Jack Grisham, frontman for T.S.O.L. is running for govenor. Hell, if they’ll elect a pro-wrestler, they can elect a punk rock star. Check out the article here.

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 Michaels and Jerhico and Orton was pretty good, and Booker T had a good showing in his match, and I hope they keep that title with him for awhile.

Tonite I’m going to see Pirates of the Carribean. At the drive-in theatre! The drive-in rules, I went a few weeks ago and it was one of the most fun times I’ve had in ages. The drive in is also $6 for a double feature. The nearest multiplex to me is $9. The drive in allows you to sit outside, eat, drink, and relax. The multiplex allows you to sit close to a stranger who is likely going to have their cell phone ringing during the movie. Sure the sound isn’t as good but who cares, I can get the theatre sound with the dvd later, or at the multiplex in the winter when the drive in is not open, or if I’m going to the movies with guys instead of a girl.

I finally caught up on some much-needed sleep last nite. Total amount sleep I got between thursday and monday was around 12 hours. When the alarm woke me up today, I could easily have gone back to sleep for another couple hours.

I can’t decide for the life of me where I want to go to lunch today. My initial lunch plans got cancelled.

This saturday - SINCE BY MAN is playing at the fireside, then I’m going to high-tail it over to some other place to see Milemarker play some benefit show. I hope to be able to pull that off, I think it will work out.

I heard that at the recent Metallica show here in Chicago, Limp Bizkit got booed off the stage and there was this whole big hoopla. I find that funny, and despite the fact that I think Metallica has sucked since shortly after Master of Puppets, I gotta say their remaining fans rule for that one. I wish I could see the footage on that event.

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 stayed up until 6am. Passed out, woke up at 1pm and hit potbellys.

Saturday nite went out, stopped at a bar, decided not to stay. As we were walking out, I heard someone calling my name, turned around, see a girl approaching me, took me a minute to place her and then realized it was one of my two guardian angles from back in the Just Games days when I worked there. Was super happy to have run into her and found out she is still best friends with the other guardian angel. Got her number so we can stay in touch and hope to hang out with them soon.

Sunday: had a crew over for bbq and the wrestling ppv. The PPV was really good, lots of quality matches. Rich won the damn pot again though!

Now it is monday, back at work, sleep deprivation, and starving. Time to go get a Palace burger.

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 the city home. I took the train into work today and am picking my car up after work. Anyway, Mark went way beyond the call of friendship in this case, and deserves all kinds of good karma coming back his way, so thanks bro!

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 if I drink too much to drive, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. I’m fighting off a cold too. Who else is going to the show tonite? Everyone should go!

Tomorrow nite: GBH/Circle Jerks at House of Blues. I have 2 free tix, and may not have someone to take my extra ticket. I may not go, a lot depends on how I feel after going out tonite, and if this cold doesn’t get worse.

As for the shit from the other days? That shit I’m still dealing with. Hopefully something in the future will work out to my favor (for once!) so everyone please keep yr fingers crossed and pray for me (if you are the praying type)…

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 than I was able to discuss the trouble of last week (which I am still dealing with). This incident comes as no surprise, nor is this particular thing of any great importance (unlike the thing from last week which was of great importance), but it is just annoying that when it rains - it pours! To whomever it was who put this curse on me, what will it take to have you lift it?! I’ll pay whatever price it is.
