HOLY FUCK AT THE COMMERCIALS!..........the hits just keep on coming.......

I'm watching college football tonight and here again i see a commercial with incredible music...........this time it was a Caddillac advert.........and playing in the background was the tune "Stars" by HUM.............who i have loved since that first record...........since when did Madison Ave. get invaded by aging hipsters?............fucking bloody good music........

On a side note.............congrats to Florida St. for kicking the shit out of Bama today.........and i hope to the Good Lord that Washington beats the brakes off of number one ranked USC............oh and thanks to all the other 6 teams that beat the fuck out of top 25 teams today..........yay for upsets.........moves my DAWGS closer to the top!...............

Woohoo!

THIS ONE'S FOR DUSTY RHODES........more childhood mems.........

This story bookends nicely with my IMMA CAPTAIN AMERICA story.....a complimentary illustration about the nature of guilt and debt contained within friendships if you will..........although not quite as poignent(sp?)......

When i was in middle school, i had a friend that i hung out with most of the time......he was a really nice guy........he met me at my door each morning and we walked to the bus stop together........

One fall afternoon, we were rough-housing in the front yard.......trying wrestling moves on each other.........we fell together with his weight and mine coming down on my right forearm.........i heard the snap..........the funny thing is........i didn't feel any pain......but i was going into shock almost immediately.......i knew it was broken........my radius had snapped in two places.........and there was a depression below my wrist that shouldn't have been there..........i went into the house to break the bad news to mom............all the while, my friend apologized over and over..........he felt responsible.........

My mom drove me to Doctor's Hospital to be patched up.........i'll never forget the length of the needle they used to numb my arm to be set..........and i'll never forget that they had to inject the medicine into my armpit to achieve the proper nerve block............but my how the warm plaster felt good when they applied the cast.........

My friend allayed his guilt by buying me extra chocolate milks for the entire school year.........he was a cool cat...........



Rock it like you're not afraid to break it..........because that just wouldn't be living..........

Loose Lips.........poetry train car number whatever......hey y'all, i'm writing again!.......

Tightrope tension
coupled
with words dealt
with abandon
like playing cards
rending flesh
slice!
bleeds to outcomes
unanticipated
and dear ones
injured
and feeling hurt.

IT NEVER FAILS.....................i swear it never does......

Every single time i eat Waffle House, i end up with heartburn...........oh well......time fors da updates and whatnots..........

I just saw a commercial for some service or product that i don't remember........that's because i was too busy paying attention to the background music..........it was Bob Mould solo material........."See A Little Light" i believe was the name of the tune.........For those who didn't already know, Bob Mould fronted the legendary band HUSKER DU...........and they were part of my awakening.......

Another great day to be a DAWG fan..........lots of folks were saying the game this week was a possible trap game with THE VOLS on the horizon.........guess what.......UGA rolls to a 41-17 victory over Ole Miss as the defense steps up BIG TIME!...........take THAT!..........

Tomorrow, my FALCONS go for their first W of the season.........i'm feeling pretty good about the return of Matt Schaub and THE TEXANS.......THE FALCONS have improved each week and TEXAS is beat to Hell and back with injuries........should make for excellent sunday beer drinking and snack gnoshing over at Joe Graves' house........

The dream job i wrote about earlier turned out to be a nightmare.......it proved to be terribly unstable and they never came through with the benefits package they promised.........i went hunting for a new gig and they fired me when they found out i was looking........shit!.........i haven't been fired from a job since i was 17 years old.........and this scrub ass clusterfuck of an organization decides to get in the first punch.........well the joke is on those assholes.........because i secured another job the next day.........and last week those bozos called me and begged me to come back.......poetic,no?...........so for now, i'm back at the hospital holding down the emergency room........i have to say, it's been really pleasant thus far........

The baby is toddling all over the place.........and he is great......incredibly sweet,playful and spirited........i am enjoying watching him grow......



Rock it like life's good...........because it IS good here......GO DAWGS!.........

LYRIC DEVICE..........we're up with GUIDED BY VOICES.....

Yeah I need to do that, that thing that will dislodge the boulder, the abdominal boulder that starts the landslide. Kickin' the dust off the mountain, terrifying the natives, creating history, burying the mystery, waking up the wilderness, with a roar, a score, a trench, a future waterfall, just a kick, the trick, to get a new thing started

yet i reveal this self.... my self down home......at home......in these country hills.........i can't get away.........it resides wihtin me forever.........or else...........refined though i be.....this part of me.........i'll never escape because i love..........what made me..........

twang revealed for upper carolina thangs..........thankin yo granma for lovin' folks....she cooked and she cared and she shared what she had..........finger pickin' parties and hard work made your dad.....

The country made him hard.....and his name made him strong.........your momma took his heart........of that was born you a song......

All night long.........listening ..........listening.........hoping for the best........worrying for the worst of things.......

All night long............it came to this..........the best of things........

The most beautiful of baby girls the world has ever seen............

Best of all things ever,baby.............Tracy is the best person i've ever met...........

Kudos to David Steele and Vivian for knocking it straight out of the park..........

Love my girl..........

So when you comin' home? When you comin' home? You've never lived here... We've all got your name, when you comin' home? You've never lived here... We miss you just the same.

We hold your pride in us being here, we've never left off your name, we hang your beauty on our walls, we miss you just the same.

You're one of us, made of the same clay, you mama moved away, but she took with her our name. You've never lived here, we're savin' you a place, we've always held you near, in our hearts & in our name.
Don't forget your name.
