Today Rocky Anderson called Bush the "Worst president in history". That's a pretty fair assessment. I saw on the local news that there were about 5,000 protestors walking around in downtown SLC. That's a good thing. I am so sick of theses damn "Suburbanite White Male Middle Age Right Wing Yuppies" that have been wandering around the Gateway the last couple of days. They can tuck their ASSES back into their cul-de-sacs and keep living in thier dream worlds. Yeah, I'd but this guy a beer if I ran into him.
It was so much easier when I was a just a kid. I looked forward to Saturday Morning Cartoons. When did life get so complicated? Everything is nothing by itself. When did I become so cynical? Why do I have trust issues? Why doesn''t my brain work the way it should? No detail is anything by itself- DAG!
Scientists have decided that Pluto is no longer a planet. It looks like I can save a few minutes now when I explain the solar system to Elektra. My question is...when does Sam Cassell (who calls Pluto home in the offseason) get to hear this news? When it's reaches there in like 4,000 light years? or at the start of training camp? DAG!
That's right CHOWDS! the five game sweep is complete. The Evil Empire wins out again. Maybe Theo Epstein should have pulled the trigger on a deal to make your team better before the All-Star break. You did nothing and now you will all suffer the consequences. I know that NY has not won a championship this century but I think all that is going to come to an end this October. Enjoy the ride since I'm sure you won't see another championship for over fifty years while the Yankee faithful will be on number 27 by the end of the 2006. How you like them Apples? Dag!
Everyone meet Ava Janette Murphy (I hope I spelled it right). I went to visit Shanty & Jana last night over at LDS hospital and was able to grab some snaps of the little kiddo. We followed Shawn and Ava down to the nursery where they took all of her vitals. When Elektra and I were standing outside the door Elektra noticed a food cart and she said the following..."Looking at the babies doesn't make me hungry but looking at that cart does". After we were done visiting we hit the cafeteria for ice cream and banana cream pie...MMMmmm.
I've had Elektra over at my place since Tuesday morning and she has been nothing short of WONDERFUL! This kid is an angel walking the Earth. What a blessing...DAG!
It's official. Numbs & Earthburn records now have a home and it is Suite 8. If you take the eight and lay it on it's side it resembles an "infinity" sign. There is a possible CLUE there so pay attention. We signed the lease today. We are going to start moving all the gear in tomorrow and pay the first six months rent with CASH MONEY. It is going to be GREAT to finally have a solid home base and hopefully we can bang out a LOT of music in the next little bit. We have all come a LONG way since the days of rappin' at The Palace and I am SO greatful that I have life long friends who have stuck with me through thick and thin. This is so much more than just a "band". These guys are my brothers. I'll take some pics of the moving fiasco tomorrow, it's going to be GREAT! Peace-DAG!
That's right. I see better with two RIPE tomato's as my ocular devices. What a LONG week it has been. Work is steadily driving me CRAZY and it seems that every Monday I end up as the punching bag for many departments. But today on the other hand marks a VERY special day for NUMBS and Earthburn Records. We now have an office space that we are turning into our recording studio (see pic and explanation above). It is official and we have signed the lease. Also (bigger news)...DJ SHANTY is now a proud father as BABY JANTY? SHANNA? was born this afternoon. Both baby (it's a girl) and mom and dad are doing very well! I will drop by the hospital tomorrow and hopefully I can get some snapshots of the kiddo to put on here. CONGRATS to the Murphy's and Partida's! On top of all this, I'm playing Mr Mom tonight and my nephew, neice and daughter are all still up and playing "store". They are selling toys and food to each other. It's aprox 11pm here in UTAH. Why won't they sleep? Why? Peace-DAG!
...In the pale moonlite? Well, I finally felt a little closure with the whole NUMBS/GUAPO fiasco the other night. Rooster and myself went over to LUNA Studios because we heard that Franklin Gerald the 3rd was in town. He is harder to photograph then the YETTIE! We had a nice sitdown about what has gone on the past three to four years and it felt productive. I had a weird flashback sitting in the old studio. Everyone in the same spots, the same mannerisms and the same sarcastic jokes. We will see if they deliver what they said they would on their end and then we can close the chapter. At this point does it matter what they did or didn't do? Does that erase the last several years of let downs, false promises and label disfunction? or is it better to take the knowledge and lessons and move forward? I don't know but damn I would have been happy if we could have launched that "SOME BITCH" out a window! Pictured from L to R- Andrew Mishmash & Gerry. Peace- DAG!
Hey there my good BLOGGER peeps. I'm sorry I haven't written anything for a bit on here I have just had a REALLY crazy week with "My Life, My Life, My Life...". Besides work being the usual cluster that it is my personal biz has been getting all up in my ASS! 99 problems and so on and so forth. I won't bore you with the details but in this past week I have: laughed, cried, bled, drank, told the truth, lied, bought stuff I didn’t need, under-slept, wondered where I am headed with my life, prayed, read, wrote, watched TV, saw a couple of movies about town, listened to music, did not eat any meat, made people mad and upset at me and exercised. I’m sure there is more to it BUT that’s all I can think of right now. There are some positive things going on…we are like 4-5 songs away from finishing the NUMBS LP. It WILL be out in October 2006. We have a name for it BUT we are keeping it under “raps” for right now. Also, NUMBS might be doing music for an AM Sports radio station here in UTAH (more on this later). Fischer gave me some tracks for my SOLO jawn (exciting!), Shanty and Jana should be parents by the next post (VERY exciting) and Elektra continues to amaze me EVERYDAY with her imagination. Anyways, Roo & I are off to shake down Franklin Gerald the 3rd for some NUMBS CD’s. If you hear about a guy being thrown threw a glass window don’t rat us out. Peace- DAG!
I'm REALLY getting excited for the 2006 NFL season and the best team EVER! the MIAMI DOLPHINS. The first pre-season game countdown is on (11 days) and I'm GEEKED over the news from www.finheaven.com. I'll be posing my predictions on the Dolphins' season soon BUT in the meantime...check this out... http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory?id=2258127 Nick Saban is the MAN! Best line..."I feel like my first responsibility is our team". I can only hope the players are as dedicated as he is.
