I don't know about some of these

In my truck, driving and listening to tunes and then comes on the biggest piece of crap that I heard almost ever.
Nickelback singing a tune called "Photograph."
This poor excuse for a slow tune was turned off imediately and another station put on.
Def Leppard was on singing another piece of slow crap.
Aaaaahhhhhhh........
Almost punched the channel buttons to talk radio.
Had that on for awhile until I tired of all of Canada whining about the hockey loss to Russia.
Put on the music again and another piece of crap from I think Poison.
Now I like almost every type of music and can tolerate most of which is not for me, but I don't know about metal bands singing ballads.
Some musicians can pull it off, ie: Lenny Kravits can and I don't really even like him.
Neil Young is another, along with The Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, The Foo Fighters, Nirvana and countless others.
My contention is that these bands who try and do slow stuff and it stinks, must know there selling crap to their buying fans.
Plus I have to listen to it!
My rant won't help get this crap off the face of the earth, but it made me feel better.

A quick note about Olympic hockey, which I know Michelle is looking forward to reading.
Canada lost and came 8th and you would think that someone important was shot and killed.
It's hockey guys, get over it.
We're not the only nation on earth who plays this sport and that is what it is, a sport.
Plus so far we have 20 other medals in other sports and we should be proud of all ot them.

What was I thinking?

Saturday, we were invited to friends in the neighbourhood. European family, married 15 years with 2 children, a boy the same age as our own and a girl , 7 years old.
This fellow likes to drink tequilla and so do I. He found this out and
he also doesn't like to see your glass empty, at all!
This gentleman goes to Mexico around twice a year on business, so he has 8 different bottles of tequilla sitting at his home.
The two of us polished off a bottle and a half on Saturday evening.
OUCH!!!!!!
What the hell was I thinking?
I had trouble doing that when I was 25, let alone 42, which I'm supposed to be now.
I had a hangover that would have killed a horse on Sunday.
This had reprecussions that went to Monday.(Just dry as a desert)
I'll never drink that much again.
Well at least until the next time.
Which will not be anytime soon.

During my hell state on Sunday, we managed to watch "Ray." Though my head ached, my stomach heaved and I laid on the couch like I was dead, this movie didn't do it for me.
I thought it was good but vastly over-rated and Jamie Foxx was good but not worthy of a Oscar.
I was disappointed. (at the movie, not my stupidity)

Saturday Morning

The kid is off to Rochester with his grandmother to visit his cousins and uncle. Me other half is having a mid morning nap, because she is feeling exhausted and just because she can.
So here I am with a half hour alone to write a blog and to read a few.

What's going on with my life?
Well I haven't mentioned here too much that my tendonitis in my left shoulder has bothered me for 3 months and is as bad as it ever has been. I finally went to the chiropractor last evening and today everything is much better, not perfect though.
My chiro gave me some exercises to do and said to keep icing it down.
Believe it or not, this has affected my back on the left side, and the front of the shoulder muscle right down to my chest.
I asked if could be genetics and the chiro said probably not and then I mentioned my family history and then she said it was possible. My father, brother and I think my granfather have been affected by this.
It sucks!
On the positive side, it forces me to exercise.

We have our annual valentines party this evening, which is abit of work, but will be nice to see old friends. I think people expect us to have this party, but next year we might do something different, like go out to a club with all these people.
Sil won't be there, along with her hubby, they planned a romantic evening, which might be cancelled due to a sick kid. Sucks for them!
Wife's best friend that I don't like is bailing, like a good friend would on a regular basis.(sarcasm)
Must go and do chores!
Go Canada go!
