Boy, talk about senseless rambling, my last post was borderline interesting. I don't know what got into me..That same guy had me on speaker phone again the other day and I tried to use the josh technique, which is cupping your hand around the receiver and using the " distort-o " effect..but felt it was too obvious considering I have to see this guy every other day so I used the chopped up vocals and the " What? You want me to what? " see y lay er uesday nds ood technique..

Well, I tried. I was kicking it. Just played "delayed" for 71 points. And then the computer crashed. Sigh. Perhaps there were too many people in the room. From now on, we'll roll by appointment! Good game, everyone.

One other thing..I just got off the phone with someone from the brewers at Miller Park and would you believe they've got my keys? Ya hear me? They've got my keys..My KEYS..they have them..thats right..!!



dan:

I'm all hacked off at the fact that I've misplaced my keys...How do you loose a set of keys that has a 18 pound steel carabiner on it? HOW? I find comfort in listening to Mr. Kozelek. The sounds make you think of other things, other things that you don't have to think about much..I think I'm getting a pot belly. I was in the shower this morning..ie., rain room and I don't know if It was the relaxed state I was in or if there really is a pot belly forming..It's funny because I'm quite slim and the only thing that would be sticking out would be my PB..I'm gonna start biking again. When? everyday after work I will bike to the lake and back. Thats not that far. I still cannot believe I lost my keys..I'm gonna call the brewers. I got home fine yesterday and pulled the motor scooter out, even took it for a spin left for the brewers game around 615 and don't remember having my keys, I did lock the door though..what in gods name happened to them? I hate keys If you don't have them you're helpless everybody depends on those little metal keys to get them places..Lets ride horses and keep guns in the house. Sometimes I just want to live in the woods away from everything except trees and mud and bark-n-shit..other times I want to watch my plasma tv..Just kidding. Are we ever gonna get above 50 degrees? Not that it matters because i can't do shit about it except tell myself that just because it's cold doesn't mean I have to let it affect me. I get wierd when I'm tired..And another thing don't buy a huge truck If you don't use it! Lets go get a fargin huge truck and drive around like we're cool shits If I had a truck I would go chop wood and haul shit and dent it and get the allignment all out of wack. I know some of these PEopLE don't use their trucks and by use I mean If you have a pick up..well wait a second I guess if you have a darango or something and you have kids you can put them all up in there and haul them all over but didn't people use station wagons and shit before suv's? I didn't get a turkey or should I say I didn't blast one this time around I did see about 12 turkeys though not including the ones in the blinds but 12 I did see young jedi..six pheasants, four deer some ducks and the insides of my eyelids. One of these days..one of these days...I put some bricks in my backyard the other day. OH this is fun I started my weed wacker yesterday and yep, you guessed it wacked some weeds..You know what would be great? If someone breaks into your house or messes with your loved one or tries to steal your guitar to first of all catch that someone and tie them up tape their head to a chair or something so they can't move their head and get the weed wacker out and weed wack their frickin' face..You could probably wack their ears right off..wouldn't that hurt..I don't mean to go out and do this to any ole' body they have to deserve getting weed wacked..I guess thats kinda harsh but don't fuck with me. just kidding. I also have been enjoying Willi Nelson's 'milk cow blues'. on island records..go get it and quit being such a little freak without warning! Sail on. And another thing, I really don't like being controled by the phone..one time or should I say many times I would try to go, lets say to the bathroom and you get all the way back to the terlet and the phone rings so you gotta walk back to the phone and pick it up and answer it the way you always do.." Who diss? " I wouldn't mind diggin a tunnel from my house to the back yard. Trap door covered with sod and guard dogs around in case anyone trys to get in..One time when I was in my alley screwin with my hub cap this guy walks up and trys to give me a hand by saying ' you gotta do this and rotate that' which I had not been in the mood to hear. I say when I get done with this shit I'm gonna go inside and have a glass of wine and chill..so I mess around a bit and get ready to go inside and this guy say ' did you say you were gonna go inside and have some wine?' I said yeah..he proceeded to request I get him some wine and before he could get it all out I said, " What? We were just out here shootin the shit and you want me to go inside my house and get you some wine?" He's lookin at me all puzzled.." You have a job right?" yeah you get a pay check? yeah " Well, you need to budget your money so you can buy your own wine" He looked at me kinda crazy but I'm sick and tired of ignoring people who beg for money and try to get a free wine bottle or something. I've made an effort to ask the guy thats asking me for fifty cents before he gets his full sentence out..I must go now..I'm starting to bore myself..I'm not really that agressive when it comes to what I've just said, It's kinda like just don't push it kinda thing..I suppose I should go do some work now..yippie..That'l make time fly.. save your dimes and nickles for a rainy day cause when the rain stops fallin' at least you've paid your way...



Robert:

It's all work work work nowadays. But here's what I do know: We have a new permanent guitar player. We have a 6 week tour with 3 other bands starting on July 7. We're shooting a video. We have a bunch of new songs in the works. And just yesterday, I purchased an amazing James Brown double CD. Get on up.

I'll update the news later this week with some specifics...

But in the meantime, save internet radio.

I have a new little obsession, and it is called games.com. Specifically Scrabble and Boggle. Just something to pass those idle moments. Anybody care to play? Just let me know.
