I'm leading in the asshole poll!

I'd just like to thank everyone that's voted for me in the asshole poll over at Mark's site. It's really overwhelming to be recognized like this. And so I'd like to give a heartfelt go screw yourselves! : )

Oh boy, the NHL is back. : |

As some know, my favorite sport is hockey. I play it (poorly), I watch it whenever I can (evidenced by me watching the NCAA Frozen Four tournament every year) and go to a lot of games (Coyotes season tickets since '97, plus went to two back east during vacations this past year). I'm one of those die-hard fans the NHL is counting on to come back. And I will, but not like before. I'm pretty irritated, by both the players and owners. They sat around doing nothing until December, then nothing again for a month, then met like crazy, with no deal, then a hint of a deal, then a cancelled season, then a last ditch effort for a deal, then nothing. Then they waited until about the end of what would have been the season to talk, and now there's a deal, which has pretty much everything the players said they would never cave to. So all of this whining and bitching, just to end up here. That's what pisses me off, a season was bascially lost for no real good reason other than stupidity and obstinance. Thanks. The all-star games is supposed to be here in Phoenix this year, but it may get cancelled since they're going to play in the Winter Olympics. That's actually not so bad because if you haven't been out to the sprawling Westgate development lately, here's what's there. 1 Arena, complete; 1 stadium, incomplete; 6 parking lots; dirt, dirt and more dirt. That'll make a great showcase environment for the fan fest and the broadcast, not that anyone will be watching anyway. It's sad that ESPN can show poker and get better ratings than with hockey (personally, I'd rather watch an hour of grass growing, in real-time, than poker, or golf for that matter). NBC has a network deal that they got for free, they just will share revenues with the NHL if there's any profit. So I'm sure that the NHL will cash a check for somewhere around $15 after NBC shows a whopping 7 regular season games and 2-5 games of the Stanley Cup Finals. I guess they have too much arena football to show. Anyway, as Dennis Miller ends his rants, so will I: Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

A-S-S-H-O-L-E, Everybody!!! A-S-S-H-O-L-E!!

And people think I'm a nice guy. HA, HA I say, HA!!!!

Thanks to Rich who stole it from this person 3T for the test. On second thought, nah!!!

I am 84% Asshole/Bitch.

I am one of those people that love to hear the sound of their voice. That and my lousy attitude make for a mixture as toxic next-day-mexican-
dinner-ass-drip.

Another performance

I did another set on Saturday night before the band came on. I only did five songs this time and had a friend of mine sing a song. She's got a great voice and everyone in the bar was impressed, then I came back to sing the last two, and they were like "oh, you, great : | " Ok, not that bad, but it's hard for me to follow that up. For those who couldn't attend, I did these:

Rockin' in the Free World - Neil Young
I Am the Highway - Audioslave
Criminal - Fiona Apple (sung by my friend)
Black - Pearl Jam
It's The End of the World... - R.E.M.

Quotes

I added a couple of quotes to my header. One's from Frank Zappa, who never failed to have something to say about this screwed up world we live in. The second is unknown, but speaks volumes. The last one is from me. Some people think I mean that I and a select few get to live. Nope, everyone. Leave the planet to the fish, birds, bears, dogs, frogs, etc... People pretty much always screw stuff up so maybe it's time to go.

Brilliant!!

Brilliant move of the week: I left my garage door open last night, plus the light was on to assist any would be "borrowers" and not to mention the door that goes into the house was unlocked. Oh, and my car was unlocked as well. Dumbass! Fortunately (surprisingly), nothing was taken. It was probably open from about 9PM last night when I went to take the trash out. I only do this about once every eight years so any thieves, get ready in 2013.

My solo debut

On Thursday night, I played an "opening" set of 7 songs, solo and acoustic, before the band that I do sound for came on. This was the first time I've ever played anything more than one song by myself in front of anyone other than a few friends (so if you're wondering why I didn't mention it, that's why). I did OK, for my first time, I guess. I totally screwed up on the first song and like the gibson ad says "No distortion to cover your ass" is true! I improved each one, getting a bit more comfortable with each song. I didn't do so bad, because they're going to let me do it again. So now I have to figure at least 3 new songs to do. I think I have an idea.
Here's the ones I did:

Fell in Love With A Girl –The White Stripes
…baby one more time –Britney Spears
How to Fight Loneliness - Wilco
Black – Pearl Jam
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing – Jack Johnson
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town – Pearl Jam
It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) – R.E.M.
