Your thoughts/prayers please…

My cousin Samantha has Retts Syndrome. She was admitted to Children’s Hospital Wednesday night and has been diagnosed with influenza A and RSV. She was intubated and is on assisted breathing. My heart is heavy and I am incredibly sad. So please keep my aunt and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

So…

It’s safe to say I do not have a walking pneumonia! YAY!!!! All I needed was a little benedryl and a few days of rest and I’m ready to wreak havoc on the world. I guess I had some nasty bug going around because half of the country is sick as a dog. May everyone get better sooner than later and be sure to harvest them nose berries.

Ionz149 – Pandora

Honky Tonk Ionz149

I started a Pandora station to help get me through the grueling work day. It’s basically a bunch of hill billy music. I’ve never been a country music guy but the reality is I’d be plain silly if I didn’t give ol’ Willy and Merle a chance. There’s a lot of cool old bluegrass too. I can’t promise you will like it but I guarantee it will make you wanna drink some liquor. Listen now!

I’m doomed… dooooooooomed!!!

Well I think I got the ol’ lung fungus growing. This would be the second time I get demolished by a convention. If you have a walking pneumonia, why on Earth are you at MacWorld???

I cannot sleep and it is now 1:07 am. I have been lucky enough to find Planet of the Apes on AMC. Which of course would not be complete without this. Them monkeys are pretty mean and like a million times cooler than the apes in the newer Planet of the Apes (2001)… and that cave girl is a hottie.

I am incredibly pissed that I cannot sleep, and I’m starting to think it may be all tea I’m drinking.(1:21 am)

(1:28) Alright so I’m totally hopped up on tea. I am looking at my tea and nowhere on the box does it say it is caffeine free. Dr. Google has also confirmed that Tea is not a good drink before bed. I feel pretty stupid. I’m usually in bed by 11:00 so I started to get concerned when my girlfriend was going to bed and I was wide awake.

My throat is so sore I cannot smoke which usually plays a big role in my early going to bed habits… so lame. I guess I will open and close my eyes rapidly until they become tired. I hope Heston makes a bit sleepy as well.(1:42 am)

EDIT: omfg I just saw a commercial that sang Viva Viagra to the tune of Viva Las Vegas this night is not going to be nice to me. (1:45 am)

EDIT: sheesh I am finally getting sleepy and I may have P.A.D. Wish me luck ya’ll I need some z’s (2:43 am)

Hot Toddy Time!

I’m sick as a dog and you know there’s only one cure all for these type a’ things. I am crossing my fingers and doing strange dances in hopes that it is NOT another walking pneumonia. That was the worst shit EVER! I wouldn’t wish upon the worst, nobody really deserves a lung infection.

Single Barrel Pimpin’

Secret Base doing things right in the 08

So far this year all toys I’ve purchased have been Secret Base. The Usugrow full color was ill, and these two are also. The Skull Captain has really rad colors and looks really good next to my It Came From The Sea and Anniversary Skull Pirates.

Skull Captain
Le Skull Captain is gangsterific with his hat, nub arm and rum bottle.

Space Patrol Space Barbarian
Space Patrol Barbarian is not so gangsta but I’m a sucker for the Space Barbarian (my favorite Secret Base platform, he looks like the creature with his helmet off).

Let’s all protest

I want more rain! Art Center cost too much! Country music kicks too much ass! Why is everyone so into Cocaine all of a sudden?! Hillary is the Satan King. I miss my dad… whiskey is my new best friend (strictly single barrel pimpin’). Why have two of my friends been kicked out of the Navy!? Heath Ledger?!?!?! Did he finish his role as Joker!? Okay good…

Seriously this week has been okay. All the random raining and work has kept me content. To top it off I have a few packages waiting for me at my mamma’s house (will post pics when I open). Everybody have a safe and sober Friday.

Chargers

Well they tried… now the city will act like nothing ever happened and the Chargers will not be spoken of for a while. Note to self: don’t eat at Seau’s.

The time has come!

To cut the muff… it was way long and I decided it was time to move on. My solution was a devilock or what I called a “filipino flip” back when I was in middle school. It’s fun and actually fits my melon, which I feared it wouldn’t. I did it just in time for MacWorld which was kind of a bad idea because it was cold as hell in SF 🙂

Usugrow strikes again

Usugrow First Color

Secret Base and Usugrow have done it again. This is the first full color of the Rebel Ink. It looks good next to my white one (makes me wish I had the black one to go with them). The figure is clear smoke black vinyl with black and silver paint.

McAlisters Deli

These people must’ve been trying to kill me slowly. Food is really good and prices are okay. Their baked potatoes kick ass, and look huge but it’s just two potatoes next to each other. For a while I thought they were growing mutant potatoes.

Chattanooga 2008

Pot Roast Spud, the gravy looks like paint and there is never really a good reason to eat two baked potatoes but hey… when in the South do like the South.

Chattanooga 2008

And what better to wash it down than their world famous sweet tea aka the diabetes maker.

Hello Chattanooga?

In a few hours I will be taking off for Tennessee to see my old lady’s family. I hope it’s not cold as balls out there. Sweat tea and pot roast for me!

Tennessee here I come!
