I have much to tell about the glass shop, but am not in the mood today. What I am feelin’ is some Motley Cruuuuue! Must be my ongoing mid life crisis, but rock is the perfect match for metal work too!! It is so loud and harsh in the metal shop, auuuhhgg. I get kinda used to it then it seems to hit me hard again. To my credit I am sick right now, must have been a sign to slow down. Anywho….Motley Crue! I love ‘em! and GNR & AC/DC & Def Leppard & Poison and Cinderella they were so much fun!!! In the 80-90’s I was going to rock concerts anytime they came to town. Hell, I even saw Stryper. LOL (shit I never type LOL) that is funny!!
Motley Crue & Poison are touring this year, man I‘d love to see that!! Jared teaches me much about music, and he is finally breaking out some of my kinda rock. And I overlooked the White Stripes somehow, man they are great!! If you haven’t seen the DVD “Page, Edge, White” you are missing out. Jimmy Page, the Edge, & Jack White telling their stories about guitars and playing together, it is very cool!! U2 is my all time fav band, I can listen to them anytime. My respect goes out to Bono for his efforts to make the world a better place. When I lived in NJ I was lucky enough to see them in concert. Wow! So amazing! It was just after 911 & they had just been to ground zero, I cried my guts out~!
Alice Cooper is a new fav now, I didn’t give him cred back then, not sure why. Many bands got overlooked b/c I would think there were too harsh when I first heard them. So Coop is on the radio being the best DJ EVER! Big plus for his station—it comes in loud and clear at class & driving home, all the way over both mountains. He plays songs I’d never discover on my own. And he plays U2, most classic rock stations don’t & call me crazy, but it seems like the station’s daytime programming has improved under the influence. He has a celebrity podcast in iTunes that is free & it was super fun to learn all that stuff. Guns n Roses got a big hand up from Coop, and I have to say Appetite for Destruction is my fav hard rock album. Or is it heavy metal, what is the difference?
I miss television. Sex and beautiful people and luxury & worldly travel, TV!!!!! I get a LOT done and when I need to sit & veg, I want TV. We haven’t subscribed since we moved back to WV, 2 years ago L Renting a season at a time on DVD is better anyway. Mad Men is so elegant. I love to find the glass, there’s usually some in the background. Really got into True Blood, Eric. Most all the HBO & Showtime series are worthy. The Tudors about the life & wives of Henry VIII has gorgeous costumes & sets.
Really want to see American Idol this season, never had much interest before, but Steven Tyler is a judge! Love it! Wanna see it! Aerosmith tops the chart on number of times I have seen a band in concert. Those guys are rock n roll all the way! They love it! They want to be on stage entertaining you.
I’ll tell ya what I hate too, if ya care: Lynard Skynard, “Southern Rock,” iTunes, And people who keep their dogs tied in the yard all the time.
Today is April Fools and my friend Jason’s b-day. Joke’s on us—it is melting faster than it is snowing. Big beautiful white flakes falling on a green world and a few daffodils. And I got the koodies so I’m inside making our home livable again after being busy out & about. Wanting a puppy really bad. One of my welding buddies, wait 2, have free puppies. I have been manifesting a white fluffy puppy dog for about a year, and there is one white female! She is already 9 weeks old! I gotta get that puppy!
I have much gratitude for all that I have and who I am. And to you since you read this far!! I will do my best to keep it interesting and frequent-ish.
