boobies, radio and snow
Current mood: curious
I've been quiet lately. I guess that's saying something in that I'm a pretty reserved and soft-spoken fellow the majority of the time. Do you ever get tired of talking? Do you stop and notice your own speech patterns? Do you notice the things you say, popular phrases, favorite words? I do, and sometimes I really get sick of how I talk or how other people talk to me. Everything seems so redundant. Of course when you meet new people, everything is new. When someone you've never met says something you've heard many times before it's not the same is it? A new person equals a new perspective. So how do you meet new people when you don't have anything to say? That my friends is a very good question.
On Tuesday night I went to the Suicide Girls Burlesque show at the Icon. For the record I am a member of that site and for those of you reading this on SG, this line may be weird. I've met a lot of interesting people on SG. Some of them are friends of mine on myspace too. Also for the record I do like to look at naked women. When I was a teenager I used to want to be a Playboy photographer. Yes, I know so did a lot of teenage boys, but really I did. But I can't read that Playboy or that Penthouse crap. The women are phony. This is true especially with playboy. In the last five years how many of the 60 playmates have been brunettes with real body parts? I can't tell you because I wouldn't know but I'd guess maybe 5. The people on SG are open minded and generally are real people. The models are the same. They are real women with real bodies and real imperfections. I'm not naive to think there is no airbrushing on their site, but compared to the mannequins on the more popular sites/magazines it's not even noticeable.
The burlesque show was different than I expected. The girls were all nice dancers and I'm not just saying that. It wasn't like there were 8 strippers on stage, although in some respect that is true. The girls danced and danced well. They performed little onstage vignettes and showed a lot of personality. Also I had the chance to experience Tsu Shi Ma Mi Rae, a fine Japanese female rock n roll trio. Going out was a step for me as I never go anywhere unless it's with a few friends. But of course I didn't speak at all to anyone other than a single friend there. There were a lot of pretty women and suicide girls there. It was overwhelming for a silly recluse like me. I bought a Tsu Shi Ma Mi Rae CD though and the drummer and bass player both bowed to me and thanked me and I said; "no no thank you!" It was one of those cute moments and at least it got me talking. I've been talking more ever since.
I'm really happy I'm going to be part of a pickup football game Sunday morning. I haven't played a football game in 7 or 8 years I think. I still can throw alright and I can catch in my sleep (I have great hands), but my stamina and the running well we'll see. But since we are all old people playing a kid's game we are gonna play 2-hand touch instead of tackle. That'll probably buy us an extra 10-15 minutes of stamina. Hopefully the weather won't be too ghastly. It was in the mid 60's yesterday, warm and nice albeit a little rainy but today today is like this:
It's the first snow of the season. I love the first snow of the season. That's why I had to grab my camera and run outside of work for a second to snap that picture. I think I even like the 2nd snow and the 3rd. But it's the 28th and so on that gets on my nerves a bit.
One more piece of news for now. I'm really missing doing radio. I don't know why after being gone for over 3 years I'd start to miss it now, but I do. So I got to talking with a friend of mine who can help me return to the air. But the airwaves are flooded with radio consultants, preselected, preapproved, prescreened playlists and too many commercials. So where can I do a show where I control everything? Where I can pick the songs on the fly and say what I want to say? That's right folks, the internet. Over the next few weeks, hopefully sooner than that, I'm going to try to put together a radio show for broadcast on the net. I don't know how long it will be (2-3 hours?), but I want to try to do a new show every week broadcasting from my study. Just below the much ballyhooed ninja pirate on the coolness barometer is the often overlooked radio pirate. I am hoping to be a pirate again soon. I'll have more details in the days and weeks to come, but I know I have the ammunition (600-700 CDs); all I need is the gun.
Oh and go say hi to my radio alter ego Crazy Eddie. He's a wacky dude.
that's all I have for now, take care everyone
