OH MY GOD!!!! IT'S AN UPDATE!!!!!

No way, really, could it be. Did I actually just sit down and start typing. Yes, I believe it could be, it's an update. Of course it's kind of sad (to me at least) that my life can be summed as this: watch sports, play hockey, work, sleep-but not enough, concert, rinse, repeat. I had some grand plans for this space, I was going to use it as a political sounding board, spout my opinion on society, give reviews of various popular arts (music & movies), or become a poet and have something really poignant to say. Ok, I guess not. My mind moves in a complete spew of unintelligible subjects that go and twist and change. I can do something coherent, but that takes and effort, and frankly, recently all I've wanted to do was sleep. I still have some plans, though. I'm going to try to do a solo act, acoustic guitar and me. I figure this would be a good place to list some of the songs that I'm working on, all covers of course. I have found that I'm not really poetic/lyrical. Well there was this shining example of prose:

I like beer
I like chips
Get them here
All at Skip's

Yeah, I think it sucks too.

I actually have a notebook of various lines, most of them better than that last part, such as:

Now my disease awakens my soul
Blissfully stricken I'm under control

It might be about drugs. Or maybe love, or a good blow job, I'm not really sure. That was a year ago I came up with that and never did anything else with it. I have tons of stuff like that. Turns out, I really like the word soul, it means something and rhymes with a lot of other words.

Here's some more crap:

Empty Lot filled with morning sky
The Birds come down to rest
Something comes this way and away the fly
Searching for somewhere to rest

or

I'm stuck with a useless ticket
Nothing more than an expensive bookmark
Should I throw it away or keep it
Doesn't matter, the building went dark.

Ok, enough of my poetry. What else? Oh, I've gone through my annual spring peaking of desires. That's where I really want to ask someone out. (I have always been, still am, and always will be single) It's not that I don't want to try, I don't want to try because I know I'll fail. Last year, it got the better of me and I did try after 8 1/2 years. I was trying to hit ten. Almost did it again this year, but I talked myself out of it. All for the best. People say you shouldn't date someone you work with, and while I don't work with her, she's in the company. Second, for you astrologers out there, I'm a scorpio, she's a leo, I think, and those don't go well togther from what I've read. And finally, she wouldn't have said yes anyway, she's out of my league.

I think that's it for now. I still need a band. It's been a year since the last one and I'd really like to do it again, someday. Also on the music front, new Pearl Jam: 10, new Tool: 8.5, new Wolfmother (trio from Australia): not sure, I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but the first 4 are good, reminiscent of '70s rock, like Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin. Oh, and Sirius kicks serious ass. The sound quality is a bit lacking, like a heavily compressed mp3, but the content is so good, I mean sooooo good, I'm keeping it. The music channels blow away anything I've heard in any city.

Signing off...(for today, I'll be back, and sooner than 5 months)
