She drove a big ol' Lincoln with suicide doors
And a sewing machine in the back
And a light bulb that looked like an alligator egg
Was mounted up front on the hood
And she had an Easter bonnet that had been signed by Tennessee Ernie Ford
And she always had saw dust in her hair
And she cut two holes in the back of her dress
and she had these scapular wings
That were covered with feathers and electrical tape
And when she got good and drunk
She would sing about Elkheart, Indiana
Where the wind is strong and folks mind their own business
And she had at least a hundred old baseballs that she'd taken from kids
And she collected bones of all kinds
And she lived in a trailer under a bridge
And she made her own whiskey and gave cigarettes to kids
And she'd been struck by lightning seven or eight times
And she hated the mention of rain
And she made up her own language
And she wore rubber boots
And she could fix anything with string
And her lips were like cherries
And she was stronger than any man
And she smelled like gasoline and Rootbeer Fizz
And she put mud on a bee sting I got at the creek
And she gave me my very first kiss
And she gave me my very first kiss

I know all you SG peeps love the tattoos...Me too, ah'ight...But seriously...What do you all think about guys with ankle tattoos?
Lovin' the new ladies SGland...The names are crazier than ever, but the ladies are quite swell...
I think I have mixed feelings about this new SG format...Many improvments, but am I outta' line to say that sometimes, less is more?
Hello to all my peeps out there in whitebreadland...I don't get on here too much anymore...Maybe I've sorta phazed out the site I once frequented on a somewhat regular basis...Blog updates are few and far between it seems...
Well, in a nutshell here's the update on me...
Haven't smoked cigarettes or pot in a week now...Had a shot or two of Jameson in that time but even my drinking, which never really was all that much, has subsided as well...Am I goin' straight edged? I dunno about that, but for now I've been transforming...Discovered yoga and six weeks in, it's changed my life....Lost about 26-30 lbs in that time...Lots of water, eating more sensibly I reckon...On Mondays I coach softball for the Special Olympics...It's actually a blast...Some of those fuckers can really hit....I think there's a tournament somewhere down the line, but for now it's just all fielding and batting practice...I've been disappointed with nearly every movie I've seen this year, except as I might've mentioned "The Proposition"....Good stuff...There's a Leonard Coen documentary out that I'd like to see....New music I'd recommend Nick Cave's Abbatoir Blues/ The Lyre of Orpheus...Not really new to the world, but new to me....I love it....It's my new fav cd...Ry Cooder's Chavez Ravine is pretty cool too.....Check 'em out when you get a chance....
Anyway, just trying to take part...I hope all is well with your and yours....
Yabba Dabba Adieu,

For lack of a better update...the following is 100% accurate, and in absolutely no order of importance...What you are about to witness is simply a rant...
I believe in ghosts, Bigfoot, and miracles...
My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip, and just because it's green, that don't make it better...
The first time I ever went up in a plane, I jumped right the @$% out of it...
It was amazing, but I doubt I'd ever do it again...Never really took to heights...
I love the snow in movies and the sound that a guitar makes as the finger squeaks across the string...
I'm definitely a democrat, but unfortunately have to force myself to be interested in politics...
I once drove all night from L.A. to San Francisco just to have breakfast on the Golden Gate Bridge, then get in the car and drive right back...
I haven't been in a fist fight since junior high...
I once fell in love with a practicing witch...
I think that one day in the near future, all five original Spice Girls will reunite and go on a worldwide tour...
I hate snakes, but I don't mind spiders...
Some people have said I remind them of Jack Black, others have said Phillip Seymore Hoffman, athough I've always felt I identified most with Charlie Brown...
I cried the day John Candy died...
I once won an award for preaching to a congregation of baptist ministers...
Ultimately I believe absolutely nothing happens for a reason, but I do find believing in "signs" a far more enjoyable way to live...
At times, I can be incredibly passive aggressive...
I've only broken one heart in my lifetime...
Although General Tsao chicken would certainly be my death row meal, I'll pretty much eat anything, except beets...
Oh, and I'm no fan of brussel sprouts either...
I think the Incredible Hulk is cool because he gets stronger the more you @$% with him...
I can walk on my hands for a short distance...
I never chew gum...
At least three people I have met my lifetime claim I'm the funniest person that they have ever met, and so far nearly every girl I have dated has claimed I'm "an amazing kisser"...
I hardly ever kiss on the first date...
My favorite colors are blue and gray...Although, lately I've been diggin' brown...
I hate working on Sundays and aim to never do so again...
I prefer Paul McCartney's solo efforts over John Lennon's, but my favorite Beatles' songs are "Girl" and "Here Comes the Sun"...
I can be ridiculously romantic when inspired...
You can call me an @sshole all day, but for some reason I really hate being called a jerk...
I have a fantasy of running off to work on a fishing boat...
I wouldn't mind having my own garden...
I like candles, and think I may be addicted to Nag Champa...
My favorite baseball team is the NY Mets, although I can't really wax on about baseball...
I started playing guitar at thirty-one, after buying the Grateful Dead's, "American Beauty"...I had owned the guitar ten years prior...
I'd like to live in Ireland for a year, and would like to spend Christmas in Hawaii at least once before I die...
I hope to one day be commissioned to write a Muppet movie...
I onced owned a Yugo...
The first time I ever had sex was in the back of my parents' station wagon at the state fair... Yes, there were fireworks...
Good day to all --

You know...this whole air-brushing thing....I totally understand...Great, do a little doctoring...I get it...
But get someone who knows what the hell they're doin'...The fucking trick is to NOT KNOW it's been doctored...
They just seem to look more and more obvious and I dunno...That's just lame...Distractiing even....
Tighten up SG "artists"...

I must admitt that many of these new sets doeth please me...I'm still not opposed to some of the ol' vets coming outta' hidin' and doin' that thing they do...
Hey everybody...Don't forget to say "hello" to toothpickmoe...I here that guys the shit...
