drawn under the influence of some serious noise
I had the pleasure (and pain*) of rocking out with InfantDecibal and The Vent Depart two local bands that played The Stable last Saturday. I really did enjoy seeing these guys play, I just wish there had been a bigger crowd to see them. They put themselves out there and played hard, I’ll post a pic of one of their drum sticks later. It is demolished.
*I say pain because my ears rang all day Sunday.
OH NOES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could this be one of those media driven events? I wondered that, what with the constant 24/7 coverage. But we’re like that as a people really. No worries though, knowing us we’ll be freaking out about something else in a couple days or so.

Nearly everybody I work with is sick with some malady. I just hope I can manage to escape.
I saw a breaking story today out of Arizona about a school shooting today (which hadn’t actually happened) which made me think about the way our new media works. It’s twitterific! The speedier the delivery, it seems that there is less fact checking. Which is why I still prefer to wait until the story settles into place. Otherwise it’s all a big mess of jumbled facts and messed up figures.
no not that one
Well, we had a little tea party here. I was not in attendance naturally. I don’t do rallies as a rule. I don’t like crowds, especially when they are worked up about something. I wasn’t real sure what the “tea party” was all about anyway. My basic understanding was that it had something to do with feeling over taxed and that they were miffed about the stimulus money and where it was going. As for me, I don’t make enough money to even pay in and if you’ve read this blog for any length of time you would know that I’ve been squawking about our deficit for a long time. So why all the rage now? Just now? Where was the anger when our deficit exploded into the trillion dollar range? Just wondering.
Oh Tennessee...
I’m speechless. Here let’s look at the last 2 months in gun violence and then ask ourselves if our right to bear arms supersedes someone else’s right to live.
well, for the college level anyhow
My condolences to Michigan State, at least I think they were there. Congrats to the Tar Heels. Now on to baseball. To me spring doesn’t start till opening day. It’s time to see what the rookies have got and if that trade is going to pay off. But the one thing that all baseball fans have on their minds is, will my team make it this year, or will they bomb like last year? C’mon Braves don’t break my heart again this year!
This dedicated to all those Democrats who are entirely too chummy with the GOP because they don’t want to lose any Republican votes for them. They forget that it is they who lost us Democrat leadership in the House and Senate here in TN. The new anti gun control laws? Their fault. The utter chaos that the TNDP is in? Also their fault. Why would you even put yourself out there as a Democrat (or not, in the case of local Democrats who don’t want to be identified as such) and take the money, time and other support from your Democrat constituents if you are just going to go all weak in the knees in front of a Republican and cave? It’s disgusting and cowardly. I know there will be some that would say “What do I know?” Well, I’ll tell you what I know, I’m pissed. And so are some other Democrats I know. So let me ask you, Are you a Democrat or a mouse?
