This video I found on youtube is stellar. What I find most amazing about it is A.) It’s Woody Guthrie, B.) it’s video of Woody and C.) they are cutting a record outdoors!!! If you watch there is a vintage dub plate machine being operated by some guy in the left corner and going into it is a microphone sitting on a mic stand in front of the van that Woody is playing out of. The fact is they were doing this in 1945, where as now I could never figure out a way to record a song in the wilderness. Surely they were in some country bumpkins front yard or back yard and the power came from the home. Either way it helps me understand that gritty sound that is Woody Guthrie, everything sounds like it’s covered in a lil’ bit of dirt (in a really good way) and this is prolly why.

Gangster shit, I would be so pissed if I went to see The Daily Show and instead got Jon Stewart telling me my cable company is a cheap bastard.

I was leaving the Burger King after spending my last two dollars and in the parking lot were two black guys staring me down. I continued to look at them while I drove past and of the guys said “THAT’S THE HAT!” I stopped and said “excuse me?” and he continued “THAT’S THAT HAT MY SAXOPHONE PLAYER USED TO WEAR!! THAT’S THAT HAT!! OH YEAH THAT’S THE HAT!!” I concurred that it was indeed a nice hat, threw him a peace sign (two fingers) and was on my way. Made me smile though, black people rule.

On a completely different note while I was attending a memorial for a family friend who recently committed suicide my one black friend from high school had the audacity to ask me if I cried during the ceremony. He then took it one step further and asked “how many tears” did I shed. I instantly turned sour and asked “What type of f*cking question is that!” I then answered my own question by stating “That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Get the f*ck out of my face with that bullsh*t.” To which he repiled “I’m going to get some water,” and he walked off.

I mean this has nothing to do with ethnicity and more with the fact that this has been a douche since high school (he just happens to be black) I give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he’s just never been to a memorial service and doesn’t know it isn’t a crying contest. Retarded ass bastard.

I arrived from Orlando with about $480.00 or so in my cheching account. My half of the rent is $525.00. So I borrowed $50.00 from my old lady to be sure I had a little extra once the rent hit. I also had $13.00 in my wallet, of which $10.00 I put into my checking account (KAH-CHING!) Leaving me with $3.00 in cash to my name as well as $3.18 in my checking account.

This x-mas was cool. I got a few goodies that really hit the spot. My mother supported my booze hound fashions with a nice fedora hat by kangol (cockfosters trilby) and my old lady and friends supported my booze hound lifestyle with a flask, a sexy rocks glass, cigar cutter, cigar transport tube and even a Montecristo cigar. My grandpa got me a bottle of Cognac, which I have yet to try. I also got a cool pillow for resting my boozy head after a few swigs (it’s for me and Christy, but really…)
