Pictures straight/Gut crooked

I got all the photos rotated straight (I think). They are straight on my iPad so that’s good enough for me…..even though, my brain doesn’t work like that. If they aren’t right on a pc it will drive me nuts till I figure the glitch out. But, for now I’m happy with it. My gut though has felt better days. Just now, I finally got some relief from a gut that hurts so no sad gut pain story tonight. Tomorrow I’m looking forward to my first ever yoga lesson that will hopefully make my morning pain and stiffness better. I want tomorrow to be a good music day. Blast some shit out of this house both inside and out. I am going to try the ‘all zone’ feature on the new amp which will utilize 13 speakers at once and blast everyone in a 2 block radius some motherfuckin punk rock. I think some US Bombs, some Hunns, some Bad Brains, Slayer, and maybe some Circle Jerks would kick it off good. Sunday I’m gonna take my honey out for a little day trip iPod relaxation and love.

Loud Fast Rules – Magazine

I bought this a while back because Duane Peters is a guest columnist and because it just looked cool. Been in the wrapper since then sitting on various shelves and tables being displayed. Time to open it up and read it. I love shit like this.

Sometimes a BMF’r needs a little lip gloss

Sometimes a BMF’r needs a little lip gloss

I wasn’t feeling to whippy today when I got back from doing some work today. My best buddy and princess decided I needed some lip gloss and a necklace to make me pretty. Made me feel better anyway. LoL. Then she brought me her stuffed bear for me to snuggle while I rested. Sweet girl

Echo Lounge – Concert Venue (now closed)

Echo Lounge – Concert Venue (now closed)

551 Flat Shoals Ave SE / Atlanta GA

A recent quote from MC that went something like “This is the time to use the good shit”, stuck with me. Recently the flint went out in my Zippo, and as I was looking for a bic or something with fire, a came across this match book of saved matches from one of our favorite concert venues, Echo Lounge. Nice little silver box with a few stick matches left. Struck one up and relief for my Kools habit. Been carrying them around for a few days now, each time I strike a match I have a new/old memory of a show we saw there. We saw many. I will try to remember them but I hope MC fills in any that I forgot.

Nashville Pussy (my first time), The Briefs, The Real McKenzies, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Icarus Line, Toilet Boys, The Raveonettes, Betty Blowtorch……my mind went blank but I know we saw more bands than that….oh and Black Rebel Motorcycle Clu

We always enjoyed the Echo’s vibe. The cool little back bar with the comfy chairs and couches. Lots of fun memories from there. Getting wasted before Nashville Pussy even took the stage from drinking shots of jagermeister bought by “James Browns bass player”, walking to the next door take out joint for fried catfish so I could maintain enough to see the show. The Toilet Boys was a memorable show. Wild and crazy fun rock and fucking roll. All the shows were good we saw there.

We got to know the owner, Janet, who would often buy a round and shoot the shit with us, After she learned that I was a chef she wanted to talk to me about heading up a kitchen there as they did not serve food and it always seemed to me that was the only thing lacking at the Echo. I put together a nice little menu, made a list of what I needed in small wares, etc and took it to her. Never heard anything about it again. Only later learned she had been operating on a food license to serve alcohol but the risk finally caught up with her and was forced. to close the doors.

Happy New Year 2016

me and the dogs hanging out listening to Michael des barres morning show. Cold outside. Johnny not feeling too good. He had bad night. Seems better this am but a little Pukey.  I feel good. Bad night for me too after drinking two shots of fireball. Instantly killed my lower back and stomach. Went to bed early to let girls have fun and party. Got up before midnight to give my honey a kiss. She was grumpy.

Great day

Yesteday was a great day. I still woke up sore and in pain but got through that. Did some work and went through day, evening time came, I decided to smoke some weed. Normal usually but this time my mom was here! She smoked some and vaped. Turned out to be the funniest thing I can remember happening in some time. She is really a good sport and so damn funny. We all laughed and had a great time.  I slept better than I have in months.
