Music, culture & politics. We'll also update Whitee's recording progress.
This week has been a mother...I've been stuck sitting in front of some little kid's bedroom every night...no...I'm not trying to be MJ. Just watching this kid sleep & fart. What a job I have...it's why I went to college. If I told you why I had to do it, I'd have to kill you. Anyway, I haven't been able to get to blog and I do have a lot, but it's my night off and there's beer to be had so a few quick hits.
If you remember and enjoy those
Love is...
comics then
this is messed up. Not for the weak.
Most athletes have really lame nicknames...if your name is Jones you get called Jonesy...Woods = Woodsy. You get the idea. When I play anything, my nickname is Fat Slow Guy. I have to admit...I really do like Robert Horry's nickname...Big Shot Bob. I just like it.
If you're on a softball team...and for some reason your t-shirts have numbers on the back...and you get
69
as your number...you're a douchebag. We get it...69...two-way oral sex. You're fucking funny. Go away.
We just got on a couple of Webrings. Hopefully it'll bring more traffic to the site. You can check out the links at the bottom of the page.
I just finished reading a couple of books,
What's the Matter With Kansas? and
The United States of Europe. Both pretty good. The latter kinda blew my mind. More on it later.
I was at the
studio today. Did some playing & singing. It went well - Robert wants to get to recording...so I need to catch up on a few bills, pay the f-ing taxes I still owe as I'm waiting for those trickle-down tax breaks to get to me. Flapjacking went especially well so that may be the first. The vocals were OK, but I need to get my ass back in the gym...the cardio helps. We'll put down guitar and
scratch vocals
to give to the session musicians. They'll do their thing then I'll go back and put real guitar & vocals in. I've never played with other people so I'm not going to spend what little cash I have in learning in the studio. It's coming...really, really slowly, but it is coming.
Also, being stuck staring at sleeping boys all night...I did try to do some writing. Nothing great, but a little potential. We shall see.
If I were from Canada and idolized Ryan Seacrest, I would say:
Whitee oat.
