friday's answers

tonight we play at the eagle's club, it's only been 2 weeks since we last played, yet it seems like forever and a day when we are playing well and having fun. i've been playing bass at home alot while working on the 15FTW stuff, 13 more songs to go. i also spent one night doing some sample recording with a guy who i will talk more about later when the details are more solid. a little different style of country than i've been playing bass on, but i picked it up pretty quick.

i get alot of email questions from people who don't want to post them in the comments because they think i may not want to answer it in public. personally, i don't care what you post in the comments. but, my mother does occasionally read this blog, and the VERY FEW comments i have deleted were not necessarily that bad to me, i just didn't want to listen to my mother complain about them. so basically, feel free to ask or write about whatever you want in the comments. one of three things will most likely happen. i will answer it here, i will send you an email, or, i might ignore/delete it. but i know i have not deleted more than maybe three in the year and a half i've done this, and i can't think of a single question asked here on the blog that i didn't answer eventually.

the privately emailed questions? now that's a different subject. i have been asked alot of uncanny things. and while most were not offensive, they happened to be about the few things that i will not talk about here on this blog. like the guy who found my website searching for tucker max stuff who is convinced that i must have just as many good stories about the "relationships" i've been in, no matter how "brief", due to my supposed lifestyle and being the only single guy in a rock band. while this may be true, it's one of those things i don't feel the need to write about. i've done alot of stupid AND hilarious things in my life, most end up being written here, just not THOSE stories.

this next partial email (to protect the um, innocent. you know who you are, naughty girl!) was from yesterday.

Thanks for the email. I'll add you into my address book. I get some pretty disgusting emails that I would love to send your way.

i realise that i present myself as somewhat of a male pig who does whatever he wants whenever he wants, which is pretty much true. (although i think i am MUCH more handsome than any pig i've seen) the thing that makes me different from the rest of the human swine family is that i don't do whatever i want, whenever i want, no matter who it hurts. i've never intenionally hurt anyone, and most of my time i spend helping my friends. so yeah, when i get a chance to do something i really want to do, i do it! that's the stuff that usually ends up on this blog. with pictures. and police records to prove it. and the lindsey lohan thing? as the email above offers, i'm all for looking at disgusting things. once. i was just tired of deleting emails that said LOOK! when i wrote that. i saw it one time, that was enough. and to whoever asked me for a link to it, no. i'm sure pedoogle.com (google for pedophiles) will be glad to help you out.

so on to some questions:

You don't want kids, yet you named your motorcycle "Baby"? And, I hear you got your ears pierced!

--the motorcycle was named that by my roommate (rogers) in college. he didn't have a girlfriend when he first bought it, so he figured it was his "babe". as to what he might have been doing with it out in the parking lot on those dark lonely nights, i have no idea. but i did have thorough blood tests done for any potential std's when i got it from him a few years ago. and i've never actually said i didn't want kids, i've just never been in a hurry to have them. i've made it this far in life without growing up, and i'm pretty sure having kids would require me to do just that. and earrings? yes. both ears. but don't tell my mum. she doesn't know yet, and right now i'm actually considered one of her good kids as she is still mad at my sister. so don't ruin my once a decade respite from being constantly reminded that i wasn't raised to act like this by telling her.


Have you heard of double knots?

--yes, but i have not been checked out by the safety officer on those yet, so i'm not allowed to use them for fear of hurting myself and others.


Nothing to do with this post, but you sound like you can be a nice and intelligent and person. So why don’t you get your head out of your ass, slow down on drinking , quit taking the pills that make you fell good temporarily and stop talking about woman like thay are trash and start living before your DEAD. “good luck”

--very good advice, indeed! though i've not said much about it here, that is in fact what i've been working on the last 8 months. and things are going quite well. i have been spending lots of quality time with a very good drug and alcohol counselor, who does happen to read this blog to check up on me, so every one say "hi karen"! i do get a little nervous every time we chat that she goes through a whole legal size notepad like she's writing a thesis on the effects of our declining civilization brought about by my mere existence on this mortal coil we call earth. i think it's just a coincidence.


How is the Mustang doing, and how about sharing that Lindsey Lohan link?

--it's doing good, nothing but the throttle and gear shifter work, but luckily there are no vehicle inspections in montana. and the link? see above.

I also know Hank, and he really does have a great sense of humor. I don't think Hank has a mean bone in his body. He may be strange at times (ha ha) but he has a big heart. Also being a female I have never been offended by anything he has said. Thanks Hank for all the smiles and laughs!

--that's what i do best!

here's my question: who the heck is jay farrar?
