Old 97's was awesome
I showed up way too early because my sister said there was a lot of construction and as usual, she was wrong. When I pulled up in front of the Cain’s, Rhett Miller and Ken Bethea were walking up the sidewalk. I said hey to them before they went inside. It was an odd wait outside. The Cain’s Ballroom is a historic landmark in a bad part of town. It’s one of only four venues the...

Chocolate or vanilla? Depends. If I had to pick an ice cream, then vanilla, cause I can add whatever to it to make it what I want. Ask me a question. Tell me a secret.

Got my new laptop...
but won’t have Internet at home until the 12th. Heading to Tulsa tomorrow night to see the Old 97s. Hoping the last of this cold is history by then.

Today
I stayed home sick from work. Got a haircut. Bought a ticket to see Old 97’s on Saturday. Am in the process of proofing my best friend’s short story collection that just got picked up. I’m still sick though. It’ll be another NyQuil night.

Why don’t you answer when I call you? No one ever calls me. Seeing as it’s Sunday. If Jesus Christ himself was standing, sitting, lounging or making floral arrangements with you right now this very minute, what would you ask him? “Was it worth all of this?” Do you believe humans and dinosaurs walked the Earth at the...

jmarie3: 1980: You know what fake is?.  Fake is silicone breast implants, not people.  People are liars, not fake. (I was asked today if mine were fake, I get asked all the time, and I’m not sure why. They’re real!)  Me, too, Jusy. Mine don’t even look fake! Wait, what?

Who is your all-time NBA starting 5? All-time? Hmm… Well, there are some obvious answers, but MY 5 probably wouldn’t be the typical “all-time greats.” PG: Chris Paul (I know most would say Magic, but I love CP3s game.) SG: Jordan. Not really another option there. SF: Kevin Durant. I assure you, he will go down as an all-time great. PF: Dennis Rodman....

As a fellow Bukowski fan I will admit that For Jane: With All the Love I Had, Which Was Not Enough: always chokes me up. Which poem by Buk do you feel the most? Not to pin it down to one, but I’ve read the volumes that were published posthumously, and you can tell they were written by a man who knew he was dying. That always gets to me. Ask me a question. Tell me a...

The Catcher In The Rye: amazing or incredibly overrated? I think it’s a classic. Of course, anytime anything is held in such high regard, it runs the risk of being overrated. Who’s your favorite author and what is your favorite novel? My favorite novel is Catch-22. Favorite writers are as follows: Novels: Kurt Vonnegut Short Stories: Raymond...

You win a prize and you have to choose between either 12 months in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2000 or 10 minutes on the moon. Which one do you go for? What the fuck would I do on the moon?
