Two Bad Dudes

Samantha and Paige

If I tweeted the old days.

In no particular order, here are some probable tweets from me in the 90s:

• Going to Boardwalk Cafe tonight to see The Keep. Heidi is a great songwriter and singer, not to mention, quite the beauty.
• Saw Himmelman at Ace of Clubs. Unreal. Out of this world! He got the crowd doing a conga line. Even this non-dancer.
• This girl from Moto Photo is hitting on me I think. She's pretty, but has a boyfriend. Could be trouble; I'll see what happens.
• Roommate and I know the truth. When life is tough, Private Stock tastes great. When life is great, skip the foulness of Private Stock.
• Manager of Ace of Clubs put me on the permanent door list. Works for me. I love that place.
• Working at a record store, I don't get paid much, but I sure do get a lot of free CDs and concert tickets. Works for me.
• Wooten Brothers are awesome. Tiny Grapevine Cafe is packed this Wednesday night for them. I hope they play Wednesdays forever.
• Why is the Nashville Zoo all the way out in Cheatham County? Jeez!
• Forgot to pay for my sandwich at Metro Deli on Nolensville Road again. Gotta go back and pay Tom. Cool dude.
• Went to a girl's house and we almost talked each other into a late night drive to Montreat, N.C. Maybe we should have just done it.
• I've got such a good circle of friends. I hope we never drift apart. I doubt we will.
• Record store shoppers can be kind of insane. That's okay, so can the staff.
• Drivin n' Cryin at the Bijou in Knoxville. Rawk!

Back to the present. I might do this again soon. 

"Young At Heart"

Samantha and I have a habit of dancing to this each morning.

"Better Days"

Some Links

I love it when my friends go to New York and take pictures.

Meet my wife. She used to blog a bit more frequently than she has lately. Her first post since the 4th of May is here.

Corey of the Webbspun Ideas blog is now on Twitter. See?

The Concert Blast! guys saw Ratt at the Wildhorse Saloon. Read their review here.

I always dig Leesa's photos so much.

Have a nice night.

The Middle Kids

Hot Day In Nashville

Of course I would shave my head the day before the hottest day in Nashville since September of last year where I would spend the entire day outside underneath the hot sun. I've got a bit of a burn on my noggin. Maybe I should have worn a hat.

In Which I Thank A Man Called Jeffraham

A month or so ago, my good friend Jeffraham entered a contest for a free scooter with the intention to hand the groovy prize over to me should he win. He and I promoted it as well as a couple of blogger dudes could, but in the end it looks like he (we) came in no higher than eighth place. That's the bad news. The good news is that it was an awesome gesture on his part and I was humbled from day one to day now.

I've had a rough go of it financially this past year and so has Jeff. (And so have so many of our friends. Jeez!) Hopefully, we'll all find ourselves on the upswing soon enough and be able to afford things like better transportation, meetups with friends, and, um, rent and groceries and stuff. Anyway, I just wanted to make mention of how much I appreciated what Jeff did for me in regards to the scooter contest. Every time he linked to the site asking people to vote, I was reminded of the friendship I have among all of these bloggers. I promise that if and when I find my niche and find that nice mix of free time and disposable income, I'll attend every get-together that invites me.

Just Another Bald Guy

So I shaved my head again. When the heat of summer presents itself each year, I can't resist the temptation to take the clippers to my head and shear away. The kids got a kick out of helping out this morning. Joshua held the mirror and Ari told me I looked good. Paige inspected me afterward and touched up the parts that I had missed.

Most people don't like my look when I do this, but I actually got a couple of compliments today. At least I'm taking them as compliments since I was compared to movie stars. In both cases, it's not so much that I really looked like said stars, but that a quick glimpse brought those stars to mind. Good enough for me.

A coworker said that as I turned toward him, he thought of Tim Olyphant in Live Free or Die Hard. A movie star? Usually folks just worry for me that the hair won't grow back. Very cool.

When I got home from work and was resting on the couch, my wife turned at one point and her glimpse of me reminded her of Bruce Willis. (Shall I link to Live Free or Die Hard again?) While I don't think I am nearly as buff as Bruce, I can turn a wicked smirk. I think so anyway.

Here's me, sporting my summer cut. I'll try to keep it like this for a month or two and see how many other movie stars I get compared to. Should I hire an agent to help me make millions? I work nights, but am available for modeling and acting gigs in the mornings.

It's All Good
