Just some small updates because I haven't posted in a while.
I went to Chico CA last weekend, and had a blast. Got to play harmonica with a few people and play guitar and sing for people in Bidwell Park for the better part of two hours. Chico is my kind of town. Everyone I met there played an instrument and drank beer. I will probably retire there one day.
After I got back from the Chico trip I went to a small kegger here in Sacramento. Where we arranged to have about 14 instruments all get together to form the largest porch band ever. I would have to say the star of the show was a lady who came by from off the street with a fiddle. She was amazing. I would have never guessed how cool a fiddle could be.
When I left that party with a buddy of mine I decided that I needed to take a shower back at my apartment. During that shower (I was pretty wasted) I slipped and fell hard. At the time I was laughing and laughing. I always laugh when I fall for some reason. Since then my left quadriceps has been pulled and it looks like I was shank ed through prison style on my back.
The next day I went and played 30 holes of disc golf and I've still got it. I was spinning Big Nasty's down the course left and right. My putting game was deadly too. I hadn't played in over a year, but I guess muscle memory is thicker than thieves.
Also I picked up that UFC Undisputed game for the XBOX 360 which is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. It is teaching me Brazilian Ju Jitsu. You need to get this game and play it. Do it for yourself. Because you're dark and you like blood.
I guess this isn't much of a post, but I'm bored at work and it works for me.
Good times noodle salad.

Take 7 minutes
Having just been through a situation with a few people who I will not out here, I realized a very important part of life.
When something that was very important to you doesn't work out the way you exactly wanted it to, you need to react. If you don't then the little reptile that lives inside of you is still going to react anyway. You may as well try to get him to react on your terms, rather than his. He's got big jaws and can kill without hesitation. So you need to teach him not to over react. You need to fully come to terms with the amount of carnage he wants to do.
When you try and cage the beast in your body. He will soon turn into an angry bitter beast capable of just about anything. He will sit around and plot out schemes taking up all of your day in pensive contemplative pestilence.
Until the day you realize a little too lately that the cage can no longer contain the violent animal. So you have to grab it by it's mouth and try to fight him off. But he is already so powerful and mighty. He pins you to the floor devouring you in minutes.
And now you can't tell any bit apart. None reptilian nor human. You walk and talk and act like he and him you. And then you go on a killing spree. Maybe you don't commit murder, but you murder a relationship, friendship or social contract. Because you've become an unthinking lizard. One so confused he knows only to protect himself.
When a pile of shit could best describe the highlight of your day you need to take seven minutes. Seven minutes of havoc, consequences free. Screaming at the top of your lungs the entire time.
The beast gets tired. Too tired to fight, droopy eyed he wanders back into the box willingly and forgets all.
You're dark dummy! It's the reason you sleep. Be Dark sometimes.
-AND SCENE!

My brand new evolving survey.
I didn't find this survey anywhere. I just made it up. In fact you need to help me create it. That's the twist on my survey. You have to add your own 8 questions to it, and pass it on. Let's see how big it can get.
1. What is something we’ll never hear you say?
I'm going to become a famous armpit model.
2. When you’re a rich famous millionaire your house will have one wacky room that a normal house wouldn’t…. what is that room?
The room of a thousand chairs.
3. Have you ever broken anything? (Promises and bones count.)
One time I signed my name on my grandmother's really expensive table. I etched it in with a pencil. She was so mad. So mad, she's probably still mad.
4. How close have you been to bearing children?
Uhhh, I've been close. I've also had a girl I was sleeping with become pregnant and keep the child. Thankfully she was sleeping with the father at the same time as me. That was such a scary time. Wondering if the child was mine. And seeing her walk around all pregnant.
5. If you could pick your parents who would they be?
Well I'd have to go with A Walrus and a Donkey. Sure I'd be ugly but I'd be hung.
6. If you could pick a celebrity best friend who would it be and what is something you and said CBF would do occasionally?
Hands down it would be Christopher Walken, and every Saturday night we would hit up a really popular dance club and have dance offs.
7. You’ve just been abducted by aliens what’s one thing you hope to get to do with them?
I hope they let me stick around long enough to do some abducting and probing of my own. If not I hope they let me steer the ship for a trip around the Milky Way.
8. The city you live in has just elected you chairman of the city renaming committee what are some possibilities you will put fourth on the ballot?
This town sucks.
Monkeyville
The Dark Hole
Move Away From This City.

Ok so now you have to add 8 questions to it and post it somewhere. Do it.
65 Questions and some bees.
Umm I don't exactly know how to put this. I just had to leave my apartment and go get some bee spray. There was a bald face hornet the size of a humming bird and 4 yellow jackets fighting in my bathroom. The weird thing is I didn't notice them until after I was done taking a piss. I've never been so scared in my entire life. I just hosed my entire bathroom down with Wasp and Hornet spray. That stuff kills quickly. In fact I'm feeling a little faint myself. I'm sure it will pass.
Two lovely ladies wanted me to do this survey so while I'm waiting for the slightly weird embrace of bee spray high to wear off, I will indulge them.
1. First thing you wash in the shower?
My chest, it's really easy to reach.
2. What color is your favorite hoodie?
It's dark blue and it says ANALOG on the front. I look like a thug in it.
3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
If I could even remember who that was, I bet I wouldn't.
4. Do you plan outfits?
No men can't be slowed down by such things.
5. How are you feeling RIGHT now?
I am feeling a little proud of myself for killing the bees. I was actually going to hit the hornet with a shoe. I had it in my hand for about five minutes just staring at that thing in the eyes. I'm so glad I decided to go buy chemicals. I would have probably missed him and been stung and bitten.
6. What’s the closest thing to you that's red?
A small capsule of Old Spice.
7. Tell me about the last dream you remember having:
My last dream was totally nut-tacular. However the details are escaping me. When I remember one part I forget another. I think it has to do with dreams existing in the frontal lobes and consciousness existing in the rear.
8. Did you meet anybody new today?
Do giant bees count?
9. What are you craving right now?
A shower. Where I will almost certainly be washing my chest first.
10. Do you floss daily?
