Waiting is the Hardest Part

today is the day before thanksgiving, or as turkeys know it armageddon, and i am one of the masses who will be traveling on America's roadways to see family. eventually. we are currently waiting to depart from my mothers to go to the great city of nashville tennessee. the waiting is caused by a sick horse. yes the same horse that threw me off of him about a month ago. karma? maybe. who really knows. the one thing i do know is that we are goin on 3 hrs for the delay and i'm ready for the open road. but that gives me time to chat with you kind folks. the thing i remember most about turkey day would prolly be when i was young and we would go to my great aunt's house in inman sc and after lunch all the kids would get sent outside to play by the adults while all the guys took naps and the ladies cleaned and talked. i never understood why you would take a nap on thanksgiving. now in my old age it sounds so good. since the vet is not here yet, i may take a nap and give ya'll a chance to tell me about your favorite thanksgiving memory.
and GO!

The Way of Life According to Prince

wow! this is awesome!

and you thought Prince (he qualifies as a deity) was gay. just because you wear pants without an ass, or a purple crushed velvet suit with puffy shirt, it doesnt mean your gay.
Prince drink!!!

King Lear's Best Man

when someone trys to shoot down your dream of blogging to the masses (or in my case the single digit crowds) you have no choice but to fight through. my "friend" blake does not support my blogging which is highly unfortunate. its a great way for me to tell up to 9 people what i think about any particular subject matter. its o.k. though. once i fight these tears back and can see the screen better i will be fine.

i know when i was talking to ol' bill shakespeare back in march of 1612, he told me how his friends told him "king lear was stupid and whats with this hamlet crap." and look at what we think of him today. yes thats right. i can't wait till 2460 when some says "rememeber that friend of the great meathead? he didn't think anything would come of it."

oh yea...just wait 452 years. i will be the bomb!

STROKIN'

i heard a song from the strokes second album "reptilia" today while on the way back from a run. the run was brutal. so cold. so windy. but five miles later i felt better about myself.

anyhoo....back to the strokes. i had totally forgotten just how good this album is. when thinking back to my bachelor days, i realized that this particular cd stayed in my cd player in my room for more than 2 years. it was my alarm and i woke up to it every day for 2 years. and i still think its awesome. every song leads so wonderfully into the next, and they all blend so well together. and the most amazing part, unlike most albums, there is no song that sucks. it will definitely go down in my book as one of my top 5. i now just have to figure out my other 4 in that group. list to come soon.

i say good day!

The Bridge to Everywhere

today, i consider myself, the luckiest man, on the face of the earth. because today is the grand re-opening of hammett bridge!!! no more goin around by booty to get to my elbow. for those of you not in the know, this is the bridge on hammett bridge road (wonder where that name comes from) just below riverside high. the bridge was taken down in march because it was deemed "decrepit." there is probably a more technical bridge term out there, but since i'm no bridge-ologist that will have to do. so for the past 8 months i've been making a 30 min drive to work every morning. but today, today was different. 15 min, and i was in the office parking lot. oh happy day. think of the possibilities! chocolate cake for breakfast? college football year round? dogs and cats living together? peta fanatics having a cheeseburger? well, that may be taking it a little far but this could be the restart of a good thing.

Meet Meat

i'm just a regular guy with to much time on his hands. but isn't that usually how all blogs begin? i decided to join in all the blog fun because of my friend paul (shameless plug coming) author of the ferdlings blog and also known to common simply as "King." (deities will be capitalized.) also his bro-in-law kyle has a blog (shameless plug coming once more) alcohol and pork fueled madness. the title says it all. i will name drop on occasion, mainly early in the blog career to establish street cred.
the picture is my penguin mark. he's gonna help me write this from time to time. prolly be a guest writer when i'm out of town. he got into my beam last time i was gone.
i do normal guy stuff, watch football, warm meat over an open flame, drink beer and bourbon, and light my flatulence when the feeling strikes me. i love my wife. shes the one who keeps me plugged into society as a decent human being, and is flippin' HOT!!!! i really like music a lot.
i would love to go into detail about the time i ran into tom petty and we got to the point and rolled another.... but we are out of time. plus it never happened. and i will not make this blog a blog of lies.
for now.
it was good to meet whoever shows up.
ADIOS AMIGOS!!!!!

it's my first time so be gentle, with your comments

welcome to my blog. this could be fun i hope. we will see what happens. i'll hit on a plethera of subjects. most likely with gobs of humor. sorry. its just how someone named meathead rolls. i will also probably not capitalize well. deal with it. i'm usually good about puncuation though. so here we go. WOOOOOSH!!!!!!!
