So I just canceled my web hosting, but kept my domains. I’ve forwarded both here for now, so here’s an update! Hope everyone who reads this has a joyous holiday with those you love! Peace.

Drunken Zombies

So I’m dreaming about drinking & getting pretty trashed (in my dream, of course) then I wake up (in real life) at 4pm feeling totally drunk. I throw on some clothes then stumble outside to have a smoke, still feeling odd from the dream. I can’t be drunk! I haven’t had a drop & I have to work tonight! Stumble back to bed & wake up five hours later thinking, “that was an odd experience!”.

Tonight at work is very quiet & almost creepy. Went outside on my first break at 12:30am and I’m the only one parked in the lot. The building is empty except for my coworker & I. All I can think about is a zombie attack.

What a weird day.

Blessed Be and all that crap!

Sometimes it surprises me how at a gathering of love and peace people can let their attitudes and bitterness ruin the mood. So I’m hanging out with my peeps at the Nashville Pagan Pride fest & it’s a gloomy, rainy day. It seems that everyone is in a funk & they are letting that screw up the day! Not me! I’m letting everyone see me smile & emoting a general air of awesomeness! Here’s to you & yours! Blessed be!

Mobile Update!

Testing out the iPhone app! Pretty cool to update the blog from my phone. Maybe I’ll update more often now!!! Lol, right!

Settle Down Now….

Ok, here is another bi-yearly update! Amy and i got back about a week ago from the Dawn & Drew farm. We were invited to Dawn-a-pa-Drew-za 3-za! We had an amazing time & made some amazing friends. Check out the pics on Flickr if you get a chance! Fun was had by all (maybe more some than others!) Many adult beverages were consumed! I think rum & coke is my new favorite (thank you, Drew!). They let me play a few songs opening for Smitten Bayou, which was an honor. I was nervous as hell, but got through it and everyone complemented me so i guess it went alright! Anyway, it’s been a week and i still feel like we are trying to get back in the normal swing of things. That’s it for now! Peace, Love & Midget… Jeff

Pancakes, Vodka and the Evil Eye

nogrin — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 15:09:59 +0000

So this morning my wife and I take our buddy Jay to the local Applebee’s where they are having an all-you-can eat pancake breakfast. This was a fund raiser for the Kiwanis, so besides only being $5 for all-you-can-eat pancakes, it was for a good cause! We pull into the packed parking lot, then headed for the front door. Besides the chaos from all the volunteers inside, there were a bunch of Boy Scout’s helping out as well. They were going around picking up the empty plates of those that were finished with their round of pancakes. One of the Scouts in particular stuck out to us and we soon decided to save our empty plates until he came around. Now there was a family sitting in the booth next to us with their little toddler in a booster seat in the aisle and “our” Boy Scout/Waiter was coming our way. He stopped at the families table to see if they had any empty plates and the baby made some sort of noise while he was standing there. The Scout gave the baby the Evil Eye and made a noise that was somewhere between a sharp inhale and a hiss. My wife and i saw this and started to crack up! For the rest of the breakfast the Scout was now called Evil Eye (with me sometimes referring to him as Stink Eye)! He was totally going to get all of our plates for the rest of the breakfast. When we were ready to leave, Jay and Amy got out some quarters to give him as a tip, which he took with a bored look on his face then walked off. After we left Amy wanted to buy smokes so we headed over to the Discount Beer/Cig place which just happens to be right next door to a liquor store! So at 8:30 a.m., Jay and I make a trip in to buy some more vodka. I highly recommend early morning trips to buy booze. It makes you feel so alive! …ok, not really, but we were cracking up the whole time even after the cop walked in and looked us up and down. It was as if he was thinking, “who the hell buys vodka at 8:30 in the morning?”

Love life, eat pancakes.
