Hope you're all having an enjoyable New Year's Eve! Personally, I spent the day working in the shop on a new wooden server rack, ordered Chinese, and am now catching up on some Netflix and relaxing in front of a fireplace. Haven't been much into the big NYE parties for years... so this is just perfect. Tomorrow I plan on catching the new Star Wars... and... well, that's it. It's kind of nice to just take it easy and relax.
Just sitting here doing pretty much nothing. Found a video of one of my guitarist buddy's from the 80's band. They were good, but generic hair metal. At least they got signed and put out a couple albums. He probably ended up in debt after the label fronted them the studio time.
A few years ago I would have called you a pussy and an old man for that. But I consider today a success because I spent less than $150 on over $250 worth of tools (and a fiskar’s chopping axe). And now I’m relaxing by the fire pit with a cigar and Newcastle and don’t plan to be awake at even 11:00. And that’s perfectly fine by me.
I see Terry Brown produced that album; are you sure your friend's not in debtors' prison? I've read the name Fifth Angel in recent years, though while I'm sure that video got a decent rotation on the Headbangers' Ball and Hard 60 it doesn't stand out in my memory from back in the day. This is due entirely to my lack of taste at the time, I'm sure; that's actually well-executed hair metal, but might have been too AOR-ish for a post-1986 release.
I haven't seen the guy since the early/mid 90's. I don't know if they got rotation on Headbanger's or not. When I met him he told me he'd been in Fifth Angel and I just looked at him blankly. I'd never heard of them. He played me some of their stuff and still nothing. I dug what he was playing though and ordered their album and I was impressed. They were good. But at the same time, I've known a lot of guys that played in 80's bands that were damn good, but they never broke. I've always been surprised that Kix weren't bigger then they were. Those guys captured the whole bar band 80's thing and nailed it.
I'd never heard of these guys before tonight. A bunch of old guys playing rock n' roll. I dig it. I suspect they may be Mexican.
My newly minted 21 year old twin boys have invited a couple of friends over to drink single malt scotch with the wife. This will not end well and will probably mean that I will be driving young men home at 2 in the morning. But, I know they are safe at least tonight and for that I think I may be the luckiest man alive.
We twa hae run about the braes, And pou'd the gowans fine; But we've wander'd mony a weary fit, Sin' auld lang syne.
We'll see where this goes... It's never a good idea to drunk text an ex, but I did. She was a singer and used to sing me to sleep....it was awesome. I haven't spoken to her in 3 or 4 years and I just sent her a text. Probably not one of my better ideas.
Hey toytoy here’s my friends’ band, he’s the drummer. This was their biggest hit, nowadays he’s lead vocalist for Jake E. Lee’s band. Won’t you take me to Mullet Town: ...and no, I’ve asked him several times, and he still doesn’t know what the fuck Judge Reinhold was doing in his video.
My father in law just drunk text my wife and I calling us devil worshipers (because we're atheist, so apparently we worship the devil?). Hell hath no furry like a woman on her period who just got pissed the FUCK off. Happy New Years idiots. Fireworks are cool tonight, but hell if I can't wait to see them tomorrow. Imma just stand back and let my wife do the dirty work, then go white guy fury and kick him in the crotch and sucker punch him if shit gets outta hand.
Maybe you should consider taking up the faith. Lord knows you hurt yourself enough. Maybe God's mad at your insolence.
