I love this song: Loan Me A Dime. Boz Skaggs on vocal and Duane Allman on guitar. From Boz's second album in 1969. Long song btw.

*I'll get over this shit shortly*

Story of my high school years. At times it also reminds me of here. The music starts at about 1:25

It was tough last night, while watching the Olympics opening ceremony, to see Muhammad Ali. This was a man I remember as a 5 year old winning gold at the 1960 Rome Games. Then the kicking ass and taking names,total domination of the heavyweight division. Until he took a stand for peace he believed in. As a young teen it was hard to understand how someone who beat the shit out of people for a living would not fight for their country but I always respected his right to his own religion.
So it was very hard to see this man racked by parkinsons and blindness. Shaking as he touched the Olympic flag. To see how frail we all our. How one who was so great becoming almost a sideshow at an opening ceremony.

Waiting
for the magic to happen
for dreams to come true
for the pain to go away.
for the hangover to hit
none ever seem to happen
Waiting

One of the few in rock who understood how to play the B3/C3 and stand with Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGrif and Brother Jack on them. RIP you will be missed by many.
This is my fav song from the early Deep Purple days.

Just got here to post this and now peace - out.

A little food, a lot of alcohol, and high explosives. That's how we roll on celebrating America. Happy 236th!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice here on the dark side of the fourth rock. Wifi reception is spotty but hey, no worse than a lot of Starbucks.
Wasn't here 10 minutes and hear "oh me oh my". Ran over and messed with the Acme Blast O' Earth gun. Then when Marvin tried to fix the ray gun, I reprogrammed his speed dial. Now when he calls Acme Customer Support, he gets the China support group. That will keep him busy for a bit. lol
Haven't seen that annoying little duck or stuttttering pig yet. Anyone who thinks a couple kids around the early teen years are bad hasn't been out here with those two.
There is a new guy here. Name is Darth. Kind of hard to understand but has a really cool helmet. We have some things in common too.
Oh yea. That floppy eared map challenged varmit hasn't shown up yet either. I'm sure he will. Always seems to..

Figured I'd put a song up. Goes back to a previous life on NN. Fingers crossed on the song working

And so it goes...........

Running into a former co-worker a few weeks back and putting up with icy stares from his wife since she considers me a bad influence! BITCH
Seeing pictures of her with hubs female boss and another guy on a certain adult site. Very Intervesting
Seeing the look on her face as she stands in behind you in the checkout line at Safeway and you mention about the pics. PRICELESS
Watching her search the parking lot in vain for you after she checks out. Words can't describe the feeling. bahahaha


Now the rest of the story. A few years back her hubby and I were both in Charlotte on business. Another co-worker and I took hubby to a strip club. Hubby was over 30 and had never been to one. It was out civic duty as demented perverts to correct this social wrong. It was worth what we paid for his lap dances to see the grin on his face. He told wifey. I was the worst person in the world. Even my partner in crime wasn't as bad. Since I am old enough to be his dad - I should know better. LOL
But the payback today was totally worth it.

and so it goes.......

I sit in the cold and dark of early morn. Wondering what will happen next. The past is being torn down around me. The future is uncertain. So many changes in such a short period of ones life. Can I handle it. Or will change be like the waves, washing me away in the tide. Or like the sun, shining upon the future of my life and happiness. It would be so easy if we only knew.
