Greetings faithful followers, loyal friends and random stumble uponers. Welcome to the 2016.10.04 edition of DeadGuitarist's Weekly WCW Blog Series.

Woman Crush Thursday... doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it. Sorry this edition is late. I got home from the gym and had my power meal. And I got sleepy and fell asleep watching Independence Day ("You did not shoot that...

@_kettle, I forgot to mention that I also visited Petrified Forest/Painted Desert National Park. There isn't much to see, but it is interesting and pretty. I've also been to Redwoods National Park a couple of times. I've been around a fair bit thanks to my parents.
kettle:
Oh nice, the redwoods would have been very nice!

Saturday Fun

Although the company I work for has thousands of employees, in my office we have 12 permanent employees and one who travels between Romania and Henderson with some regularity, though she is supposed to be more permanent in our office soon. There is also one who travels between San Francisco and Henderson.

Out of the 13 of us, 4 of us are "musicians." As you...

Yeah...I may have dated myself with the CD comment. Most people on here have probably never heard of those before...😳

@floydian ha ha! I go back to the days of vinyl and 8-tracks.

To Serve With Honor

4

Veteran’s Day is five weeks away. Few companies give its employees Veteran's Day off, which is unfortunate. I think people, especially veterans and veterans spouses, should be allowed to take the day off without having to spend a vacation day or lose a day's pay. Most of the companies I've worked for since leaving the USAF haven't so sometimes I use a vacation day and...

More Pink Magic?

28

Welcome back to another edition of DeadGuitarist's Weekly WCW Blog.

This week it was a bit easier to choose my two WCWs (you know, always two because I can never choose one).

Earlier this week, the lovely @ivylina asked her followers to go ❤️ a hopeful's newest set and help her turn pink. I had already done that, so, the next thing I can...

Good call @deadguitarist! Not only is @lilymai an absolute beauty, with two sets over 2k likes and her newest set about to pass 2k likes...it's SO sad she isn't pink yet! You are also correct in saying there were certainly no teachers that looked like her when I was in school! 😍
deadguitarist:
@floydian, thanks!

Frustrated! 😠

It's 3 am. Work is at 7:30 AM ish. Not sleepy. Should I try to sleep? Go to work super early and leave early? Hmmm not sure that will fly with boss lady, as nice as she is. Go to the gym? Go take some sunrise photos? Hmmm, I could pack my gym bag with clothes (jeans, t-shirt, socks, boots, undies... I'm lucky that way......

@nebula, thanks, I'm already fighting the "nod." Early trip to the car I think.

@nebula, it was pretty rough in the morning, but I caught a second wind in the afternoon. But I'll be going to bed early tonight for sure.

Blog Homework: 3 Fictional Characters That Best Describe Me + Bonuses

Greeting faithful followers, loyal friends and random stumble uponers...

I come to you not as DeadGuitarist today, but as an amalgamation of fictional characters who best describe me, as requested by our esteemed staff members, @rambo and @missy, for this week's blog homework.

Before I dive into my innermost psyche and let you into a place where few have boldly gone before (or even been...

Why Have I Been So Tired on Weekends?

2

Lately, my sleep schedule has gotten out of whack on the weekends, resulting in me being tired on the weekends and sleeping half (or more) of the days away. Then being wide awake at night. The other effect is that I'm pretty tired throughout the day at work during the week. Not all of that can be attributed to me being a night owl.

Food Porn #2 🍠🍗🌽🍽

3

It's been a bit since my last food blog. So here's another one. This time, I documented the preparation steps. Tonight I barbecued beer can chicken breast tenders, chayote, broccoli and sweet potatoes. I microwaved the sweet potatoes, though sometimes I will bake them on the grill. I often barbecue chicken breast strips instead of whole chicken breasts because it's easier to control portion sizes...

@shinyarmour90, it's part of the gourd family (squash). According to Wikipedia, anything you can do with squash you ca do with chayote. Perhaps I didn't cook it long enough, but it didn't have the consistency of the other squashes that I've grilled. It was crunchy and had a slightly sweet, fruity taste. Although I probably won't buy it again, if I do, I'll slice it instead of quartering it lengthwise.

Prophets of Rage

Rage Against the Machine (minus Zach), Cypress Hill and Public Enemy come together to form Prophets of Rage and Make America Rage Again.

Here are a few videos and audio tracks.

This is one show I will definitely go see if they play Vegas.

Stay Tuned...

Thanks, @cockzombie. I mostly listen to heavy metal and classic rock, but I will listen to country, some rap, some jazz (though infrequently), some doom/black metal, classical, and on very rare occasions, oldies (as in 50s pop). Hip hop not so much. As an out of practice guitarist, I try to keep my musical interests open so that I can grow as a musician.
deadguitarist:
@hiptobes, it happened back in April. I learned about this through one of the groups here on SG. There was a question posed: what group would you like to see reunite? My answer was Rage Against the machine. A couple of people mentioned that Prophets of Rage was going to become a thing.

Hockey Season is Just Around the Corner

Ah @magnea, sorry about that. But I could have sworn I read somewhere that you're a hockey fan. My favorite hockey team is the Los Angeles Kings, though next year that will change because starting in the 2017-2018 NHL season, Las Vegas will have its very own NHL team. Still don't know the team name yet. It hasn't been announced yet. Anyway, I rooted for the Washington Capitols (Ovi's team) when I lived in Virginia for three years.
