Hello In There

Uh, I just started a blog. Ain't never had me own blog before. Blog. Sounds like the sound someone makes when they drink too much.

Don't really know what to do in this here blog. I've never really read any blogs before (that I remember). Uh, Ok, I'm 32 years old. I like music and road hockey and beer. I haven't actually played road hockey in about 2 years, but I still like it, and plan to play it again eventually.

I write songs, formerly with bands, now all by meself. You can hear some of 'em here.

Let me know what you think.

I don't read newspapers or watch news anymore, so there probably won't be a whole lot of current-event type musings on this blog. Obama is president. That's all I really need to know for now. I like him, he appears human.

I guess I'll talk about things I like and dislike. That seems to be what a blogger would do. And I guess that I, being one who now blogs, am a blogger.

Music. Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, The Band, Wilco, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Neil Young, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, The Beatles, Zeppelin, Pantera, Faith No More, Amelia Curran, Ray Charles, Willie, Merle, Woody Guthrie.

This could go on forever.

I'm also avid film looker-atter.

Oh God. I don't know where to start. The Big Lebowski. Seems as good a place as any. I'll stop there as well. For now.

I love the Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Habs. I've always hated the Leafs, mostly cuz they were stupid. They're less stupid now, so I have to give 'em a chance. But I'll pretend I still hate 'em.

Deadwood. Watch it. It's a TV show.

Currently I'm watching Lost with my lovely girlfriend Renee so I will be caught up by the time Season 6 starts, which is apparently really soon. I'm starting season 3. Jesus. I have a lot of time to put in yet. It's pretty good though. Despite the sometimes bad acting, and random nonsense. 'Hey look, it's a random black horse'. 'Man, that's weird'. 'Don't tell anybody'. 'Don't worry, I won't'. 'Where's my baby?????? MY BABY????????????????????????'.'I AM GOING TO FIND MY SON'. 'AHHHHHHHHH'. It's like the song 'The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest'. Entertaining, though.

I play little acoustic shows at this place called The Clay Cafe in Halifax, NS. It's pretty cool. People just paint pottery and drink coffee, and I sit in the corner and play my songs. Kinda like practice. It's good, cuz I get to play all of my new songs for people that would never hear 'em otherwise. Kinda like a focus group. If they clap, I know they like it. Plus the room sounds great. No mic or nothin'. Just an acoustic geetar. I'm playing this Friday night at 7:30. Come check it out.

Books, crossword puzzles, Yahtzee.

Jeopardy.

Louis CK is hilarious. Watch him on the youtubes.

Runnin' out of steam here. Time for another cigarette. Helps me think. Goin' to see Wilco on March 2nd. I think there might still be a few tickets left (which fucking blows my mind). I think they're my favorite band right now. Go see 'em. Nels Cline is the best guitar player I've ever heard in my life.

Six points for Sid the Kid last night!! Count 'em. Six.

Alright, I'm out. Ask me questions, leave me comments, give me a topic to rant about. I love to talk aimlessly things in which I have no real knowledge.

George Carlin is funny.

bye.
