Almost monday already.
Anybody want to go to the Underground Garage show on Saturday night at the Towne Ballroom? Just thought I'd ask. The NY Dolls are playing. C'Mon, it will be fun. I'll even drive.
Nice laid back weekend. I had to spend Friday in the Amherst Time Warner Office waiting on trade and must have been running the befuddled line because each person took forever. Time Warner revamped all the pricing and it's causing a little confusion for peon like me and customer alike, but I got a kick out of one couple who after I did my thing with them, they still didn't know what they wanted. It took an hour. They apologized for being so indecisive. I couldn't resist, telling them the other customers think we're going steady. Lucky for me , they chuckled. There is a shot for me to get back into my old job that I plan to take advantage of. There are two manager openings occuring, which I won't apply for, but once filled, those manager should yield a opening for my vast constellation of qualifications.
Here's hoping.....
Had the kids all weekend and in an dazzling display of cool dadhood, drove the young ladies to catch up with friends. That permitted me and number #1 son to catch a little Star Wars in HD on a rainy saturday. I also backed some kick ass break and bake cookies. Not a one scarred, but not a one left either.
After turning the youngins back to their lovely mom, I ran some errands and wound up at the folks house in Clarence. It felt good to shoot the breeze with Dad and watch some of the Bills game and a little of the other 1:00 football games. CBS had a great one and instead of showing Cincinnati and San Diego doing all this scoring, they stuck with their four nimrods yammering away in the studio. A few helpings of Mom's pot roast and biscuits later, I guess I'm ready for the working week once more.
I did do something that could be cool. My younger sister offered space to stay at her place in March so my eldest is getting a trip to NYC for Christmas. I got the airline tickets with jet blue certificates. I just have to figure out how to cover the rest. Well, maybe a job cutting grass after school (oh wait a minute, got one of those already).
Brace yourself, peeps, Monday is about to come raining down all over us.
Be well.

The Buffalo Sabres are a big deal around their league. They are moving the most trinkets in the league at the moment. You know you made it when the new logos are getting photoshopped into stuff. Bein a Stadler and Waldorf fan, I liked this one quite a lot

A Sign for these timesCategory: drink up!
I believe in these difficult and mean-spirited times in which we live there needs to be a message of hope. Just a single image that speaks to us of love, harmony, peace and joy. An image that suggests the universal brotherhood of man. I have found that image, and I ask that all of you take a moment to be inspired by it.

I think if after the Bush Admin. leaves office a rainbow falls on the whitehouse I wouldn't be suprised. Aren't rainbows gods way of telling the humans here on earth that he was fuckin' with you hardcore and you've passed the test?
Oh crap, I just noticed that that rainbow is touching a Beer Store (snort).

Things that make you go hmmmmCategory: smokey smoke
I just drove past Roswell returning home from dropping my son off at school and it seemed a little weird for a bunch of folks to be outside on a smoke break.
Watch out, Roswell peeps -- contradictions are everywhere

Oh don't get me started. They were probably standing under the "Success! Roswell is smoke free!" banner, too.
I saw one of my patients out on the sidewalk, in the rain, half-naked (in a gown), in her wheelchair (since she's had a few amputations), dragging her oxygen and morphine pump behind her. She just HAD to have that smoke. made me wonder "hmm, where IS rock bottom, exactly?"

I've seen patients with lung cancer who should be on oxygen (they had the nose thing and an oxygen bottle on wheels (hopefully turned off) smoking outside a side door of the Thomson Cancer Center in Knoxville while my mom was a patient there.
My mom told me that one man said I'm going to die anyway so why bother quitting.
Addiction is powerful.

oh, we are well aware. The Roswell cafe will not sell me a latte breve, (latte made with half and half instead of regular milk) because of the responsibility they have to the patients of Roswell, to provide them with the healthiest choices and yada, yada, yada...
But they sell lard laden chocolate éclairs and doughnuts and muffins and sugar glazed everything.
go figure.

Just wanted to touch on the football for a second. Acording to NFL rules (wich the four guys all bashed) Unless you are in the market of either of the teams playing you can't go past 4:15 live. I don't know all the rules but I think it was funny that the guys where upset you could tell that they wanted to watch it to.
I hope you get your old job back. Good Luck!!
I'm definately interested in the Underground Garage show... hard to imagine there is even one member of the NY Dolls still alive, huh? Will mention to (e:Uncutsaniflush). Might be nice for us to see you somewhere other than Weggies. :O)
