LONG TIME, OLD FRIEND

I still have not yet managed to fix my computer. It blows dick and balls as the only time I get to check out all the dumb skateboarding shit I read online is while I'm at work. And since now I'm some kind of news guy/afternoon guy at the radio station, I actually have work to do. Therefore, work+no computer=never get to update blog. I am however now at work, and Saturday mornings here aren't so busy, so I'm having my breakfast, and typing away.
A fully balanced and healthy breakfast!!




The good side of all this is that when I'm not at work, I've been able to get my lazy ass outside and enjoy this, uhhh, Winter? we've been having. 
As much as I make fun of country folk, well, I'm one of em. Yeah, I chopped and split wood, so what? Country Boys can survive....or some such shit.




           It's been really windy the last few days, and tornado's hit the state a little earlier this week. I feel bad about the people that lost their homes, and even worse for the people that lost their lives. That said, apparently Branson got hit pretty good. If you've never been to Branson, you should really go. It's like every religious, right wing, good christian tea party, country music listening, fucktards wet dream. It's like heaven on earth for those kinda folks. When I was a kid my parents took us there at least a half dozen times. It was fun as a kid, it used to be a little different. There's Silver dollar city, and the water park, AKA, White Water. We had shit tons of fun there. My parents used to stay at Freddy Fender's hotel while we were there, but his son died in a scooter accident there, and old Freddy packed up his shit and left town. There were tons of shitty little t-shirt shops, I remember one had all these rad DRI t's that I wanted so bad, but my parents wouldn't let me buy one. I think I freaked them out earlier that same summer when I bought the Dead Kennedys "In God We Trust, Inc."  
At any rate, I have fond memories of the place as a 12 year old little prick. Now that I'm a full grown 35 year old prick, it looks dumb as fuck. I haven't been there in at least 20 years, but when I was a kid they had Freddy Fender there, a really sketchy wax museum and other assorted things to do if you weren't into country music, guns, and God. Yeah, they had some hillbilly shows and what not, but nothing compared to what they have now.
Now they feature such famous shows as, 24 Karat Country, 3 Redneck tenors, Alabama Revival, Bill Anderson, and then they have these guys. http://www.baldknobbers.com/
They've been there forever, and honestly if you can deal with the funny looks, Christ loving right wing idiots, and don't mind having to deal with retarded traffic it's probably still a good time. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the Hollywood Wax museum and the Ripley's Believe it or not museum didn't get fucked up.
