I just heard on The Weather Channel that Ike is the size of all the New England states put together. Dayuuum. He's taking up pretty much all of the Gulf.
Man! that is huge! Our weather alert thing just went off at work but I couldn't figure out how to make it play the alert. Stupid weather alert thing.....or maybe stupid me for not figuring out how to work the damn thing. Oh well that's what Google is for.

I was really down and felt like I had nothing to live for. I had the same thing happen 20 years ago after college. I called the "Life Line" to talk to someone. The call got transferred to a call center. When they heard that I was suicidal, they asked if I knew how to drive a truck.

Damn hurricanes, everyone's going frantic over gas here in NC. Just went to the gas station to put $10 in and changed my mind when the line was out of the parking lot. :/
I am going to make an appointment with a chiropractor tommorrow. I've never been to one before but I have a huge pain in the neck and it won't go away. I hope they fix me.

A few random thoughts:
Chiropractors are great when you need it, unless you have back problems and have to go every week like I do. Its still helpful though, but my back really sucks and wont stay aligned to save my life. A good massage therapist can work wonders also.
Good luck with your knee recovery handgunhips, dont skimp on the physical therapy. I am assuming you wont be at ACL this year then.
A dude i work with turned forty the other day, they bought a cake with black icing that turned everybodys mouth black. At least it was good cake and i didnt have a mirror.
Ike is a bastard and will probabaly bury my dads friends Galveston bay summer house. 20 foot storm surges suck ass. Heres a picture of his house.

Anyone have any opinions on this?? It's $20 (plus a few $5 or $6 beers) and I've been trying to save $$$ since I'll be spending quite a bit in the coming weeks/months... but I am SO tempted. I love the venue, and I'd love to see these guys on stage shredding together

So, I went over to their website last night just to see what the guys were up to lately... and I found out that one of my absolute favorite lesser known bands has broken up as of 2/4/08
Both of their albums are so great, they are fantastic live, and I was really hoping to see them at Roo one day...
^I agree with those two. I'd pay more than $20 just to see Nels Cline. It sounds like it'll be awesome so I say that you should definitely take advantage of the opportunity.

guys...please please please keep people in texas in your thoughts tonight. galveston is already flooding, and is expected to be under water for at least 12 hours after the storm. the worst won't even hit until around 2 or 3am. it is estimated that there are still 24k people still on galveston island...we could be looking at deaths in the 100's. they've even suggested that some of the people who stay write their social security number on their forearms with permanent marker in case something bad happens.
this storm is not f**k**g around...its 600 miles wide...

Since I have areally high res monitor and everything looks so small I never realized how HUGE my signature is until viewing on my sisters monitor right now. It's a little embarassing.
^^^ Rescue a mutt. They're more likely to do a background check on you than to convince you to take a dog you cn't give a proper home. Trust me on this.

well, galveston lucked out. the western end of the seawall actually contained the water, and the eastern side of the eye wall of the hurricane actually went to the west of them. which is good for galveston, but bad for where a lot of my friend's family are, around the baytown area.
i think texas did a great job getting people prepared for this. it'll just be a wait and see for people in the houston area as far as damage.

Thanks guys! The weather was pretty crappy last night, and I almost didn't go... but then at about 8PM I opened random thoughts to your encouragement and was like... "So... why am I not on my way yet???" And I hauled arsse out of here...
...and when I got there, it was sold out But I just stood in front for about 30 minutes or so, and this kid came up to me and offered me his extra ticket for face
What a cool show! One of those who knows what's gonna happen next type deals, or as the guy next to me said, "Pure Guitar Sex"
I have some pictures, I'll try and post some later... really REALLY intense awesome stuff, quite hard to describe

Hippie,
Hope all is going well and weathering the storm. As I was driving north to Denver at 7 something this morning, a fleet of electrical utility trucks was heading south to Texas.
Probably 50 trucks from north of Denver. I hope they get the power reconnected as soon as possible. I know that there is a long drive, but they are at least heading south. The storm surge sounded frigtenly large....

I guess this is best posted here:
From the Song: You've Got To Do It
You can make believe it happens, Or pretend that something's true. You can hope or wish or contemplate A thing you'd like to do. But until you start to do it, You will never see it through 'Cause the make-believe pretending Just wont do it for you.
You've got to do it. Every little bit, You've got to do it, do it, do it. And when you're through You can know who did it, you did it.
It's not easy to keep trying But it's one good way to grow. It's not easy to keep learning, But I know that this is so: When you've tried and learned, You're bigger than you were a day ago. It's not easy to keep trying, But it's one way to grow. -(Mister)Fred Rogers
Im reading a book of his quotes and have cried like four times.
