A college roomate of mine is getting married in June.
His bachelor party was Sat. No need to go on in detail about that, except that I have finally figured out how to have fun at strip clubs.
Seriously, this was the first time I didn't hate a trip to a strip club.
(Actually I was there with (2) bachelor parties: my roomie and some dudes I used to work with)
So anyways, the cool thing that happened was that we were hanging out at this dudes parents house before everyone went over for the party.
His dad plays the banjo, and me and him hung out for a good hour talking about the banjo.
I guess I never really appreciated the intricacies of the instrument. But Tex could do some relaly sick shit on the ol' 5-string.
And this also made me think about how much banjo music is in my life.
Which is pretty much nil.
Except for that 'Grateful Dawg' album, which is OK. But Tex said that David Grisam doesn't have cred within the banjo playing community.

dummyI think I'm going to stop drinking.
In like 35 years.
Wed night was the game, and that was fun.
I walked down the block to Faherty's.
Its fun in there when its packed. You end up meeating a lot of different people.
Anyways I wonder how drunk I was last night, because I remember doing some stupid/strange things.
I went with some girls down to Mothers, on Virginia. I don't ever remember how I Met them, I think I just asked if I could go with them.
(this is wierd, because they were all hot, and I think I would usually be intimidated by a group of hot cool girls)
We hung out there for a while, then we all got set to go somewhere else. I started walking in front of the group then I just started running.
I ended up running all the way to New York Pizza. (what the fuck? running??)
At New York I ended up in the back, talking with some really drunk people. They gave me a yoohoo and topped it off from a big ol bottle of canadian club.
Then I started washing dishes there.
Goddamn it, this shit is too wierd. What the fuck is going on? Am I OK?
I really like summertime. I'm sitting here on my couch and my window is open and I can hear the street and the city I don't think there is anything more relaxing than this.

captain's log, supplementalOK so time can hit in (3) ways.
[A] HAMSTER WHEEL.
This is when time just keeps wrapping back on itself.
You can keep going and going, but the faster you go, the faster stuff repeats.
Tip: chill out in the hamster wheel, read good books, get enough sleep, and enjoy the scenery cause the ride sucks sometimes.
[B] CHUTES & LADDERS.
Similar to [A], but different topology.
It doesn't matter where you are on the ladder: theres always an eternity above and below you.
Consider: doesn't it ever seem weird to look back at, say, the 1950's and check out what they thought was ultra-modern. A lot of it seems ultra-silly now, but trust me, we (2000's) are going to look dang ridiculous in 60 years. Such is life on chutes & ladders.

[C] WAVE OF MUTILATION
Ever feel like you're on the nosecone of a rocket hurtling through space(time)? My friend you are riding on the wave of the future. There is no AAA guide to where you are going.
Welcome to the frontier....of the future!
Right so thing about the above. I might not be a good writer (or explainer) but I think that helps describe a lot of stuff about the human condition. We can expand upon that at a later date.
I want to close tonight in saying that I am pretty sure that the blue-jean pant is to the human ass as the electric guitar is to rock and roll.
Think about it.

Thanks. I believe it was at the Minnesota station, but it was a couple years ago so I don't recal.

pow(word,your mother);I had a dream last night about a bird woman.
Actually it was a bird (like an ostrich? or maybe another flightless bird) that became anthropomorphic and kept changing into a lady.
At first I was on the floor and afraid of being trampled by the giant bird lady, but as she became more human, she grew a female ass.
I started to work on her, but she turned around. With a big beak head.
Then I woke up and realized I was late for work.

YOU CAN NOT FUCK WITH THIS BANDOne time, a few months ago, I was at a popular local bar with a friend. (Coles)
She got me a drink, it was supposed to be a White Russian.
But the dude got the container of milk mixed up with a container of orange juice.
To be honest, it was delicious.
I named the new drink the 'Orange Drool-ius'
She told me it was a wussy name.
I renamed it 'Plutonium & Lead' because "Plutonium and Lead would kick anyone's ass."

I had a shot once called a Tootsie Roll that was just kahlua and OJ. No vodka though. Tasted surprisingly like a tootsie roll.
