More Of My Random Thoughts...

I tend to break stuff...just this morning I destroyed one of those little Ipod-ready radios...it was going on the fritz - going from medium volume TO FRICKING LOUD AS HELL and then to a whisper with a nice little buzzing sound...so after throwing it on the floor rather hard, it quit doing that. It also quit doing everything else, but I feel better and now I have an excuse to get a nicer one. Take that crappy radio...you won't piss me off again.
----------------------------------------------------
Some of the best movies I have seen are when I go to Blockbuster for their 3 for $20 or 4 for $20 deal and I am one DVD short so I pick something up at random...I just got "Bottle Shock" that way and really enjoyed it.
----------------------------------------------------
I really don't enjoy work and would rather not have to do it, but I haven't found a way to make the same amount of money yet by playing golf or staying at home, so until then...
----------------------------------------------------
Why is it the people that annoy you the most are the ones that come into your office all the time?!?
----------------------------------------------------
Putting new strings on a guitar used to fire me up to jam for the rest of the night. Now I can barely get the last string on before I'm ready to put the thing back in it's case.
----------------------------------------------------
I love the "Trailer Park Boys" show...Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles are great..."Mr. Lahey used to be a nice guy - we turned him into a fuckin' crazy, drunk lunatic."
----------------------------------------------------
I have 4 pairs of hockey skates and only 2 feet...doesn't make sense.
----------------------------------------------------
The digital age has ruined listening to music. No digital file will ever sound as good as a nicely maintained vinyl album and a nice turntable with a top-notch cartridge. I listened to "Bring The Family" by John Hiatt on the Mobile Fidelity issued album over the weekend and was reminded of two things...that's one of the finest albums ever recorded and vinyl sounds better!
----------------------------------------------------
After typing the above statement, I must admit I will go nowhere with out one of my Ipods...how else can I take 25 days worth of music with me in a pocket?!?
----------------------------------------------------
I NEVER thought I'd ever have an iPhone. Now I never want to NOT have an iPhone.
----------------------------------------------------
I am hooked on HBO's "Deadwood" even though it ended a year or so ago! I bought all 3 seasons on DVD and have been watching them alot. Al Swearegen's rants are television writing at it's best!
----------------------------------------------------
I like the smell of the acoustic guitar room at Guitar Center and the cigar room at the Tinderbox. (Do they even have Tinderbox stores anymore? I haven't been in an actual mall in over 5 years!)
----------------------------------------------------
Why is it that the mere sound of some people's voices can make your stomach turn?
----------------------------------------------------
I didn't like Michael Jackson when he was alive, and I'm really starting to hate him now that he's dead...24 hour coverage of his passing is obnoxious.
----------------------------------------------------
Whatever happened to good old horror movies? These modern "re-imaginings" of the classics suck. The remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was actually pretty good, but it's success signaled this wave of remakes and they have ranged from mediocre to just plain bad.
----------------------------------------------------
I am also absolutely hooked on HBO's "True Blood" series..."Sookie's mine!"
----------------------------------------------------
I love going to Canada for many reasons...tops on that list could very well be that you can order fries with gravy and a ginger ale with lime without the waiter or waitress looking at you strange. They have Philthy McNasty's too - and that is my kind of food joint!
----------------------------------------------------
I went to great lengths to set up my home theater with 7.1 surround instead of the more common 5.1 surround...and hardly any movies are being released in 7.1 yet! C'mon movie studios...get going on the 7.1 tracks.
----------------------------------------------------
I like big boobs.

  1. I can't remember the last time I got to just sit and really scrutinize/listen to a new album the way we used to hang out and do. You're right, the digital age has practically ruined that.

    Of course, having a 1 year old running around may have something to do with that too! LOL
