Here you go Jillian.

I didn’t think anyone read my blog posts. Apparently Jillian still visits this site every once and a while. We Just watched the movie Changeling. It was good, but too long. I’m drinking Patron. I’m about to finish it off. Saturday Jillian and I are going to see Norm MacDonald. It should be fun. Shady and Mystery would like to thank Jillian for the birthday gifts. That is all for now…Im off to bed…. goodnight to all, and to all a goodnight…. and stuff.

Merry Christmas, I’m fat.

Christmas is here. That means the New Year is one week away. Which in turn, means one thing. New Years resolutions. Every year we all decide we need to cut back, lose weight, drink less, exercise more (or in my case, just exercise) and every year we usually fail miserably. So what makes this new year any different?… Nothing. I’m still going to try. I’m a fat mess, and I want to get in shape before the summer. Wish me luck…I’m going to need it.

“See you in another life brotha….”

Weezer “Odds and Ends”

 

Weezer are planning to issue a compilation of unreleased tunes tentatively titled Odds and Ends. (Could that mean more songs released from the “Songs from the Black Hole” album?)  ”They’re great songs, but for some reason they didn’t make the final cut for a record,” singer Rivers Cuomo says of the album, which currently has no release date. He also reveals that the band recently recorded six classic Christmas carols that will be available for the Tap Tap Revenge iPhone game, and that Weezer might mount a spring tour with Brit-rockers Oasis.

Update:

Those Weezer Christmas songs will be released on itunes, and amazon as a digital ep on 12/16.

Ah hell yeah, I’m so there, and it’s on a friday night!! Lowell Beer Works before!!

I want to be scared.

Haunted houses are cool, but they don’t really scare me. They are just someplace to have some fun around halloween. A couple of months ago, I went to a ghost tour in plymouth. I was bored out of my mind. The guy running the tour and telling the ghost stories was absolutely horrible. The only redeeming aspect of the tour was “Burial Hill”. Except NOTHING happened there. I hang back from the rest of the group to see if any ghost would try to reach out and touch me (as promised by the tour leader) but nothing happened. I’m so tired of empty promises made by these ghost tours. I want to be scared again. Like when I was a little kid visiting my grandmothers house in cape cod on Christmas. She always had wonderfully scary stories to tell of the ghost that lived at her house. And unlike these stupid haunted ghost tours, her stories rang true. You could actually hear the footsteps of her ghostly inhabitant upstairs! Help me out, and search for haunted hotels, “Real” ghost tours, cemetery walks or whatever…. and let me know what you find. I want a real haunted experience. Hopefully before long I will have a ghost experience like you see on T.V. on ghost hunters or something.

It’s been a while

Wow…I’m really slacking on keeping this blog up to date.  I guess I find it difficult to keep people up to date with the mundane details of my life.

Well….I went to Disney World.  It was great! So much had changed since I was last there 9 years ago.  And seeing how I was there by myself (with the exception of meeting up with my friend Matt and his family here and there) I got a whole lot done.  If you have never been to Disney Wold, I suggest you take a visit. There is so much to do, and they cater to a diverse group of people.  Tame rides, thrill rides, adventures water sports, water parks, mini golf, boats, trains, monorails, horse drawn carriage you name it they have it! It really is my favorite place for vacationing. 

I found a new website for photo sharing. its called LifeSnapz. Sign up for an account and you can add pictures to other peoples event’s if you were a part of them. I have all of my disney pictures there for your viewing pleasure.

I’ll try not to wait another month and a half before I make my next post. (As if anyone was waiting on the edge of their seats to read about me)

Soundgarden Inadvertently Reunites

SEATTLE—Members of the popular 1990s grunge band Soundgarden shocked critics and fans alike Tuesday, appearing together publicly for the first time in more than a decade after accidentally running into one another at the Northgate Mall Cinnabon.

The unplanned 15-minute reunion was the result of a number of unrelated events, including lead singer Chris Cornell stopping by the baked-goods franchise to buy a Caramel Pecanbon, drummer Matt Cameron taking a break from shopping at the nearby Banana Republic, bass player Ben Shepherd walking by and noticing his one-time bandmates in the food court, and former guitarist and Cinnabon daytime supervisor Kim Thayil working the 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. shift.

According to those in attendance at the packed fast-food venue, the highlight of the incidental Soundgarden reunion came when the rockers reconciled their differences and teamed up for the first time in years to finish off an order of Cinnabon Stix.

“At first it was pretty awkward and none of them seemed like they were really into it,” said Al Helbling, 30, a Northgate Mall Sam Goody employee and Soundgarden fan. “But then the drummer comes in and right after that the bass player comes in, and it was like, ‘Yes, Soundgarden is back.’ It was so intense.”

The former members of Soundgarden, who have not released an album together since 1996’s Down On The Upside, reported that it was initially difficult to find common ground, but once they began exchanging ideas and riffing on which sugar-filled dessert they were going to order, the chemistry felt “as strong as ever.”

While Shepherd told reporters he enjoyed seeing his old bandmates, he admitted to experiencing some last-minute doubts about going through with the encounter.

“I got all the way there, but then I just didn’t know if I could do it,” Shepherd said. “I had a huge lunch that day. And Cinnabon, that’s some really sugary stuff, even if you have a sweet tooth like me.”

Thayil, who joined the band shortly after it was formed in 1984, said some tension arose between himself and former front man Chris Cornell early on in the reunion, after Thayil scolded Cornell for entering the cinnamon-bun snack purveyor without a shirt.

“Honestly, I didn’t even recognize Chris at first,” Thayil said. “All I saw was this bare-chested guy entering the store, and that’s unacceptable in the food-service industry. I hate to be the enforcer, but just because we were in a band together doesn’t mean I can allow him to create an unhygienic environment.”

The heated situation was quickly settled, however, when Thayil offered Cornell a complimentary 12-oz. CarmeLatta Chill. In turn, the 44-year-old lead singer responded by serenading Thayil with a version of the group’s hit song “Black Hole Sun” in which he replaced the titular phrase with the word “Cinnabon.” Cornell, former singer for the now-defunct group Audioslave, then stuffed his pockets with napkins, saying he needed them for a later solo project.

The two soon moved to a back table, where they joined Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron, the latter of whom said he was overjoyed to see his old bandmates, since he had to “kill some time” before Pearl Jam practice.

Although Tuesday marked the first time the group has fully reunited, the members of Soundgarden have had a few near-misses in the past 10 years. In August 2000, all four members were seen entering Seattle-area Arby’s restaurants, but the reunion never materialized: Cornell and Cameron visited the Meridian Avenue location, while Thayil and Shepherd decided to visit the Michigan Street franchise. The afternoon did, however, mark the largest Temple of the Dog reunion to date, when Cornell and Cameron ran into the rest of the supergroup’s members in the restroom.

After the success of the Cinnabon reunion, Soundgarden is reportedly planning a tour of the Sunglass Hut and Piercing Pagoda.
