So, I've been driving huge busses a lot lately. That's pretty much been my whole week thus far. For the first time all summer I have been skipping out on social occasions because all I want to do is go to bed. It takes energy to drive those busses, man. I finally have a few hours to sit down and do nothing today. So, I think I'm going to go to bed until 20:50 (military AND bus time) so I can get up and drive another bus tonight. Once I'm done training this won't suck nearly as much. I think. I have been wrong before.

Gotta sleep as much as I can. Gotta charge up my reservoirs for Lolla.

You know what? I don't like The Mars Volta anymore. I just... every time I listen to them they seem more and more... I don't know... pretentious?... "high art"?... trying way too hard to be ultra-progressive and cryptic?... especially the newest stuff. It's one of the most annoying albums I've ever heard. I really hate how sometimes they'll be playing a really pretty song and then the end of it will kind of melt into this god awful amalgamation of noise blobs. Fuck that, man. Just play the song.

Where do fruit flies hang out after I take out the trash?

I just watched Passion of the Christ. What is Mel Gibson's deal, man? I will admit I really like the way they do Satan. But then again I always think Satan looks awesome. By the way, keep an eye out for the up-and-coming Satanic funk band, Lucifunky.

So, Ryan walks in today, throws my "Gay Men's Englsh" book in my closet, changes into an Iowa shirt, tried to find the penis squirt gun, looked in shame at our beer bottle display, and left.  I sat there a little while and it clicked.  The Lindsays are in town.  I think they might have given him a behavioral syllabus.  When I met Ashley's parents for the first time we talked about Slipknot and her dad gave me a double fist pound.  Ah, yes, my friends, life is good.

Remember how my balls hurt awhile back?  Well, they started up again a couple weeks ago and it got worse a couple days ago.  So, I went back to the clinic and thankfully I got a hip doctor.  He asked if I had strained myself lately, and all I could think of was moving amps and stuff.  He asked what I played and I said guitar.  Then, using his MD problem solving skills, he asked if I used a lot of foot pedals while playing.  And yes, when I'm playing I spend much of the time standing on my right foot, using my left for effects.  And it's my left nut that hurts and it's the left side of my groin that sometimes hurts along with it.  It makes sense.  He said I strained some shit I don't remember the name of.  I'm not dying.  No infections.  No cancer.  I'm just a pussy.  Next time you come to a show I might have to be lame and play sitting down.  Sorry.
