GG Allin Carmelita

Unexpected pleasure from GG Allin. GG was one of rock n roll's most unique artists. I expect there will be no more like him in the near future.
Google him, if you dare. Anyhow he does a great version of the Zevon classic.

Still have sold nothing at the gallery.

One of my new cable channels is RT. Russian Television. It is an interesting channel. All news and documentary for the most part. Very much to the left and a fair amount of bashing the U.S. although I do not disagree with much of what they are saying. It is interesting though. Subtle propaganda.

I did catch part of a documentary called "Yes Sir, No Sir" about the movement amongst the soldiers in Vietnam who actively started protesting the war while in the military. It also had clips the F.T.A. shows in Vietnam which were the anti Bob Hope type of shows that were sanctioned by the government. I am going to rent the on Netflix. Looks very good and very timely.

Hope you enjoyed the video, it is a good one.

So Sad

I forgot to go to the grocery store yesterdat. I have no coffee, milk, bread, butter or anything else to drink.
Stupid. Morning with no coffee. Not a good thing.

I felt like crap last night so naybe that was why I forgot to go to the store. Maybe I'll go a lunch today. Cold enough that my truck can be a fridge for a couple hours.

My parents got hammered with snow. Mom said it was the most snow from one storm that she can remember. My dad actually went out at 3:30 in the morning and used the snow blower on the driveway.
He knew if he waited till he got up it would have been too much for the thing to work.
They can not wait till they leave for Florida.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow of their snow.

Comfy

I could have stayed in bed a bit more this morning. it was quite comfortable.

The ride to work yesterday was decent. Getting out of my apartment complex was the worst part and the road I live on was all ice. The highway was fine and the other roads were slushy.

We had no phones and internet yesterday until 2 p.m. It made for a nice day at work.

I saw this bumper sticker in Savannah. I like it.

My parents are expecting 8 - 18 inches of snow. Bet they are thrilled.

Went through my last three months of  pictures and I hated most of them. Uugggh. Need to get that groove back.

Got my wireless router set up so I can download to my Kindle from home. Reading Dracula for free.

It's a wintry mix

Well we escaped. sort of. While much of NC got 4 -6 inches of snow the Greensboro had an inch or so. Then it was topped off by freezing rain. The roads will most likely be in poor condition this morning. I am going to leave for work early so I can poke along and get the there nice and safe. The truck is not so good in icy conditions.

Tammy you need to call me when you get a chance. I may have a place to sell your "Essentials".

Yesterday was my one year anniversary at work.  Is a raise somewhere in the future?

Some folks were wondering if the shooting this weekend would tame all the rhetoric between the left and right that you hear in the media on a daily basis. Umm, no. If you watched any of Fox News or MSNBC you know that is not happening. Please folks, find a way to hammer them in a different way. Yea I know it brings in ratings and that brings in money. But you are part of the reason things are the way the are.

Well that is all I am writing this morning. Do not want to ramble on about things today.

Time to put my skates on and get to work.

Moving to the Country

One year ago today I was leaving the State of Florida on my way to Greensboro, NC. It has been an interesting journey so far. Some good, some bad and mostly ok. Now my trick is to find a home in the country, cheap, with some land, and get dirt on my hands. That's the goal for 2011.
Always full of schemes and dreams. Maybe of woman, that would be better than a house. We shall what my dreams and schemes bring this year. Wish me luck, my friends.

Snow today. they just a little. Then snow Monday night and Tuesday.

Have a first Friday.

Gerry we will miss you

Gerry Rafferty gone because of alcohol. We will miss you. Great music. Thank you.

This is one of the songs of my childhood.

Chester, CT

This is a shot of the little downtown section of my hometown, Chester, Ct. It looks exactly the same as it has for many many years. The stores have changed and the paint is much more vibrant but otherwise the view is the same. Nice lttle small town New England feel. Much of the Doris Day movie "It Happened to Jane" was filmed in Chester.

When you see a homeless person at the same place everyday week after week, month after month, do you feel compassion or contempt?

I did not win the Mega Millions drawing last night. Too bad, I had plans for that money. 355 million would have been a nice score.

We may have some snow tonight and tomorrow morning.

What do you think killed 5000 birds in Arkansas and 100,000 fish?

John Boner and Bitch McConnell take control of the political agenda today. Get ready for the ride, its going to get ugly real soon.

I like my Kindle.

WTF

I will post later. The post I spent half an hour on this morning would not post and got completely deleted.

Thanks Blogger, you suck.

So it begins

So 2011 has begun with two days of no sunshine and with on and off rain. Nice way to spend the weekend. Did not do a darn thing at all. A perfect waste of two days.

Did you make a resolution that you plan to break?

Maybe the world should make a resolution to take care of it citizens a little better. No war, feed your people, give them water. teach them to grow their own food, give them proper shelter. Maybe our leaders should have made a resolution to respect each others values and the values of peoples of other nations, colors and religions.

Maybe the United States should take the 1 trillion dollars that is spent on all military expenses and use that to fix our country.

If we resolved, this year, to fix all the roads, bridges, power lines, gas pipes, oil pipes and all similar infrastructure we could have the unemployment rate to very low levels and get things on the right path very quickly.

If we resolve to be the leaders of the world we would stop war.
