The 40-Year-Old Vermin


Damn you.


Grandma, Dad, and Mom left this world through the gap years.

My inheritance from Dad:
Gwen and Sim




Quite a lot has transpired in the *checks notes* EIGHT YEARS?! since I last published on this platform. Obama left, the masses elected the "you're FIRED!" guy, the human race endured a pandemic, and partway through the work-from-home era we elected the former vice president to the first African-American president at the tender age of 77. 

THAT'S POLITICS, BABY.

I wanted to cement things on this Alphabet server since I've half-assedly abandoned the Artist Formerly Known as Twitter which I had been using as a digital diary of hastily photoshopped pictures of interesting things along my journal through life. Side note: when the hell did LiveJournal go full Russki?

This timeline, man.

Here are just a couple of bangers(sigh) from the past five days. 


NOT MY GOD


Skold and Co. made a return to the area once again. This is Tim's third appearance in just the past 15ish months. Three different acts. Man hustles and I absolutely respect that. I remember at the SKOLD show over the summer the promoter told the crowd Tim would be back soon. Thought I misheard him but no, was not expecting Tim to return with Nero and bring their electronic/industrial act NOT MY GOD to the fine folks of Overland Park. Knew I was going to have a nice night when in front of the merch area there was suspension play happening just...there, right there.  Death LovesVeronica said it best, "You guys have a cool scene./s" 

SPARK AND SPARK!!

The audio was not the best for the acts including I thought the main hitter at times but man SNAKES OF RUSSIA had that shit cranked to 11. At one point I just closed my eyes and thought fuck, I feel entombed, drugged, and want to die feeling like this(is this why people go to raves). That one-man sound factory won me over that night and I still can't make sense of why I didn't grab something from his merch section. I took a second glance at his merch on the way out the door but in the end, I just left. Seriously might just support his Bandcamp page. Good shit.

WAYBACK MACHINE KILLER TOUR


Click Click BOOM

I don't think I've ever felt so insulted by every goddamn act at this show. Their constant reminders that we're all fucking old and I can't believe you people want to see this shit on a weekday(oh, the humanity) but thank you guys for seeing our shit. Surprised no one was selling aspirin at the merch tables.

I wanted to live in my illusion that I'm still fifteen and I can't believe the people that are on Music Television talking about Shit Lifes, Benders, and Love Dumps are in my town altogether, and want to rock the fuck out for us. Tsk Tsk. Not without their unwanted assertions of age. Look, I'm glad you're not dead but can we commence the Death Trip. On second thought....

Is St. Louis about to abrupt in flames?





Annual "Hey, are you busy this weekend?" punch card fulfilled.

=====================================

One question: What took you so long?

=================================

Fuck an XBOX.

=================================


Maria stumbled across my original copy of Link's Awakening. I about cried as nostalgia assaulted my senses.

==================================

THRIFT SIGHTINGS

Renewed my driver's license then treated everyone to thrift store shopping. Exp. 2017; I expect flying cars by then.

If you squint your eyes, this older lady appears to be holding some liquor and grabbing at her crotch.

OH NOOOO!
SNL's Mr. Bill found another gig as a ball lovin' clown.

============================================
CPU CRITICAL!!
After emergency surgery earlier this year, sad to say, my q6600 painfully succumbed to failure. 

Good night sweet prince.


NERD HQ to the rescue.

i7-2600k
ASUS P8Z68-V
Corsair Vengeance Series 8GB DDR3-1600
Corsair H60

Under Vermilion Skies / The Last of the Dreamers

So it goes...

MARIA'S BIRTHDAY
It happens to land on Valentine's Day so I had to combine decorations.
Like my cake writing skills?
Nailed it!
Like a boss...cake boss...oh!!
I'll shut up now.


I got Maria the LBP2 collector's thingy and she just had to outdo me and create the Pod Computer. Well that's Maria for you.
=============================
MARIA AND HER MOM'S B-DAY DINNER MOMENTS FROM YESTERDAY

Kids

Tamest and (only) pit bull I've ever encountered.

Her nephew came after spending all day at Naka-Kon with a gift for Maria. Hard to believe they had something Maria doesn't already own. Maria then preceded to scorn me for not wanting to go Friday.
:/
Needless to say, I slept on the couch last night.

============================================

That was fine....

Mark was here whoring himself out on justin.tv

=========================

RANTS


SunFresh shot a commercial at our store Friday to promote Reward Bucks. Fuck that, I'd rather save on gas with Chopper. I saw 3.04gal prices yesterday.
Funny listening to the director, "BIG SMILES, YOU'RE SAVING MONEY!".



Ok, enough with the mythical branding!
...but it does smell good.

I need to find you, Mr. 36 pack.


Splurged on a new camera....digging the results.
=============================

Had my first Papa Murphy's pizza.

I always had the notion of "wtf, I aint about to spend cash on something I have to bake myself. Fuck that shit."

Whole heartedly take that all back now. The benefit is the freshness and saving cash on delivery charge and not helping pay Pizza Hut's gas oven bill.

Halloween 2010 [HUGE PHOTOS ALERT!!]


I liked my little cake! It had everything inside it but the kitchen sink.



Sgt. Mario made a surprise visit at 2 in the morning to wish me a happy birthday.

============================================


Apparently a troupe of Gilligan's Island folks were in to deposit their checks at the bank and entertained us with their theme song while waiting in line.

======================================


Mark was super excited to join this guy on XBOX he's been stalking on Justin.tv

Now I can't get enough of watching his streams.


Ran across this cat with the best and/or most annoying ass gamer tag ever. It felt like an in-game advertisement. I think I've stumbled upon a new marketing adventure. Payday!

===================================


DUCKS!!!


Mario lika da spicy meatballs!!











Hiding behind the trees, watching the kids play.


DEAD PREZ

Break dance Mario!


:( Never again.

Holy fuck, chupacabra!!




Peace out Mario!
=====================================



The next night Mario handed out candy from the porch.

I wasn't allowed any. :(
