can anyone still see mary as a friend on facebook or did she just block me?

She's still on my list. I contemplated sending her a message today but wasn't sure if she'd want to hear from me. Or if that would bother you.

I'm getting to the point of not caring anymore.Does her profile still list her as married?

Let me revise my previous post.Earlier this afternoon when I went to send her a message but then couldn't decide whether I should or not, I was still her friend.Now, I am not.I did not notice her marital status earlier this afternoon.Scott, I'm curious. Are you one of those people who when they're emotional likes to listen to music that seems to speak to what you're going through, like, A LOT? I ask because I do that. I find it cathartic to dwell on the emotion at first especially with the help of music but I understand that some people think that's absolutely bonkers and that it's wallowing in a pity pool. Which camp are you in?

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.

I had a beer, not through a straw. I have a very small mouth, apparently and they have to really abuse me to get the fillings done properly.

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

So, it's in Carmel, IN and you're not going, have I got that right?

Good job maintaining law and order on the queue Josh.

It's sexy when you say queue.

She unfriended me. She still friends with Raist and Denny and Danielle and Blue and Raquel. I can't see her profile information.

Correct.

[Nikki_N 17]

Well, boo. Unlike Goldie, I'm disappointed that I don't get to see you.

[Nikki_N 17]

Did I mention that the dental assistant girl and the girl that puts the filling in after the dentist is done drilling were SUPER HOT?!?The assistant girl was Indian with the gorgeous big brown eyes, dark shiny hair and fantastic skin. The filling girl was fair and freckle faced with beautiful blue eyes. I'm a perv.

[Nikki_N 17]

Why am I not in bed yet? The interweb distracted me.

[rocksquid 50]

I haven't checked facebook today, don't know my status.Time to crash, later all.Cards live, pots monsters.

Arrived at the bar at 11am.Watched 16 basketball games and 1 hockey game.Left at midnight pretty satisfied. Saw some pretty good upsets (Murray St. - called it), (Old Dominion, Washington - didn't call it), (Ohio - not sure anyone called it), a few escapes (Villanova, New Mexico, Baylor), and a few high seeds actually looked good (Kentucky, Kansas St., Butler).Can't wait for 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 meant because of the basketball tourney.2 people were. One guy got killed. After like 7 reds in a row he bet $25, $50, $100, $200, $400, $1000, and finally $2000 on black. Lost them all and ran out of money.I didn't laugh until he left.

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

I should check this out.

I can't see her but honestly forgot if she was one of my FB friends.

[bleacherbum3 9]

She's still on my list. I contemplated sending her a message today but wasn't sure if she'd want to hear from me. Or if that would bother you.

Really? I looked her up and the only mutual friends that showed up were Blue, Shaver, and the 2 D's.

[bleacherbum3 9]

Yeah, nevermind.I was more afraid that Ren un-friended me.

[bleacherbum3 9]

Night all.

You shush your mouth.

I was glad to see Ohio win, I only had G-Town winning one game anyway. Only one of my sweet 16 teams is gone so far.The poker tables were amazing last night too, not sure if it had anything to do with the tourney going on or not.
