SITTING ON WAIT...........

Baby Aidan arrives in a little less than a month and a half........many preparations have already been made........still more to make.......but in large part, we are in wait mode.......and waiting gives one lots of time to think......think,think,think as WINNIE THE POOH would say........lots of thinks on my mind today.........lots of thinks............

i'm thinking alot about SYD BARRETT who's just passed away........for those who don't know(which who doesn't), SYD was a founding member of PINK FLOYD.......the short version of his story is that he went completely off his id(no doubt aided by the consumption of lots of psychedelic drugs) and didn't get to be in PINK FLOYD anymore......SYD's standing on stage in a catatonic state surely strained relations with his bandmates.........that said, i've always admired his music......not because it offered a window into the mind of an insane person..........but because of the way it conveyed a blended(for lack of a better word) message........his lyrics were very child-like......sing songy...........mother goosish.........and as disarming as that sounds, his music managed to be frightening at the same time........... i always thought that SYD seemed like a very sweet person trapped in a very frightening place..........R.I.P. SYD BARRETT.......

i'm also thinking about the band i share with the very pregnant love of my life,TRACY........JOE GRAVES AND THE DIRTY LEFT HAND.............we have a show friday night.........it's at the all ages place here in Augusta, SECTOR 7G...........i always feel kinda funny playing the all ages clubs.........hanging out with a buncha kids my son's age is not something i choose to do voluntarily......oh well............we are sharing the bill with THE EMOTRON.........maybe he'll set his penis on fire again..........one can only hope............

i'm thinking about legislation before congress as we speak to make online gambling illegal..........yet another attempt to legislate morality by our government.........again, no regard for personal responsibility.......personal accountability...........i don't need to US govt. to protect me from gambling my house away...........i can do that on my own......

i'm thinking about football season and how it can't get here fast enough.........to think, i actually sat on the couch watching WIMBLEDON tennis sunday.........good grief..........this upcoming season in the NFL looks to be exceptionally competitive.......especially in the NFC SOUTH........CAROLINA looks pretty mean............but i think my FALCONS will at least sneak into the playoffs on a wildcard.........i'm a firm believer that the FALCONS will surprise folks this year........great off season moves while remaining under the radar..........tough schedule coming up though.............

i'm thinking about other stuff too..........but i really should be assembling that baby crib........maybe i should get some hydraulics and some rims...........oooooooo and some fuzzy dice...."daddy, pimp my crib!"........

rock it like you're trying to commit murder........
