“I remember down in Houston we were puttin’ on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, “Cotton-Eyed Joe”!
He said, “We love what you’re doin’, boys don’t get us wrong
There’s just somethin’ missin’ in your song

If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for “Lousiana Man”
So rosin up that bow for “Faded Love” and let’s all dance
If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band”

That is one intense heckle. I mean… usually hecklers say “you suck!” or ” summer of 69!” But this guy was positive. He told them what he didn’t like in a polite manner, but then on to give constructive criticism on what they can do to fix their problems in the band.  Honestly i cant believe everyone allowed him to finish.  Luckily they had a fiddle player the whole time and he just got his fiddle out and all was well. Its really a heart warming story.

I got my bus drivers license and have been driving a bus 2 days a week for some extra money. It’s not bad at all. In fact, i would say i enjoy it. My only complaint is that the streets in the neighborhoods i have to drive in arent exactly marked, so im having to learn my way around via trash thats on the road. So if they end up hauling off the brown couch or the torn apart motorcycle, then im back to square one.

I used to be a musician but that really hasn’t been the case lately.  I have 0 shows booked. Ive played less in 2010 than i have in any year since 2002. Which is not really a good feeling but there really isn’t much i can do about it.  It looks like i might get to make the music for a web series a friend of mine will be making. Ive already written one song for it and the show promises to be funny, so it should be a fun project.

In other news, how about those miners in Chile? Crazy stuff.

Im FINALLY taking classes again, and will hopefully get my Teaching degree in the next decade. Somewhere around the time they decide teachers arent necessary and kids should be taught be robots. Or musicians who DO NOT have a degree.

It turns out i havent been blogging because i havent had anything funny to say, which is evident as this one draws to a close. As i’ve said before, they cant all be winners.

What does that even mean?

a quick google search after i wrote the first part of this blog brings up that apparently i made up the phrase…and used it in a blog post i had forgotten about HERE.

Apparently its catching on and im to thank or blame. You are welcome, America.

** not REALLY catching on, but somebody searched for it and thats a start!

What’s odd, is somehow they were all cursed before they even made the movie. Especially David Allan Grier. The others atleast know their place in society. Grier actually thinks he’s funny. He is not funny though. I promise. David Allan Grier makes Pauly Shore and Andy Dick both look funny.

2. If the tractor won’t stop, try kicking it to a halt.

3. If this happens to you, you deserve it. This is a picture off of a hay rake and you would have to have a friend raise the rake while you lay down and have them close onto you. It could happen though. It happened to stick man.

4. Rubber man strikes again…

5. Dont kick fast moving blades.

if power lines fall on the tractor, it will cook you.

round things roll.

tractors are not high dives.

2. no scissor kicking the brush hog.

3. The brush hog is a bully and will throw rocks at you.

5. Stay away from the brush hog at meal time.
