A peek at my free time...

Playing the guitar is turning out to be really soothing. It is the reason I come home from work; it's the reason I get up in the morning; it's the reason I have no social life. I know this may be an obsession, but I guess at the very least it's a healthy one. I can't forget the reason I have the guitar though, which is thanks to my mom. She gave it to me when I moved and I really have appreciated it. All those lonely days/nights have been filled with the sounds of sketchy singing and even sketchier-sounding guitar chords. It's lots of fun and I've gotten help from my bro' too. It's funny 'cause whenever I play to my friends, they seem really impressed. I think it's cute how nice they are to me about my playing, but I think they enjoy it too (deep down, waayy deep down)! Once I get a little better, I'll play for ya'all! Till then...I'll keep practicing.

Po-dunk crossword

Is there such a thing as a Po-Dunk crossword puzzle?
I don't think I've sat down and attempted to do a crossword for years, so I was flipping through the "local" C-town newspaper, (which happens to have about 20 pages in all), and had some time on my hands and decided to do the crossword. (I ain't that smart ya'all, but ya knows when it comes to these danged word games, I know a thangy or two)...or I thought I did! First of all, it was a real challenge to come up with words that are three letters or less. THREE LETTERS! Here's one of the hints: 21 across: Twain...3 letters...Anyone? My first thought was Mark (Twain). Nope, that's four letters! Okay, try another: 18 across: Church recess...4 letters...What church are they talking about? Aside from that, this is where I'm starting to feel really dumb. If this is Po-Dunk's idea of a joke, they really got one over on me! Like I said it's been yeeeaaarrrsss since I did a crossword. If any of you smart city folks have answers to those let me know. It's possible my brain has been sucked out by aliens...

Here's a couple more:
43 across: Title...4 letters
49 across: Get...4 letters
20 down: Stated...4 letters
41 down: Send forth...4 letters
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been a while...

Gosh, I just realized I hadn't posted anything for a while, so here ya go! Since there isn't much to do 'round here, I have started learning to play the guitar. I play acoustic and love it! I am teaching myself, so it's a slow process and I'm sure eventually I will need to take lessons to learn some of the cool stuff that I've heard people play, but for now it's fun! I can play one song by Red Hot Chili Peppers called Desecration Smile, but it's a little choppy. I never realized how relaxing it is to play guitar! I wish I'd had this much time a few years ago to learn it, I'd be really good by now!
Anyone have any advice for me about guitar, let me know. I can use the help. Thanks!

Best invention ever!

So my bro' has been holding out on me; he just barely told me about this great, wonderful, flavorful chipotle tabasco. I really don't like regular Tabasco, so I was skeptical...Wow, try it. And B-man, you need to let me in on more of your secrets!

Cute pic of Adam and Dan of CC taken at Sundance couple years ago...He wasn't very happy 'bout it, but he still let me snap it! Thanks Adam (and Dan)

BOOORRRREEEEDDDD in the land of the boring people!!! I tried to go find something to do tonight, but there isn't one thing to do here! I'm so hatin' C-town right now! I'm a plant without water. I'm a car without oil. I'm a brain without stimulation. I'm a city without lights. I'm a thunderstorm without the rain. As Adam Duritz of Counting Crows says, "I wish this was a small world, cuz I'm lonely for a big town."
