1) just what is the "unstoppable 1:05?"
2) is the sg/la prom coming up? how do i get tix? are you other folks going? it's in san fransisco only? (i've joined the "prom" group, but i am still confused, probably due to my damn tech-less self.)
3) why don't...

You know, I thought long and hard about what songs to pick to represent these gentlemen. Like Rebel ... first time I ever set eyes on that boy, he was 14 and homeless, wearing a dress and singing "Rebel, Rebel, you've torn your dress..." I was 19 and laughed my head off at him. I had to let him grow up a few years before I could hit that, but he was my best friend. I knew "People Who Died" had to go in there somewhere. Those are just the photos I have now and can still find. There were so many more tragic stories ... you are sober now, aren't you? I think I you might appreciate my pictorial more than the kiddies today, if that is the case. I'm still a damned pot head, what can I do? That's why I understand Fat Burger. You know what I left out for somebody on there? "White Punks On Dope" I'll leave you with that thought. And stop laughing!

That's a sad one, that new single.

Thanks! I will be having an SG screening towards the end of the month, and details will be in my journal a little closer to the time, so you'd be more than welcome to join the party. I appreciate the interest and the note. Cheers!
cineman:
Good to see you. Fyi: I'm not in recovery for anything myself, fortunately - but fully support my pals who are. Big congratulations to you for taking (and working) those steps - it's an amazingly difficult yet vitally important change to make. Much continued success!
i'm writing this today because we're headed up to the mountains early, spending the week in a little 65-year-old cabin we've had rented since last new year's day.
we won't be back until the day after christmas, except for popping down to an NA meeting christmas eve, so i can pick up my 1 & 1/2 year chip.
what a gift, huh?
i'll leave you...

when you are 50, it is probably a smart thing to avoid mosh pits.
now i have a fractured foot. again.
on the other hand, i played craps with the boys from green day until 4 am. they left far wealthier than i; however, they each have bunch of SG stickers!
more on that story (attn: cheech) soon...

I've avoided mosh pits ever since the steel toed boot from a crowd surfer that knocked me out back in '92. You're a braver man than I, Gunga-Din!
Speedy recovery to your poor foot my good man!

2. Hehehe ... didn't go to a prom when I was in high school and I'm not gonna go now!
3. She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew. So both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it.
And, yes, I do love that guy! First album is still my favorite and its like 25 years old now or something. Sheesh! Where does the time go? You know, now that I think about it, I think my money and my time must be dating. In any event, I'm gonna go listen to that album right now.
I said, "I'm so happy I could die!"
She said, "Drop dead," and left with another guy.
If my time and my money end up getting married, do you think they'll want to come back home?
I'm a bit slow sometimes....heh heh.
