All I Wanted Was A Pepsi!!!

If anyone recognizes that line from an old Suicidal Tendencies song called Institutionalized.

Anyway, it’s been one of them days. I know, it’s the weekend and there’s not supposed to be ‘one of them kind of days.’ It wasn’t supposed to be, so here’s the poop: We went to a few stores today and were to come home to play games and scrap book. Neither happened. In fact Margaret is still setting up her stuff (while I keep mine in boxes). Me on the other hand had to repair Windows XP.

When we got home I noticed my computer Jeff’n up. So like any regular person running Windows I restarted the thing. When it came up it said ‘hal.dll’ is missing or corrupted. I know it’s not verbatim, but still I was surprised that something went awry. I popped in the Windows disc and started up my mad DOS skills that the thing uses to no avail. So in the end I had to act like I was going to re-install Windows and then use the repair tool that it had. If I knew of that darned thing I would’ve used it, because it took over 6 hours for chkdsk /r to complete.

So now I’m going to dual boot my system with XP and some Linux distro. If XP decides to jeff up again, then I’ll have a back up to tinker it into stumble mode.

I was this close (fingers held close together) to possibly buying Vista. Don’t know why. It’s a software issue and I was close to going back to the dark side. Anyway, I’m off looking for a good distro. Ubuntu is alright and Kubuntu seems the same. I might hit something else.

Cover Me

The times are tough now, just getting tougher

This old world is rough, it’s just getting rougher

Cover me, come on baby, cover me

Well I’m looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

Gotta love the Boss sometimes.

In Your Eyes

Okay, is everyone familiar with Peter Gabriel’s song “In Your Eyes” from the album So? Well, I think the song is good until the chorus kicks in. I think when the song goes into the chorus it totally falls apart and sounds trite. I think the song would’ve been better with the pre-chorus being the chorus or letting Kenny Loggins do something with it (tee hee).

I think Peter Gabriel has a wonderful voice and I like the adventurous nature of some of his songs, but some sections are totally weak.

So what do ya’ll think?

My love is alive…

Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can

………..They didn’t have to do this!!!!!

I love this lyric

darryl — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 01:25:05 +0000

I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
Where the seagulls play
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
In the sodium light
I saw two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter’s night
(the only way to really hear Sting sing this was on a special viewing on DirecTV back in ’96. So much soul. Maybe I’ll post it some day)

It’s almost here!!!

Friday, ahhhhh, that sigh of relief. Of knowing that I have 2 days off from work and I get to spend it with the shortest loveliest woman in my life. Her name be Margaret, Margaret the Thaden.

I’m so looking forward to having a homemade hamburger and a beer with the misses. Strange I know (she’s still digging the beer).

Now Becky, since you won the lyric contest click here for your surprise!!!

Today’s lyrical challenge is this:
Here I stand with my own kin
At the end of everything
Finally the dream has gone
I’ve nothing left to hang upon

Man I love Big Country. I had the chance to buy 2 Big Country CD’s today, but I didn’t. I was honestly afraid to spend money on them, because it was during there transition period, where the music wasn’t all that good. I’m a music finatic, so I’d just collect the CD whether the album sucked or not.

I got my hair cut today and man you can really see my balding receding hair lines real good now. Sucks losing the hair, but at least the bright side is that I won’t have to worry about spending money on a hair cut for much longer. It was funny, the lady that cut my hair looked so much like my sister in law it was scary. The only difference was this lady was taller and had scoliosis. She had a unique sense of humor that was dry. It was funny she told me that the “manly” Redkin shampoo will make me smell pretty like a girl, lol. And at the end of my cut she brushed me down with baby powder. Talk about smelling feminine. Cool thing is though, she liked the smell of Johnson and Johnson’s baby lotion, honestly though, who doesn’t like that smell??

Here’s a lyrical challenge for ya’ll. What song was this line from: Do you remember the 21st night of September?

Whoever guesses the lyric and the artist will get something from me (good luck!!!)
