And Now, It’s Urithrafranklin! With their new single “Puddle of Goo”
The only opener I can think of is “Bloody Fucking Hell these two months have been busy!” It’s accurate and to the point, so lets start there shall we?
My friend Neal and I have really been working on the music scene. That meaning, we have a bunch of songs that are almost done but then we get fed up and start on another one. It’s frustrating really, but I know it’s just a matter of time before we finish everything. We almost have an album. There is a bunch of stuff on his computer that is unfinished, waiting to be laminated as it were, so by the next time I blog hopefully we can have at least a demo disc out.
We also started going out to the free jam night at The Soda Lounge, and no it’s not a place where you go to get free Marmalade. The club has a bunch of instruments already set up on the floor, and who ever wants to go up and play can do so. What a brilliant idea if I do say so myself. Neal and I are there almost every time it occurs. I’m either playing the drums or screaming random lyrics into the mic, while a bunch of random individuals plays a song around me. Since I make up the lyrics right then and there, I have sang about a strange tree, and man with out a coat, and the exit sign above the club door.
A great way to exorcise you vocal chords, and have a fuck load of fun doing it. I hope we get a fallowing.
And now, Work Dribble.
The Work Wanker did it again. Things were going so well too, and then he does it. Let me give you an explanation on “it” is. Mail Lady and Work Wanker don’t get along. That’s fine, it happens sometimes. Everything is going alright for a while until work Wanker fucked it up. One morning WW comes in early, so Mail Lady asks him why he is early. Apparently this was not the time to ask him this, as she was subject to yelling and cursing (yes actual cursing) from WW saying “He doesn’t have to take this crap first thing”. Mail Lady, known for having a bit of a temper, is surprisingly calm. She e-mails the head honcho’s and tells them of WW rudeness. The Company SS confronts WW about this. He denied the whole thing. Since there was no one around when the explosion happened, it’s her word against his.
She is Very Angry at this point. She is going to quite now as soon as there is a new Manager. Our old one found a better job and left. She is supervisor until then.
This in turn pisses me off, I like Mail Lady, and I am also tempted to leave as soon as she does. I’ve been giving WW the cold shoulder for quite a while. Ice cold and Razor sharp, he’s confused as to why. Surprised?
I may be looking for a new job soon it seems because of this, and if it comes to that so be it. I’m not being paid nearly enough compared to others with my job in the city.
Well enough of that, let’s get on with the next bit.
Neal had his Birthday party on the 15th. That was fun because I got to spend some time with his crew, got very drunk and made some new friends in the process. I’m finding his group to be a pretty good bunch. I seemed to fit in quite easy, especially with his friend Kevin. Things are looking up I think.
And now a Holiday story Titled “Bogged Down in the Christmarsh”
I went back to B.C. for the Holidays. I must say it was a very cool trip. I preformed a Ritual to celebrate the Solstice and the new year, my way. I’m not a very religious person but I do lean towards things that feel right. This felt right. Sometimes you need to go through the series of a ceremony to get a feeling across, so that is what I did.
Wiccan Rituals may seem foolish and what not, and I haven’t been privy to them in the past so I decided to try it. I made one up on the spot, and you know, it was pretty cool.
I may even do it every year. For those uneducated, Rituals aren’t spells designed to get what you want. Mostly they “help things along”.
It is like a prayer in a different form for some, for me it’s a personal ceremony. It’s a chance to use ritual to connect to something deeper. I’m not sure what that is exactly, be is some sort of deity, (highly unlikely) the universe itself as a whole, or just myself(Most Likely). So I act out a series of movements I believe to be relevant to the ceremony, and by doing that I feel more connected to the feeling and thoughts I want to get across.
Abra Cadabra Bitches.
It works for me anyhow. I came away from it feeling pretty good.
Other than that I ate a whole lot of good food while I was there, and got some pretty neat stuff, as I do every Christmas I’m there. It made my Mom happy that I was with her, even though it was for a short time. It makes me happy to know she is happy.
I’m not sure there is anything interesting left to tell, but all the best to all my readers in the new year, I have a feeling it’s going to be a good one.
And Now, for your Educational Ghetto Moment.
