October 26th...

 

Friday Music - Alaska Reid

They are driving 4 hours to spend three hours with me and then heading back out.

It's nice to feel needed.

Halloween is coming...

Friday Music - Paul McCartney and Wings

It's birthday weekend. 

I get to go see Paul tonight. 

The real fun is apparently scheduled for tomorrow.

It could be the best Bond theme. One of the better Bond films. 

Friday Music - Gully Boys

I love the feeling of Fall.  I think I'll go leaf watching today.

I am pretty sure ICE won't be there.

Friday Music - Beach Bunny

Sharing my wealth of knowledge:

Never buy into a timeshare.

Don't buy the cheapest insurance (they will fight you every time you deserve payouts).

Never walk home drunk.  Get a ride.

Cheap bacon is exactly that, cheap bacon.

Enjoy good music.

Friday Music - Pseudo Echo

I need more sleep.

This is not an observation.  This is a plea. 

Friday Music - John Mellencamp

Leaving behind some kick as women in Chicago.  

I know they will handle the thugs.

I'm going to Farm Aid...an all-time classic.

Friday Music - Kiss the Tiger

I love a great big metro area under threat of military invasion by its own government. 

I love having an audiance and a view!

Friday Music - Rihanna

Empty nester now, but I'm keeping busy.

I've only had to hear this song 5000 times in the last week.  

I've been recording a lot of women lip-syncing to it.

There are worse gigs...

Friday Music - The Rainmakers

Having an empty house has definitely freed up my schedule for other activities.

I need some downtime...

Pure 80's gold! 

Friday Music - The Beths

It is going to be a sad weekend for me.

It's going to be brutal.

And that's before the country decided to 'head first' into dictator world.

Friday Music - Rihanna

I've been asked if I mind being on video...

...

...

...

That's a hard no.

Friday Music - KATSEYE

I'm calling a time-out!

I need to sleep this weekend. 

I remember seeing these guys at the mall...although I am not the biggest fan of the super short single trend.

Saturday Music - SYM1

Okay, so what started off as a relaxing day at home ended up with me rolling back here at 11 AM today. 

Oopsies, butterfingers.

Don't worry.  My friends took care of me. 

Friday Music - Nilüfer Yanya

Due to a previous muse, I can now sense a woman with ulterior motives a mile away.

Their act tells me how desperate most men really are. 

Friday Music - MARINA

"You're like my dad, only A LOT cooler," from a college-age woman is a loaded statement.

Trust me...just say "Thanks!" 

Friday Music - Witch Post

You can tell how the night is going to go by the proximity of your concert buddies by the end of the show.

They were trying to absorb me like an amoeba.

Friday Music - The Hives

To the two tour guides who gave me an extensive tour of their camper in the parking lot of a Target up north.

Enjoy the fireworks! 

Friday Music - Parquet Courts

I have spent the week alone...with a group of women.

I do know how to vacation...

Friday Music - Freak Slug

I like when you rub up against me, as you make sure no one is looking. 

I just prefer the direct approach. Let's find a quieter place.

Friday Music - Blu Cantrell

I'm being taken out to protest by a group of friends tomorrow.

One description:  "It'll be so hot!"

My kind of protest! 

Friday Music - Samia

It's always fun getting an invitation to a graduation party.

What games are we playing?  We'll need some ground rules.

Friday Music - Steely Dan

The reality is really catching up to me now.

It makes me sad, but also very happy.

Steely Dan is a nice relaxer. 

Friday Music - Reneé Rapp

Another song I heard, played as an accompaniment to the day's activities.

It's a good beat, a little aggressive I might add...

Friday Music - Sophie Ellis-Bextor

I don't think you literally need to be on top of me, staring down at me, to talk to me.

But, fine.

The song's got a great hook. 

Friday Music - Doechii

Proven once again.

A positive attitude can get you benefits. 

A smile?  Even more. 

Friday Music - Momma

This is going to be a long weekend. 

Too many people pulling me in too many directions.

Friday Music - Frankie Valli

I like smiling.  

That's harder and harder to do these days.  Thanks G.

Yes, it's the opening credits to the movie, but the song is still pretty good. 

Friday Music - Yuno

Easter.

I'm about to eat WAY too much candy. 

Not complaining though. 

Friday Music - Wet Leg

I had to suddenly make dinner for four in a kitchen I'd never been in.

I hit it out of the park.  Lots of Oohs and Ahhs.

Now it's their turn.

Friday Music - Durry

I need a quiet weekend. Puzzle time!

I just hope all the pieces fit.

Love this band.

Friday Music - Tunde Adebimpe

Praise is an interesting thing.

Not sure if I'll ever get used to people telling me I'm the best. 

For the record, I think I do okay, but...I'm aware of who I am. 

Friday Music - Bourgeois Tagg

Been a long week getting back at it.  It didn't help there were some friends happy to see me. 

This song's structure is pretty weird, but I've always loved it. 

Friday Music - Los Campesinos

Relaxing on a beach with the beautiful people.

Recharging my soul... 

Friday Music - Gully Boys

Getting ready to jet.

Before I go, let me tell you about my girlfriend K... 

Friday Music - Thorbjørn Risager & the Black Tornado

Continuing my blues kick.

I might be outnumbered tonight 5 to 1. I keep telling them no, but they keep sending me photos... 

Friday Music - Sugaray Rayford

For the record, 20-somethings are really bad at innuendo. 

This is one of the best Blues songs I've ever heard. Love this! 

Friday Music - Lady Gaga

Valentine's Day, and I'm staying in.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

Friday Music - Wheatus

Going to a sporting event and having a cheerleader give you her phone number is like going to a play and having the lead give you her phone number.

Putting the 'super' into the weekend. 

The 11th Hour

Today is my 11th anniversary of getting sober.

Still one of the better decisions I ever made.  It's funny how little I think about drinking today compared to that first year (and my counselor back then insisted I was managing my recovery well!). 

Do yourself a favor and give up drinking. You'll feel better, have far less regret, have a lot more money, and you'll live longer.  You'll also realize how much the liquor/beer companies push liquor on you! 

Friday Music - Hayes Warner

Going to a sci-fi convention this weekend.  

My companions say they're big into cosplay.

Don't wait up!  

Friday Music - Definitely Maybe

I get an entire day hanging out with incredible women.

My life is pretty f-ing good! 

Friday Music - OK Go

This next week will be tough.

This music video popped up. 

How are these guys so much better than everyone else at this?

And the last line of the video made me tear up a little. 

Friday Music - Royal Tailor

Have a good weekend everyone.

Doing my part to keep winter warm.

You're welcome...

Friday Music - Alex Warren with Joe Jonas

Welcome to 2025! Prepare to hold onto the groin of the rabid tiger with explosive diarrhea as tight as you can! 

Me...I'm going out.
