Country livin... The past few nights the crazy coyotes have been waking my sister-in-law and me up howling. I swear they sound like they are in the front yard. I kept telling Brian that the cat never had any cat food because those stupid coyotes were eating it. Well Brian could sleep through world war 3 so he of course never hears anything. This morning I got up to go out and turn on the car to warm it up. As I shut the door behind me and look up I see a coyote about 15 feet from me staring me in the face. It slowly turns around and starts to walk off. It was quite obvious I did not concern this animal in the least which sort of upset me. So stomped my feet and yelled in traditional redneck bottom's fashion and the damned thing stopped looked at me and then just kept on walking off into the "forest". As tempted as I am to call up John Long and have him do some coyote callin in the front yard, I think I'll just let Brian sit on the front steps in his underwear and a cigarette and let him shoot the stupid things. I'll even bring him an extra beer everytime he gets one. How's that for service?
I think we are heading to Austin this coming weekend to visit some friends and I've made Brian promise me he'd go to a show with me if I found a good one. So I look on galleywinter at Austin's January calendar and I only know 2 of the artists for the whole month of January. Not that there were very many to begin with. Then I cruised some of the other forums and found Debie'sJW&J thread about the family talk time, and of course it sounded like SOSDD. So I headed to Pollstar and of course come up with the perfect show. I'm going to make them go see the Gourds with me. "Whoop Whoop" in the infamous words of my sister-in-law. Taking her out in Austin will be interesting. It will probably consist of her being constantly hit on by drunken strangers due to her drop dead looks, but fun nonetheless. I'm actually excited about going to Austin. We haven't done anything since the last time we went to Austin a few months ago. P.S. girls let me tell you something in case you didn't already know this...ALL of your friends abandon you when they find 'significant' others. No matter how hard you try to stay in touch of get together, something ALWAYS gets in the way. So I'm not trying anymore. It's a fact. Sad but true, accept it now and the future will be easier.
Oh how I miss the good ol days... This is a must read from Sara. I remember once upon a time when I used to know how to have a good time. I think I might have forgotten, thanks to a thing called being broke. I wake up everyday happy, but when I read things like this I miss it sooooo much. I keep telling myself that I'm done with all that, that I've moved past it because everytime I want to participate something intervenes. Obviously telling me that its all over with and to move on. But then I pop an old Pat Green or Cory Morrow cd in the car and there comes the flood of memories... River trips, busted flip flops, busted asses, boys that were "so pretty", $100 hotel rooms no one stayed in, pot smoking band members, spur of the moment "runs", and lest I forget to mention BEER! Something I've long since forgotten how to drink with my newest ailment of Acid Reflux. I miss the friends, the fun, and sometimes even the fights. It seems like so long ago that when I talk about it, its like it wasn't even me. I have to find a way to get Brian hooked but so far of ALL of my music the one and only band I can get him to sit through is Reckless Kelly and only two of their songs make the cut. Ugh, what's a girl to do?
No I'm not dead and neither is this thing. I think of a thousand things a day to post on here but never find the time. I ended last semester with all B's and can't say I was disappointed. Glad to have it over and ready to end this one. Congrats to Jess and Court on their engagements and to Elizabeth and Amy York on their additions to the family. Stay tuned because my anouncement will be soon!
