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...

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.

If I Knocked; Would You Let Me In?

Most of the things that I write about myself and my friends are true. Some are exaggerated a bit to get a response from the reader. For example (and you have to have read previous posts to understand this): I really am a perfectionist that does not take compliments well when, in my mind, I am under-performing. I am not really an asshole about it (superior maybe). The following are more truths about me:

I do love a good cold, frosty beer; but I rarely get drunk anymore (my wife might say any less). I am the King of (darts in) Okmulgee County and will brag about it alot in my blog posts. I rarely berate an opponent (unless they are a trash talker) when I beat them and take their money.

Bartolina's aka Bart's is my favorite waterin' hole. I had my first beer there when I was 15. I have lived all over the place, but somehow keep ending up back here in Hooterville. But even when I was living elsewhere, I always made a point to try and stop by Bart's when I was in town.

I am a football fanatic (BOOMER SOONER!), and can watch it most anywhere, anytime. Pop Warner to NFL. I am an avid Oklahoma Sooner fan, regardless of the sport and been spotted in Austin, TX (home of the neutered bovines) wearing Sooner clothes.

I am a gambler. I enjoy playing poker and blackjack at casinos. I play poker online a few times a week (I play much better live). I have never been banned from the blackjack tables for counting cards, yet. My friends and I will make prop bets on most anything. Chinese poker is my new favorite card/gambling game.

I have been in the computer business full-time for over 12 years now. I used to make computers better for people; now I destroy them for the gold and other precious metals in them for myself. Plus recycling them keeps them out of the landfills (they're full of lead and mercury).

I am really into making money (and spending it). I've made alot in my short time on this earth and plan on making tons more before I go skidding off to that final resting place.

Everything I wrote about my funeral plans (see blog post "Am I a strange SOB") are 100% true!

I truly believe I am a semi-normal human being. What do you think? Would you let me in if I knocked on your door?
