I think someone said that one, though. Because I didn't, and I would have. You're old though, so it's ok, you can double post. No one will hold it against you.

Oh.  umm...Voodoo Too???

Are you like me, confused

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch the falling sky?
Now cry to the heavens that watch over you
Telling you it's of voodoo
Voodoo Too

Roughly. I haven't heard it in a while. Hmm. So far away, so far away... Nope. Sorry. You lose.

Wait- You got QWNED!

I know it's not in the 'official' lyrics, but they sang it twice before the intro...Doesn't that count?

"Ghit houta here!...Gheit out!" I called out this morning in a half-awake panic.  Something had just crashed downstairs and it was the middle of the night.  Turns out the shelf holding our pots and pans in the kitchen had just fallen off it's brackets.  Wish I had audio of that.

You are such a loser.

Old people are important.

My friend let me flip through Colbert's book and I got this idea from the chapter on old people.

SFA, you are so smart.

Haha you will never be able to read the small print because you're so old! Mwahaha it's so evil!

This just popped in my head, and I was like "Hmm, where's a good place to put random stories... SFA's blog!"

So, a month ago-ish, I had to go to the school health fair. But our radio has to stop working. So after like 15 minutes we realized we couldn't make it, and Adam called his mom to have her bring a radio. Well, she gets to the school, and she's apologizing like crazy, then takes out this little 6 inch tall thing that looks like a jukebox. We we're like "You know, as long as it plays, I don't care anymore" and turn it on. Except it wasn't working. So I go to grab it, and it works. We were like "Ah, you must have to squeeze it or something," so I passed it to mom, and it wouldn't play. It was all static-y. So I grab it, it works, pass it back, we tried everything to pass it. We set it on the table so it wouldn't move, kept trying. I ended up just putting my hand within 3 inches of it and it'd play. But I was the only one it'd do it for. I took off my ring, my gloves, everything, still worked, nothing for anyone else. The whole time, since I had to stand there and work my magic on the radio so everyone was happy, I was like "I feel like I'm getting cancer or something. Yay, I get to recieve and transmit radio waves... Oh are you kidding me? I am NOT letting CREED run through me! Which dial changes the channel? Oh, wait, let me try to do it with my mind first..."

  Ah, isn't the Force great?  Pretty sure the professor on gilligan's island used the force for their radio.  Wouldn't the batteries have died the first day?  Oh well.  Random stories...OK.

Journey Concert -  So I bought two Journey tickets in '98 and on the day before the concert 'something suddenly came up' and I was looking at going solo to the concert.  I was like, I can't just waste the ticket.  So I showed up at the venue early and stoped by a micro brewery/bar nearby.  I looked around and finally told the female barkeep about this ticket.  She pointed out a knockout sitting a few seats from me and asked her for me.  She looked at me and said, "No, I really don't like Journey anyway."  Oh well.  I finished my beer and started leaving when another waitress from the bar said she would go.  Cool.  I gave her the ticket and said I'd see her there.  I'll be back with the rest of the story.

Journey Concert (part2)

I get to the arena and find my seat and get settled in.  Looked around and the place and noticed lots of couples.  Thought to myself, great here I am a married guy and this woman I've barely met will be sitting next to me.  What will I do?  What do I say?  There wasn't much time for reflection on the matter, as she showed up with a couple of beers.  We were gonna be sitting in the last row in that section and the seats were somewhere in the middle, so she stepped over the back of her seat, straightened her legs and slowly lowered herself.  Not that I noticed, mind you. 

She was friendly and thanked me for the ticket.  Not knowing yet what to say, I asked her if she did more than waitress.  She replied, "Yes, I'm a model."  I stole another look at her and thought...all right, all right.  I replied, "Wow, that must be exciting.  What type of modeling do you do?"  She replied, "I'm a nude model for the art school in town."  I nodded with a Cheshire grin and didn't know what to say to that.  She asked, "Why didn't your wife want to go tonight?  Are you guys having problems in your marriage?"  I answered, "No, no nothing like that" and offered some lame excuse.  I asked her, "So, do you live here in town?"  She said,"Yes, I live alone in an appartment with my cat." 

Here I was with a rock-n-roll set-up from hell and what did I do?  That's right, nothing.  After a couple of tunes, she decided to leave.  Before she left she said, "Stop by sometime and I'll buy you a drink."

October 11, 1998.  Journey was one of my favorites, along with VanHalen in my high school daze.  Steve Augeri was an awesome singer and sounded great as the new frontman for Journey.  I wish I could have stayed for the full set, but I felt like a tool sitting alone with every one around me huggin', touchin', squeezin' each other.   Arnel Pineda is their new frontman, so I guess we'll see how that goes.  From their website, it looks like they will be touring with HEART and Cheep Trick this summer.

Yeah, I saw them with Augeri a couple of times........ he's good...

There's a VERY cool story behind the band choosing their new new singer, Pineda.  You should go to youtube and do a search.  Sorry, youtube is blocked on my work computer or I'd pull it up for you.  It is way cool.  Worth finding!  (don't want to give it away!!)

I love Journey...... they're my very favorite behind Alice....... during high school for me, too...... I have some cool Journey and Steve Perry stories I'll have to share someday...

As we approach mother's day, I'd like to share this photo of my grandmother.  Her name was Florence and unfortunately she passed before I was born.  She and my grandfather lived here in Michigan and had four children.  I thought this image would be interesting:

I'm very proud of my family, especially my wife and daughters. 

Maybe a little early, but have a Happy Mother's Day!
