Still un-em-ployed but there may be some hope within the month. Tonight was interesting- i learned alot, accepted criticism (or is that positive criticism?) provoked a fight, became a peacekeeper from the fight, drank a fuckload of milk off of someone's company teat and had to endure the same roberta flack song twice during a karaoke encounter. AND SOMEHOW ENDED UP PERFORMING A WEEZER SONG. it's almost 5 am local time and i just got home. and it cost me 60 bucks for a cab. gawd, i miss this.

Posterity
We busted our cherry last nite and left a musical legacy. Caterwaul Of Sound hit the recording studio. We laid down the tracks for our soon to be hit single The Love Theme to Kids Go To The Woods, Kids Get Dead.
Most of the band, being noobs to the studio scene, were fascinated with the process. Scratch tracks? Overdubs? Multiple takes???? Crazy man, crazy.
And the biggest debate took place over what the "secret backwards message" would be. One hint... we actually didn't make it (too) satanic!
Next step is to shoot the video.
One more page for the scrapbook of madness!
Here are some more unlikely themes...

Let's Go Mets!!!!!
Went to the Mets' debacle last nite. Perhaps the last time Nazz jr and I will be at the old stadium in Flushing. Yes, it's a dump, but it's MY dump.
I must have gone to a couple of hundred Mets games at Shea Stadium in my life. Growing up a couple of miles away from the park will let you do that. I remember walking through Flushing Meadow Park back when I was 12 years old to go to games and sit in the upper deck for $1.60. These days, I don't let my kids play outside without watching em. And yet, back in the day, my mom would let me and my pre-teen pals trek a couple of miles to go to games.
I was at the 1986 World Series Game 7, when the Mets beat the Red Sox thanks to a couple of botched Red Sox plays (hooray for Bob Stanley's wild pitch and Bill Buckner allowing Mookie Wilson's grounder to go through the five hole). I actually snuck into the game, but that's a story for another posting.
I also have a big bag full of gen-u-ine Shea Stadium turf (well, it's dead grass and dirt now) from when we stormed the field when they clinched the division back in '86. We actually got written up in the NY newspapers since we jumped onto the netting behind home plate and jumped 20 feet onto the field (amazing how Vodka, Champagne and Valium reduce your inhibitions).
We're down to possibly one game left. The Mets need to beat the Marlins tomorrow and have the Brewers lose. Or, if they both finish with the same record, it's a one game play-off on Monday. So, the Metskies BETTER FREAKIN' WIN!
It was sad to say goodbye last nite. The new park is going to be beautiful (at a cost much higher for tix of course) ... and less seats (to drive up the demand); but will it be home?
Here's a couple of pix from last nite... I have tickets for one of the play-off games, I hope I get to use em!
LET'S GO METS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The First Shot Across The Bow
So, back up the stairs she went to change. The kid was pissed, but too bad. She's a really good kid (isn't even boy crazy yet), but if you don't nip this crap in the bud, they turn into this.
Prudish perhaps? Fuck yeah. If you don't keep these kids on the straight and narrow, well they might turn into me one day! Hold on to your seat Daddy-O, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Baseball Altamont
Athletes have been cheating forever… whether it was corked bats, stolen signs, amphetamines or anything else they could do to get an edge.
If someone gave me the opportunity to make millions of dollars playing baseball by shooting a needle into my arse, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
And of course they were going to lie and plead innocence… wouldn’t you?
In tribute to these brave warriors… I humbly offer the Bleedin’ Out Baseball mix.
Download the whole kit and caboodle by clicking here!

To Sleep, Perchance To Dream
to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.

"Meditations on First Philosophy"
Having some real sleep related issues as of late. I have always been a very vivid dreamer. But lately, it's been a nite at the frikkin movies everytime I get shut eye. And the dreams are so intense that I'm more tired than ever when I wake up. As an added bonus, I am having trouble differentiating my dream state from reality with regard to my memories. There have been quite a few times where I think back to events and I am sure that things I dreamed about actually happened.
Whether is is stress related or brought on by a significant reduction in my consumption of intoxicants is up for debate.
But that's all my cross to bear, not yours. You benefit from my soporific albatross by getting access to the Bleedin' Out Dream Mix. You got to download the whole thang. While it won't incur slumber, it'll rock ya in yer pyjama's.

Bands My Wife Hates
Hell, she has even liked some of MY band's music! Now that's true love.
However, there are those certain bands that we don't see eye to eye on. She has veered over to alot of more popular bands over the years (probably as a result of being held captive by my teenage daughter's radio pre-sets). I can't even mention some of the bands she can tolerate (well- how about Evanescence and Lincoln Park for starters).
On the other hand, she makes me change the channel or skip the song whenever George Thorogood or Bob Dylan or (especially) Weezer come on.
Thank the lord that we both agree that Phish, Billy Joel and Phil Collins should all be burned at the stake.
So viva la difference (or somethin' like that).
Here's some stuff that I like but my better half considers aural torture.

And for one desperate moment...
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well it was kinda cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
