captain_philYesterday was spent the remnants of the equiptment from my old truck. I spent about 9 hours or so on it, but it's finally stripped and ready for it's final trip up to Kittaning PA. Guitar class was fun, we worked on a tune called "Rachael", that I picked up on in an unusually short amount of time, I just need to work on the speed of it, but since I don't have class for a couple of weeks that shouldn't be a problem.
Now today's
You could be in a sassy mood, PHILLIP. You've never been one to shy away from controversy. If you feel strongly about something, you feel confident enough to stand your ground. Today you might take an assertive stance about something. Someone or something could rub you the wrong way, and you will want to send a clear message. You can be a formidable opponent, so you could impress others!
next up, a really bad joke,
Frog Loan
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the cashier. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $5,000 loan to take a holiday." Pattie looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name.
The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Pattie explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall - bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Pattie explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog named Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $5,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knickknack, Pattie Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
I'm going to have to take WMUL off of my car stereo, since the guy who produced "Grateful Thursday" graduated. Last night while driving back from guitar class, I heard the show that replaced it. Two college girlswere playing their picks for "hottest singers", which included Rod Stewart, who they didn't think was hot, but it was for their mothers. They then spent 5 minutes talking about which hairstyle they prefer on Lenny Kravitz. The station is like a train wreck. a really bad train wreck. WMUL also ran a commercial that said they are the universal source for Marshall Sports, No Shit Sherlock! I wasn't expecting them to be the source for WVU Sports! On the topic for MU sports... I heard a commercial for their homecoming, where the alumni invite people to "celebrate their victory over UAB". Ahem, the game is two weeks off, isn't that putting the cart way before the horse. The Herd might be traumatized after The Hokies have their way with them, or MU might pull off the upset of the century. Who knows until the game is over? That's why they play the games.
Post work activites this evening will be cleaning up the kitchen, scrubbing beer bottles, and otherwise getting ready to make the pumpkin ale. It looks like it's going to make "Barefoot Contessa" look like "Semi-homemade", since I'm not using canned pumpkins. It will take more work, but on the plus side, I won't have to buy any roast pumpkin seeds for a while.
And now... Since it's a rainy "Grateful Friday", I thought this was a fitting .
Box of Rain
Look out of any window, any morning, any evening, any day.
Maybe the sun is shining, birds are singing,
No rain is falling from a heavy sky.
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
Walk out of any doorway, feel your way, feel your way like the day before.
Maybe you'll find direction,
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you.
What do you want me to do, to watch for you while you are sleeping?
The please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too.
Look into any eyes you find by you, you can see clear to another day,
Maybe been seen before, through other eyes on other days while going home.
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
Walk into splintered sunlight,
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land.
Maybe you're tired and broken,
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.
Just a box of rain, wind and water,
Sun and shower, wind and rain,
In and out the window like a moth before a flame.
And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there,
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.
And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for tour hair;
Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there
That's all for this morning.....
