elvis is dead

hopefully everyone had a great christmas, because i sure did. and if you didn't get a christmas card from me, don't feel left out. i didn't send anyone a card. i didn't want to show favoritism, so i neglected EVERYONE! at work today i had to go do a "random" drug test with some of the other guys in the shop. and by random, i mean: we've only had three tests so far, and i'm the only one that has to go to all three. are they implying something? because, i don't need a test to know i take drugs.

as a follow-up to my answer on a previous question concerning dating, i will say things have been looking up, here is a picture of the lucky chic:
i'd tell you her name, but things have not progressed so far as to need to know each other's names yet. but i'm hopefull it will make it to the next level!

here ya go:

1 Are you sure you didn't mean "UN" lucky chic? hehe

well, there is that. i've seen me naked, and i MIGHT have a few issues to deal with.......

2: knowing Hank, he dated them both at the same time, and they just both found out.

i've never made one chic happy, why would i want two women pissed at me at the same time?

3. Carl looks a little gay.

how about i give him your address?

4. Wow, a Marshall and actual twin guitars?

yep.

5. I've seen Hank play both of those at the same time. He's a rock star. Would you like his autograph?

umm, is this a paternity case?

6. Since your profile says you are in fasion, are cut-off jeans really out of style, and how do you keep from getting pills on sweaters?

unless you are daisy duke, and i know you are not, do not EVER wear cut-off jeans! and pills on sweaters? they make electric shavers just for this, they are slow, not much faster than using a regular razor. just make sure you turn your sweaters inside out when you wash them.

7. Feel free.

i do.

8. How did you get access to my home-video collection?

maybe you should ask your girlfriend this question?

9. How many songs does it take to play for a whole night, and do you play them more than once?

i'm not sure how many songs we play, probably close to 200. and if someone hot asks, yes we play them more than once.

10. How come you never capitalise anything?

i'm male, and i'm lazy.

any more questions?

cleanliness is next to ...............

see what soap and water (and a suit) can do for the 'ol hankmeister?

update's

ok, i switched to the new blogger software, so any conributors to my blog's will have to update when you log in. other than that, it's been a pretty quiet week so far, but it's about to get busy for the weekend. which is a good thing. it keeps me busy and entertains my multiple personalities, because nothing good comes from me being bored. that i have learned the hard way. anyway, i will be back later to answer the questions i didn't get to last week.

i know.

yes, i've read the emails, what's up, how was your trip, when are you going to post again, this place is getting boring, did your dog really hump the neighbor lady again..........

all of which are very good questions. and i guess i better get to answering some of them as snowboarding season starts in 2 days, which will significantly cut into my few weekend moments to play on the 'net and post romantic interludes and confess my dirty deeds from the previous week. i'm not sure if i had a point there or not.

anyways, i'll be back later today to answer all the above questions plus any in the comments that i have not got to yet. right now, i'm off to find some hazelnut coffee.

here we go:

the trip was long and boring, luckily i had plenty of dvd's to watch as i drove down the interstsate, and yes, i know that is dangerous/illegal, but really, it's the least of my many bad habit's. i started watching season one of the hbo show six feet under, and i think i am totally in love with the brenda character. the rest of the show is great, too. just a few more episodes left in season one, then i'm off to season two.

i did take some pictures while in missouri, unfortunately not any at my sister's wedding. mainly because i was 2 hours late getting there. but, i promise i will get some photo's and post them just for you anita!

we played at the festival of tree's last weekend, and it was definitely the biggest crowd we have ever ran off. we started with over 400 people, and within an hour there was about 50. but it was late when we started playing. oh well. i did get to try out my new amp, it's a hughes and kettner, don't remember the model at the moment, but i liked it, just need more time to get it dialed in. from playing it that night i think i will be using it out on the road instead of lugging my marshall and all the rack stuff it needs to get a semi-clean sound. unless, of course, we are playing something outdoors where we can play all rock, then i will bring it and the 4x12 cab as it has the sweetest overdrive tone.

and let's see, someone asked how the dating scene was going, and i must say it has pretty much sucked lately. the random encounters with new people have been great, but the actual "date's" have pretty much all been bad, bad, bad. and with the office christmas party coming up next week, it looks like once again i will be ordering a chic from whores-R-us to accompany me. which reminds me, i better get my order in soon, the best one's always sell out fast.

alright, enough for now, i will be back later with more answers to YOUR questions!

12/7/06

Since today is Pearl Harbor Day, I just wanted to say thanks to all who have fought and died for our great country. The first picture is from the day after the attack when the USS Arizona was still burning, with over 1100 guys still trapped inside her. Due to being forced into a defensive mode in case the Japanese tried to invade the island, no resources (man power) could be spared from the war effort to rescue the men from inside the ship, and up until christmas day from inside the ship loud bangs could be heard from the guys hitting the steel walls with wrenches, to let people know they were still alive, unfortunately they were never to be saved. This picture is one that I have framed in my office, and I tell them thanks for their sacrifice every day. Of course, this way of thinking has also brought ME lots of pain and suffering, as in the not so recent past I often decided to go out and party for those guys in honor of them, which always ended up in way too much booze and painkillers, but luckily now I have decided maybe they would appreciate my living a decent, healthy, american lifestyle even more. So, I raise my cup of coffee in a salute to the guys in our armed forces, past present and future!
