Dimebag Darrell, too Much Beer and 18 Y/O women

Ah shit! Its been a long night....

The B and I started drinking beer tonight (on my lawn) and decided that we were going to get up tomorrow and go float the Illinois River down at Tahlequah, OK...Nothing big, just a three hour tour (no Gilligan, Professor or Maryanne) in the early morning down a clear, clean Oklahoma River....Shit happens....plans change.

So, we're sitting in my front yard drinking some cold, crisp, refreshing Budwieser's (and a few Bud Selects that the B-man is carrying around in the cooler bungie strapped to his bike [Suzuki Boulevard])...And we come up with the idea of hitting the river early and doing a little tubing....and drinking......Getting home early so that he can climb back into the truck early Friday AM and deliver you some of that overpriced $4.00+ a gallon gasoline. But, shit happens....

We make the three and a half block (him on the Boulevard and myself in my truck) treck to his house to check the tubes and get things together for the morning trip. He has more of that crap Select in his fridge and we begin consuming it...

Somewhere in this time his Brother-in-law's (ex b-i-l...whatever) girlfriend (mother of his child) calls and wants to know where T is... B doesn't know cause he had been trying to call him already and he wasn't picking up....

So Miss M and here 18 y/o cousin ends up at the B-man's house with us...We suck down the beer in his fridge and end up going to M&T's house (T had called in the interim....finally)...

Turns out that the T-man is an old school (though much younger) head banger like yours truly...We drink all of the beer in his fridge and make a run to get some more...

Somewhere along the way (or when we got back....who the hell knows...) T and I started discussing music and the untimely deaths of some musical genuises: ....Morrison....Joplin...Hendrix...etc...

Somewhere I asked if he had seen the pic of Dimebag in his coffin...And then he had to break out the T-vo and the 'Behind the Music' episodde on VH1 of Pantera and Darell....So we drank a few more and watched Dime do his thing and ultimately...die...

That kinda ended the night on a down note and I took the B home...Somewhere along the way we decided it was way too late (and we were way too drunk) to attempt to try to get up and head to the river in a couple hours...Maybe next week...

The 18 y/o woman....that's still up in the air....Maybe we'll talk more about that li'l cutie....later...

My Theme Song....Check it out!

Head-On "here comes the hammer"




Its too bad that Head On broke up. The guys really knew how to rock. The promise of one final show still has yet to come about almost a year after their demise.


At least their Myspace page is still active and this video is still around...


Here is the link to the video if you want to get it for yourself.
