Make like Doc Brown, and run outta time..

So I can't seem to shake this cough.  That's the biggest thing I hate about getting sick. Yeah, you figure it would be the cold sweats, or the sniffles, or maybe the burning eyes.  No.. it's that fucking cough. I can bare the rest, but that cough kills me.  Constantly phlemming all over the place.

Fuck that shit.  All the pills in the world, and I still have a cough. And it's a bad cough.. like I'm Doc Holiday and I have Tuberculoses.  (great reference.. I applaud myself for that one.)

Hopefully it goes away, or calms down with in the next few days. Since I have a show on Friday. And as of right now.. totally couldn't sing.

New tattoo

I'm still a bit sick, but I'm feeling a little better. I bought some pills for the cold yesterday. They've been helping.  I got a part of my tax returns back the other day.. and yesterday I went out and got another tattoo.  It hurt like a bitch on my elbow.

Sicker then a dog.

What does that even mean?  I've seen some sick dogs.. but all they do is like chill out and get better. No different then a sick human.  

I've been sick for the past week or so, but it reached it's peak yesterday.  And it's still going..

And I just looked outside and it's fucking snowing. Great.  That's the frosting on my sick cake.

And to top all that .. my apartment complex power is shutting off from 9-3:30pm today to change some lines or some shit.  Luckily I'll be at work from 12-6:30 to not be around for most of that.  But for the 3 hours I'll be here, that's gonna get boring.

Fuck that shit.

shamrock shakes A plenty

I've been in Saginaw since Thursday.. hanging out with Gina and her family and friends.  Good times. Last night we ran into Fred and Damien then they came with us to the bar.. had a bunch of drinks.. then they left.  We continued to drink.. for many hours. 

Had to wake up early this morning to drive an hour and a half to visit Gina's bro.  Hung out with him til about 2:30.. then headed back here.  Which is where I am right now, sitting on the couch typing to the 4 of you that read this while Gina sits on the end of the couch watch Sex and the City reruns.

I've had 2 shamrock shakes on this weekend in Saginaw. oh yeah!

I think I'm gonna go get some fast food.  

Half, Half, WHOLE, Swivel  

Working With Rats & Thieves

I released my new solo CD. And I'm selling it for 5.99.. so that's 16 songs for 6 bucks.  GET IT NOW! Tell your friends.

The remainder of the week..

I'll be in Saginaw from Thursday til like Sunday morning (early morning).  We're gonna go visit Gina's neck of the woods.. and her family and friends.  And while I'm out there, I'm gonna hang with Chris E.. since I don't see him enough.

I don't know if I'll be on the computer much during this time.. but I'll probably post phone blogs which will automatically post here, facebook, livejournal, and twitter.  So you can here what I'm doing.. instead of reading it.

Hope you all have a good easter.. if you celebrate it.  I hope Jesus Bunny gives you everything you ever wanted.. in candy form.

St. Paddy's Day

I'm part Irish, and part Scottish.  So needless to say, this holiday is kinda a big deal to my family and heritage. 

And to celebrate the holiday.. I drink. A lot.  A whole lot.  More than normal.  From when I wake up, til when I go to sleep/pass out.

I'm also playing a show w/ the Beat-Ups (I play bass).. so that will be interesting.  But I have years of training playing drunk.

I remember when I was a kid in school if you didn't wear green on St. Paddy's day you would get pinched/punched.  Do people still do that shit?

Tonight's Your Night (a birthday song)

It started off with me writing a song for my friends Birthday.. which it still is. But I liked it a lot, I'm gonna put it on my new CD. haha

Larry Is Dead

So, for some crazy reason I was on YouTube today and came across this movie-short that Tim Armstrong (of Rancid/Transplants) made.. god knows how long.  It looks old as hell.

I had a dream...

I had a dream last night, it involved cocaine.. and lots of other forms of drugs. I don't remember why I was dreaming about all that. When I stay up super late I tend to dream about odd things... like cocaine apparently.



Then in my dream I thought about something that actually happened to me, which (in my dream), I said I would blog about.. but now, as I sit here at the computer... I can't think of what the hell I was gonna write about.



Stupid cocaine dreams.

Zeke The Plumber (new song I did)

Zeke The Plumber.. a slightly doo-wop/acoustic/punk thing I recorded based on the character from the 90's TV show "Salute Your Shorts"

Crack Rock Steady

So the Governor of New York was busted for banging prostitutes.  I really have nothing to say about that.. I'm sure he's not the only politician that has done that. Or has done something equally as stupid.

I mean, remember Marion Berry? He was mayor of Washington D.C. .. got busted for smoking CRACK.  Apologized.. then got re-elected as Mayor.  Go D.C.

John-O (of Nuke and the Living Dead) and I used to check out this website with stories of Haunted areas all over the USA.. you can just click on a state, and find a town, and there would be a story.  Washington D.C. had a bunch of them, and we would just assume they weren't ghost stories.. just cracked out Marion Berry running around the city going.. "BOOO !"

Let me get up in them guts.

Because of the Daylight Savings of last night. I believe I gained that hour back and slept in til about noon today. I rarely do that.

My work schedule this week is hectic because of someone getting let go at my work, so now all of us have to fill in where she was supposed to work.  So I'm basically working every day this week.. like 44 hours.. go over time!

Nicole, you're probably gonna start next Tuesday because of training at the Division store. 

Nootch.

Daylight Savings Time

I cherish my sleep.  And when we have to "spring forward" I lose an hour.  I don't like that.  Sure it's fine and dandy that we get more light in the evening, especially for the summer time.  But for that one day, I lose an hour of sleep..  and I don't get it back until we "fall backwards".

Indiana doesn't have Daylight Savings Time.. they stay the same.  They just fluctuate between the Central and Eastern time zones.  During WWII when the US was like "let's do this daylight savings time crap, so we can save energy.."  Indiana just looked at them all quizzical like and said, "No, USA.. I will not submit."

So the moral of this blog, If anything..  Indiana doesn't like to submit.  They're not into the kinky shit.

I saw NOFX last night, and you didn't.

Last night a fairly large group of us ventured to Royal Oak, Michigan to see one of the greatest punk rock bands of all time.  And let me just tell you, it was one hell of a show.

The openers the Flatliners were fairly good. But I was really unfamiliar with their music. No Use For a Name was on after them, I'm fairly familiar with their music.. I know a hand full of their songs.. enough for me to enjoy their set. They played for about a half hour.

9pm comes along and NOFX comes out and proceeds to talk for about 4 minutes.. making fun of the crowd, riling them up a bit.  Then they just break into their set.  3 or 4 songs in they go and do the unthinkable and play the god damned DECLINE.  All of it... all 16 minutes of it.  After that I was so sweaty and wiped I needed a breather and another beer.

Bubs lost his shoe, then later saw his shoe get thrown onto stage.  "So long and thanks for all the shoes."

Tofer managed to get on stage and stage dive back into the crowd with out getting caught and kicked out.  Although Tofer's buddy Daniel got kicked out for punching some dude in the bathroom for calling him a fag.

We saw Steve Livermore there.. he was drunk before the show even started. 

They played pretty much everything I wanted them to play.  Some old, some new, a couple I've never even heard.. but it was great.

I thwarted a crime last night.. I think.

So, I'm at work right?  Monday nights are when everything changes at my store. All the new signs go up, all the new candy specials go out because all the new plans start Tuesdays (because of New Releases).  

I'm out in the front of the store putting up a "BUY IT NOW FOR 12.99 Previously Viewed" sign for American Gangster.. and this man runs up to the Rite Aid next door and starts yelling at these black guys in a white bronco type SUV car. And then he looks at me and tells me to call the cops.  Then I look up like "wha?" Then he goes..  get the plate numbers.   

So I do..  and then black guys drive off while the white dude runs in the store to call the cops.

Like 30 minutes later.. a cop shows up at my store to tell me whats up.  Apparently the black guys had masks on, and the white guy thought they were gonna either rob him, or the store, or something.

No clue.. I really had no idea what happened.. just a bunch of people yelling at each other while I was trying to put signs up.  Fucking with my concentration.

I think I foiled a crime?  Maybe.  Kinda like Underdog..  he always kinda sorta foiled shit all the time.

The End.

Dragon Ass.

I feel under slept today. I'm totally dragging ass.  And if you've ever actually seen someone drag-ass. It's not a pretty site.

I've been working non-stop for the past few days, and I have to work tonight and tomorrow.. then do the radio show tomorrow night.  I'm beat.  

At least after that I get 3 days off, but on those days I'm going to a NOFX show and then Gina's fashion show.. so I get Wednesday completely off.  I plan on doing NOTHING.

Ugh. Hungover.

Drank a lot of shitty beer last night.  Now I have beer farts that could kill a small creature.  

When I was in the band "Nuke & the Living Dead" .. I was told a good remedy for a hangover was drinking chocolate milk.  So the first thing I did when I woke up was drink a large glass of chocolate milk, and oddly enough.. I feel like 20% better.  Now I just need some sort of foodage in my tum tum.

Mission: If I choose to except:  Find some food. GO!
