Why My Life Sucks

OK, I’m a geek. I know that.

But this dude needs to get out more.

On the other hand, it’s sort of impressive in weird sort of way.  4 part harmony for a single voice.  It is, well, odd.

Have you ever noticed how much rock music is about, well, rock music?   Either tributes to other rockers, bitching about being on the road or just plain about rock.   This effect is spread over a wide area, both good and bad bands do it.     It seems to me that this sub genre of seems to account for about 10% or so of all rock.

Not a rant, just a note.

Depending on your status as a normal this may or may not be scary.

You go to a mainstream church if the words in your head start with “What Child is this”.
You’re in or were in the SCA if the phrase “is all you know” goes through your head while you listen to this.

I heard this tune as I was driving into $WeSellUsedMacs. Of my cow-orkers , well, crap, none of them were alive when this was taped.

I need all of you punks to get the hell off my lawn!

AC/DC - It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll - .

Even allowing for Mötley Crüe’s suckage, the rock (vs the pop music) of the late 70’s to mid 80’s did, in fact rule. Heh, I suspect I’ve lost enough weight in the last 6 months that my old high school ear “Disco Sucks” tee shirt would fit again. Of course it should say “Disco Still Sucks”.

So, I find my self driving back from the shrink, playing XM 41 as normal.     A song comes on.   I turn it up and start singing along.

Yeah, so, why the going to hell?

The song was “Every Rose has it’s thorn” by Poison.     I can’t believe I

1) know that song well enough   to sing along with it and

2) I thought that singing along with Poison would be a good idea.

Poison, for crying out loud.     Back in the day they were the band we called “Poser”.   The shame of it all.

On the medical front, the shrink changed my Cymalta dose to 40mg a day,   vs the 60mg I have been taking for the last 4 weeks, in an attempt to get my falling over dizzy spells to stop.

I’m coming up on a birthday. A fairly important one, most likely my last prime square, but not a LRN just yet.

So, Yeah, I’m an old fart. What music station do I find my self using most? XM radio 41. “The Boneyard”.

It’s for classic metal,   things that sound like classic metal, and prog-rock. It’s target audience is high school class of , ‘76 through ‘86, more or less. It’s old music, or at least an old style. It’s mainly listened to by old farts. You would not know this if you listened to the self promo spots they run. You would think it’s for class of 2015.

Adults, as a general rule, don’t really have to make a semi-sexual pun on “bone me” several times an hour. That’s a twelve year old thing.

I’m going to try to post at least one post a day for the next year. I have to get doing something and this seems like a good idea as any thing.

Any rate, this is Albannach, a really trad Scottish band.

Don’t forget that the bagpipe is a weapon of war. This will show you why..

So I’m posting a bit more tonight.   Then I’m going to read Classic Traveller background material getting ready for my Mongoose Traveller game.

As an aside, I fully support Mongoose Publishing and their attempt at making MGT open gaming.     Their licensees are fair and easy to use, which is more than I can say for the Wizards of the Coasts current license, the GSL

Like I   said over on Fly Over Thoughts, “It’s All Carter and Clinton’s fault“

I don’t know if the bail out plan is the perfect move, but I do know it wasn’t GW Bush’s fault.

Who ever it is that is doing the song about ‘Sweet Home Alabama’, please, just go a way.  At least get of the internet radio station that plays in my shop.   5 times a day is way too freaking often.

Not Safe For Work, like any thing I do is.

This was sent to me by a cow-orker that was making a reply to this one.
