Fever dreams are weird.
Last night/this morning I dreamt that I was hanging out, eating knockoff sour soothers with the Constantines, in a space station that orbited the moon.
Alright, this post took too much energy. Back to the moon I go.

I got a...

If I could have one wish right now I’d be about as half as tough as I pretend I am Then I wouldn’t care how empty this old house feels I could take her things and take them far away from here I could make sure no dirt ever got on her name Cause looking at that stone wouldn’t bring me so much pain I could go into town wearing my finest clothes I could turn these tears into blood...

Be my valentine
They say time makes things easier but only time will tell You said we’d go the distance but I guess it’s just as well You’re blossoming all over while I whither on the line I just called to tell you that “I hope...

All this Grammy talk.
The Grammys don’t matter to Music. That includes everything and everyone involved with the organization and event. The employees, the judges, the clothing designers, the television personalities, you name it. Not even the artists matter anymore, because the Grammy’s aren’t even about their art.
The Grammys are about the soulless and empty entertainment industry. The thought...

Why do we think that it’s the woman’s fault? Why is that engrained into our cultural psyche? Why???

Fourteen Hour Day
Nights like weeks in Timmins you’d work out in the mines / I’d go to bed eyes wide awake and bury you in my mind / I’d bury you in my mind
Your sooty boots would stain the stairs up to our front door / You’d made it through another night and come home in the morn / You’d come home in the morn
And it would be a nice light to lay me down with you in / It’d be a...

Saturday
The most exciting part of my day was buying a sewing awl for $13 and learning how to re-apply tongues on a pair of hockey skates. I’m obsessing over it so much that I wanna quit my day job and fix skates for a living.

Ed: Why don't you play gigs, or at least open mics?
WRL: Who wants to hear some asshole hack away at simplified [Drive-By] Truckers covers?
Ed: I do. We all do.
WRL: That's because everyone's pissed-drunk by the time I pick up the guitar, including me.

Brunch!!
theditchisonfire:
Hey! So brunch this past Saturday with Tamara and Wade was excellent! We unfortunately don’t have any pictures, but I’m hoping we’ll be able to do another shin-dig pretty soon!!
Great company and delicious breakfast food, what a fabulous combination.
Solid company. Solid location. Solid food.
One thing I really noticed about Black Sheep Diner was their music selection. I...

I sub for a beer league team that is two divisions...
One of the players, who is average at best, recently missed a couple games due to an infection in his leg. At the last game we asked what it was. He sheepishly admitted that it was a reaction to steroids. What’s sad is that he admitted he started using steroids for hockey.
Before he told the story, I already disliked him. Cocky as hell, always pumping his own tires. “That was the best...
