Jesus. I really don't have anything to say. I'm just posting a picture of my new puppy (see below; she's awesome), which AJ suggested I do. And joedaddy suggested I write something...sort of, but not really. Doesn't matter.
It's windy here. Tempe. Pronounce it how you like. The Diamondbacks still beat the Dodgers, John, you miserable curmudgeon. I was going to say cunt, but I didn't, because I'm a nice guy. There was a short time there that I thought John, my ex-boss, was a member of the Ubersite community. I thought he was Odin. For a short while. But I'm imbued with conspiratorial tendencies, which is pathetic, but a sun flare is going to fry the world within the next five years. I don't really believe that. I heard it last night on Coast to Coast - a hoot of a show. I say "hoot" sometimes. That's kind of hillbillyish. I knew a guy from Tennessee who said "hoot" a lot. That old hippie introduced me to John Prine and Jerry Jeff Walker with one "mix" cassette. It was a strange gift. I didn't know the guy very well, and I listened mainly to Led-Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, AC-DC, etc. (you know the roll call), but out of nowhere he said, "Here, listen to this. You're good people." I actually made up that dialog, because I can't remember what he really said. This was nearly 20 years ago. Anyway, with that one unexpected gift, he changed my life.
I saw him a while back, in Salt Lake City of all places, and he was pretty miserable. He was depressed after leaving his girlfriend and his newborn child, I guess. I don't know. Something like that. Another woman was involved, I guess. Life is hard, all around, maybe. Looking back, I wish I could have been a better friend, but I was there to present a paper and then just get drunk for a few days. I did. Selfish. We weren't and aren't close friends, but I damn sure should have gotten drunk with him. The old hillbilly-hippie. Good guy. I suppose I should look him up. At least email him and say thanks for the Prine.
I had the truck today. I don't usually get the truck. My wife usually drives me to work, after we take the kid to school. I'm not rich. We just have the one truck. It's a nice truck. A Toyota Tacoma. 2003. After my Nissan, I swore I'd never buy anything except a Nissan, but my wife picked out the Toyota, and somehow got my name on the lease without signing shit. She does that. She's evil. But the Tacoma's a good truck, and now I may never buy anything but a Toyota, because I like it, but I guess it's up to my wife, who is evil.
Anyway, my favored "alternative" radio station, which plays mainly mainstream crap, discontinued the Adam Corola show, which was only moderately entertaining to begin with, was playing mainstream crap, so I started digging around in the glove box for a cd to listen to. I found a Jackson 5 cd that belongs to my wife, who has terrible taste in music, and a Chicken Little soundtrack cd that belongs to my daughter, who has even worse taste in music, especially since she has developed, of late, an inexplicable and unforgivable, taste in modern "country" music, which is nothing of the sort. That is, it's not Country; it might be modern, but it's not Country. Marty Robbins is Country. This modern shit is NASCAR, which is the stupidest "sport" since pole vaulting, which is something I actually did in high school. I topped 10 ½ feet as a Freshman, and then I realized it was a stupid sport. Shut up. You never pole vaulted 10 ½ feet. I won a track meet, goddammit. I think Mom has photos.
Oh yeah...so I found an old cassette that I had made in 1996. Why I remember when this made is another uninteresting story with which I could bore you with some day. I had listened to it a few years ago, and it had sat in the bottom of the glove box ever since.
I put it in. The first bit I heard was the last few seconds of "Thirsty Dog" by Nick Cave. I thought, "Holy shit. I'm awesome."
The second song was "Cold Wind to Valhalla" by Jethro Tull and I thought, "Not only am I awesome, but I could write about this on Uber later and FG will think I'm awesome."
The third song was a song from The Who's Quadraphenia. I can't remember the name, but it starts, "You declared you would be three inches taller, but you only became what we made you." And then I though, "Holy fucking shit, I'm the awesomest person ever."
The fourth song was the Jeff Beck Group. Enough said. I'm fucking awesome. And I was awesome in 1996, apparently.
I wish I had something interesting to say, but I don't.
God damn. I just read this shit. Sorry.

Just because she's a vegetarian? That's a bit shallow, isn't it?

Lungfish, you are probably one of my favorite people here. I loved the first paragraph, and the bit where you talk shit on "modern country music" calling it NASCAR. so fucking true. i like willie nelson myself, and i don't know if he is exactly country, but tennesse ernie ford is pretty freakin great.

i like to drink as much as the next person, but talking about drinking is boring.
you might be awesome irl, i have no idea.
i just meant that the whole 'i'm awesome' thing is overdone. once something is common i find it less interesting, i guess.
enjoy your steak, though.
i'm a vegetarian.
except for the sausage, of course.

Are you suggesting that I am not, indeed, awesome? I don't get it. I had a beer for breakfast, and one more for desert. And now I'm going to grill a steak. And I'm going to put Worcestershire sauce on it. Fucking awesome.

that thing guys do with telling everyone how awesome they are really isn't all that awesome.
it's kind of boring.
like this blog.
your puppy is really cute, though.
which isn't awesome because lots of people have cute puppies.
if everyone who said they were awesome actually were, that would really be something.
awesome, maybe.
i saw nice cave last year in ny.
which was awesome.

Good review, Phallic.
I really should have whiskey when and if I post again. I only had beer, and I can't get drunk on beer alone anymore, it seems, which is sad. Still, go D'backs.

I'm not going to try to come up with something witty to say in this review. I'm tired, and on good days I'm not that witty anyways.
I do wish you'd post more though.

The second song was "Cold Wind to Valhalla" by Jethro Tull and I thought, "Not only am I awesome, but I could write about this on Uber later and FG will think I'm awesome."
=======
Ah yes, "Cold Wind to Valhalla" off the Minstrel in the Gallery album. An ok song. Not my favorite off that album. I like "Requiem" and "One White Duck/Nothing at all." But you can't go wrong singing about Valkyries 'n stuff.
Point of it is, it's Tull. I already think you're awesome. Knowing that you enjoy some occasional Tull as well just sweetens the deal.

On this post, I stood in the middle of my room and made that blackpower salute those two black dudes did in that famous Olympic photo where the bronze medallist happened to be Aussie.
The idea behind it, lungfish, was that it would confer some sort of magical power upon you expressed purely by my force of will and the number of beers i've had tonight.
Good luck, man, and if you desperately need company for some drug abuse I can maybe scrape together some plane ticket money in the next few months.
Of course, I have no idea what the male brain does when a wife gets stuck in it, but I figure we could all use some extra magical powers at some point.
Be everything.
