what's up?

heh. been a long time comin' getting back here. been watching the world slowly disintegrate along the gulf coast and elsewhere. maybe that john hagee dude is right ... we're all gonna die soon. don't think i'm gonna get to be one of those privileged few who disappear during the rapture. anyway, between sickness, car troubles, work troubles and other assorted maladies i haven't had much of a mind to do anything here, lol. did post up a bunch of pictures though which seems to be everyone's favorites ... go figure.

finally got to get back into some shows down at the old stomping grounds ... almost three weeks straight, lol. even took a couple of turns in the mosh pit at the adolescents show ... although sadly i had to leave my glasses with willy the barkeep while i did it. even managed to fall on my back again and stumble back out ... fuck i need to do that before i get tipsy next time, lol. sadly there aren't any more tickets in my wallet until throw rag and later in the year for horton heat. boo hoo. the fuckers there at the hob have also decided to stock fewer barkeeps and no absolut. what the fuck? i go away for a few months and they fuck everything up. gotta write a letter to someone about that. it's just wrong. got a nice surprise the other night at jonny lang as i got more wasted than i have been for a long, long time and got to see one of the other guys i used to hang out with. that was neat. heh. drunken friends are always the best!

as for the rest of the world. geez. you've really got to wonder about this country some times. or at least about our so-called leaders. hopefully since bush and his buddies fucked up their public image and response to ms. katrina, hopefully they'll be a little more ready for rita. who knows though. sucks for the guy who had the job in the first place at fema. he probably did just what he had been told to do, and couldn't do anything else. or he's just plain dumb. don't know which one it is. meanwhile a bunch of people died and we looked incompetent (as if the world didn't already think that) and we still had the nerve to turn away medical and other help from countries we don't like. ugh. unbelievable. next thing will be the lovely supreme court telling women to say goodbye to their wombs. they all belong to the government now. hopefully not. that fucker roberts says he believes in stare decisis (which really rocks, cuz i already knew what it meant! go snuff go snuff), or at least he professes to. 

went to the fair the other weekend. it was the first time i've been there since i was a kid when it wasn't actually hotter than the surface of the sun there. that was kewl. had a couple of the beers from the world ... couldn't get to all 54 of them, saw some pretty good blues music, including one band that had a girl harmonica player with a big assed tattoo covering one arm. sadly the chick looked like a dude. ugh. it was neat though. was irritated they took out the old model trains that have always been there. that sucked. tried those piggly fries for the first time ... wasn't too impressed, lol. tastee chips were about as pleasant. you'd think with all that grilling and frying and got knows what else they do there that it would end up tasting a lot better than it does. sigh. actually saw for the first time the fried twinkie stand ... always kind of thought it was just an urban myth. but it is true .. you can actually fry a twinkie and eat it. didn't see anybody ordering one though, lol. you gotta wonder. the two worst parts of the fair were 1) most of the animals weren't there yet so i was spared the guilt of going for a hamburger after looking at the cattle and 2) since wasn't hot most of the chicks weren't half naked. boo hoo.

anyway, enuf for now. i'm gonna go rest my aching head for a few hours. just comin' off the worst case of stomach flu i've had in like ten years. yuck. it was probably those damn piggly things that did me in!
