Current affairs 10/18/2009

I don't really have much going on. The Pouges are coming this Friday. Broke my iPhone's plug. Probably get a small dock for it at home or get a new cord. Server is half done, just need to install Samba and get it here soon. Band practice this week I hope, really could use the time away from it all. Ordered a new power supply for my laptop.

The Fixer.

There is this kid, somewhere in the midwest, who is wrapped up in flannel and listening to the latest Pearl Jam track with the biggest headphones this side of a Memphis recording studio. In this kid's head are the dreams yet to unfold from the crumpled ink on the floor. His walls are plastered with Obama stickers and posters for bands that may and may not be any longer. The imitation Bab-com sits next to titanium fighters beside his bed lamp. He lays his head down and watches the click and fade of the beautiful box on top of his portable closet. All is right today, all is correct here and now. Just a few more days until I can put my sticks in my hand and keep going for another week.

Rocky Top and Wagon Wheel

Really digging the folky revival things going on right now. Just something good feeling about this, and all the music is helping find inspiration for Two Boots right now. Anyway, found some ideas deep down. Now to lay my head below the high.

Poet and the mutts

The poet and his companions watch from their world, out the door and in the silence of contemplation. The children of the storm watch in silence as history dances in her way. Too young to feel this old, we pass the time the same ways as those that love us did.

Some Random Band

I can see the end of the world right now and it isn't that bad. The ring and the flowers are a little late but they are here right now. I miss you sure, but not as muchas I miss my drums right now.

Not getting kicked yet

Hey y'all. So I have this thing I feel like doing, and I don't quite understand why. I want to roll out on the Route 66 for a while this year. Put some money aside, take a week off of work and just hit it and see how far from home I can get. Just a thought. Woo!

Sketchy (Beastie Boys - Ill Communication)

So what am I doing here? Well mostly this will be the new center of operations for me. Who am I? I am the author of "Two Boots and a Drumstick". That is a blog filled with snippets of text, ideas, happenings and hanging outs that are all fictional. What am I doing with a second blog? This I hope to use as a full time record of real events and comment on things that inspire the posts on Two Boots.

Also I want to post some of the sketches I do and repost some of the "Jim and Frank" stuff either here or on Two Boots and a Drumstick. Same with the Boys story.

But the big opener I want to post here is the Final Tour of Harvey Danger. One of the saddest days of my life was hearing that they were retiring the name. Maybe the actual members won't split, but who knows but them. All I know right now is one of my bands is going off as the other finally got back together and moved back into a serious tour schedule. Oh well, such is and whatnot. Hope everyone enjoys the stories on Two Boots and a Drumstick and the creepy voyeurism of this site!
