1. Published Buddy:
Here's a picture of me reading a long time blog buddy of mine, Mr. Shife's, book. He asked that his people take pictures like this, but then he said he was doing too much promoting and felt weird about it. Well, I will promote for him so that he gets the massive influx of my 7 readers over to his site. It's the least I could do. We have never met in person, but through blogging all these years, it's like we're close friends. I couldn't be more happy to say that he is a published author.

2. Ancient Farts
And here is a picture that has been on my laptop for months now. I forget where I found it, but it is from ancient China or Japan or somewhere, and it illustrates that try as you might, you have to admit that farts are funny in any time period or any distant land.
3. Type O Is the Awesome Type
It has been so long since I have been really passionate about a band. I guess the last time would be when I got way into Kyuss around 5 years ago or so. I just recently started listening to Type O Negative on a daily basis. I listen to them at the gym, in the car, and late at night when I come home drunk. That last listening session scenario isn't too popular with Mrs. Noisewater. Type O struck that perfect balance of being heavy, funny, emotional, evocative, and just brilliant. And the more you read about the late Peter Steele, the more you love him.
I read one story where he overdosed, and when the doctors asked him what he was addicted to, he said "Cocaine, heroin, and redheads." The doctors then asked his band mates what type of drugs redheads were, and his good friends and fellow band members just laughed. Some of you may have noticed that the top 10 nude scenes podcasts I published on this blog a few weeks back all had Type O Negative music in the background. This was for no reason, really. They're just a great band.
4. Coach Noisewater's Breakthrough Game:
The girls volleyball team I coach this season seemed to always show up to games and clam up, play all tight, and not give it their all. All season it has been frustrating because practicing with them, I know what they're capable of. I take this hard because I'm kicking myself wondering what I'm doing wrong. What could I have done to get these girls more mentally prepared? Well, tonight they pulled it all together and played their tails off like I knew they always could. Tomorrow at practice it's all about letting them know that playing like that is how they need to play from now on. Always. Approach the game like that and do everything like that. Work your butt off and control your own destiny. That's what it's all about, friends.
Talk to you again soon, blog buddies young and old . . .

Redheads are the absolute worst kind of drug.
Congratulations Mr Shife. But I digress,... who would have thought Howard Stern stole his idea for the character Fart Man from the ancient art of the Far East.
VV: I put two V's to abbreviate your name, an it just looks like a W, like the symbol for Weezer. I imagine they were quite the drug for Peter who could have 9 of them backstage at any night, along with thousands of drugs, and he would eat $50 of Chinese food in one sitting. What a life. Que Vida!!
Jimmy: Yup. The Chinese told the tale of Fart Fung in these pictures. I have been piecing the tale together and have already casted the film full of 1970's out of work Kung Fu actors.

Man, I have to say you look pretty distinguished wearing reading glasses with your brow furrowed. If I were Mr Shife, I'd be delighted my book was being promoted by such an intellectual-looking guy. I hope you gave the volleyball girls plenty of praise after their performance.
chinese farts, if that isn't nice what is?
i have countless pictures on my computer that seemed brilliant when i saved them, but somehow the next day when the buzz was gone, so was the brilliance.
I think I'm also addicted to redheads. Or at least I'm addicted to looking at them longingly and regretting not interacting with them when one of us leaves the other
Gorilla: Yes. Distinguished is what I was going for. That and knowing how to read. I wanted to convey that too.
Billy: The ideas I jot down, especially when I'm drinking, usually aren't funny and make no sense in the light of day.
Fred: You seem to have a lot of regrets in your interactions with women. Gotta go for it, man. Fish with a big net. I'm pulling for you, especially because I'm trying to live vicariously through my single blog buddies.
You are the best blogging buddy a guy could ask for despite the fact that you are a Cubs fan. =)
Shife: My Cubbies could maybe give your Cards a run for their money soon! But they'll probably blow it.
