YES! YES! YES YES! Its about time!

Partying on a school night is hard. Well, the partying isn't hard. It's the whole "Man, I'm-only-gonna-get-like-5-hours-of-drunk-sleep-and-wake-up-feeling-not-so-hot-and-hungry-cuz-you-didn't-eat-anything-the-night-before-so-you-need-to-drink-lots-of-water-and-take-two-Tylenol thing." Considering this is what I'm eating for breakfast.

I been a doin' and a goin' and movin' and a groovin' and drivin' and a cryin' and a mowin' and a weed eatin' and a applyin' for home loans..... you shoulda seen me.... I was money.... especially when your credit is as "spotless" as mine...... riiiiight. I'll be performing Disco Duck tonight at the Dog..... may I'll do some disco dog, disco stu style...... I need to stop right there.

Bill Brasky is set to go off at 12:45AM, October 3rd.... there will be no survivors.

No, seriously. I'm kicking Kevin's ass.

No weekend update til tomorrow. Very tired from rockin' out and too much work to do today.

Well, after hours of discussion board/support reading at Apple website and trial and error software reloads, I've breathed a little bit of life back into my ipod. Restored it and got it to connect to the iMac here at work.... the problem is all my music is on my iBook and it still won't connect to it. I'm making progress and I refuse to give up.

I laughed my ass off at every one of these. Its funny, cuz you know they're right.

Eddie.... Alex.... Michael.... and SAMMY! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Live at the Oklahoma City Ford Center! This is the concert of all concerts for me. I am more excited about this show, I think, than any other I've seen. Even seeing them back in August of 93 right after High School. I'm gonna try and do an audio blog from inside but I've realized that every show I've been to in there, I can't hear anything coming from my phone. Saturday We'll definitely be in attendance for Badwater at the Bricktown Dog. Two great rock n roll bands in two days.... rock and... uh... roll.

I wish cars had autopilot.

So I think we all drank our shitty day into a good one last night at theDog. Good times and good conversation. Today should be better... gonna grill some bleu cheese burgers tonight. word is bond.

No one can even fathom how pissed off I am. So excuse the cursing here.... shit damn fuck bitch cock ass fuckin dick suckin mutha fuckin shit bitch asshole! I'm doing considerably well as I sit here with my iPod that went tits up on me. No one knows what its like to have over a thousand songs at your finger tips only to have them stripped away by some unkown force. It won't hook up to any of my computers except the ONLY time I got it connected, it just seemed to go ahead and erase every song (including the fucking operating system) I had on there. I'm already dreading getting into my van cuz what the fuck am I gonna listen to now??? Shit! So, I went and bought Van Halen's new "Best of Both Worlds" cd. That's the only thing keeping me level headed is seeing the greatest rock n roll band of all time (in my book anyway) this Sunday, fronted by the Red Rocker himself. I just heard the opening band, Shinedown do a sweet acoustic version of Skynrd's "Simple Man". I think they're gonna kick some balls. I need to load my iPod with some of their tunes... oh wait... that's right... its BROKE ASS.

Whose idea was it to stay til close last night?

It bothers me (or its really sad) that out of the Billboard Top Ten, I've only heard of three people on there. Hoobastank, Usher, and Alicia Keys. One rock band in the Top Ten???? Come on! We need rock 'n' roll to come back really really really bad.

So, I'm finally starting to "fine tune" some things here on the site, like getting my pages to load in the iframe here (thanks Kevin... punk) and I put up a brand spanking new Guestbook that everyone needs to resign and tell me what a cool muthafucka I am... AND you can post comments on what I'm doing on my webcam. It shoudl be real ineresting if people will actually USE IT! Have a good damn day!

Wow.... it seems I need to adjust the level of the laugh tracks on my audio blogs. Steve Earle was cool and all but nothing topped the night more than seeing Mr. Brad Piccolo up and around well enough to even sing a tune. He brought nearly everyone to tears when he gave a little speech thanking everyone who has been praying and helping out. He said Ben is doing well and Coop is even up with a walker now. Kick ass.

Well, Its off to Joe's tonight to catch The Stragglers show.... and yes probably to see Steve and Brandon at the "whateveritscalled" bar.

Oh and the weekend doesn't end on Sunday cuz Monday after work, we'll all be out for The Stragglers kicking off Joe's Anniversary Week. Its a free show outside folks so there's no reason for anyone NOT to be there. You all best have a good weekend.

So it does look like we're going to see Steve Earle tonight at the Woody Guthrie Festival. Beth, Chad, Eric, and Katie are going. This looks to be Eric's last hoorah before he and Katie move to Des Moines, IA tomorrow. Those are two killer people right there. We wish them all the best. I know its not the last we'll be seeing/hearing from them for sure. But nonetheless, they'll be missed.... get ready to kick it up a notch tonight boys and girls.

Couple of other things... I think Davd Blaine has sold his soul to the devil. We watched his Street Magic show last night and was blown away. I know he does crazy big as tricks but seeing even the little ones makes me wonder. He rules, I'll give him that.... but its still freaky deaky.

Oh and this just in!!! Martha Stewart is going to jail! Hahahaha!

I forgot to mention that I learned something last night. Its really hard to change the oil in you car when its dark and the engine's really reall really hot. There's a couple of spots on the driveway where I dropped the old filter. It was too hot to handle, too cold to hold, They're called Ghostbusters and they're in control..... sorry I broke into song there.... word up.

So, due to a slight mix up.... my boys from south of the border, Texas Jack, will not be appearing Saturday night at the Bricktown Dog. They are however playing the Red Dirt Cafe that night. Melisa and I are, however, still going to the Bricktown Dog as she has some old high school friends we're gonna party with. Plus its $2 long necks all night with no cover... word. Tonight I think we may be going to see Steve Earle at the Woody Guthrie Festival. We'll see if there's any other takers on going. As long as we've been in this music scene, we've never been to the Woody Festival. I sure hope there's a little beer there. I noticed the people seem more "mature" than what we're used to and that's cool. Its supposed to be about the music anyway. Rock...

So, its KRAZY DAZE in Stillwater this weekend. All the bargain hunters are in full effect starting at 7am this morning. All the retail outlets, including ours, have prepared all week for this yearly event. I remember when I first moved here and hearing about crazy days, I thought, what a cool idea for stores to blow out their stock to prepare for fall.... and I remember saying, I'll get up early and find ME some good bargains! But then I thought, I couldn't ever get up early to go to class so why would I get up early to shop.... then I went back to sleep.

Seriously.... this is all I want. I'd be happy..... promise. :-)





Is that too much to ask for?..... I guess so. Just keep drivin' my plain ole hooptie for now.

Man, I seriously need to quick watching Overhaulin'. That shit makes me sick what they can do in seven days when it would take me a couple of years to do what they do. I want to be Chip Foose. An automobile designer AND builder. What a badass. Check out the shit he's built. If I could, I'd pour all the money I made into my van, make it one low mo fo, and buy a 74-80 'vette to do a frame off restoration.... but first I gotta get a house with a garage big enough to install a lift. That would kick ass. Other than music, my first love (as a hobby!) has always been hot rods.

A tribute to Kevin's latest blog as how I read it. Maybe we should all re-write it as how we see the world.....



"As he gets into the bar, he is excited, yet unsure what he should do. He looks around at all the liquor and remembers how they do act as a medicine for his soul and his mind. He continues to look around and get comfortable on his new bar stool. Gonna be a late night, and he's got to work tomorrow.



As he is getting used to the new stool, new drinks, some new folks to hang with, he longs to be back at his home on the couch watching a great a live show dvd, or dancing around the living room. But he still feels that in order to progress as an individual and to get to the point in his life that he wants to be at, this is something that he has to drink. He does realize that his liver isn't much healthier. His kidneys are clean all the time, his bathroom is working, he is just trying to hold his own at the bar. Yet all the time . . could he have changed himself as much as he soiled his drawers?"

Vince Neil at the Bricktown Dog Friday Oct. 8th. I was working the night shift at the Kinkos right across the street from the WD Concert Hall in Stillwater when he came there oh so many years ago. I stood out front listening to all fun going on inside. Now is my chance to make up for the fun missed.

No, I didn't forget about Macon Greyson Friday night cuz I think they deserve a little blog of praise their own here. Now, I've only seen them probably four times but nothing kicked more ass than their show opening for Warrant. I even saw a couple of mullets rockin' out to them..... word. Those guys kick balls. Check out their shows. You won't be disappointed. Just check out the pics I posted from Friday night.

Wow... what a great weekend. Let see if I can remember it all. Let's see, Friday, aahhh yes, Warrant at the Bricktown Dog. That was quite a show. The band was tight as shit as they should be for playing with each other for over 20 years now. Their new lead sing though, he tried a little too hard at the whole rock n roll stage show. I get how you're trying to keep the "arena" aspect of it all but those days are over man. We all had a great time regardless smiling at the crowds reaction. One thing I did learn that night is don't leave your wife in the van for over an hour on her birthday when you said "It'll be like 10 minutes, them we'll go". The beer scooter was in full effect. Had to get a jump from Ryin with Kevin's cablessince Melisa turned on the radio and was unaware the lights came on as well. Good times.... good times.

Saturday I spent a good four hours on our yard preparing it for the big birthday party that evening. All had a great time bullshittin' and listening to some tunes. Whitney even showed up with Ashly. She's usually a funhater and doesn't like to hang out with us (I kid! I kid!). Everyone held their own pretty well. There were many a empty bottle of liquor and beer cans laying around in the yard and the dining room table when all was said and done. Head count was over 20 as the night passed. 7 of which have websites I have linked up on the right. Visit them and I'm sure you'll see a mention of the party.

Sunday was a lazy "day" as I sat in front of the TV and played Metroid Prime for a good few hours. Then headed down to Eric and Katie Schiltz's place in OKC for a gathering they had there. Melisa didn't get to make it as she was feeling pretty poopy after two very late nights. That was a pretty damn good party too as you can tell from the previous two audioblogs. Had to force myself to leave cuz I could've easily turned that one into an all nighter. I love sitting and drinking and talking in backyards. I miss being outside since all I do is work in a dark room for nine hours a day.

A great time with lots and lots friends this weekend. One of the best I've had in a while. Pics from Friday's show will be up soon. There are some crazy ones.

Welcome me back to eating shit on Friday's again! We got another one posted. Its a biggee!

I must say, that sounds like a helluva party to me!

Happy birthday to my lovely wife Melisa today! For her present, she gets to go see Warrant with me tonight! Lucky her! She's my Cherry Pie!... this is going to be a long weekend.

OK, I don't know who all got an invite to our "July Birthdays" Party on Saturday, but I'm gonna go ahead an invite basically everyone who knows me. So here it is...



Come one come all.... if you dare...

Too damn busy today. I thought this was going to be a short week. It damn sure doesn't feel like it.

Kick arse Badwater are the like of David Hasselhoff!!! Germans adore very much of the Southern Purified album! Scorpions have their heart consumed of the outside! Wow.... I sound like an internet translator... but anyways, kick ass guys! Japan!... you better watch out! You're next!

If anyone saw me take off running from my lawn mower yesterday with my arms flailing about, its because I seemed to have pissed off one of these things on the corner of our house.



Yeah.. they're all dead now.... little peckers.

So we get to come back from the nice holiday weekend with some sad news. Doug Moreland's dog, Holly, passed away on July 4th during Willie's Picnic in Ft Worth. She was one helluva dog and a great performer. Always entertaining people. Our hearts and prayers go out to Doug and his new wife, as we all know Holly was part of thier family. On another note...
