Thanks to some free tickets that my friends Josh and Shelby got from working at PetSmart, I went to this evening’s Jacksonville Suns game. Ironic that a team called the Suns would play in a city where it rains every day. The cloudburst notwithstanding, it was an hour before the first pitch, I figure it’d let up ( Read more... )

I really don't expect anyone to care about this but me, but I'm gonna say it anyway. I finally got my new guitar, a Gibson Les Paul. That's right, the quintessential rock and roll guitar is finally mine ( Read more... )

I saw an ad for a band looking for a guitarist at George's Music yesterday. They were a 3-piece looking for an additional guitar player. From the flyer, it sounded like they were a rock band, in their early to mid-twenties. It also happened that they were playing a show tonight. I thought, "Well, I can call 'em, and check out their show to see ( Read more... )

Today's episode took place in the mailroom of my work, the large conglomerate of PSS. The characters are Mark, in charge of mail, and Kathy, in charge of filing. Both the mail dept. and filing dept. are in the same room ( Read more... )

This Thursday, me and Josh are gonna go to a Jacksonville Suns game. I haven't been to a baseball game in forever, and I guess it's also cheap beer night ( Read more... )

A word to the wise: DO NOT store anything in your garage that you may want to use again one day. There's an old TV set that Craig left behind that he said I could use. When I went to retrieve it, I found that about a half dozen spiders had usurped the appliance and declared it their own nation-state ( Read more... )

Chief Joseph's wayward singer, Jonathan, stopped by today. He paid me for the window he broke, so I felt obliged to give him his stuff back, minus what Craig took with him (a minidisk player, practice guitar amp, and a TV--not a bad haul). Part of me wanted to tell him I sold all his stuff already and tell him off, but my overpowering politeness ( Read more... )

Hey, kids. For those of you know Craig (my roommate and former bassist for rock juggernaut, Chief Joseph), he will be moving to Pennsylvania this weekend. There is to be a sendoff party this Friday night at our dear friend Chris Short’s house, since our place will be scattered with boxes and such, and since no one knows where the hell it is, ( Read more... )

Sunday night, at the recommendation of Chris, I went to check out Momus at Jackrabbits. Having only heard his album “Ping Pong” before, I had no idea what to expect from a live performance ( Read more... )

As part of my new fitness regime I've starting jogging again after a 2 week hiatus due to a knee injury. It was a result of being an out of shape white guy who suddenly decided to start running like a damn fool. I bought running shoes and everything. I must say that I'm not a big fan so far. They say it lengthens your life. Great, those extra ( Read more... )
