A slight irritation
Don't you just love it when you decide to get out of work for an hour during your lunch break and you head down to the local park to eat your lunch?To your delight, you pull in and see that the park is totally deserted and you can eat in peace. There is not a single car or person for miles. You pull in and head to the end and park your car. You pull out your lunch and are just about to take a bite to eat. Then out of the corner of your eye, you spot another car enter the parking field.There are ten thousand spots available, the entire park is empty, but they still proceed to drive down and park right next to you! Then they keep looking at you as you are trying to eat your food and then they start to eat lunch right next to you!These people need a beat down or in the very least, need their car keyed.

A Brief Moment of Oscar History
Overall I thought the Oscars was relatively boring.But man did these two really fuck up what could have been a beautiful song. First off his riff did not fit the song, second the song was written with a twelve string acoustic.Carlos Santana is a second rate guitarist that has managed achieve fame by playing the same fucking riff over and over again. Maybe his brain is two fucked up from all the acid, but he really sucks ass. He was never that good and he has only gotten worse. Isn't their an retirement home for old washed out has been, never was guitar players.

Observations and Peeves
I don't have a whole lot of spare time, but sometimes I do mange to steel a few moments and I get to view some other Blogs out their in Blog land. I have my favorites which I share in a list somewhere over their (pointing right) but every so often I will use Blog Explosion or Blogger to scroll into some uncharted territory. In doing so I have come up with a few observations, pet peeves, and just some shit that plain ole' pisses me off.In somewhat of a loose order I present the following whines, gripes, bitches, compliments, and observations.1. Senseless use of Profanity!!! Are you so simple minded that you can't grasp the english language enough in such a way to to express yourself with out showing us your utter ignorance and limited vocabulary...Wait a minute, I am guilty of this and I find it to be funny...Really FUCKING funny, so ignore this one.2. Music that automatically plays on a site. First off, I hate your music and therefore I am pretty sure I would hate you as well. So regardless of content I don't even give it a second thought if I hear music I pound the 'NEXT BLOG' key with my face. Anyone who is so arrogant that they think that every visitor to their site wants to hear some shitty song which undoubtedly has been illegally downloaded, is a fool. What the fuck makes you think I want to hear YOUR crappy favorite song be played on MY computer in MY house.3. Those faggy animated back grounds. Especially the ones that need me to change my browser setting or to click "OK" to view it. I don't care if it is teddy bears, elf's, or some gay little mythical fairy tail bull shit. It looks stupid and ridiculous and I won't even bother reading. That also includes anybody who uses whatever boy band or teenibopper that happens to be popular at the moment as a background; for fuck sake get some originality.4. Weather & Temperature in YOUR location. Like what the fuck do I care about the god dam weather in YOUR location! Are you so arrogant that you think I am going to visit your hometown if I see the weather is mild and pleasant?5. Pop-up or Pop-under Advertising These really annoy me because they are almost always advertising shit that no one in their right mind would ever click on voluntarily to buy so they have to use this unethical intrusion to get their slimy products in your face.6. Sites offering me a free IPOD or a free anything for that matter. I really Fucking hate that shit. I can afford to buy my own IPOD, or at least I have family that loves me enough to buy one for me and if I couldn't I would not try and get one through some lame ass computer scheme.7. Clocks of YOUR city or timezone. Very similar to the weather thing above. I don't need to know the time from whatever redneck, hillbilly, shit hole, sister fucking town your from. Stop being so fucking arrogant you dumb ass.8. Shitty spelling; just another way to show how stupid you are. I don't give a shit what your message is if you can't take the time to spell check then I won't take the time to read...Wait a minute, I am guilty of this one to. in fact sometimes I spell a word so bad the choices the spell checker gives don't make any sense....So just ignore this one also9. Donation Buttons ...Four words for you: GET A FUCKING JOB! Donation buttons are only for greedy individuals who think we should give money to them or their snotty nosed kids for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to hear their hard luck story or why their freak kid needs an operation. Stop whining and begging and shut the Hell up.10. Tittleing you Blog with whatever psychological defect or illness that you have or claim to be suffering from. Your sufferings will not make your blog any more interesting. Nor do they make part of the "cool bloger" crowd. Just Blog about your interest, your life, even your illness but if I had a quarter for every title I read with the word "Bi-Polar" I'd be rich. Personally I don't give a rat's ass that you found some clever medical condition to cover the fact that your moody, your blog still sucks

"Inset your own title hear"
Last night I could not sleep so I grabbed one of my acoustic guitars and went for a walk. Boy did I walk, before I knew it I was nearly across town but man I was just in a zone, I was walking, strumming, and singing to myself and the creative juices where flowing. Their is just something about the utter stillness of a town and the crisp air in the pre dawn hours of the day. It is a great feeling to capture some of the first fruits of the day and make them your own. Not to mention the hookers and crack heads really dig the entertainment.Now I am sure MrsV would be pissed because their is slight stigma attached to walking around town at 2 am but to my surprise she never realized I was gone. I don't make these midnight walks often but when I do I almost feel a sense of rejuvenation, yea it's corny but I could care lessThe last couple of months have been somewhat stifling because it has really put a damper on my playing. I laid down a couple of tracks before the holidays came sweeping through but I have yet to share them with anybody. Sometimes things spew out of me that I really don't think most people would understand so I haven't been sharing much of anything lately, especially with friends or family. But I do have a niece that can keep a secret so I let her read and listen to my stuff and she can give some great feedbackBeside I remember A few years ago when I let my grandparents hear one of my first demos my grandmother sat down and analyzed the songs so much she called up my mum and myself and was somewhat worried but some of the overtures of the lyrics. I'll be the first to admit I want fans just as much as anybody else but I don't want to explain everything I do or justify some meaning or symbolance behind it. My wife is another one of my biggest fans but also plays right into line as one of my biggest critics. At first it started over poems and lyrics, then songs, then to this Blog. I finally had to tell her if she did not like it then don't read or listen.I have written lyrics ranging to anywhere from my love of Mr Pib to stabbing out my own eyes; what comes out of my pen is often a reflection of the mood I happen to be in at the time, and believe me I get really moody. But at the same time lyrics are meant to tell a story that may not always be the same story. For example I could grab Nick Caves new album and that album will tell me a story Whore that has come to the realization that she is nothing, she is lost in a desire to change her ways but the money is just to easy to leave behind but it may tell you a different story.School is almost done and I hope to dive right back into making some music. I really miss those nights where me and the lovely and wonderful MrsV would stay up light drinking wine and strumming the night away. I may even put together another band and take this one a bit more seriously, their are some great venues around hear to play in and I really do enjoy playing. We shall see only time will tell in the mean time I will continue to add to my stack of demos and my supply of lyrics.perhaps a few more light night walk for some inspiration, I have managed to build a fan base with the hookers and crack heads.

What If
It was 60 years ago yesterday, on February 19th, 1945, that the United States Military embarked on one of its most important military operations, during WWII.It was an operation that would cost the lives of approximately 6,800 Marines, and leave nearly another 20,000 wounded. There were over 20,000 Japanese soldiers killed.The Battle of Iwo Jima was a battle that lasted just over a month. It wasn’t that much of a piece of land. An island that was home to a volcano that had left centuries of volcanic ash as the main top soil of the land. At 4.5 miles long and 2.5 miles wide, it was merely a spec of land in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean.This small piece of property in the South Pacific was more than a little island in the middle of no where, it was a strategic location for the United States Military and her allies to gain significant ground on the Japanese that would ultimately lead to the victory in the Pacific Theatre of WWII.Now my question is this. What if the media of today; the Dan Rather's, the CNN's, the Boton Hereld's, and the rest of the librel media was around back then? What would the Michale Moore's and the Fuck Bush crowed have to say about the battle?I can hear it now from the media and the left.““Is the battle of Iwo Jima Worth It?” “Bring our troops home now”, Or today’s current favorite liberal slogan, “No Blood for Oil” even though there is not a drop of oil in the area. But try telling that to the social anarchists, known as the liberal morons of today who believe everything is about “Oil.”The leftist idiots, whose protests ultimately end up causing more unrest and social disorder than the root of their message, would have marched on Washington D.C. and demanded that the troops come home immediately, despite the consequences of such an action.My whole point in this article is quite simple.Freedom isn’t free and Peace isn’t always pretty. Regardless of what side of the political fence you are on our rights and freedom was brought to us with a heavy price.Sometimes a generation which has no identity quickly finds one, when calamity strikes. It is time for the liberal left to realize that the war on terrorism is not a war which will be over when we leave Iraq. It will continue as countries like Syria and Iran, and North Korea who are state sponsors of terrorism, are going to have to be dealt with.So my question to the liberal left, anti-war protesters, and the Michale Moore clones is this. Do you enjoy your right to spew your anti-war rhetoric, and make an ass of yourself? If so, you had better get on the right side of the argument, and shut your mouth. If you tried to act like you do, in Syria, Iran, or North Korea, you would be invited to your own execution, in about 30 seconds.Like our parents often said when we grew up. “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.” It is time for the liberal left to “Not Say anything at all.”

Ideoligical Philosphy
I am so sick of this whole concept that you have to fall into one ideological philosophy in order for your opinion to really matter.When was the line drawn that in order for you to be a part of a certain political party you had to toe the line of every thing the party stands for. I find it hard to belief that their is some imaginary line drawn somewhere and you magically either fall to the left or to the right of the political spectrum with no if, and, or but. What ever happened to voting for convections or better yet voting for the individual regardless of the party? How to ones core values magically fall under one party's political platform.Is it possible to belief in less taxation, fiscal consevertism, gay marriage, pro abortion, no welfare, gun control, legalized pot, health care for all, privatization or abolishment of social security, education reform, patriot act, and the closing of the Mexican border. Sure it is, but do I need to compromise all those values into a political party, perhaps toss a quarter. Maybe just throw the chips in the air and let them fall where they may? Or perhaps pick the lesser of two evils? If not then explain to me what the last election was about. Talk about choosing between a "giant douche or a Turd Sandwich". Is their going to come a time when people will stop bitching about the problem and do something? Or will we just continue to fall in line with the rhetoric that spews out of the mouth of whatever wolf in sheep clothing manages to take the spotlight.The other day I was brought into a discussion with a couple of "I heard it on FOX news so it must be true" people. These two wanted to disregard my opinion because while I'll admit I voted for Bush I think he is doing a shit bag of a job domestically. Now I have never made no bones about where I stand on any particular issue, but I do happen to think that GW is a fucking retard. I don't by into this left wing bull shit that he engineered 9/11. He couldn't engineer the successful tying of his own damn shoes, let alone a masterpiece like that. Come to think of it, Bush can't even SAY "shoes" without stuttering, mispronouncing it, or otherwise fucking that up. But all that aside I voted for the man if for no other reason than to keep John Kerry out of office. I loved Bill clinton and voted for him; and would have voted for him again if I could, I voted for Perot once, and vote for the libertarian party quite often. So does this invalidate my opinion? Do I need to for go my personal beliefs for the betterment of a party which I think is taking its big shot and fucking it up daily.When did we as a society form one collective opinion? Are we willing to sell ourselves short and settle for half of nothing. It doesn't matter what fucking letter they place after their name. The only thing they want is power and more power, both mainstream party's are broken and beyond repair and even all the quasi-mainstream alternative parties (like Green or Libertarian) are full of shit.

If you want some of me you better come prepared
Every morning during the week we all gather in the hanger about ten minutes till seven and sign in. We have to sign in by seven and have until seven fifteen to guzzle down that last cup of coffee or scarf down that breakfast burrito or glaze doughnut we purchased off the gut truck to give us are nourishment so we can learn or at least go through the motions of learning.Their is a interesting group of fellows that go gather in the next class room and hold their little morning prayer meeting every day like clock work. Now this is really none of my fucking business and I respect their decision to take part in whatever fairy tale they want to believe in. I will even keep my mouth shut and only laugh at their pathetic brain washed minds in my head. I will downplay their idiotic and feeble attempts to try and explain the meaning life by the words that where written over two thousand years ago by man...Men that where in many ways no different than me.I will respect their opinion...until...they bring it up and try to engage me in a religious debate.Then I will pounce on them and rip them to shreds as I dissect every fucking word in that book of fairy tales proving to them and any body around them that they don't have a fucking clue as to what it is that book and what exactly they believe in.Can you guess what we did on powerplant class for the first 2 1/2 hours of the day yesterday.They are blinded by ignorance and stupidity and In many ways I have lost lots of respect for a couple of individuals and the other people I never had any respect for. If you want a to debate me then you better come prepared because when I take a position on something I am not your typical "I saw it on t.v. so it must be true" ignorant idiot.I don't give a shit what you fucking believe in or worship just don't shove your fundlmentalism down my throat.

Feel Good Promises
So I was driving my environmentally unfriendly SUV at a very high and uneconimical rate of speed consuming more than my fair share of mother earths precious resources when I had sort of a revelation.It is really easy to get caught up in the synchronsity of life and go about your merry Fucking little way (f-word not necessary but I like using it) and think that the whole world revolves around you. But that sad reality is that we are a mere speck of micro scopic shit on this great micro cosim of earth which is also a mere micro scopic piece of shit floating around in this great big old universe.Now I know that comes as a great big shocker to a lot of you in blogger land but it is the sad truth. It is real easy to get so wrapped up in life and become so self absorbed that we let the things and the people which matter the most to us slip away into a fast wasteland of slowly fading memories.I myself am a prime example of a self absorbed individual who in many ways has not got a fucking clue on how bad life is really passing me by. It is so easy to get wrapped up in school, work, house-hold chores, and personal interest that we often don't realize that life is zipping right past us.I wrote once about my grandparents who's twilight years begin to set long ago (not trying to be cruel but a sad reality) I last saw them shortly before Christmas and swore to myself no matter how busy I get I will make every effort to visit them and cherish whatever time I have left with them. But alas I fall short in my hear I am nearly two moths latter with a whole list of excuse that my sound good and by all means are leget, but the shear fact is I am just two selfish and to fucking lazy.Their you have it I can say it can you. How many false promises do you make to people in your daily life; making plans you know dam good and well you will never keep; telling people what they want to hear to take the path of least resistance. "hey I am sort of busy now I will call you latter"...."It was great running into you lets get together real soon"...."No problem I would love to help out give me a call"....come on we all do it. We may have the greatest of intentions but then life gets us all wrapped up within ourselves and tunnel vision kicks and our greatest of intention fall by the wayside. The simple fact is good intentions are like assholes we all have them... now their is a worn out saying but its true.When it comes down to those "feel good promises" we say to other people we need to remember they quite often they want to take us at our word. Whether it be for help with a big project, dinner plans, or a simple visit those feel good promises mean something. I will never forget a few years back I asked several people to help me move. I was single so we were not talking about a lot of stuff, but I offered beer and pizza and a "I'll help you i.o.u."; and every one of people who said they would be their flaked in way or another. I am still waiting on my brother in law to come over and help me fix my garage door opener. (waiting almost a year and a half now) And I think my mum is still waiting for me to call her back after I took a shower...(must be a long shower she called last week)It may not sound like much but I am going to make a point to stay true on my "feel good promises". Even if it means not making them.

Slumber Party Recovery
So I did my taxes Friday, and surprisingly I did not take the anal raping I was expecting. I guess I really was not expecting to have to pay after all; I figured I would get some back I was just surprised by how much. But unlike most people I am not to thrilled about having overpaid so much. I am not in the habit of normaly doling out interest free loans to people. But then I suspect a refund is defiantly better than a pock in the eye. It is really amazing to me how stupid people are when they it comes to taxes. The acountent was telling me of a gal that had been in right before us that was insistent on taking her return to get a "rapid refund" which basically amounts to a high interest load on her refund. So high an interest it took 330 dollars away from her total return. Where as she would have gotten the entire sum if she had efiled and waited 14 days. I guess people just see refunds as money they did not have.Me and the lovely and gracious MrsV went out on the town Friday night. We had ourselves a great dinner, sucked down a fabulous bottle of wine, and took in a great blues show at one of the fine drinking establishments in the "shit town" to the east of our "shit town". Food, drink and guitar what a great way to spend a Friday night and cap off a rather busy week.Yesterday we hosted the extended family in a birthday party of sorts for the little one. My wives side of the family are really big on birthday party's when it comes to the children; almost to the point where I would call them excesive...screw that they are excessive and way to much!!!!! But then after going to one of these party's you also see that it is as much about just getting the adults together for a reason to eat drink and be merry; which one of the reason why my wife's family is very close.So last night was our turn, even though our daughters birthday was a few weeks ago. But things are always a bit different when it involves MrsV , littleV, and myself, and the family has grown used to that and understands but god dame if we where going to take away a reason for another party so we finally through a little bash last night. Then to top it off a whopping total of 13 children ranging in age from 6-13 spent the night a a grandiose of a slumber party which included movies, games, midnight jumps on the trampoline, giving my poor dog a manicure (he really was a good sport), caramel corn, and just a complete utter disregard in the peace and quite of my house. So about 10:30 I had enough, and bailed out to the local pub and had a few beers with a couple of friends. When I got home this morning at 3 am the living room was a tangled mess of bodies and blankets. But all in all they did not mange to trash the place to bad, in fact MrsV has already restored order and sanctity to our bungalow.So all in all the weekend was rather eventful. I am deffianlty looking forward to a good night sleep tonight and a rather busy week next week. I have my FFA Airframe exam on Friday which I am study for then its all down hill from their with my Powerplant exam on March 3rd and my Oral and practical set to start on the 11th. After all that is finished I plan on taking the lovely and gracious MrsV for a week or so and getting lost with her somewhere toward Reno or perhaps Northern Cal.It looks like I have hit the 800 on the old stat counter tonight. At this rate I will more than likely break 1000 by the end of the month which is kind of cool. Traffic to this little shity piece of the web has really taken off this past month in fact it has more than tripled. Well folks sorry about the let down. Peace and love.

Fuck the U.N. and Fuck Apeasment
"Brussles, Belgium - secretary of state Condoleezza Rice warned Iran on Wensday that it risk U.N. action if negotiations with Europe over it's nuclear programs don't progress." ...Is this a fucking threat or a promise. I mean who are we kidding do we think other country's some how start shaking and quivering with fear when they are threatened with United Nations. Does one Shite tell another Shite " We better be careful the U.N. is coming for us" The United nations has proven itself to be as worthless as two tits on a nun. It is corrupted from the highest levels on down as evidence by the defunct oil for food program. Its pathetic resolutions are absolutely meaningless as evidence by the twelve plus years of pathetic pandering in a feeble attempt to stave off backing up it's 91 peace acords in Iraq.Weapons of mass destruction my ass, fuck the war on terror if the United Nations had any fucking backbone it would have went back into Iraq long ago to hold them accountable to their meaningless resolutions.But then I guess I'm not the only one who sees the United Nations threats as comical and a pathetic waist of time; Iran President Mohammed Khatami was quoted on Thursday that his country would turn into a "scorching hell" for any possible attackers. "Will this nation allow the feet of an aggressor to touch this land?" Khatami asked at the crowd. "If, God forbid, it happens, Iran will turn into a scorching hell for the aggressors." His statements drew chants of "Death to America!" from a crowd of tens of thousands gathered on a square in Tehran to mark the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.Not to be out done in the spotlight the little man from North Korea, Kim Jong Il, who has always liked to talk a big story, but up until two days ago, nobody knew how to take his rhetoric.Well, Kim Jong Il has now announced to the world that his country has nuclear weapons, and says it needs them to protect itself from U.S. aggression."We ... Have manufactured nukes for self-defense to cope with the Bush administration's ever more undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the (North)," the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.Well it appears to me that the only fucking time the United Nations has any fucking backbone what so ever is when it has the might of the United States Military doing its dirty work. The U.N. is nothing short of a group of dictators and thugs masquerading as a legitimate world body and it is time that we as a country tell these slimy fucks to eat shit.The Untied Nations has for to long been nothing other than an outlet for European nations to push forth their appeasement agenda; and we all now how well that works. But just incase you don't know hear is a quick refresher:Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to toothless agreements.Appeasement legitimized and stabilized Communism in the Soviet Union, then East Germany, then all the rest of Eastern Europe where for decades, inhuman, suppressive, murderous governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities.Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and even though there was absolute proof of ongoing mass-murder, Europeans debated and debated and debated, and were still debating when finally the Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet again, and do their work for them.Screw the united nations and screw the Condee's little fence mending trip into Europe if anything is to be done obviously the United States is the one that has to step up to the plate and lay it's dollars and it's life on the line so Europe and any other faggy ass country can sit back in their cowardness and criticize our "cowboy" attitude.

Happy Fucking Ash Wensday
I've decided to give up giving up stuff for Lent for Lent.Failing that, I give up sobriety and monogamy. Or I can give up organized religion. Or arbitrary promises and pledges. Or semi-pointless self-denial.I am not a good Christian boy because frankly I have grown tired of the crap and the self righteousness that goes along with it. I mean who are we kidding, all this holier than thou crap is really farce and a joke. I am so friggin sick and tired of everyones moral agenda being shoved down our (the public) throat in the name of Jesus. I am convinced that if Jesus where to walk into any number of churches and see them they way they are today he would throw a fit that would make his rebuke at the "temple of Jeruslaem" look calm (I bet most christain's have no clue what I was talking about thier) in fact the same people preaching his name today would probably be the ones wanting to crucify him if he was hear.I think John Lennon said it best "God is a concept by which we measure our pain"...Some people may not know this about me but I was very interested in religion at one time. So much so that I took a strong interest in the study of youth ministry and music ministry. In fact I was on staff for some time at a church in "shit town". But ironically when I was either frequenting the bar as a patron or playing them as part of the house band I saw more of the "holly rollers" showing their true colors...."To bad their wives our husband where at home not knowing"I once was kicked out of church for not "looking the part" regardless of the fact the dumb shit did not know I was the lead on the church band. I have been asked to leave a youth group as a kid because my "heart did not feel sincere". I once had an evangelist lay hands on me and tell me "she felt the spirit of murder dwelling inside" of me. I had a pastor once tell me he knew the exact date of the "end of the world". I was told by a priest that because of my past I was not good enough to be married in his church ( if my wallet was a bit fatter my past would not have mattered) Me and my wife have since been told that we are no longer "holy" enough to take communion in the church. All of this on top of the countless Christians, believers, born agains, choosen ones, children of god, or what ever the fuck they want to be called; I have wittiness living their daily life with the "do as I say, not as I do" philosophy.My hypocrisy only runs so far then I have to draw the line. I drew the line some time ago when I tossed my bible out the window if a rolling semi truck doing 90 miles an hour on I94 somewhere in Montana.Kiss my ass Father Rick..............."My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can."

What the FUCK is wrong with me!
I'll be the first to admit that I am a bit weird and quirky at times. So much so that I think my wife is afraid that I'll rub off on my daughter; because she is always telling me to "act like a normal person"..."act my age" or "quite being weird in front of littleV" But what the fuck would posses me to actually be somewhat fascinated, mildly amused, and a bit awed by this lame as fact...A toaster works by applying radiant heat directly to a bread slice. When the bread's surface temperature reaches about 310 degrees Fahrenheit, a chemical change known as the Maillard reaction begins. Sugars and starches start to caramelize -- turn brown -- and to take on intense flavors. That's toast.With more heating, the sugars and underlying grain fibers start turning into carbon. That's burnt toast.--From a Consumer Reports test on toasters, June 1990

So I went for a job interview
So I went for a job interview yesterday, in a way that kind of sucks because I have no desire to want to work at that particular place or even in that particular part of the industry. But I did not want to burn any bridges so I went. I also did well and I think I may have gotten the job, which once again sucks because I will probably turn it down unless their is a surprising amount of money offered. But by the looks of the place I seriously doubt that.What sort of pissed me off is I told the gal over at the collage what I was interested in and what I was not interested in and what does she do she send me to exactly what I don't want. A friend of mine from the aviation campus also went for an interview and he really wants the job and he is a good kid and from what I saw he would fit in nicely over their so I really hope he gets it. In the meantime I will continue to focus on finishing school and passing my FAA exams.I am really bored and fustraded...It seems like I am either in school or stuck with a FAA book under my nose at home. My guitar's are "gently weeping" because they feel neglected. It's been a little under a month and a half since I had my last vacation but yet I want another one. When school wraps up and I finish my FAA exam I am going to grab the wife and we will head up to Northern Cal and spend a few days lost in the mountains. But I am also thinking about an early spring trip back east this spring. Our last trip was an intense emotional ride that was way cool. (way cool did I just say that...Oh well) any I can't wait to get there again without all awkwardness of the first encounter...Looking forward to the breakfast table conversations.Can you belief that over 600 people have visited this Blog since I first put that stat counter on which was roughly the first part of December. During December I got roughly 200 hits this past month I have more than doubled that. Still nothing when compared to some of the better blogs I read such as whitey, the monkie diaries, or Bitter Betty or some of the others over to the left on that blogroll thingy.I was invited to a super bowl party tomorrow, not sure if I will go. I am not very big into sports. As a kid I really dug them and has a cool little thing going on with my grandpa. What it amounted to was when I was real little he was watching a football game and he said he wanted the red team to win, so being a cheeky little shit I choose the blue team whish developed into me liking the Rams and him liking the 49ers. Of course our little rivalry carried over into baseball as well and we had some fun with it as I was growing up. My brother in law is a big Rams fan and are rather nuts about sports in general but as far as I am concerned I could really give a shit. It just is not as fun with our my Grandpa so I will more than likely go rape the DVD section at Longs and fry my eyes with whatever mindless movies happen to be out.

War of Ideas
War of IdeasThe clouds in my mind rollturmoil prevailsdark, black-gray massesfighting, madness.Hail falls,gashes open,thunder comes to call,lightening strikes hard and fast.Then, suddenlythe sun shines through,a speck in the distance,the clouds are reprimandedfor fighting an unnecessary war.Snow falls gently,a comforting blanket,for the woundsleft behind.

Another lame and Boreing Entry
ZOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That is the sound of my life the past few days and it will only just get more hectic until mid march.I sort of think maybe I bit off more than I could chew this semester but it's to late now. I have a night class two days a week in addition to my four ten hour days spent at the aviation campus. But alas the light is at the end of the tunnel and I can nearly taste the victory.I took my daughter to her dance class tonight which is mildley amusing considering it is a class full of 7-9 year old and at that age all of them have very little coordination and only a couple of them, my daughter included can tell their left from right. But the dance teacher makes for some great eye candy but she is a bit to skinny for me.I set up a new computer for my daughter this weekend. She is chomping at the bit to dive in and really use it but she really can't do much yet. It is one of the Apple G5 and I know very little about it being a Pc man myself unfortunatly I have very little time myself to really get in it to teach her anything. So I just cut her loose with it and told her she was one her own till this weekend when I would have some time to play with it. So she is loving it, it came with a digital camera and she has taken pictures of just about everything. I am going to buy myself a new 512 (or whatever it is) megabyte card and give her my 128.Speaking of those G5's it make me wonder what the big fuse over the new "mini Mac" is; the G5 is much more sleek, compact, and versatile. I guess the mini Mack is fo pussies who don't know any better.A bit of a falling out over at Howies leads me to wonder if I am still apart of the promotions and sound coordination for the gigs. If they want to be assholes then fuck them...Without purposely trying to sound like a little kid I will pull my gear and find a new venue.I am pissed beacuse I did not get U2 ticketts this weeknd. The dam shows sold out in like .02 seconds. Not to mention the bull shit prices of the shows. Tickett prices have gotten out of hand, it's a bunch of horse shit. So to all you fucks that got ticketts I really hope the show sucks ASS....I have been devoting much of my free time to the study of my upcoming FAA exams in addition to my regular studies to get me through this last semester. So sadly my music has suffered a bit because of it. I have been dry and have not much knew as of late but I still manage to strum a bit every day. Time well spent for I find it to be therapeutic and relaxing for me. I start my FAA exams on March 11 and finish on the 14th and after that I plan on coming back "full on hardcore"
