TheSimpsons

Went to the Midnight show on Thursday night/Friday morning with Jewel, Buzzcut and my niece and nephew. We all had at least one item of Simpsons clothes on, with the kids of course being all decked out. I had a T-shirt on with shorts and Jewel found some Simpsons scrubs. We had a lava type lamp that we plugged into the van and left on the sunroof and the Simpsons theme blaring out the car through my IPod. We quickly abandoned the theme music and lamp as people were starting to show up to see the show. I expected a bit more enthusiasm, but there was none. We were the ONLY people that even had a Simpson's T-shirt on. There were however, three theatres completely full, well 85% full anyway.
Now on to the show!
It fucking rocked, as I knew it would. I laughed at least 30 times, from chuckles to full out grab your chest looking for air laughter. I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, but it boiled down to basically three kick-ass episodes combined to encompass the hour and a half movie. There was a plot, there were the standard drop-in comedy bits and the under the cuff comments that the Simpsons are famous for. There was also a thinly veiled political message. I may go see it again with Baby Jewel and I'm sure I'll buy it when it comes out on DVD, as I'm sure there were many things that were missed, as there was so much to view.
Anyway, make it a point this weekend to get your asses out there and view this flick!!!

The traveler

The Traveler is a new show on ABC that totally rocks! Jewel watched the first episode and made me watch it with her. She's since abandoned it, but I'm hooked. As it unfolds, it's starting to get good, replete with betrayal, corrupt government officials and asshole parents. It's definitely must see TV, but I doubt it's gonna be around long. Hopefully, I'll get some answers before it gets pulled.

I'm bad I'm nationwide

Yo YO Yo
What up my peeps? O.K. enough of that black shizit !
Been an interesting week, for sure. Filled my final open route at work, it's been open for a few months, but I wasn't really in a hurry to fill it as the extra income was nice and it gave fat bastard something to do. It's all right though, as we have lots of vacations scheduled in the next two weeks then the hatchet will swing at least once, maybe twice. Ahhhh the joys of the small business owner.
Yesterday I was bound and determined to get my outdoor speakers in my screen porch working and after some trials and tribulations got the feeds coming from the stereo in the living room tweeked just right. Both lines worked with some temporary speakers that I had set up. It sounded good and all was well. Overnight, a hellacious storm ripped through and we lost power. When we lost power, all that tweeking resorted back to factory settings. So, I went out bought new speakers(that in itself was a journey, went to three stores before I found a pair of decent cheap outdoor speakers),mounted them and .........nothing. FUCK! After swearing for what seemed like an hour and pissing off my wife I finally disconnected it for 5 minutes and voila! all is good again! It doesn't sound as good as I would like, so I'll probably add two more speakers, one on the deck and one in the yard by the ladder ball/baggo area.
Going to see Jimmy Buffet on Saturday. I'm looking forward to a good buzz. Don't expect any set lists or reviews, I'm not a fan.
Anywho.....peace out catch ya on the flipside!

You don't post enough

.....or so I have been told and I admit I was getting lax. Summer be catching up to me. I guess that's just the way it goes. Busier day in and day out which is good. I really seem to be enjoying myself this summer and unfortunately working hard. I have three brutal weeks coming up with having to cover people who are vacationing. Then I think it's time for me to vacation.
I'm going to see Jimmy Buffet this Saturday, replete with a tailgate party and then getting a room 5 minutes from the arena which is an hour and a half from the house. He was also playing at a venue 45 minutes from here next weekend, but I guess this worked out better for everyone's schedule, and as it turns out mine as well. I'm looking forward to it, but not because I'm a huge fan.... I'm not. It is however a good time as a group of like 16 of us are going and tailgaiting. Hell, I may just stay out in the parking lot and party. I was forwarded a set list and don't really seem to know one song on it. Maybe, I'll recognize them as I hear them. It seems that I know alot more songs than I actually know the names of, though I'm gettting better thanks to the display on my Sirius radio.
I will try to post more often!

I've joined the new millenium

OR some shit like that.
The kid did it. He took his graduation monies and purchased a new video Ipod and some cool dvd player that also lets you hook the video Ipod up to it. Pretty cool. That means of course, that I purchased his old Nano and exclusive use of his IPod Boom box for a mere $100 bucks. Actually, it was $140, but apparently I owed him $40. How the fuck could I owe HIM money? Hasn't he lived under my roof for some odd 14 years for free? When do I get that fucking investment back? How the hell do I owe HIM money? Fuck me!
Anyway, so I have this new fangled Nano thing a mabob and I'm downloading Itunes as we speak. The thought of having 4gig of music at my disposal turns me on. Maybe I'll play the Ipod in the bedroom tonight while I'm banging my wife. A little Barry White anyone? Speaking of music, do homos like Marvin Gaye? I mean with the last name and all, it just seems a natural fit. Though I don't see many faegalas hanging out in a grapevine, they may get their white pants and pink shirts dirty. Shit, where was I ..... Ah yes the Ipod. I'm excited by this, actually. Satellite radio is a far better alternative than testicular radio, no doubt. However, I still find myself hearing the same songs all the time. I figure the Ipod will give me some freedom to pop a song on when satellite gets lame. Plus I may not re-up next year. Howard's rarely on and with an Ipod on shuffle I'll get a better selection. So that may be the wave of the future, and why not? I have like 8,000 legitimately bought tunes on my laptop and I don't DJ at AKA any longer, so what the fuck else am I gonna do with them?
Welcome to 2001 BUZZ, can I get you some roller skates and a milkshake?

JUST FOR THE TASTE OF IT.....

I felt inclined to share this photo with you. A couple years back, it probably wouldn't have been a good idea. Now, I've mellowed and most of my internet enemies seem to have died with a certain message board. That suits me just fine.
Anyway, that was the four of us at the Taste Of Chicago, which was in itself OK. Not great and lots of hassle and cash just to sample a few different cuisines. First was the missed train, literally by 30 seconds, then the hour+ train ride, then the walking 30 minutes to the lake-shore with another couple and 6 kids, 2 of which (mine) were crabbing the whole time, the $80 in tickets and then all that same shit in reverse just to get home. Of course we could have left the kids at home and all went out and had a really good dinner for that kind of scratch and ended back at our place getting drunk. Ah well, next time.
Been getting lots of R&R time on the deck and actually getting my scooter out to ride and generally having a good summer, Albeit a busy one. Which is why my show on AKA is on hiatus and I probably won't pick it back up. The thrill is gone, it just aint fun anymore and who has 2 hours a week to kill? I've been having more fun reading these blogs, links to my favorites are on the side there and they're all good reads.
Hopefully, I'll find the time to write more often and to get the oft promised pics of my finished deck up here to see!

All's well that ends well

Well blow me....down auch gauch gauch gach geck geck. How the hell do you spell that sound that Popeye makes. For that matter where the hell can I see Popeye on TV anymore? Or Woody Woodpecker, or Magilla Gorilla, or any of the good ones. Now it's all powder puff girls and crap like that. There's nothing better than Woody Woodpecker fighting over that arabian chick with the old Buzzard, just to undo the veil and find she's an ugly chick. The key even fell into a hooka and they had to smoke it out, and their eyes got red, now THAT'S quality entertainment.
I'm tired, but I'm sure that too will pass.
The deck is complete and we had a rip-roaring party on Saturday to "break it in". We even kicked the kids outta the pool for an hour for adult swim. Every one seemed to be at their wackiest, except of course for the fag who didn't make it cause "uhhhh I gotta work early and I'm too gay to come up to your place after that". Okay, it's not an exact quote, but that was the gist of it. His loss. I even brought out my 200 watt P.A. speakers and the amp to pipe in some quality hits from Sirius' BUZZsaw. I know they named that channel after me. I started out with a stereo and the music being tuned to Classic Rewind, but as the day and drinks progressed, the shin-dig just required really kick-ass tunes as loud as humanly possible. None of the neighbors called the cops and the girl from behind us sent a message from her Dad to turn it up even louder when Van Halen tunes came on. He wasn't disappointed as BUZZsaw kicks their tunes out at least once every hour or two. Anyone who hasn't gotten Sirius yet, is missing out.
The party was disguised as a graduation party for BUZZcut. The kid raked in the cash, and if you want to send him more, please do so. He's contemplating getting a video I-Pod, and I offered to give him $100 for the one we gave him for Christmas of 05. How the hell did that happen? I already paid for it once, now I gotta buy it back? I fucking love being a Dad. anyway, I wanna do it, but I have tons of music in MP3 format already. Do I have to convert it to Itunes? Or can I only use tunes downloaded from Itunes? Seems like a lot of hassle. When I turn on Sirius, it just goes.
The wife and some friends are going to Taste of Chicano on Thursday, don't know if I wana go or not. Too many fucking people.

Well, that will give you something to read fr awhile!
Have a good 4th!
