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...

molly and i bought tickets to see green day perform their (punk) rock opera american idiot in its entirety at the joint in las vegas on tuesday, december 7. but now she's neck-deep in an o.t.s. (office of thrift supervision) inspection at her bank, and she's determined she can't get away, even for 1 night.

I once took my cat for a walk. She was afraid of the elevator, she hid under the seat in the car, making my dad afraid she would go under the pedals, then she was afraid of the grass, so promptly ran up a tree and refused to come down.
Needless to say we never did that again.

Best of luck to you. With proper attitude, we can all get through any crisis.
i may have lost a good friend to my fuckin' stupidity. or in other words, how to ruin a great green day concert.
i want to use soooo bad right now; the desire, the want and the need just won't go away.
i am in panic mode.
...accept the things i cannot change...
