Do you accept Marshmallows?

Wow.  Has it really been so many months since i've been on this thing?  I guess so.  The entire look is new, and now due to my prolonged absence, i figure i'm metaphorically just yelling "Shit!" into an empty coffee can, closing it up, running outside and ripping the lid off hoping someone hears it. 

Basically trying to say babbling to myself like i normally do. 

What you may ask could spur this magnificent presence back into the little world on the screen?

It's touring time!!!

Since i haven't had a lot of time to talk to most.... well.... anyone except my like half a dozen staunchest and most determined friends, you may or may not be aware that after a year long hiatus, i am back on the road with the Dallas Children's Theatre for their touring production. 

Yes, as you all sit at work, or at home with your loved ones, not loved ones, cats, dogs, soon to be ex-loved ones, goldfish, gardenias, baby powder, flat panel tv's, hula hoops, bonsai trees, superhero capes stuck in the back of the closet, open sores, distempter, sacks of weed, brazen disregard for authority, tweezers, corndogs, Datsun 350Z's, burgeoning bi-curiousity, dalmations in whimical fireman hat posters, all granite countertops, power sanders, dishes in the dishwasher, STD's, carmel apples, golden busts of Nixon, Unicorns............  Wow.  Did i get off topic..

Point is, i'm in the Hampton Inn in Jacksonville FL, just kinda chillin after loading the set into the venue.  That's how i be rollin.  Hope all is goodness in the universe, into which i shout

"Why, oh why won't Ozzie collaborate with me?!"

Oh the injustice

Wakarumas-ka?

Best thing about being a waiter:

The Apron.

Now i can finally walk around all day at work with my junk hanging out of my flies and no one gives me any grief.

Random (and probably untrue) fact of the day:  Sometimes i wear ass-less chaps backwards when i'm working....

Wakarumasen....

Have you forgotten? Will you remember? Will you return?

Ten years ago, i told myself something.  Ten years ago i told myself something that my present self doesn't want to hear quite yet.

I started smoking when i was eighteen.  When i started i said

"Well boy, this sure is one dirty habit.  I don't want to be one of those old emphysema fuckers wandering around dragging their oxygen bottles and smoking out of their tracheotemy.  I will give myself ten years to smoke, and then after that i'm quitting!"

Notice the tone of youthful exuberance that has since been embattled and has waned drastically after dealing with fuckers in the "Real World."  But, you know what they say, (i hope you do cause i don't) and a promise to myself is a promise to myself even if it is ten years old and heavy. 

Does the fact that the promise is ten years old give it more weight, or less weight?  Doesn't matter really, just curious on other thoughts on old promises.

Anyway, come Wednesday, i'm doing the push to do myself some stopsmoking.  If i'm a bastard, i apologize.  Love, kisses and nic-fits to all!

here am i, patiently waiting

I've learned to clip my wings

Nothing will ever let me love you the way i hear in the night.

Nothing will ever let me be the best person that could ever be.

In the night

For you.

Hello all. It's been a while, but then again I've been working like a bastard.  One shift at Birra's, one at Olenjack's, one at sleeping, and that's been about it.  Wanted to type something because it's been so fucking long, but now that i'm here i realize that i don't have too much to actually say unless i can react to your stories.  So anyway fuck it, i love you all, and if you need me i'll be dancing in the corner.

and soften my ways...

p.s.  Once again due to myspace.com no find issues, the music is Decollage by Les Balayeurs de Desert, the album is Jules Verne Impact

Unbeknowst...

to all parties involved except for one...

I Love You Monster

despite having not even one rehearsal

is having its first show on Saturday night at the Peppermill Lodge on Division St.

 A shock to you you say? To us too. Come out. View randomness. We've got three hours to fill, and only three songs half finished in our repertoire.

What'll happen? Maybe we'll get beat up by rednecks. Maybe we'll rock your asses with random comedy. Maybe we'll become metal gods. The only thing that's for sure, is that we've been bringing sexxxy back for ages before JT was. Visit Ars, Horatio and the Colonel for an evening of unforgettableness. At least until you get retardedly drunk. Then you'll forget.

Buy me a shot and let's all go nuts together.

Live music forever...

Is that a thermos or a sex toy?

Yo.

So, at the moment, i'm sitting in room 1102 of the Queen and Crescent Hotel on Camp St. in New Orleans. This building is about three blocks from the French Quarter so that's taken me some amount of time when we got in last night, and now this morning. Cool stuff out here i s'pose. I need to go find the off street stuff though. That's always been what's excited me is seeing those things that are the little real places in a town. That's why Jason and i walked around Shanghai looking for something off the path where we could just sit and chill and have a beer. I understand that Bourbon St is fun and wacky, but it just screams of touristy so much i could scream myself up a wall and devour a cow. Tonight will be used for that if we're not doing street puppets to drum up support and audience for the show on Saturday night.

Oh yeah. For those of you that don't know why i'm here, A Night at Miss Mimi's (our burlesque puppet show) is playing at the House of Blues on Saturday. Back on Late Sunday i believe. Anyway, rock on everyone, and if you have an idea of where to hit to for a fun time like i'm looking for, shoot me a comment or a message or something. I need to have me some kicks. Help me find a Bentley's not a Sherlock's.

I don't wanna be a lawyer mama, i don't wanna die

Excuse me sir, i think you just dropped your frontal lobe...

Hey.

People that read this.

Hope the holidays didn't kick your ass.

I'm sorry there's not much wit here, but i'm tired i guess.  I do wish though that you had a great bit of cheer or whatnot, and the best of this season (or any season really) to all of those that roll with me.

All indications appear to admit that this world is hungry for a taste of the Monster, if the response on my last blog is to be believed.  With this info in mind, i talked with Ars Grammatica (always a chore to do really, but worth it i suppose...) and got him to slide me some preliminary promo concepts.  Check this.

*insert frustrating hour and a half pause here*

..

*curse words*

Why the hell can't i get a picture to show up in my blog?  Everyone else can, i've tried it all.  Straight copy/paste of the image, of the url, of anything.  Fehq.  Sigh.  I'll get it up, i swear.

Oh.  By the way.  I lost my phone.  Yeah.  Remember when this happened last?  That was a much better story than this one, because in this one my phone just totally freaking disappeared.  So, the drill is i need numbers from all you lovelies again.  I know some people read this thing (i've seen the numbers) and if you do, i'm betting i'll need your number.  If you don't message me with it, most likely i'll message you directly asking for your number.  So there.

And you can give them what they want, you don't need a reason

The Monster has Landed!

Okay all, I have now witnessed the incarnation which is the band "I Love You Monster!"  It was truly a sight to behold indeed.  When at the studio last night, rehearsing with Joe on some songs while Anthony futzed around with us, we heard a strange and wonderous melody down the hall.  We floated down there to check it out, and found three young lads from England, who were jamming, and bashing, and screaming, and having a gay old time of it all.  After hanging out with them for a while, we got some information which i'm glad to here share with you now

I Love You Monster

Drums- Colonel Clivis Whitley

Guitar- Horatio Snitwitch the IIIrd of the Puddingshire on Tyne Snitchwits

Vocals- Ars Grammatica

Songs of Note:  Broken Glass Nose Baby, Automatic Monster, When Robots Ruled the Hallway, and Rat Bastard Lady. 

That's all i can remember right off the top of my head from that whirlwind night, but rest assured, i (and we all) will be hearing more from these lovable scamps sometime in the near future! 

Rock on!

fear the doublog!

Doublog:  Posting two blogs in one day.

*Definition Complete*

*Blog Commence*

I think i made an error in my previous blog.  I predicted my death at the age of thirty-two, but i remembered that earlier this month, it felt like i had a revelation that i wouldn't live past thirty.  I might have to amend both or either of these figures as i continue to age, but that's the latest on my personal clock. 

Apologies to all, but it made me laugh at any rate!
