I should be better about posting here, though I don't know that anybody cares! Got another tattoo since my last post and just went back last week and got it colored. Most likely schedule a time in November for my next session, though I haven't decided what to get. Plenty of time to figure that out.

Got a couple more guitar amps since my last utterance here as well. Now I need a good distortion amp. Still want a Marshall, but have been looking at Orange as well.

After a couple of years of singledom I've decided that I would like to keep it that way for the time being. I'm really starting to enjoy the freedom it affords me to do whatever I want in my free time and have nobody to give me hangups. Finding that I still have some things to settle into myself before I'm able to support the emotion that comes into being in a relationship. Not quite there.

Oh... and I've reached my 30th trip around the sun.

Anyways, if anybody gives a damn, I'll try and post more often...

Acquired yet another guitar the other day. That brings me up to five total guitars. Got this one for a steal! The ex owed me money from taxes, and she suggested I take the guitar in place of the money which I was happy to oblige as the guitar would have cost me twice what she owed me had I bought it elsewhere! Score for me!

Winter is killing me! I'm in desperate need of warm sunshine and all the activities that come along with it! Someone, someplace warm... send me a one way ticket and I'll come join you there!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. When does life make sense? That's all I've got at the moment. Hope that's enough for ya's.

Clean sheets are the bomb and got a new bedding set today to replace that tired ass old denim thing that the ex mother in law made so that will be on it's way back to the ex's residence after a thorough laundering.

On a personal sad note today, these two handsome brothers are Dozer and Rocky.



Dozer, the fine reverse brindle fella, has been gone now for near upon three years and Rocky, the brindle, is now gone as of today! They both developed hip displacia to the point they could no longer walk without falling all over the place. I had me a good cry today over it! I hate this part of having dogs!

Boxer's in particular have been an unlucky breed for me. Before these two I had Tuff and he passed at the age of five to an apparent heart condition. That one was really hard for me to take. He was the best dog! I don't think I ever really allowed myself to get as close to these two because of how hard I took Tuff's going. I do regret that, but I believe it to be the case.

Tuff used to curl up in the covers of my bed when I was gone to work and would get angry if you tried to move him! He'd also lower down onto his front paws with his hind quarters still in the air and stare at you as he backed clear down the hallways well out of sight of you and then moments later he'd pounce out into the room and throw himself at you! I miss that dog, what a personality!

Thanks for reading,

Cheers!

So yeah. Feeling pretty awesome as of late and I'm not sure why, but who cares as long as it maintains! Get Christmas through New Years off of work and it's coming on fast, FUCK yes! What am I going to do you ask? Not a damn thing... Maybe I'll finally hit the mountain on my snow plank! Getting cabin fever a little with the winter in swing. Need to escape to the outside elements.

Having thoughts of new tattoos and just might have the money come 2011! It's been too many months and I technically still need to decide what to do to finish the last one, but I want more work done down my arm. Decisions...

Feeling my broken heartedness float to the surface a little strong today. I'm starting to have a strong feeling that this never goes away. Hopefully I can smother it with another heartbreak someday! With my antisocial way of being the thought occurred to me today that I wish I could at least have more opportunities for heartbreak instead of this insipid loneliness day in and day out!

Any girls out there want to come break my heart? This old heartbreak's getting old, time for an update!

I'll leave ya's with another shot of my relief from this feeling! Back to fingering her neck in all the right places!

I just came home from the guitar store with a brand new Les Paul!! I now have that excited, giddy, but sick to my stomach feeling because I just spent a lot of money on a guitar! Priciest guitar I own so far.

Next I want an acoustic electric. Can't decide between Taylor, Gibson, and Martin though. My standard acoustic is a Martin and I really like it, but playing different models between the three I can't decide. I thought I was leaning towards Taylor, but I played a Martin today that I really liked. Oh well, it will be some time before I make that investment.

I have a sickness! Some people smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, or do drugs... I buy expensive guitars and wish my skills did them justice!

Ahhhh... I realize the length of time that has passed since updating here! I'll post something soon perhaps, but I'm still alive and breathing... as of this writing anyways!

A couple tidbits... Caught Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax a couple weeks ago. Good show! Caught Social D the week before. Good show! Still have the BLS and Clutch show coming up in a couple weeks or so. Guaranteed to be a good show!

See you all under the stage lights...

Okay... So it's been awhile since I've had anything to say on here. A month and a half or so, take a few days. So, what have I been up to? The timeline may be a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure that since the last time I put my fingers to keys here I've been harassed by a camp ground owner for drinking in the middle of the highway, resulting in him calling the police and then lying about what happened to the police and then changing his story with every telling for the rest of the weekend. Mormons? What are you going to do?

I got the sunburn from hell a few weeks ago and the peeling is just now abating, but that weekend resulted in fine times for all involved.

Attended a show by The Reverend Horton Heat a couple weeks ago as well. The Rev always puts on a good (and cheap at $5) show here in town.

Went to the Harley Nitro National drag races a weekend past. Also good times and I managed to sport a little money from my friends pocket in betting on the individual drags. The kiddos had a grand time as well and that always pleases me.

Walk away from this past weekend as beer pong champion after the defending champions were dethroned by a pair of ladies, who my brother and I, thereafter, quickly banished from the table.

Upcoming we have a potential camp trip up East Canyon followed on Sunday by a monster truck event that my boy has been hassling me about since a year past. Should be a fine weekend!

Up and coming notable concerts in my neck of the woods are: BB King and Buddy Guy, John Mayer (who is a douche to the core, but plays the shit out of that guitar live!), Social D, Black Label and Clutch together, Street Dogs, Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper together, Bob Dylan, and a few other small shows here and there. It's been a decent year for good acts rolling through town.

Cheers and here's to you and I all having a good time in the time we have left in this world and what follows!

I am what I am... Love it... Leave it... Love me, hate me, adore me, despise me, worship me, pity me... I ask for none of it... Accept it, refuse it... I have something to offer... Have patience or lose out... Dig deeper, you might find something of value... Stick to the shallows and your judgment will be worth the depth you reach into... My potential is vast to the point of being interminable... Life is effort as is obtaining anything worthwhile... Friendships, relationships, goals, ambitions, careers, and again life... We become what we think only if our motives are genuine and sincere... Stop fooling yourself!
