I was out of the office for only a few minutes today.  Only long enough to deposit my paycheck and buy a Lightnin’ Hopkins record.  A short amount of time.  Long enough to sicken me.  The humanity.  Or lack of it in human beings.  People.  Disgusting.  There is no question why I like it in the safety of the office.  Just went for a walk.  I was like a walking “Amityville Horror”.  Bugs everywhere.  I am listening to Lightnin’ Hopkins now.  No bugs.  Everything is cool.

I have probably gone over this before but it needs to be said again. Proper expectations in a relationship with another human being are very important. I know people. People who I thought I was going to have this deep and meaningful relationship with. And the relationship was never deep or meaningful. And I was always disappointed. Resentment. And then I gave up on the person. Like I expect absolutely nothing out of the person at all. And now every time I see the person. Or talk to them on the phone. Since I never expected to have any contact with the person again. I love the person. Because I don’t expect anything out of the person. I expect nothing. And when I get a laugh from the conversation. It is awesome. Because I did not expect a thing. It is the casual sex of human interaction. Well. I guess casual sex is that. But it is the same thing. I go to Tom Ericsson for deep. I expect deep. I get deep. Solid friendship. And then there are other people. It is important to have the expectations and the person fulfilling them to be somewhat close to each other. Enough said.

Just came back from a long walk. I am sweating. Laurie told me that I should not try to become a blues drummer.

Big ups to Russell (my cat, who I slept with) for attacking, killing and eating a moth. No. I did not try to stop him. I just stood back and watched him get vicious. Jumping. Knocking shit over. Swatting. Destroying. Russell. That’s my dude.

It is not a sin to promote one’s activities. Is it? Maybe I should ask ldc.

What’s on deck:

Black Cabbage
Dead Peasant Insurance
The White Hesitations (my other band)
@ Pat’s in the Flats

sleepykid (Andrej’s band with me and Ricky [ex-Revelers/ex-Satan’s Satellites])

Motel Blonde
@ The Beachland Tavern

The sleepykid record is coming out on Get Hip at the end of this month, so I guess we are going to try and play some shows or something. I am still not sure how much I want to talk about upcoming events on the Assholier than Thou Good Times Happy Friends Monday Morning Radio Show Starring Baby Fea (yea!) even though Junkyard Todd seems to think it is OK. It is against the rules and I still don’t like the name sleepykid and if I talk about the White Hesitations (a band name that I do like), will that be unfair to Andrej. Everything is an issue and at the same time it is not. I will just try to rock and be too lazy to link anything to this BLOG.

If I were going to prescribe the Ann Wilson diet, here is what I would have you do:

1. Lose some weight.
2. Have your sister Nancy gain some weight
3. Do a special on Country Music Television where you stand next to Wynonna for the whole thing.

Wow. You did lose some weight. For added surrealistic effect, have the guitar player from Alice and Chains play “Rock and Roll” by Led Zeppelin with you. No one will remember anything.

Blink and the weekend is gone. I had a couple of minutes to kill in between running around today. How lucky was I that I found Jamie Lee Curtis dancing around in her underwear in “True Lies” for exactly the five minutes that I had to sit and watch television?

Another blast of good luck was me walking past a sign in somebody’s front yard announcing “It’s a Girl!” Girl’s name? “Serenity”. Spelled wrong.

Currently reading a biography of Howlin’ Wolf and listening to “How Many More Years” this second. Could life be any better? I will tell you the answer tomorrow on the Assholier than Thou Good Times Happy Friends Monday Morning Radio Show Starring Baby Fea (yea!).
