Come hell or high water

Come hell, hell or high water

Nothing's gonna hold me down

Come hell, hell or high water

Ain't no body messin' me around

Always a fun time to get up early in the morning and shovel the 2-3 inches of snow that fell yesterday. Some of you lazy people in the Milwaukee area will probably leave it to Mother Nature to melt it away this week. But us sober, good upstanding citizens make sure our neighbors do not slip and fall.

Yeah, it sucks to be the non-drinking one. I got some calls from Gambino on Friday night. Though there was a koala sighting- something no human should have to witness- the scare wasn't enough to damper the good time it sounded like they were having. Then on Saturday, another drunk called to do a "dial-a-line". Great. Maybe they think I am doing coke now.

Funnier still is this comment from WhisKeYGyrL-

"Good luck with this... The first 14 days of detox are the worst... shakey,
moody, hyper, heart pounding, dizziness, sweaty, hallucinations just to name a
few...kinda like PMS...yes good luck with this.. ;)"

Um...yeah...ok. I thought I had already pointed out the fact that I did not do this because I have a drinking problem. I do not recall being shaky, hyper, sweaty or dizzy. Moody maybe but that was only when I was looking at the liquor cabinet. That reminds me. I need to get some brandy next time I am out.

Is it bad that I am already planning my drinking for Holy Thursday? Yep, you read that right. According to one source, Lent is over on sundown on Holy Thursday. I just may be at the bar that night and doing the John Lee Hooker. One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer.

Today's lyrics are in honor of Poison who will be on the road this summer, celebrating 20 years. It will be good to see the Glam Slam Kings of Noise once again.

Onto the miscellany...I was watching a show called Brainman this weekend that featured a Brit savant that could do complicated math in his head. Beyond the moronic stuff like reciting pi to 225,000 spaces (took over 5 hours, what a waste of time) and the cool stuff (learning the Icelandic language in a week), there were two things that caught my attention. One was that at the end of the show, they should a building with "wings" coming out of it. I couldn't help but think it was the Milwaukee Art Museum. Then they showed the kid walking through the place. Sure as shit, it was the MAM. I couldn't help but wonder why they brought the kid to Milwaukee. Guess he needed a beer.

The funnier part was the guy trying to sell the Science Channel during the commercials. His name was Dan Duran. Think this guy got picked on as a kid?

Well, that is what you get for being sober and not leaving your house this weekend. The Science Channel. This weekend I will not be a Waldoch and will leave my home. It is a tough test ahead. I have a party to attend on Friday night for the lovely Ms. Gambino. On Saturday is a St. Patty's Day party that I am not sure I will hit. It is an all day affair. Being around drunks for that long without some nectar may be too much.
