Look Carefuly

I found this here.

Uh

You know how I said today was flying...well I lied.

I am 52% Punk Rock

The intelligent punk. Tuff and Smart. I may be able to maintain a train of thought long enough... What the fuck was I talking about?

Wow! What a weekend.

Looking back at it, I had a really good weekend (except for the panic stricken Friday afternoon).

You see, I went to start my car and nothing happened. I put in the key, turned, and nothingÖPANIC.
So, I called Tripp who was gracious enough to come over and give me jump.

Friday night consisted of traveling to Streamwood for Soaked rehearsal. I think it was probably one of the best rehearsals we have had. I think it is because we wanted to be there. Usually, and I am guilty from time to time, we have people there because that is where they are supposed to be on Friday night. But this week it seemed like everyone wanted to work. At least that is what I felt. After the ride home, Leo dropped off at my car and, yep, it needed a jump.

Saturday
I decided to begin the joyful task of moving. With fear that my car wouldnít start I began loading boxes (please, donít ever pack Ω of your book collection into 1 boxÖtrust me). My car started. I began to go down Irving Park and discovered that there was a Cubs game, so I turn up an alley and make my way to LSD, nice driveÖthat is until I hit my destination exit of Fullerton, and then I rememberÖAIR SHOW! Damn it. 20 minutes later I finally cross Clark and am on my way to Kedzie.

The rest of the day was pretty chill.

Later that night I saw 3 good shows and 1 amazing show at the Double Door.

Sunday
Up EARLY. 8 am early. Sang in Choir for the first time in ages, and then sang with the band for about a 45 minute set. Then spent the rest of the day vegging in front of the idiot box watching The Mask of Zorro.

That is all I have. I am pretty content today, and time seems to be flyingÖwoo hoo!

Peace

Lazy Bloggin

I know I haven't posted in a few days, but I just haven't had anything to say. So, I figure I would let Mary Prankster once again do my post for to day...like to hear it here it goes:

GREEN EGGS AND HAMLET

Hey now Ophelia
Are you looking for a swim?
Yeah, your manís done you wrong
So, whatcha gonna do to him?

Any Daneíll tell you, girlie
You take a chance with one-night stands
Got a pocket full of posies
And a lily in your hands

Hey now, Ophelia
Gonna be or not to be?
Swirling in the icy water
Get thee to a nunnery

Such a shame that our affairs from England came too late
That Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead
Thereís something rotten in this state

Into the depths we go
Watch out for the undertow
The tide is high today
Watch you donít get swept away

Peace

Check these out

Go to Tripp's and Clifton's pages and read what they have to say about protestantism.

I will be posting my thoughts soon.

Peace

Good News

Beer is good for you!!!! I coulda told ya that.

Today?

Well, I finally got the MRI of my ankle read, and it is just a severe sprain. No surgery required. Yippee!

Not a whole lot is going on right now...just suffering from the post-lunch lethargy. So tired. ug.

I did go to see Trish in The Taming of The Shrew up in Elgin this weekend. It was a pretty good show. I had fun, and the bugs weren't to bad (it is an outdoor theatre). Speaking of bugs, my boss told me that they were so bad at Grant Park this weekend that the Grant Park Symphony cut a few pieces out of their second act. Can you imagine taking a breath to blow in a tuba and inhaling a moth...yummy.

Tonight I may venture to Grant Park to see Vertigo.

Other than that...not much is up.

Peace

An Update

A while ago I posted that Bret Hart had a stroke. Here an update if you are ineterresed.

Thought of the Day

Punk Rock Heaven

Baby, youíre a poseur
Honey, I should know
You ask me where the shows are
But then you never go

Poseur purgatory
Awaits you at the end
But thatís not my story
Iíll tell you why, my friend

Got my Martens on with steely toes
Spike my hair and pierce my nose
Iím goiní up to Punk Rock Heaven

Hippie Hell awaits you, Jack
Unless you take that tie-dye off your back
And jump the track to Punk Rock Heaven

The smack up there is pearly white
Thereís always time to pick a fight
The leather pants are nice and tight
The Pistols play there every night

Got my guitar and my drum
Hey Johnny Thunders ó here I come!
Cominí up to Punk Rock Heaven

If I was you I tell you, son
Iíd pierce my nipples with a staple gun
And make a run for Punk Rock Heaven

The smack up there is white as snow
Pack my bags, man ó here I go!
Maybe in an hour or so
Iíll catch a G.G. Allin show

Hey every junky, punk and freak
If Manic Panic makes you weak
Then follow me and catch that train
Pleased to meet you, Kurt Cobain

I need a mohawked, tattooed, flannel-clad
Combat-booted lovely lad (las...jt)
To take me up to Punk Rock Heaven

---Mary Prankster

I Miss Mick

Just found this article, it is almost like a catch up on Mick Foley. I donít have many people that I look up to, but Mick is one of them. If you choose to read the article you should see why, especially when you get to pages 2 and 3. Not only did Mick perform with all his heart, but he has one of the biggest hearts of any famous person I can think of. It the article he talks about just returning from China. He was there with Operation Smile. And as a result of the trip he is planning on writing another childrenís book. His first one, Christmas Chaos, had a portion of the proceeds going to the Shriners Hospitals.

This is a man who never thinks of himself first, as a performer and a human being.

Peace,

P.S. If you havenít yet checked out his autobiographies. Even if you arenít a wrestling fan they are both great reads.

Help....me...eyes...

fading. blur. numbers. mind numb.

I don't know how I got the task of approving bills at the office. Yeah, I make the desicions on what to buy, but come on I can'e even pay mine on time. Though that isn't a problem here...if I misplace one I will eventually get a call from my vendor. Actually, I hate to do that because most of the places I deal with are Mom & Pop types of places. I really like that. I like being able to talk to the owner of the company and just chat. Also, they give us the best work...they need us as much as we need them.

What's new?

Mom's birthday was yesterday.

Looking forward to making a trip to Elgin in the near future to see Trish in Taming of the Shrew.


beYond thAt, our theatre company, became a not-for-profit corporation on July 19, 2002. Got the paper work yesterday.

Other than that...not much

Ok. Fín rant time.

(just a quick note. I began writing this on impulse at 9 this morning and finished after lunch...my blod pressure has dropped considerably since then)

Sorry, but I just read that one of the victims of the unfortunate accident on the south side, in which 3 women were hit by a van that lost control and the drive and passenger were then beaten to death (unfortunately one of the 3 women died yesterday), has filed suit against the estate of one of the men beaten to death and the van rental company.

I can understand the suit against the van rental company, especially if it is determined that there was a mechanical failure. But give me a damn breakÖincluding a dead manís estate in the suit. What is the point? This man was publicly beaten to death and now on top of his familyís grief there is the possibility of being suedÖthis just makes no sense to me. I know I donít know all the facts surrounding this, but from the outside looking in I think stuff like this is what is wrong with our society as a whole. We always seem to need someone to blameÖeven if it is nobodyís fault. We always seem to have the need for revengeÖeven if there is no need for it. Come on! How about we work to try to figure out what happened in this accidentÖhow about we work together to forgive each other for the accidents that we cause or have been victims of. ARGGHHH it is so damn frustrating.

I have calmed down considerably since I started this blogÖthat is what happens when updating at work and can type in-between projects.

I am in a much better mood now.

Peace

Is My Blog Hot or Not...huh?

click the link...please!?

ho hum

You are a very simple and leisurely person. You are quite contented with your life and have no ambition to improve it. Which Blogging Tool Are You?

I'm Back

After a week of shear unaduterated bliss, I have returned. Yes, my previous post was a bit whiny, but the week got better. This was the first time in ages...and I mean it...that I did absolutely nothing.

It is such a wonderful thing to nothing, have no worries, no problems. AhhÖIt all ended so abruptly this morning at 7:30 with the strange buzzing sound coming from the other end of my roomÖoh yes, the dreaded alarm. But alas, all good things must come to an end.

One of the best parts of the vacation, was getting reacquainted to a friend I thoughtÖwell, we went separate ways for a bit. Not intentionally, but it just sort of happened. She was going through a rough patch and there was some miscommunication and we just have not talked for a a few monthsÖwho feels like an assÖyou got itÖME. But all is mended and forgiven. I love it when things like that happen. I feel like I shouldnít of left her when she was having her problems, but she said it was ok. I donít knowÖI still feel stupid.

Anyway. We are cool once again.

I guess that is all I have todayÖgood to be back.

Peace

New graphic on the side bar...yippee. Thanks Mary Prankster
