Carry on my wayward son.

There’ll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest… don’t you cry no more.

[breaks it down]

Good song.

I’m excited that I actually know a few of the ones you’re quoting.

whiteshoes40 - October 22, 2008 reply

Wooo!

I'm still breaking it down in my head.

Love that song!

Days On The Green! Yay!

Those were the days.

I missed those.

My older sibs made it to them tho.

So . . .

There IS someone older than you on here.

perhaps

I went to a Day on the Green...

and I’m younger than 67.

Have I posted my age?

Oh, never mind.

41?

Duh!

Well, yeah

I know,

just being silly.

Uh . . . Me.

Days On The Green

I saw Led Zep/Judas Priest/Rick Derringer in summer of ‘77. Went to a few of them in ’78. Rolling Stones/Santana/Eddie Money/Peter Tosh on Mick’s 36th birthday. The really good one was Aerosmith/Foreigner/Pat Travers/Van Halen/AC-DC. (What the hell was Foreigner doing there?) There was another good one in ‘78 that had Ted Nugent, Blue Oyster Cult, AC-DC, and Cheap Trick (I think I’m leaving someone out – can’t remember). A few years later there was The Who & The Clash. Those were great times for concerts.

Monday Fan - October 23, 2008 reply

Yeah

My older sibs were at a lot of those. Bastards.

I'm so jealous.

Rocktopus - October 23, 2008 reply

Memories...

all alone in the moonlight.

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again.

I always sung it "carry on my hayward son"

Of course, I’m odd.

It has a better ring that Carry on my San Leandro son

How did you know?

I suppose it'll be Carry on my Fremont son now

No but why San Leandro?

It's the next city from Hayward

I thought you picked it randomly

I was born and raised there. Parents and most of the fam still live there.

Cool

you are an odd duck.

but we love you anyway.

aww... how sweet.

Ducks need love too

of course they do.

You're a quack.

{cough}

Plus the people scoring at home

Fixed it...announcers were wrong in the ninth & I forgot

baseballgirl - October 22, 2008 reply

They do that

~~often~~ sometimes

mikev are you watchig this commercial?

no mikev....sad.

Which commercial?

hey! both you AND zigfan are here! woot!

I wish I had more time, and my head wasn’t splitting open with my 5th headache in a row!!

get some caffeine in your system.

what would that do? make my headache worse?

are you trying to make me suffer, or are you offering a miracle cure?

caffeine works sometimes

I'll try it, but if it doesn't work, or makes it worse,

I’ll hunt you both down and you will both be VERY sorry. VERY VERY sorry.
So lets hope it works, ok?

holy crap

I’d take care of that before the headaches

take care of what? hunting you guys down?

I’ll only do that if my headache doesn’t go away.

only if it DOESN'T go away?

no fun.

you want me to chase after you anyway?

depends

what happens if you catch me?

I don't know.

Well yeah.

Yeah that.

Excedrin Migrane is basically a caffeine pill.

Those work

I just realized I haven’t had a migraine in a long time. Cool.

Ugh..i get them way too frequently.

They suck! Bad!

Truly awful.

What is the difference between Excedrin Migraine and Excedrin Extra Strength?

Nothing!

that's why I love you.

You do the research for me.

I was told not to take that, for whatever reason.

Apparently whatever is splitting open my skull is not a “full” migrane, so I’m not supposed to take migrane medicene.

there's more in it than just caffeine.

I’m just sayin, it helps. Go drink a soda.

alright!

... would you mind beaming over some of your magical sprite?

never mind. i found a coke.

sprite is caffeine free.

also, pinch the webbing between your left thumb and index finger

There’s a pressure point in there somewhere that relieves headaches too.

Need to apply a good amount of pressure though.

serious?

serious

I usually just tell them to go home.

K, that was bad,

How do you know all this?

Cuz you’re right.

just one of those things you pick up.

A chick I knew a long, long time ago knew all kinds of that weird pressure point stuff.

I remember the hand one because it works.

so your cure of headaches is...

drink a soda and pinch your finger? I like the way you think. I hope it works though. It is REALLY bad. If it’s not gone by tomorrow, I’m going to stop by the doctor. I HOPE IT’S NOTHING SERIOUS!! To be honest, I’m a little worried… it hasn’t gone away for 5/6 days. ugh.

That doctor thing sounds like a good idea

not really. I mean, it's not like it's a cureall.

caffeine helps, and pressure points help.

If you’ve had a headache for a week, you may wanna call a doctor. Seriously.

Now you guys are making me scared!!!

{shivers} my friends say it’s because I’ve been staring at a computer screen too long.

Could be

You may need glasses.

But still, a DOCTOR.

fine. I'll go tomorrow. Happy?

I'm half-content, yes

and I'll tell you if it's anything bad

but only if you care.

That should be obvious.

do you wear glasses?

sometimes.

Your RX might have changed.

Or you could be sitting funny at the computer.

That's possible.

Read here.

Good stuff, Jennifer

I almost called you Jen. Weird.

I shorten everyone’s name at work. Well, I ask first.

Jen is fine.

No Jennie.

j-dog?

If you think that's necessary.

not particularly

Good. :)

Because I don’t know I could answer to that. Plus, it makes me insecure.

J-dizzle?

J-money?

I’m way too white and un-street to know many more of these.

You got me.

LOL

Jennie from the AN hood.

Or the block.

Its the only time Jennie is acceptable.

Thank Jen.

No Jennie. I don’t do “nies”.

Besides I am going for less typing. Fat fingers and all.

I get bad headaches.

I usually take a hot shower and let the water beat down on my head and back. Then I take lots of drugs, stuff my nose full of Mentholatum and sleep for a few hours.

I do the first and last part.

That works for me too.

and I'll try that too. But I really need to go.

Talk to you guys later!!!!

doctors know what they're doing.

(usually)

Some of the drugs you can take for headaches actually

has caffeine in them.

I've taken tylenol and and motrin

aond something else that I can’t remember the name of. No dice. It hasn’t gotten any better at ALL.

Caffeine gives me ocular migraines. Makes my left side go numb. Pretty freaky shit.

And I thought I was suffering...

or a doctor

KEEP ME AWAY FROM THOSE!

They can be good. Very, very good.

Whoa.

Was that too much information?

Not quite enough.

You want to know about he electricity usage too?

Well yeah.

and they can also be bad. very, very bad.

and do you punish them when that happens?

yes.

Okay, who was talking abour Fringe on the telecast?

People are fucking crazy. They are going crazy in a town hall meeting about a sex offender/former murderer.

Leave the guy alone, he served his time. So annoying how people are branded in our “modern” society.

that's not exactly like somebody who has an unpaid parking ticket.

I hate those people with a passion.

OK, not really.

What is your point? I understand it is a horrible crime, but to further ostracize him after he has served his prison sentence is cruel.

He should just pay the parking tickets

Dunno, there's really no good answer here without specifics.

I can completely understand people flipping out over a murderer/sex offender. I can also understand somebody serving their time and getting out.

We're only modern by today's standards

-crosses miggy2k off of Christmas party invite list-

JediLeroy - October 22, 2008 reply

Okay so I just went to your blog.

From what I gather you are teaching in Japan. Is this the traditional program being offered to college students, “Go to Japan/China and teach us english.”? Seems like a pretty sweet deal. Anyways if that is your daughter running around in one of the videos, please make sure she learns Japanese. She will hate you when she is older if she is not taught a second language at such a young age.

miggyk2 - October 23, 2008 reply

By the way, I was totally kidding about the Christmas invite thing

I’m actually part of the JET Program, the biggest one in Japan. You need a degree and some desire to get to know Japan. It’s a grueling interview process, and pretty competitive. But it’s awesome.

As for the language, she’s learned a few words so far, but we’d actually like her to learn Spanish (I’m fluent in Spanish and learning Japanese now).

JediLeroy - October 23, 2008 reply

Wow, to be trilingual would be amazing.

I hope Japan is treating you well!

miggyk2 - October 23, 2008 reply

How strange, I go to CSU Sacramento.

miggyk2 - October 23, 2008 reply

What's worse is when people are branded sex offenders

for statutory rape. Thanks to our modern, enlightened laws, a 20 year old who has sex with a 17 year old (and depending on where you are, you may not even have to know the other party was underage) can be essentially stripped of all rights (including the right to vote for politicians who don’t believe in stripping people’s rights for minor mistakes in judgment).

Criminal laws should be drafted by experts with no input from the general public (or, worse yet, legislators) other than, maybe, picking among 2 or 3 options.

PaulThomas - October 22, 2008 reply

Or when 2 minors have consensual sex and the older of the 2 gets charged with stat rape. Figure that one out.

the profusion of "cabbage" in politics ensures that we remain a government of slaws, not men

monkeyball - October 23, 2008 reply

It truly is the worst system ever invented

Except, of course, for all the other ones.
