With all the debate and news going around about the Confederate flag, I've wanted to say something about my own sigtuation. Hell, i think there are some that kinda expected me to do so, but I was truly torn about what I felt and wanted to do. On that discussion, I read a post on FB from a black farmer, the short version of was this: coming up to ( Read more... )

I noticed a FB post from the Cheerwine guys talking about new places they were about to make sure it was sold, etc., and asked for comments about how it tasted. The first 10 would get a hoodie. Now, this was a an hour or more after the fact, but I sent them my thoughts...

So, with the lawnmower fixed, I needed to get back to the yard. A good three weeks had gone by without being able to cut it, and it was starting to go back to nature. Side and front, i did earlier in the week. Last night, I got out there after the sun started to drop to do the back. Ended up taking twice as long as I thought it would, and I had ( Read more... )

Yesterday was one of the best days we've had in a while. The fact that it caps off a few days of things going well is nice, too. Yesterday, though, everything just seemed to go right. Deciding to run out into heavy rain and splash at each other for a while was the best, though. Seriously, there's nothing finer than playing in the rain, and ( Read more... )

Have I mentioned lately how amazingly happy numerauko makes me? Every time we talk, something new comes up where we are perfectly compatible. She makes my days worth waking up to, and she makes my life worth living ( Read more... )

An easy morning. A damn good start to the new game. Air conditioning in the heat. A good pizza for dinner. A long phone convo with Jessica. The temperature is dropping enough to open the windows and air out the house. Di's out at a CD release party for a band she likes (Angry Oorts, for those interested). Gonna grab my book and go kick back ( Read more... )

Wow, blast from the past. Poking around in old document files, I found a bunch of songs I wrote long, long ago. I wouldn't say most of them are that good, but they did bring back some memories. At least one of them was one my old band in Memphis was working on when I left (I don't think we ever actually performed it). There's also the one I ( Read more... )

Rehearsal went well, but that was secondary.

During a break, daemonwise, matrixleap and myself ended up in the front yard and the street, tossing a frisbee around. That was fun, but there were a bunch of kids playing in the yard next door. One of them came in our direction, and joined in. That got the rest of them interested...before we really knew it, there were ( Read more... )

I can NOT stop listening to this track. Good god, this is one of the catchiest, bounciest, danciest tracks I've snagged in a while. Makes me miss raves, and makes me miss setting up playlists for small dance DJ'ing ( Read more... )

Spent a huge chunk of last week hanging out with daemonwise, and a large part of that ended up being spent playing Rock Band 2. I haven't had as much chance before to really check the song list. As we were rolling along Friday, Mike suggests we play "Green Grass and High Tides" by The Outlaws. it actually took me a few minutes for the song to click...it ( Read more... )
