Here I sit, watching VH1 classic as I am too old to watch regular VH1.
As I watch these videos which are 20 plus years old, I am reminded of the time I used to watch these same videos on MTV and would not have been caught dead changing the channel from 50 to 49.
All that above was just the set up.
I am watching these segments of the past on a 53" television from about 9 ft away and I am having trouble reading the words on the screen.
(thank goodness I am a good typist, the computer screen is a whopping 18" inches away from my eyes)
Oy!!!

I have always said, "Things Happen For A Reason," I'm just not sure why I am never consulted on these things.
An Update from a January Post:
Wiggles was laid off from the LA Times and he is going to take this free time as a sign from God. He is going to turn his experience into a movie. He has already spoken with execs and whatnot.
Ah, flip flop, again the spotlight hits where it hurts.

Fay, Fay Go Away
Ho Hum,
We are hunkered down waiting for Tropical Storm Fay to get us all wet. I have to get on a conference call at 9pm to find out if I have to go to work tomorrow. Hopefully I won't have to and I can have fun at the hurricane party.
I bought a flashlight, a candle and peanut butter.
I feel prepared.

House of Boo Hiss
Soooo....
Vanilla and I just got back from the O-R-L tonight.
We went to see a show at the House of Blues, aka, the House of Take all the fun out of everything.
Some of ya'll may know that last year I attended a fun little ditty called Rock N' Roll Fantasy Camp with Drummer Man. Actually we attended two camps, one in New York and one in Las Vegas.
For those of ya'll that don't know, these camps are very expensive, week-long music camps intended for those who want to hang out a play music with Rock Stars. At the end of the week the campers put on a show and perform on stage with the rock stars.
For this summer, the camp is traveling around doing 1 day camps, Still fun, but only a third of the cost.
For those who are lucky enough to attend, this is a dream come true, something to remember for the rest of their life.
Since I didn't have a backstage pass this time I was forced to buy tickets. No problem, I have no problem supporting this event, anything to keep it going.
What I did have a problem with was paying ticketmaster $24.90 in "convenience charges" for two $25 tickets.
I also had a problem with waiting in line for an additional 20 minutes after the "doors open at" time.
Another problem I had was that people who spent $20 at the bar beforehand got to go to the front of the line.
Something else I had a problem with was being frisked and wanded before going into the venue.
Problem #32 was that we could not take our camera inside and had to pay $2 for a teenager in a bright yellow shirt, labeling themselves as "security" to "watch" our camera.
Now, this one really bugged me considering the nature of the event. These folks paid $3000 to play 3 songs onstage with Rockstars, some of them are just kids, and the venue isn't going to let their mom take a picture????
Problem: the teenager lies. The four foot tall, 98 pound "security" girl says that one cannot take a picture because of the artwork on the wall.
Issue number one, all the artwork on the walls of any House of Blues looks like it was done by a four year old.
Issue number two, I took about 300 pictures inside the House of Blues in Las Vegas (same stupid artwork),
Issue number three, the same stupid artwork is inside the restaurant and no one frisked me to go in there,
Issue number four, Britanee as we will call her also said that the musicians don't want cameras inside either. When I mentioned the confiscation of my camera to Kip Winger, he about had a fit.
Don't lie to me Britanee.
Here's another one, No Reentry. Unless there is a medical condition.
So you're saying that if I break my leg, I can go out to my car and come back in.
Sorry, but if I have a medical problem that requires me to leave, I probably don't want to come back.
So, I can't go to my car to get money or anything, I have to use your stupid ATM which has a charge of $3.75 per usage so that I can go to the cash only table and buy a bag of Fritos for $4!
My experience at this House gave me the Blues.

Google this!!!
So from time to time, I like to do a search on the internet for.... me.
Come on, you've all done it, admit it.
So the most recent change is the number one link is one that lists me in the credits of a Thrash, Death Metal album.
Not my most shining moment, but I happened to be in the studio taking pictures for some friends when I ended up on the album.
Alas, I am known by Germany's metalheads as "the Black Queen."
sigh.
