Well, that was a fun waste of 3 hours. I killed 104 people in that amount of time, mostly using a flak cannon. I'm ready for tonight. Everyone else better be prepared too. Mwahahahaha. Spooky.

I think we'll finish the work day with a little Unreal Tournament 2003.

I fuckin' love Halloween. Its one of the partyin'est days other than New Years. People that dress up make it a fun day. Then goin' out to our regular spots at night, it just makes me drink a little more hard. Wormy Dog Halloween has always been fun. This will be the first one at the Bricktown Dog though. Looks like it will live up to the standards. I better see some damn costumes!

Ragan's Golden Rule for Halloween: "Do not dress as a terrorist for Halloween." Follow this rule and everyone will be safe.

That's what I'm talkin' bout. Oh and Boland and the boys are at the Brewery. I'm sure we'll be covering all the bases for the evening. Speaking of bases, not many people covered free beer at South Park Wednesday night. I'm a little disappointed. I thought everybody was all about it. I guess I'm the only trooper. I love to drink beer and watch cartoons... who doesn't?

Congratulations to Shane and Loren Zerr for they have found out they will soon have another occupant in their household! The arrival is scheduled to be a couple of weeks after our wedding. Crazy stuff man. All we old schoolers are growing up..... except me (and Kevin I guess). I'm still a Toys R Us kid. Word up. Rock on guys!

Got pics from last friday night posted. Mike McClure Band and WD Allstars. Party.

So, I was playin' around on iTunes lookin' for some new music. Well, I found it. And if you've seen the iPod/iTunes commercials on tv then you've heard one of their songs. I'm talkin about the band Jet. A little band from Melbourne. I immediately started banging my head and doing the rock hand sign... I even almost got up and danced. I suggest everyone go get that cd too and rock out with me. See everyone at South Park = Free Beer at the Bricktown Dog tonight.

Check out these little movies taken by NASA of the big ass solar flare that hit us earlier. Crazy shit. Over and Out.

The best damn show on TV is back. Just got through watching 24. Best damn TV show in years.... other than The Shield. Jack Bauer has 23 hours of shit left. Let's see if he kicks his heroin addiction in that time.

You know what I can't wait til tomorrow for????



PARTY!

Yeah, I was dickin' with my computer all day yesterday learning all the new bells and whistles. Its the whistles! I should get back to random postings now. My first of the day..... As I was driving to work coming into Stillwater on 51, I saw where a Suburban completely ate the ass off of a Toyota. Makes me glad I drive a large vehicle. Nobody could eat the ass off my van.... except for maybe a Kenworth. Ta-dow!!

Installing Panther on my iBook right this minute! Stay tuned!..... I don't know why.

I've got a fever.... and the only prescription is Panther! We just ordered our copy today and we'll get it Monday! Party.

Yes, it will be another evening of thrills, chills, and beer spills tonight at the old B-Dog. The Wormy Dog Allstars are opening for McClure and his bunch. Good times. And being at the original Dog last night here in Stillwater makes me appreciate the new one that much more. Maybe I'm growing up or getting old. I mean, its still cool to hang there and stuff. The atmosphere is still there. Especially the atmosphere of the men's room where the sink is backed up and used as an ash tray, the toilet that doesn't flush and used as a butt receptacle in more ways than one, and the the sweet urinal trough with no running water. Oh it's heavenly. I used to never bat an eye at that saying, "if you don't like it, tough. that's the Wormy Dog." Now, not so much. In Bricktown, I can hang in the bathroom all night (not that I actually would). Let me paint a picture of this epitome of restroom goodness. Six individual urinals with fresh cakes resting at the bottom emmitting the finest urinal cake oder I've ever smelled before. I believe five toilets with "privacy curtains" for those special moments. Six clean sinks with hot and cold water. There's even soap! On the wall, a paper towel dispenser with a trash can underneath. Last but not least, a timed air freshener spray that keeps me coming back for that fresh mountain scent. And guess what people... they all work! It's amazing when you have these commodities, guys actually use them. I have no idea why I started talking about bathrooms. Maybe I'll talk about kitchens or lawnmowers next time.

So I go into a convenience store to buy a pack of smokes for the evenings festivities the other day and there was this old lady that could barely stand up straight in there buying $70 worth of Carnival menthol cigarettes. You go girl!

Looks like we get to party at The Original Wormy Dog for a little happy hour action today. See what ole Stillwater still has to offer during the weekdays.

I had a good drive down to the Bricktown Wormy Dog last night. I took Broadway from Guthrie to Bricktown cuz its a little more scenic than I-35, plus Broadway goes right by our house so I consider the bar to be right down the street from me, even though its 30 miles away. It was one of those Oklahoma fall evenings when you drive up and down the rolling hills, there is like a ten degree temperature drop at the bottom. I love sticking my arm out the window and feeling that and the damp smell like fresh rain. It rocked. You don't get to feel that very often and get to pay attention to it. Then I showed up at the Dog and got drunk. If you ever go there and Nathan Cross is bartending, order a bilge pump. One of the best drinks I've ever had and it actually looks like algae coated water from the bottom of a boat. Good stuff.

I finally put up pics from last Friday. It was crazy stupid with people in Stillwater with Homecoming. I just gotta say Hurricane Jane is one kick ass band. They all seem to be pretty seasoned musicians and have a cool groove rock sound to them. Check out their website and look at their bios. Then, I'm going to tell you to go see their show. There will be no disappointments I assure you. As for Stoney's show...... I believe its the best I've seen. That little sumbitch rocked out like a Lionel Ritchie song...... all night long. Donnie put on one helluva show along with him. Rock on guys it was sure good to see you. Anyways, thats all for now. I'm ready for a beer.

I find I can get really tired of hearing Pink Floyd. After about two songs.... I'm done.

Well I think I'm about all caught up now. Got a couple of projects I have to finish today. Work on some advertising for the Bricktown Dog and a Halloween poster for Texas Jack. That weekend is gonna be a party. The Great Divide is playing there on the first too. Gonna hit the Bricktown Dog tonight for a little beer action. So if anyone feels like getting stupid and contagious for any reason, then come on out. Looks as is if Kevin will make an appearance as well.

Sorry for the abscence yesterday (not that anyone noticed), but I had a not so happy family event to attend yesterday. Today, I get to play catch up! Yay! I love trying to get things done in record time! I have pics from last Friday's Homecoming floats and Stoney's show. Don't know when they'll be up but I'm sure sometime this week. Oh well, at least I'm back in the saddle now and bustin' ass!

We beat Tech!

Well, its OSU's Homecoming this weekend here in Stillwater. Its always a party. Melisa and I are going to do the float "walkaround" this evening and then we'll probably check Hurricane Jane and Stoney at the Wormy Dog Concert Hall. I'm pretty excited about seeing Hurricane Jane. They have three girls in the band and I'm a sucker for chicks in rock bands. They have a certain coolness no one can touch. Homecoming weekend is always a party. Usually people come to town I haven't seen in a good while. We play Texas Tech at 2:30 tomorrow I believe. So we'll once again be back at the Original Wormy Dog to watch the game and get stupid all over again. Don't know if we'll stay for Wade Bowen that evening. We'll just have to see. Maybe Ashly and Whitney should come up here and party where were rock stars were made!

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre starts today. We went and saw a sneak preview on Tuesday and I realized I haven't posted anything about it. This movie flat out scared the shit out of me. Mostly because of the "pain" aspect of what was happening to the people. How they died and shit. Slowly. Brought back memories from the likes of the first Hellraiser. It was predictable it most parts and sometimes people were screaming to tell the cast what to do like "Pick up the gun and shoot him dumbass!" There's a little twist in the end as well. If you liked the first Massacre, you'll dig the shit out of this one. Its a great re-visioning.

That's right.... Hell did freeze over. All you Windozzze people enjoy what we have for years now. Check it.

So we went to the Bricktown Wormy Dog last night..... and the funniest thing happened. There was this small leak and it came down from above and it landed on.... oh I guess you just had to be there. Funny stuff though.

I know most people won't care, but Apple is releasing a Windows version of iTunes later today. It has a kick ass music store where you can download songs for $.99 and albums for like $10. The program is free. Rock. I think they will release it sometime this afternoon.

I just want to give a shout out to Sonic and their bad ass texas toast patty melts (with pepper jack cheese) and a shout out goes to the lady that almost got hit by a piece of Matt's popcorn chicken..... that would have been funny if it went into her car.

I'm gonna try this comment thing too. I love bandwagons! Except you can cuss and shit all you want on mine. I fuckin' love it when people cuss. Its funny shit to me. I always say, if you don't like it, then its not very hard to just look away. So, sign away! Bam! Like Emeril.

I never laughed so hard in years. I promise you, you will too. Watch these funny ass parodies of the GI Joe PSA's. I nearly pissed myself.

So.... we just got our tickets to Bret Michaels at the Bricktown Brewery for November 24. I'm not even going to begin to tell you the excitement I have. ROCK N ROLL!!!! PARTY!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!! YOU KIDDIN ME?!?!! YEAH!!!! FUCKIN' BRET MICHAELS FUCKIN' PARTY!!! WOOOOOHAHAHA!!!!... it will be pretty cool I think.

It better not rain today. I spent a good part of the day yesterday washing my van. Cars run better when they're clean. Know why? Cuz they aren't stupid, thats why. Its like after anything has a bath or shower.... they feel good. If I was all crusted up and hadn't bathed for two weeks.... my performance dwindles. Same thing with cars. Keep 'em clean and all the other preventative maintenance and they'll run forever.... only if its a GM or Nissan anyway. ****From your friendly neighborhood Mr. Goodwrench**** yeah and the pics are from the weekend too.

This weekend completely kicked ass. Spent most of our weekend at our home away from home. Friday night we caught Bleu Edmondson with a little show from the Wormy Dog AllStars as the opener. I can't tell how much my balls were rocked. Of course I probably can't tell you much of anything as I was in a sweet haze most of the weekend. Saturday, Melisa and I were up and at 'em again and back at the bar before noon to watch the OSU/Kansas St. game...... which we kicked their ass. Stayed for the first half of the OU/Texas game and saw Oklahoma once again pounding the ever lovin' shit out of Texas. Then we headed back to the house for a little power nap to prepare for the evening's festivities. Traveled back down to the Bricktown Dog about 7:30. Wow... hittin' the bar twice in one day.... right on. The Wormy Dog AllStars hit the stage again for a headlining show. This motley crew consists of Jake Moffat, Kevin Miller, and Chad Dorman. Also had a couple of special appearances by Steve Rice and Brandon Jackson. The night ruled. Jake is at the top of his game right now. Go check him out while the crowds are small. He'll be sellin' out the Ford Center before too long. Took a trip next door to the Green Door cuz we heard the drummer from Godsmack had his "side project" playing there. We got there just in time to see them load out. Party. Got some great pics of the weekend too that I'll post up sometime today. That usually helps me remember what happened.

Drunk Blog #1: Just got done watching Bleu Edmondson at WD Bricktown. Fuckin' kicks ass! Listened to Badwater's "Southern Purified" cd to and from the bar. Go get the cd any way you can. Jake, Kevin, Beth, Chad, Ashly, Whitney and whoever elese was out tonight.... you rock. I been drinkin for a good 7 hours now and I love it! Blue leader over and out.

A brand new "Will Ragan Eat It Friday?" jam packed with freshness. Now up on BadassWebsite

Ok, pics are up from last night. They are in photos: 2003: scroll to the bottom blah blah blah..... Its like a scavenger hunt.

Wow what a night. Melisa and went to the sneak preview of Kill Bill at Quail Spings AMC theater. I gotta say Tarantino has still got it goin on. The reviews were right about this flick. Its like Charlie's Angels... except that it kicks ass. He brings in the hokey aspect of some old kung fu flicks with the gore of japanimation. I see why they call it Kill Bill "Vol.1" though. At first I thought it was like a joke trying to be funny or quirky, but you'll see if you go watch it. Then we headed down to the Bricktown Dog to catch the Forty Twenty Band. We had no idea what to expect from these guys until I saw the upright bass tricked out in some wicked cool flames. They sound like a more upscale Split Lip Rayfield. Any band that plays Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" bluegrass style as their opening song is bad to the bizzone. Then, we heard Local H was playing next door at the Green Door. You probably heard of this band as they were pretty popular back in the mid to late 90's. The drummer was completely beating the shit out of his drums. Some pretty damn good rock n roll for a three piece band. We headed back over to the Dog after catching of few of their songs to finish off the night. I should have pics of last night up later today. Movies and music all in one night.... who'd a thunk it?

This evenings adventure include 1. Going to a sneak preview of Kill Bill 2. Going to see the Forty Twenty Band at the Bricktown Dog. Pretty excited to see them. The Stragglers said they are pretty good but we'll see. Oh and.... 3. Drink beer.

Wow! Kevin has some killer old school pics up. Damn near 200 of 'em. Brought back lots of memories. Even pictures of the Second Coming of Festus Porkmeyer. Head on over to his site and check 'em out.

Oh and there is a late but great "Will Ragan Eat It Friday?" on BadassWebsite. Sorry it was late..... traffic.

If Kevin jumped off a bridge would I follow?......hmmmm. If he said "Man, if you flap your arms really hard you'll fly!". I'd say "No". Then he'd say "Bullshit! I heard someone did it and it was cool as shit!" Then I'd go "OK then." and he'd say Fuckin' a man". Then I'd push him off.

My top five greatest songs of ALL TIME!!!!



1. Summer Nights - Van Halen

2. Nothin' But A Good Time - Poison

3. One For Rock and Roll - Cinderella

4. Horseshoe Lake - Todd Snider

5. Skyline Radio - Tom Skinner

Woohooo!!!!!! Rock On!!!! Paaaaaarty!!!! DECEMBER 14TH!!!!! AT THE FORD CENTER IN OKC!!!!!! AEROSMITH AND KISS!!!! YEEEAAAAH!!!! AWESOME!!!!!! KILLER!!!! ROCK ON!!!! ROCK N ROLL!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!!!

Since Kevin does it, I'm going to try.



My lunchtime thoughts.... I really like chocolate chip cookies. How many gigs of porn is actually on the internet? I wonder if Matt is going to eat hotdogs for his lunch. Does Kevin need a good cock punching today? I need to get a new battery for my micro r/c car. I really want lunchtime to be two hours instead of one.



There.... ponder on that. yeah.

I don't care how "cute" or "precious" you think it is. Don't ever dress up your pet for Halloween. It embarrasses the animal. The only time it is legit to dress up an animal is when you are drunk off your ass..... then its funny.

NEW DOWNLOAD!!!! Action figure theater has finally come to life. This is our first attempt as we are not good screenplay writers.... but we will improve. So go on over and check out the loads page. Also got some artwork up too. That was a bitch.

I hate underbasing on t-shirts. I know most people don't know what that is or the chances you take in doing it while printing shirts.... I just hate it.

So, I forgot to take my camera with me on this weekend's outtings. My good camera anyway, I still had my phone camera, which is fun, but takes quite a bit more effort to post more than one pic. I gotta tell ya, Friday night was the hardest I've partied in a while and it was all because of one man, George Devore. We haven't seen him in over a year and I needed a fix. I don't want to be "the guy" that goes on and on, blah, blah.... but I will. This man is an entertainer. He just played an acoustic set opening for Micky and the Motorcars and it was nothing short of what he does even with his band. Now, I don't want to be the guy that takes out crayons and draws you a picture of how cool it was... but I will.



That about sums it up Friday. Micky and the boys kicked ass too. They contributed very well to my intoxication. Melisa and I went to IHOP afterwards.... not quite Shortcakes but it will do. As for Saturday night, I was leary on making an appearance since my state of mind was still a little hazy but I really dig Seth James cuz I really dig the blues. I flew solo too since Melisa had enough partyin' the night before. Kevin joined me for the evening although he felt about like I did. Also it was Ashly's birthday so I had more of a reason to celebrate. She and Whitney were tearin' it up. Rock on ladies! Still no pics though. I think I'm glad I didn't bring my camera. There might have been some photos that I'd dare say to be "strange" had I taken some. I did snap a few from my phone though and put them up on my slapdash page. I'm done now.

NEW DOWNLOAD!!!! Check out "How to Use Your Cell Phone for Kevin" in the "'loads" section. Its 3MB so i suggest a high speed conncetion and you gotta have Quicktime.

This is a big weekend for music at the Bricktown Dog tonight is the return of George Devore with Micky and the Motorcars. George is opening acoustic and with be playing with Micky's band throughout the night. He is the only guy that can get me out and attempt to dance real hard. Tomorrow night is Seth James. He's got to be one of the badass'ne... badassin... badassedest..... well you get the picture, blues players I've ever seen. Gotta love the blues. Anyways.. I guess I gotta get some work done before I start drinkin'. Song of the day: Loverboy's "Workin' for the Weekend".

My top favorite things to do right now:

1. Watch Carnivale on HBO

2. Play Unreal Tournament 2003

3. Watch Reno 911 on Comedy Central

4. Wind up Kevin and let him go

5. Drink beer at the Bricktown Dog



The manic depression and bipolar disorder I suffer from has nothing nothing to do with it and has not affected my search.
