New Blogger

So this site now has the new blogger version! You may be asking why it looks exactly the same, the answer is simple, I like it this way. So to use all the really cool and easy features that would have helped me so much a year or so ago when I revamped to the current look I will have to start over with a new blank template. Now to get back to this look shouldn't take very long but I am really lazy, last time it took about a week I think of when I was supposed to actually be working but instead but all my hard work into getting this page looking so magnificent!!! Wow even the spell checker is cooler. But I will probably be messing with it over the weekend to get it changed and try to change it back. Hope everyone has a good weekend and have fun celebrating the New Year!

Year in Review

Well this year is about over with. Lets review shall we. Umm HB and I stayed together all year, I went to more concerts, We moved into a townhouse, I got my babies Homer and Marge, HB got her baby Bonn yesterday and that's about it. Bonn is a polish shepard retired military dog. He is cool, listens pretty well and is well behaved. He follows HB all over though, it is funny now HB has me, her boy and a dog following her around the house. I have no clue what the difference is between a polish and german shepard is, he's pretty fluffy maybe polish are fluffy people and thats why they can't screw in a lightbulb. About the name Bonn, no we didn't name him it. His trainer gave him the name when he enlisted kind of like the names given in Full Metal Jacket, at least he's not private snowball. He's 10 years old or so and has some back and leg problems which is why I really didn't want to get him, the last dog I had dies when I was 14 or so and it was hard watching him go, he had glaucoma and stomach cancer or some shit. He just laid there and moaned all day long and looked like death. But HB kept talking about giving him a couple years of peace and loving family enviroment for his last couple years. He does deserve to retire and enjoy some relaxation time. I like him except when he was whinning last night while I was trying to sleep, we put his cage in our room since they were supposed to come and sand our dining room and we wanted it out of the way but I found out today that they aren't coming til Tuesday, I don't think I can take it til then maybe he'll relax a little more tonight I dunno.

Well it may or may not have kicked in but I switched to the new version of google blogger. Damn google and Ipods are trying to take over the world. I signed up and it said it was switchin I don't know if you will notice a difference or not. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year, I may try to get a pic up of Bonn.

I'm home for the holidays

I am back from Ohio. It was good to see my son. I bought him a couple gifts at the toy store and didn't bother wrapping them I let him pick out a Star Wars game and a remote control bigfoot. He seemed to enjoy them and wrapped up magnetics and some leapster games for the leapster his mom bought him for christmas. I was there almost a week and it was still pretty hecktic running around trying to see my family. My parents bought me some clothes and stuff since I didn't really want anything but they suprised me like they usually try to with one big gift. They bought the first grandfather clock that my great grandpa made at the auction last month. I've been saying how much I wanted one since I saw the one he gave to them. Apparently my grandma I don't really care for and my mom got into it about it. My grandma wanted to buy it for my cousin who doesn't really visit with him or anything and my mom said no I was going to get it, she didn't care if she had to go get a loan to pay for it. My grandma is a bitch! But all is good. They said whenever I get settled into a house they would bring it to me. I am excited, it is really nice too. My great grandpa told me that he added me into his will to be a pallbearer if I was around, I told him that I would come home no matter where I am. It is just hard to see him. I don't think he will make it through the year. He is doing pretty good but he just got released from a home again and back to his apartment the day before I got back. Mom told him that I wanted his war scapbook, I hope he changed that in the will, it was going to go to a museum, he's got pictures of Hitlers palace and some of the people over there, there are a few of the concentration camps that are gross but it is what he saw and it is something I would want to keep with the family and pass it down along with the clocks. I told HB last night that I need to go get a nice suit after the new year. Normally when someone goes that is married for as long as he was they go within a year afterwards but he is strong and keeps fighting but I still think his body is giving out. It is funny listening to him talk though. I heard some more stories this time. He goes to the american legion and such and was telling us how he was getting in an argument with some racist people complaining about mexicans coming across the border. He said they had more of a right to be here than most of us. I thought it was funny because most old timers are racist against everyone. OK I am getting sad again.

It is good to be back home with HB, I missed her too much being gone. I feel bad that I don't have a good gift to give her. I bought her a snoopy but I don't feel thats enough, I've grown up used to the fact that most get a bunch of things and usually one big gift that they really wanted and I haven't found anything that screamed HB to me. Sorry I haven't caught up on everyones blogs, I am actually looking forward to going back to work, though I like being lazy I need something to keep me occupied...lol. I'll probably be complaing about work next week. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

I need outta here!

I hate this area!! Now I've never been a fan of shopping or even going to the store but for this time of year, I don't want to leave the house. I don't like people or crowds and this place turns into hell for Christmas. HB has been getting aggravated because I don't wanna go to the store with her. I just went to Toys R Us to get a couple things for my son since I haven't bought anything, well the crowds were horrendous, parking was non existing, leaving I almost got in an accident because these people can't drive. I hate it! I will be driving back to Ohio on Monday, I will do all my shopping there where the stores won't have 1/4 of the people in the same size place. Fuck these people and the stores here!!!!!!!!!

Little Update

Just a quick update, things are going pretty good. It is nice to work from 7-3 and go home and kind of relax. Work is as boring as ever trying to keep busy for 8 hours. My supervisor, kind of, is trying to find me stuff to keep busy but I am pretty happy just sitting here playing on the computer for most the day and doing little bits of work. I finished our room project and my back isn't quite as sore anymore. I still haven't done any christmas shopping, well I did buy my mom 2 shirts online but thats it. I am kind of broke since I made a mistake spending all my money...lol. I forgot to take 500 out for rent so when that hit I was broke. I get paid Thursday and friday so then I can go shopping. I will be back in Ohio next week, I may have to stay an extra day thanks to the schools being stupid. I remember back when I was in school you got like 3 weeks of for christmas so I planned next week, the week before christmas so I could spend time with my son and then come back here and spend christmas itself with HB. But nope my sons vacation doesn't start until that weekend so I may have to stay Saturday so we can have a small thing where he can open my presents. That kind of bums me out. Not really a whole lot else happening. As you can see below Homer and Marge are doing well and getting big. Marge is eating a lot better and more, she's still not as big as Homer.Umm thats about it. I work and go home, feed them, clean up a bit and sometimes try to take a nap but most times just veg out in front of the tv, eat and sleep. I'm too tired to do anything exciting. But there is peace in boring routine. Hope everyone has a happy and safe holidays.

The Beginning

So here is what I look like after 2 weeks of not being in the military! I am on my way to being a bum, note the peach fuzz making it's way into a fuzz goatee. HB has said I am trying to be a little mountain man, I think it's more like a hill man myself. I'll post more pics as the hair gets longer and I start looking more and more like a bum!


While trying to take a pic I got this of my eyes that look really blue and cool!

HFSmas Nutcracker!

SO this was my first time at Rams Head Live, my directions there were messed up but thankfully with my sharp sense of direction and a few Uturns I got us there a little late. Apparently one of the bands missed a train so they started an hour late, I was hoping the band didn't make it but they did so the show ran later, I'll get to that in a minute. There will be no pics at least unless HFS puts up pics because no cameras were allowed. It was a nice small place, we were in the back where there was a little step to sit on in between sets which was nice and we were still close to the stage, it was great. The first band was 40 Acres. THey were really good. Good old ole school rock, some resembelance to Guns N Roses. The singer interacted well with the crowd throwing out CDs and Tshirts from his santa bag. The guitarist was amazing!! He could definately be the next Slash, he even had hair working on being like his...lol.

Next up was Shiny Toy Guns, the reason the show was late. They fucking sucked ass!! Thankfully they only played like 3 songs and left! The chick was spazing out while trying to sing and play, the keyboard guy looked like the singer from AFI, gay as hell, the other singer/guitar player had the gayest hair, I hope there are pics so you can understand, he had his part shaved on the side of his head with the rest long. The drummer I think was the worst, he had a triangle painted on his eye like he thought he was in Kiss, he kept doing weird ass dancing moves and being over dramatic while playing. It was a trainwreck!!! Supposedly they just played Letterman which aired last night. They sucked ass!!

Next was +44 Which Kicked as much ass as I thought they would. The ladies loved them some Mark, he would come to the edge of the stage to say hi to everyone, making eye contact with everyone in the crowd, throwing pics to people. They played pretty much their whole album, no Blink songs. Here's the amazing part, Travis had a cast on his right wrist, I don't know if it was broken or what but he kicked ass on the drums with one hand! It was great! I could only imagine seeing him play with both. At one point he smoke a cigarrete while playing, I don't think you'd ever see a drummer doing that but all he was doing with that hand was holding it up so why not put a cig in it...lol. It was great, Mark loved talking to the crowd and the crowd loved him! The only problem was the sound was a little messed up with his mic so it sounded a bit distorted, but don't think it was his fault.

Finally 30 Seconds to Mars by this time it was almost midnight and HB and I had to get up early. THey came out the crowd went crazy as the girls drooled over themselves, HB included. We only stayed for a few songs. They were good though but by that time I was tired, hungry and my legs and back was hurting so I wasn't fully enjoying the moment, totally my fault not the bands. They played awesome and Jared didn't preach too much, he got into it a little but nothing over the top so they stay out of that category. It just sucks going to concerts on work night and the parking garage there was horrendously small, I couldn't imagine trying to get out with a shitload of cars. But we made it out safe, I just got a speeding ticket on the way home. They "reduced" the fine, by saying I was doing 67 instead of 76 in a 55. I think they are full of shit, I may have been doing 70 but whatever $80 down the drain again. I wonder how many speeding tickets I've gotten now, at least 10 I think. WHatever. All n all good time, another good show!

Concert Tonight

Yes another concert tonight, 30 Seconds to Mars again. The last show was pretty good, except the fact that Jared Leto was wearing makeup and shit under his eyes and threatening to kick a guy in the crowds ass for flipping him the bird. If he does that shit tonight he will join my list of poser bands with AFI, Aiden, and My Chemical Romance and all the other gay ass ones that I can't think of right now. Fags. Ok and I am upset that I never got to see Blink182 but at least I'll get to see Mark and Travis who are still doing rock music as apposed to Tom with Angels and Airwaves, I don't even know what that music would classify as... I keep hoping that they will do a Blink song or 2 but I really doubt that they will or even can, I guess I'll see huh.

So yesterday my job seemed to have blocked myspace. I don't really know why, I still haven't got to talk to the computer guy. I mean you can look up porn or whatever but no myspace, I find it odd. I have been pretty busy here, I've had a big project where I have to clean out a room. DOesn't sound to hard right, but this room was trashed and I have to make seperate what is radioactive from the not. I moved around 200 lead bricks, that are heavy as hell and big metal tables, and I don't even remember what all else. My back has been sore as hell. Hopefully I will pretty much finish getting the stuff out today and then just test the floor and walls tomorrow. Boring stuff I know. I have been loving coming in early though. I leave around 615 or so, get her by 650, leave around 3 and get home around 330!! Thats about an hour a day driving as opposed to the 3 hours before!! Thats 2 hours of my life that I am not spending with my blood pressure boiling and blood clots going through my brain!! PLus getting 8 hours, and with this project I can't get in the room until 9 so that's like 2 hours of playing on the computer!! It's been nice. Well it's getting close to 9 and still have to check some other blogs. Hopefully I will get these pics up this weekend with a review. Hopefully blogger will let me put up pics!!! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Siverstein concert #4 Updated

Blogger was messing up so here are the pics, I know they are big!!


Ok where shall we begin. I hate doing this a couple days after the show, but am usually to lazy to get to it until now. First up was a band I Killed the Prom Queen, an Australian band. The music sounded pretty good, it rocked and all but the singer sucks ass. I mean I like "Screamo" music but it sounded like he swallowed the mic and was trying to hack or puke it back up. When the guitarist sung parts as back up I told HB he should be singing, he had a pretty good voice that could be understood. SO I'd give them a thumbs down.



Next on the list was He is Legend, Who I saw before and kind of liked. They were even better this time. They were great, the singer was still doing his hippy dancing which was funny as hell. They had a little more screaming this time, which was kind of understandable compared to the first band. I got their newer CD but only got to hear the first 2 songs on the way to work this morning, they sounded good...lol. I definately wouldn't mind seeing them again.



Next 2 we kind of disappointing. It Dies Today, was ok, I wasn't really impressed of course I think I'd only heard one of their songs before. I was just kind of expecting more. And this is where they started oredering people to make the pits bigger and blah blah blah. "Come on DC I wanna see the biggest circle pit EVER!" These "pits" were disgraceful, they were just kids running in a big circle, doing laps. Pits are slaming and spining in a bit of a circle. If Chris had been there with me, we'd shown them, but my job was to keep HB from getting squished. I think this may have been when the kid passed out on HBs foot. I looked over and her and guy next to her bent over quickly, I looked down and there was a kid on the floor, we pulled him up quickly and the bar dude took him to the back. HB thought someone was stepping on her so she started kicking to find out it was a guys head. It was probably heat or dehydration related, he wasn't old enough to drink.




Next up was Aiden, who I just saw on yahoo, it calls a goth punk band, HA they are nothing but posers. I've seen them before and didn't like them then either. The singer wore all his makeup and shit, fake blood on his neck. Again made his compelling speech about how we were all brothers and sisters, we are all the same and whatever horseshit the little kids wanted to hear about them not being outsiders, they belonged with everyone around them, told them to put their arms around each other. Luckily no one touched me or else I'd gotten pissed. They also bitched about Hawthorne Heights getting a bigger "pit" than them last time. That's probably because they are better! But whatever, they suck and it's unfortunate that him and Shane from Silverstein are friends.





Finally Silverstein. As always a great performance. I just love the fact the wear regular tshirt and jeans that they were probably wearing earlier, they don't wear make-up or anything. And on top of all of that, they kick fucking ass!! They did a partial acoustic version of "Call it Karma" which I love and wanted to hear acoustic and towards the end the rest of the band came out and finished it. I was a little disappointed that they didn't play "Already Dead" but all in all was great. I think we got quite a bit of good pics which I will try to add to this tonight or tomorrow. Shane, the singer, was wearing a Rest in Peace, damn it I forgot who, he looked like Ole Dirty Bastard though. I didn't think he died and he turned around and it said the guys name on the back. Whatever I thought it was kind of funny. They made it worth sitting through the other bands and the last song as always was "Bleeds No More" with the Aiden dude, luckily he didn't do or say much, I don't think his mic was working or something. Oh well. And no Encores, so I was a little sad but there was another show after so they had to get everyone out.

Next up is tonight a really late show in Bmore, Boyskout with Uncle Tom, his bro, and Canowine. It will be like Uncle Toms bachelor party again except instead of scary trailer strippers, we will more than likely be the only guys in a sea of butch lesbians. who will probably kick all of our asses. But hopefully it will be a good time. Let you know tomorrow if I survive.

I'm a Civilian!... Well Kinda

First, Happy Thanksgiving. Yesterday was pretty stressful, our place has had a leak from our shower and they have been trying to fix it and have completely ripped out our bathrrom and tore up the ceiling in our dining room. Plus yesterday water started leaking all over and made a huge mess. They were working during Thanksgiving since Latinos don't celebrate it. All While HBs boy wants to talk to them and run around, HB was trying to make food, I just wanted to sleep. It ended up turning out good though. HB made her second delicious Thanksgiving meal, everyone who came seemed to have a good time, HB and I are still undefeated Champions of Taboo, and I finished all the dishes this morning.

Wenesday was my last day of work for the Navy so to celebrate I went and got my Labret pierced again, it's like lower lip for those of you who don't know, I will post a pic sometime. I know I still need to get the Silverstein Pics up but with all that happening around the house I really haven't gotten around to it. My hair is getting long and shaggy. I look like a bum, but as usual I don't give a shit. I actually have to go back to Navy next week to turn in some papers since the guy in charge wasn't there Wednesday, I may have to fing a small band-aid to put over my piercing so I don't get in trouble or anything. I am still technically under contract until January 9. I am sitting at my job now, it's no long my other job...lol. But need to get my hours in so I can pay off my eyes and furniture, after that I am good to go!! Or at least I think and hope! The way I see it I have been having a lot of money left over, my checking is higher than ever right now of course some of that is because I wanted to make sure I had enough but I have been putting a couple hundred on my eyes at a time so that will make a difference but the interest just kicked in so that added quite a bit. The furniture, I don't think we really owe too much more on. As long as I can get them pretty much gone in a month I will be good!! We'll see. Ok enough about my financial plan.

We got a concert Thursday, 30 Seconds to Mars, Jared Leto's band again so HB can drool all over herself, with +44, I wish it was all of Blink182 but just Mark and Travis, I need to get their album so I can start listening to it, maybe tonight I can put the pics up and then get the album. Lets all cross our fingers that I can do that shall we. Ok well I am tired but need to get back to work and find me a pepsi or something. Happy Halodays all!!

Boyskout Concert

I am tired as shit this morning, it has been a while since I did a late night concert on a work night. So Last night Uncle Tom, Canowine, and myself made the drive up to Bmore to a place called The Talking Head, which was like a block from Sonar, we were going to see Boyskout. We knew the were lesbians that rocked. Well we got there and it was pretty uncomfortable. It was a small bar with a stage and upstairs were broken pool tables and video games. Going to the bathroom scared me. You had to go up stairs with no light, walk around the weirdos upstairs and then go down a narrow windy stairs to the bathroom. Looking around everyones sexuality was in question, we were only sure that the 3 of us were straight. Some's gender was in question, trying to figure out if they were guys or girls. It was definately an experience, creepy. Well the first band cam up Pariah Piranha. I dug them, a cool 3 piece, the singer reminded us of old school Hole or maybe Tracy Bonham. She could shred the guitar, they could definately make it big. I wanted to buy one of their shirts at the end but was too tired to mess with it. It had a fish with a talk bubble thing that said "FU 4eva", of course I wanted it for the FU.

Next up was The Degenerettes. They were decent. I feel bad posting it but hey this is my place, we were sitting next to the singer when we came in, she was on of the ones we were trying to figure out her gender. But during their performance she mentioned her being a lesbian so I guess that makes her a lady who looks like a tranny. Again she could tear up the guitar. They had the energy but I just wasn't really blown away. But I guess it was good for a local band.

The there was Baby Asprin. Another local band. They weren't good. They were having a good time which made it at least bearable, but when the singer sang with the guitarist you just kind of wanted to hold your ears. Their voices didn't go together it made me want to howl but feared getting my ass kicked by gays and chicks.

Finally Boyskout. They started out with a bit of technical difficulties with the keyboard but once it was resolved it was on. They rocked!! Everything was great, the vocals, the guitar, the keyboardist/violin player. Christina played the keyboard/vilolin and was backup vocals, She would play the violin while jumping around then drop the bow onto the keyboard and play the keyboard and sing while holding the violin in her shoulder with her head/neck. It looked extremely difficult but then she'd pick up the bow and be right back at it. They put on a great show, everyone was jumping around dancing. I bought their CD and a tanktop for HB. I asked for a medium tank top that was clearly for a woman and the gender bender, I think a chick held it up to me, I had to state that it wasn't for me, she probably didn't believe me. Hopefully Boyskout gets some press and stuff and makes it big, they definately have the talent to. Keep and eye out for them, they're from San Fran.

Unfortunately I didn't remember my camera so no pics. On my way home I got pulled over like maybe 1000 yards from my house for doing 60 in a 35, I think I was only doing 50, but he let me go with a warning. I finally got in bed around 230am, alarm went off at 530am. I got up but then decided to go back to sleep for an hour since my replacement wouldn't be in that early, well it's 930 apparently I could still be sleeping since he still isn't here and I am going to leave soon and he's gonna be fucked. Tomorrow is my last day of coming in!!

I HATE TRAFFIC!

Seriously!! This week has probably been the worst week of traffic I've ever experienced! Monday took for ever to get home, Tuesday was so backed up to my other job I turned around and went home and took a nap, Wednesday was just slower than usual, Yesterday was the worst yet thanks to the monsoon!! Plus the past 2 mornings I have almost got into accidents on the way to work because of people who don't understand or just simply can't drive between the lines. This morning a car was almost half way in my lane, not trying to get over just driving there. I honked my horn and got next to them while they are still in my lane, if my window was down I could have knocked on their window no problem. I look at them the passenger looked at me like I was crazy for honking my horn while they are still in my lane. I just wanted to slam into them and it would have been their fault but I couldn't mess up my car, if I still had the minivan it would have been on! I hate the traffic and can't wait to get out of it!!!

Yesterday was the last day I think I'll wear my uniform. Technically I should wear it until Wednesday but my hair is out of regs so I figured I'd just wear regular clothes. I doubt anyone will say anything. Tomorrow is SILVERSTEIN!! I can't wait, I love them, I hope the play "Already Dead" and maybe a couple acoustic songs. This will be my first time seeing them headline, so I told HB that I am staying for all encores and everything! It is an early show, 4pm and there is another show at 10 so we won't really be there that late or anything. Monday I think Uncle Tom, Canowine and I will be checking out a band Boyskout in B-more at the Talking Head Club. It will be like old times. The show is late as hell though, I will see if I can still hang and go to work the next day but the other 2 are old as hell now. Uncle Tom doesn't have to work but Canowine is the oldest, even though he actually looks the youngest, Damn Asians(*shakes fist*).

SO how many people saw lines outside every electronics store this morning waiting for the playstation 3?? What a bunch of losers, seriously, who can't wait a couple days or even a week, they have to wait in line all night. I drive by Best Buy every morning and there was a nice line of people with lawn chairs and blankets. It was like the retards that waited for weeks to see Star Wars. Actually it was probably he same people. They just wanted to get out of their moms basement so they campout for whatever they can that's nerdy. Hell I just bought and x-box 2 years ago after it was out for 2 years. I may buy the x-box360 or playstation 3 sometime before I die. Oh well, thank gawd it's Friday! Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

The Replacement

So my replacemment has been around here a bit for me to try to train him how to do everything. He seems like an ok guy, he just talks way to much about shit I don't care about while I am trying to teach him stuff. Normally this would piss me the hell off but in this case I just kind of chuckle and think "Oh, well you'll be fucked when I'm gone". Yesterday when I was trying to show him how to upload reports that come in all the time, I grabbed a stack and started to talk and he looked at the world map behind me and proceeded to tell me tales of his day on a ship in europe and shit like I really cared, then he said he had to go to the bathroom and apparently stopped to talk to someone else on his way back, I ate my food and then left since he kept talking to them. I'm not staying later than I usually do to train him. If he wants to learn this stuff he needs to come in when I'm here. I get here around 630 and leave around 11. All my work is done in the morning, I've told him my usual schedule to do things and said he can do it whenever he wants as long as everything gets done everyday. Well he must think he knows how to do it all since he still isn't in this morning. I know he's having problems since he is moving from another department in the hospital and they don't want to let him go, he doesn't want to leave them messed up and needs to train someone there to do his job. Yesterday he said he'd be here in the mornings and there in the afternoon, that's great it will work for everyone, except when he isn't here in the morning when I am. I can only surf the web so much and sit on my thumb not doing anything so I have the stuff to show him how to do it. SO I'll get bored and then do it if he's not here and hopefully he will be here early tomorrow so he can get some hands on instead of just watching me. All the stuff is fairly easy, especially when you do it everyday so he shouldn't need to much training, I just hope he is confident enough.

Other news, I will be going to see Silverstein for the 4th time Saturday, Bought tickets to see 30 Seconds to Mars again with +44(with Mark and Travis from Blink182)and will be buying tickets to see Senses Fail again soon!! I am pretty excited about those shows. Hopefully get some good pics and stuff, SIlverstein and Senses Fail aren't going to be the same without Chris at my side starting mosh pits and fighting our way to the front but he is a puss who won't fly up here to go to concerts with me. It's only a couple hundred dollars to fly from Texas to DC, I don't see what the big deal is really. But I gotta start doing some paper work and stuff for my transistion into being a civilian again. My hair is already getting longer, I will probably get my face pierced again next month and then see what happens from there!!

Blogiversary

Tomorrow will be my 2 year mark from my first post, well my first 3 posts. I started my blogger account to post comments on Canowine's blog, the nothingness was because I didn't plan on blogging I just wanted the account, the RC666 was because I was the "token devil worshipper" of the office and I always wanted to leave evil comments. Well a while later I decided to make that blog, my first post was a poem from Henry Rollins that I found in his book that Uncle Tom let me borrow to read, which was pretty fitting since my wife left a few months earlier. Then I posted about Silverstein since I wanted this to be about my music, like Canowine except good music, MY music. Then a bunch of places to watch funny videos since that was mainly what I did at work. Check out the first couple posts HERE if you like.

Well a lot has changed since those days way back. I've talked about my music and wrote some poems and talked about my life. No one seemed to really care about my music, some people liked my concert reviews but it wasn't long before I decided that this wasn't a place for me to entertain others, this was my place. This was my journal, a place to bitch, rant, and rave about whatever. To post pics and memories that I can look back on for however long it stays there. I have made some friends, most just through the blogosphere but a couple I've met in person. I've had over 29,000 people come through here since I added the counter within the first month or so, this will be my 506th post on this blog.

It is fun from time to time, to look back on the past. I have a journal type thing that I used to write in quite a bit but it's not the same to read back in that. Here I can have pics and links and whatever I wanted to put with it. My journal I wouldn't write non-sense, I would just right when I was depressed. Here I write/wrote whenever about whatever, I know lots of things didn't make it on here but a lot more has. I've thought about quitting several times, especially since I've run out of things to say for the most part, and realized that not many care but then again this is for me. So I post when I get the chance and update the few friends I have on here and still keep tabs on my life. Thank you all who continue to read this and thank you for letting me read yours.

Next week is my last full week of work!!!! Thanksgiving and I am D-O-N-E DONE! I am excited and happy. A little worried but not much, I've adapted and overcome a lot and nothing will hold me down. I will continue to update. Take care everyone!

Next New Thing

Now we know the times are changing and everything is getting more extreme. Instead of tatoos people are getting branded and I've seen it before and I know That Girl posted a pic of the threading on a girls back, well I got this email at work. Check it out, I don't think I could get this done, I've branded myself with a lighter, have tats and plan on getting more, had piercings and plan to get at least one back, but this NEVER.

New fad...
It looks like we as physicians and surgeons will begin seeing patients with "skin carvings" as the next fad beyond tattooing. It's called "scarification". Some are done by tattoo shops, and a lot are home-made with exacto knives, tweezer and rubbing alcohol. It's getting a lot of internet attention at the tattoo websites, so that can only mean the numbers of those attempting this will be on the rise.

This is probably not only illegally performed surgery, but potentially infectious, being done under less than ideal aseptic technique and post "carving" care. You'll note from the included photos of the carving environment and the scalpel blades to perform it, along with a dab of antibiotic ointment on the blue drape.

I have not heard any official DoD policy against "skin carving", but it probably falls under the rule that all elective surgery MUST be approved by the service member's commanding officer. If anyone can inform us of any further policies, that would be good.

See pictures below for graphic illustration of the process involved in scarification.

I'm Back

My trip to Ohio was ok. No tickets, no accidents, and no problems so all was well. It was good to see the boy, he is learning so much in school it's crazy. He counted to 100, can read and everything, it really is quite amazing. He is getting to be a little better behaved, except he lies now. He was pretending he was a zombie and eating my brains, the first couple times wasn't a problem, then he dug his teeth into my head so I told him to stop and that you don't bite. Well he pretended again and this time didn't bite but I felt something so I put my hand on my head and it was wet. He spit on my head and then tried to tell me that he didn't. He said his lips were wet and that his teeth are wet. He might as well pissed on me and tried to tell me it was rain. After a while he finally admitted he spit so he had to go to bed. The next day my mom mentioned that he got in trouble a while back for calling his teacher stupid, I asked him why and he denied it and tried to come up with some elaborate story. I explained that teachers aren't going to say he called them stupid if he didn't. I took him into the bedroom and talked with him, he finally admitted that he did. I explained to him how bad lying was and told him that if he lied to me again I'd beat his ass. I probably haven't spanked him for at least 2 years but he is terrified of me doing it so it's always a good threat, most of the time when I raise my voice he knows to stop and be quiet. Well he told my mom that his baby brother was going to be here after Christmas. And when me and him were talking he was calling her cousin's kid his best friend. I explained that he was his cousin because (I need to give these people names) the guy she's living with is her cousin. He said no, he was her husband because they kiss, hug, and sleep in the same bed. I was trying not to laugh and vomit at the same time, but I just said no, he's mommy cousin. When I went to drop him off the ex was hiding in the bedroom claiming she had a migraine even though I called her when I was on my way and she sounded fine. So I left. Why would she try to hide that she is pregnant from me? It's not like she can hide it forever, and she should know that I am not stupid and am way smarter than her. She is bad at lying; I just laughed my ass off. I need to save up money and when we get settle in a house, see about getting custody. There has to be laws about having your cousins baby and if she claims it's not his and I can't get a DNA done or something then perhaps the fact that she had a kid and doesn't know who the dad is could be grounds to prove she is unfit or something. I don't know. I really hate to be so crawl and I know it would be hard as hell on the kid but I think it would be for the best. Maybe we can just switch the custody so I have him during the school year and she has him during the summer. I'm thinking that the stress of having a baby might make her want to do that but then she would be giving in to me and that would make her not want to. I don't know, I guess we just have to play the waiting game until we find out for sure and then go from there. I am worried about getting mine and Hobbs boys together though, mine is a bully and then trying to deal with one has to do what I say and the other doesn't think so. I wanted to wait until they were a little older and could understand but they may meet sooner. Again all this is speculation, I just have to wait. I am done rambling now; hope everyone had a good weekend.

Happy Halloween

This weekend was pretty fun, we had a Halloween party. I don't think we'll ever get up all the fake spiderwebs! We had fun though, the kids ran wild upstairs, we all talked and had horror movies on. When most people left us remaining played Taboo again, HB and I remain undefeated!! Though she was getting mad at me and calling me stupid... I had a couple drinks, sorry I wasn't on my A game, but we still won against 3 people. I seem to be having a problem adjusting to Gabe being back. I just got too used to the quiet I guess, but I am going to try to keep my mouth shut, which is hard for me. But I need to understand he is readjusting too. But aside from that everything has been pretty boring, not much to post. Work, work, work as usual. I got only a few weeks left of work for the navy, I have been debating about getting my last haircut but I think I'm just gonna let it go. What are they gonna do... fire me?! I am gonna go back home this weekend to see my boy. It'll give HB and Gabe time to chill together without me yelling. We lost power for a couple hours yesterday, that sucked! I was a bit hungover too so then I couldn't just veg in front of the tv, I tried reading but it wasn't that bright out and was putting me to sleep. Umm that's about it. I guess I'll come back when I have something to say. Later.

Atreyu, From First to Last, Everytime I Die, Chiodos!!

As most my concerts do it started waiting in line. The main problem with my type of music is all the poser little kids who are annoying as shit. So the show sold out a couple days before HB and I had to wait in line outside for about half an hour or so with all the little kids talking about stupid shit. It was annoying and HB kept reminding me that I was lucky she loved me, but I reminded her how much Marie Antoinette sucked ass. So we get inside get a drink and chill waiting for Chiodos. I have to warn you there isn't many good pics because the lights kept messing it up, we'd get a good shot and a light would hit the camera, we ended up deleting most of them. You can see all the ones we didn't delete HERE AT SNAPFISH.


Chiodos was great!! Full of energy, sounded just as good as on the album. I wanted to go and meet them afterwards but there were so many kids around I didn't want to lose our spot. At the end he gave a speach about how they were regular guys just like us, who love to play music and are lucky enough to make money doing it. It was cool, I will definately want to see them again. Hopefully they will make a new album soon. Next on the bill was Everytime I die.


I forget where I first heard Everytime I Die but I picked up their album a while back, I really liked it. It's very fast, some funny and crazy lyrics. It is definately moshing music!! I need to type these after I see the show so I still have the energy from seeing the band. It's hard to put it into words days after. But I don't have a problem voicing my opinion about the next band, From First to Last.


I remember I first heard From First to Last on a compilation album. The song was "Note to Self" A nice little ballad of sorts but I dug it. I bought the album which was pretty good. I was constantly debating whether or not the singer was a guy or girl though. It was very hard to tell. By the picture you may or may not be as confused as I was seeing Sonny in person. Sonny is like 5 foot nothing, long hair, big hoop earings, looks like a chick, sounds like a chick, but apparently isn't a chick. This was the band all the little kids came to see, they all screamed at the top of their lungs was at a pitch that ruptured my eardrums. This band has moved into my pile of poser bands with My Chemical Romance, Aiden, and whoever else I can't think of at the moment. They had some crappy distortion on the vocals that really hurt my ears too, in betweeen songs when he'd talk you couldn't understand him. It was gay!! But Atreyu wasn't gay!





I missed Atreyu at warped tour a couple years back, because of My Chemical Romance. But they kicked major ass!! Unfortunately I haven't got their newer album yet and didn't know all the song but they played a couple from The Curse. And it sucked because we left early to avoid the traffic and HB was hurting. We were tired and my legs were hurting from standing for 5 hours and she's got a bad knee so I knew she had to be in a lot more pain than I. They definately rocked the place though and thankfully most of the poser kids left after FFTL, their parents were probably outside waiting to pick them up. But all in all it was a great concert besides the kids and FFTL, but live and learn, now I know not to see them again!! Atreyu is the shit though I am getting the new album this week, Deathgrip on Yesterday!!

Weekend minus the concert

I will post about the concert later tonight. This is just a quick post to kill some time before I go to my eye appointment. The concert was fun. Marie Antoinette was gay as all hell!!!! HB said she liked it but I think she was just saying that because the movie pissed me off so much. There is no point to the movie, there is no story, no plot, no anything. Well there is Kirstin Dunst butt but that's it. What the commercial trailer and imagine it being 2 hours long and thats the movie. She goes to France is married, she lives, and the leave. They have little things that make you think something will happen but nothing. Towards the end people were rioting and I was hoping that she got her head put on a pike or something but nope nothing. I just read that she was beheaded, why wasn't that in the movie!! Ok I'm mad again so I'll stop.

Friday we went to a Haunted trail thing in Olney. It was fun because HB and her friend kept getting scared and screaming but it wasn't worth $20, and then the $7 for a gay corn maze, you just walk around corn. No one to try to scare you nothing just walk and half of it was messed up because people would get irritated and make their own paths. But it was a pretty good time just getting out and hanging out. We were trying to get to one up by Baltimore but when we started heading there the traffic sucked so we knew we wouldn't get there before they closed and we just went and played some pool instead.

HB is heading to Texas today to pick her boy up, she'll be back tomorrow so I gotta take her to and from the airport. SO I will be home alone tonight. I will put up the picks of the concert and maybe type out the post or I may save that for tomorrow and play some Halo, we'll see. Ok time to go, Later.

Glory Hole

I haven't done one in a while mostly because my writing isn't what it used to be... ok it never was much but whatever. Here's my entry for The Scherazade Project. Take a trip with me into my demented mind....


George engaged in many activities that he wasn't too proud of in his long trips, but like many truck drivers he lost his morales after a couple years. He spent quite a bit of money on uppers and lot lizards. A lot lizards is another drivers old lady who works truck stops to earn some extra money doing sexual favors. But George did what he needed to to keep hisself gratified.
George had now been driving truck across country for 25 years. He was very lonely, had no home, just his truck. One lonely night he stopped at a small truck stop in Winchestertonfieldville, Iowa for a bite to eat. There was a small neon sign half lit, "Ruth's Diner". When he pulled in he got an eerie feeling, there were no trucks there, he had never witnessed a truck stop with absolutely no one there. Come to think of it he never heard of the town before on his trips through the area. But he was hungry and needed to strech his legs so he pulled in. He went up to the counter and sat down. The waitress was the usual older bigger woman who kept calling him "hun", her name was Ruth. He asked if she was the owner she smiled and nodded, he smile was missing a couple teeth. He then decided to quietly eat his steak and drink his hot black coffee. After his meal he payed and thanked Ruth and went to the restroom. As he sat on the toilet and strained to get something to come out, he vowed just like everytime to stop snorting, he was tired of the constipation. While he sat tring to block out the pain he noticed a hole in the wall next to his shoulder. Above it read "Glory Hole, for glorious feeling on your dinky, call Kinky, 867-5309". As he sat he pondered it for a while and decided it would help him get some sleep and since there were no other truck drivers around, he pulled out his cell and dialed the number.
"Kinky on your Dinky"
"Uhh, yeah I'm at Ruth's off of..."
"I know where it's at hun, I'll be there in half an hour" she interuptted.
She hung up. She sounded kind of young, George thought. "She didn't say how much" he muttered. He went outside to smoke a couple cigareetes while waiting to see her pull in. He waited 45 minutes, no one came. Just when he was getting in his truck his cell phone rang "Hello"
"you coming in to the hole or what." click.
He walked back into the bathroom and up to the hole. "How much?"
"50 bucks"
He slid the money through the hole, then his penis.
He moaned with pleasure, he never felt anything so good in his life. Just as he was about to cum he felt the worst pain of his life. He screamed, he pulled back and there was nothing left, just blood spurting everywhere. He held himself and grabbed toilet paper and tried to look through the hole to see the culprit. But he saw no one as he laid dizzily on the floor. He never saw anything again.

Almost a year!

First off if anyone noticed on the side there HB and my counter is almost up to 365 days. This Saturday which happens to be Sweetest Day is our one year anniversary! Since she wants to see Marie Antoinette I will take her to see that and since I am bummed that I can't make it to Bmore tomorrow to see Story of the Year again I talked her into going up Saturday to see Atreyu, From first to last, Everytime I die, and Chiodos !!! I am excited! I've tried to see each of these bands at different times but failed to make it. They are just a couple on my list that I need to see! I think it's a fair trade. It will also be our very last childless weekend til next year. She is going next week to pick her son up in Texas. But I have to say it has been a wonderful year!! This is my only relationship to last this long other than my ex-wife, actually I think once we made it a month it would qualify as my second longest relationship but whatever. It is great to be so happy and comfortable with someone. It may sound cliche but she truely is my best friend, her and Chris...lol. But I am truely thankful that she accepts me as I am and though she tanks me for the same reasons she is truely tame compared to my outbursts. We have had some bickering but not really any major fights except for one misunderstanding, me and my big mouth but we have overcome all the little stuff. I guess there was a plan for me, she came at just the right time in my life. Honestly I've said it before and people may not believe me but I would truely be a wreck right now. After Chris left I didn't have any friends left here, he was the last one, I mean I'm friends with his girl but we never really hung out alone or anything so it doesn't count. I would be alone and drunk everyday!! I am glad that she has come and made me want to change my old ways. I still drink but no where close to what I used to. A couple of her friends have thanked me and said that she has became a completely different person since she has been with me and that I have turned her attitude around and I am grateful that I was able to do that for someone. Other than my son I have never felt needed by someone and it truely is a great feeling to feel needed and to need someone else just to get through the day. I'll stop now since I am getting mushy and stuff. I leave you with lyrics to a song by Atreyu. Luckily I grabbed this Love before I missed my chance.

Atreyu - Nevada's Grace

In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade
In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade

And all these words I could have would have should have said
Ring out like gunshots across long lost days
If that wasn't love then what the fuck was I thinking?
I would bear my soul just to bask in your grace
And your beauty, your strength inspires all of my days
I would carry any load just to bear your cross for a day

In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade
In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade

Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break

I'm built for pain I swore to let no one in and there you where a vision a beauty

How could I know that you would take my breath away? And
How could I know one kiss would change everything?

Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break
Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break

A little something

Well Thank gawd it's wednesday already!! This weekend was good, I got to spend some QT(that's quality time for you civilians) with Chris and his woman before they left to move to Texas. They had a little party Saturday night and they came over on Monday, it was fun. I am gonna miss both of them even though his woman DQ would never come hang out with us when he wasn't here. I am happy for them though and hope things get better for them, it's hard as shit being that far away from the person you love. We'll go down and visit them in February and then they'll come up to get married again next summer.

Lets see not too much else going on. Tito beat Shamrock last night again for the third time in UFC and Shamrock announced his retirement. Umm Korea tested a nuke, aand I'm sure other things have happened that don't directly affect me so I don't usually pay attention to. Halloween is coming! We are gonna try to go to some Haunted Houses or something this weekend. I like going to them, they are fun and funny. HB gets scared easy and will probably punch me in the face for scaring her. When I was younger I'd go with some friends all sorts of fucked up on illegal things and have a ball with all the lights and shit and still never got scared. I recently found that there is an abandoned mental hospital that is supposed to be haunted not far from our house so maybe I can convince some others to go in and check it out. I found some ghost hunter sites taking about it. Chestnut Lodge Asylum anyone wanna go with me??

Cricket Story

Now I know my 2 usual readers don't care but I need to vent and let anyone else who may stumble over this blog know some things. As you know HB and I have 2 babie bearded dragons. They eat live feeder crickets, live crickets aren't cheap in pet stores, they range roughly around 10 cents a cricket and they estimate how many they put in because they aren't going to count out 50 crickets. Well I originally ordered crickets through Bigappleherp.com who sucks ass!! No one ever order from Big Apple Herp! I was pretty happy the first couple times I ordered but then they sent me the wrong size crickets before I left for our weekend getaway so I had to go to the pet store and buy more that they could eat now. I sent them an email saying I was upset about them messing up my order and they even changed the history of my order to the wrong size but I had the confirmation email that stated the correct size. I asked what they would do to correct the problem and make me happy, they never responded. Fuck them! I tried to give them a chance to redeem themselves, they blew it. So I found Southern Cricket Wholesale, I ordered from them. They are a lot cheaper and you can actually track the shipment free. DHL sends you an email that I watched it leave their store in Mississippi at 4pm, got to Ohio around 1am, got to Maryland at 6am, and was on the delivery truck at 8am, and at my door by 1pm. I got the box and was amazed by how many crickets there were! Big apple sent a small box that didn't seem to have many crickets in it but I was trusting that there were the 500 I ordered. With Southern crickets, there were tons more, they guaranteed an over count. When I put the "same" 500 crickets from them in, they covered the whole tank!! It looked like thousands, I thought I got charged more or something but nope, $14 for everything as opposed to the $23 I had to pay for what appeared a lot less though Big Apple. So my recomendation to anyone who wants the cheapest crickets and the most crickets for your money so Order from Southern Cricket Wholesale!!

B-day Getaway

This weekend was great!! HB made reservations at Haley Farm, a cozy bed and breakfast up in the mountains. The weather didn't cooperate with us, it rained off and on and was 50 degrees out so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor adventures that we wanted. But we did enjoy the jacuzzi and fireplace in the room. As well as checking out the funny locals at the antique stores. We went and saw Jackass 2, which I laughed so hard I was crying and almost pissed my pants, literally after I ran to the bathroom and barely got my pants undone. It was very relaxing and the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me, and probably the most spent on me as well, which I feel bad for. I don't like people spending a bunch of money on me, I know it's hypocritical because I will do the same but whatever. We both got massages and sat in the sauna. I definately need to find a reasonably priced massage place around here, I don't think I have ever been that relaxed. It was kind of nice to get pampered...lol.

But back to work now and am tired as hell. I don't won't to go to my other job but I as always could use the money so I can get everything paid off before I get out. Chris is gonna be back this weekend, it'll be good to see him again and hang out but he is taking his wife back with him so I am gonna miss both of them at least until next summer when they come back to get married again. But hopefully I will get to go down and see them before that and maybe they can come back up here sometime for something. WHo knows oh well. I need to get some work done so I can leave and go to my other job, I've been leaving here earlier and earlier. I usually try to leave around noon but has been more close to 11. No one seems to care to much and I have been getting good hours at the other job. Ok...I'm out!

Rememberance

So for those of you who still read my blog, which is only 2 people, my birthday is Friday. And for those of you who were around last year may remember that I posted a little poem, if you weren't around here it is....

Happy bday to me
happy bday to me,
I am drunk on Jim Bam,
And eating cambellos chunky

Yeah fucking a!!

Now I was quite drunk and don't even remember posting it but none the less. Now unfortunately the computer here at work won't let me listen to the 3 audioblogs I posted but if you have speakers GO HERE and listen and let me know what they are. I remember almost getting my friends and I killed by some angry gangsters who threw change at me and chased us, luckily we lost them by driving on base. I felt bad for endangering my friends lives, but even worse that their women were with us. I was wasted I told them to grab my bullet proof vest that I had in my van from when I worked security and told them to cover up. I was pretty sure we were going to get shot at, all because I was drunk and rocking out to my music and threw a middle finger out my window, fucking retards. It also didn't help that when they started screaming at me and threw change at me I grabbed my knife and made a motion like I was going to cut their throats. I was drunk! But this year will be different, I won't be lonely and probably not drunk on half a bottle of Beam or depressed. I will be spending a lovely soothing weekend getaway with my love. Hopefully I will keep out of trouble. Hopefully. We'll see. Happy Humpday peoples, that is if anyone still reads.

Saves the Day, Pistolita, and The Spotlight

My late concert review, I was sick. The sickness started kicking my ass on Saturday and is still kicking my ass but that didn't stop me from seeing my concert. This was my first time going to Ottobar, it was a great little place, really close to the Black Cat, it was smaller which I like and even had a little balcony that is right next to the stage, but Black Cat has beer in a glass and pinball. Anyway, thankfully we were really early and got great seats on the balcony so we were right next to the stage and avoided the tragedies that were to come.

First up was The Spotlight, who was from here in Maryland. I liked them, the singer had a familiar voice, it was just good music to listen to. Rock but not really overwhelming, I haven't heard their myspace page yet so I'm not sure how they sound on there but I guess they have an album that's gonna be released coming in 2007, in which I will probably pick it up. Here is a picture of them between songs.


Next one the list was Pistolita, who I really didn't like their look, they were all wearing little girls pants. I mean they were jeans that were tighter than spandex, the piano guy couldn't even pull them up all the way because they were so tight, and the drummer scared me. But when they started playing I was digging the music. It reminded me a bit of Chiodos because of the piano, the guitarists was screaming a bit in the background, it sounded good. I ended up buying the album saying that I'd buy it if I could get it signed but only the drummer and bassists signed it, we didn't wait around for the others though I just shook the singers hand before I got it, he disappeared. Here is Pistolita's hair, you can't really see their faces, I don't think they have faces, that's how rocker's roll:


Then came Saves the Day, they played a mix of old songs and songs from their new album. Now I like them but haven't taken the time to listen to their older stuff so I just wanted to hear the new stuff. But it seemed for everyone there who were bigger fans than I, the loved the mix. The singer, Chris, had pink hair which only a rock star can do and not get his ass kicked for being a fairy. The crowd was insane though, crowd surfing, moshing, jumping on stage and stage diving. HB and I were laughing at the little poser prissy chicks getting kicked in the face, it was filarious. A couple times the microphone was knocked down by people being thrown on stage. We were very glad that we weren't down there. The Chris made good eye contact with everyone throught his performance, I think he was trying to mack on me and/or HB, he kept giving one of us the eye as you can see in one of the pics below. along with the kids moshing and surfing. All in all it was a good time.

BTW... Alzheimer's walk

A friend of mine from The Smudge of Ashen Fluff is doig a walk for Alzheimers and is trying to get donations. I'd like to ask anyone who stumbles over here or any of my usual readers to please go to THIS WEBSITE and donate whatever you can. I put my $20 on John Rinker who has a goal set for $1,500. Please donate what you can. I'm sure everyone has known someone or had a relative with Alzheimers and knows how hard it is to see that loved one in that bad of shape. Thank You!

It's Friday

And it's started out on the wrong foot! I told my work that I was still in class today even though it ended yesterday so I could come to my other job and make up some money for not coming in. Well traffic sucked ass at 730 while I was trying to come in, so I pulled into the HOV lane like I usually do even though it is illegal. Well right before it ended being HOV, like 100 feet, there was a cop on the side of the road so I got out of the lane, but he saw me and stopped the people in HOV to let me over to the shoulder. Bastard, well he took my license and shit before I could say a word and came back with a ticket, I told him I thought it already ended, he said nope not yet. Then asked if I thought it ended why did I get over. I told him because I don't drive next to accident because I got in one because of them trying to merge, which did happen. He gave me an $80 ticket instead of the $500 maximum since he saw the military ID. I am gonna miss that ID card when I get out. So now 4 hours of my pay is going to the fucking ticket, not really making up as many hours as I wanted!! Oh well.

I succeeded in talking HB into going to see Saves the Day tomorrow in Bmore. The only bad part is she has been really sick the last couple days. She is getting a little better, hopefully she will still feel like going. And hopefully I don't catch it, but I will go regardless. But all is well, hope everyone has a good weekend. Hopefully get some pics up after the show.

I'm here...kinda

If anyone has still been checking my blog, which I doubt anyone actually cares, You may have noticed I haven't been blogging or even commenting much. Well I am in my TAPs class(transition assistance program) learning how to become a civilian and stuff. A lot of the information is very helpful. But I am sitting in a class all day with mo computer and I haven't been going to my other job since the time I get out is questionable and I am enjoying my break. I have been checking out the other blogs and trying to read a bit but nothing I say is useful anyway so I'm sure you don't miss my comments or my posts. Just figured I'd type something up while I'm checking my email. Everything has been the same and going pretty good here, I'm hoping to talk HB into going to Baltimore's ottobar this Saturday to see Saves the Day, as you can see on the side I've seen them before, I think it was with Senses Fail but I was kind of drunk and they were an opener, but I am really loving their new album and would like to hear it live, so I'm gonna see if I can convince her tonight. I keep bringing it up but she ignores me... Oh well, we'll see. I may post more tomorrow I might go get some hours at my other job. If not Hope everyone is doing good and for those of you in Baltimore, think about going and seeing Saves the Day!!

Searches and reloads

Hey if any of my readers still read, I know you do HB, If you have a site counter and someone refreshes your page about 20 times, yeah that's me. For some reason my stupid computer here at work sucks. Bloglines will tell me you posted but when I click to go to your blog so I can see any comments and comment myself, there will be nothing. So I refresh a couple times, then I will get a network error so I do it more and then nothing, then eventually the new post will show. I have no idea why but it is all blogs, it's like I'm not allowed to see anything posted in the last 2 days or some shit.

On another note I wanted to share my statcounter results. This is a list of things that brought people to my site, unfortunately it's the most recent there were some really good ones a couple days ago:

It is just funny, last night she told me "Don't look at me, you'll make me tell you" so I am not allowed to look at her or talk to her for 2 weeks...lol.

I'm so tired I can't see straight
Everything around me is blurry and moving
It feels like an acid flashback
Am I the walking dead
I open my mouth but all that come out are moans
It looks like smoke is in my eyes
Is it from my flesh burning in Hell
My body is numb
What is going on
I can't focus on anything
Everything keeps moving by me at an alarming speed
I sit here slouched dead in my chair
No one notices me
Can't they smell my death
Can't they tell by my face
Why doesn't anyone care
Why doesn't anyone help
Why doesn't anyone see
If I can fall on the floor they will see
I try to move
Nothing
If I just lean a little more
I am sliding a bit
Finally
I hit the floor
Still can't move
Face down in a pool of blood
No one sees
I stare into my red life in my face
Much better than watching them
There is peace in lonliness
It is quiet now
I have my silence and darkness
No one sees
No one helps
No one cares
Not even me

Comedy and Fear

I got free tickets from DC101 to go see Lisa Lampanelli, she the "queen of mean". You may have seen her on Comedy Central she been on the Roasts of Pam Anderson and William Shatner. She is funny as hell. Well we go down to DC find are seats, pretty close and in the center. Other people come in and we are surrounded buy queers and dykes. Seriously I was scared out of my mind. Ok maybe not actually scared but disgusted and freaked out. We were fairly close to Dupont Circle I guess. For those of you who don't know that's the gay district. We had a whole gay section next to us and a huge dyke section in front of us. I was kind of laughing because I knew that Lisa would talk so much shit about them. But then the first comic came out and guess what.... Flaming Homosexual. He was fucking with the straight guys up front. He was funny, his name was Wendell or some shit. Then some New York guy who looked like a guy I used to work with, sorta funny. Then Lisa, I was laughing non stop for the hour or two she was on stage. She is a 45 year old white lady from connecticut who kept say things like "That's how I roll, son". She fucked with everyone queers, dykes, blacks, white, latino, asian, arab, skinny ass hoes, and everyone else. She was filarious. She's lost some weight too, she looked huge on tv but now is down to chunky. I kind of felt like a retarded dick, I forgot to hit an ATM so I had 1 dollar in my wallet. SO HB wanted some water when we got there but it didn't look like they took credit and was probably more than a dollar. Then afterwards she was selling a CD but nope, no money, we were in line to get a pic with her though but the line they set up quickly failed so HB took a pic and we left. It was my first actual comedy show and I really enjoyed it, other than the gay boys making out and rubbing each other. I almost puked and then while waiting for the show to start I had to revert back to my bootcamp mentality, 100 yard stare right at the microphone on stage. I couldn't look around anywhere, everyone was making me sick.

Lets see Saturday we went to another party thing that was boring but free beer and some food. Found out our babies like rasberries, they still don't eat their veggies but Marge is starting to eat a little more. Sunday didn't do much as usal. My goal on Sundays is to not get dressed. Thats it. That's my idea of worshiping or repenting or whatever. My church is my boxers all day. Hope everyone else had a good weekend. I need to eat and then go to my other job. I am so fucking tired of 2 jobs. I need to take a vacation from both but I really have to get my eyes paid off before I get out and the furniture we bought. So from now on I need to not buy any big things. All the money I want to spend needs to go to my eyes! But all is pretty good. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Long Weekend

Yeah I know I need to post something to push down the pic of my ass. People were so scared they couldn't even comment. That is awesome. Well the ride to Ohio wasn't too bad, there was a bit of traffic and retards who were pissing me off but we made it there in 8 hours despite the constant drizzle. No tickets, no problems. My son is doing pretty good, apparently he is having a few problems listening in school. His mother tried to blame it on me but I told her that he listens to me and my family, she claimed that is only because he doesn't see us much. Whatever, while I was there he was arguing with her and she got mad and he gave her a hug and said he loved her and got his way, he looked at me and gave me one of those smirks. I told her he just knows how to play her. It is all her and no one elses fault. She didn't want to hear it. I wanted to ask about her being pregnant but I let it go. I figured she can't hide it forever if she is, well she could if she miscarried or something I suppose, but whatever. We visited my great grandpa, HB got the chance to hear some of his WWII stories, he broke out his old scrap book of all mis papers and manuals, from then, including some of the pictures that I told her about when we went to the Haulocaust museum. Like my dad said when we left, it is amazing how he can remember all that stuff from 50 years ago and we have a hard time remembering last week. He loves to tell his stories though. I told him that I wanted his scrapbook, I only wish I could remember all his stories to pass with it. Growing up he never really talked about the war but since I've been in the military he's liked to share it. We saw the whole family, had some fun. My one aunt pissed HB off more, she is a bitch. My grandma was breaking out the old goofy pics of me and my aunt handed her one of me and the ex getting married. That was fucking stupid, hell I don't wanna see that shit either. But whatever, she's a bitch, the whole family knows it and HB does too. We left Sunday so I could get back to take care of my babies and rest a little before coming back to work. Marge is still so skinny, she doesn't seem to be growing much. I am worried about her. Hopefully she starts eating. Well I need to get to work, we have a leaky ceiling and a bunch of crap I need to do. Dumbass actually did what I asked him to on Sunday! I almost shit myself when I came in today!!

Pics

So since I said I'd put pics up I finally decided to stop being such a lazy fuck. Here are a couple pics of our babies. I need to get a pic of them sleeping, last night it was so cute!! Homer is bigger, he was laying down like this ----> and Marge was on top of him like this <----- just laying on him, all night long. But here's them awake, Homer is the one with his head up behing Marge. They are only as long as our finger and they could get up to 2 ft long.







This one was at the party I was trying to cross my eyes but the pic went before so I just look like a retard with half a lazy eye.



And for my HNT that I haven't done in a long time, a picture of my ass in my buds face. Note to all if you have a house party DO NOT pass out on the couch when people are still there. Go up to your bedroom where no one will mess with you or this could happen to you!

New Edition to the Household

So Friday I went a blew a bunch more money on stuff for our aquarium and when HB got home and saw how nice I made the tank look we decided not to wait and to go get the baby bearded dragons. The problem with getting babies is that you can't tell the difference between males and females so we named the fat one Homer and the little skinny one Marge and hopefully we guessed right but after yesterday I don't think we did. Beardies do a couple things to show obedience, a head bob and arm wave. Reading the books the obedient males do it to the bigger males and the females do it to the males. Homer kept waving his arms yesterday. It looks really funny when they do it, it's like little slow arm circles, one arm then the other and he opens his mouth like he's hissing or something. Since Homer is so much bigger and eats like crazy I assumed he would be dominant but maybe we were wrong. They are so cute though and awesome. They are our babies. We've only had them a couple days but I worry about them and hope they are getting enough food and stuff. It is hard because if they eat crickets too big it can paralyze or kill them.

Other news this weekend, we went to a friends party Saturday that was fun. Had some drinks with some old friends and hung out. A guy passed out on the couch and got his picture taken with my ass in his face. Sunday we didn't get dressed or even open the front door, I did go outside the backdoor to get some crickets for our babies. I keep the crickets in a smaller fish tank that was free from HBs friend but take it outside to transfer them over to be sure that if some get away from me they are outside and not in the house. But that was about it for our weekend. Hope everyone else had a good one and I'll try to get some pics of our beardies soon and maybe even put my ass up for a HNT (just kidding!)
