Hey, you know it’s been too damn long since I last posted something………so…I figured I’ll just type until I figure out what the hell I am going to say. Oh, here’s a strange business for you. I am entering an essay contest right now that consists of me telling people why I am (for the most part) non-religious. This is the strangest thing I have ever seen, the grand prize is 1000 clams ($). Someone is going to pay me (hopefully) $1000 dollars to talk about myself. I wish that I could make this a full time job.
Anyway that is all fine and dandy but very boring……………..I guess I just can’t stay away from writing papers, even during my summer break.
Let’s check out some websites shall we???
www.consumptionjunction.com – Now here’s a site that you visit when you either feel like getting sick or just seeing some really weird shit. (probably don’t want to visit this site at work!)
www.coffeebreakarcade.com – This is what Mason does at work all day!
since we are all usually “bored at work” check this site out – www.boredatwork.com
By the way, since our beloved bass player is in Japan right now I thought that I would post something a little more relevant to the last 25 posts on the board. Have you seen these crazy Japanese square watermelons? These damn things are selling for 80 – 90 bones a piece. That’s completely insane!!!!!!!!!! It’s just a watermelon………..but it’s square!!!!!!
See it for yourself. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1390088.stm
Sorry for the rambling blog……….have a damn fine time.

My first time in Manhattan in long time went very well. Aaron and I played last night at Bobby T’s and had a damn fine time. When we showed up there were lots of folks having dinner and the such, many of them actually stayed around for show, which was nice. Once again, I played some songs that I didn’t know what-so-ever, I also played some tunes very poorly that I did know. Anyway, I really hope that we can go back and perhaps even take Chris with us next time. The drive from Lawrence to Manhattan didn’t seem so bad because I took I-70. Know what makes for a long drive? A few beers and highway 24 in the middle of the damn night, I was exhausted. The blogs going to be short today, I am at work, humorless, and ready to go home. But the show went very well.
Thanks to Bobby T’s for having us out, I had a blast.

I love me some Mexican beer. But why does it have to be so expensive? Imports, I got it. Anyway, I have some recomendations on some really excellent beer. the first is a beer called “Sol” (sun in spanish)…………I did pass my spanish class with an “A” this semester……..and that’s what I learned “Sol” means “sun”, and it is a fabulous beer to drink. The beer gets even better when you stick a damn lime in it……it’s like taking a drink of the sun…..yet…..less hot……………………………………………………………………………………I really have no idea what the hell I’m talking about. However, an update from my last blog. I am slowly figuring out this Red Dirt Country thing. It’s not country…….but it is…….but it’s not….I don’t wear boots and that’s okay……………I’m really bad at playing just a simple country beat…………but that’s okay sometimes too! Slowly but surely I’ll figure this damn genre out, I swear. Back to beer, mmmm, Tecate……..I know everyone and their dog knows about Tecate, but! what not everyone know is how you need to get each beer. Here’s a list:
1.) Tecate – cans, preferably in a six pack – note: you can buy alot of six packs to make the night long.
2.) Corona – always bottles (But we all know Corona is like the Budweiser of Mexico)
3.)Sol – Always buy in 32 oz. bottle[s], pour in a cup and serve with lime, it’ll rock your socks off!
4.) Dos Equis (That’s “XX” for you who are not trained in the arts of Spanish, as I am.) Just drink it out of the bottle. Also try amber.
……………..More to come………..I swear……….This is just a taste…………………………………………………..
I am on this endeavor to find many mexican beers because Mexico holds the best Brewmasters in el Mundo, That’s “the world”. I’ve rambled enough…
