Odds and Ends
The new Ohgr album is really good. I like it at least as much as the first one, maybe more. The new Cevin Key album is also really good, and very reminiscent of old Skinny Puppy material. Last nite’s Raw was average at best. The stuff with Kane wasn’t than interesting. The stuff with Shawn [...]
Weekend Update
Time has been flying by. Here’s an update: Friday: Went to see GBH and The Circle Jerks at House of Blues. Fun times, met up with a couple friends from the Daghouse msg board. Got free tix to the show, free is the best price. Went home, met up with my favorite drinking partner and [...]
A kingly fellow!
Let the record reflect, that Mark M is a stand up, all around great guy. Last nite, after the milemarker show, he drove my drunk ass, as well as the drunk ass of my companion for the evening home to the burbs in my car, and then took my car to drive himself back to [...]
A show tonite
Tonite: Milemarker at the Empty Bottle. Milemarker kick much ass. I am going out to dinner before the show, possibly at a resturaunt on the beach even, and I’m sure my company for the evening is going to entice me to do much drinking, so I am not quite sure how we’re gonna get home [...]
I ask why are you opening up yr old wounds
I will never figure them out, by them I mean the women. Nothing having to do with them and “relations” with them ever makes sense, or ever works out to my favor. They are freaking out on me left and right! Don’t ask me to explain it, I am even less able to discuss this [...]
PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.29
Have you ever been in a situation where you were worried sick about something/someone and your mind played out horrible outcomes? What was the situation and what did your imagination come up with? How did it all turn out? Yeah, this kind of thing happens to me all the time. When something is going bad [...]
This sucks
Despite the massive hangover, I managed to mow the lawn and go for a 20 mile bike ride with MikeO. I told my tale of woe to him. Now I’m back home bored. I want to have someone to hang out with, yet I don’t want company. I want someone to talk to, yet I [...]
Luck and I have never seen eye to eye
Combustion Manor, which recently felt like the best place on earth, has suddenly never felt so lonely.
The flight has landed
Attn: passenger, we have now landed in your regular shitty life. Let the sucking resume. Thank you for flying “too good to be true” airlines, we hope you enjoyed yr brief flight. You can hope that you’ll fly with us again, but history has shown you are not that lucky, so don’t get yr hopes [...]
Drinking from the necks of the ones you love
My life has gotten very strange and has drastically changed these past couple weeks, but not at all in a bad way. I’m curious how it will all pan out, but in the meantime I am really enjoying the ride. I’m not able to go into it in a public forum unfortunately, but everyone please [...]

1. When was the last time you were in the hospital as a patient? As a visitor? October 7th of last year I had my back surgery. While I would have preferred being a visitor, I was unfortunately the patient. 2. Have you ever been put under anesthesia or sedation? For what reason? Did it [...]
A whirlwind of activity (or where does the time go?)
Tiime has flown by crazy style since Thursday afternoon. I feel like I was on vacation or was dreaming. Here’s some highlights: Thursday: Blood Brothers, These Arms are Snakes, Dance Disaster Movement at The Bottom Lounge. I ended up going by myself. DDM were fucking brilliant, I never heard of them before. It was 2 [...]
And yet ANOTHER SHOW!
7/25 – Circle Jerks/GBH at House of Blues. Just got a hookup for 2 free tix. I’ll know later today if someone is taking my +1 or I have it up for grabs. SOMEONE needs to go to Blood Brothers show tonite with me, everyone that was supposed to flaked on me! I may be [...]
Found: One old friend!
The mystery of Tim Gore has been solved! I have a friend in New Orleans, an artist fellow, who used to know him too, and knows Rave, who is friends with Tim and had his current address, phone numbers and email. I dropped Tim an email and got a reply, so now when I’m out [...]
Whose bright idea was that?!
Ebay’s new look for the pages sucks. I am talking piece of shit. Why take something that worked fine as it was, and make it shittier? Assholes. I would kill a man for a nap right now.
Time for a show.
Thursday THE BLOOD BROTHERS are playing at The Bottom Lounge. Youngdave can’t make it, anyone want to go? I think my liver hurts, and I need some damn sleep!

Can you think of one single decision you made that changed the course of your life. A decision where if you had done something else, everything would be different now? Coming up on 10 years ago now, I was working part time as a video game tester for Midway Games, I also had a full [...]
Heart of Glass
Having seen Blondie play such hits as the title of this post in person, my life somehow seems a tad more complete. Fun time, good show, good food, beer.
The Fun Just Never Ends
Add another show to the list – TONITE! Blondie is playing at the Naperville ribfest. Ah how the mighty have fallen. I’m going with dan and tina, should be a fun time. The 4th was fun. Drinking, bbq, hanging out. I learned last nite on the way back to my car that the green line [...]
Yr tongue is withered, it’s heavier than lead
It has been a strange but good past couple days. Aside from that, last nite I beat my personal best on Addams Family pinball, but it was totally ruined by the fact that I didn’t beat the grand champ on the game, and I would have done it had I not missed the shot to [...]
A year of bloggin
It just hit me (after reading Unix Gal’s blog), that my 1 year anniversary of blogging was June 21. Jesus where does the time go?! Current Music (haven’t done this in awhile): Curlupanddie – We May Be Though with the Past…. EP
