazed on the CD they made for their guests. Everywhere the 3 of us (bride, groom, myself) went over the course of 4 days we were together we listened to MMJ or Yim. I DJ'd MMJ all the way from the Vineyard to the B&B where we all stayed after the reception.
It was a perfect weekend. I'm only missing my extended family now. I have so much gratitude for all the abundance in my life that sometimes I'm just not sure what to do with it all. :-*
Awesome! Great story. You are lucky!
QuoteTwo of my best friends got married this past weekend at a gorgeous vineyard in Southern Illinois. So IL is one of the most beautiful, wonderful, magical places! I'm a bit biased having spent my college years there.

1. I was pretty much forced to take today off since I have to work every 3rd Sunday now (yet ANOTHER thing to blame a southern based mega mart store chain for) so we are given comp time. I'm not one to ever take time off, except when I'm forced to.
2. Ice Cream is key to the whole thing! It's frozen milk which is an absorbable liquid protein source that's high in glycogen. Right? Plus, I've dropped almost 20 lbs since April. Maybe the strawberry rhubarb pie and gooey butter cake cookies were just a
touch much.
Gooey Butter Cake Cookies are the FUCKING BOMB! Seriously. Evil as hell. I yell at my wife when she makes them because they just sit there and call out to me, "Daaaave, I seeeeee you, you know you want me. Don't deny your love for me. You CAN eat all of us, just try."
OK, that got a little weird.
Fuck, you hear THAT too!?!?!? Damn evil cookies.

i was just kidding. i added cookie dough ice cream to my protein shake last night, also when visiting L Dawg this past weekend, i was guilty of hitting the cinnamon rolls and some kind of mint julip/bourbon ice cream..to my defense, they don't SELL stuff like that up here! i was a tourist, whattayagonnado? ;) i have no idea what gooey butter cake cookies are, thank goodness.

Oh you sooo need to come to St Louis for Gooey Butter Cake and Gooey Butter Cake Cookies. If you do not know what a GB cake is, foreshame.

Oh and I'm totally trying to rationalize the obscene amount of ice cream I've eaten this summer. I've eaten more this year then probably the last 5 years combined.
D- Did you just say Pumpkin GB? oh shit....

Care of Paula Deen, so you know they're not good for you. But they are tasty and easy to make. There's also a lemon version, but I haven't tried that yet.
I made some apple butter last night...it's pretty tasty! Not sure if this is "true" apple butter or not, but here's the recipe...very easy and very good too eat, plus your house smells great!

More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think
about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own
story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize
you're wrong.
I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have
fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when
they've invented the lighter?
Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going
in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going?
But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from
which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or
phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no
one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching
directions on the sidewalk.
That's enough, Nickelback.
I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was
younger.
The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This
recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work?
You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the
problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix
the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just
figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
There is a great need for sarcasm font.
Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.
I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes
stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes
shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right
parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond
earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
The other night I hit a new low at an open bar. I had already hopped on
highway blackout when, inevitably I had to find a bathroom. Eventually I
decided it was probably on the other side of the bar so I tried to walk
over there, but ran into a guy coming the other way. We played that, Both
go left, Both go right game to no avail, so I finally put out my hand to
guide myself past and that's is when I realized, yup, that's a mirror I
just tried to walk through. And the guy on the other side is me. Even cats
can recognize their own image.

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I
hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

Bad decisions make good stories
Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when
you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to

I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV.
There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I
keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a
matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be
friends after this?'
While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for China and
USA. No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain that when
Chinese athletes don't win, they are executed.
I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!),
but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to
voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run
away?
I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing
anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I
like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for

Food day at work...cakes, pies, apple butter, chips, dips...yeah I'm gonna need to run when I get home...I swear they bribe us with food here
Ten days until my holiday. One week, Greek island, no phone, no email, no TV, just me and the missus with an apartment and a (tiny) boat. Bliss-o-rama.
I have officially hit my goal for the Charity I am running for. To all the current and former members here that donated. THANK YOU. I owes y'all a round or 2 of drinks.

What a great performance. Dylan and Candace seemed to walk right in and capture the audience from note one. They played for a couple of hours or so with a couple of set breaks.
It was a beautiful day which turned into a wonderful night. It wasn't the sultry August weather we've been having. There were families there. Kids. There were good friends catching up after time away. Love birds scattered here and there. Even a first date was taking place. And Candace sang to us all. Dylan serenaded us with his beautiful Martin. She was so pretty and held her demeanor as each song dictated. Dylan was so tall and handsome and supportive. Sometimes he would harmonize behind her, and sometimes she would harmonize with him. They knew all their parts and reminded me of Delaney and Bonnie a little bit. Emmy Lou and Gram at times. The chemistry they had was very real and very present on The Band's Ophelia and Ryan Adams' Two. A lucky few of us have heard them play Steam Engine before, but tonight, the audience was absolutely captivated when they played that. I don't know if it was the song itself, or the way they played it, but it reached out to a bunch of people in one way or another.
Their entire set list was classy as hell, filled with standards and classics. Not all of which I was familiar with, but perfect nevertheless, as it is with their taste in music. All seasoned with the right amout of Jacket songs, picked right from their garden...and did they ever deliver! In no particular order, they came correct with I Won't Cry, Steam Engine, At Dawn, One Big Holiday, They Ran, I Will Be There When You Die. (I was briefly pulled away with work calls, so my apologies if I missed any.)
The sound was balanced and mixed well and they looked very comfortable in the music spot light. And everybody who was there got just what they needed...even if they didn't know they needed it.
Candace and Dylan will definitely come back! And when they do, do yourself a favor if you're in town...check 'em out. ;)
PEACE!
Thanks for the kind write-up, Toby!
We had a great time. They asked us back so we'll have to do it again sometime. I'll keep you all updated. Thanks to everyone who came out!

i agree.
My mom had surgery to remove bone spurs on her neck that were pushing into her spinal chord on Tuesday night. I was in Chicago and my sister called me to say that mom came through surgery and all was well.
I found out she was not giving me the full story because she didn't want to worry me since I was out of state.
Got home Wednesday and went straight from the airport to the hospital. My mom looked horrible and she was paralyzed on her left side as well as her right leg. The only thing she could move was her right hand.
Doctors had no idea what went wrong and told her that she might spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair and that she'll be in the hospital for a few months .
Oh what a difference a day makes. This morning she started regaining feeling in her legs and left arm. Not a lot, but it's something. We're hopeful she'll have a full recovery and that an extended stay in the hospital will not be required.
Turns out she had a stroke during the surgery and that was what caused the paralysis.
She looked fantastic today and even traded a few salty barbs with EdTomBell. I'm so happy.
Not sure if this is a complaint or a joy. After nodding off on the couch for a few hours, I went to bed at 8:30 and slept straight through to 5:30. 9 hours doesn't seem like much, but that's about double what I normally get in a night. Still feel like I can sleep a few more hours.

lucy that's great news! coinicidence, too, because yesterday morning my mom had a stroke and she's in ICU in pittsburgh hospital. they think they got the massive clot by her brain but they are waiting to see if anything changes. i know how you were feeling though because she can't really move her left side at all except for her leg right now (and her arm a tiny bit) so the next few days are crucial. hopefully too much time didn't pass and too much damage wasn't done. just so scary because she's the healthiest 60 year old woman i know.

My mom's doing so much better - and the docs sent her home. She can walk a limited amount with a walker and has to go to physical therapy 5 days a week - but all signs do point to a full recovery.
Thanks for all of the kind words and thoughts. It was appreciated. It's weird how your world can change in a moment's time...
Penny - I hope your mom is doing well. My thoughts are with you!
That's great news, Lucy. So happy for you and your mom!
I had a long drive home late last night. I was so tired and would randomly start yelling to keep awake. Halfway home "Lay Low" shuffled on to my iPod and I blared it. This was the first time in many months I've heard this song (not sure why the gap in play) and the wave of happiness hit me like a freaking brick. I was almost delirious. It repeated the rest of my trip.
Current joy: Rediscovering the love of a great song.

thanks everyone. that's great lucy! sort of the same deal w/my mom. she got out of ICU sunday night but until the meds wear off, they won't know the full extent. she'll have acute care for a couple weeks but everything points to a full recovery (possibly some limitations)
*just remember, if any of you or your older relatives/parents have some sort of numbness anywhere, that comes out of nowhere and lasts for more than a few seconds, get it checked out. from what i'm learning, a little mini/partial stroke on one part of the body the day or 2 before is a sign that the big one's coming.
ate the 3 eggs last night. 2 fried and one scramble...the egg shells were much harder than the grocery store eggs. They were delicious ! Honestly I don't know if I could tell the difference in the store bought and our "Farm" raised eggs. The eggs from our birds look like a smaller version of store eggs except our eggs are brown...If any of you guys want to start raising a few chickens , I would be more than happy to lend advice. From eggs to fertilizer, chickens are the wave of the future.... :D

I just got back last night from a 4 day work trip to Madison, WI. GREAT TOWN!!!
I was really happy to get home and see my family though. Just those few days away, and the boy seems to have grown, hair is longer. It's amazing. I'm really happy to be back home with them. :)

First of all, the weather was damn near perfect the whole time I was there. I was staying at a hotel on Langdon St, like 2 blocks from the campus and 1 block from State St. After my class, I'd take really long walks in the early evening, exploring the town. I walked down by the lake and out to Picnic Pt, then back up Observatory Dr, through (one of?) the older parts of the campus. I did another walk to the football stadium, snuck in and watched the team practice from up high in the stands...walked over to that Terrace thing on the lake, then around the capital. Drank and ate at the Great Dane brew pub. Had a beer down by the lake near the student union. Really cool town!
School was just starting up, and I felt OLD walking around college students. The freshmen looked like children! Oh, to be a freshman in college again... ::) ;D
Oh, you did it up right! I can't think of anything else I'd add. Enjoying a beer on the Terrace...ideally, at sunset...is one of the finest things I've experienced in this life. :)

Ya know this got me thinking, we need a new thread for underappreciated towns/cities to visit. Madison is unbelievable and so many people haven't even heard of it, let alone consider it a place to visit. I love Madison though my last memory is hazy from seeing some band called Phish at the Kohl Center. Don't know much about them
So Lady is a Badger?, PL a Buckeye, Headdy an Nittany Lion, Tower a Spartan, Hawkeye a Hawkeye.....This is disgusting.
Any other Illini out there?

Good idea. I know about Madison, but probably wouldnt if I didnt follow college sports and knew U of W main was there.
And do me a favor BDR, give Rashard Mendenhall a call and tell him to get some positive yardage on runs aside from when theres a hole that I can run thru and get 4 yards.

My wife's almond flavored buttercream icing. How can mere icing be a joy you ask? You've never had my wife's then. Seriously, this shit will make crack addicts give up da rock and start mainlining this fluffy goodness. I've been known to eat a bowl in a sitting. Graham crackers and/or Nilla Wafers are cooking companions.

Seriously, this shit will make crack addicts give up da rock and start mainlining this fluffy goodness. I've been known to eat a bowl in a sitting. Graham crackers and/or Nilla Wafers are cooking companions.

QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteI just got back last night from a 4 day work trip to Madison, WI. GREAT TOWN!!!
Isn't it? :) I went to school there. Did you get to do any sightseeing?
No matter where you go, it's always good to come home :)
First of all, the weather was damn near perfect the whole time I was there. I was staying at a hotel on Langdon St, like 2 blocks from the campus and 1 block from State St. After my class, I'd take really long walks in the early evening, exploring the town. I walked down by the lake and out to Picnic Pt, then back up Observatory Dr, through (one of?) the older parts of the campus. I did another walk to the football stadium, snuck in and watched the team practice from up high in the stands...walked over to that Terrace thing on the lake, then around the capital. Drank and ate at the Great Dane brew pub. Had a beer down by the lake near the student union. Really cool town!
School was just starting up, and I felt OLD walking around college students. The freshmen looked like children! Oh, to be a freshman in college again... ::) ;D
Ya know this got me thinking, we need a new thread for underappreciated towns/cities to visit. Madison is unbelievable and so many people haven't even heard of it, let alone consider it a place to visit. I love Madison though my last memory is hazy from seeing some band called Phish at the Kohl Center. Don't know much about them
So Lady is a Badger?, PL a Buckeye, Headdy an Nittany Lion, Tower a Spartan, Hawkeye a Hawkeye.....This is disgusting.
Any other Illini out there?
I live in Chambana, but I'm not an Illini. I'm a Saluki.

Haha, snap...I was probably there ;D
Underappreciated towns/cities...hrm. Milwaukee is a great town, definitely underappreciated.
It was a beautiful day in London today (it's a rarity these days), just finished it off with a bbq... ah, I'm going to miss summer.

Isn't Kopp's in Milwaukee? Delicious greasy burgers and frozen custard? I worked the State Fair a couple of times in the Purina booth and remember eating really good and drinking a LOT. Kopp's was a stop a few times.

I've never ate there, but maybe. I know when I'm in the Mil we go to Oscar's for frozen custard.
Going to do a little bolf (baseball/golf) in the sunshine. Getting the beer cold for football!!!!!!

It is indeed. Good stuff....Oscar's is delicious too. Milwaukee has a bunch of great frozen custard places...we only have one custard stand where I live now, and ice cream...well, it's good, but it just isn't the same!
BH, have a great time! Will you be staying downtown? If so, I recommend the Lakefront brewery tour :)
I'll second the Lakefront Brewery tour. Be prepared to wobble out, though. :D
Went riding this afternoon which is always good.
It was 30 degrees C (86F) today and the sunset was absolutely orange. :)
Had a great 10 mile run this morning, it's not too hot not too cool, Liverpool v Burnley is on in 20 minutes, my Bff's hubby is coming down as we are on a quest for a certain beer that is not sold in St Louis but is in some of the small towns near me, and I'm taking the boy to a cannon demonstration at an old French fort that was used around the time of the French & Indian War.

THat was my fight last weekend. I had to stop after 12 as the roads and sidewalks were so covered I had no clue what I was landing in. Plus my feet were getting rubbed a little too raw, and I had to change clothes twice. Not a fun experience. I have 20 next Saturday. Last big run before the big day. After that it's 5, 8 and 12 miles runs.
Finally a day off with some tennis, disc golf and 12 hours of football!
Went for a nice long bike ride along the American River. Gorgeous. Will be watching the jets perform overhead (nearby air show) from my back yard this afternoon before whipping up a tasty paella for dinner.
Good day!
Only 4 more weeks left. I think it's only anoth 150 miles of running left before the big day, most of which is in the next 2 weeks.

no but i fly home to see her a lot. i think there's a special relationship w/the aunt. i'm secretly hoping that she'll have a bad fight w/my sister and ask to come live with me when she's a teenager and then i'll be the cool aunt and we do all kinds of stuff together. okay, that's not realistic because by then she'll be a nightmare, but i can dream, right?

I totally agree! Also, as hard as I try I'm not too fond of my sister in law's sister so i hope she sticks with the "cool aunt." I want to take her on adventures and teach her things. I think even when they're nightmares for their parents they'll still be cool for us (that's me keeping my fingers crossed.)

Penny and Dog are stopping by on their way to see KOL this evening... :)
Spent the day @ the beach yesterday (picnic, ice-creams, swam in the sea, went for a run on the sea front & then sank a beer in a cafe watching the world go by)
Played tennis this morning then spent the afternoon listening to old Frank Sinatra records whilst playing cards with my Mum & working on my tan.

Well, I'm finally off probation for the whole Iowa/MMJ & Dylan at Red Rocks fiasco for an 1/8 of weed.

Word TEO. It's good to focus on the basic goodness.
I have a little notepad and everyday I write something that I am grateful for. On 7/31 I wrote "I am grateful for the friends I've made on the MMJ forum." I think that everyday, but I try to make my gratitude topic different each day. :)

We were fine! My friend and I had Bloody Mary's for breakfast that day so I turned on the ipod and tried to nap. We were in the last row of the plane and my friend heard a few conversations between the cockpit and the flight attendant. From the bits and pieces she told me...I'm glad I didn't hear them!! I knew something wasn't right b/c we never got that far off the ground and it was rough the entire way. Apparently there was an "electrical problem" with the plane. Alls I know is that was one of the worst landings I've ever experienced. My friend and I grabbed each others hands the second we slammed into the runway. :-/
The thought crossed my mind with the cutout..it did, but I had no clue what to do with a life sized Elvis. I'm sure it would have been entertaining watching me walk around with it tho.
Too scary! Pleased to hear you're OK & thanks a lot for thinking of me :)

the gu is essential..it's disgusting (extreme salt and sugar) but suck it down, you'll be glad you did. do it early because if you wait too long, there's no point. i would start around mile 5 or so?

that's the plan for this weekend. fall foliage + mc nature reserves = awesome. i'm looking forward to the milder ky temps, too. it's been about 85 here, and i can't wait for those 65 degree days. october really is the best time of the year.
I'm off to Carbondale for Homecoming weekend. The foliage in and around Shawnee Nat'l Forest is amazing. One of these years I'm going to drive up to New England....(I keep saying that, it needs to be done.) I'm very excited for the weekend. :P

QuoteQuoteQuoteThe Autumn colors are beginning. Looking forward to some long drives listening to my favorite music.
Here! Here! It's a bout time for a hike!
that's the plan for this weekend. fall foliage + mc nature reserves = awesome. i'm looking forward to the milder ky temps, too. it's been about 85 here, and i can't wait for those 65 degree days. october really is the best time of the year.
It's been 85 in Kentucky?!! I don't really pay much attention to national weather news. For some reason I thought it was colder than usual everywhere. It's been freezing here in Iowa. It snowed last Saturday. I've had to scrape my car windows already. I hate it. We went straight from summer to 30 degree weather. I hear it's supposed to get up to 65 though this weekend. Can't wait!

Still need to get in a run, finish painting the aforementioned chairs, mulch some leaves, grill meat, drink, moe tv, more guitar, and more drink.

My current joy/laugh: I was listening to MOF on record today and I put Dear God on the speed for 45's instead of 33's. It will probably ruin my records but I couldn't resist. I won't do it again.

From what I've read...we're kind of in the same place professionally. Happy employees=better work. If you can keep things positive with your current boss and leave on a high note I think it would be great for you to make a transition. Life is too short to be miserable and stressed out in your work. I'm in the middle of a new career/new place to live search. It's tough, but I deserve to be happy and I know I have more to offer than is being used right now. My best to you...keep us posted!
3 DAY WEEKEND BITCHES!
This is the 3rd one in 4 weeks plus I have a 4 day weekend next weekend. And the beauty of it all is I have not had to burn 1 day of vacation to do it. Granted I'm maxed out and losing days at 5 weeks, but I'm not French and need that much damn time off. 2 of my 3 "required" chores are done and it's not even lunch time. Time to kick back on the couch before my run in the sun and adult beverage time.

I am officially finished with a refinishing project I've been working on. I LOVE finding ould, strange pieces and making them good again. This is a dresser that we found in my wife's G-ma's attic. Seriously, you cannot find wood like this anywhere. Kept the color as natural as possible. I did have to use a very light stain to even out the coloring as it was bleached in a few spots. Tung Oil finish. Link shoud work, even for those not on Facebook. I might snag photos of some of the other pieces I've done the last few years.

He is quite the frontman. I don't know him that well, I know him but I wouldn't say we're friends. I used to work with him when I was 16 doing surveys over the phone ;D. I'm friends with the guitar player.

I'm moving out of Nashville in 5 days and will get to spend 3 weeks with friends and family in Michigan. I'm in love with a girl I've known for half my life and I couldn't be happier with how everything is coming together. I'm moving to Denver in about a month to be with her and get a fresh start in life. It's been a really rough year but things are looking up and it's great to be ending a lousy year on a good note.
I miss the internet and I miss being a regular on the forum. Hopefully that can resume at some point in the near future.
I have a growler of Yazoo Pale Ale and it's treating me quite well this evening.

I might snag photos of some of the other pieces I've done the last few years.

Very cool, mjk! How did you learn how to refinish things? I'd like to try refinishing some of my dumpster finds, but have no idea where to start...so they just sit in my storage space.
Watching way to many episodes of This Old House and New Yankee Workshop! I cannot build anything new to save my life however. I just experimented with things till I found what worked. A good stripper is hard to come by.....as you want to avoid sanding when possible.
Or just know peeps who know how to do it and are easily bribed with beer.

My home laptop died last week and I had to endure a long weekend with no computer! I thought I was going to have to replace it, but alas, I took it in to work and my IT guys were able to resurrect it! Tragedy narrowly averted!

during gameday last saturday morning, i saw this dude holding up a sign that said "drink every time they say tebow."
;D
i can't wait for the game tomorrow. going to watch it w/ my granddad... only complaint is that verne lundquist and gary danielson are doing the play-by-play. i can't stand to watch a game called by those two.
but, whatever. RTR!

;D I've definitely played drinking games back in the day on Monday Night Football where you had to drink every time John Madden said Brett Favre during Packers games. That was too many shots by halftime! ;D

New Super Mario Bros for Wii. This game is beyond insane. Great mix of NES SMB 1 and 3, SNES Mario World and Yoshi's Island with a smattering of Wii's Mario Galaxy. And the old skool sound effects and music are bad ass.

I have nothing lined up, but I've been job searching consistently. I have a lot of options as far as places to go and couches to crash on while I look. There is no doubt things will work out.
You have NO IDEA how many times I dreamt the "scarface" scene!!!!! :D except at the end of my daydream I ran down the hallway and ninja kicked the door open when I left. I couldn't destroy everything I've done professionally over the past 3 1/2 years so I walked out with my head up and proud.

Winter is here. It's been uncharacteristically warm here until recently. I think we got around 6inches of snow, and maybe some more on the way.
[smiley=thumbdown.gif]
As corny as some of y'all might think they look they really work well and I only paid $10 so it was a pretty good bargain. @ Soulshine, no Bourbon since 10-31... :-/

For those not on Facebook, the job I want is now available! I have to talk to my boss to get "approval" to go for it which I'm sure is going to be a rather unpleasant conversation but fuck it. I need this new position.
Oh and what time do you want me over Matt to help eat up some of that cheese? mmmm cheese.

It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech Purina ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob Penny: I have eight Six different bosses right now.
The possibility that I will see My Morning Jacket in the next year fills me with such warmth that I want to give away all my belongings to people less fortunate, hug everyone I see and tap dance instead of walking everywhere I go.

A few things we can look forward to:

-better relationships (no more douchey dudes or dudettes in our lives)
-Bonnaroo (our Jacketland) and other festies
-Great shows
and finally....drum rollllllllllllllll-
-MMJ tour and meeting forum members we have not yet met.
Ky-I'm going to tap dance in front of you before we hug.

So if I had to choose between Torpedo and Celebration Ale, which is the way to go?
I know as a hophead I'll like Torpedo, but I have no idea what to expect with the Celebration Ale. Pennsylvania sucks in that unless I somehow luck out and find a bar with either of them, Id have to spend 32-35$ on an entire case

I think Torpedo is a better beer, but not by much, and it's available all year. Celebration is hoppy too, def an IPA style beer. It's great! Try it out! [smiley=beer.gif]

Great pic!! little guy is getting big. He's almost as tall as though those Xmas trees ;D
Hmm....for some reason I didnt think Torpedo was all year since I only noticed it in the last few months or so. I guess Celebration it is! (hopefully on the Pops' dime).

Slept to almost 8:30, the natural way with out the aid of too much booze. Kinda nice to sleep in. Especially when it's 15 out and the electric blanket is on max.
Glad you're having a good time in India Mark.

Sounds great Mark! I am very jealous.
My little brother is left handed also and my parents never made him eat with his right hand unless he was in India. ;D I never understood why they cut him a break when were at the dinner table at home.
is it rude to eat with your left hand?
The left hand is considered unclean. Although I understand (via an Indian student we sponsor) that some communities permit eating with the left hand if one is left handed.
QuoteIn a couple weeks I will be doing something I've always dreamed of. A fresh start. I'm going to pack up my car and say "fare thee well" to the midwest and head for Boulder. I have no idea what's going to happen, but I have a feeling its going to be great.
Wow, that's great!! Scary but very exciting :)
I promised myself I'd find a new job this year... it seems a change is on the cards for a few people here.
Wishing you all the best, Soulshine!
Somehow, I missed Soulshine's news. All the best to you, girl! Get ALady to give you the name of the chai place in Boulder.
My current joy is that sometime this year -- and it's looking like summer -- me and 29 other lucky souls are going to sit in someone's living room while Jeff Tweedy plays for us. My Christmas gift was a chance to bid on this show and my group won. :D

I not a fan of JT or Wilco, but even I have to admit that f'n awesome!
Thanks! Kind of surprises me that you're not a fan since we seem to have a lot of other bands/musicians in common.

Thats one of the coolest things Ive ever heard.
Where could you bid on something like this?! Were other bands/musicians possibilities too?

Yeah, I've tried to like them for a while and just can't. Most people are shocked that I'm not a fan.
It was part of an annual benefit, Capt. Jeff supposedly said this is the last year he's doing it, so I'm doubly grateful I have a chance to participate.
The news that Soundgarden are reuniting is a huge current joy.

Yo! I was just looking for you. You have my e-mail? leperilloux@aol.com
Thank you everyone! Your support and words of encouragement mean more than you know! XOXO
Sass-that is a super badass gift! I'm not a Wilco fan, but I can certainly appreciate the awesomeness.
Soundgarden news made my day even better than it was! w00t!
Not exactly a joy, but at dinner tonight my mom called a "family meeting" about doing stuff around the house...first time this happened, so not sure how they usually work, but it had my sisters fighting over which one gets to clean the bathrooms ;D
The joy is ill be back at school in less than a week and not have to worry about cleaning stuff up 8-)
Love that I still smell like delicious BBQ smoke from lunch, which was almost 2 hours ago. The smoke is now embedded in my clothes. I may never wash this shirt again.
I almost didn't got for a run today (my sister lives in a small village, there's been lots of snow but none of the roads have been cleared so it's pretty slippery) but forced myself after seeing cracks of crimson between the clouds @ sunset.
My usual route was too icy so I turned off into a new street, which led me out into the Norfolk countryside. It was a fantastic feeling running alongside the snow-covered fields as the sun set without another soul in sight. I had my player on random & some great tracks came on (Bermuda Highway, Tim Buckley, Massive Attack, Pentangle, Mogwai, Mono etc) & it just felt really great to be alive.

That is GREAT! I haven't been running in so long...your post made me remember that feeling. Must get back to it once the temps are above 0!

Nice! Yet another reason I need to go there.
I have no excuse for not going outside to run right now other then it's been 11F out and that's just too cold. I'd be wearing 20 lbs of clothes to prevent the wind from cuttin through me.
I've been jogging a fair bit recently - no gym so I don't have any other options. It can be a chore but I do enjoy it most days & on a really good day when all the needed body parts are working properly & you hit that groove it's an amazing feeling.
How far do you guys run? I'm still a bit of a novice & usually only go about 4miles...not quite as impressive as marathon-man-Mike! :-[ ;)
If you're up to 4 already, that is good. 4-6 is a good distance if you do that 3-4 times a week.

I usually only do about 3-4 miles. I need to start pushing myself harder to go further!
I'm house/dog/cat sitting. There is a windchill of about -15 out and we're supposed to get up to 6 inches of snow tonight. After the move out of my apartment and getting things organized for Boulder I'm totally vegging around, job searching, forum playing and watching their DVD's of Arrested Development. I'm going back to the electric blanket for a bit now.....
Got to leave work early due to the snow... it's the simple things that keep me happy :)

Yeah, as soon as the sun went down, it got chilly. There is a fair amount of fine, SLICK, snow hitting the roads right now.
Getting ready to play with my new toy. A bangin' new Troy Bilt Snowthrower...
Photos TEO?
Good man for braving the elements Mike. I'm actually running everyday right now. I know you should rest your muscles but I was desperate to lose the weight I gained over Xmas + don't have much else to do with my time.
Inspired by Mike & Soulshine's posts I'm going to push myself & see if I can't add another half mile/mile or so to my run today.
Thanks guys! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
One more reason to be on fb my friend as there is a photo there. Thought of you yesterday when the wind cut down and took a walk through a 5 cm snow covered field by myself at sunset. It was very refreshing. A Man unto himself...
Go for 5-6 DB. It's easy man, you can easily do it.
Yeah I need to do something with my FB account, joined last year sometime but haven't done anything since...
Not sure how far I ran (i tried to work it out on Google Maps but it's hard when you're running alongside fields) but I ran for a good 45mins, which is longer than usual.
Maybe we need a keep fit thread?

They released a second batch of NJ & NH presale tix today. I believe the regular sale starts tomorrow, but I'm not positive.
Still need to pick up tix for Philly (Ghost, you going?) and Bethesda (at Strathmore, a small and fantastic setting).
Yay!
Yea i'm waiting until tomorrow- the fiancee still needs to decide if she wants to go or not.

We were thinking about going to the Philly or bethseda show (my good friend lives in Savage, MD), but then I saw they were playing in Scranton (!), so I'm going to that show. Tiny, awesome venue!
SNOW DAY!!!
Leaving in roughly an hour for Florida, not that it's much warmer there right now but it will be. Van is packed, kids still do NOT know and want know until we get in the van. THey think we're doing a day to visit cool things in the city. HA I love their gullibility. I'll be gone for 10 days. I'll pop in periodically at night after we've worn the kiddos out.
Be good kids.
Have fun mjk!
Have a great time Mike! Make sure you take lots of pics - I need one of you with Chip & Dale :)

Man, I wish someone would surprise me this morning like that. Something like, "Hey Rob, get in the car. I got you an extra ticket to see the Jets in Cinci. We're leaving right now!"

Got to work today, took about a half hour to make a sweet 6 hour playlist of all Jacket songs, and I didn't hear a peep outta anyone about my music. Which is rare.
Throat surgery this morning went well. They cut a viral lesion by my uvula (and about the same size) out and sent it off for a biopsy. Got a bottle of liquid Vic to help with the discomfort. Get me a shot glass crazylove! ;)
hope you feel better soon, teo!

Good vibes your way TEO!
Hopefully the biopsy comes back good
I love how the "Current Joys" thread is 268 pages while the "Current Complaints" is 196. Way to be positive and happy, folks. :) :) :)
Current Joys? I bought a case of Blue Moon and I plan to crack one (or three) open shortly.
Throat feels even better today! Got some Torps for tonight's game. Now the waiting period to get back the biopsy results on Thursday... :-/
biopsy....negative....full recovery...positive.....party at TEO's house...I'll bring the music and the ice cream....what's your favorite flavor? We love you bud! Keep us posted..

Drove straight through from Orlando to St Louis. It wasn't too bad, cept it rained from the FL/GA border to the KY/IL border. But it washed away the snow and grime so that's a good thing.

I had an amazing going away party on Saturday night with all of my "back home" friends and some college friends. Said "see you later" (I dont say goodbye) to them and to my Mom yesterday. Really hard day.
Today I depart for my journey west. I'll be stopping to see friends along the way and arrive in Boulder tomorrow. One minute I'm really brave and the next I'm scared shitless.
Time to pack up the car now.
Good luck in Boulder! If anything, you have all of us in spirit backing you up gurlfriend... :)
Good luck Soulshine... enjoy your adventure :)
Have fun!
You must be haulin' if youre going to get out there by tomorrow :o
Best of luck Soulshine! :)
Good luck Soulshine! I'm in the same boat. Supposed to decide by Thursday whether or not I'll be moving to Ohio. And my ladyfriend is not even here in the States to discuss this with until the 24th. Sucks. At least Boulder will be much cooler than Ohio! (no offense to Ohioans).
Good luck Soulshine
Currently I'm enjoying the hell out of these. I picked up a pair while in Disney. It's "scratched" on the bottom like the lovely Sam Adams mug. Can't wait to make a B&T in this bad boy. Wish I had on of Bass's brolleys, but I have my own that works just fine.

I just started facebook and an old friend that I lost contact with in 1994 contacted me. We were BFFs and had a falling out (don't even remember over what) and then I moved out of state...and, well, it's great being back in touch with her again.

yep, FB is good for that. Got in touch with my first real love and close from from HS that way. We hadn't talked since 1991
That's funny - EdTomBell was skeptical when I started FB - his first comment was "I don't want any old boyfriends popping out of the woodwork."

I probably won't need knee surgery!
I went back to the doc Friday and was told that I need physical therapy for a month or two. If I feel better after 2-3 weeks, I won't need surgery!
My knee still hurts like a mother, but... no surgery!

Yeah, I started too early. I didn't realize how many breaks there were between the time I threw and watching my teammates. 2 or 4 beers between the time I threw, and I started to just suck. Who didn't see that coming? I was the sub, so I still had a great time. Seeing my teammates upset almost made it worth it!
I accepted a job offer yesterday
Congrats, Soulshine!

Awesome Soulshine!
And Walt - you need to find that happy medium of buzzedness where your game is at its peak. I try to do this when I golf, its probably like 6 beers or so and Im bogeying everything with maybe a par here or there. But its not like I stop drinking. A few beers later and Im driving the golf cart in a ditch (yes, that actually did happen once, and this ditch was like 5 feet deep)
SOULSHINE ROCKS

I was on the phone today talking to a client about a stem measurement (don't ask) and I had to explain that girth doesn't matter - it's the diameter that's important. Anyway, finished up the call and got on with my day, five minutes later this really hot girl from upstairs finishes her meeting in the next room, comes over to me and says:
"Just to let you know, girth does matter.." and winked..

I'm still giggling...

I think I'll be competing a lot more now that I know what to expect.
Mainly dressage type stuff.
Holy CRAP turkeys can be NOISY little boogers.....pictures will be coming soon
I'm still in bliss (even though I feel like crap right now). Some photographical evidence. I'm hoping this feeling holds up until 4/11 when I have Arctic Monkeys.

Time for a shake up for Me and Mrs W. We're going to be moving to Andalusia, Spain, at the end of the summer. Initial destination (for the first six months at least) will likely be Seville.
Changes at my work mean I will be working from home for part of the week. The wonder of the interweb means that "home" doesn't have to be in the same country... and low-cost airlines mean that the commute to the UK part of my working life will not be too expensive.
I'm not keen on my forthcoming CO2 footprint, so will be doing lots of carbon offsetting to assuage my eco-guilt.

It's a toss up - finished up a three day on site audit with the Veteran's Administration (we rock!) at work OR the realization that in exactly four weeks the hubbie and I fly to Maui for a vacation.
Got a lead on a new position, from the person who will do the hiring. Knowing some of the others that will apply, I'm really hopeful this one will pan out. My stress level needs a break for a while.
Mark- NIIIIIIce work! I'm sure Spain will be mucho amazing!
mjk-Good luck! :)

I finished fourth out of eleven in my mountain bike race yesterday. It stormed yesterday morning at the course in Columbia, TN. It was ridiculously muddy (notice the legs), but a lot of fun.

Sweet jersey, hippie! ;D
What was the course like? Much elevation change? Do you race regularly?
Nice job! 8-)
That's DIRTY hippie to you, mister!
The course didn't have a lot of climbing (only 682 ft ascent), but it was terribly muddy so it was very slow. The conditions were so bad that they actually rerouted around some of the steeper stuff. I am a training data nerd, so if you are interested here are my stats from the race (the scary heart rate at the end of the race is due to the sprint finish against another guy in my category. I beat him by .03 seconds):

I just started racing last year and ran three races. This year I made a sponsored team and have eight races on my tentative schedule.

So I met this dude the other night, and we got along quite well, and it turns out he knows a couple of my friends (I love when the city feels like a small town sometimes). I asked my friend about him today, and she was like, "Oh, you know...he's the kind of guy that likes to take his shirt off all the time."
I debated putting this under "Current Complaints" but I decided it's more of a "Current Joy". ;D

So fucking exhausted right now and feel like absolute shite, but it's from my own doing. In honor of my work buds running the Go St Louis Marathon tomorrow, I ran my own little half marathon today. Got 13.1 miles in today. Not a record breaking time, but I'm fine with it. In addition, I finally mulched the area around our grape vines surrounding our patio. Looks smashing now, and it's much easier to mow the area. Time for steaks, and beer. Yes this is all a "Joy". I'm strange.

At a party last night, me and a friend were de-facto DJ's on other peoples ipods. Despite going thru 2 people's entire catalog, we only came up with like 20 songs between the 2 of them to play.
Im just glad I like so much good music
I have spent the past hour listening to the new Dead Weather outside on my iPhone. Great music and an even better day make this one awesome hour!

My dad, 74, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer exactly 5 years ago. His form of cancer has a 2-3% survival rate after 5 years.
On Thursday, his oncology team discharged him from his treatment group. A participant in an experimental treatment regimen for pancreatic cancer, my dad has been cancer-free for nearly three years.
The surgery, chemo, and radiation have beat the shit out of his body, but he is a lucky man. And I, a lucky son.

Hey, the iPhone thing is way cool. I dropped a cell phone in a urinal once (who here doesn't check their messages while they're taking a leak?). The bag of rice thing is genius.
I work with a woman at the high school who heard me talking about my dad. Turns out she was in the same group, same result. All this in tiny NH! Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is a hell of a place.
Thanks for your kind words. Glad your iPhone survived. Good things happen to good people.

Thats great Yac! Im pretty sure Pancreatic cancer is by far the most devastating form of cancer there is, amazing he beat it!
hell yeah yac. cancer blows. glad your dad kicked it's ass. horrible stuff all around, glad medicine is getting better.
That's beautiful, YYac :) I'm so happy for you and your family.
Awesome YYac. My mom's doctor gave her one year. That was more than 5 years ago. Feels damn good to win some. It was her diagnosis and my love of MMJ that I believe brought me to this board and all of you lovely people. It gave me someone else to talk to in a rough time in my life. This was my first post. Totally cheesy reading it back now. ;D
God bless you and your dad JY.

Great news guys! Huge vibes for complete recoveries and for anyone else so afflicted.
Thanks everyone. I told my Dad about posting his news to the MMJ fan forum. He is amazed at such a thing and appreciates all of your kind words, as do I. BH, you are my brother from another mother (all the P. Floyd references in that first post are just icing on the cake).
I've just been for a walk round the block!
I had an operation on my leg a couple of weeks ago and I've been walking round the house (with two sticks) for a while. I had my metal staple things taken out (49 of them!) and thought I'd venture outside. I'm so chuffed with myself.
By the way, I had the operation under a spinal anaesthetic so I was awake thoughout. I loaded all the songs that make me smile onto my mp3 player to drown out the sound of the drilling and sawing. I could still hear them a bit but with the jacket in my ears I didn't care!
Oh, and doesn't somethng like this remind you how good good friends are?
So pleased for you and your Dad johnnYYac. That's great news!
Great news Susan. Glad you're back up and moving around.
Way to kick cancers ass Johny's dad.

That's sounds like a peaceful feeling. It took me years to think of my parents without feeling upset. Now when I think of them I can smile and even laugh at the things they did and said.

Headed out for vacation tomorrow. I will try to leave work behind (as much as possible), but with smart phones and wifi it's hard to do. I wonder if my iPhone would skip across the ocean very well...
I've got a marathon month of music coming up staring tonight.
I've evaluated a lot of crap in my life lately and made the appropriate cuts where I needed too. Amazing how eliminating a few negative factors from you life can really make an immediate difference.
Pretty damn happy these days. Waiting to hear back on a huge job opportunity, making about $20K more than I make now. Yall keep your fingers crossed for me on that one if yall don't mind. Would be a life changer.
Just booked 4 nights in a cabin and 3 days on a pet-friendly boat with my 2 favorite gurls at Patoka nevertheless... :)

QuoteWent through the Subway drive thru, and I got a free sub. Sure the one I got for free wasn't meant for me, but what the hell.
Subway drive thrus are the shit, but I love them just because in high school me and a couple friends went on a burn run and we just decided to take random roads that we had no idea where they went. We probably drove like a half hour out of the way and end up in this town called Leetsdale, that apparently just consisted of a strip mall, bank, and Subway - except we thought we were higher than possible because the Subway had a drive thru and we had never seen one before. To this day, Im not sure Ive even seen another Subway with a drive thru.
One of the roads around there that we went on also had a sign that was shaped like a stop sign but said WHOA.
Unbelievable
I got the IBM job! Instantly almost doubled my salary. Gonna be a life changer for me. Last Friday could have very well been on of the best day's of my life. I was eating some hangover aiding bbq on the way to Charlotte to see Phish. My buddy goes to the bathroom so I decide to check my email and, there it is "Offer Letter from IBM Sent". I lost it. Had to get up and run out of the restaurant and call my Dad. He retired in 2003 after working 30 years with IBM. Needless to say, he's pretty proud. I'm still pretty beside myself about it. I've been miserable at my current job for well over a year. This is exactly what I needed. Gotta call big blue here in a little while and find out when I can start. I've got about 2 weeks of vacation left here so I'm gonna have a nice little rest and relaxation period before the new gig starts.

Thanks guys. Really does mean a lot. I've mentioned it on here before, but I am absolutely miserable at my current job. Real thankful to have a job, but it's terrible. I was lucky enough to survive the Wachovia/Wells Fargo merger. Worked for Wachovia for 4 years prior to the merger. Wells came in and "repurposed" those of us that didn't get laid off. I went from having a semi important job with Wachovia, to having a job that a elementary school kid could do. Right now my only job responsibility is to look at printed loan modifications and make sure the numbers match those on the computer. I can literally do my job in 15-30 min a day. Absolutely no challenge at all.
The new gig is going to push me hard, but it's lined with all sorts of pay incentives to work hard. Basically, it will be up to me to make as much or as little non base salary cash as I want. Wells wants us to do just one piece of the puzzle and move it along like an assembly line. With IBM, I'll be able to take ownership of the entire process and see it through.
Found out yesterday I start training for the new job on 9/7. Making it 2 more months at this job may prove to be the most difficult thing I've ever done. ;D

I had two mountain bike races in approximately 102 degree heat index conditions this past weekend and managed 2nd place (of 4) in the time trial on Saturday and 4th place (of 13) in the cross country on Sunday. To say that it was hot is definitely an understatement.
It was difficult during the races not to think about the fact that I could be drinking ice cold beer in an air conditioned room somewhere, but, in some twisted way, it was still fun.

For real. I learned my lesson after my DNF at my race in May. I only rode the XC on Sunday at about 85% due to the conditions and still came away with 4th place. I basically rode as if it were a training ride. I had a good time and I didn't have to be hauled off the trail and, well, that's a good thing.

For the last few weeks I've been playing ultimate frisbee on Saturdays and I've spent the rest of the weekend w/a killer headache. I hydrate before and after, but the humidity has really been kicking my a**. I can't take it like I used to.

I used to play ultimate frisbee like it was my job. It is a lot of fun, but I don't know if I could hang anymore. I wear a Camelbak when I ride, but I don't think that it would work so well for ultimate, what with 60 ounces of Gatorade/water mix sloshing around on your back. Do you think that hydration (or lack thereof) is causing the headache? Have you ever tried any during activity fuels like gels, shot blocks, etc?

i've taken gel tabs during the marathons but never during training runs or ultimate. I've never had this happen before..i might pick up a gel tab, maybe you're right, i don't think it's a lack of potassium because I'm not cramping up.

Tried mountainbiking last night. Flyguy, I instantly have mucho respect for you buddy. That was really hard, kinda scary. Funny thing was, the only time I fell I was standing still! Was telling a story about last Saturday night when I got a case of "the leans." I was leaning left and had to spin in circles to keep my balance. As I'm telling the story, I'm straddling the bike and on a hillside. I start leaning left and fall over into a tree. Nice. I'd blame it on my jell-o legs (I was beat from riding), but it could also just be my terrible balance. At least I didn't smoke any trees or fall off any bridges :)

What could be more fun than screaming through the trees on tight, twisty singletrack at 22 mph knowing that a trip to the ER is only one mistake away?
I absolutely love it and I sort of feel addicted to riding (just ask my wife). I wish I had started riding competitively sooner. Technical climbs with roots and rocks are probably the toughest in my opinion and it takes a lot of riding to build up leg strength. I know that this will sound odd, but I don't have the best balance either. When I am having to ride really slow and narrow, I have a tendency to lean myself. What is the name of the trail that you rode? Just curious.
Any ride without a mechanical or an injury is a good ride.

Technical climbs with roots and rocks are probably the toughest in my opinion and it takes a lot of riding to build up leg strength. I know that this will sound odd, but I don't have the best balance either. When I am having to ride really slow and narrow, I have a tendency to lean myself. What is the name of the trail that you rode? Just curious.
Any ride without a mechanical or an injury is a good ride.
The trail was in Marietta, OH. I know it's abbreviated the NCT Trail (North Country Trail, I believe?). I don't know much about it, whether it's "official" or just made by some local enthusiasts. The guy I rode with said it was the shortest one in town.
I did get about a tennis ball sized bump and a good scratch on my knee when I fell over, but nothing major. And, right at the end of the ride I was pretty much riding a wheelie up the hill when my back tire slid out and hit big tree root sticking out of the ground, taking out my rear brakes. Road the rest of the way with front only...luckily we didn't have far to go.
The trail was much, much narrower than I expected. I was expecting maybe 4-5 feet wide, not a freakin' tire width? Damn! I'll definitely be trying this again. I need to work on building up speed and balance for sure. I was probably going 8-10 mph tops most of the time. I can't imagine flying down this trail, at least not without LOTS more practice.
QuoteQuoteQuoteTried mountainbiking last night. Flyguy, I instantly have mucho respect for you buddy. That was really hard, kinda scary. Funny thing was, the only time I fell I was standing still! Was telling a story about last Saturday night when I got a case of "the leans." I was leaning left and had to spin in circles to keep my balance. As I'm telling the story, I'm straddling the bike and on a hillside. I start leaning left and fall over into a tree. Nice. I'd blame it on my jell-o legs (I was beat from riding), but it could also just be my terrible balance. At least I didn't smoke any trees or fall off any bridges :)

Yeah, singletrack is where it's at. I was riding with a buddy this past weekend up in Indiana and we where talking about how you can't really explain what it is like to ride on a narrow trail with roots, rocks, and obstacles. A guy that I work with hiked the 11 mile loop (1,000 feet of ascent) with his wife earlier this year that I frequent and had only one question for me: "How in the eff do you ride a bike on that?!"
Another forum member just sent me a PM about buying a new mountain bike so maybe we can get MMJ to sponsor a team or something. I started a mountain bike thread last year, but it never caught on. Maybe I'll start another.
This is my favorite mounatin biker, Emily Batty:

Can you figure out why?
It is in fact a national scenic trail:
http://www.northcountrytrail.org/
I know this because my college roommate was the GIS person who mapped the whole thing (and I believe helped build/clear parts of it too). ;D Small world!
Current joy in my neck of the woods: I think I got my awesome back. :)

Surely your awesome never left.
And speaking of GIS, I've applied for a GIS job in Boulder, in the same place miss awesome herself, Soulshine works!
Wow, that is quite an impressive trail system. Hawkeye, you didn't ride the whole 4600 miles did you? No wonder you fell over.

It comes down pretty close to these here Kentucky parts, too, it appears.
Congrats on your rediscovery, ALady.
Thanks dudes. It went missing for a minute. But it's back in full effect. :)
Good luck on the job CrispYY! What I wouldn't give to live in Boulder...
I used to mountain bike all the time. Now I just ride my mountain bike on the street. I just don't have any good trails around me anymore and never have time to get in a car and drive 30-40 minutes just to get to a good trail. Plus I don't think I'm in "offroad" shape anymore but I'm slowly working my way back there. Your adventures are impressive (and inspiring) flyguy.

Okay, I'm going to start another thread. I hear ya, BH. My nearest trail that is worth a damn (Land Between the Lakes in KY) is almost 3 hours round trip. The ice storm that we had here early last year claimed a lot of trails. My closest trail (20 minutes away) was just awarded a $50k grant for a pro crew to come in and cut new trails.
Which leads to my current joy:
My local mountain bike trail will be redone by professional trail builders after it was lost to the 2009 ice storm.
Today I have:
1) downloaded the new Carl Broemel CD
2) downloaded the live recording of the VA Appalachian Voice show
3) found out I will be seeing Carl live in New York City in befuckingtween At Dawn and It Still Moves
4) found out about several awesome opening bands at T5
5) remembered that someone was streaming the entire Newport Folk Festival this weekend
6) had an amazing Shrimp PoBoy for lunch
7) was inpired by flyguy to step up my mountainbiking habit
8) realized I wasn't the only one that occasionally suffers from swaggy balls
I'm getting a bottle of Makers tonight to celebrate and have a Snowy Bramble listening party. Who's with me?

It's great to be alive and a Jacket fan.
I'm going out for drinks with friends tonight so I just might have to stop in here later and celebrate with you. Save me some Makers! ;D
I could probably do that, BH. I just downloaded the album as well, but I might have a head start on you, I just popped open a homebrew (Belgian Trippel) (The Reds are on; and just took the lead!!). I don't know how long I'll last! ;D

Niiiiiiice. :) ;) Sounds like you and Crazylove are having a great summer.
Yes we are! Took about 5 shorter trips rather than 1 big one to VT. My current joy is being able to fix up Jake with a nice bed yesterday since he has been sleeping on a couch all summer. He was and is in constant Heaven... :) Now if we can just get the dog to settle when we leave the room... ;)
Sharing crazylove's home cooked chicken and noodles with 15 college students last evening was a total blast! They were busting each other's balls on and on. I loved it..."I kid because I love"-Anthony Bourdain-

Chills from Steam Engine while driving across the Mojave
Totally raced a motorcycle at a light tonight and won. It. Was. Awesome.
I looked over at him while the light was red and smirked, he revved his engine and I looked forward, Bam! green. smoked him. what a bitch.

I don't like guns yo.
I was talking to this lady I work with yesterday. She was saying how she went to Sheetz the other day for some food, but it was packed, and there was nowhere to park. I guess some guy started honking for her to move so he could get out, so she just had her car move at a slow crawl towards the exit. They get out of Sheetz, and the 1st red light theyre at, dude gets out of his car and starts yelling and swearing at her. After a little bit, she has her left hand down by her ankle and says "sir, please go back to your car. if you put your hands inside my car, im going to shoot you". he goes back to his car.
This lady is turning 60 in a couple weeks, so I tell her you didnt really have a gun, did you? Turns out she did and wouldve shot him!!!

The youth of America are in good hands as far as this board goes. Between Teo, aMD, and JYac, we've got some inspiring educators here. I think Crazylove, too (but am not 100% sure).
Penny I like your current joys :) That has to be such a good feeling with talking to your mom. I know I don't know you guys, but I feel that.
My current joy is that I'm about done packing and just need to grab a shower before I head on the road out westttttt!!! Primus, Outside Lands, Xavier Rudd, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and whatever the road may bring, here I coooommeee!!
Like to think of it as Jerry & I goin' where the water tastes like wine....... to make it to the promised landdd ;)

see that's what scares me. 60 year-old women packing heat. fucking scary. women shouldn't even be allowed to drive let alone carry a gun.
Great news Penny! Just yesterday I watched a show about an Ironman competition in which a woman who had had a stroke just two years before the event finished before the midnight deadline. What a crazy event that is, a marathon, 115 miles on a bike AND 4-5 mile swim or something like that. Wow.

It was from the time Pork Soda came out (1993?) thru probably around 2000 before their hiatus. I think I saw them 5-6 times just on the Pork Soda tours.

Dealing with patients at least every week with strokes is hard enough, I couldnt imagine having a family member suffer from one. Good to hear she's turning a corner.

Hi kids.....
Things are a little better here (still not coming to NYC though >:( ). Just keep plowing through the days wondering when that magical winning lottery ticket is ever going to show up. Barely making it through my marathon training because of the atrocious heat/humidty we've had this summer. Kids go back to school soon which should alleviate some of the stress in the house and she found a good full time job outside of the house so that will greatly help. Recently took the kids on a very last minute trip to Chicago. Had fun seeing a couple things and visiting with an old dear friend and her husband. Makes me wish I lived in Chicago. I talk to/email someone here daily and it helps (and I can never thank her enough and she knows who she is).
ribs
ice cream
good beer
good wine
quality cheese
These are a few of my faaaaaavorite things.
Miss all the peeps. Not sure how much I'll be around. Certainly not like I used to be, but who knows.
Glad things are looking up, Mike.

I dont know if it will be Iowa or not, I just feel like whatever team keeps Pryor in the pocket on a regular basis and contains his running has a great chance to beat tOSU. Now if Indiana does that, no, they wont win, but if a decent team does, I think they have a great shot unless Pryor's passing ability has really progressed

Really though, I have to say, I consider college football as joyous, so it technically fits here! 8-)

3rd row tickets for Neil Young!!!
Quote3rd row tickets for Neil Young!!!
I got to be up close in personal with Niel back when I was in college! My friend and I were baking off to the side of the lawn at Blossom Amphitheater here in Akron OH and this couple was leaving right at the start of Niel's show waving their tix and saying they had 3rd row center tix for free to anyone that wanted them.
Given the state of mind my friend and I were in, it took a couple of seconds to sink in but we finally jumped up and snagged them! I couldn't believe it was true! What a kick ass night that turned out to be. We were there with like 8 other friends who were also out on the lawn and we were like, fuck them, we're going to the fucking 3rd row!!! 8-)
Speaking of Neil Young.....Got a pizza, turned on tv and The Last Waltz was on, Neil was singing Helpless. I'm not sure if I've ever loved a man more than when Levon sings The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down.

I saw TLW was on, but just missed it. With time before the next program, they showed a clip of Cream from '05 doing "Sunshine of Your Love." Amazing jam. Clapton, Bruce, and Baker were on fire.
Here it is:

I'm finally healed! Well, mostly. Sorry if I've posted anything weird in the past few weeks, I don't remember it and I was out of my mind on pain meds. I burned the shit out of my arm a couple weeks ago, yesterday was the first day that I could go the entire day without taking a pill or drinking anything since it happened. Healed up right in time to go back to work (ok, that "joy" was a little tongue in cheek).

Glad to hear you're feeling better! Hope the arm is healing...sounds like a nasty burn :(

Glad you're doing better man. That sounds painful. I guess I shouldn't ask how that went down? I'll PM you my address so you can send me your leftover meds. Cool.

I was actually brewing beer, believe it or not. I hadn't even started really, it was the first step. I heated up a pot of boiling water to get the mash ton "primed". I was carrying the pot to the mash tun when a bit splashed on my stomach. When that happened I reacted and a lot of that boiling water splashed out onto my arm. I've never been in that much pain in my life and it just kept getting worse until I almost fainted or hyperventilated, but I kept myself together enough to drive myself to the immediate care center in my truck, which is a stick, to the ER. After that it was just a lot of pain, drugs, pain, drugs, cleaning the burn, PAIN, drugs, pain, drugs, repeat... Until yesterday. Today it looks really good, certainly injured, but no longer a gaping wound.
btw, no way I'm quitting brewing! I brewed my first batch today since my injury. I'm back, baby!
I brewed Cincinnati Red Ale. :)
Sounds like you will be able to make it Saturday... :)
Had a great weekend with Jim Bob! Back to MIZZOU for his Senior year. Man it has gone quickly...

that's seriously fucked something so delicious can do so much damage. I hate burns. once I was making some dank ass crispy treats and spilled the hot marshmallows on the floor. tried to scoop them up with this little dish but the marshmallows got stuck to a couple fingers. it was the worst burn I've had. probably 2nd degree burns from fucking marshmallows. such an annoying process getting rid of a burn. at least they gave you pills to help cope. don't pop the blisters for as long as you can stand it, it'll make that shit worse no doubt.
Damn Dylan, sounds painful. Glad to hear it healed up!
Off to college tomorrow! :D

Congrats. My first day of college was the greatest and strangest day of my life. I drove 13 hours with my stereo and speakers in two banana boxes, walked into my dorm room to be greeted by members of the R&B group Jodeci (they were friends of a fellow dorm person) who were amazed that I had so many bananas, and then hooked up my stereo and blasted Doolittle as loud as I could like some kind of deranged mating call. I then drank a 6 pack of Labatt's Blue and met many of the people who remain my best friends to this day - including my wife.

Mine was similar in the fact I drank....an alarming amount. However my shitty Uni didn't have dorms for the 20,000+ students attending so I didn't get to meet memebers of a famed R&B/hip hop group. I believe I was listing to Goo that day (stands to reason as I was heavily into SY at the time). I probably passed passed out, alone. Ah that first year, I majored in Game Room at the Student Union, when i bothered to actually show up.
Oh man. Great story :)
I believe I spent a good part of the first day sponge-painting the bathroom and blasting the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, scaring the bejeezus out of my roommates.

I actually went to the Wiki to find out what happened to Jodeci - apparently they were the godfathers of "new jack swing." What is "new jack swing?" I once watched an awful movie called Swing Kids with my college roomate (our t.v. got only one channel: Lots of Blossum, Xuxa, and crappy movies) and as I recall it was kind of a Footloose set in Nazi Germany. Does this have anything to do with "new jack swing?"

No deets necessary. I was trying to deliver a pizza. Two fuckers who had set me up, jump out with pieces and come after me. Luckily my peripherals were working and I got a jump on 'em before I was cornered. I took off and started yelling like crazy. 250 yards of sprinting later after doubling back, I was good. This is B'more. It's not the first time for me and definitely not for my buddies. Cops came and were diligent because it happened in a white neighborhood. I live to play another day.

Kind of what I was thinking. or was if Duff and his crew of cake makers? He looks like he'd rob somebody for their pizza.
I realize my enthusiasm doesn't seem genuine, because this is Wednesday, and what I'm enthusiastic about happened on Saturday and Sunday. It should be noted though that where I am, which apparently is in 1999, I don't have access to the world wide web at my fingertips, disposal, etc. Whoa is me? No. Slow is me. Anyway, I just don't want to pay the money. It's too damned expensive for a service that we should all have access to. Anyway, I'm taking an online class and I think it's time I get access to the world wide Mf'in web, huh? Maybe next week. Keep in mind though, that when I get it...I'm coming back to take over this Forum.
I digress....what I have to say is that TEO and Crazylove are the best, most gracious people in all of the land. It is because of them, and them alone that I still even consider Indiana a state. They have a beautiful place with a beautiful lay-out. And when the corn is up, have all the privacy in the world. Their big house sits in an unusual, but very inspiring landscape of urban, suburban and rural. It is such a cool feeling to drive into their neighborhood.
Dylan rode with me up there for a long-awaited and much anticipated visit with Matt and Nancy. Penny and I tried to visit them one time, but got pulled over and beaten to a pulp by the liars known as mapquest. So this was a trip that I had literally been trying to make for over a year. God knows how many times they have come to Louisville.
Anyway, bewteen the fellowship and laughter, even a couple of tears. Between the pork loin and chicken from the smoker to the baked potato salad and TLC salad that Nancy made, to the crossroads omelette for breakfast. Between the home brews Dylan brought and the cans TEO had. Between the mahogany '63 Corvette in TEO's gentleman's office and the comfortable, clean bed and private room to sleep in. Between jamming with Dylan and peanut buttering with everybody. Between being chauffered around town in the Lincoln to learning a little bit about TEO's father. Between the coffee and the good stuff. Nancy's tenderness and TEO's classroom. I feel like I have been graced with two of the most pleasant souls in the world. Something I already knew, but was reconfirmed this passed weekend.
The janitor is probably the only person whom Matt trusts more than Nancy, but other than that, I am proud that they both call me their friend. I'm proud they both trust me. I'm proud to have been drawn to them by this band...it really makes sense to me.
So, if you are ever invited to hang with TEO and Crazylove, don't hesitate. I never felt so comfortable in a place I'd never been before. Thank you to you both. I can't wait to see you again.
Toby
Nice! To TEO and Crazylove! [smiley=beer.gif]
Okay, I am definitely up next for a visit.
Maybe we can take the vette for a ride! ;)

Most of the peeps here know they are welcome at my place for some homecooking, homebrew, and homegrown goodies anytime. It was nice to have the shoe on the other foot and be the guest last weekend.
Hats off to TEO and CrazyLove!

Food, drinks, and fellowship...sounds like a blast. Awesome!
WOW! I am floored and truly touched...we just do what we enjoy doing for those that we love. It's part of our "Hoosier Hospitality." You two were our first visiting Jacket Peeps and I wish others were in closer proximity so we could all get together more often. It's very important to me. JACKETFEST 2011...
in 8 days from now, i will be at the beach. this will be my first beach trip in over seven years!

WTF?!?!?
yeah ruckus you really have to elaborate. either you can run faster than lightning, the dudes had a fake gun/no bullets, or you're lying. spill it speedy gonzales. were they black?
Glad you're alive, brother! We need details.
Thanks Walts. So am I. I tell ya it is quite the adrenaline rush when you know that your life is on the line. I keep replaying the situation in my head. The last time I got robbed, I got cornered with no opportunity for flight so I fought and got my ass kicked by three dudes. This time around, I had an out and took it. Crazy when your body takes over. I didn't know what I was doing but I felt as light as air and Usain Bolt couldn't have caught me. ;D This wasn't the first time a gun was brandished at me and all I gotta say is as long as you got your life, your family and your friends, you ain't got too much to bitch about.
Hey, Ruckus, here's some more info just in case you get held up again:

Run if you can, but definitely don't laugh at someone pointing a gun at you. Scary/sad.

Thanks dude. You know it's sad when me and my friends are well versed in what to do under these circumstances. 2 of my friends have been robbed at gunpoint in the past two years and another jumped for his iphone. Unfortunately, though such indiscriminate acts of violence shouldn't be tolerated or accepted, we just acknowledge it as a way of life here. We just don't contribute to it.
As for the case you pointed out, it really is a sad case and all over the news here. It's rather prevalent these days for black youth to target Latino populations because they tend to work and carry cash and many are illegals that don't want to be exposed so they don't want to be witnesses or even report everyday robberies. I've read numbers that a large majority of armed robberies of Latino's don't even get called in for that reason.
But, this is the wrong thread for such dark crap.

my current joy is failblog...this happens every couple months or so...which inevitably leads me into epic win blog, lolcats, the whole 9 yards.... it always becomes a nice long drawn-out process somehow.... kind of like strongbad cartoons..... sometimes i end up skimming through those too, after all the other jazz.....

So this morning I dreamt I went to see MMJ at some fest again, but all I wanted was to see them... tickets were 100 DOLLARS because it was a fest
And I snuck in!! I remember them playing At Dawn before the dream did something else....... which is super weird because I woke up at 8 and probably had the dream right around dawn............. those guys....sheesh
It's Friday and Monday is a holiday so 3 day weekend. Today will be dead at work as people will take advantage of the holidayness of this weekend.
Oh and I'm higher then high on caffeine right now, so watch the fuck out!

Most excellent. Buffalo Trace is my new favorite trail. In fact, I'm riding there again early tomorrow morning!
That trail always makes me think of bourbon for some reason, though...
Too bad it is so far away! Kinda' know the area due to our Green Patoka Lake experiences...
QuoteToo bad it is so far away! Kinda' know the area due to our Green Patoka Lake experiences...
How far is it for you? I really like that little town. West Baden is pretty impressive, especially after the remodeling. I know that it is thought of as a casino town now, but gambling just doesn't do much for me. Unless, of course, I'm gambling that I'm not going to smack a tree on two wheels at 22 mph.
'bout 3 hours. I hear you on the gambling thing My Brother in Jackethood, full of a bunch of smoking hilljacks all dressed up for nuttin'...
It's about 2 hours for me. Considering I have to drive 1.5 to my closest trail the extra 30 minutes each way is not such a big deal. I have never hung out there, but Patoka looks great from what I can see crossing it on the highway.

Steak, eggs, salad, and Dave's Temporary Insanity Hot Sauce.
QuoteSteak, eggs, salad, and Dave's Temporary Insanity Hot Sauce.
THE Dave's Insanity Sauce?! What does the temporary mean? That stuff is no joke. Along with some other hottest sauce in the universe bottles which are all invariably pure capsaicin extract. Dave's Insanity is some of the best and hottest I've had. How the heck did you use it on steak and salad? I would always put a drop in my ramen noodle broth or for stupid dares.
I once didn't wash my hands properly after opening a bottle of it. I used the men's room not long afterwards. Needless to say my egg roll and dumplings were on fire for 24 hours!!!

Well, I've had the normal one (I think it had a brain for a lid), but found this in the supermarket. I don't think I gave it enough respect - I just put a couple of dollops on top of the steak and eggs. At least I've stopped crying now, but I fear the pain tomorrow morning. TP in the fridge, methinks.
just got a strain called "Chem Dawg". wtf? it smells so damn good. It's so chronic that if hacksaw smelled the bag he'd be offended.
Hehe

We picked around 40 lbs a couple weeks ago. They are the shit this year. The St Louis area didn't have the best crop because of the way we got rain (little) and very high heat. Eckerts Orchards had issues where they were cracking and popping on the trees. We were able to find a few good rows. So freaking sweet and juicy and damn delicious.

you should tell them to start playing good videos again. maybe they should start with touch me pt. 2? just a thought. if they give you a room to chill in, trash it. if they give you free stuff, waste it. if they give you a toilet, use the floor. you get it. tame that beast. MTV is yours to profit from. They are a bag of money now, steal that money for your non-profit and profit like a true baller. tell kurt loder(sp?) he's old as fuck for me.

because I'm a political extremist. if you want to add me that's cool if not that's cool but I've got a dope propaganda game going right now and I want to get weed legalized. I'm paranoid they'll arrest me. if I put my real name up my dad would be in danger as well and that just would not be cool since we have the same name.

Your guess is as good as mine! We will be meeting with reps from the MTV-U channel which targets college age kids....that channel actually does still play music, and also has documentaries/news etc. We shall see.
This is the website for the Pro-Social Group that we are meeting with...has some good resources for mental health issues on campus etc.

how often are you honest with parents at conferences about their kid being smart? I'd hook all my students up with A+'s and make the slow kids feel like champions. Do your students respect you or make fun of you? I'd love to dominate your class as a guest teacher once if it's at all possible. I'm two credits shy of a social science minor I think so that gives me the requirements to teach high school history...

Didn't try either.not sure they were on the menu. Last time I was there I got seasame chicken. I distinctly remember sitting at the bar eating as I was a party of 1 and I was having an ephiphany.

Hot and sour soup is inconsistent - sometimes it`s too fucking hot and sometimes it`s too sour. However, the right mix is heavenly. You can get get chicken or beef with black sauce on rice noodle, rice or on noodles (which are the thin dried crunchy kind, that soften up when you mix the sauce and meat in). I also love lemon chicken and Szechwan shrimp. Shrimp wonton noodle soup kicks ass too.
I want to compare San Fran`s Chinatown and gay village with Toronto`s. Both of these cities' neighbourhoods are reportedly comparable in terms of size (but T.O. has three Chinatowns). NYC's gay village and Chinatown are rather small - I didn't even know I was in NYC`s gay village... not that there`s anything wrong with that.

That was just alsum!! What a nice way to start the weekend!
Great to talk to you. Next time, let's do a 3 way w/MJK or BH. I need to catch up w/Crazylove, too.
Im not surprised Penny likes 3 ways :P
QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteI'm not sure if it's a joy, but I'm heading to San Fran and the Pacific coast, including LA, in October for a little vacation. I'll also be checking out the EELS at the Fillmore, Alcatraz, Haight-Ashbury etc... I'll also be doing some coastal driving, wine touring and checking out LA/Hollywood sights (I have to do the latter since I'll regret it afterwards). I do want to see an Anaheim Ducks and/or Kings game, but I'm only calling half the shots on this trip. My wife will not go to a football game.
not sure if it's a joy....I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO :-* :-* holy shit man
head north a few miles to Muir Woods :'( :'(tears of JOY !!!!!!!!!
the Big Chicken is right. I was in Sacramento for 2 nights 2 weeks ago and the only thing I wanted to do was to see a Redwood tree (and the ocean). It had been 10 years since I saw a redwood and when I saw one again 2 weeks ago I nearly weeped. Man!
pictures do them no justice, but here's one anyway
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/ycartrob/ResizeofIMG_2686.jpg)
i hate LA but i am headed out to San Fran next weekend, gonna catch Band of Horses and also the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass the following weekend (free in Golden Gate Park). haven't been since my jack kerouac trip back 10 years ago..can't wait to hit City Lights Bookstore and Amoeba Records. i'm also hoping to get out to Sacramento soon. Also wanted to do the Alcatraz nighttime tour but it's sold out the weekends i'm there.
Uh...don't go out of your way to plan much time in Sacramento on a vacation, any of you. Trust me, I live here. ;D
PM me if you'd like any advice on your trip Jaimoe! Penny too! TBC and Tracy ain't lyin' 'bout them redwoods either.
I will PM you closer to when I leave - I start my vacation on the 10th of October. Thanks! I've been drinking Anchor Steam Beer just to get into the spirit of things. We booked a fairly cheap flight yesterday on the normally expensive Air Canada ($800 for two, round-trip). The EELS play Toronto on September 29th, so I might go to both shows. I think I'll review EELS at the Fillmore for the music magazine I write for. Should be a fun trip fer sure.

Thanks. It is a pretty plot of land, but the driveway washes out each spring and our plow guy stuggles on the gravel and ruts, so this should be a huge improvement. I actually met a paving contractor in the hotel lobby after the Essex Jct. MMJ show who set me up with some solid advice and leads to a local paving contractor. Should really look nice, too!
Yeah, thatll be one nice driveway once you get that thing paved Yac..Makes it easier to shovel snow and stuff too...I cant believe how expensive cement is though! :o
Concrete is a pretty hard line of work. Most of my fam is in the business. Hot damn does the work suck tho.
I got Madden 11 for my PS2 yesterday. This is quite a joy because the last copy of Madden that I had been playing was Madden 04 with Michael Vick on the cover. ;D
Numerous Canadian Club and Ginger Ales will be consumed tonight while starting a new Stillers franchise.
Dart League. Getting better, and made lots of new peeps. Anyone every play "5-alive?" That game is fun, and particularly challenging if you play with loops and ladders! So far I've got the hook-ups on the following things from only 2 weeks of darts:
- smoke
- pedal steel for sale and buddies to jam with
- 2 different guys who can work on my Firebird - one to get rid of the ugly cheesy-ass antenna on the front fender that's driving me nuts, and one to get the engine all tuned up
- sweet vintage garage signs and jukeboxes...the guy is world reknowned for restoring old jukeboxes...need to get going on that '45 collection!

This guy's jukebox is LOADED with good stuff. All I remember off the top of my head is Sam Cooke and "Wild Thing," but I'll have to make a list of what he's got on it. I walked in and he was talking to a customer and recommending he play a Sam Cooke song. I was sold on the place immediately. He's seriously the nicest guy in the world. He goes by "Peewee." He's like 70 years old, has more stories than you've got time to hear (in a good way). He owns this ice cream shop/restaurant/antique store that's just straight out of the '50s. I bought some Pontiac signs for the garage and he told me about his jukebox connections.
But yeah, I want one of those jukeboxes in a bad way. He said they go from about $7500 to $10,000. I'll have to look into it more but I'd like one that plays 45's but you could also plug in a USB flash drive or other external source...although that would necessitate some type of touch screen or other keypad that would take away from that vintage look, unless you could hide it somehow when you want to.
I think...if I ever get a date around here...I'll take her to this place :)

Moved my potted herbs around so they get better access to the sun and such. 2 little rosemary plants now constitute a large bush. If I dried it all, it would be several pounds worth of dried rosemary. That's a lot of fucking rosemary. Smells so good. We had a smallish Thai basil plant going. Well, it ain't so small anymore. Damn thing is several feet tall and it now 3 plants. I would be the envy of many Asian resturaunts if they say this bunch. Fall time, time for soups and stews, including the greatest soup of all time; Pho. Can't wait to just walk onto my porch and snip a couple sprigs to steep in my soup.
end of joyous rambling :D

Whoa whoa, did not see the Old Man's Cave part! BEAUTIFUL THERE!! :o :o Have fun at the show and the HIKINGGGG!!!

I'm living near Marietta, OH. Right on the Ohio river on the WV border. Old Man's cave is about an hour from here. We go to Athens or the Athens area pretty often for live music/hiking/biking/what-have-you. I really like that area! I wish we were just a LITTLE closer, but an hour drive isn't bad. Better than the 4 hr drive coming up tonight for BBJr. But yeah, I haven't been to OMC yet but I keep hearing about it! I'll make sure to get some pics.
Where are you living again, Beer? And you, 'Nymph? Anywhere near me?
Fantastic lunch of Bi Cuon (Vietnamese summer rolls), Pho Thai Chin (rice noodle soup with beef brisket and round eye), and Cafe Sua Nong (hot coffee w/Condensed milk - THE greatest coffee beverage know to mankind). Topped it off with a scoop of pistachio and a scoop of dark Mexican chocolate gelatos. Seriously, I thought I was going to have to change my pants from the happiness my body was umm permeating. Doesn't hurt that I was with my 2 (female) BFF's whom I love dearly.
Fucking great start to the weekend.

Hey Hawkeye, have a good time up in Cleveland tonight, and definitely enjoy the beauty of the Hocking Hills area. Old Man's Cave can draw some pretty large crowds, especially this time of year. It is one of the most scenic places in southern Ohio. If you find the crowds aren't to your liking at Old Man's, you might want to check out the Rim Trail at Conkle's Hollow, or head over to Rock House, or Cantwell Cliffs. They are all part of the Hocking Hills region and are all within 30 minutes of each other.
Are you in Marietta for school? We've been in Athens since '92, aside from 3 years down in Wilmington, NC in the late '90's. Athens definitely has some good music moving thru town. I saw the Avett Bros. for the first time back in 2002 or '03, playing at Casa Cantina in front of about 150 people. Good times indeed! We should meet up sometime and catch a show. I'm heading uptown tonight for The Buffalo Killers, they've played here a couple times but I've missed them both times. Looking forward to it. Enjoy the hiking this weekend!

That sounds great and all, but I'm having a really hard time reading all the way through your posts these days. Everytime I start reading a new sentence there is a red object moving to the left of the text that distracts me. Then I forget what I already read and I have to start all over again.

I'm missing the Buffalo Killers tonight?!? Dammit! I love those guys! Saw them once in Dubuque, IA. They were supposed to come through another time but had to cancel for some reason. They played somewhere around there this past spring too, but I was out of town. Just keep missing them. If I weren't going to Bobby Bare Jr. tonight I'd DEFINITELY be seeing you at that show. Yeah, please let me know if you know of any good shows/events going on around the Athens area. We might be doing that train wine tour thing put on by Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville? Probably going to Junior Brown there as well.
I saw Duke Jr and the Smoky Boots and JP Harris and the Tough Choices at Casa Cantina...probably 6 weeks ago or so. Good show!
Cheers!

I almost went to school in Athens BTW. As much as I partied at tiny Westminster though, I'm kind of glad I decided not to go to OU! 8-) I probaly wouldn't have survived past my freshmat year... :P

Y'know, my wife said it looked like I'd Photoshop'd the first picture. It was just by chance that I must've stood in the same spot for both shots. I won't get to drive on it until Sunday, but it really looks nice. Funny, the things you get excited about as you get older. This driveway is the biggest non-MMJ event in my life since my 2 year old was born. Middle age = shifting priorities.

Ha ha old man - I'm in the same boat as you. After a lifetime of doing without, we just got central AC put in our house this weekend (3 months too late for sure)... and I was saying pretty much what you wrote - funny the mundane things that excite me these days. I even checked the weather page hoping for some freakish hot spell to sweep through. But no, actually the heat kicked on last night. Still, for 2011, bring it on global warming!

Nice. My car joy is that I've finally gotten the process going of installing a new intake manifold and 4-bbl carb on my Galaxie. It's all torn apart, just have to break the old intake loose from the block, it doesn't want to leave. If the carb spacer that I got on ebay arrives, I'll have that sucker running this weekend, and ISM will be the first thing blasted from the stereo. :)

The sun has finally resurfaced after 3/4 of an eon of clouds and rain and chilliness in the 'burgh.... and I awoke early today to get a head start on enjoying the sunny warmth... and this led me to finding a framed picture in the Goodwill store for $5 that fits my Pittsburgh Jacket concert poster just right! I also grabbed up the latest Mother Earth News Garden Series mag "How to Grow and Preserve Your Own Food." It is terrific so far and explains so much about farming/homesteading/gardening that I am beside myself and want to go build a cabin this instant :-X How to make your own cider, grow winter tomatoes, how to use cold frames in your garden to extend the growing seasons, best ways to can, freeze, dehydrate, & preserve goodiessss..... not sure that anyone else here is even mildly interested in such things, but this to me is heaven on wheelss....... 8-)

My goodness that is fantastic!!! :o :o That's the life there!! I've been reading up on chickens and goats, etc.. that is AWESOME you guys have some and intend on getting some land!! My biggest hurdle is the WHERE factor.... where are you guys looking???
Speaking of chickens...my coworker has raised two and let her daughter name them. She chose the names Teabag and Todd. Teabag would be the obvious funny coming from a 5 year old, but Todd the Chicken is much more amusing to me. Def puts a smile to my face when I think about it.

Awwwww! Heheh that's super cute :) Wish I had chickens when I was 5!! I'd name them something ridiculous too I'm sure :P Yeah I've been reading up on the different types, different caretaking techniques, egg-laying processes, etc, etc... definitely something I'll be getting into when I have my own land! I'm vegetarian so I wouldn't be raising them for meat, but I tell ya what there's no eggs quite like ones fresh from your own chickens! And they do wonders for fertilizer and lawncare I hear :P

Make sure and check out the New River Gorge Bridge, too.

It was my first time, too, and I did fine. I was on a bachelor party trip and we hadn't had much rest or water, but we all stayed in the raft. There was one time (Sweets Falls maybe?) where I wasn't sure if I had fallen out or not for several seconds. Pure adrenaline!

Gonna hafta scope out Greenwich Village in a fierce way 8-) They tell you which trains run and where to catch 'em...lots of parks and landmarks... even mentions certain cafes & coffee shops! Small fold-out map included!
I'm getting so revved!! :o :o Been listening to Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Beasties, amongst others who bring the NYC vibe.... (and of course that one band that's playin' a show or two.....) Clearin off the memory cards for the camera...
Tomorrow's journey sends me to Woodstock & the Catskill Mts, for some major hangin/hiking/exploring. Might head into the city a little on Friday/Sat/Sun and just "get warmed up" to the concrete jungle. I dunno I ain't a city slicka naturally, but I can make it happen as needed (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/z.gif)
But tomorrow mornin, come rain or shine, that autumn highway's a-callin!

Cue Joni/Woodstock "I'm gonna join in a rock & roll baaaaand I'm gonna camp out-- on the laaaand I'm gonna try and get my soul.... freeeee..."
Cue Bobby D/Tom Thumb's Blues (or Beastie's "Jimmy James" if the mood strikes you) "I'm goin back to New York City I do believe I've had e-nooooooough"

I cant say in over 2 years, but same! I might be staying in the next couple nights, but not sure that equates to less drinking and listening to the Jacket
Feels good to be back, can't wait to see you all in NY [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Had the BEST birthday party today for my daughter's big 6! Beautiful day at the park. Lots of her friends and party envy in the air. aMD and TEO made an appearance! Both bore gifts. One of which was the Best of The Muppet Show...disguised as a gift for the little one, but I know it was really for me! KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY! TEO's new baby is a beaut too!
Hangin' out with Dylan all afternoon...we kept each other going and laughing for HOURS! He also helped me pick out my new bangin' Breedlove Mandolin. They just made JJ a custom guitar with a pearl owl inlay picking up the B with it's talons. Even got to see THEE DOGG! It was a good day and my life is full of joy now...
My wife just ironed 9 of my shirts, made my lunch for tomorrow, and is baking up a storm. I'm a lucky man.
She's a PhD toxicologist, in charge of response to chemical and biological terrorism in NH. Every state has one post 9/11. We're not a big target, but she keeps busy assisting local law enforcement on poisonings and other threats of a chemical nature. Hence her love of baking, another form of chemistry.
She loved Portland, her second MMJ show. She let me (you know what I mean!) go to Birmingham, Nashville, and Atlanta in April to follow MMJ. She's indulged me for over $1000 in Omnichords, amps, and mics. I am a lucky man.

stacking up my retirement bonfire hickory today...
I had a great 9 day vacation in California.
The EELS at the Fillmore was an early hightlight and San Fran is a fun and interesting city - but it was nearly impossible to board cable-cars in mid route and the operators were across the board big assholes (and I was no great fan of the chainstore-domintated commercialized Fisherman's Warf, but the seals were great!). Sonoma/Napa wines were delicious. I was whelmed with Alcatraz (I'm from the most prison-dominated city in Canada, Kingston, so prisons don't shock me too much; but it was impressive). Oh, and god love the IPA choices: Firestone, Stone, some of the draughts at the Magnolia Brewery etc... I was also in awe of the Dead's house and loved the Haight. The Blue Angels during Fleet Week kicked ass and are the best in the world for a reason = awesome! I missed much though: Castro, football/baseball. But I did see Madam Butterfly in San Fran and loved its food and neighbourhoods.
I drove down the coastline from San Fran to LA and stopped in small towns and a few wineries and loved the experience. I know now without a doubt, I could never live in LA, but it was fun visiting that sprawling car-obsessed mess of an area (but Santa Monica minus 3rd Street was nice). Also, that Hearst sure knew how to live - his castle was stunning and the tour was terrific - and seeing elephant seals sparring in the surf was thrilling. I didn't love Hollywood (one or two semi-dense blocks and then highways carving up the area), but certainly loved seeing the sign, the famous hand and footprints and both Kodak Theatre and Warner Brothers tours - I also stopped in at the Whisky, Roxy and Rainbow clubs.
I also enjoyed dining at the world famous Chez Panisse in Berkeley. Overall, it was one of my better trips.

Well, we were kinda a bunch of nutbags
Please forgive me for an afterglow cross post.
I have been listening to this band for almost 7 years now and they have brought me joy that very few bands have been able to replicate over my 32 years. However, the unadulterated joy that was October 18-23, I can confidently say I've never experienced before. The apartment, the people from all over, the city, the music and the unbridled kindness of all created a confluence of energies that set me off on an unmatched 6 day high that was supplemented by only a few drinks and a pretzel or two. Wink
I joined this forum over 2 years ago and found myself returning to more often as time went by because I sensed there were very good people here and the sense of community it brought was real and fulfilling. Throughout that time, I have met members here and there at shows and each person I had met only reinforced my appreciation of this forum and the people here.
So often in the communities of the interwebs, we lack the accountability that should counterbalance the often strong opinions that we espouse. Within this community, a large majority of the people have wanted to be held accountable by actually wanting to meet up together before and after shows, 1st to show how frickin' awesome they are, but also to back up what may otherwise be construed as somewhat hollow, insincere postings on a digital message board. For that, you guys are the best.
I cannot remember the last time I felt so giddy for such a prolonged period of time that can only be compared to excitement of something new that I experienced during my youth, whether it be summer camp or my folks taking me overseas to stay with my families in Japan and India. Sharing that apartment was something else guys. The tiniest of living quarters, 75 minutes waits for the shower, paper thin walls, bedbugs, a shower so small that if you dropped your soap you had to get out to pick it up, and some many other random quirks. BUT, all you roomies made it awesome. That's it. You all know who you are and thanks for making it the best 4 night hotel stay in my life.
So with all that sense of euphoria coursing through me thanks to all the great people I met at McGee's, the venue and elsewhere, the music also happened. That is likely for another thread but needless to say, those were the best 5 concerts of my life. My really close friend from high school who I hadn't seen in two years joined me for Z night. He said he'll be willing to take days off to tour near the NE to Mid Atlantic whenever they come back. Enough said.
Thanks everyone! [smiley=beer.gif]
And I'm not proof reading this. >:(

Very nice, Wiz!
It was difficult for me to turn my front yard back into a lawn. I hated to do it, but it was necessary to sell the house. At least I got a good year out of it. We ended up with 4 grocery bags worth of sweet potatoes not to mention the squash and maters!
it was in the mid-70s with little to no wind today in TN.. so i spent the day out on the lake fishing with my mom and her new man.. who i like quite a bit.. how the hell is it november (practically) and i got a sunburn on my forehead today? awesomely perfect day

Couldnt agree more!
This last week and a half has been hectic with work and stuff, but more than anything I was living off the memories of the week in NYC with all of yinz, and last night finally had to throw some Jacket on and come back here to get the buzz back! That, and I know once I open the Shows sections I knew/know its going to take me 4-5 hours to read thru everything I plan on reading, and today I might finally have the time to do that ;D
Truly great to meet everyone that I did in NYC. Ive never enjoyed being in a 20 x 20 apartment with 10 people more. Not only was it a once in a lifetime experience, but Ive never had an entire week, and everyday of that week (well, except the day I puked, went back to the apt & slept for 18 hours while everyone met the band at Carl's show) be so spectacular and memorable.
Definitely a constant stream of holy fuck! :D

Nice. Here it feels like Fall was almost a non-existent 2 weeks long or so and winter is quickly approaching.
Think Im going up to Lake Erie in the next week or 2 to go fishing before Steelhead season is over. About as excited as I can be for freezing my ass off and likely not catching anything ;D
QuoteBy the way, I have your hat and need your address.
Ruckus told me to tell you to stomp on that hat, pour gasoline on it, set it on fire, sweep up the ashes, put them in the toilet, pee and then flush it all down the toilet. Cool? Thanks.

I'm yet to be a mom, so I'm only going with what I know Scotty. ;)

Aunt > Mom 'cause you get to give 'em back when they start crying. ;D
Also Aunts get to show up with presents and play games and never make you go to your room ;D
I don't know if it's better than 5 MMJ albums in 6 nights...that's close. ;)

I've always said the day I became a dad was the greatest moment of my life. Now, after T5, when people ask, I will STILL say the same thing.
But I'll be a liar..... ;)
;D
I dreamed that I was working in a group home (like an actual group home, not the T5 group home), and Trish was my boss.
It was kind of great though the job itself was kind of tedious.

Nice!
Actually I think it's the ugliest one Wurlitzer made...but for the price, couldn't turn 'er down! Plus the ugliness might grow on me, you know, like an ugly dog or an ugly baby. ;) And there are a few glass "panes" where you can slide your own pictures and stuff to kinda "customize" it.

Nice box Hawkeye...I think it looks vintage more than ugly. You can also slowly accrue quarters from your friends now ;)
You get a new car Tyler?! 350Z's are pretty badass. Id probably get my license revoked if I owned one. Black rims complete that shit.

yeah.. i'm gonna seal the deal with the paperwork tomorrow afternoon.. those pics were taken with a huge coat of dust and dirt on the car on sunday.. i had the guy wash and wax it up for me to look at tomorrow when i come back to make up my mind. i wanna make sure there are no major scratches on the paint

What year is it? Miles? New Tires? Any warranty left? Auto or Manual? Transmission and clutch still feel nice and snappy? I heard there may be a bit of oil burn in older models but nothing to be too concerned with. You might want to ask them about now though in case it comes up later.
it's a 2006.. and automatic transmission (it's the enthusiast model) with 61,000 miles on it and that just tops over the 60,000 drivetrain warranty.. probably why they only want 15k for it. the front tires are brand new and the rear still have quite a bit of tread on them. i'm going to ask quite a few questions tomorrow when i go look at it / drive it again.

of course, try to get the price down if possible. also, tell them upfront you want them to cover any kind of BS handling fee and stuff of that ilk..just signing over a title in your name will cost you at least a few hundy and stuff like that you should be able to get them to cover or include in the 15k.
also, check the car fox if you havent already.

Just picked it up last night!!!!! I'm never going to want to leave my living room! Got 'er all stocked with the best 45's I've got...quite a random selection...I've never bought a 45 before...always figured I'd just go for the full album...but now I've got a reason! And a nice winter project :)
I'm really waiting for that scene in Death Proof to be re-enacted...you know the one ;) Hell, I'm going to have to find that 45 now! (whatever song is playing during that strip-tease scene)
Because it's now winter season, I get to wear a cape to work as part of my work outfit! Rarely have I felt prettier 8-) I think I'm going to have to get one to wear outside of work as well :D

Always fancied a Jag, and the recently-replaced XJ shape is one of my favourites. I think me, the petrol station and the XJR are likely to become a regular threesome over the next few months!

Posted my old car, 99 Audi A6 Quattro on Craigslist today for $1600 (It needs a bunch of repairs)..I have everything set up to sell it for this foreign car parts place for $1000, but I figured why not post it on CL for $1600 and see what happens. Well in the first 6 hours of listing it, I got over 30 people interested, some saying theyll pay more in cash today.
Just raised it to $2100....Let the bidding begin!

Sweet, el duderino!
i'm glad.. because i was on the fence about a new orleans style loft apartment right in the heart of downtown that i'm really DIGGIN'.. (french quarter style courtyard in the back, etc) it was a tad bit outside of my price range but i had enough money saved up to survive for about 4-6 months without renting the other room out. now it's = no problem.. i'm gonna go look at it friday evening.
anyone up for moving down to pensacola and being my roomie?? it's 1200 sq. foot.. plenty big enough
by the way.. my current joy is that i have had the greatest time of my life the last month and a half while on vacation and it all started with all you'unz up in NYC. I'm pretty sure that week primed me for the rest of my time off.. I kept have a need for doing awesome things afterwards to keep the fire going.. thanks guys and happy thanksgiving to all.

Excellent news, meg!
Current joy: wakin' up feeling good and limber, listening to the Alabama Theater 4.20.10 show, just feeling pretty damn happy for the first time in a while. Yay. :)
Waking up to the news of a confirmed Eddie Vedder solo Australian tour for March next year. Yay!!!!!! :o
Today I golfed for the first time (excluding the Wii golf hehe). I suck at driving bit not too shabby at putting. Pretty relaxing though.

Hehehe thank you Lady Lady!! Here's a bundle for you too!! (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/loveshower.gif)
My current joy is right now & has me all riled up, reading about herbalism classesssssss..... there's a woman who lives and teaches in (take a guess) Woodstock! She offers apprenticeships, workshops, and other classes...... and there's a school in Asheville that's looking rather fine/affordable (a friend of mine is moving to A-ville in January too, so a roof over my head may be readily available.....)
I think it's about time I take on some serious earthly lessons (not just teaching myself, for a change....) I think it might be my calling! (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/hiker.gif)
Just started my 10+ hour travel from Deerfield Beach, Fl ( 80 degrees today :)) to Frisco, Co ( 15 below freezing :D). I'll be in the mountains for 2 weeks! The joy will be volunteering snowboard lessons to the wounded warriors, which is my most rewarding week of the year. It's incredible the desire & commitment they put into the week. Last year we had a 40 below day, yet most were suited up ready to go! ;D

10 + hrs door to door. Car - train - now waiting for plane ::) & then back to automobile. I love the drive up to the mountains, 90 mph in my wrx :D. I should get better tires soon though :-/. I tend to drive a bit aggressive, 7 years driving a ups truck in NYC, then 10 years driving a fire truck there will tend to do that to you ;D.
Two joys this morning. Got tix to Eddie Vedder, and got offered the job that I really wanted! No more temping for me!
Yay!!

Hey that sounds
awesome!!! I love playin' in snow (though not a snowboarder......yet!) I like snow-shoeing and mountains and all though! Congrats on a super fun week!
My friend who's moving to Asheville stopped by my work today, and says the offer still stands to room with him if I decide to take the herbalism class down that-a way! So far it sounds like a good opportunity! Gonna do a little more research, but hopefully I'll have my ducks in some sort of row in another week or so! Ayeeee!

I suggested that to mrs Ralph last night and she just turned, looked at me and then turned away! I get the feeling I'm out of credit at the moment!!! Haha...
But thanks for the congrats guys! I'm obviously more excited to see Eddie but at least I can afford the tix now.

Thanks Maggie!! I'm filling out the application for the school tonight and will see where things go from there! I'm excited and kinda anxious about the big step-o-change, but whatever's to be shall be! Considering I was ready to drop everything and camp off CA Hwy 1 just a few months ago, I guess it's not THAT big of a change! :P The classes offered down there seem like a perfect match for my lifestyle, so that surely stands for something! Will update as things get rollin! :)
This weekend was just....stellar. However, this week I am venturing to DC for a holiday party with some friends. The cherry on top of all of this is that ALady (and Sassbox) will be in said city. My reaction to that is the following:

Oh, this just make it SO much easier for the rest of us to take! Guess I should have thrown a hissy fit when a few of my co-workers went to Germany for a week. Not that I haven't done my share of work-related traveling, mind you -- garden spots like Fort Dodge, IA, Fort Wayne, IN, and Piggott, AR being among the exotic locales I've been sent to. So I'm not bitter.
Just kidding, have a great time, I know you will.
Yeah, still bitter. ;)

Coffee and Red Headed Stranger followed by some Phosphorescent on a Saturday morning :)
Not sure if I've ever touted this brand on here before, but this coffee is just absolutely amazing.

I've got Kenya Gichathaini, Kenya Thiriku, and one from Ethiopia that's not on there right now, and they're all. just. excellent.
Oh, and dating the new office cutie is nice too. I know, I know, don't date anyone at work, but at least we're in different departments? And it's a small town with limited options so screw it.
Woohoo, Hawkeye! Well done amigo 8-)
And yeah - Intelligentsia is delish. :)

Can't wait to visit My Brother in Jackethood...
Just got a HUGE side scrap job....right before Xmas too... I REALLY needed it.....already working 2 jobs.....talk about some LONG days....so HAPPY ! :)
I inherited all my grandpa's guitars after he passed away this August. He had a couple of old Alvarezs and a Gibson that I've always wanted since I've been playing. After spending a few days on numerous vintage guitar websites, I decided my grandpa's Gibson was a fake. But it has a ton of sentimental value to me because my grandpa was the person who started me on guitar. The only problem with the guitar was that it was right-handed and I play left so I had some guys put in a new nut and a couple other things so that I could play the guitar left-handed. I just got the guitar back today and I been playing for the last couple hours. I'll never get rid of the guitar even if it's a fake.
That's wonderful news Meg. :)
My joy has been my family, and our home. We've been having a lot of fires in the evening when I get home from work, with all of us just laying close on the floor in the fire's warmth, reading books to our son, playing music, and talking about our little girl who'll be with us soon. It's been really nice, and the quiet, cozy evenings have been perfect for us before the madness of a newborn hits (again!).

1) Very nice Bbill. I've got some Celebration Ale in the fridge too!
2) Woodynymph - Asheville, NC right? Question: do people know how to drive in the snow there? Our company has an office in Marietta, OH and Asheville, NC. Asheville can get hardly any snow and their work is cancelled or they get let out early (with pay) or they get gift cards to stay and work. Marietta today has received at least 3-4 inches (not a lot by what I'm used to in Iowa) and it's still coming down and nothing. One morning they were 2 degrees colder than here and had a 2 hour delay due to cold. Just an insane number of double standards between the two facilities. Congrats tho Woody!
Current Joys: my Christmas tree, a jukebox loaded with Christmas 45's, eggnog, apple butter (homemade and delicious), no dart-league tonight...time to cuddle up with a special someone instead :)

Hahahahah I may or may not be able to answer that! If I'm accepted to the school, it won't be until March, and those minor flurries may be long gone! We don't usually get a whole ton of snow in Pittsburgh (minus last February :-X :-X) But I feel living here all my life has taught me a thing or two about handling my car! I feel quite a bit more prepared for snow driving this year too, what with my new(to me) Forester! (tho I've failed to launch her with snow tires thus far...) So if they're still struggling by March, maybe I can help set 'em straight. Sounds like you might need to move there too for such winter perks! :P
I like your current joys too, Hawk! That's what I call a good day!!!
I have successfully made it through week one of quitting cigarettes. I have not been too surly, but damn! Cigarettes keep trying to call my name. But the tobacco industry will not win this battle with me. This time it is for keeps and that realization brings me great joy.

You are not alone. I fell off the wagon in April, but am weening off to be cigarette free in a few days. I was thinking of starting a support thread and see if we could get others to quit (misery loves company). Good luck. You'll do it. I'll join ya!
Officially on Christmas holidays! Beer is in hand, the sun is out. Hacienda on the stereo. Joy!
Just wanted to copy and paste from the old forum, it was the last posts I made and probably got overlooked.
Quote from: 37323D303A3D340C3F3C272620530 link=1156263777/5190#5199 date=1293084209Quote from: 03252232570 link=1156263777/5190#5198 date=1293080964So I was taking a drive on some back roads and saw a baby owl standing in the middle of the road. I drove past and then turned around to get a better look. I got out of my car and got like 2 feet from him! His head was turned at the time and when he looked at me he flew away before I could get a picture. I hear owls all the time at night but never see them, so it was cool to get that close to one.
Oh WOW! I'd love to know where you were around the 'burgh when you spotted it!!! On my way to watch the eclipse the other night, I was driving my friend Em to the overlook, and she says "WHOA, A BIG BIRD!" But it was 2am, and it was a real curvy road, and I didn't see a thing... but at 2am I would imagine it was an owl! She just saw it swoop into the woods, but couldn't make out for sure what it was. I can honestly say I've never seen one in the Wild. That is SO NEAT it let you get so CLOSE!!! What did he look like?! Wow what a powerful thing.. I feel owls are so symbolic.
[size=9]P.S. did you put him in your pocket? :)[/size]
I live outside the burgh near Greensburg PA in Westmoreland County. There's some woodsy areas and farmland here. I was on some back roads after work on a smoke ride. He was small, almost twice the size of the one in the pic below. He must've been just old enough to be on his own. I had my headlights shining right on him, so I got a great look at him. His head was twisted away at a crazy angle, so he must've not known I was so close. When he turned around he looked me right in the eyes for a second, and then took off quickly. It was surreal.

11 days in and I still wake up thinking about having a smoke. Haven't though: sounds gross, smells gross, and will definitely taste gross. But all those chemical additives are nasty, nasty, nasty. I hate the g*d damn tobacco industry. >:(

Currently sitting in the sun, drinking Coopers Pale Ale listening to Hi Fi Way by You Am I with Mrs Ralph (old love!!!). Sometimes it's just the little things...
The Tennessee Fire + At Dawn + Xmas Fiasco Style + Ch 1 and 2 + At Dawn and Tennessee Fire Demos Package just got added to Spotify! Woop, wooop, thanks whoever made it happen! ♥ :D
I just wannnnted to sayyyyeeeee.....
I didn't see the new years thread, I suck!!! >>>moving my previous-posted 'current joy' over to the new years section so it fits, sorry!!
But I *am* currently joyful of my plans to move to Asheville to go to herbology school working out!! I'm already started to 'prep' for it and plan on what to take for the few months I'll be down there, and I've looked up OODLES of awesome national parks and trails etc to explore... and the Asheville Arboretum! What! It's gonna be a nuts experience, can't wait!!
--hanging with Mr. Ruckus on Saturday in Philly
--3 DBT shows, exhausted, slightly deaf
--the holidays are over
PS congrats Woodnymph!! I may be seeing you in Asheville at some point!
Congrats, Woodnymph! Sounds like an awesome program. Asheville in a great place to be.
My current joy, my students got me a Flip camera for xmas! I came really close to buying one for myself but I'm glad I didn't.
I'm a finalist for a pretty sweet national award.
I kicked influenza's ass and I finally got my voice back!
I got an android phone, and it is the shit.
I got a raise.
I am going to a monster truck rally this weekend--seriously.
:D
also: this exists, and it is glorious.

Sweet news, Meg!!! What national award?!? That sounds big!!
Penny thank ya much! And when are you pullin' through Asheville!! I'll be there March-June! :o :o
And thanks aMD, I'm stoked beyond stoked to dig into some earth and plants and nature!!! All my friends say it's a place I should be........ And geez congrats on scoring the Flip camera!! What awesome students!!!
Hooray Meg! Whoop like you mean it at them monster trucks.
My current joy is wearing my newly refurbished grandma-knitted stocking cap (ex-gf's grandma, but a grandmother nonetheless). It was thoughtfully, kindly, and swiftly repaired and be-tasseled by our own fantastic (and newly crutchless) ms yvon, who completely rocks like no other. Thanks, ms y!
Awww! That makes my heart smile. Three cheers for yvon! :)
We have a lot of goodness going around this board. Way to go meg and woodnymph. :)
Way to fix the toboggan ms y. :)
My current joy is that it's Farm Show week here in Central PA. It's a HUGE expo for state farmers, but everyone goes for the food. Deep fried vegetables, potato donuts, milkshakes, honey waffles, pulled pork sandwiches, apple dumplings, maple sundaes. Mmmm. Nom.

They are the best! I am blessed with a few of those friends, and I swear they make it all better......and if they are really good, they even manage to make me laugh about my neuroses.
I got a PM recently where someone asked me how my Mom was doing. I figure it was time for an update.
I'd posted a while back that she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer. I cancelled my trip to see MMJ in Holyoke due to her surgery.
We're good with beating the odds, as my Dad has survived a form of pancreatic cancer with about 2% survival rate after 5 years (he's been deemed cancer-free and was first diagnosed about 7 years ago).
Well, after the surgery and some genetic testing, my Mom avoided chemo and, while still smarting from the radiation, she's pretty much cancer-free! Docs say, statistically, there's a 6% chance of recurrence, but it looks good!
Thanks for all of the kind words. I told her about you guys and she appreciates it, too.
That's fantastic news!
Great to hear that, Johnny!
Cancer free---woo hoo!!! Thanks for the update :)
Great news JY!
Woo Hooo! Great news JY! :)
Fantastic Yac!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;Dgreat news Johnny !!!!!!!!
Awesome news Johnny!
Holy moly Johnny!! That's spectacular news!! So glad to hear all of that!! ;D ;D
Great to hear Johnny!!! :)
Hey guys! Well after being a complete loser with no life for the past two months trying to work my tush off for work, I can now say that I am a 2010 sales goal achiever. I'm only 1 out of 12 in the entire northeast to make my number so I'm pretty damn happy about it.

Can the city handle you awesome gals going out on the town together? I have my doubts. ;)
1 hour left of work, then the weekend off and Steelers-Ratbirds looming tomorrow...Im too effin' psyched. Feels like super bowl weekend.
Brooke and Val ~ Hope you gals had fun tonight / are still having fun!! I'm with Ky, I have my doubts as well! :P
My currentest joy is buying 2 new trekking poles from REI tonight (for almost freeeee!) I had $81 in my REI account dividend from '09 still, and the poles were $90! I've found the last few years that trekking poles while hiking are like having an additional two legs to help you balance your weight all over the trails... Goin' on a hike this Sunday around Raccoon Park with a group of like-minded folks, and looking very forward to finally getting out into some woods again! Yee-ha!
Finally a Saturday off. Going to clean my chicken coop out and spend some time with my birds. Going to try and post some pics soon. Also, heard back from a job I applied for ! Hope I can quit my warehouse job and take this delivery position. Heres hoping for me ???

Seconded - good luck, BigChicken! I might have already asked, but what kind of chickens do you have?
Current joy: thinking about getting a bunny. Probably not but maybe. I wandered into a pet store this morning cos they had some six week old bunnehs in the window. So cute!
It was a joy to hang out with you brooke! Though those last few drinks at sonny's and that joint mixed with tabacco totally did me in for today. :P

Oh man what kind of chickens does a BigChicken have, and how many??? Heheh I'm trying to read about the different breeds and how to care for them, etc. Hopefully to have a few of my own someday! So you're in FL or I'd ask what your technique for giving them water is in the winter, but you don't likely ever deal with water freezing or them picking at it and splashing it all around and making ice everywhere! Def. post some pics, I'd love to see your coop layout! (And best of luck on the delivery position!) :)

My brother lives on a farm and has chickens! Pretty sure you just have to change the water everyday, it probably doesn't freeze that fast. Plus they're in a coop that gives them some warmth.

Nice, Truth! Yeah I guess it would just take some experimenting and keeping an eye on everything to make sure things were going smooth... very cool he's got a farm!
Big hike tomorrow! (if it doesn't snow too much tonight... nothin' like that Tahoe snow for sure!!) but there's a big part of me that wouldn't mind just sleepin' in under the warm fuzzy covers and not fishtailin' out to Raccoon Park on the highway for an hour :) I'll snap a pic or two of the frozen lake if I go, sure is lovely 8)

Love Rhode Islands! Sweet birds.
Hey thanks Maggie! It. waaaas. AWESOME! It was a perfect day by winter standards (24 degrees, so no slushy trails, etc... ) (and you really heat up after the first 20-30 mins....) 50/50 clouds-to-sun ratio, not blindingly bright but not grey... and super kind people (+2 doggehs!) Couldn't find the camera this a.m. though, but here's a shot of the mineral springs, via cellular:

Simply brilliant! My wife & I have had many similar evenings. Although we usually nix the beer & consume copius amounts of "Caucasians"
"She's not my special lady, she's my fucking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive, man."
Gotta love The Dude, cause The Dude abides....
Hey, did Braden have his little girl yet? Wondering what "M" name they chose... ::)
Hung out with Curtis McCubbin tonight. Some of you old time peeps may remember him. He has a new band and I covered their gig. Always fun to hook up with peeps. Going to the Punch Brothers tomorrow for free with someone from the boards too and hopefully meeting up with TEO and CrazyLove. Good times. :beer:

Yay! It arrived... Very interested to know what you think!
Thought I had to pull a double today and work both jobs... so I went out after job #1 and treated myself to some Indian food, figuring I'd need extra energy to keep me pumpin through the night on a potentially busy night at my restaurant job..... only to get to job #2 and they go "Jen? What're you doing here??"
Then I thought it was a really mean trick, but when I looked, I'm actually on for TOMORROW night! So I gots the night off :-D!!
And I cleaned up a lot of crap outta my room last night, and my room feels awesommmmmme
AND the guy I work with at the health food store loaned me Van Morrison's album "Pay the Devil," and it sounds great and mellowwwwwww on my surprise night off 8)
Went to see Donald Glover of the tv show Community do stand-up last night...Met him after the show...This guy is funny as hell and just the sweetest gentleman! :)
SURPRISE PACKAGES FROM FLOR-IDIA AWAITED MY ARRIVAL HOME FROM WORK TODAY!!!
I was having a rough day... hadn't slept enough last night and was sportin' a bit of a headache and fatigue-ness...when I opened my door and, glowing and radiating awesomeness, were two beautiful packages that I dropped all my bags and peeled open in amazement!
Their contents made my heart content, and are still making my heart content, and will continue to do so! (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/loveshower.gif)
Just got this email from my Jamaican co-worker:
I am so much more in love w/ Jim James I am now obsesses w/ at dawn....i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that song honest man

Happy Chinese New Year!
Led a hike today about 3-4 miles to a local cave! Great people (some from that last winter hike I excitedly posted about) Great day for it, and we wound up seeing 5-10 bats huddled on the ceiling of the cave! Can't wait to post pics!! :D
My pick, Green Bay, wins! 8)
Well, we've got a fourth little member to our family! Little baby girl bbill is almost 3 weeks old now. She and Mama are doing just fine, and her big brother is actually being pretty sweet with her, and isn't too bent out of shape that he has to share our attention with her now. We're all pretty tired, but very happy. :)

Thanks and NO! We aren't going to find out with this one. We did with our first but wanted to try and make this one a different experience. I'd like a little girl but obviously won't be dissapointed either way. Although my wife did tell me this weekend that if it's not a girl, she'd like to try one more time. The idea of two kids is kind of overwhelming to me right now - the thought of three is almost terrifying... ;D
A couple of great names there!

I know a lot of it has to do with the difference in age, but two for us has created some pretty overwhelming situations (our son is only 2). I've got it easy too - my wife is home all day with the two of them, and is also the one up feeding little girl all night. She's doing an awesome job. :-*
We're not making any final decisions at this point, but having one of each would make it pretty easy to stop at two. We'll see...three does seem to be insane. It makes me realize how tough both of my grandmothers were, both mothers of 5.

And congrats to you Jon. T! :beer: You guys know what you're having?
Thanks and NO! We aren't going to find out with this one. We did with our first but wanted to try and make this one a different experience. I'd like a little girl but obviously won't be dissapointed either way. Although my wife did tell me this weekend that if it's not a girl, she'd like to try one more time. The idea of two kids is kind of overwhelming to me right now - the thought of three is almost terrifying... ;D
I know a lot of it has to do with the difference in age, but two for us has created some pretty overwhelming situations (our son is only 2). I've got it easy too - my wife is home all day with the two of them, and is also the one up feeding little girl all night. She's doing an awesome job. :-*
We're not making any final decisions at this point, but having one of each would make it pretty easy to stop at two. We'll see...three does seem to be insane. It makes me realize how tough both of my grandmothers were, both mothers of 5.
Congrats. I think 2 is easier than 1 (at least after the 1st couple of months with the new one and as long as they are somewhat close in age). They entertain the living hell out of each other. I think people who go to 3 are somewhat crazy.

Well, we've got a fourth little member to our family! Little baby girl bbill is almost 3 weeks old now. She and Mama are doing just fine, and her big brother is actually being pretty sweet with her, and isn't too bent out of shape that he has to share our attention with her now. We're all pretty tired, but very happy. :)
Congrats to you and your family! :)

Of course it's still on my stickshift. Where else would it be? ;)
I'm home today with Lauren, my 2 1/2 year old and third daughter (yeah, those of us with 3 ARE crazy). She's in day 3 of feeling really crummy.
I was sending an email to work, came back downstairs, and found she had gone poop in the potty, all by herself! Not the first time using the potty; she wears undies during her waking hours. But I'm so proud of her listening to her body and taking care of business with total independence. Not bad for 2.5 years young!
Here she is, potty star of the day!

John, she is a beautiful super-duper pooper.
Congrats Bbill and Jon T!! Maybe when Im a bit older I'll want a daughter, but Id be perfectly fine with 2 sons and not having to deal with crazy pre-teen & teenage daughter(s) and the guys trying to get with them.
Nice with your daughter Yac..Thats reminds me, I need to break out my "Whats your Poo Telling You?" daily calendar I got for Xmas.
First and Foremost! Congrats Bbill!!! :D :D And Johnny your daughter is just a little cutie for sure!! That's got to be a sweet feeling to know they're "gettin the hang of things" heh
Thirdly, Jon that is an AWESOME bracelet! Way sweet!
And fourthly the cave hike I led last week was awesome, and we had a great day for it and hiked around 4 miles or so... here's a snapshot of the inside of the cave! (Can't wait to post a pic or two of the BATS!!!) (No joke, they were awesome)

It reached over 70 degrees on this fine day in February. A day that brought the following news:
1. MMJ is playing VH1 Storytellers and I can't go but lots of my forum friends will be there I know!
(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSNVTtwO2bR7ipAxKabLbKGGTTzWg8-DsWcc9QmzXFYD8j1F63pQA&t=1)
2. My favorite Formula 1 driver, Nick Heidfeld, will be back behind the wheel this year with a solid Lotus Renault team!
(http://www.auto123.com/ArtImages/127864/heidfeld-inline.jpg)
3. Albert Pujols signed a 300 million dollar extension! (OK that didn't happen unfortunately but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.)

Had a patient yesterday, David Schubert, dont remember his age but he was probably around 90...First thing he says to the girl helping me get him into bed is "How u doin? Youre pretty"...Next thing is he says is "did you know my great-grandfather was Franz Schubert?"...The octogenarian pick-up game cracked me up, but it was also rather awesome to meet a descendent of a legendary classical pianist. Nice guy, too.
Went to a Five Guys last week that's on the way of my 2hr school commute, got some fries and a drink. Drove past it again today for class this week, went in with my empty plastic cup from last week and got another free refill..It felt really awesome, I probably got a semi from the rush of drink theft.
Seeing Dr. Dog tomorrow for the first time
Green Tea & Dark Chocolate :coffee:
If anyone gets bored, check out these pictures. They are of a tribute for Yancy Spencer, a local guy and national surfing legend who just passed away last week. Had a heart attack after surfing out in Malibu, I believe. Kind of a poetic way for him to go. He was known as best surfer on the east coast. Super, super nice guy. Treated everyone the same, regardless of surfing talent. Just a real ambassador for the sport. Very spirtual guy, and opened up some very successful surf shops in the panhandle area by the name of Innerlight. If you've been to the Florida panhandle, chances are you've been to one of his surf shops. Anyway, these pictures are very cool. The are of a "paddle out" which is when you paddle out on anything you can and form a circle in the water and share stories, leave flowers, splash water over yourself or whatever else you feel necessary. Very humbling tribute.

This last weekend was opening weekend for Oklahoma State baseball. I'd been having baseball withdraws since the Monday after Super Bowl. It was great to get outside and enjoy the game with friends. Not sure how good we will be but I'm always ready for baseball at the end of winter.

man jon... i had no idea this was going on but i would have probably gone if i had. i'm not very big into surfing but i do remember the occasional stops i'd make at the Innerlight shop in gulf breeze for beach apparel, and seeing all the pictures of Yancy on the walls. I believe that is the original "innerlight", no? he seemed like a really genuine guy based on all the accounts i've heard of him.
very cool photos of a ceremonial thing i was previously oblivious to.. thanks for sharin'

No problem, man. Glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was fitting as Current Joy. As sad as it is for someone to go early (he was 60), he lived a pretty awesome life and died doing what he loved. It's a pretty neat story and you can find a lot of articles about him on pnj.com. Also, my wife showed me one of his son's facebook page. It's pretty moving to read all of the comments and especially his son's status updates throughout the week. You can search for Yancy Spencer. That was his son's name too, (not a private profile).
Anwyay, yes, great guy. The orignal Innerlight was in Gulf Breeze, yes. Although not in the same spot that it is now.
weather was absolutely amazing today in FL. I spent my President's Day off work fishing on the beach in Perdido Key, where I caught my first ever salt water fish and also a pretty sweet amount of tan.
(http://i51.tinypic.com/ifs9yd.jpg)
Wow Tyler congrats! Shewt! :o
Aaaaand on a very similar note (j/k)....... my current joys (in a snowy-ass Pittsburgh) may include the following:
a.)I made it home alive with no accidents caused by myself or others
b.)I pushed my boss's car halfway up a hill (with MY car, mind you!) when we all left work together tonight and I saw he was stuck. I offered to drive his car while he pushed it, and that was a feeble attempt.... so he suggested I creep up behind his car and push him with my car.... and it was a success! ....I only have one more week of work left before I move to Asheville, but maybe I could get a bonus check now please??!? ::) :P
Hope everyone else in the snow realm are ok today! :)

Nice Redfish! Those things are fun as hell to fight, aren't they. Stong little suckers. Did you eat it? Those things blacken up real nicelike.
That's a sweet Red! Now Jon, you know that there's no way he ate that monster - it's about a foot over the slot. Did you catch that off of the beach?

Yeah, definitely. For some reason I was thinking slot was 18-36 inches. But, it's 18-27. What was that JT? 32 inches?

It was 36, guys. And according to my friend you can bag any type of drum (1 per day) up to that size.
Happy Margarita Day, guys! Celebrating it in full force tonight.

btw i dont think a 36 inch drum would be a good size fish for eatin'.. unless you are a redneck and could care less about taste and more about puttin more food on the tables.. which there are alot of those around these parts.. so

Well, I'm not sure about that - I've never eaten a red that big, but I did eat a 27" one about 2 months ago (it was close; we had to push his lips in to make him legal) and I found the taste to be quite delightful. Blackened and eaten with my hands straight out of the cast-iron skillet - nothing else. Best fish ever.
Better check with your friend again, I think he must just be hungry - you can't keep any red over 27"; at least not down here.

It's definitely 18-27 in FL. I think AL might let you keep one over slot.

We really don't get 'em down here. At least not that I know of, unless you want you but frozen ones at Publix. I do occasionally buy the frozen cooked tail meet and make Roban sauce with 'em. Sauteed garlic, half Alfredo / half cream, cayenne, blackened redfish seasoning, handful of chopped green onions. Throw the tails in at the end to heat.
You can put that shit on anything - but it's great on pasta or over the above-mentioned blackened redfish. I miss just about everything about P'cola, but Springtime crawfish boils are in my top 3.

I agree. At first, as with all celebrities having these kind of issues I start to think "who the hell do they think they are?" Then the clinician voice kicks in and it stops being funny. I mean why is the Today show (and all media for that matter) giving this guy a platform when he is so clearly sick. Granted it doesn't warrant him to be such an asshole, but those with substance issues, mental health issues and those with axis II issues don't typically exercise sound judgement and/or insight when they are in the throes of stressful situation or a possible manic/depressive/psychotic/drug-induced episode.
That's the difficulty in empathizing with people with these illnesses...but giving such a drug-addicted narcissist free reign to speak out in a grandiose and delusional state is a sad form of entertainment for so many.
His commentary is pretty priceless though isn't it?

Went to a Five Guys last week that's on the way of my 2hr school commute, got some fries and a drink. Drove past it again today for class this week, went in with my empty plastic cup from last week and got another free refill..It felt really awesome, I probably got a semi from the rush of drink theft.
Did this the following weds or thurs too..Tried again this week and got picked off by an employee even though I only did it 3 times over month ;D
I wanted to say "How much $$ does Five Guys make? How much do you make? And you really care about me refilling my drink?" or possibly "Im impressed. I might have tell your boss to promote you to assistant manager?"...I was in too good a mood to be an ass though, so instead I just said "hey, it says free refills doesnt it?" and about 10 seconds later just threw my cup away and walked out.
Im still amazed that this superworker was able to identify me with how infrequently I did this ;D

weather was absolutely amazing today in FL. I spent my President's Day off work fishing on the beach in Perdido Key, where I caught my first ever salt water fish and also a pretty sweet amount of tan.
(http://i51.tinypic.com/ifs9yd.jpg)
Nice catch man!! Ive yet to saltwater fish myself, but hope to sometime too. In reality, I should hit up the streams more often around here to get better anyway. I hope/plan to fish much more this year as some great streams will be within 15minutes driving distance. How's FLA treatin you?

Nice to both of yinz..New Glarus is the one that brews Spotted Cow, right? Good stuff.
Buddy of mine started brewing recently. I definitely want to give it a shot at some point, but everything is way to chaotic for me now to think about doing anything with beer besides drinking it :beer:

Heard the single off his new one a few weeks ago. It was solid. His solo stuff is probably better than his work with that other band he was in

Phenomenal Ruckus,
My fiancee and I were discussing last night about how awesome it is to rediscover RUSH every so often bc they live in their own musical stratosphere. It's weird too bc I own all of their albums. We need to recreate a RUSH thread.

(smaller than the 'burgh by far, but larger than Woodstock) (of course, heh) Can't wait for these farmers' markets to start kickin'! And the Herb Festival at the end of April.... and there was a blue heron in the backyard this morning! I like the line I saw Brooke use in an earlier thread.....

And Ky thanks too for the sweet well-wishin!! I hope to see ya at Mt. Jam if I make it!!!! :o And hope to see Trish and Penny at Hang-Aht fest!! Ayeeee!!! :o
Hey, Woodnymph, I have been to Asheville several times and it's a sweet town. All of my visits were before I got psycho about mountain biking, but I hear that the Tsali trails are some of the best in the good ol' US of A. I know you like to hike, so you're probably on top of it already. I hope to make it to Tsali sometime soon. Also, Chimney Rock and Lake Lure make for a good visit.

Hey thanks for the info and links!! I actually haven't heard of the Tsali trails yet! My roommate and friends who live down here have been kidnapping me to take me on various tours around town. So my roommate is away this whole week for work, and I'm finally settling into my own realm again and pressing forward on a job-finding mission! 8)
But in between the job search, I'm definitely planning to hike around once this weird rainy weather breaks (which should be tomorrow!) The Tsali area looks and sounds GORGEOUS! I really really love that all of the trails are single-track!! They each become their own adventure, with a set beginning and a set destination! All really great lengths too, imo.
The area seems pretty plush for mt. biking too for sure! Lake Lure area is just outstanding too, from my short visit there a few years ago... that was the area I unknowingly followed a trail on, during a music festival, and wound up a short distance away, at the top of a 70-75 ft. waterfall. DEFINITELY WANT TO GO BACK!!! Thanks for the good look!!!
The Orange Peel sounds like the place to be for music! I've been hearing about the place for-eeeeeverrrr, on jambase and through the grapevine of friends who've caught some great shows there! Can't wait to check it out!
And I've yet to check out Chimney Rock!! The link to it that you gave is awesome!
CAN'T WAIT TO EXPLORE EVERYTHING!! Thanks again for the info!! :D

I'm guessing the days when MMJ would play The Orange Peel may have passed. I knew they'd been there before and was surprised it was as "recent" as '07:
2007-03-08 The Orange Peel - Asheville, NC
1. One Big Holiday
2. What A Wonderful Man
3. Dancefloors
4. Lowdown
5. Masterplan
6. Lay Low
7. Wordless Chorus
8. Phone Went West
9. Cobra
10. Golden
11. The Way That He Sings
12. Dondante
13. Off The Record
14. Run Thru
15. They Ran
----------
16. Nashville To Kentucky
17. Gideon
18. Steam Engine
19. Mahgeetah
20. Anytime
Looks like some great shows are coming, though. I lived in NC for 11 years, and loved how Asheville reminded me of my native NH- mountains and some real winter weather. Have fun!

Now is the perfect time to go. Well, unless you're in your early 20's, with all of your college friends, and are interested in what whip-its the size of hot-air balloons can do to your brain cells.
After the silliness dies down and the filth has been swept from the street, New Orleans is like no place on Earth. Do the touristy shit - it's worth it. Then stray a few blocks from the Quarter and discover little places that will light your soul on fire. Every time I went, I didn't want to leave.

I can't count how many times I've been to New Orleans and it's always been a good time but up until my last visit I had never really ventured out off Bourbon St. too much, other than concerts at Tips or UNO. We went a few months ago and saw a whole new side of it that I had not experienced. We stayed at a B&B in the gay district which was interesting to say the least, but actually pretty cool. We ate at some unreal restaurants and ended up at DBA on Frenchman street. A couple of the guys from Galactic were randomly playing with one of the side projects, "Good Enough for Good Times". Anyway, it was by far my favorite experience in NO. My wife and I have already decided that that's going to be where we catch MMJ if and when their tour.
Like Soup said, you have to see Bourbon street but the real soul of NO is in other areas.
I'm going to NOLA for Jazzfest this year. Can't wait! Me and 1-3 buddies.
Other current joy:
Skiing. Finally getting the hang of it. I've gone 4 times now and can at least make it down the blue hills...no black diamonds yet...but last time I made a trip through the woods and went over my first (small) jump! Woohoo! And then there's always the hot tub shenanigans back at the cabin :beer:

But that is SO Rush! Great vid. I was finally drawn to it by your "noob" call. I'd like to think I don't qualify, but realized I hadn't checked it out yet. Amazing. I've never seen Rush live, but I have an idea as to what I am missing. Are they still touring?
EDIT: I see they're quite busy, actually. Nothing close, though. Louisville, Greensboro, Nashville, Greenville, NYC- MSG, Europe. No New England dates. :(

Johnny. You MUST see Rush live once. You will never have been surrounded by more socially inept, unattractive men than at a Rush show. To think that this prolific a band is still touring after 40 years and still killing it with just the three of them is unheard of. We may never see another band do that again.I know Tracy's hittin' Nashville and I'll be going to the 1st Mariner Arena show on 4/22.
And yes...nobody should subject themselves to Geddy's faux Patois

;D I just wanted to make sure that any Rush noob that chose to view this avoided that horrific reggaed out post jam verse. :-X
Yeah, I heard a split second of them going into that and I shut it down. They're nerds. Period. And they know it, and they don't care.

Hahahahah so I saw this comment.... and I'll just say that from 4:25 - 4:47 was the longest frame of time that I've ever enjoyed listening to them! No offense, Rushers!! Maybe this is the start of a beautiful relationship between I & I (I mean RUSH and I!!!) ;D heheheh just for the record, I've always dug a lot of their lyrics... my friend would always tell me or write me the lyrics, and I remember liking them a lot.... but just couldn't get into the jammaggggeee
Did somebody say "Reggae Rush Vol. 1?!?" :P

Relaxing on the porch in the sun all day... watched a huge fish jump around in the lake, had the blue heron visitor hang out a bit again(!), chilled with the neighbor's cat a bit... did a little gardening and mixed up my homemade compost bucket (which is off to a nice start!) Might be visiting the Blue Ridge Parkway this evening for the sunset..... and making a batch of lentil soup for dinner 8) Lovely day!!

That sounds perfect!
My current joy is two weeks off work with three Eddie Vedder shows, another Justin Townes Earle show and a possible Foo Fighters show. Busy indeed.

Glad you caught it!!!

Speaking of great dog-type names, I used to have a Peek-a-Poo (choice spelling) when I was a kid, and she actually looked somewhat similar to that Doodle!
And her name shall beeeeee.................. ?? :)

THAT'S AMOOOORRREEEE hahahahahhahah good christ don't you know that was in my head like 3/4 of the evening waiting for the moon to come up hahahah I kept defaulting to it. But I kept trying to dig for other moon-themed songs instead, each time I caught myself singing that. We had a pretty good moon-song list by the end of the night! But that one, that's a sticker-arounder :P

I have been sober 2 years today....not one drop. I quit cold turkey and haven't looked back. Not a day goes by that I don't thank my lucky stars for having the guts to quit drinking. It was such a huge part of my life. I grew up with two functional alcohlics for parents. They are both deceased . I wish they were here to see me sober. The only thing I regret is not quitting sooner than I did. If any of you out there are considering quitting, you want regret it. Never did the AA thing and I NEVER preach to people about the demons of alcohol. If any of you need a shoulder to lean on then shoot me a pm. I'm always here for you guys !

I JUST HAD THAT ON LAST NIGHT and I thought to myself "Crap that's one I missed!!!!" That's so funny you'd been thinking of it all along! /added to noggin. There we go.
Congrats TBC!! That's a huge accomplishment that I can't say I currently know anyone else who's been able to do the same. It's never too late! Like PL said, your folks would definitely be proud :)
And I'd just like to throw in the current joy mix that my move to Asheville has been a hot tamale! The place is a vortex, surrounded by mountains on every side. One of the first businesses I saw the day I moved here is called Lothlorien. I might have a side job teaching about herbs at a place called EagleDove Greenhouse, and I'm currently helping an amazingly nice lady with her gardening & yardwork needs. She's got 4 hens and some chickies waiting to hatch come April! Having a second interview on Monday at a garden center (think I got it!!) And herb class has been supernatural ;) (Thanks for askin Maggie! How've YOU been!!? I keep seein' shows lining up in Chi town, and I think of how lucky ya are up there! :-D )
Way to go, John!
I'm looking through my tickets for upcoming events and watching my summer come together. It dawned on me last night that this may be my last teacher summer and I need to live it up!
4-1 WSP at the Palace
4-4 Reds game, VIP seats
4-17 MMJ in Lexington
6-17 MMJ in Chicago
8-3 Flaming Lips and Primus at Red Rocks
8-4 MMJ at Red Rocks
8-6 Rockies game with forum peeps
That's a pretty good start!
Damn, Dylan. I'm jealous!

2. Felice Brothers show last night (new material sounds GREAT!)
3. 2 good runs in this weekend (although it's back to 27 degrees-yay global warming/cooling)
4. True Blood season 1 (just finished) sexy vampires and shape shifters!

This kid is my current joy. He has accumulated some rain gear over the last couple of months. He was so excited it was raining this morning, all he wanted to do was get dressed and go to school to show his friends his gear. Check out the sweet fireman boots he's wearing. ;D

In other current joy news, my wife had an ultrasound this morning. Baby is measuring 7lb 7oz with a little over three weeks to go. My son was 9lb 5oz and this one looks like it'll be almost the same. Hooray for big babies. They are soooo easy to handle.
Oh Jon, that has got to be one of the cutest damn pictures I've seen in my life! Congrats on the ultrasound!

We got our ass kicked today by those storms that hit you yesterday - quarter-sized hail that my daughter wanted to collect and freeze as a keepsake. Kids rule; we spend all day bitching about the inconvenience of rain and our kids celebrate it. I saw an interview with Mac from Superchunk and he was asked about the song on the new album, "My Gap Feels Weird." After going on and on about the lyrics and the generational implications of the song, he finally admits that the song was inspired by his daughter losing a tooth and telling him that the gap in her teeth "felt weird."

2.) Today was supposed to be my first day on the new job too, and they called me off at 7:30 this morning because of the rainy storminess weather :P I had so much I wanted to do today too, since I went on the mini GA roadtrip and couldn't really prepare for the week, so that's a big help!
The power not going out as expected last night was quite helpful for getting my homework done.
I had a pretty lousy day today and then came home to a nice surprise from johnnYYac. You are an ambassador Mr. Yac. Your "letterhead" brought a nice chuckle to my day. I really, really appreciate it! :beer:

Cool. Glad to oblige, boys.
This gal finally got offered another job. Granted it's PT, but added to my current PT job, it equals what I made before I quit work to start grad school. I'll be working at a library AND an archives so it will definitely cushion my nerdly resume. It's not forever, but it's enough $$$ to get some things rollin'....
....this is all contingent on my passing a UA test Monday morning. You might see a subsequent post in the "Current Complaints" thread next week. *tugs nervously at shirt collar* I think I'll be fine, though... :-\

Awesome! I'm gonna be a Great Uncle soon in a few months and I'm only 29 (my oldest sister's oldest son and his wife are expecting), crazy shit.
Adorables!!!
Nice to see you woodnymph! *waves*
Dawwww! Cute pic. :)
Wow on this day of all days I got a job offer from a local hospital which is a substantial pay increase from my current job and am 1 of 3 people (my competish - 2 people with way less experience as reported by an inside source) being interviewed for a federal job tomorrow which would be an even more substantial pay increase and potential career-making position! To top it off this Day of Days I will go home and dance with my soon to be wife to Circuital and try and plan out my life. Cheers to all! :beer:
Cheers Mr Wolof! Good luck sir.
Thank you guys for the sweet sweet replies!! Holy cow is she amazing....... so excited to be her auntie!!!
Ky what's good with the new jobbaroo!!! That sounds PERFECT!!! Did you start already???
Wow! This is awesome! Great pic Woody :) I get to see my niece and nehew in June for the 1st time in 3 years and can't wait.
Congratulations Wolof. That is great news. :thumbsup: now you can road trip for some shows outside of New England right?
I'm super grateful to have been able to chill with both Ghosts and Penny in my hood over the last three days. :)
Congrats, Jen! I'm going to be an aunt for this first time this July and I can't freaking wait. Great pic! :)

My current joy is from reading this morning's paper. I'm mightily relieved to know that Catherine Zeta-Jones has been successfully treated for her bipolar 2 two disorder. After spending five days in a top clinic it would appear she has been cured and is all better now.
That's really good, because as her publicist says, she can now focus on the two new films she is about to start shooting.
I can sleep easy tonight........

It's good to know they can now treat bipolar disorder in five days. There was me thinking it was a serious mental condition that could blight the lives of sufferers for decades...

That is true....Bipolar remains the diagnosis du jour. Not to be insensitive to her "condition" but bipolar is an extremely serious but treatable mood disorder which can be permanently disabling, but the term bipolar is thrown around pretty loosely these days. Generally if someone suffers a true manc or depressive episode it takes a lot longer than 5 days in a hospital to be ok enough to return to a film shoot or any kind of arduous work.
Not to say this is or is not the case, but we all have mood cycles, swings and personal stressors we deal with, I find oftentimes people like to explain their mood through this diagnosis without knowing full well the parameters to actually diagnose it.

Thanks! We have no idea what the sex is. My sister and brother-in-law want to be surprised. It is making it very difficulty for my sister to shop/decorate, but I'm kinda happy they are holding out. Love the suspense. I'll be happy with whatever, but I'm secretly hoping for a boy because there are too many females in this family as is. ;) Either way, he/she is totally going to get spoiled.
I get to see ms. yvon tonight :) :) :) :beer:
I am really, really pleased about that. Definite highlight of a weird week.
Great pic my fellow yinzer, you look like a mama in that pic, and high five for your news as well Wolof since few things supercede good job news...
-Just listened to Octoplasm for the first time :bath:
-Bought a laptop today because I think the forum withdrawal, related to school, manifested by the new album craziness got to me
-Got a 93% on my test today, after getting a 73% on the first exam. Huge relief.
-Did my tax return today finally and didnt expect to get near as much CREAM back as is coming this way. Dolla Dolla Bills yall!
-Roll Call is pretty sweet and Im sure the Jacket will make some decent $ while also finally giving all us diehards an outlet to get preemo tix before the scalpers
Probably forgetting a couple things but thatll work..mmmm...Octoplasm
I got to catch up with an old friend from high school days (the Reverend Kerry Keefe I posted about in "other music") who was bandmates of Mike Gordon of Phish back in th day. He's into traditional bluesy gospel music now and I went to catch his current group at a Baptist church over in Worcester MA. Lots of great music and fellowship and it was great to catch up with Kerry. Plus I found out he lives a couple towns away from my town of Oxford so I am hoping we can hang out regularly again. Excellent weekend overall!

About 24 hours from now, I should have another little jacket fan in the family! I don't know if it's because we didn't find out the sex with this one, but I don't remember being this nervous with our other one. I can't freakin' wait to find out what it is!

You need me to make your streak for the cash picks for ya? Congrats, bushwacker with a 151 floater time. I'm betting girl.
Just purchased and booked all necessary tickets and accomodations for my 2 summer trips. No concert plans as of yet, but this should do for now...
5 days in New Hampshire in July
And in September, 1.5 days in Chicago (including game @ Wrigley), 3 days in Glacier National Park in Montana, 1.5 days in Seattle (including game @ Safeco)
:D
Thanks a bunch guys! Soup, I'll still manage to squeeze a few picks in here and there. Everyone except my wife and myself think it's a girl. We'll see... Some friends of ours did a money board for it. I drew "boy 8-8.5lbs" and "girl "8.5-9lbs". Our doctor estimated 8lbs 10oz, so I may be all over it if it's a girl.

I'll be in NH from July 16-20. Family tradition going back to the mid-70s... the whole gang goes up to the lake and rents a bunch of houses. I haven't been up in a few years, and my parents invited me, so who am I to turn down a free vacation?
Congrats Jon! Hoping for 10 fingers 10 toes and the great new baby smell. Yes, new baby smell is one of my favorite things.

Careful, careful..... it might could suck you right in! It's like nature's perfect snackfood. Protein, good fat, goes good on nearly everything, and can be added to dips/sauces too... can be an expensive venture, but I've not come across an almond butter I don't like. Raw is my faaaavorite, roasted is nice too. Try it on a cracker with a raw macadamia nut or two on top, and it takes everything in your power not to eat them until they're gone.
OK... that's all. Can't
Talk
About it
Anymore

Almond butter on crackers with banana slices orrrr macadamia nuts = crime. You don't really need flavored crackers, the almond butter (and potential toppings) do all the work for flavor, as a snack....
Otherwise...... almond butter & jelly/jam sammich, english muffin with almond butterrrr.... pretzels... notice-I'm-avoiding-the-subject-of-chocolate-with-almond-butter..........ahem..... hell, put a little on a chocolate chip cookie and you're golden! You can do a Chex mix kinda thing with it...it's amaaaazing on apple slices..... figure anything you'd use peanut butter for, an almond butter pudding surprise? ???
So that's just some vegetarian-esque ideas on my behalf... you can get into adding it into dips and sauces, but they don't necessarily harness the flavor as much, it just mixes in well in place of like an almond paste, or ground almonds...
Word to the Wise: Don't buy* almond butter that has other junk oil in the ingredients, like canola oil or such. Look for the purest kind with either ONLY GROUND ALMONDS or almonds & almond oil. A little sunflower seed oil wouldn't be the end of the world either, if other types are hard to find. And definitely don't get any with crap preservatives.

Actually I've never been out there... I've never been west of Louisville. I decided I wanted to change that and saw that Amtrak runs from Chicago to Seattle, and I have always wanted to take a long train ride. Then I realized it stops right outside of the park, did some reading about the park, and decided 3 days there would be a nice way to break up the train ride. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of what the park has to offer, get in some canoeing, and hope to avoid any and all bears.
If you need any Chicago suggestions, let me know! :thumbsup: Sounds like an amazing trip!

Be prepared to be blown away. Make sure you drive up Going To The Sun Road at least to the peak/midway pt where the building is and take the 30 minute hike to Hidden Lake. Its totally worth it.

And in September, 1.5 days in Chicago (including game @ Wrigley), 3 days in Glacier National Park in Montana, 1.5 days in Seattle (including game @ Safeco)
Thats some pretty nice spots! Have you ever been to Glacier before?!? Im guessing yes since youre spending 3 days there, but that is the most beautiful, jaw dropping pieces of nature Ive ever seen. I really only got to see it for a day as far as the park, but the next time Im out there I plan on spending much more time. Couldnt believe I was still in the USA
Actually I've never been out there... I've never been west of Louisville. I decided I wanted to change that and saw that Amtrak runs from Chicago to Seattle, and I have always wanted to take a long train ride.

Excuse my French, but no. fucking. way did you just post this!!
I was JUST ABOUT TO GO ON CURRENT COMPLAINTS and spew a small bit about my almond butter addiction that has taken over my life.
Then I was like "ehhhhhh no one will really understand........"
That just freaked me the f out that you posted that hahah I shoulda known the MMJ vortex would prevail 8) The current complaint has become a current joy, HUZZAH ALMOND BUTTER!!!
SSPREAD the word lady!
Happy Easter kids for those that worship. Enjoying a day of rest, great food, fam, and the fact that we made it out unscathed. :coffee:
EF0 or EF 1 hit my town only 2 blocks from my house Friday night (it was an offshoot of the destruction at the St Louis Airport). The path it hit is a mess, but we lucked out and no damage here at Casa Koehler.
Glad to hear you made it out okay, MJ.
We had another boy! A big boy, 9lbs 7.3ozs :o. Thaxton Terrance T. - born Friday morning. Healthy and beautiful, if I do say so myself. :) Mrs. T is recovering from her c-section nicely and things really couldn't be going any better. Thanks for all the kind wishes!
That's awesome Jon! Congrats
Congrats Jon T. Wow, 9.7, that's a big boy! Enjoy :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Congratulations Jon! Are all your little ones triple T's? Hey, that's how much I weighed!
Congratulations Jon!!! So glad everyone's well!! :-D :bath:
Congrats, Jon and Mrs. T! Welcome, T3!

Thanks to you all! Ruckus, the T cubed (which has already become a nickname) is just a coincidence. We named him after our fathers. My wife's father was born in a small town in Mississippi named Thaxton. We liked the name and ran with it. The middle and last names are a little more self explanatory. He is doing fantastic and seems like he is going to be a very chill baby. fingers crossed.
I've got to throw his cute little mug up here...

Thanks again, err'body. Bbill, I've been wondering how your family was. Good to your lil' girl. She's a beaut!
CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU!!! And thanks for putting a grin on my face from ear to ear...there is nothing like being a father! :)
Finally got the MCAT done today...life is good again :beer:

Congrats everyone on all the adorable healthy happy babies!!! Bbill, Maisie has such a beautiful smile!!! :-D
And Happy Vesak Day, all!! Buddha's birthday is celebrated today, and it's just a very happy day of mindfulness & appreciation of life :)

Forgive me for my 3-tiered rant from a (still) friendly neighbour to the north regarding last night's Canadian election, which was usurped somewhat by the "insignificant" bin Laden story:
The Good: The Green Party earned its first-ever North American win/seat in last night's Canuck federal election when party leader Elizabeth May won in her riding; The New Democrats became the official opposition party for the first time in Canadian history; the Bloc Quebecois (a Quebec separtist party) got hammered in Quebec by the NDP and are now marginalized in Quebec and in Canada, which is good for national unity.
The Bad: the Conservatives won in a majority and this party now has the power to do whatever the fuck it wants., including eroding the middle class, tarnishing our nation's worldwide reputation and importance and basically doing its best to tweek with democracy.
The Ugly: the Liberal Party were destroyed last night and will have a difficult task trying to rebuild what was once the most dominant political force in this country's history. Hey, at least Pierre Trudeau's kid won his riding last night, so there is some hope.
Overall, the country is now more polarized than ever before, with right pitted against left and the Liberal centre becoming irrelevant, which is very sad indeed.

Thanks. I must preface that even right-leaning Canada looks leftist when compared to the US. Still, our PM is a bastard, but I like some Conservative Party members.

Now that MMJ has announced some more dates, I can add Pittsburgh and Baltimore/Columbia to the list of places I'll be visiting this summer. Already have plans for Chicago, Seattle, Montana, and New Hampshire. Starting preliminary plans for Europe next spring.
I am alive. I have a house. I have a job. I have food to eat.
I am so, so, so greatful and blessed and thankful for everything.

Nice! Congrats to your worldly philanthropic son. ! :) I'm sure he's got a great future ahead. You should be really proud.
PS-Do you still want me to cougar him?
He just said to sext him some full frontal pix...
Now he is checking out crazylove's FB pics of you...
4 years....felt like 4 minutes :o :oCongrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to share our family's good fortune, as my dad beat pancreatic cancer (2-5% survival rate), my mom beat breast cancer, and now comes my wife's uncle Rich, featured in the video below after reaching the 2-year survival point for an agressive brain cancer, Glioblastoma. (Rich's wife, Toni, is one of my mother-in-law's 7 sisters; she also has two brothers!).
We'll be seeing him and the rest of Michele's massive family in the burbs of Chitown on Lollapalooza weekend. Hope to see some of you then, too.

Nice Yac! My Grandma is also a brain cancer survivor, 13 years now! You uncle in law also seems like a pretty healthy guy overall as well, so just goes to show you once again, cancer doesnt discriminate or necessarily target unhealthy people. I really doubt they ever find a cure or something close to it, but hopefully they can continue finding ways to save people once diagnosed.
Also, Im sure Lollapalooza has nothing to do why the fam is going out there that weekend ;)

I'd like to just throw my 2 shillings in about my special memory for the day, which I like to look back on and remember with joy :) I know I've mentioned it once or twice before but I'd only like to mention it on the board here since it's one of the reasons (out of the uncountable infinite amount) that I fell into MMJ bliss, upon listening.. Today is the birthday of my now lost friend who was my first best friend in this life. She's on my mind often as it is, but today I especially kept her in my heart. And I can't remember which was first, but both Dondante and Strangulation are two songs that I feel really just..... I don't know, connect my thoughts with her, in mysterious and magical ways... And the end of Strangulation has turned right into a smiling-and-crying event at least a handful of times, and often brings about hopeful and positive feelings from such a dark place. (cue T5 version...) The same can be said for Dondante, though it's quite a different intensity, feeling-wise. And the board has brought so much joy, and the music has brought so much joy, and though I've felt like I've dealt with the loss in about as best a way as I can, there are just moments in the music that add a depth to things and a comfort to a place in my heart that always feels soothed by it. She was a young girl, 'bout the age of 23.... and our memories together will always have a special place in my heart :)
Also am extremely thankful to have met all of you kind folks that I have, and can't wait to see some familiar (and new) faces this summer!!! 8)
Goin to my cousins wedding tomorrow. He's family, but he's also my boy and 1 of my best friends. First person in my generation of my family to get married. Should be fun, hopefully I'll get some pics!

woody, i can totally relate to your story about the loss of your friend & how mmj's music has helped you thru it. one of my best friends in the world disappeared a little over 2 years ago. he introduced me to mmj so that in itself makes the whole thing take on another meaning. and man, certain songs trigger the memories... it's amazing!
particulary TWTHS. we'd had
such a good long convo about the awesomness of that song; dissecting the lyrics and totally geeking out over how fucking amazing the guitar outtro is. it's a song we both really "felt" at the time. i think of him & that convo whenever i hear that song. and even tho i do usually well up a bit, the memory is a happy one and i always end up smiling.
dondante i've always, always loved. it's such a powerful song. but it's taken on a new meaning for me since last summer. i had a dream that my friend came to visit me. he said that he was sorry for putting me & his family & everyone thru what he had. but that it was something he had to do for himself & that he's ok now & he hoped i understood. i forgave him, immediately, & told him that i was so happy just to know he was ok & then we laughed. it was
such a vivid dream, the most vivid dream i'd had in ages, that i believe he really DID come to visit me from whatever plane he's on. it was bizzarre tho, because when i had the dream it literally came out of nowhere. i'd gone thru the different stages of grief a loss and all. of course he's always in my heart but... life goes on... time passes... and at that particular time, i wasn't thinking of him consciously all that much. but i woke up from that dream feeling very much at peace about my friend. i felt i finally had some kind of closure. so now, when i hear dondante... goosbumps, cold sweat & some happy tears.
music sure can heal the heart. and this band does it beautifully.
Liz... WOW!!! Everything you've written about is just out of this world...... that dream... that is some serious business. I feel a lot was going on behind that, and you definitely made real, genuine contact.
The fact that your friend introduced you to MMJ definitely adds a whole other level to everything. And TWTHS is such a good song for warm memories. I'd love to talk to you in person about all of this sometime soon!! I hope to catch some summer shows with ya this year!!
That dream I can't get over, I keep re-reading what you typed about it. That just blows my MIND, such a profound connection you were able to have. The only thing I can even liken it to was meeting Maharaj-ji (Neem Karoli Baba) in a dream, before I'd even studied much about him. I met him on top of a mountain, in a temple, and had some very deep type of conversations that I can't recall anything about... and maybe someday we'll meet again when I'm ready to remember the teachings. But that's all I can compare it to, was a real genuine encounter of Spirit while dreaming, and from seemingly nowhere (like you said you weren't consciously always thinking of your friend at the time, it came out of left field)
How amazing it must have felt after waking up.... I bet it didn't even feel like it was even a dream for the first few minutes of waking up; they always feel so much like real-life. Then it's always such a strange sensation when your mind starts to piece it all together and you realize you'd been asleep and so it must have been a dream.... it's not too often that I've heard of such a vivid, fulfilling dream on so many levels-- to hear him apologizing and explaining everything!!! And to be totally present in your own dream enough to forgive so immediately and be so understanding (which you embody so graciously in real-life too, I might add! :)) And I can't decide what my favorite part of your dream is there, but I absolutely love that you both laughed afterward.
That just speaks so many volumes. Laughter is so healing just of itself...
Well I'm so glad you were blessed with such a special healing encounter, and thank you so much for sharing about it!!!!! MMJ really does just pull some serious heartstrings in ways that they might not even intend to.........If I let myself go, I'd write 12 more paragraphs about it, so let me just say that we definitely need to hang out again soon!!! I miss ya and hope your Spring has been some seriously rampant badassery!!! :-D :-D :-*
Sitting on my back porch watching an extreme thunderstorm blow through, over the lake.... listening to "Rain Song"---so priceless. The lightning would flash and the thunder cracked nearly everytime a climactic part would happen in the song, it felt so surreal!
Now listening to Disc 2 of Physical Graffiti while the rain still sweeps through.....
Mmmmmmmm

Sitting in my favorite chair with my beautiful one year old golden retriever by my side listening to George Harrison's All Thing Must Pass and your back porch night reminds me of one on my life's great moments.
After graduating from school, a bunch of friends and I rented a house for a week on the beach at Nags Head North Carolina. One night after many drinks and some fairly potent natural green substances, we sat on the porch and watched a wonderful heat lightning storm over the Atlantic while listening to Pink Floyd's Meddle. Watching an extreme storm with friends while feeling safe is a special experience and combined with the magic of the moment, this was one of those experiences that should stay lodged in my brain no matter how many days pass. Nature can be frightening as hell but also beautiful to behold. Thanks for helping to jog my memory of a great lifetime experience.

After graduating from school, a bunch of friends and I rented a house for a week on the beach at Nags Head North Carolina. One night after many drinks and some fairly potent natural green substances, we sat on the porch and watched a wonderful heat lightning storm over the Atlantic while listening to Pink Floyd's Meddle. Watching an extreme storm with friends while feeling safe is a special experience and combined with the magic of the moment, this was one of those experiences that should stay lodged in my brain no matter how many days pass. Nature can be frightening as hell but also beautiful to behold. Thanks for helping to jog my memory of a great lifetime experience.
That story gave me goosebumps!!!!! Meddle is such an enchanting album, and it sounds like the magic was so thick you could cut it with a knife! Thanks for painting that picture! I'm envisioning it right now.....

:::Dream Sequence
:::::
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sandAnd everything was green and submarine...................
This started off in the Current Complaints thread for me a few weeks back. I relayed the story of a dog I had been walking for some people - only to find out that they subsequently abandoned it and the local authority put it to sleep as a dangerous dog (which it wasn't).
Anyway, since then me and my wife have volunteered at a local rescue centre that saves dogs from local authority "death row" pounds. It's become a Current Joy for sure, although it's hard to see all these dogs living their life in kennels waiting for someone to give them a home. Quite often they don't get any exercise for four or five days at a time so when we walk them at weekends they are full of energy and go crazy with excitement in the kennels. It's quite an intense experience, but once you get them out they are transformed. To see the joy in their faces brought about by something as simple as a walk through the fields is humbling. The joy comes when you see a dog disappear from the website and the kennels and find out that it has gone to a new home that has been matched to its needs.
We've even taken to fostering one of the dogs at weekends, and when we take vacation, so that it improves her profile for a potential rehomer. If we weren't in the position of working such long hours I'd take the dog tomorrow, but she needs to be in the company of people rather than locked in a house alone all day.
If you're going to get a dog please think about resisting the temptation to get a puppy. Think about saving an unwanted dog's life. If you get a dog matched to your needs you will also be much more sure of what you are letting yourself in for.
This is Felicity, the girl we have been fostering. In the kennels her fur was dirty and sticky, but a trip to the dog parlour, a tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner got her looking like this:

jen! :-* my Spring has been almost the opposite of rampant badassery. oh well, i suppose we need the lows to fully appreciate the highs, huh? how about yours? i haven't had too much time to check in on the boards. but i've had you in my thoughts - hoping that your journey has been kind to you.
i don't usually remember my dreams. so yeah, when i woke up after that one it took me some time to figure out what the heck was going on. i did try to fall back asleep in hopes of picking it back up, but my brain just wouldn't quiet down. plus my heart was going a bajillion miles an hour... i need to learn meditation.
sounds like your dream about meeting and conversing with Maharaj-ji was amazing!!! especially since it was before you really started studying about him. that's very goosebumpy! i think you will meet again, in that temple, on that mountaintop & have those conversations, like you said, when you're ready to remember the teachings. i keep going back to the fact that this happened BEFORE you really studied about him... that's astounding! surely there was a link, a connection, already there but off the radar so to speak, which this dream shone light upon.
sooooo so much we should talk about, we totally need to hang out & soon! i miss you too, lady! like you said, hopefully some shows will line up nicely to accomodate that. if not, we need to plot ;)

Oh no! Spring =/= rampant baddassery?? :( Well you're definitely right on about the lows/highs deal. The sky is always darkest before the Dawn (when they ride again!) My Spring has seemed to be one continuous stream of things syncing up and coming together... (in so many weird randomized ways...) To my understanding, Asheville really is a hotbed of quartz rock vortex magic tucked into the mountains. I'm in love with it all!
As for your dream, I'm
sure it was impossible to get back to sleep after waking from that one! That would be a real meditation test, having such an encounter! The heartbeat would definitely be over the top!! I'm glad though, that it seemed pretty complete, like a full transmission of everything you'd want to hear and experience... The real important stuff :) And I just love that you even laughed together, that transcends words and would be so healing!! :-D
The Maharaj-ji dream does still to this day leave me with that curious spark of wonder, how he could penetrate my dream levels without me even knowing his name or what he was "about," so to speak. I thank the universe for providing the internet, because it would have taken an incredible amount of time to scan through philosophy/religion books at a library or bookstore and come across a picture of his face in order to get his name... I didn't even know at the time what he was! I was googling "mountain guru old man" hahahhah And maybe if I hadn't been able to search the internet I might have forgotten the visual details of him that I even had! All I could remember was his facial features...so I just had to find an image that matched it, and then I was set to learn about him!
Anywho, LOTS TO TALK ABOUT FOR SURE! If summer shows do not align, I am
all about plotting!!! I'll be going back to Woodstock for some classes either this summer and/or this fall, and maybe we could meet there again! Oh bugger if I can make it to at least Sunday of Mountain Jam I will!!! I find myself fiendish for a firepit circle of the MMJ board peeps.
I know Mt. Jam is right around the corner, but there's something about Woodstock in the fall too...... if we could have a little MMJ fan get-together camp-out night in the fall, I think it'd do us all a great deal of good!! (Anyone? Anyone??) :o
Miss ya girl, we'll be in touch!!! :-*
I'm just very very very very very happy right now.

Sonny, true love is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe, they're so perky, I love that.
Wow, I missed that typo.

Wooo! Very nice, Trish! I miss that word, "consumers". :)
I went to a candlelight vigil for my city (Tuscaloosa) last night. It's great to see so many people working together here. Recovery is a long road, but I have a feeling we are headed to a better and brighter tomorrow.
And in other news: I got the house I wanted. My dude is moving in this weekend. I got my car's A/C fixed yesterday. I started an endorsement for a weight loss clinic and another for a salon--rolling in free stuff like a boss. I taught my spoiled Westie a new trick. I might be taking my little nephews and niece to the beach in a few weeks.

Have you guys noticed there is a slip mat in the merch section these days? How the hell long has that been there? It's awesome - black with the owl in white. Plus, somebody has been in the market for a new slip mat since the last one on her turntable mysteriously went missing. ;D
(I blame the wine).

You're on a roll, meg!!
This is turning into quite a beautiful summer. Lots of plans in the works, a ton of sunshine, good drinks, good friends, and with all the amazing music coming out the soundtrack for this year will be tough to beat.
:beer: cheers to you all in this strange, wonderful community we've created. Hope you're seeing sunshine where you are, too.
Love it! Cheers Meg and KY! Despite small health issues I'm feeling pretty wonderful these days myself! Enjoy the first Circuital weekend everyone! I for one am going to try to find 40 minutes to sit outside with the headphones, my eyes closed, and Circuital.
I am so enjoying Storytellers(sorry, TEO, I had to watch, I kept hoping you would get up to see it with me!)! It's just the icing on the cake, after spending time with my Gods in the "Cathedral" of Louisville on Tuesday night. What a week of MMJ!
Cheers to ya Meg & Ky! (and now BH and crazylove!) Here's to everyone's greatness! :beer: :beer:
Storytellers last night. Beach today. Mt Jam tomorrow to see the boys up close & personal.

So I FINALLY got my mom to download TeamViewer onto my brother's laptop so that I could view & control it for them back home. (My brother has few computer abilities, and my mom is knowledgeable enough that I can usually walk her through things over the phone...) I even wrote them step-by-step instructions for downloading music from Amazon and putting it to his ipod, cause I knew once I moved I wouldn't be able to remember what the screen & the prompts looked like in order to walk them through it all...
But they both were trying to d/l songs from Amazon, and somewhere along the lines, my brother got things real mixed up, and none of the songs he downloaded were showing up as being anywhere on his hard drive...
And walking them through searches for file locations, etc was failing, should I say, epically... My mom even called Amazon and talked to the people for at least an hour or so in the period of two weeks.
So my roommate told me about the TeamViewer program, and lo and behold I convinced her to d/l it and within seconds (literally, under a minute!) I had her ID and her Password and her computer screen popped up as a window on my computer screen, and next thing I knew I was moving their mouse and clicking all over the place and freaking everyone out in general :P
Technology, goddamn!!! I can now remotely access any of my family's computers and help them out in all kinds of ways while being away from home..... this. is. AWESOME!!! (And mucho user-friendly) I highly recommend it for anyone in any type of similar situation! :thumbsup:
*Edit: you computer-savvy folks probably knew about this thing for years or something... but how refreshing it is for a noob like myself!

Oh I do hope the TeamViewer can help you guys out!! It was such an amazing surprise to be able to control everything..... I literally downloaded their music off of Amazon, added it to their iTunes library, and had my brother plug his iPod in-- then I
synced the music to his iPod!!! From my computer!! It was so crazy.... I told them to watch for when the iPod displays the screen that says "It is now safe to unplug your iPod." And when it was complete, I had him double-check that all of the music was there, and it was. Just the coolest thing ever 8) Let me know if you use it, I'd love to hear how it goes!! :-D

Seriously! I read through that trying to make sense of it. All's I could think of were these logic puzzles I used to do in magazines that give you a bunch of facts and you have to piece it together: one sister lives in Pittsburgh. One sister is pregnant. Two sisters like MMJ. One sister has a boyfriend. One sister met the perfect guy but he was engaged. That sister does not live in Pittsburgh.

This is very good indeed.
24 hours from now, Mrs. Headhunter & I are heading out to NJ to see the Drive By Truckers and Alejandro Escovedo with Penny Lane and her dbt forum buds. This will be my second DBT show with Penny and my wife's first DBT show. Coming just 6 days after seeing MMJ at Mt. Jam with Penny and all the other forum peeps, I'd say this has been a good week!
Yes, life is good.

This will be my second DBT show with Penny and my wife's first DBT show. Coming just 6 days after seeing MMJ at Mt. Jam with Penny and all the other forum peeps, I'd say this has been a good week!
Yes, life is good.
Heading out to NJ and the NJ ladies are already booked. :(
Hope you, Beth & Penny have a great time!
Finally some non skin melting temps, comfortable breeze, lots of Oberon, rosemary skewer beef kabobs. Nice to be able to enjoy my patio without fear of heat exhaustion.

That is nice. I was enjoying a Manhattan and some fresh guacamole on the deck, but there wasn't enough breeze to keep the flies away, and it's still pretty damn steamy. I would fire up the grill, but I'd have to go to the store first, so I'm going to allow myself to order some chinese food instead. Probably another Manhattan in my near future too.
Also gonna work on my forum peeps logic puzzle ala magh33ta..."This one trades barbs regularly with the one who first saw RUSH in 1981 but does not engage the one who powders his nacha with Gold Bond every day..."
Got a dog today from the Humane Society! Shepherd/Chow mix. About a year old. I'll have to post some pics of her and my roomie's dog. They're quite the pair.
And again, my new iPhone. Love it.

Carlos Spencer classic try in Super 12 - Blues vs Crusaders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8btfw32h-w#)
I get a hell of a lot of joy watching this, damn Joe why don't you run like this anymore
"Carlos Spencer... OH THIS IS AMAZING!"
Also a joy is that when I look at the home page of the forum it says that I am the last person to post in every topic :D

Good for you. Pound puppies are usually the best dogs.
I FINALLY got my poster from the Lexington show framed and hung. It looks very nice in my kitchen.

Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Michele is a very cool lady.
We met in Chapel Hill, when I was with another woman, at East Coast Swing dance lessons. I almost lost her to the Peace Corp, but became her reason to stay. She's smart as hell (PhD in Environmental Toxicology), and a great mom. She puts up with my MMJ obsession, one of many (I am probably undiagnosed OCD and ADHD). She's been to my first show (Boston 2008) and my best show (Portland, ME 2010). She lets me sleep in on Saturdays and I let her sleep in on Sundays.
I probably spend too much time on selfish endeavors and need to spend more time on her and the girls, but she seems to be sticking with me (for now). As I approach my 3000th post since joining this forum in March of '09, I know I need to spend that time with her and the kids. I also wonder what she thought when the baby (2.5 year old Lauren) started singing "holdin' on to black metal" at the dinner table last night!
Then she goes and gives Mr. Omnichord an electric guitar with amp and effects pedal! Hmmm. She gets a Kindle, though I wish they made 'em waterproof, as she likes to read in the tub each night but had been known to fall asleep. Many a book have hit the drink.
I'll post a pic soon. Thanks again.

Hey John - great post. One of the best of the "almost 3000". It's good when the little things and everyday can make you smile. Gotta enjoy life's moments while ya got em. Thanks for the reminder.

Great to read, JohnnyY! Sounds like you are a lucky man. There are some other truly amazing couples on here (HH & Beth, Teo & Crazy, TBD & Bobster, Tater & his lady) that almost lead me to believe that marriage can be happy AND fun. Gives a girl hope ;)
Thanks, guys... more good news. No more long commutes!
After three weeks of intense interviews and a lot of waiting, I got the offer to return to teach science at the high school in town. I was a teacher there for 3 years, then their assistant principal for 3 years, but when Lauren came along, I decided to return to the classroom and had to take a job almost an hour away. All in all, I gain 90 minutes a day, though that means I can no longer listen to Circuital twice a day in my car.
My summer break starts 3pm Friday!
Go Bruins!!!

Thanks, guys. Not to pile on the good news, but turns out my new job pays $6000 more. And cuts my commute from 30 miles each way to 3. I don't need the insurance thanks to my wife's job with the State of NH Public Health Lab, so I'll get a couple of grand back for that, too. At least I won't feel as guilty for the amount of $$$ I sink into MMJ and related adventures.
JY Happy Anniversary!!!! What a sweet new geet! And what a sweet wife & fam you do have!! Congrats congrats! :-D
Me and my lady are going on a date tonight. First time in a while. We've had so much going on in our lives lately we've kind of put each other on the back burner. I'm kind of feeling giddy like a schoolboy.

Scored 3rd row tix for a Michael Buble' show in August!
The Canadian TV network I work for, CTV, has big live music awards show tomorrow called the MMVAs (MuchMusic Video Awards), which is our version of the MTV Awards. Anyway, Gaga performs as does Snoop Dog and Bruno Mars. But 30 minutes ago, I snuck up to watch the Black Keys do their soundcheck. I was 10 feet away from Dan and Patrick. Fucking killer. Just me and about 40 crew members and PR folks. The boys jammed a bit and did several different variations of "Howlin' For You". If you get FUSE, it carries the MMVAs in the US. I would say it's worth watching for Gaga, City & Colour, Keys and Snoop. The other acts such as Avril, FeFe Dobson and Simple Plan are sheer torture.
Got to meet Bootsy Collins, his wife, and touring band on Wednesday. On top of that, the show was incredible! It's taken me this long to come down!

My current joy... one week from today I will be vacationing in Destin, FL.
(http://tomandjulie.us/images/Destin_beach_pictures__2_.jpg)
I've lost 12 pounds in the last month. I am working my way back to being fit. Yesterday, I was able to jog for about an hour. It felt amazing.
We finally have settled into our house (which I call the Pine Palace). The man and I spent yesterday watching shitty horror movies Netflix-- and we had Five Guys burgers for lunch. I love our house. It was built in the '50's, and it's huge. It's kinda out in the woods, so I enjoy the privacy. The bathrooms all have brightly colored tile (mine's Ladybird Pink and Key Lime Green), and there is tons of pine paneling throughout the house. It's perfect. I can't wait for football season to get here so we can have people over to party, grill, and watch the game!
Life is rad.
Went to the gym for the first time in months yesterday; sore but worth it. Signed up for a Tough Mudder race in November. Bought a new camera and have been hitting the streets in an attempt to learn about photography. 5 days in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire in July. Pittsburgh/Baltimore MMJ roadtrip in August. MMJ in Philly in August. Chicago/Montana/Seattle solo vacation in September. Throw in some Phillies baseball and I've got myself a few good months coming up.

The people Michele bought my guitar from went out of town, so she just got it today, brought it by a local shop, where it checked out in excellent condition, and should land in my hands in 2-3 hours. Came with a Fender amp and wahwah pedal; should make for a noisy night.
EDIT: Sounds sweeeet! Fingers hurt.
Vaporizers! I bought a Vapor Genie that was advertised in the Relix mag that MMJ was in.
Tomorrow I work 3/4 of the day - and then have 10 continous days off thanks to the 4th of July holiday weekend. I have not had a week off (let alone more) since April 2010 so I am more than ready. And I'll be spending my vacation on the road with my honey catching many MMJ shows. Life is good.

Me, too. Once I leave work today, I am off for 10 days. I'm going to the beach, and I cannot wait. I haven't had more than one day off since March. This is going to be sublime.

lucy and meg, sounds lovely! So happy for you ladies. Enjoy the time off! :bath:
Just returned from my vacation in Playa del Carmen. It is really beautiful there. I felt like it wasn't a real place or like I was in a dream. I'm a little sad to be home, but I like knowing I found a vacation spot I can see myself continuing to go back to.
Also just learned that while I was away ynwa scooped up two tickets for us for the Philly show. With Red Rocks and MPP already on our list, this is certainly shaping up to be a wonderful August.
Saw a couple "crop circle" postings about the Circuital lyrics, and thought this would make a great Current Joy, as I just took the pic today..... but this is on my way to and from work everyday, and it is awesome. It is a perpetual current joy. Ah, Asheville..... 8)

I am officially off crutches as of yesterday! Doc says I will be able to run again in as little as six weeks possibly, as long as I mix up my routine and don't rely on running as my only cardio.
Got at least one Jacket show on the horizon.
Got a new ride this weekend.
My wife just won some kind of drawing on FB, something really small, but it's something!
After some really crappy luck lately, things look like they may finally be on the up and up!
Great news, Jon T! Count your blessings, for they are many. Go buy a lottery ticket.
Just got one of these at the office:

Dammit, how did my co-workers get that video up there so fast? ;D
Hey Crispy, I've been sitting on a regular ol' exercise ball for a few weeks now at work...I find myself bouncing all the time. I always hope no one's watching. Apparently Ruckus is. It definitely helps my back. I usually do 2 hours on the ball, one hour in a regular chair, alternating. :thumbsup:
Sitting on exercise balls?? What are you guys, pregnant or something?? ;D ;)

Beat me to it. :-\ ::)
I'm alternating to start out too, it's hardest on the ass muscles that aren't used to it yet. (jeebus christ, I'm just tossing softballs for scotty here)

Haha...awww, don't make fun. These balls are great...they work your core. Wish I had one for work.
Way too many potential balls jokes on this thread right now. I'm not mature enough to come back in here.

(got it covered GTF)
the balls are my favorite part of the workout
the half balls are the best for abs....the full ball is too much
but you can take the full ball and stand and twist with it..that really gets the mid core
for the lower core, take the half ball when you're doing your crunches, scooch all the way down till your lower back (really your butt crack) is at the top most point of the ball and go back and come up slowly
the lower you scoot, the more of your torso your lifting, the better the workout
but really just sitting on a fully inflated ball is an excellent workout

for the lower core, take the half ball when you're doing your crunches, scooch all the way down till your lower back (really your butt crack) is at the top most point of the ball and go back and come up slowly Say that again, but say it slowly. Sexily
the lower you scoot, the more of your torso your lifting, the better the workout So true, the lower you go the better
but really just sitting on a fully inflated ball is an excellent workout Yeah most ladies will agree, sitting on a fully "inflated" anything is a great workout

Big thanks :dankk2: to all of my great forum friends who made the road trip out to Long Island and braved the constant rain for our backyard concert. Mrs. Headhunter and I were thrilled to host our wonderful forum friends and it was great to spin some mmj (and dbt) vinyl for you guys afterwards. Next stop(s) - Red Rocks and Merriweather Post!
I'm grateful for the rain we got today, it's been ridiculously dry here with some bad fires
I got some CDs in the mail today all the way from Tampa. Now I have something new to listen to at work today!
Thanks, TBC!!! :beer:

Picked one full gallon of fresh organic blueberries this morning at a U-Pick farm down in these parts!!! And grabbed a raw wildflower honey from the farm while I was at it!!!! HOLY NOM. :D :D :D

Mine's not key limey, but the wildflowers give it QUITE a flavor..... makes you feel like you're running through some beautiful field (like the Tuolumne Meadows or something!!) and sipping the glorious nectar out of hundreds of flowers...... (I also haven't had honey in ages, while going through a diet/cleanse since January....... WHOLE NEW APPRECIATION!!) :D I'm likely going to go pick more next Tuesday!! There's thousands of berries.... such a beautiful little farm.....it was pure heaven....

Every morning, at a few moments before 10:30 AM, a beautiful songbird serenades by my window (and often awakens me if I'm about to sleep in later than I wish!)
I actually woke up a little after 9 this morning but stayed busy in my room until just now, just to hear it :) Time to start the day!
/start gush
Today has been spectacular!! Highlights include:
-Reading more Fellowship O.T.R.
-A particularly good dinner
-Finally getting a good soaking rain, and sitting right in it and meditating under the bamboo trees for the better part of an hour
-Amazing sunset +

-Drive to Blue Ridge Parkway + more sunset goodness + FIREFLIES EVERYWHERE
--Finding random gravel road and driving it for several miles while winding down the mountain in a dark, foggy, kind of eerie type of way... playing CSNY "Guinnivere" for mood effect, feeling like I was in Lothlorien the entire time

Sounds miserable. We had a bad heatwave in the NJ/NYC area last week. Our central air decided to crap out right before then so it was pretty miserable here. Finally cooled down a bit this week. Hang in there!

It's been that hot here almsot everyday since the beginning of July. You'll feel right at home in this heat on Tuesday.
So...... my friend from herb school gave me his old turntable today.
HUZZAH!! I now have my own turntable!!! And I was so excited I had it up and running in like 30 minutes-- First the radio for starters, then a Grateful Dead cassette.... and finally, a Mamas and Papas album (as a trial run!)
Don't ask me why it's taken me this long to acquire one... well my mom and pop have one back home, so I'd usually just use that one, but it's super swell to have my very own!
She works like a champ!! The speaker wiring is suuuuper sketchy, if I bump it in the slightest it fizzes and crackles a bit, but if I keep a good couple feet away from it, it's fine 8) And it came with a replacement needle, and I changed it up to give it a new start! SO EXCITING!!! :D :D
Congratulations Woody! So great to see so many good people on this forum getting into vinyl. Not only does vinyl sound so much better than cds and mp3s but it is SOOO much more fun. Enjoy!
Leaving this morning for a week at the beach!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful week away, Twinny! :)

Today's a stat holiday, but only banks, gov't buildings and post offices are closed. I'm also headed to a backyard bbq and it's hot as blazes out. I get a day in lieu today too since I'm scheduled off from work.
But the bad news is the house/bbq is in the suburban hellhole of north Scarborough... and I'll probably have to drive home, so not too many IPAs today >:( >:(

Wow did we have fun with you! You are the queen of all VIPs and so much more than the world's Greatest Enforcer! So many great moments and wonderful laughter. Safe that official yellow poncho. Beth and I will look forward to the next show we can share together. You guys are awesome!
Ohhhh you guys make me smiiiiiile! :D :D Wish I coulda bean there with all of yaaaa!
Many joys have been occurring today indeed! I had a great day at work because I was in such a giddy mood to be going home tomorrow for a few weeks! And everyone joked around all morning, then it was so slow I got to get out of work at noon!
Turns out to be a small miracle that I got out early... I went to the gas station, only to find my wallet completely and utterly not in my purse... (the gas light staring me in the face as the tank is empty...) "Great," I thought, figuring I either left it at the store or someone for the first time all season proved dishonest at work... Thankfully, I had the health food store number in my phone, and upon calling, I found out that my wallet was turned in!!! Everything in tact. Lord I must've been only half-conscious....CLOSE ONE. May not have been going home tomorrow all along! The cashier guy turned it in though.... such an HONEST MAN. Gave him a tip which he tried to tell me he wasn't allowed to take and I said "that's too bad, it's yours now!" :P
I was a mess the whole drive home, singing as loud as I could and shouting random THANK YOUS hahahahahah so grateful!! :D :D

I got into Pottermore. Yes, I'm a nerd.
I have to wait until October as I missed out. :( Nerds of the world unite!
I bet the site will crash once it officially opens.
That would be a safe bet.

Turns out to be a small miracle that I got out early... I went to the gas station, only to find my wallet completely and utterly not in my purse... (the gas light staring me in the face as the tank is empty...) "Great," I thought, figuring I either left it at the store or someone for the first time all season proved dishonest at work... Thankfully, I had the health food store number in my phone, and upon calling, I found out that my wallet was turned in!!! Everything in tact. Lord I must've been only half-conscious....CLOSE ONE. May not have been going home tomorrow all along! The cashier guy turned it in though.... such an HONEST MAN. Gave him a tip which he tried to tell me he wasn't allowed to take and I said "that's too bad, it's yours now!" :P
I was a mess the whole drive home, singing as loud as I could and shouting random THANK YOUS hahahahahah so grateful!! :D :D
Dude. This exact. same. thing. happened to me yesterday! Been a rough week or two so I was thrilled to have a spot of good (no, GREAT) luck!
Yays for you!! :)
ARRRGGG!! What a blessing!! *high fives!* Yeah, I mean, it goes missing, and you immediately have to start trying to come to terms with it so you don't just go psychotic.... and the impact comes in waves.... "Ok.... not headin home tomorrow I guess!........... ok... already bought APC tickets for Pittsburgh.... for myself and two friends who are counting on my ability to pick the tickets up.....right.... and MMJ tickets for 2 nights + the trip to Maryland for 3 days.....with no ID or cards....hmmmm..... ok...." hahahah just trying to come to terms with all the shit.... SO grateful that things worked out for both of us!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: (http://www.thereses.net/emoticons/gimme5.gif)
Seriously amazing luck. I didn't realize mine was missing until noonish the next day cos I was recovering from Lolla, sleeping in and lazing about the house. It was only when I started unpacking my muddy festie purse that I was like "huh, where's my wallet..." Proceeded to tear the house apart, call every cab company in town, and finally resigned myself to calling the bank, transit card and credit card companies. No unusual activity. Hm. Then I remembered that both my bank card and credit card were due to expire, and they'd sent me replacement cards that I had left in a stack of mail and hadn't bothered to activate yet. First stroke of luck....
Went out to get some cash and buy a transit card (since I had no way of getting to work the next day, much less the transit office, DMV, etc etc...) and as I walked started to feel really sad about the irreplaceable stuff in my wallet...a four leaf clover my dad found and pressed for me, a bit of confetti from MMJ MSG NYE, my PJ guitar picks...the rest of the stuff was a hassle, but replaceable.
But then I got a magical phone call. There really are good people left in this world... :)
You ever have a tomato sandwich? Take a slice of bread and a big fat summer tomato. Preferably warm from a garden so this is really only good in the summer. Spread some Hellman's, add a fat tomato slice, salt, pepper, nom.
Maggie I love that you still have a confetti piece from NYE MSG. Me too. Wish I could hug you now. The four leaf clover is sweet too. Glad you ladies had your wallets returned, nothing worse than that feeling in your stomach when it's gone....

Fried Green tomato sandwich with bacon, lettuce, and that really soft peppery goat cheese that they sell in the fancy cheese bin on really great sour dough with half dijon/half mayo. I call this sandwich the Pensacola as it was first fed to me by a little old lady who owned a restaurant in P'cola that I used to wait tables at.

this is the same original colour as mine (it's been repainted a minty green toothpaste colour). when i get a few internal workings sorted (rewiring, replacing some brakes parts, restoring the interior) it will get a repaint. still trying to sort out a name for her, but she's lovely :)
that is one sweet sexy ride, ali!

Oh my goodness, I agree with Meg! That is one sexy ride. I love Citroens, so sleek and so classy...
Just finished up a 750+ mile, 2-city, 3-day trip to see a few MMJ shows and some activities in between. Only 8 days until my next MMJ show (Philly) and 18 days until my 10-day solo trip (Chicago, Montana, Seattle). This is turning out to be an awesome summer.

Three words: Hell. Yes.
Shewt man, that is no joke!!!! Congrats on the marathon concert stretch there! Glad Pitt was one of the stops! And about this solo trip! So are you hiking/camping all through Chi-town, Montana, and Seattle?? Or just a road trip of sorts? Or... what's goin on with all that! Solo roadtrips are usually pretty ground-breaking and/or life-changing.
My joy is definitely the aftershock of the Pitt & Merriweather shows.... that and a really informative Herbal Medicine book that I got in the mail while I was just away these past few days!!

I'm definitely still in the afterglow of Pittsburgh/Baltimore. Glad I don't have to work until Monday.
The trip out west is a mix of everything really. Flying into Chicago early in the morning... catch the Cubs game that afternoon. Meeting up with a college friend who lives in Chi now that night. The following morning I'm taking the train to Glacier Nat'l Park... renting a tiny cabin for 3 nights there... lots of hiking and photos. Then train to Seattle for 3 days to take in a Mariners game, an Iron & Wine show, and maybe a day at a beach or something while I'm out there.
I'm exhausted just thinking about all that.

Well that just sounds like bliss!!! Definitely can't wait to see some pho-toes and can't wait to hear about the Iron & Wine show!!!! (And I'm sure the Philly show is going to be pretty amazing!!) Congrats on the Gooooood Life!! :-D

I got offered a part-time job as a math tutor for middle school and high school tonight. It's with a different school than the one I teach at, but I'm really excited about having more individual time with the kids opposed to having a classroom full of kids. The job doesn't pay much but I think it will pay for the majority of my golfing.

Have you ever been to Glacier?! Its awesome. Most beautiful place Ive ever seen. You will love that place. If youve never been there, you are in for a major treat.
Which also reminds me, I gotta post my pics from Glacier last year. I tried to run down a Ram to get a pic ;D
Time to bump the Montana thread :thumbsup:

And I believe Meg's new daughter was born in the same hospital as I was (Kingston General in Kingston, Ontario), and her birth weight was the same as mine was too: 7lbs 14oz.
My sister tied the knot yesterday. happy for her, but I racked up some serious left over loot:
1 5th of Kettle One Vodka
1 5th of Bullet Burbon (signed by tom bullet (?), the owner. a gift for the groomsmen)
1 5th of tequila
3 bottles of Dynamite (i think) Merlot
2 bottles of some white wine
2 bottles of champagne
a TON of bottles of mixers (pre mixed shit, coke, sprite, tonic water, gingerale, blah)
and enough chicken and mashed patatos to feed me litterally for a week.
some serious money saving going on right there. i was hoping there would be some more bullet bourbon left but the bartenders said we went through 24 5ths of bourbon and it was the most alcohol theyve ever served at a wedding. may or may not be something to be proud of.
Company for my nighttime prayers :)

Had a great weekend in NOLA, braving the tropical storm and seeing DBT rock it out two nights. It's becoming my favorite city to visit, I can't get enough. The food, the people, the music.....the cheap drinks (ordered a stoli/sode and PBR and it was $4.50).
Saw a pic of ALady, Ruckus and Kenny on FB, also glad they're enjoying the PJ festival! Love seeing MMJ forum peeps partying together! :)
Also, congratulations to Fiddlecastro, I believe he graduated last week?! (Maybe I'm wrong?) !! If not, congrats to you! (Hofstra, right?)
I'm the good kind of exhausted. :)
Aaaaaahhhhh what ideal weather!!! To sit and enjoy a hot cup of tea again! And that smell in the air....... :)
And the approach of the full moon is always a righteous time...... plus the bountiful harvests of farmers markets!!
And my coworkers are back in college and have been taking the weekend shifts, so I have the next couple of weekends off YESSS!
Time to hike it up tomorrow!!!! :D
Tonight was the last night in my ten-day chicago-montana-seattle trip. Exhausted, but sufficiently relaxed and refreshed for another few months of work and real-life.
It's been 10 years since I dropped 60+ pounds and have kept it off. At the time it started out as an attempt to not look so bad at my 10 year reunion but I ended up doing it for my wife, my son, and mostly myself. My little girl was the size of a bean at this time 10 years ago and we didn't know we were having another one but once she came around it gave me another reason to keep it off.
My day on the Blue Ridge Parkway yesterday (summed up in 3 shots)

Thanks Rob!! Yesterday was an all-around amazing day... that rainbow is officially the closest, brightest rainbow I've seen. I could look down the mountain and see where it started... the pot of gold was right in the treetops below, unreal..... and as I stood on top of my car for the best visibility, it just grew brighter and clearer and taller.... then there became a phantom rainbow off to the right of it!! Then within maybe 15 minutes it dissipated back into the air...... just incredible.
And the moonrise on the parkway was something I didn't think I'd still be on the parkway to see! I wound up taking so much longer to get back into Asheville, the sunset was so pull-over worthy....
And Crabtree Falls was just energy... just crazy beautiful energy..... pardon the side-note, but yesterday was the 38th anniversary of Neem Karoli Baba's passing, and he just made himself known all over the place... just lovely :)
Damn, woody...those pics brought a tear to my eye, not even kidding.
What a blessed day. You're a lucky girl.
AWESOME pics, Woody! I'm definitely jealous of your day. Simply beautiful. Makes you realize sometimes you just have to stop and take it all in.

Awwww!!! *hug!* When that rainbow started forming and growing, I actually lost it a few minutes and my eyes swelled up.... it was just like being touched by Jeebiss... The energy was just so powerful that day, and I feel really blessed that it's all so close to Asheville-- it convinces me to keep hangin' out down here 8) Thanks too lil sis!! You and big sis will have to visit sometime so I can show you!! :-D
Leaving tomorrow for 6 days in Aruba!!!! :D Fucking pumped! Gonna slam these like strong IPAs at a MPP tailgate party

Wow I haven't been down that way in about dozen years or so. I might need to work that drive into my summer schedule in 2012. Not sure if it could top Going-to-the-Sun Road in Montana though :o

Have a great time in Aruba Mr & Mrs Peafunk!
Have a good time, peafunk! You and your lady enjoy! :) :thumbsup: :beer:
My current joy is a special gentleman friend I've been seeing. Haven't felt this way in a looooooong time. We're talking years and years.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. Love those feelings :) fight that demon, enjoy the ride baby!
haha
Whoa Ky!!! Congratzi!! What a feeling!! Just run with it girl! The demon trying to convince you you shouldn't be happy is easily defeated by just enjoying the times you spend together! Aw I'm excited for youuuu :-D
My Current Joyeaux is that I just landed a job at the Earth Fare health food store down here in Asheville, in the Wellness department! Oh it shall be nice to get back into the health food deal again (and score a discount on groceries and not have to make grocery trips anymore!) ...and not run a register....
Guess I'll be staying here awhile! :o (And I already made sure they knew I'd be out of town 11-11-11.... for Iron & Wine ;)) With the extra income I hope to find a new apt!!!

Stop. Enjoy it while you can! Life is too short to keep looking over your shoulder.

And yay woody on the new job, new digs, and new lease on your stay in Asheville! Woohoooo! :thumbsup:
Bought the new Star Wars blu-rays tonight. Wal Mart didn't have the deluxe edition so I ended up with both sets just not all the extras. I typically don't watch all the extras so it shouldn't be that big of a loss. Oklahoma State has a late game tomorrow night so I may spend the day watching the old Star Wars tomorrow.
Thanks, ladies. We'll see where it goes... ;)
And nice job, woody! Had any good "hippie tangles" lately? ;D

Damn. That's some damn good vittles for a bachelor party! Shit, I had Burger King, chicken fingers, way too much beer, and stripper on mine. The stripper was a little gamey.
Fuck I feel great today!!!! Even sweaty as hell reaking of gatorade, spit, and run stank I'm still having a fucking great hair day too. My wife's birthday today also so we get a kid free night. Damn, feels good to be a gangsta today.

boob glitter...probably my next forum alias
;D that whole conversation
Capt. Boobglitter....hmmmm......... ;D
Today has been fraaantastic.... I found out my new job at Earth Fare pays more than my current job, has outrageously good employee discount benefits, seems to want me full time in the near future, and gave me an employee discount on the food I bought today, and I haven't even officially started until next Saturday! I feel like I'm buzzing right now! I may have also found a new awesome holistic home to live in!! *crossing fingers hard!!!**
And I went to a Heritage Festival today at the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway and watched a man shear sheep wool, watched an older hippie man who looked insanely like Willie Nelson, bandanna and all, make a basket out of tree bark, watched a woman use an insane loom.... all these handy skills! And I took a handful of sheep wool with me, and the lady spinning yarn offered to spin me a little yarn out of it YES I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT!!! :D All free! Goin' back tomorrow to learn about growing apples (and maybe get a little more wool!) Now I want sheep in addition to goats and chickens...... wheeewww....
An all-around awesome day if I do say so!! :)

Yeah Chickie!!!! Woo-hoo!!!! :D :D :D Hope you're all good!!
I think I found a new apartment!!!! :D It's on a dead end road, has a great garden area, is a holistic environment with no cable tv but wifi! Has great energy, all natural laundry/dish/bathroom/household cleaners... no toxic crapola throughout! GIANT SUNROOM FOR PLANTS! The room I would have.... IS A TREEHOUSE!! It's surrounded with windows and trees!! It's maybe a mile from a gorgeous big lake with trails.... not far from downtown Asheville. The only getting used to would be a couple roommates, but I met them today and they seem pretty awesome! Everyone shares the same basic ideals about lifestyle, and respects privacy. And the lease is month-to-month, so if I'm not digging it or whatever... I'm not tied down! And the landlord already ok'd my slightly behind first month's rent (I don't get paid again til the first week of Oct.)
I think it would be a good experience for personal growth, and a FRESH reprieve from this insect-infested deal I'm currently trying to stay afloat in... a beautiful apartment here by the lake, but whoa bugs, and whoa slightly nagging roommate... a nice little monastary for the time being... and a nice drop course in living with others, if I plan on traveling and such in the future!
Here's a few snapshotsss....

That sounds and looks amazing Jen
Thanks guys!! I told him I'll let him know by Friday at the latest.... I was ready to jump on it this evening after I looked at the place, but I've learned better than to make too rash of decisions..... currently extending the details to my trusted friends, family, and advisors (you friends included!) Currently waiting to hash it over with my guru of a friend tomorrow, she always foresees things and sheds infinite wisdom on most matters in my life, without fail.
Will keep you posted!! :-D
Looks lovely, woody! Best of luck...hope it pans out! :bath:
Thank you dear!! I hope all is well in your neck of the woods too!!
I GOT THE ROOM!!!!! The landlord guy actually called me this morning and said he really thinks my energy would be an asset to the house, and he called to share that he really hopes I take the room!
That kind of sealed the deal, the reaching out to me and the interest in having me stay there!! Oh and I talked to my guru friend today, and she felt that the signs were pointing this way too!! What a day catching up with her again too..... always on the same page, through allllll the miles between us......
MOVE IN OCTOBER 1ST LIKE WHOOOAAA!!!! :D :D :D
Aw, great news! Bask in it, lady! :thumbsup:
Jen, it sounds and looks like perfection! SO you! AND, I have old eyes, but in that first photo, I swear it looks like there is a rainbow over the trees?
Beautiful! Best Wishes!

Thanks so much Trish!!! And what's this about old eyes!?? I think not!
And secondly, to prove my point, that IS a rainbow over the garden!!! What a sacred spot!! My room is going to be decked out with windows alllll along the wall, that overlook ALL WOODS.... I am beside myself! And the landlord is excited to have another gardener on board! And there is a gorgeous yellow lab (possibly a lab mix but mostly lab)... named CHAKRA! She's probably 4-5 years old, very well behaved and mellow.
There are 120 feet of INDOOR clotheslines, and 100 feet of outdoor clotheslines.... energy efficienttttt! And there's filtered water available throughout the house. The guy who owns the house has got some major systems to keep everyone out of eachothers' hair as much as possible, and to keep the place sparkling clean :) I like this about the place, organized and clean. My own designated kitchen space 8) Shared with other healthy cookers! It smells really good all throughout the house!
Oh I can't waitttt :D

MOVING COMMENCES TODAY!! To the Treehouse I go!!! :D :D
The whole Soundgarden coming to Australia thing has had me looking like this :D lately.
Thought of Matt Cameron playing Searching With My Good Eye Closed in front of my good eyes is too much.
3 more sleeps and I get to hand with my oldest friend. She's pretty bad ass. And in 5 sleeps I get to run, a lot. I so don't give a shit about work right now and for me that is a joy.

Moving to NYC! Finally getting out of my current living situation (had to contact a lawyer because I found out my current landlord spent my security deposit and never sent me my bank info for where it is being kept--NJ tenant law). Found a great apartment and it is being fully renovated--new kitchen, new bathroom, new hardwood floors. Even negotiated one month of free rent. Move in date is 11/1. Super excited!!! :D
Hey will you be in Queens? if so we will come your way for great indian food !!! :P (this tongue needs to be facing up)

Yup, I'll be in Queens. We will def need to make plans to grab a bite to eat! Now I just have to learn how to use public transportation. :o
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I'm very excited about this move. The only bad part to it is that I will still have to commute to Jersey for work. Going over the GWB every day is going to be a nightmare BUT I'm hoping I'll be able to find a new job in the city soon. Excited for new beginnings.
Penny: It wasn't as hard to deal with as I thought. I basically had all communication in writing and there were several items in my lease that the landlord did not take care of so when I told him I would be applying my security deposit for last month's rent there was really nothing he could say. If I have anymore issues I will certainly ask you for your expertise.
Liz: I'll be happy to negotiate for you. :beer:
Congrats lil sis!! That is the bees' knees!! :-D It's gonna be such a great move for you!! Excellent new beginnings!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
As for the Big Apple.... a good friend of mine back home just asked me if I'd like to go catch Phish for New Years at MSG! His uncle & aunt live in Brooklyn, and we've stayed with them before, they've got a SWEET spot!!
And I can't believe how frigging sweet he asked, he said, "I know you're not the biggest Phish fan, so if you decide you'd like to swing it, I'll go to whatever MMJ show you want....

My goodness it's a sweet offer..... I just don't feel I can do many shows (especially of that volume) for a little while... I'd love to hunker down a bit for the winter and shed a bill or two off my chest.....

I'm so happy for the Honduras Las Capucas I picked up at the local coffee and gooey butter cake shop near the office. Holy fuck this is breathtaking coffee. Small batch free trade organic medium roast with a fairly high acidity level. This will certainly put lead in your pencil as my Da used to say.

Looking good John. :thumbsup:
Seems like only yesterday we were all sitting in Trish and Bob's truck in Essex Jct, trying to avoid the "no tailgating" Nazi, and talking about your plans to have the driveway paved. :o
Tempus Fugit indeed!
That's right! I actually met a paving contractor at our hotel the next morning. He was at the show too. That old fart in the cart, lamest parking lot ever! Bob and Trish's car, our bar with tinted windows. Was that the day I met you all? It was!
And Portland, ME exactly one year ago tomorrow, best MMJ show ever.

Interview #1 for a new position. Got a very quick response to this which is odd as normally it takes weeks to hear back from anyone about applying for new jobs up in here.
Hearing of a position that would cover Australia, Asia, and Oceana. Umm YES PLEASE. Me travelling internationally would be a riot.

That was the sorriest tailgate parking lot I've ever witnessed. I do remember Bob trying to smooth things over/distract the party police while we drank in your car. Cheers to Bob! :)
Tens of thousands of Libyan Torontonians are readying for a massive party downtown in a few hours. I just might swing by after work.

Thanks lady! I'm so excited for this move! I hope things are going well for you in your new place! It sounds perfect for you. :)
So are you definitely confirmed for the MSG show? Would be great to see you again!
Whoops! Just saw this tonight, sorry for the long delay!! Thanks very much!!
Sadly the MSG invite was only for Phish on New Years, not for MMJ.... :-\ But I know everyone will have a serious blast, and I can't wait to hear how it goes!!!! :D
And I'll be heading home to Pittsburgh in about..... 7 hours..... to visit family and friends til Wednesday! :D :D

Thats odd as I was at Essex Jct last month for the Phish benefit show and we got our party on in the lot with no problem. Inside the venue was different as the only place to get beers was fenced off and you couldnt take drinks out, and you couldnt even see the stage from that area! >:(

Those both sound like pret-tay, pret-tay, pretty nice options. Good luck!
Toronto city council voted today to ban the sale of shark fins, specifically those primarily used to make shark fin soup, a popular Chinese cultural delicacy. This is huge and great news. Harvesting shark fin is barbaric and sickeningly cruel. This decision is just and pretty gutsy given that there's over 400,000 Chinese in the metropolitan area and 3 Chinatowns. The vote was 38-4, with our fat fuck and cheapskate right-winger mayor voting against the ban. I hope he gets eaten by sharks.
Last weekend of the year in LBI, NJ. Going out with a bang w/ good friends & amazing cooking spreads.

Hey man, try and enjoy the weekend here. Sucks that we're having such shitty weather. I hope you guys aren't in a too low-lying area. All the usual flood spots are really going to blow this weekend.
Good weekend to spend inside eating and drinking with good friends! :beer:
We're #1, according to Ken Olberman and his Current program's WORST list!!
Few in downtown Toronto voted for this buffoon, Rob Ford, in last year's election (suburbia won out, this time). I hate his stinking guts. And Ken's non-intentional Ottawa Valley accent is brutal (the comedian in the Mayor Ford piece is playing a Newfoundland housewife-reporter, and Newfies have unique accents), but this segment pretty much captures the embarrassment that is Toronto's newish mayor.

I finally cleared all of the bushes and roses of sharon trees away from my garage. It's only been 6 years coming. It was like a jungle/forest all around my garage and this has done nothing be make a nice home for mosquitos. I'm hoping this helps control them without me having to call in the fine folks at Mosquito Squad. The area looks so much nicer now instead of an area a creeper would hide in. Now I have get to sit and moan as I ache like a mofo right now.
Finally saw my first up-close OWL tonight...... Samhain would bring that, I suppose! Just got back from a night cruise on the Blue Ridge Parkway......
It was directly on the two yellow lines in the center of the road, just sitting there. As I came up on it around a bend, I just KNEW it was an owl, even though I couldn't make it out. Almost bumped into it :-X It looked at me (what felt like) right in the eye, as I passed it, slowing down. Stopped the car and did a 3-point turnaround and felt it move. With my headlights lighting up the general area, I saw it had flown into a nearby tree, so I crept up slowly still in my car..... I got right underneath of it, and it just sat perched on the branch, and looked at me. Then it looked away. Then it looked down at me again.
So I put the car in park and got out as gingerly as I could and walked up to it...... It watched me, and when I got just a tad too close for comfort, it flew into the next tree over and looked back at me. I figured it wanted its space then, so I got back in my car and continued talking to it and listening to the night noises....
That waxing crescent moon was RIGHT BEHIND IT, as it perched. It was like every MMJ owl picture you could want for.
It was a barred owl..... it had the most sincere looking expression the whole time.......... those eyes just burned into my head.......

I once camped underneath a group of owls. Didn't sleep a wink, they spent all night trying kill me - swooping down and screeching all night. Smug, shitty bastards - you're still just a bird.

Well, that came out wrong. I'm drinking on Monday night so forgive me. The owls were beyond cool, swooping down at us. Think there may have been baby owls involved. Should have moved the tent.

It's interesting that they should stay right there by you through the night, there must have indeed been owlettes involved
They were enourmous and quite frankly, they should have been pissed. Drunk people singing dradel, dradel, dradel is never funny. I wish the owls would've won.

Cool story, I recall my owl encounter from awhile back. It's a trip getting stared in the eyes by one. I wish I knew what kind it was. i thought it was a baby owl at the time, but I think it was just a small breed.
Thanks, True!! I thought of your story right away, with that little baby owlette! I know your avatar isn't If I Could Only Remember My Name anymore, but that's what I had on when I saw it!! (It's one of my ultimate favorite Blue Ridge Parkway albums) It was (one of) the vocals-only tunes, "Tamalpais High (At About 3)" F'n crazy timing...... (love hearing Jerry's guitar through it) ...definitely something you don't forget.

;D To be clear, I fully enjoyed each side of the owl conversation on its own merits.
Have you ever found owl poo? It is the coolest thing. All kinds of little bones and teeth and stuff. However, I also own this shirt:

I'm officially a NYC resident! Moved into my new place yesterday and I'm in love with my apartment. I was not happy at all in my last place and I feel like I've won an award for putting up with so much bs. It has been rough the last few days with losing power and trying to pack in the freezing cold and no light, having to sleep in two different places to keep warm, and then having to move everything using one working elevator up to the 19th floor. I'm exhausted and sitting on my couch now and finally taking it all in. It was all worth it in the end. :)

I'll always remember that elevator door popping open and surprising me with you and Beth standing inside, checking into the hotel and getting ready to rage!!! It was a real treat to hang out with you that day before the show, and I wish I could see you guys way more often!

I just read a little snippet on that too! WTF? Bernie likes to talk shit about upcoming tracks to put extra pressure on them though. I can't imagine they would let all the money they spent already go to waste but you never know. Glad there is someone on the board that even knew the significance of a NYGP! How awesome will that be?

Everything they do is ace.
I had to have some tests run this week because it was possible that I had bladder cancer. My grandfather had it when I was a kid and my biggest memory of it is that my grandmother had to help him change his illeostomy bag after they removed his bladder. He lived for another 15 years after that. Anyway, I really didn't want to have to deal with that or cancer for that matter. Lucky me! No cancer! I am so thankful today. In fact, I even splurged to celebrate and now I'm going to the MSG show!

Such wonderful news Fully! :) See ya there!
That is excellent news, Fully! It will be a celebration of life, to be sure! :thumbsup:
Thanks all of you! I am really happy not to have to deal with serious illness. It makes me have just a bit more appreciation for how good my life it!
The surgery I had a few weeks ago removed all the cancer cells! I don't have to see my onocologist again for SIX months!
Hooray for Meg and Fully! So glad your outcomes are positive. My mom and dad are both cancer survivors. Stay healthy and happy.
:thumbsup:
Woohoo, so great to hear that, you guys! :D
Glad there is so much good health news going around. Stay healthy, peeps! :thumbsup:
I plan on running the Goofy Challange in January 2013. In looking at the calendar for 2013, it'll be the weekend of my 40th. Yeah my 40th should be interesting. At least no lame surprise birthday party.

Im a little late, but great to hear Meg and Fully :)
Today started out excellent- I got my tickets for the Soundgarden show here in Sydney next year.
Then turned bad- A bird pooped on my jeans.
Then turned extremely good- My sister and I went to a Neil Young exhibition and I ended up buying a framed Henry Diltz picture of Neil at a piano.
There were also amazing Joel Bernstein photos of Neil and heaps of others; The Bob Dylan Freewheelin' pic, The Who, The Beatles, Bowie, The Stones, The Doors etc.
Two out of three ain't bad.
So my girlfriend could not wait to give me my Christmas present...she practically twisted my arm off to get me to open this, but she got me a Rega P1 turntable! She didn't realize that I'd need a preamp to use it, so I need to look for one of those (RECOMMENDATIONS ARE WELCOME!), but I can't wait to hear this thing. First album played will be Circuital :)

I think I'm going to give my old turntable and a copy of Circuital to my buddy for Christmas. Pay it forward, right?

My ex bought me my turntable that I'm using now for Christmas a couple years ago; best thing she ever did for me other than maybe giving her new boyfriend the Nickelback tickets had bought her Christmas that same year.
Got this preamp to go with the turntable. Might as well stick with the Rega components I suppose.

Ms. WeenieBeenie, it sounds like the bird poop really DID bring good luck! So it's not an old wise tale after all...... heh but that Neil pic sounds fantastic, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it would be awesome if you could post a pic of it sometime!
And Hawk, that looks like one SMOOOOTH turntable! Yeeooww! Congrats congrats!!
And it looks like I'm mobile again! Gave my 30 day notice at this current beautiful house, to hopefully join another friend or two at a much smaller, yet funner, place a couple miles down thee road..... this house is gorgeous, and I could see myself staying here for years (and I don't say that often! unless I'm on the beach or high on a mountain....) But the guy who lives here and oversees things and writes up the sublease contracts etc is, well, difficult. He's got a good heart and good intentions aplenty, but if you guys happen to think I'm a health nut...... you ain't seen nothin' yet! He's one radical dude. One can only take so much raw vegan preaching in a day.... and god bless my other two roommates, cause he really lays into them about their lifestyles...
But anyway! The new little cottage is only about 20 mins out of Asheville, with woods and a beautiful creek in the backyard, and down a little dirt road over a little bridge, and it's one of the cutest things ever. The Universe seems to have pushed me right into this place, so I'm assuming our funds will work themselves out (it's kind of a lot required up-front) But this one's optimistic :)
I also landed another part-time gig as a personal assistant yesterday, right off the Elk Mountain Scenic Highway (It's maybe a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway!) And the lady seems really cool, and we're gonna give it a month trial period to see how we mesh! But it seems good so far 8)
So thaz all for now, hope everyone's all good here, thanks for listenin! :-*
Going to the OSU vs OU game tomorrow and MMJ Tuesday and Wednesday night. Pretty sure I didn't accomplish anything at work this week because my mind has been on these two events. I feel bad because I'm not completly consumed with Bedlam and at the same time I feel bad because I'm not completly consumed with MMJ. Overall this has the making of an epic week. Looking forward to all of it. Go Pokes and Go Jacket!

woodnymph that cottage sounds so nice!
I'll defnitely post pics of the NY photo once I get it from the gallery (it's getting framed and whatnot at the moment).
Good luck on the housing and job fronts, woody! Both sound quite promising...I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
And do post pics of the photo, weenie - so curious to see!

I think I'm going with this preamp instead:

I know that one and it is a really good one. The only other one to consider (imo) at that price point is a used Lehman Black Cube. Bellari is a nice brand.

Yeah I've been reading almost all good things about the VP130...sounds like it's hard to beat in its price range. I found it for only $155. Got a tube upgrade for $23. NOS Ei 12AX7 ECC83 tubes (pre-war) is the tube I got. Can't wait to hear it. Should be here tomorrow, both the preamp and the tube! :D I read about some underlying hum in this amp, but I think Bellari has addressed that in its newer units with a better power supply...I hope anyway.
Thanks for the input!
you're welcome. you may find the $23 for the tube upgrade to be some of the best $$ you ever spent. better tubes on a pre-amp are like a better engine in a car.
I've got enough Southwest airlines points for a free roundtrip to Vegas, with enough left over to redeem for about $400 in Amazon gift cards.
Sounds like a trip to Southern Utah and a new guitar might be on the horizon for me!

Where to begin? Just witnessed possibly the best show from the Jacket this year! My better half is now assistant branch manager at the credit union where she works. I'm finally getting a decent vehicle! Enjoying the privilege of buying gifts for loved ones. Finding a used guitar pick from said show!!! I'm so stoked!! A new Xmas record from the band that we admire so damn much. Having the opportunity to watch them soundcheck!!

Listening to this Dallas recording right now, studying (kinda) for my last final of the semester in a couple hours. I get to have a fun, stress free weekend, then off to NYC to see everyone! Very joyous over here

I'll tell you what listening to that Dallas recording is making having to supervise my homeroom who are really stirred up right now rather joyful. That is such an amazing recording and setlist, plus the band was just on fire that night. Good luck on your final too. I look forward to meeting you soon next week.

I'm playing this show during my planning block and have the download link on my board. I've been telling students to check this one out for a good taste of live MMJ. Funny, too, that I've had dozens of people come to tell me about the free track from MMJ on iTunes. I'm well past that but appreciate they think of me!
See you all next week!!!

Well...if that isn't a current joy, I don't know what is.
agreed- this recording is awesome.
oh, and my current joy is that i just got a call from my local indie record store telling me that my copies of Friends Again just came in and I can come on down anytime to pick them up. (copies is because i ordered a few extra for some forum peeps-you know who you are)
The holidays come early this year. :)
if theres a DL link, please hook me up! I bought one i swear!
Shopping spree at Rocky Boots in Nelsonville, OH tonight. Special employee only sale; went with a friend. Got $800 worth of stuff for $350! Some nice Special Ops hiking boots, ski coat, 2 pocket knives, 2 pairs of heated socks, a pair of tennis shoes, and a scarf (some for me, some are gifts). I know, doesn't sound like $800 worth of stuff but the ski coat and boots alone are normally over $500.
Rang the Salvation Army bell last night. Some really good, appreciative people out there.
Not a huge cat person, but our cat is a real sweetheart.
MSG in one day. Can't wait to see some of my favorite peeps! Last minute additions to the roll call list have put a huge smile on my face. I am going to get minimal work done from here on out. Counting down the minutes!!!
There was something seriously good feeling coursing through the air this AM. I was happy for a change. Did someone slip me a roofie or something? I smiled the entire time through my morning run. I'm glad I didn't run into anyone whilst running. My happiness may have spurned a case of random dry humping. I'm guessing this good vibe int he air is cuz I get to see a close friend of 20+ years. Seeing her and her husband usually put in such a great mood.
Ordering this (just the guitar)... should have it soon! Been wanting an SG like this for about 10 years now.

Epiphone SG 1966 Reissue (basically an up-fitted G400). A Gibson would render me hungry and cold for the next few months, plus I'm not in a band or anything, and my talent level doesn't necesitate a $1000 guitar at this point ;D

It might have been the amp I tested on when I last shopped for guitars, but I really couldn't tell much of a dif between the Epi and the Gibson other then price. At least not enough of a difference that the home musician would notice or care. Save the money and get the Epi. just my opinion

It's more in the workmanship, wood and guts of the guitar. Re-sale is another thing too. However, the pickups should be the same and so would be the playability and some Gibson brands are only available though Epiphone and they are a respected off-shore subsidiary, so nice buy.
BTW, I'm a SG and lifelong Who and Townshend fan and love the way he played and smashed his SG.

The quality of the build is what drew me to the Epiphone actually.... mahogany body and a set mahogany neck.

It'll be a nice guitar to have. I'd love to get a Gibson Jr., but they are hard to find and cost a fortune, for a limited range guitar.

It'll be a nice guitar to have. I'd love to get a Gibson Jr., but they are hard to find and cost a fortune, for a limited range guitar.
A friend that I jam with every so often has an Epi SG and it's lightening fast to play. For me anyway.
SGs have oversized frets and a thin neck, making them easy to play lead on. By comparison, Teles are unforgiving since they have tight frets and are built for aggressive playing. Sloppy lead guitarists better tighten up with Teles (Jimmy Page will attest to this).
I used to have a Tele... and it really was a bitch to play. I was really just a beginner, plus I have large hands. Bad combo for a tele. Although it was damn gorgeous.

I have a G&L ASAT Classic from the late '90s. It was built by George Fullerton and Leo Fender, although Leo died before he could sign it (all original US made G&Ls were signed by one or both George and Leo). My Classic is based on Fender's original Teles. It's a beast to play since I have relatively high action, but it kicks ass (for some reason, I can't post pictures).

WOW. Now that's a tele....
This was mine, but with a sweet black pickguard. I miss it.

Nice. You can pick up Squires on the cheap, so don't kiss it goodbye forever.
Now I don't feel so bad for not being able to play my Tele worth a darn ;)
Here's mine:

I'd say that was a good twofer if the Subline song was "What I Got".
Current joy: still daydreaming about New York and getting to see all your lovely faces. Only wish it had been for a whole week again. When is T52 already??

Sweet! Welcome to the grand club of parenthood
Ohhhhh congratulations on the Wee Pea!! Great holiday news indeed!!! :-D :-D
Congrats, peafunks! Such nice news. Great seeing you both again in NYC. Here's to a great 2012!
Babies are the best! Congratulations~
Congrats peafunk on the great news. What a wonderful x-mas present for you and mrs. peafunk! :)
Thanks all! i couldn't have asked for a better holiday gift. :)
@ Woody - love Wee Pea! You may have coined a nickname :thumbsup:
Congratulations Peafunk, that's excellent news! :thumbsup:

Nope, you're wrong. That pic isn't creepy at all.
YO TODD! Congratulations to you and Christie! This is spectacular news. Merry Christmas for sure. So happy for you guys! :thumbsup:
I'll cope with the fact that this likely puts a damper on my hopes of us getting together for O's/Phillies but I'm more concerned with who Stagger is going to play video games with now that you are about to reach fatherhood.
Way to do it, peafunk! :beer:
Congratulations! Great news for the holiday season.
Woooo, congratulations! Looking forward to seeing that lil funky sweet pea.
Wow, Todd! Congrates to you and Christie!! :thumbsup: :)

Good work Peafunk! Get some sleep now, while you can! :beer:
Thank you all so much for the congrats! This forum is full of such amazing peeps :)
@ Rob, that costume is somehow adorable & horrifying at the same time ;D We'll see about the O's vs Phils scenerio. Hopefully it'll work out & I'll still be able to watch the Phils crush the O's with you. I'm not too worried about the loss of gaming time. Stagger found a way to be a poppa & still fit some PS3 action in. It can be done!
@ JY, it was great seeing you at MSG as well! Would it be in bad taste to stamp a newborn with the "Peafunk Creations" logo?
@ vespachick, I run on minimal sleep as it is. Mrs. peafunk, not so much. I have a feeling I'm going to be in charge of taking care of most of the middle of the night wakings. It's all good :thumbsup:
Congratulations Todd and Christie!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 8) Great to know you'll be passing on the LBI love to another generation! Great place for kids in the summer, but I know I don't have to tell you guys that.
Looking forward to seeing you guys down here next time, and with wee pea in tow too. ;)

Having twins, I didn't have a choice in the middle of the night wakings. My wife got one and I got one. I must say, it was quite rough. I remember many a night of watching Insomniac Music Theater on VH1 at 3 am... :D
When our third came along, I only had to do middle of the night diaper changes which I could do in my sleep after the number of diaper changes we went through with our twins so that was cake in comparison to our twins! :)
Not sure if this should be a current joy or complaint:
The joyful part: my brother is home for the holidays from Japan. He's in the Air Force stationed over there. He's staying at my place in Ohio for a few days, then heading back to Iowa with me for the holidays.
So, I'm the ONLY one in the family who knows he's coming home. My family thinks he'll be just taking a few days and going to Thailand on a mini-vacation.
The f*-up: I've almost slipped talking to my mom 3-4 times, telling her about my bro coming home. I'm trying to throw a party for him here in Ohio tonight, so I post on Facebook: "Come on over tomorrow night around 730 to welcome my lil bro to Marietta. Darts, pool, and shenanigans". Oops. My mom calls an hour later, freaking out and asking if Andy (my bro) is coming home. I have to play it off like I'm having a party for "my bro" as in a good friend/my homey. Not sure she believed me, but I think she did ???
I guess either way she'll be happy when we walk in the door on the 24th back in Iowa! I'm trying to decide how far to take this to convince her that he's "really not coming." Have him hide in the airport for awhile, have mom just take me home, only to have a friend drop off my bro 10-15 minutes later...this would be ideal if we didn't live 30 min from the airport...my friend would need to go way out of his way on Christmas Eve Day. We'll see.
Other current joys:
My dog is behaving (better)
I'm getting some Adidas CrazyLite basketball shoes...they are LIGHT, yo.
My car doesn't sound like the wheel is going to fall off anymore, and it only cost me $187
Party at my place tonight :D
This past week has been awfully kickass for me.
Yesterday was my 25th birthday. It just happened to coincide with a VP of the company I work for coming up to Philly and taking me and my team out for a fancy dinner last night. Not everyday that a former 3-star admiral sings happy birthday in a fancy steakhouse for you ;D. I ate the most delicious steak I've ever eaten, a couple really good drinks, and my boss took me out for beers afterwards. Email was down all day at work too so it was a pretty light day in that regard.
Tuesday me and a college buddy went to a sketch comedy show called "The Real Housewives of South Philly". Absolutely hilarious.
Monday was my team's last softball game of the season. We're in a league that's way more competitive than we are, and we didn't win a game all season, but it was fun and everybody on my team was pretty cool. In case you were wondering I batted .750 over the 10 games of the season, with 13 RBI and 4 runs scored. 8)
Oh and I bought a new guitar!

I'd love to see that South Philly RH played out, I saw the Housewives of South Boston on hulu, I was dying...so so gross...

Ruckus is a very wise man! This too is something I never tire of (although it is usually somewhat earlier than 2 am)
Like Hawkeye, I have some good news and am having a hard time keeping it to myself so I'll share here.
My husband and I agreed not to buy each other presents this Christmas since we just got back from NYC and we are going to Hawaii in February. I wasn't able to live up to my end of the bargain - after seeing MMJ at MSG last week I came to the conclusion that my husband needs (yes needs!) a flying v just like Jim James'. It won't arrive in time for Christmas but should be here next Wednesday.
I don't think he'll be too mad that I renegged. ::)

One of my best buddies got married last night, I had a blast. Some of you know him, he played bass for Your Evening Windbreaker at the first Jacketfest, Alan aka kimbosbread
No way! I do remember him. Congratulate him from the forum!
Spent NYE weekend rocking out at the 9:30 club, look over and see Soto Pop (from this forum there). Each night ended up standing beside him. Crazy world of Trucker and MMJ fans.
Happy New Year!
Congrats to everyone's joyousness!!! Happy 2012!! Just wanted to pop on before I forget.... I had an MMJ mix on in the car today, and it's on Acoustic Chorale's Where to Begin... and right as he sings "It's the art of feeling naked.... in your clothes," the ART bus turns into my lane on the road hahahahh ("Asheville Redefines Transit") Had to check and make sure my clothes were still on...... ;) :P
Then just now I queued Can You See The Hard Helmet, and it's #420 on my queue list 8)
Fun Jackety day :) Hope everyone's real good! I hope to catch up on here soon! :-*

One of my best pals is finally back from Afghanistan.
I've got a date on Saturday.
These 2 events are completely unrelated.
I'm not sure if this is a Current Joy or Complaint, but this winter has been unseasonably mild. The temp has rarely dipped below 26-30F; many days the temperature reaches 40-48F. We should be getting temperatures somewhere in the 15-20F range, although for one day last week it was -9F. The online Farenheit converter is great! It should get far colder in February. My complaint is that the mild weather spells disaster for the environment and farmers.

It has been pretty damn nice, It's gonna be 50F today. We are going to get our first measurable snowfall tomorrow 2" - 4". Every day without snow is a bonus to me, especially after all the snow we had last year. It's bizarre seeing motorcycles on the road in January.

People ride bicycles all year round no matter how deep the snow gets in Toronto. There's still plenty of ebikes, scooters and motorcycles on the downtown streets too. I put my bike away around a month ago, but I could still be riding it to work (the roads get slippery in January and the weather can be unpredictable, which isn't good since I'm a work commuter cyclist).
We need cold weather and snow of the summer will be brutal.
Where do you live?
I'm in Elgin, IL about 40 miles northwest of Chicago. I fired up my snowblower 2 months ago expecting it to get a lot of use. I haven't had to use it once. Shit, my lawn still had some green grass in it last week. I can't imagine having to ride a bicycle in the snow and ice and then have to deal with cars on top of that.

There's commuter cyclists and then there's the insane commuter cyclists. I won't ride when the temp dips under 5C. Black ice ain't a friend of anyone on a bike.
Your weather probably is similar to Toronto's, although we are just south of the snowbelt: it hits just north of the city and down to Buffalo (which gets hammered every year). Sometimes we don't get much snow, but two winters ago Toronto and area got over 4 feet. Good thing I sprang for winter tires (but I don't drive my car too much - I walk and take transit and bike as much as possible).
Oh, and the lawns here are very green and some were out golfing on the weekend.

Wow, talk about turning a negative situation into a positive one. How cool. :thumbsup:
(I hope I'm not being insensitive by saying your situation was/is positive. I'm just in admiration of your handling of it.
Nice work, lady. That's some empowering stuff!
That's great! By helping others you will empower yourself. Stay strong, sister.
Just catching up on this thread wanted to make sure I sent congrats and beat wishes to Dan and his new family!

Well, this brings me joy and it's part of their name too: The Joy Formidable @ the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto on April 2nd. Historic venue, but not very big. It's going to be wild and the tix are only $16.50!
Sweet!

I'm happy that tonight I get to go out to dinner at the best steakhouse in Nashville on someone else's dime. Blue cheese stuffed filet mignon, here I come!

Sperrys. The Stockyard is good though. It's been a long time since I've been there. Hubs and I usually try to get to Sperrys a couple of times a year. But tonight a textbook company is taking us out. Fortunately, it's a textbook that we already want to adopt. I always feel awkward when we go to one of those things and then don't give them our business.

Cool, thanks. I'm in Nashville a few times a year; I'll have to check Sperry's out...
So I found this badass app that lets me post from mah droid. Pretty cool stuff. Get ready for tons of stupid posts from yours truly.
Got new these new speakers for my imac, these wimpy built-in speakers finally blew. I wish I would've gotten speakers awhile ago, my listening experience is so much better now. Very decent price too for how good they sound.

It's been one of those weeks. Enjoying a large gin from South London. There will be more than one.
(http://img.dooyoo.co.uk/GB_EN/orig/0/6/2/9/2/629295.jpg)
Oh man, I LOVE Miller's. Tastes like cucumbers and polar ice caps and thunderstorms!
I really need to try this gin. I actually haven't had a drink in 10 days (just haven't felt like it) so this would be a great way to blow out the cobwebs.
didn't have to work today. 3dayweekend wooooooooooooohooo. don't worry workin folks your weekend is a mere hour or two away.
This is the correct answer to all Gin related queries.

It was storming when I woke up this morning. My Westie woke me up; he was tapping me with one of his little paws as if to say, "Hey, pretty lady who gives me the foods, please wake up and pet me because I am escared."
I effin love my dogs. They are so rad. When I had my tonsils out last month and was sobbing from the pain, my Lab would come nuzzle me until I stopped crying.
I was away from my dogs for five days while we went to Gatlinburg. I missed them so much! They're so sweet and loyal.
Finally heard back from all my family (we're scattered across the great state of alabama)--everyone is safe and sound following last night's severe wx!
:)
My grandpop is home from the hospital and doing much better. Long road ahead but the forecast is favorable.
I'm absolutely in LOVE with the guitar I got last month. Having it has made playing that much more enjoyable. I seriously can't believe it's mine
Glad for all the good news above.
I won $95 at a 50/50 raffle Saturday night. Free money = :thumbsup:

Now if i can only get Jim and Patrick alone with me for a couple mins ;)
If your happy and you know it CLAP YOUR MOTHER FUCKIN HANDS!!! :D :D :D
We have this really awful new evaluation model at work. It's very time consuming and doesn't really apply to the way we actually run a classroom. I had to be observed four times this year with two of them unannounced. Today I had my last observation and now I don't have to worry about it any more!!! I feel free!!!

...and in addition to this I just found 2 apartments in Philly in my price range that I hope to check out this week.
...and I met a cool gal a while back and things have been going pretty awesome with her.
...and I'm going to Louisville in July.
Life ain't too bad right about now.

Just wait and see. Nursing boobs are the best until your not nursing any longer, or you get engorged and then it just seems like you are lactating cement. FYI and perhaps TMI: sometimes you will just spray. It's like being a fountain! ;D Get an electric pump.

You know it doesn't take much to make you happy when you log onto the forum and see some of your peeps are also logged on! Hi Crispy ,ewind, ericm! Makes me happy to know we are all in the same place at the same time, intergalactic-ally! Looking forward to seeing everyone in real time! :)
I'm on an indefinite hiatus from drinking. Not sure this is currantly a joy, but I think it'll do me some good. Lately (hell, who am I kidding, the last few years) my life feels like a big blur of work and being shitface wasted. I can barely tell when a week starts and ends anymore. The way my work schedule is set up, its like I have 2 weekends even though its full time. It's getting so tedious that I just can't deal with it anymore. It's also getting me nowhere. Having just turned 30, I think its natural to question where you are in you're life, but I have some things I'm sure I need to do. And none of them will get done if I'm hammered all the time. I'm not trying to "get on the wagon" or anything, but for now I'm just not going to drink at all, help me break the cycle. I have no doubt about doing it, and I don't think i have a hardcore problem with alcohol, its just what people do here (seriously, the WB/Scranton area is the forth largest binge drinking city in America). I guess I put it here because I think if you make positive changes, good things will come.

My congratulations as well. When you work all week, the weekend and other time off is too valuable to waste.
Good for you, Ghosts. You'll feel better and save $$$.

Good luck Dave. You will feel better and save $$.
Thanks guys.

Good point. Young Dave needs to keep a tally. It also depends on his taste. Is he a cheapie drinking Stag beer since a 6er of tall boys is like $2 or does he have a more sophisticated pallete and spends $20 a bottle like some of us.
Oh I can easily drop a bill on a night at the bar.

I don't plan on never drinking again, I just need to break this cycle of just going to work, and then out boozing whenever I'm not working. It's all everyone does around here. But for now I think I should just not drink at all. Find more productive ways to spend my time. So next time you see me at a show with a beer in my hand, don't think "looks like that didnt work out". Its just that in my day to day life, the whole "work, drink, work, drink" thing has gotten old. I need to stir the pot, bring some new experiences into my life. Play more guitar, exercise more, read more books....whatever really. I'm not 21 anymore. Hell, I'm not 20 anything anymore. I'm assuming the next time I have a drink at all will be when i go to sleep no more on Febuary 25th. My tolerance will be so down by then, ill really have to watch i don't get hammered. ;D
More power to ya, man :)
MY BABY IS OK!
We had the hormone levels checked, and baby bean is growing just fine. Looks like I'll be popping a kiddo out around September 25th.
I have never been so happy. I literally hugged the doctor when he gave us the news. Thank you for all the love you sent our way. Y'all are the best.

Glad you're doing well, Meg. :)
Dave, I'm doing the "less drinking" thing too. Pretty much in the same boat you're in, as far as being in the drinking rut/wanting something new/different. Plus, my wife said she'd appreciate it if I quit or cut back while she's pregnant. I didn't have a drop for 9 days after our wedding, but have drank a few times since. I'm not really liking drinking at the moment, at least not more than a few. My tolerance is definitely down!

Hey, Hawkeye has "cut back" on his drinking, not stopped :P And he also expects to mature as little as possible, because everyone already says he's an "old man." :P Case in point: he takes banjo lessons, he drives a Lincoln Continental with hands usually found at the 10 and 2 position on the wheel, he takes frequent naps, he wears slippers a lot...umm, I think that's it. He also enjoys the shallow end of the pool, mostly because he cannot swim too well.
He also expects to stop talking about himself in the 3rd person immediately following this post ;)

I have yet to figure that one out, Crispy. Maybe you need to cool off? Or your all wet?
Penny, there's no need to mature. It's more fun staying young. That may be why I've kept the sense of humor of a six grade boy.

you remind me of Fred...do you own a junkyard and have a thing against Puerto Ricans, too?
(http://intoxreport.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/ripple1.jpg)
My wife may say I own a junkyard ::) She thinks I have hoarding "tendencies" and I am in fact mildly obsessed with the show Hoarders.
But Puerto Ricans, nah, they're ok. I dig their natural Latin fieryness, yet they can also be very laid back, possibly due to being stoned all the time. hell, what do I know I'm from Iowa. But the school I went to did have a large PR population...I guess they recruited heavily there for the baseball team. The baseball players were some of the best "cheerleaders" for the basketball team...they would bring their hand drums to the game and get the crowd all rowdy. :thumbsup:
It is February 1st and it is in the mid-50's (which feels like 70) in NE Ohio! Getting ready to take the dogs for a walk in freaking shorts! :thumbsup: This has been a bizarre winter to say the least but I'm certainly not complaining!
Congrats on The Bean, Meg. It's honestly the best interwebs news I've had in, like, forever. You deserve all the best. :D
Thank you, Mark!

Less than one week til Hawaii - then 8 days of nothing but toes in the sand with umbrella drink in hand! I'll be doing a countdown in my head for the rest of the week.
So I'm hosting a party at the end of the month (FISH TACO FEBRUARY!). We're going to grill and watch Mexican go-go movies and hula hoop and drink lots of nerdy beer and homemade pineapple infused vodka. BUT I just found out we're going to have a little person burlesque performer do an act in which she emerges from a taco.
I am so fucking excited :)

i enjoyed your Sleeping Bear Dunes story.........seeing the picture now, it makes sense..
and that's not even the half of it penny!!
See Lake Michigan?? It seemed soooooo close.....

just a little bit further (with a bathing suit/cover up and NO shoes) not the most well conceived plan
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/319491_2157954039839_1576141689_2147713_4298074_n.jpg)

it was a memorable one for sure.....especially when my friend told me, after we took a dip in the lake, that she lost the keys for the rental car somewhere along the way. Zoinks!
Wow, Trish! That place is really beautiful. But what a walk!
;D ;D ;D
Trish, love the story! (and the pics...omg, so beautiful!)
thanks for the photo story Trish! There's also a dune buggy place near by.....would be a great place for a T5 reunion....

Yeah I use it too. I wanna say it was kotchism that asked CC to make this forum tapatalk friendly. I definitely use it for longer posts and threads. Also, you can go to the settings and change your sig line to not have a phone signature under every post if you so choose. That took me a minute to figure out.
After the warmest winter I can remember , it is snowing 8) in TN! Only downside is that it's on a Sunday before President's Day holiday, thus we aren't getting out of school. >:( Plus, I'm currently marinating a lovely pork tenderloin for Sunday Dinner. Food is always a joy - I wouldn't be Big Fully if it wasn't.
Getting my relax on in Siesta Key, FLA & knocking back several of these. Good times 8)

My current joy is that I'm going to get my fireplace back on Wednesday! After having a chimney fire (contained to our chimney thank god) last spring that damaged our liner, we have gone all winter waiting to have it repaired. We decided to go with a wood burning insert because they put out more heat and are more efficient than just burning wood in our fireplace. I can't wait to have the warmth that thing will be putting off and watching our gas bill drop! :thumbsup:
At least this winter has been mild as hell. We picked a good winter to be without a fireplace! 8)

Strange...
Last night I fell asleep with the TV on. At some point in the morning a P90X infomercial was playing, but it became intertwined in my dream. In real life I have plans on Friday with a college pal, but in my dream the plans were postponed until I finished the P90X program. ;D

That's great. You should be sore. I can't do at home videos, so I joined a CrossFit club to get some strength training in addition to all of the cardio I do. If you find yourself lacking motivation at home, I'd look into CrossFit. If you are the motivated type, more power to you!
Life's been pretty f'n awesome the last few months! 1st was news of baby peafunk, then we closed on our 1st home on Tuesday, & today I was given a promotion (with a decent raise that will help with all the new home bills)! I be a happy dude :beer:

I had the P90X program given to me maybe 2-3 years ago...still never jumped into it. I've tried 3 or 4 of the different workouts, telling myself I would build up a baseline with those and then start the full program, but it never happened. Still want to try it sometime. It just HAS to work I think...it's a hard-ass workout and if you follow the meal plan, I don't see how you could not be in much better shape after 90 days, if you're really working at it. good luck!

Also tell Stagger I've seen him shirtless and he doesn't need P90X like I do. Look for me in the next round of infomercials starting in April.

I must admit that I got into an argument with someone on fb this weekend that I didn't know because I've been so incensed about his comments to Sandra Fluke. He loves to say horrific things and then it's all ok because he apologized? Perhaps if his behavior changed, then it would be sincere. But it isn't going to change. He just wants to keep his advertisers at this point.

Is this latest thing really opening many eyes about this fool? People who are surprised by his reprehensible behavior must not have been paying attention. The folks that like what he says are still going to like him and his nonsense, and sadly, that's a lot of people.
I first read this the wrong way, of course thinking about Tracy's and Ruckus's RUSH. From now on I will only associate the word with reference to the band when it is in uppercase.

Many of his sponsers/advertisors are dropping him quickly this time. AOL just announced today they are as well. I'm really hoping this is the end of him. I do not remember them doing that to this extent when he got in trouble for drugs and his ladies of the night when he would vacation in the Dominican Republic.

omg wait, i think i found that one first, and then i found the original one. I must have linked the wrong one, but that was interesting, wasn't it? More Keanu in the original.
Trish, it looked like it was from a movie. I wonder what movie it was? At first I thought the video had captions underneath it. It said, "Is he cheating?" Then I realized that it was an advertisement. I have to admit that the idea that those people had a dramatic storyline made me want to see whatever movie that was from, although perhaps it doesn't have the storyline I thought it did.
I felt kind of stupid after I realized it was an ad :embarassed: ;D

Oh man....to think we have spent so much time today on Paula Abdul is kind of a joy :thumbsup:
Yesterday was shitty. I had to go to the hospital due to some pregnancy complications. It was terrifying, but I am pleased to report that the bb and I are just fine.
I had another ultrasound yesterday, and it was one of the happiest moments of my life. I saw my little, 11-week-old baby kicking and squirming. I saw my baby's tiny arms and legs flail about; the ultrasound tech said it was hard to get an accurate number for the heart rate, as baby apparently had the hiccoughs. I wish I could describe to you how I felt when I first heard that heartbeat...
(Obviously) I've known that I am pregnant for a while, but in that moment yesterday, it became so real to me. I didn't know it was possible to love so much.
And, in other bb news, I have been losing way too much weight. My doctor told me I can eat whatever I want. That's a diet to which I can adhere!

OH MEG CONGRATS THAT ALL IS WELL!!! I can only imagine........... how beautiful!! What blessings it all is!! I'm glad you and the little one are A-OK! Life is such a miracle! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
And I'm just thrilled beyond thrilled to have a weekend off after tomorrow (a whole weekend!) and to see temps in the 70s alllll next week almost brings a tear to my eye :) (of joy... a joyous tear) Flowers blooming everywhere... full moon.... Asheville & her mountains in Spring glory.... and I just found out one of my best friends since 7th grade is getting married this summer! (One down off the old 'never-getting-married' troupe :-X) Hahah but she's thrilled, and they're having a pretty unconventional wedding, which is sweet-- and renting a lodge on a lake for a few days to party down in July!!
Great things, great things..... :-D

A friend of mine posted this the other day on Facebook. My only response...This is what the internet was invented for.
So a few weeks ago straightline winds destroyed our pergola that we had Chinese Wisteria growing over it. The last few years it's been so gorgeous when it blooms that people actually stop. We actually had a lady stop today and beg that we not cut it down to fix the pergola. Well, this is what I did today with my wife and FIL. Wisteria is pretty hard to kill and we built this new one in such a way that we didn't have to cut any of the wisteria. This damn this is massive.

It looks like you had a very productive day. Please post a picture when it blooms. I'd love to see what it looks like then. My mother-in-law is named Wista, for what it's worth.

Must smell really nice under that arbor! Nice red bud too!
Good eye bluesky!! Yeah, we have several redbuds too. The whole patio is surrounded by grapevines also. It smells unbelievable until about June when the flowering stops. A lot of times I just sit out there and breath in the sweet smell. Who needs drugs to calm down, just sit on my patio.

I read that as Goodbye, blue sky at first ;D . Redbuds are my favorite tree. Does the wisteria attract lots of butterflies? It looks glorious. How long does it bloom? I don't think I would spend any free time inside when it was bloomin' if I had such a sight in my yard. It's just beautiful.

Blooms for a couple weeks. Then it turns into an evil plant that tries to take over. The redbud in that pic was dying when we moved in because the previous owners let the wisteria take over. This is what the area looks like when it's done blooming (and I've cleaned up the mess from the petals).

I'm happy because the weather gets warmer. I can't wait for spring!!! There are so many great things you can do when the weather is better... I mean I like skiing and skating on the ice... but I also love biking and sailing! I already visited my florist in bradford (http://www.serenataflowers.com) who makes me my flower arrangements for every season and I found already the ones I want for Eastern!

There's a setting you can change in your forum profile, where you add hours to the default to reflect local time. Go to "Profile", then "Account Settings". Under "Modify Profile", choose "Look and Layout". You'll see "Time Offset" and might try the "auto-detect".
Or get a watch. ;)
Catered lunch....world class BBQ. I have enough cleaned off rib bones to make a necklace...something like a Polynesian Headhunter would wear.....coma is kicking in....might need Lipator....drool....zzzz
The wisteria is starting to bloom!! It survived the build. Pics to follow soon. It's supposed to be cool and rainy the next day but warm again by Sunday which will help.
The bell just rang, the students left, and spring break has started. Listening to "One Big Holiday" to celebrate! :D

Mega Millions Lottery tickets are bought. We pooled our money at work and got a shit load of tickets. I'm not a very lucky person when it comes to gambling so I think I'm overdue. How things in my life would change if I won a portion $ 540,000,000.
1. Hygiene would no longer be a priority.
2. Stay at my job and be a complete douche to my bosses until they fired me. Yes I would collect un-employment. Who can turn down the government cheese.
3. Use my 1994 Honda Accord with 168,000 miles as target practice.
4. Buy Will Smiths Motor Coach and invite my forum peeps to join me on tour with my favorite band.
5. Buy 2 homes in S. Carolina, A log cabin in the mountains and a Beach House in Myrtle Beach. For my wife to be near her family.
6. Send my daughter to the finest schools.
Money might not be able to buy happiness but it sure would decrease the amount of arguments I have with my wife.
Damn how thoughtful of you to put us before your daughters education :)
Also, speaking of rich people and government cheese, have you ever seen the clip of Ol Dirty Bastard showing up in a limo and a suit to collect his welfare check? Priceless.

You guys make it easy to want to share and invest in this place. Good people, great friends, a common love of the best band currently makin' the circuit. I CANNOT wait for July!!! I will see damn near all of you then and we will have a blast!
I scheduled an appointment for the big "gender reveal" ultrasound on May 11th.

Spent an awesome weekend down in Birmingham. Thanks to Seth (Scosby) for showing me around and JP (EasyRyder) made it out to the Truckers show. While in line, we met a bunch of excited Roll Call members pumped for Forecastle (one of which is a member here, Sonvolt-he doesn't post much). We spent hours talking about Jim and New Multitudes and would they or wouldn't they play Forecastle and Newport FF. Very good times --hanging with music friends in a new city. If you're ever in Birmingham, check out THE FISH MARKET---a block from the venue (WorkPlay) and seafood is terrific.
time to re-group, get to see BRUCE tonight with Headhunter and ericm!!
I had the best 3 day weekend that I can remember. My older brother and his family came over from Luxembourg. My little brother just finished four years of teaching English in Seoul and came home. It was the 1st time that our entire family, my sister in law, niece, nephew and my girlfriend were all together in 6 years. The best part was my 9 year old niece discover my turntable while I was spinning Be The Void while cooking. She had no idea what it was as a girl that grew up on ipods and ipads. It was a pure joy to watch my older brother explain to her what it did and how it works. I let her flip the record and restart it. :)

I love Sunday grand slam golf. Was rooting for Phil but after the debacle on 4 it was tough. Birdies on 13-16 then the great hook from the straw with the wedge. Awesome to watch Bubba turn that top hand over to get that turn and spin.

Except for the dog and the lil brother, I'd love to trade places with you until Sept. Although, I think you will get a great deal out of the little brother, perhaps as much as he will. We adopted a daughter from foster care about two years ago. While it can be a challenge, it is also fulfilling knowing that we are giving this child a better life than what she was facing. However, sometimes I have to remind myself not to get discouraged.

I had the best 3 day weekend that I can remember. My older brother and his family came over from Luxembourg. My little brother just finished four years of teaching English in Seoul and came home. It was the 1st time that our entire family, my sister in law, niece, nephew and my girlfriend were all together in 6 years. The best part was my 9 year old niece discover my turntable while I was spinning Be The Void while cooking. She had no idea what it was as a girl that grew up on ipods and ipads. It was a pure joy to watch my older brother explain to her what it did and how it works. I let her flip the record and restart it. :)

This is great! Thanks Fully. I'm not a fan of Ricky Fowler but the rest are classic. I'm stealing this one.
It's nice to see a Mahan and Fowler, a couple of OSU guys, in the video. There are a lot of young guns on the tour now.

What??? Is it his dapperness or general whiteness that makes you uncomfortable? ;D
I used to be pretty indifferent about him. My cousin has played with him and done a commercial with him and he says he a pretty good dude. Plus, he was one of the first ones out there to congratulate Bubba. I always like to see that, regardless of who wins.

I posted about this guy a while back. A Gulf Coast legend that passed away recently. Great surf footage, and Pensacola Beach footage.
dork alert - If you've been in this area and needed beach supplies, you've probably been to his store - Innerlight Surf Shop. I have a few Innerlight stickers that I was going to send to Jim after hearing "First Light" (my own innerlight). Anyway, I never got around to sending them, so if for some reason anyone would like one, let me know.
Wow Jon, that's some video!! Almost teared up a few times there.. I wish I would've seen that shop! I love the retro font on the surf board for the shops sign 8) I do remember you posting something about him awhile back.
Coincidentally, I was coming in here to post about a retreat in Hawaii that I'm considering going to this December.... if the stars align. I've been opting out of show after show and started a savings account and have big dreams to make it to Hawaii this year. (or, well, soon.) And this retreat just happens to be with one of my biggest spiritual influences, Ram Dass; and it's right before the big date 12-21-12. Making me want to be out there in early December for the retreat and stay out there until the 23rd or so.... we'll see! Two stars have been aligning so far......... I know wherever I'm meant to Be, I'll Be

Well, its been about 5 months since Stormie used up her 9th life, so today Michele brings home our newest family member, an 11-week old female kitten. I've no idea what it looks like, but hope to post an impossibly cute photo soon. I enjoyed the months not dealing with food and litter box, but think the presence of new life in our home will bring joy to our little clan.
Meow.

Whoa...I go on like a 5 month hiatus and there is a little peafunkster coming soon, Hawkeye is getting hitched and also has a little poop machine on the way, and Meg is pregalicious!! Congrats to you all!! :D :beer:
Um, well I guess I havent had any revelations while Ive been gone but my hair has grown longer somehow, I started working out again but still havent succumbed to my hatred for cardio, and for all I know there could be 3 little capt.'s on the way, one would be half black, but I havent heard anything so Im probably in the clear, right? :-X
Oh, and Ive been in the catering business (pizza delivery) for about 6 months now. Im like Tony Stewart on the delivs, fastest in the Burgh and certainly at my shop, but I started complaining about getting screwed on hours (I would show up 5 minutes late but boss marks it as half hour late...I leave 10 minutes early but gets marked as 30 minutes early...and if were ever still there after close because there is a late rush and we still need to clean up, we dont get paid for it), so yeah, I wasnt cool with not getting paid for the hours I was there and made it known. Well, a couple other drivers are asskissers so he's been giving them my good shifts for a few weeks now. Then last friday, they made me go to another store 20 miles away because they were short a driver (not my problem). To top it off, whoever starts first is supposed to leave first, but today Im scheduled 11am -11pm (close) while 2 drivers get there after me yet are scheduled to leave at 8pm and 9pm. With game 2 of Pens-Flyers tonight, fat chance of that happening.
So long story short, I quit on the spot today a couple hours ago. First time Ive ever left a job without putting in my 2 weeks first or getting fired. Let me tell you, its feels soo damn AWESOME!!! :bath:

Those are fucking sweet! I need a new pair of DMs. My last ones are 18 years old and still kicking. (Although they are finally falling apart.) I've never had shoe soles last more than 2-3 years I guess because of the way I walk, but these babies lasted 18 (10 years of regular wear). You inspired me, I'm getting new ones in the fall for sure.
Saw Jim today in a park while walking a dog. I was wearing my roll call shirt. I felt like a dork. It was awesome.
Got my fix of some college football yesterday as I took the fam up to Ann Arbor to take in the Michigan Spring Game and then spent the afternoon tooling around A2 including wetting my whistle at the Ann Arbor Brewing Co. which has some tasty suds on tap!

I was never opposed to having cats, just allergic to them and I was always a dog person. My wife on the other hand was kind of the opposite of me, always a cat person and not opposed to dogs, just never had any. I had a dog when we first started dating and she had 2 cats that I was extremely allergic to. But I guess I kind of developed an immunity to being allergic to cats because after we moved in together I was no longer allergic to cats. Her 2 cats have since passed away but in the last 2 years we have added 3 new feline additions to our family. Two are sisters (Beezus and Ramona)that came from a pumpkin farm/petting zoo in Amish country who my daughters would not let us leave without and they are the cutest things. And then, last fall came Reesie (colors of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup) who, once again, my daughters had to rescue from a neighbor of my mother-in-law's. I have to admit, I have become quite the cat person myself! :)
I just gave an oral presentation in my Spanish class for my final about music festivals. My teacher (who is my favorite professor ever, and has taught me more Spanish this year than all my other teachers combined) freaked out and hugged me and told me she was so proud of me in front of the whole class. Since my major is Spanish and everything, it made me really happy and feel good. I'm riding high on that interaction on my last day of class.
And it was my last day of class save one test next week.
Way to go, Eric!
2.5 hours to go until spring break! Wish it could be like spring break in 2010... 5 days, 4 nights, 3 MMJ shows! That was a good week! Birmingham>Nashville>Atlanta. Eminance Front intro > OBH! Friends Again! Met scosby2, aMD, flyguy/Jones, Crispy, aLady, megalicious, and tons of others too numerous to recall.

She actually told me that I was the worst and most nervous at first, but have improved the most (all the while holding me in front of the whole class). I responded with "you aren't really helping the nervous situation". I'm sure I looked like a tomato cause I hate being in front of people as is

After i gushed at how awesome New York is after the T5 trip its only fair that the missus gets to experience it for herself. Im sure there will be some great gigs on while we're there but nothing specific at this point. We're doing a Twin Peaks pilgrimage while in Seattle and then end up at Bridge Benefit at the end of the trip.
The ultimate dream is that our travel paths cross any MMJ, Pearl Jam or Crazy Horse gigs that may announce for around that time...

In absolutely no particular order.... each of these is equally superb :bath:
-Having a good friend visit Asheville yesterday and catching a great show at a beautiful outdoor venue
-Seeing the most gigantic rainbow I've ever seen and almost crying at its beauty and perfection (before said show began, at said outdoor venue, with said friend)
-Sleeping in
-Waking up to the most beautiful morning since Spring.... a perfect briskness in the air, beautiful sun and fluffy clouds
-Sitting on the back porch of my country home sipping tea and watching the butterflies land on the butterfly bush and the birds doing their fun things hopping around and singing...
-Making a delicious hearty breakfast listening to David Crosby
-Deciding where to go on this PERFECT day.... to Blue Ridge Parkway, or not to Blue Ridge Parkway, that is my question......
Aaaahhh Life Life Life........
Oh here's that rainbow I was talking about :smiley:

I love your avatar Fully! I've seen that video and I find it to be very bizarrre, for a number of reasons One being batman, spiderman and iron man doing hoochie mama dances at a kids party. Definitely falls into the its-so-bad-its-good category. Plus a real super hero would never dance like that...
Current joys
1. Talking to my 4 year old about his pre-k class
2. Listening to music with my husband (sans kids)
3. The change in season toward fall
4. The latest Beach house album, Bloom

I love your avatar Fully! I've seen that video and I find it to be very bizarrre, for a number of reasons One being batman, spiderman and iron man doing hoochie mama dances at a kids party. Definitely falls into the its-so-bad-its-good category. Plus a real super hero would never dance like that...
Current joys
1. Talking to my 4 year old about his pre-k class
2. Listening to music with my husband (sans kids)
3. The change in season toward fall
4. The latest Beach house album, Bloom

Thank you very much, mam! Also, your current joys sound like the best things in life to me. I miss my children being that age. In fact, I don't think there's anything more enjoyable than talking to a young child about anything. :thumbsup:
My current joy is that I'm going to spend three days in Port Chester with my Jacket family! Seeing my favorite band AND spending three days with all of you will be one of the best things about the holidays. I love it when I have something like this to look forward to.

HOT !!! His hair was having it's own show at the greek on Saturday. Incredible!
Late nights blaring Bruce Springsteen are always something to be joyful about.
Just got the word my daughter's externship will be over by 12/21, so it looks promising that her, and my future son-in- law will be joining us in Port Chester on 12/27! :grin:
Great news Eric!
Current joys - booked our tickets to New Zealand. We leave 6 weeks from today. Woot!

Lol. He's a really great guy, and like a son already. He's a big music fan and totally gets my Jacket fandom. This will be his first show, and if I know him, not his last. :thumbsup:
Last weekend in LBI, NJ before we close my family's beach house for the winter. I absolutely love it when the island is sparsely populated. It's incredibly relaxing :beer:

Today we finished a week of state-mandated standardized tests. I'm very relieved to be done with it. Whatever grades my students make on it (and thus my grade as an effective teacher if I believe their secret formula mumbo jumbo and the validity of their tests) is now completely out of my hands until next semester when an entirely different crop of students takes them. I suppose relief and joy are similar enough, eh?

Don't you just love what Dubyah did for education in this country?
I know you've probably mentioned it before on here, but what grade do you teach? My wife teaches 4th grade and they are a key grade for one of many Ohio state mandated tests and they happen every spring so they get to spend the whole year basically teaching to the test?! :rolleyes:

I teach sophomore and senior lit. My tenth grade scores along with the Algebra II scores are what form the entire school's growth score. We have to show adequate yearly progress. I have some doubts that the test is even an accurate measure or a fair test. The practice test typically has several poorly written questions on it along with several questions where one could make a good argument for another answer than the one the test prep company says is correct even though all the teachers I know disagree with it. We aren't allowed to see the actual test that is given to the kids because we can't be trusted or the testing company is hiding the fact that the test has bad questions on it. The tests count 25 percent of a student's final grade, and with stakes that high for a kid, they really ought to be accurate.
Don't get me started.

I'm beginning to imagine that you will soon be writing slash fanfiction about that embrace. It's ok, we all have our secret vices. :grin: (If you don't know what that is, go to fanfiction.net and look up stuff labeled as slash. The GNR Slash has nothing to do with it, by the way) Oh, gosh, I think I'm going to have to go write it now :evil:

I'm genuinely happy about the holidays. I just can't wait for the cheesy xmas sweater party. Or getting to volunteer at Families Feeding Families. And getting to make some coquito. If you don't know coquito is, take this as a warning of possible addiction. :beer:
I'm meeting up with a friend who I haven't seen in twenty-six years today for lunch. And yesterday I went out to lunch with some girls who graduated high school last year. It was fun catching up with them, but it's always neat to see how they've grown and changed in just a semester of college. Also, my youngest daughter woke up this morning with black magic marker on her eyebrows for some reason. She looked just like Groucho Marx. She kills me.
The year that I truly believed was the worst year of my life has really turned a corner the past few months. I am so, so grateful for all of the good things that have been coming my way. I was at a pretty low point during the northeast trifecta shows this summer and the wonderful people that are my MMJ family (and my real family, ynwa) were amazingly supportive and really helped me get through a difficult time. I can't wait to see you all next week in Port Chester and give you all big hugs!! :smiley:

Just found out Alice in Chains have a new album coming out this spring. Which means tour. Which means I'll be spending some quality time with Jerry Cantrell in 2013!
Sorry I haven't been posting in a while.
Current joy: I'm off work for a few weeks so I can hang out at home and eat lots of Christmas ham, watch The Hobbit and read all the books piling up on my bedside! Oh and wait with eager anticipation for that Soundgarden video clip Dave Grohl is directing.
A rare night out with Michele. A delicious meal (duck!) and beer, then to Symphony Hall for... Louis CK!

Well I don't so much know where best to post this, but current joys seems appropriate :smiley: It's been one year today (well, 1/23) since my friend Jimmy was found; and I just really wanted to reiterate my thanks to you ALL for your gracious and sweet thoughtfulness during such a challenging time-- It will echo back to me forever!

I've been kinda down for the last week or so because of an ended relationship, but for some reason I woke up today feelin' good, and plus have all this stuff to look forward to:
Maybe Jim in Nashville
Vacation with my friends in a couple months
Pearl Jam announces the Chicago show, and promises there will be more shows
Wilco at that fest in Ohio
plus, I'm going international this year: Guatamala in June to build a school and honor a friends memory, and then Europe possibly with 2 friends for the hell of it (depending on how much money I can save).
Good times ahead.

One man's joy is another's pain. Remember Rob Base and DJ EzyRock's immortal wisdom.
So for those that actually remember and remember moi, I was planning to run the Goofy Challange at Disney. Boom muthafuckas. This happened 2 weeks ago and it was a blast (and hard but mostly a blast). Got to meet up with Rowan/KY Kid/Flyguy who also ran it. He's a heck of a guy and hella better runner than I.

Uh, the statement about superior intellect may be true. But his memory is not so superior. He fed the dog and then asked me about 15 minutes later"If I(meaning crazylove)had fed the dog?!" Guess that's the kinda stuff that happens after being married to me for 25 years! :grin:
Congrats Crazylove and Teo!! Quarter century is pretty impressive. :cool: :thumbsup: So glad you guys are going strong, and all the happy things happening for you.
Looking forward to seeing you two again sometime this summer. It wouldn't be the same if we missed this one after spending some great fun times together the past two. I'll see what I can do about the box fan, and straw hat, but I'll leave the machete to Teo. :wink:
Have a great anniversary,and many, many more. :beer:

Happy VD Beth. Thanks for cracking me up!!
My winter break begins... now! Well deserved week vacation following our Winter Carnival week at the high school where I teach... and co-advise the freshman class. You can imagine... Looking forward to getting together with some pals from high school and college days this weekend, no wives or kids. We might try paintball, but with another snowstorm coming, we'll probably just stay in and drink hard. Some things never change! :evil: :beer: :wink:
Just booked a flight to Guatemala. So my summer is probably complete $ wise, and is looking like
Jim cbus, Jim Nashville, Jim louisville, shaky knees, NOLA, forecastle, Guatemala. Pumped.
As some of you know, my "accelerated 2nd degree" nursing program of 16 months actually took me 40 months due to various roadblocks - although had I not had 1 roadblock, I would not have been able to be at the T5 run, so I think everything happens for a reason. Graduated in December, and on Tuesday took my state boards exam. I felt confident going in, but by the time it was done, I didnt feel like I did very well. Its pass/fail, and when the test shuts off for you at a question between #75-#265, it doesnt tell you your result. I had around 120 questions, and it shut off after a question I didnt feel good about. I felt so uneasy about it, I could barely even enjoy my stop at the Dogfish Head Alehouse. Driving home for almost 5 hours afterwards didnt help either.
After a few torturous days of not knowing if I passed or failed, found out today Im officially a registered nurse in VA (and 23 other states across the US of A).

Congrats, man! Although I have not personally gone through that, I FEEL like I have...being married to (and dating in the past( several RN's). :beer:
Thanks Hawkeye! Got my certificate of licensure in the mail yesterday!!

Thanks Yac! No, I dont have a job locked up, but Im focusing on Norfolk/VA Beach area. If not there, Wilmington, NC or Charleston or Myrtle, SC. Im hoping to go coastal.
I haven't posted in far too long. No real reason, I suppose I just needed a break. Since I was last here, I moved to Nashville, started dating one of my best friends from my hometown, moved to Denver, got back into school, rode my bicycle from Denver to Michigan, and am getting married this summer! Life has a funny way of working out and after this board being such a big part of things (regardless of that feeling like it was a lifetime ago), I feel like I should try to reconnect. Hope everyone is doing well.

Clarence looks so sweet. I have a fighter fish named Clarence after Clarence White. He's not half as cute as that puppy though.
Clarence is a cutie! Looks like he's going to get a little bigger judging from those paws. :cool:

He's named after the Big Man Clarence Clemons. :cool: my daughter is a big Bruce fan ( I wonder how that happened :wink: ) and the two of us were also at CC's last time on stage when he guested with Furthur.
When she got the pup she said he's going to be a big man, and calling him Clarence just fit perfectly all the way around. :thumbsup:

I'm very proud of my wife, who got a job offer that proves what I already knew - she is great at what she does (PhD toxicologist). Now, we have to decide if we want to move from NH to Iowa... :undecided:

Congratulations, Yac! You must be really proud of her! I hope whatever happens is what you both want.
Its official! Michele accepted the job at the State Hygienic Laboratory in Coralville, Iowa! I have resigned my teaching position effective end of the school year. We are putting our house on the market, preparing to sell, give away, or throw out half our belongings, and head to Iowa this summer.
The most common response from friends, family, and colleagues?
"Does My Morning Jacket go to Iowa?"
Not since Jim fell off the stage, they don't. HA!
Looks like I'll be 3-4 hours from a lot of cool places, so I hope to see many of you in Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Omaha, or Milwaukee, if not Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, or Des Moines. All that flatness should do wonders for my gas mileage, eh?
I will miss my Northeast/Southeast forum pals, but I'm sure some event will bring us together... eventually.
Oh, and I'll still be hanging around here from time to time.
Wow, Johnny, that's a huge change, I hope it all goes well for you guys, best of luck. And I'll be seeing you more often at Midwestern US MMJ shows!
Good luck with a smooth move to the midwest Yac! Now that she's making the big bucks maybe you can squeeze in even more MMJ shows :wink:
Congratulations, John! Iowa should be awesome!
Congrats to you and your family YAC, I'll be seeing you around my parts for some shows :beer: I think your about 3 hours from me. If you have an over abundance of MMJ posters and memorabilia you can't take in the big move I'll gladly take them off your hands as a favor :thumbsup: :drum:
Congrats, John (and family). Good luck with the house-selling! Looks like I'm headed back to the midwest this year myself so maybe you, Tater and I can three-some it at a show somewhere in the flatlands. Tater's treat. As far as MMJ, if you build it, they will come. (um..so start building something?)

Thanks for the well wishes. :smiley:
Hey John, great news! Best of luck to all of you. Hope the kids adjust easily. Just keep rockin' with them!!
Here's to new beginnings. We all need them! :beer:
Hey John, good luc with all of the details and Mrs. HH and I wish you good health, happiness and music in all of your future endeavors. I know we still have many shows ahead of us together but know that you always have a NY place to stay if you want to travel back east for some future epic series of shows.
Geez, losing Yac and Penny Lane from the east coast in the same summer is the biggest loss since the Dodgers left Brooklyn for the West Coast!
Penny Lane movin' away too?
Good luck with the move John and all the new endeavours that come your way. :smiley:

Sorry, not to derail your move convo, but I got approved this week to become a full-time telecommuter so probably after August I'll be leaving NYC. Not exactly sure yet but probably will head to Ohio and then maybe end up in GA (East Nashville would be awesome, too). We shall see. Very sad to leave the northeast MMJ crew as we've got a great group. (..But happy that I'll be closer to some others, such as TEO and Crazy, possibly Fully, if I can handle her..)
and PS--this will free up a lot more travel funds for shows, so in the end, you'll still see me everywhere :cool:
double PS--I'll be driving a CAR, too! Way excited about that. Haven't had one in 10 years...stay off the sidewalks! I've got a lead foot and bad eyesight (but will have great bumper stickers--Todd Snider rules will be my first)..

CRUUUUUUUUUUNCH(Car mirror sideswipes the ticket taker as we're pulling out of the GALT parking lot.)

Yac moving to Iowa and Penny moving to Ohio...both my old stomping grounds. Good luck in your new homes!
Dont ask me why a hospital will offer you a job and let you accept it before doing a background and reference check, but I found all that came back good today so its official!! I'll join Yac and Penny in the relocation crew, moving to Virginia Beach on friday!
Also got the Ben Harper show in DC tomorrow night! Havent seen him live in 5yrs, and the new album is his best in at least 15yrs, IMO. Cant wait.

Side note: I was looking to post a video of Movin' Away and came across this. Check out the record label...
Kenny Lynch - movin away [HMV] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU7G8avB0Eo#)
Wanted to add my best wishes to all the movers as well! I hate moving. My last move came pre-children and was just across town (had to get a bigger house when we found out we were doubling the size of our family :cheesy:). I can't imagine trying to move now with all of the things our children have accumulated to add to all of the things us adults have accumulated, let alone having to move halfway across the country. Hats off to you John! :beer:
Penny, what part of Ohio are you moving to? If you happen to make it back to the thriving metropolis of Wooster ever, give me a shout out! :beer:

from wifeYYac's Facebook page... Lauren is our 4 year old daughter; Matt is my wife's brother who has spina bifida.
"So...Lauren was looking at a picture of my whole family at our wedding, and she asked about Uncle Matt.
Lauren: Why is Uncle Matt in that wheelchair?
me: Because he can't walk. He was born that way.
Lauren: Mom, everyone is born that way."

I actually cried tears of joy when I saw this email. :smiley:
My wife's new employer, the Iowa State Hygienic Laboratory, just approved covering the full expense of our move from NH, requiring a second truck to shuttle everything to the street from our current house (see driveway picture below), packing included (gotta keep those MMJ posters safe!)...
$11,154.45

I got introduced to Wolf People when I was hanging out at Chez Ruckus before the Deer Tick show in Baltimore the other night. Really great stuff, jealous you guys are getting to see them.
And Crispy, that's great about Patty Griffin. I had a front row seat for her show here in June, and it was sublime.
The truck, well, I think I need a ride in that bad boy to fully appreciate it.

That truck might be nice to take to a drive-in or the lake. Do you have a large dog to ride in the back? If not, you know it's required. Also, Whippy could come to Philly... You know what that say about men who come to Philly....big cheesesteak sandwiches.

That truck might be nice to take to a drive-in or the lake. Do you have a large dog to ride in the back? If not, you know it's required. Also, Whippy could come to Philly... You know what that say about men who come to Philly....big cheesesteak sandwiches.
It is a good drive-in pickup! Now I need to find a good love seat to go in the bed. I do have a big black lab who rides back there, you can see him in that pic I posted in the Cain's show thread, snoozing on the floor.
Yep, Whippy totally needs a big cheese steak.

I got introduced to Wolf People when I was hanging out at Chez Ruckus before the Deer Tick show in Baltimore the other night. Really great stuff, jealous you guys are getting to see them.
And Crispy, that's great about Patty Griffin. I had a front row seat for her show here in June, and it was sublime.
The truck, well, I think I need a ride in that bad boy to fully appreciate it.

That's what he said.
I'd love to join you guys in Philly for Wolf People, but Flake and I have tickets to see Neutral Milk Hotel at The National in Richmond that night. Those tix are will call only, so if we don't go I eat them, so we will probably stick with that plan.
Wish I could see you on your venture eastward, Crispy.
Also, I've actually never in my life had a cheese steak. I went vegetarian before me and a cheese steak ever crossed paths.

Neutral Milk Hotel! You would be kicked out of the Cool Kids Club if you skipped that for Wolf People! Their show here isn't until February I think, and it won't be preempted for anything. I will be going to Wolf People's NYC show the next night!
Cheese steaks, meh. Ruckus, J, and Dan will be leading us to better food options! Still meaty, though, I'm afraid.
Had a dream about The Jacket. I became a member and everyone in the band knew I sucked and couldn't play, but Jim stuck up for me during an interview. He acknowledged I couldn't play but I brought something special to the band he could explain. I think I was the tambourine player and still somehow sucked at it.
I might have my old job back. Im so happy I could cry. I was foolish when I quit a couple of months ago thinking the grass was greener or the other side of the fence. I had lirterally jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

The Tribe is in the post season for the first time since 2007. The Browns are 2-0 since trading Trent Richardson and inserting hometown boy Brian Hoyer at QB. And the Stillers are 0-4 for the first time since ths 60's! It's been a good Sunday!!! :beer:

I sort of know where youre at. I relocated for a job and lost it after only a couple months, almost 3 months ago, because of a mistake I made. Despite my manager advocating to keep me on, ultimately it was out of her hands. Pretty much was my dream job/location to land after graduation, so the last few months have probably been the hardest of my life. Having extreme difficulty even getting a response to the 60+ applications I've filled out - probably heard back from maybe 5-7? - didnt make it easier. I was worried Id have to move for about the 5th time in 5 years (previously because of off and on school) because I couldnt afford to not have a job any longer as I needed my parents to help out with rent and expenses for September and October, but luckily I finally landed something and officially got the job today! Downside is its about an hour commute, but upside is a nice relaxing drive 1/3 of which is going over the Chesapeake Bay and increased hours/shift differential/weekend differential compared to my previous job totally covers tolls and gas costs, and most importantly I dont have to move from Virginia Beach.
So, finally landed my new job today. Pirates in the playoffs for the first time in 20 years 1 game playoff is tonight...Come on lord, keep the good vibes coming, please.

Didnt see your thoughts on the Trent trade in the NFL thread, but what did you think of it?
Of course, hard to say until you see how the pick pans out - and how high of a pick it is.

My older sister celebrated the same 5-year anniversary a couple of years ago. I don't think we really have a tears of joy emoticon on this thing, so I'll just limit this to words. So happy for you and your family.

Great news Eric - that's made my weekend!
Insignificant current joy compared to Eric's; Huey (from the Fun Lovin' Criminals) has moved to a new radio show on Saturday mornings at 10am GMT on BB6 Radio 6.
So far today he's played White Denim, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, The National, and a host of other great tunes. It's making Saturday morning in the office a little easier to deal with.

1) My wife just got a job that will put at least an extra $1k per month in our pockets, between her raise and what we are saving by going to part time daycare!!! Woohoo!
2) My daughter is ridiculously fun to play with at this age (15 months).
3) I am in audio nirvana with my new speakers and headphones.
Life is good!
It will be better next Monday, when I can drink again! I caught a virus that makes your liver work extra hard, so drinking is a no-no. Should be cleared on Monday! Only had 3 drinks since this started on October 11. :beer:

Yes, that child has been raised well.
today marks one year since my wife and i moved to germany with our two dogs (for animal lovers: they flew in the cabin with us). the twenty hours of moving were a struggle, but every second since - has been amazing.
now, it appears as though we will be headed back stateside in six-months time. we have been fortunate enough to have traveled throughout europe and will spend the next half year enjoying the time we have left.
seeing mmj in köln before we move back will be the icing on the kick ass cake.
current joy = life
that's awesome!
my current joy: I got an iPhone 6 last night after having an iPhone 3 for the last 3-4 years. so far it is incredible. Guy at the store said I was way too young to be so out of touch. Ha!
Pickathon in 7 sleeps.
This thread needs more activity. It makes everyone feel good when they read it.
I attended the Forecastle show with one of my best friends from out of town who was seeing them for the first time; he said he's been jamming to MMJ since he got back home and now we are looking at more shows to go together in the future!
Converted another one!
good work!
I got tickets to see Colin Hay in November. As a child in the 80's I was always a fan and then when he resurfaced to me on Scrubs many years ago I became a fan again! I got 5th row seats at The Taft in Cincinnati. It's on a Saturday in November and I am really looking forward to it. Also really curious to see how many people will be there...

Can't wait for Red Rocks :kiss:
Soulshine!!!!! Hope all is well! Wish I was going to RR to rock out with you. :drum: good to see you on here again.
omg I've missed you! I wish we could travel back in time and do T5 over again.
Was just thinking the same! Mrs. Peafunk31 & I have a wee one now (will be 3 on the 10th) so we don't get to do as many shows anymore but we still make it out every so often. As she gets older we'll definitely be getting back in the mix. Hopefully we'll catch up at a show in the near future :thumbsup:
CONGRATS!!!! That's so wonderful! Please give the Mrs a big hug for me too. I know we will see each other soon, we will find a way!
Deal! Be well & much love to you!
Love to you my friend!!!! Thanks for the messages :beer:

Just wanted to share our joyous news with all you wonderful folks here who have sent prayers, good vibes, thoughts and everything else positive our way over the years.
My daughter has once again received a clean bill of health, and has put another year of being cancer free in the rear view window. 7 blessed years now and I know I've thanked many of you in person but those I haven't had a chance to, thanks so much for your thoughts and kindness. :beer:

Happy New Year to you and yours, and to all in the Forum community. Thanks for your support during my second heart surgery this Fall. Here's hoping for a healthy 2016!

Terrific news! I'm happy for you and your family. Next year you'll be saying 8 years in the rear view!
Wanting to see larry david on SNL
TEO & crazylove just stopped by my office! :kiss:
God I love you people!!!!! Thank you Jacket Family!
I had one of the best dad days ever a couple of weeks ago and got to walk my wonderful daughter down the aisle. :smiley: Just an amazing, beautiful day and one I'll cherish for the rest of my life. Of course she wanted an accoustic Bruce tune for the walk :thumbsup: and a Sinatra tune for our dance. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cool:
I'm still riding that high and enjoying the heck out of the pics they keep sending me from their honeymoon in Europe. I'm a very lucky, thankful man to have the joys I've been blessed with including a great new son added to my family.

Great to hear, as nothing but good things should happen to a good man. Congrats!
Thanks guys. :beer:
It was a great couple of weeks in St.Augustine and the days leading up to and including the wedding day couldn't have been any better. I'm sure I'll wear you out with the details when we have our next get together. :wink:
Funny thing is I was sure I'd have a hard time keeping it together but I just couldn't stop smiling. :grin:
New lap top: more drunken late night posts.
