blah blah blog

 Yap yap yap. That's what prompted my blog today. Krista (I love ya baby!) hounded me to blog until I finally had to do it. Of course, my netscape for the mac wouldn't work, so I had to open the dreaded IE to do it. I've been assimilated.

What to "blog" about...

I guess I can say that I've started a new band called 'Jet Black Jane' (sounds like a type of heroin, but it's not. "Yo, Huggy Bear, you got that Jet Black Jane, Braugh?") and will have this group ready to perform by early March. We'll be playing original rock & roll and some covers. I really like the band-thing - can't imagine life without it. It's been over a year since my last band, The Kelvins, played a show, so I'm really eager to get things going. Thanks to my old drummer, Jay Wood, I was set back several months. Jay, you're either a cock or you're truly under the spell of your girlfriend - I don't know which is worse. Hell, either way, you're kind of a cock.

My daughter Maia is growing up. She'll be 3 soon, so not growing up in the "Give me the keys and stay out of my fucking room, dad" sense, but in the sense that she's starting to develop her personality. Let's hope that Drama Queen Princess Thrower-of-Fits doesn't become the personality she carries on into adulthood. "Lee-mee alone!" (accompanied by a furrowed brow and poking lower lip) is no way to react to an order from mom or dad. She's so damned cute, though, that I can't help but ask myself 'should I leave her alone now?' when she does it. Damn.

I'll be starting my second semester at community college next week. This upholds a longtime tradition in my life of attending community college, that began in 1986. Yep, 1986. I still haven't gotten a degree yet, but this time I'll be finishing what I've started. Thankfully, I've been able to retain credits from FOUR such stints, so all of my accumulated credits are intact and working for me. This past semester was great - I ended up with three 'A's and a 'B'. Not too shabby. I owe much of it to Krista for compelling me to return to school. The big difference (aside from an actually supportive wife) is that I have a plan for the degree. I'll be teaching high school english. I can't wait to take those teen brains and bend them to my will...

Snow sucks.

I need to try harder to stop smoking.

I'll be 40 this year. FUCK.

That's my blog for today!
