Turn it up some
Alright boys, this is her favorite song
You know that right
So, if we play it good and loud
She might get up and dance again
Ooh, she put her beer down
Here she comes
Here she comes
Left left left right left
Whoo
Husslers shootin' eightball
Throwin' darts at the wall
Feelin' damn near 10 ft. tall
Here she comes, Lord help us all
Ol' T.W.'s girlfriend done slapped him outta his chair
Poor ole boy, it ain't his fault
It's so hard not to stare
At that honky tonk badonkadonk
Keepin' perfect rhythm
Make ya wanna swing along
Got it goin' on
Like Donkey Kong
And whoo-wee
Shut my mouth, slap your grandma
There outta be a law
Get the Sheriff on the phone
Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on
That honky tonk badonkadonk
(Aww son)
Now Honey, you can't blame her
For what her mama gave her
It ain't right to hate her
For workin' that money-maker
Band shuts down at two
But we're hangin' out till three
We hate to see her go
But love to watch her leave
With that honky tonk badonkadonk
Keepin' perfect rhythm
Make ya wanna swing along
Got it goin' on
Like Donkey Kong
And whoo-wee
Shut my mouth, slap your grandma
There outta be a law
Get the Sheriff on the phone
Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on
With that honky tonk badonkadonk
(Ooh, that's what I'm talkin' bout right there, honey)
We don't care bout the drinkin'
Barely listen to the band
Our hands, they start a shakin'
When she gets the urge to dance
Drivin' everybody crazy
You think you fell in love
Boys, you better keep your distance
You can look but you can't touch
That honkey tonk badonkadonk
Keepin' perfect rhythm
Make ya wanna swing along
Got it goin' on
Like Donkey Kong
And whoo-wee
Shut my mouth, slap your grandma
There outta be a law
Get the Sheriff on the phone
Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on
That honky tonk badonkadonk
That honky tonk badonkadonk
Yeah, that honky tonk badonkadonk
(That's it, right there boys, that's why we do what we do
It ain't for the money, it ain't for the glory, it ain't for the free whiskey
It's for the badonkadonk)

I still really like....
...Rockn'rollmusic
Went to see Pinback, it was enjoyable to see a band I've loved since high school, even if I haven't heard their two most recent records.
A couple of thoughts are:
-They sound better in studio. I haven't really ever seen a show where I felt this way, but they put their stuff together meticulously, at home, on a laptop, over the course of years. And it sounds really fucking good. Live, they upped the tempo, added extra drums, and whinier vocals. So, not really amazing. But. They still played the songs I wanted to hear, and those songs still gave me chills.
-Weird crowd. A lot of semi-fratty boys dancing awkwardly. Similar number of sorority? Type girls dancing awkwardly. Lots of people with beards. I'ma shave mine clean off.
-The bass-player/2nd vocalist is fucking awesome. He's really really good. And watching him play some of the first bass lines I ever learned enthusiastically and with variations I could never dream of thrown in was a real treat.
I think I want to start spending lots of time playing music again.
2x 2L calling CQ New York. Isn't there anyone on the air?
-kevback.
ps. Real bassists play 4-string.

Another example of why you shouldn't be an asshole....
...Because when your banks go into a liquidity tailspin, international financial partners will not come to your aid.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/23/business/worldbusiness/23euro.html?_r=1&ref=business&oref=slogin
Even in the international financial market system, the do unto others idea probably has something to do with how folks do business.
When your G-7 partners call for greater regulation of corporations and industries, maybe you shouldn't thumb your nose at them.
When those same countries are asking for cooperation in stabilizing their own markets, maybe you shouldn't count on capitalism's power to fix itself.
Turns out the the global market really doesn't fix itself. Some people will write that it does, even in the face of this overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They will be wrong again.
And sometimes, we all need a little help from others.
Way to suck at diplomacy, you beautiful administration.
Another reason not to be a jerk,

I love...
...Frisbee.
I admit it, it is a game that makes me very happy because even though I am a huge basket case and can't stop having neurotic thoughts all day everyday even for a second, when I play Ultimate frisbee, everything else goes away and I can be mechanical and have pure reactions for a couple of hours 3-5 times in a day.
Doubts go away.
Nervous reflection on the immediately preceding moment goes away.
I scream fuck and shit and can be a huge jerk, but it comes from a totally uncalculated place and it is better to be a jerk in that moment, when I can reasonably apologize for it later than in a setting where I might do irreparable damage to a relationship.
My body does things I don't expect it to do, and that's really fun.
At the end of the day, I feel exhausted, but I don't feel tired
I will try to play this game until I am too old to play anymore.
That post was a lame post, not interesting or particularly funny or irreverent. But it was sincere.
Sometimes I do that.
Here ares some pictures of me playing frisbee.

Found Dog...
...Wirey, scruffy, responds to most basic commands.
Male--Unneutered.
Call Ann. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They'll say those kind words about me someday. When my life goes off track and my addiction to chewy foods gets out of hand. And you can all say you saw it coming. Because I wrote about it in my blog.
I don't blog about music, usually. Mostly because a lot of people do and a lot of them are jerks. But here's a simple, subjective, non-critical opinion of mine...because, man, these albums have gone a long way in keeping me from drinking more than I already do.
THREE POP ALBUMS THAT ARE GOOD START TO FINISH
1/Beulah- When Your Heartstrings Break
2/Kleenex Girl Wonder- Ponyoak
3/The New Pornographers- Electric Version
If not for these albums, I would have died driving from Illinois to Georgia.
Last note, I started tutoring 3rd Graders in Math today.
Two things of note:
1/ Third Graders are Fuckin Cool. Especially when their names are Galaxie and Paloma.
2/ (some) Third Grade Teachers are Fuckin Lame. Especially when they tell their kids that some are smart and some are dumb.
Bonus. I'm glad none of the kids in my class are this kid.
Y-A-Y, Yay!

holy crap, 50 posts!
...new record!
...I ate a cheeseburger!
And it was delicious. Interesting thing, now, after only about 2 weeks of not eating much bread at all, if I eat it I feel kinda sick. Otherwise, I'm doing much better, physically. I'm leaner, I feel like my endurance is up a little athletically, and my brain is not so hazy as it was the first two weeks.
Athens is becoming a little more liveable. It just...is. One of the ways that I'm having better luck are the small businesses that are becoming sort of oasis.
It sounds strange, and I don't particularly like saying that I'm finding comfort in places where I can spend my money, but I would be lying if I told you it weren't the case. Some examples:
-Schoolkids Records. I bought Stereolab tickets there, it seems to have things I am looking for, and I've been in twice to browse and not buy and the people didn't seem to mind when I did it.
-Add Drug Pharmacy. It's true, it's not the Weinery, but really, no place is the Weinery besides the Weinery. This is where I ate 2 hamburgers, cooked in front of me and a Coke, which, when I ordered it, they asked me, "do you want some Vanilla or Cherry?" and I said "(FUCK!) yes please". And then everything (coke, chips, burgers, stomachache) was 4 dollars. True story. And it's in a real-life drug store. These things don't really happen up North.
-283 Bar. Nice Bartenders. Jukebox with David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Fucked Up, and Built to Spill. 2 Dollar PBR tall boys. What's not to love?
-Rocket Salon. Awesome haircut. And they do tattoos. Rocket Salon Hair and Tattoo Parlor. Awesome.
So, at least I can spend my money well. Who says you can't buy 20 minutes of happiness at a time. Not hookers, that's for sure.
Sometimes, I with I had a farm,

Ain't No Party in the Police State...
I've only seen pictures, but it appears that the suppression of free speech at the Republican National Convention is everything they said it would be."Free Speech Zones", cattle routes, and police in riot gear. A few of my friends were on the front page of the Minneapolis Star Tribune (www.startribune.com, look up the slide show and video), being marched prisoner-style along a lawn.
I am so proud of them. And everyone else who marched. Not necessarily because I think the party is the most productive thing to protest, but because I think they are extraordinarily brave to risk their bodies in speaking their minds.
awed,
