But I pretend to be one on Friday nights.

I messed up a few riffs. 16 years ago, I could play this flawlessly.

I need a vacation. I’m starting to feel a little burned out.

Went to the driving range today at lunch. It was so nice out. I didn’t want to go back to work, but having to leave early helped with incentive. I could tell I hadn’t swung a club in nearly 9 years, and I can sure feel it in my back.

I think MacBros was trying to goad me into another performance last week. I think I just might. Of course, sure as I commit, I won’t be able to play worth a flip. LOL I’ve considered doing it as a weekly feature, but at some point I would have to expand my repertoire to include something other than Fleetwood Mac songs.

I got 2 birthdays out of the way this week. My baby Chad is no longer in single digits. Still got Jamie yet to go this month. We’re going to go get her a new bike for an early birthday present tomorrow morning. After last week’s incident of her crashing and burning, which I know was caused by her knees hitting the handlebars, she needs a bigger bike.

Hope y’all have a great weekend!

Powerful winds, tornadoes possible tonight

And for an added bonus, storms likely tomorrow which means there goes another Friday lunch outing at the driving range cancelled. Granted, my clubs will remain in the trunk just in case…

It was graduation night at Ninja School and the kids got their yellow belts.

Actually, I am having a much better week than last week and I am much busier. Not in such a mood though. Funny thing this morning. I sent an email to a guy that was a follow up to a teleconference. I cc’ed my co-workers, and one commented on how nice and courteous I wrote the email. I said “It comes in spurts.” (Go ahead and break that quote down, as we had quite the laugh over it.) A couple of emails later the guy sent one just to me. Now, his name was really familiar to me, and turns out mine was to him. We were stationed together overseas AND his wife was Jamie’s kindergarten teacher. Small world.

I got home, heated up a leftover steak and grabbed a bottle of wine. No, it wasn’t full. There was about a glass full left, and I didn’t want to get a glass dirty so I drunk it from the bottle. (Yes, I know that’s redneck/hick.Whatever.) Took off my work pants and threw on pajama shorts, and then it hit me. Today is the NC primary. Well, sorry but my butt was 1) not putting my clothes back on and 2) not driving to the polling place and sure as heck not walking 2 miles one-way at 77F after chugging a big glass of wine. Oh well. It was going to pain me to cast a vote for a Clinton, and I’m not voting for a Dem come November anyway. Yeah, McCain, you’re included in the Dem remark. I have 3 choices: Libertarian, Constitution, or write in.

TGIF!!!!!!!!

That video was an afterthought. I was shocked to run across a Bangles video from their 1982 EP (which I own on vinyl–unopened). I have it on cassette too. Yeah, I like the Bangles. What of it?

This was the one I intended to post. It’s Spock. How could I resist? LOL

I think I am coming out of my week-long bad mood. I’ve been blaming it on hormones, which I am sure is the root of the problem, but I’ve been addressing some “issues” that I should have dealt with YEARS ago. They weren’t related to yesterday’s rant, but that was a convenient channel.

I need a hair makeover. I was looking in the mirror yesterday and realized my hair looks much like it did when I was little, except for the layers. But the hanging, lifeless bangs? I gotta do something about that. I didn’t like them when I was 12, and I haven’t grown a fondness for them over the years. Yes, I miss the big hair 80’s. Heh, like I want to pay for a perm now.

Another Friday night of rock star fantasy awaits me. I would like to find a nice keyboard (piano, not computer), but I don’t want to pay a nice price. I don’t even want to pay pawn shop price. Guess that means eBay. On the other hand, I’ve only ever been able to really play 1 song on piano. I sucked at piano for the same reason I sucked at drums and sports. Poor coordination.

Hope y’all have a great weekend!

This started off to be something totally different, but my anger and disgust spilled out.

Because you know I can only post so many lolcats, and I am in a mood.

I can’t decide who is worse. The Clintons or the Obamas. Either way, I don’t want McCain either. Wouldn’t it be great if the people in this country would quit voting for political parties? I remember how my dad used to go on and on about the corruption of the “Machine Democrats,” though he didn’t really have much better to say about Republicans either. I see why. They are just as bad. That’s why our elected officials work, not for their constituents best interest, but for their re-election to boost their self-importance which is only boosted more by the self-appointed 4th branch media. Political parties are good ideas in theory, but they are just like unions in that they outlive their usefulness to those they claim to represent by getting drunk on their own power. So, yeah, it’s not the Democrats or Republicans dragging this country to the sewer, it is everyone who continues to support them while they get farther and farther away from supporting the country as a whole.

And while I’m on the subject of self-importance, I’m not going to mention the name the newest turd in the toilet of false teachers claiming to be men of God. But I want to say this. I am increasingly disgusted with the title of “Reverend.” What the heck makes one person more revered than another. I refuse to refer to any preacher by with that title any more. I am pretty sure there isn’t anything in the Bible to support one man (or woman) being more revered than any other. There is only one Church, and Jesus Christ is its head which makes him the sole recipient of the title of Reverend.

One final thing, for now. I am just amazed at the utter stupidity of some people who think Americans are worse than the Muslims we are in a fight for our very lives with. Oh, yes. Our very lives are at stake against Islam. There is absolutely nothing about Islam that is peaceful and only a complete moron would consistly ignore all the calls of jihad that have been cried from Muslims for years. I’m not talking about just since January 2001 either. Bin Ladin called for Jihad the whole time Clinton was President. Jihad has been in effect since Mohammed invented Islam. You can piss and moan about Abu Ghraib and Gitmo until the cows come home, but WE AREN’T THE SIDE THAT IS BEHEADING AND DISMEMBERING PEOPLE FOR NOT BEING MUSLIM. Think on that. Respect other cultures? Only if they respect ours. Respect is a two-way street or else it is oppression. I will not submit. Ever.
