Nightie night, babies.Kisses.

Tell the story. I have to go to bed, but I want to read it later. Also, don't just put it in your blog. Copy that tasty shit in here.

Large part of my latest entry incoming.Then we start looking around at the other games they can play on the list and we walk past this video game ride called Typhoon that you sit on and it simulates a ride on a various things like airplanes and roller coasters with air blowing in your face from fans and the seats bounce all over the place. Since this is one of the rides that’s part of the 12 dollar play card it has a bunch of kids around it waiting to go on it. One of the kids sitting there makes the observation that it would be easier to sort out who goes next if everyone gets in a line, and everyone sort of files into a line behind the machine, my kids were second in line.So after the line is formed this little kid who was probably five or so walks up to the side of the ride, and starts watching. He calls his bother over and his mom comes wandering along too. When the ride ends the two kids who are on it go to get off and this new little kid tries to jump on skipping the line. The kids whose turn it was speak up and say it’s their turn and this lady pulls her kids back and tell them “You can go next” to which I interject “excuse me, the line is here, you need to get in it” and she responds “who decided that?” and I just look at the line of 8-10 kids behind the ride while trying to not come across like a complete ******* even though I could feel my anger about to boil over at this obnoxious bitch and I say “Probably the ones who have been here waiting longer than you”. She tells me “Well we have been here waiting”. I laugh at her and say “I just watched you and your kids walk up here a minute ago while all these other kids have been waiting at least ten minutes” and her brilliant response was “Well what about my kids?”Now I was pissed.This doesn’t happen all that often to me, but the mixture of animosity toward this over sized shit hole of “family entertainment” while being surrounded my annoying people was wearing on my patience. Unfortunately, I was surrounded by children, so what followed wasn’t exactly the best example of conflict resolution. I said “Seriously, don’t be a bitch”. Her jaw dropped and she turned around and started complaining about me to her friend who had as much business wearing leg warmers as Jabba the Hut has of wearing a thong. So Jalen asks me if they are going to get to go next and I’m talking to him about it when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn my head upward and looking up at a guy who is just about my height, and probably about 220-230. He leans into me and kind of pushes me with his shoulder and says “I heard you got something to say about my wife, why don’t you say it to me”.Now I got excited.Anger turned to anticipation. I wanted to piss this guy off. I stood up completely where I was now clearly a little taller than him and stepped into him pressing backwards. Speaking quite a bit louder than the hushed tone he used I said “You mean that ugly bitch over there?” and nodded toward his woman. He stumbled back a little bit and a hint of a smirk crossed my face. He got back in my face and said “I don’t like your attitude” and I responded with “If your bitch had taught your kids any type of manners I wouldn’t have an attitude”. He says “Call her a bitch again and I’m going to do something about it” and I responded “If you want to take this outside we can, but you better bring your bitch and kids to scrape your ass off the curb when I get done stomping your ****ing face into it”… not the nicest thing I’ve ever said to anyone, but I really wasn’t in the mood to be messed with and it more than got my point across. He took a step back and held his hands up and said something about me needing to chill out in front of the kids though I don’t recall what it was word for word because there was a stupid PA announcement going on that said they were closing shortly.I proceeded to tell him my kids were next, then the kids in line behind them were next, and if he didn’t like getting in the back of the line like everyone else had to then we were going to have a problem. He mumbled something as he turned away and walked around to the other side of the machine where he grabbed his oldest kid by the hand and pulled him to the back of the line with his wife in tow complaining about me. The 11-12 year old kid that was behind Jalen in line said “Thanks for not letting her jump ahead of everyone”. While my kids took their turn on the ride I just kept staring back and the bitch and her husband. After they were done we checked the lines for the other things and everything was long so we just ended up leaving.

Check out the kid I found in my bathroom.

WOW!!!

Evening all.

No, but I nearly had to insert my foot up some random jackasses pooper earlier tonight.

Hahahaha, Incredible!Seriously, nice job with that tool.

[bleacherbum3 9]

Damn, that's the year I graduated highschool.Hi.I called in sick today. Shut up, Henry, it's one of the benefits of working for the government.

Hope you feel better.And you are such a woman. A man would've called in sick tomorrow.

[bleacherbum3 9]

I definitely didn't laugh about this. Not even a smirk.

Me neither.

[bleacherbum3 9]

You didn't deal to them? I'm always interested in the gambling stories of famous people.

Not last night, but I've dealt to Adrian plenty of times.None of them play real huge. Peterson plays about $200/hand, but last night Knox and Hester were playing maybe $50-$75/hand.

[bleacherbum3 9]

Holy shit, it's St. Patrick's Day.

Unfortunately.

[bleacherbum3 9]

Vegas.

Excellent trip report sir. I loved the wheelchair story, glad you didn't get stuck hanging out with Tim.Also good to hear you didn't go broke with that silly 'bet against the streak' progressive loss betting system on roulette. I have busted many a player using that technique. My personal best while spinning is 24 red numbers in a row.

[bleacherbum3 9]

New thing: calling people chodes.

I do that sometimes.

[bleacherbum3 9]

I'm afraid I'm terminally boring, but I suppose I could give a quick life update.- Moving in with the ladyfriend at the end of the month, so been spending a lot of time figuring out those logistics.In short, my entire life right now sort of revolves around bowling, which is equal parts awesome and sad, depending on how you look at it. I like to consider it 100% awesome.

Congrats on the lady thing if you like her I guess. I'm with you on the awesome part. Still a part of the bowling world myself, I'll be visiting the Stadium in Reno on Monday.

[bleacherbum3 9]

I like the new look Scott. Definitely looks like you shaved some years off.

[bleacherbum3 9]

Time to grab some sleep. I have an appointment at the bar at 11am tomorrow.Night all.Hope some of you can enjoy the tourney as I will.

[dms26 3]

Check out the kid I found in my bathroom.

I'm not sure I'd recongize you if I saw you walking down the street.

[dms26 3]

Hope you feel better.And you are such a woman. A man would've called in sick tomorrow.

I'm taking off Friday, I was hoping Ohio St played during the day but they not playing until like 9:30.

[dna4ever 2]

Wow

THIS!!!!!!!!!

Large part of my latest entry incoming.

LOOOL!

[Nikki_N 17]

Now I got excited.

I'm having a shitty day and this bit made me smile. I pictured the whole scene in my head and it was awesome. You're like Michael Douglas in "Falling Down"!

Hope you feel better.And you are such a woman. A man would've called in sick tomorrow.

The first grade teacher I worked for a couple of years ago love St. Patrick's Day and always takes the next day off to recover.

Did you have a bunch of folks betting against the streak?

I wish I had a bar appointment.

Review for Tommy's Band: Ones To Watch 001 – Big Hell Releases – ‘Choose Your Delusion EP Vol. I’ 2009 (Re-released 2010)Tracks –1. Black Jack The Ripper (4:23)2. You Can Ask Me Anything (3:20)3. She Only Comes Underwater (3:59)4. Little Pigs (3:47)5. Twist Off Caps (3:35)6. Retro Control (3:34)Who – Tommy Rau – Vocals, Keyboard, GuitarGabe Turner – Keyboards, BassWhere – North CarolinaHailing from the creative hotbed that is Durham, North Carolina, Big Hell is very much cast from the same mould as TV On The Radio and The Coup. Primarily hip-hop, the production pairing of Tommy Rau and Gabe Turner weave dystopian industrial synthesizers, heavy auspicious rock and indie influences together into a fitting soundtrack for the backdrop of this ongoing post capitalist melt down.Leading the charge is the vocals of Rau, whose style falls somewhere in-between the hazy drawl of Tunde Adebimpe and the rap delivery of artists like Aesop Rock and Hymnal, whose work with Cut Chemist springs to mind.Political diatribes and wry social commentary via the use of allegorical references and twists on fairytales and myth play right at the heart of Big Hell, cynical postulations and conjecture pepper every track, as a wake up call is advocated.The EP ‘Choose Your Delusion’ plays on the famous two volume album **** rock of Guns’n’Roses own ‘Use Your Illusion’, whose posing play school metaphor tripe is given short shrift treatment here, heavily effected lead guitars are taken away from the artificial soaked ego of Slash and placed alongside more reverential and ambitious explorations.On tracks like ‘Black Jack The Ripper’, a sarcastic thank you to the President for ruining everything is backed by what sounds like A Clockwork Orange mixed with some alarming apocalyptic 70’s sci-fi theme tune.The TVOTR alluding ‘You Can Ask Mr Anything’ takes a more sedate approach with its free flowing change of direction. Helium induced samples, swaying lead guitar and keyboards make this a more laid back pleasant listen, though hypnotic.‘Little Pigs’ uses a more oriental array of melodies and sounds reminiscent of Wu-Tang Clan. Tales of stool pigeons and receiving dues are related over a more rapid straight tightened beat.The 80’s have swamped most musical genres by now, even running riot here on ‘Retro Control’, where teenage boys favoured films from the era, like Risky Business and Weird Silence, dare to tread. The opening line sample of the track I think is from the latter movie but its those Highlander dry ice keyboard melodies that really evoke the period, lending an almost too un-cool to not be cool dimension.In a way it reminds me of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs ‘Skeletons’, which also takes some un-seemingly pastiche and makes it good, charging it with some much-needed passion.‘Choose Your Delusion Vol. I’ is a resounding success, an EP that will rattle a few cages and hopefully lead to better things. Anyone right now who takes shots at the media and mediocrity of modern life’s political landscape with sneering snarls like these is destined to be sidelined for more appetising mainstreamers, yet they do manage to provide some slinky grooves and melodies, which could deceptively cover up their more confrontational agenda.A second volume EP should surface in the next month or two and a full on album, entitled ‘The Day We Dropped The Bomb Again’, is set for release sometime near the end of the year.When they can be coaxed away from the studio, Big Hell swell their ranks upwards to 10 members for the live performances, which sounds mighty impressive and has to be worth witnessing.It’s hip-hop alright, made in the best possible way and with the best of intentions.Dominic Valvona

His first album is on Itunes. I bought it.

My tongue has a pretty deep cut on it. It hurts. My left cheek is cut up, too and the corner of my lip has one of the little tears that stings. Also, my jaw is sore. I feel like I sucked off a garden weasel. I took a vicodin. I have only two left. This makes me sad. I have a valium and a decent sized pile of muscle relaxers, but they don't measure up to a nice dose of hydrocodone. Boo.

I really wish I liked hip-hop.I would probably give it a try if I knew this guy Tommy personally or ever talked to him or anything.

Um, why is your mouth cut up? You need a better dentist. Drink some wine through a straw.*Edit - no wait, forget that through a straw part. That's probably a bad idea.

[fryer98 30]

Glad to see your words, Tim. I miss your face, though. Hockey in Indy this month?

Nope, it's in Carmel this year anyway. No fun.

glad you didn't get stuck hanging out with Tim.

Nice.
