So, after work today...I stopped in at a tattoo shop and booked an appointment for next week to get new ink. Get home and check the mail...That red light ticket, i hoped I dodged....yeah...I didn't! $325. Now I gotta re-think the tat! Crap!!! So options. 1. Plead Guilty...pay it. 2. Plead Not Guilt and go to trial (not an option...I'm dead to rights done on it) 3. Plead Guilty.... but ask for a reduced fine. Has anyone ever done this (successfully) and is this being the first offense on an 18 year clean record worth taking the half day off work?

Battle of New Orleans by Johnny Horton? I can't believe another 30 something likes that song. I thought I was the only one! LOL

Chadd: What a great song! Good version too. I also love "The Shape I'm In"...if you got any cool versions of that, pass 'em along!

It was Cannon and Hess.

That would be an Albatross, no? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_golf

I can't believe after watching that crash that there was only 1 fatality! Where there others injured...? if there were...obviously Dan's death got all the coverage...but I'd be surprised if no one else was hurt.

Fingers crossed then....apparently they go across a persons desk first to determine if there really is an offence or not. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Red light camera....I didn't realize the intersection had one. I didn't speed up or anything...just thought I'd beat the yellow. Not another car in sight.... just lights on timers. A quick google search tells me I can expect a $300 ticket in the mail soon. Yeah me!

Can't shake this funk I'm in. Personally, professionally...just not very happy right now!

Not that it matters, but business or personal? Either way...must be a huge pain in the ass! Not to mention a complete violation of privacy and sense of security.

You been working and spending the day in front of a computer...? That can't be helping if you are.

Terribly sad news. A quote from his final letter to his supporters has been making the rounds on the interwebs today: "...Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world." Not sure what everyone does for a job, but politics aside...that's a pretty damn good philosophy to live by regardless of how you make your living. RIP Mr. Layton.

LOL...I've been off for 2 weeks...back to work today. Not sure why, but I could not get to sleep last night (Well, I know why...but no need to air my dirty work laundry here). Anyways....finally fell asleep around 3:30a....must've slept through my alarm...'cause I woke up at 8:55 (I start at 9). Alarm was still set. It turns off after about 15 minutes of buzzing! D'oh!. Thankfully, in Radio Production. 9-9:30 on a Monday is hardly busy time. LOL!

From this: To this: Proud to say...other than the initial electrical and the window...I did it all myself! (I still have to trim/seal the window)

Ah hell...that sucks. Take care of your head man! No rushing back to shinny just 'cause a friend is off this week and looking to skate! LOL

The start of this is "Sweet Stuff" material... I'm the oldest of 4 boys. The middle brother (29yr) and his long time GF (what the hell, might as well call her his wife) had a baby in June. My other brother (33) and his wife of just over a year are expecting...and my 'baby' brother (27) is getting married in 3 weeks. I'm happy for them all...but I'm 35 and single...I can't help but think I've done something wrong. I'm not going to go so far as to say I'm depressed about it...but it's definitely left me in a funk. Hell, I don't even have a date for the wedding. FML!

Not the most mainstream guy in the world (at least not in Canada...) but the new Eric Church CD is really good. C'mon...you gotta like the lyrics: "I've thrown a punch or two and gave a few black eyes...but Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night" Oh...did I mention...It's Country Music! LOL

I believe this was from "Heavy: the history of Metal" (Which is very good btw!)

According to TMZ.com, Jani Lane, former lead singer of Warrant found dead in an LA Hotel - 47 years old! Ah, 80's hair metal power ballads.

No Festival of Friends in Hamilton/Ancaster.

A friend from the other group of radio stations in town had VIP/Front Row for the Tea Party. 10 feet from the stage with all the free beer we could drink! Great to see them back together.

The Sheepdogs are playing a free show at a local festival tonight. Tea Party on Saturday. 2 great night of Canadian Rock n' Roll!

Sent promos to a voice talent in Nashville yesterday. Was told it would be 10 day turn around. Low and behold....they came back this evening. I can get this project done before I go on vaca now!
