I know it's been a while, but I thought I might start up blogging again...
Last year after Google so thoughtfully decided to block my main blog, =CoffeeHouseStudio= without letting me access and fix whatever the hell problem they said there was so... I kinda lost heart for blogging.
You would think that they would put someone there to contact for help - but I guess they're too busy to help out with a "free blog"...
That was a few year's work they just decided to ditch and it was a real pain in the ass. I thought they were going after this one next - so I just stopped... Since that time, I found a few of the old archives here.
Things have changed quite a bit for me - not everything good - but I'm not gonna whine about it here. At least I still have a job and a roof over my head (for who knows how long).
Digger's gone out to the Southwest wilderness - and Moochie's run away, but I'm still here plugging away every day.
I need to get a hold of my old friends at the station to see if I can actually do a Summer Break Show. That always makes me feel like a bona fide human being again - so what the hell...

Spontaneous Apple Creation: 8/3/09
Another good one, but the air-conditioner was out last week, and someone closed the doors to the station and fried the compressors, so our air signal was a bit weak... MusikFest is in full swing.
Went by the Depot for a drink and late lunch, but they wanted us to pay $10. for parking and were pretty nasty - so I just blew it off and went in to say hi to my son - who works in the kitchen.
I can't get off from work, but Digger will be there at MusikFest Saturday at the station kiosk. Stop by and say hi. WLVR will be represented. (grin)

Digger made the show this week. We had a great talk about politics and government as usual.
No AC in the studio, A J was ready with the duct tape but Digger said he wouldn't use it... and fixed a broken fan so we had a bit of air movement.
MusikFest starts this weekend. I wonder if we'll make it down for a day... Finances may not allow - neither will my work schedule. Yes and Asia this Sunday or CSN next Sunday would be nice...

“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
– William Shakespere...
Sorry I couldn't make the station last week, since I was running around the Courthouse in a different county.
Hopefully Digger will be free and back on the airwaves with us next week (fingers crossed).
I really have a lot to say about the privatized prison system in this country - many things I didn't know were happening - but that will have to be another post. It gets me too angry, and this show really brought my spirits up, so we kind of want to stay there for a while. (smiles warily)

Taking some Time
I'm sitting here relaxing a bit - finally able to take a breath.
Had a bit of a hassle when I went to the prison last night - and I only got to see the D-Man for about 5 minutes. Frisking is not all it's made out to be... (visits are supposed to be a half hour long - I suppose if you don't happen to be wearing a hat, bandanna and a tie-dye.)
At least he got to see his daughter. Hope he's alright.
Looks like I'll be getting him out of the slammer soon (I hope... if all goes well).
Got him a lawyer Tuesday, and he's awesome. Calmed me down immensely.
Then I got an extended "line of credit" at the bank - signing the papers next Monday (thank gawd it went through). Then it's off to the Courthouse to pay the lawyer and the first set of fines . With Luck, he'll be transferred, the lawyer will show up and ask for a hearing, and I'll pay the second set of fines (the big ones) at the Courthouse in the next county - and he'll be released in time for the Fourth (please). Brings new meaning for me to the Independence Day thing...
Can't wait to give him a big fat hug and then a good bare-assed licking. I still think that cop had a hard-on for my man. If you'd have seen the smile on his face when he slapped the cuffs on... you'd know what I mean.
Damn this is such a racket it seems.
The charges were dropped years ago on the first warrant, but the fine still has to be paid.
Why?

SPONTANEOUS APPLE: 6/21/09
Still getting nowhere with legal matters - Digger's still in the slammer - but the least I can do is keep on going. I know he'd have loved to be with me today in the studio. He called during the show, and of course I ended up playing some Sabbath for him. (LOL)
He's in the medical unit, so I can almost breathe a sigh of relief.
We had a few other requests today - and thanks for listening. It's always awesome to talk with the listeners.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
This was my first show in the new time slot: 12noon - 3pm on Mondays for the summer.
I dedicated the show to my buddy (and roomate), Digger who happens to be sitting in jail at the moment. He was supposed to be with me on the air today, but got arrested last Thursday while walking into a convenience store to buy a pack of smokes. I was pumping gas at the time, and the cops were bastards. I thought I was back in the fucking 60's again...

Love or a Genu-ine Facsimile Thereof
- 12:00 am Friday:
This old Heart always seems to pick the worst scenario.
...or maybe it's just me...
I'm just a hopeless romantic, I suppose.
Doomed to be forever brokenhearted.
Or maybe not...
- 1:00 pm Thursday:
The K-9 'men' told me to go "Get Lost." they said - after running a check on my license. D-Man kissed me in front of them - while handcuffed - wild fucking look in his eyes and said he would call me. They shoved him in the car and wouldn't let me follow, so I ended up going to work.
I'm still waiting to hear from him - a nervous wreck... My heart's been beating miles a minute all day.
I'm just hoping that kiss wasn't a kiss goodbye...
- UPDATE:
Got the word on my compadre earlier today. Seems there was a parole violation (in another county from 2005). He didn't show up for a court date in this county, so they're holding him over - Magistrate dropped the charges - but he still has to pay $1,000 or spend 45 days in the slammer, and then go to jail in the other county.
Does that make any sense at all?
I want him back here with me where he belongs...
...Calling a lawyer on Monday. Something seems a bit out of kilter.

I Can't Drive 55
Almost snagged a 12-point buck on the trip back here last night... It was raining, and I saw 6 deer on my side of the road - so I slowed down (luckily). The damn thing ran right into my path from the other side of the highway. I slid across the road like I was on a sheet of ice - and continued homeward bound.
D-Man was home when I got there - all cleaned up and looking ready to go a few rounds - with chicken burritos in the oven for me. He's a sweet little fucker. Damn, I just wanted to grab a hold of him and lay a big wet one on him. I just gave him a big fat bear hug instead... Nobody's ever given enough of a shit about me to do that before. He made me feel like a million bucks (no pun intended).
Got up early today to go in and cook breakfast - because the other cook doesn't seem to know how to use the phone - I drove the 40 minutes down from the mountain, and lo and behold, he was just getting out of the car when I arrived - so I came back home.
D-Man's sleeping in the other room - I can hear his sexy measured breathing... I'm taking him back to the Doctor on Monday to get his throat examined thoroughly (we were in the emergency room last Tuesday night). Wish the best for him - he merits a good break for a change. My heart aches for him - all he ever seems to get is shit on, and he deserves so much better. His good health and happiness will be my only wish as I blow out my birthday candles. I probably don't have very many more left...
...but it's so good to have a home again, and I don't have to wish for that anymore.

A New Chapter Begins... Two Men & A Cat
Finally freed Mooch (my cat) from the clutches of Count Dracula & Count Chocula today. He's here with D-Man & me at the new place. I don't understand why they kept him, really - since they say they are both allergic to cats. It's just mind boggling to me. Holding a cat for ransom...
I still have the futon (which I'm sleeping on) and which they are trying to lay claim to. They have my bed, so... fair trade, as far as I'm concerned. The nerve of some people...
I must return to Castle Dracula one more time to get my upright bass, congas, paintings, art materials and some other personal items.
I wonder if they'll let me take my things - or if they'll say they belong to them.
Drac gave me a list of things that he wants returned - he says they are his, but he knows differently. He's turned into such a lying bastard lately. It's really sad to see what he's become. He called me "irresponsible" and "negligent" in his last phone message. Strangely, although it's not humorous in the least, I got a big laugh out of that. What a putz. At least I got my pussy...

The Power Of Love Is Infinite
...at least that's what the tea leaves read.
...and yes, I'm still working on it - it's always a work in progress.
An hour and a half massage to a twisted nerve in the neck and shoulder can reveal a few things about someone's desires - and what a hunky bantam bastard he is! He does remind me of a rooster - all puffed up and tuff like he tries to come off - but with me - he shows his tender side. I stroke his long gorgeous hair to the front of his furry chest and explore his muscular and compact shoulders, rubbing that spot that makes him groan with relief in that gruff-sexy voice. The whole damn ritual of it turns me on wildly as I cajole my throbber on his back ever so lightly - and he likes it as much as I do... It just seems that I always get myself into these situations, and I don't know how or why that happens.
I often wonder why these guys like me - enough to trust me with their true feelings. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining - I quite enjoy every second of this sport. "Straight" tough guys, questioning their views on sex with another guy - it can be very rewarding or even dangerous - and I'm still hoping that it will be the former for us.
He's the great outdoorsy type. He wants me to go camping with him. I half-joke and say we'll only need one sleeping bag because it's so cold. He nods in agreement...
I know I could take him to all those wonderful places that he's never been before - if he'd only let me.
Trust is earned...
Time will tell - I'm a patient man.
I will follow it as surely as
the land-locked salmon finds the sea."

Singled Out
I still can feel it - after a year.
That passion - the ecstasy - and yes, the pain that comes along after the fast and furious ride. Longing to be in your arms again. Holding you tight.
I will always love you. Nothing reserved from this side.
Full out and blazing hot - the way it should be.
It would be amazing to see you again.
Bring me back to life Fucker...
I pray that one day it can be... Perhaps tonight.
Until then I'll be "The Actor".
Con todo mi cariño.

Happy New Year - Atonement
Being of Celtic origin, this is the spiritual time of year for me - that time when I take a few moments to reflect and "regroup" my way of doing things or even how I think about things. It's usually an uplifting experience for me.
I hope everyone had a great Hallowe'en - I had a visit from a Benevolent Spirit yesterday, at a time when I was feeling lost and helpless... It was a moment of self-realization for me - and I thank the Spirits that watch out for me.
PEACE & LOVE

There Is Nothing Like A Gov't Mule Concert
...to brighten your spirit. My latest take-off on the famous Grateful Dead slogan. ;o)
Penn's Peak is an awesome venue, if you ever get the chance to attend an event there - don't miss it! Especially if the band involved is Gov't Mule.
Yesterday, as it turned out was Jerry Garcia's Birthday - and I could think of no better way than to go out and celebrate his life at an awesome concert. Of course I hadn't planned this. I was the proud recipient of a "miracle ticket" and then had the privilege of meeting the band backstage after the concert - Thanks to A.J., Jay and Rich. I don't think that anyone can truly understand what all this has done for me. I actually feel like a real human being again.
As I was writing the playlist from yesterday's show, I got a call about going to the concert that evening. (it was sold out - and I had no ticket). Jay and A.J. took care of all that for me - and even provided me with a means of transportation to and from the venue. I love these guys... It seems I do have a few friends left after all... They look out for me and genuinely care about my well-being. Friends like these guys are a precious commodity.
I cried like a baby when "The Mule" played a few Garcia classics last night:
"Deal > Terrapin > Loser"
...and with their version of "Dear Prudence" (The Beatles)
which was also a staple of the Jerry Garcia Band - the deal was sealed.
The parking lot scene was a bit like a mini-Grateful Dead Concert, and brought all these old memories flooding back from days gone by - and it made me realize just how much I actually loved this type of scene. I felt like I was home again after too long of an absence.
Warren, Matt, Danny and Andy...
Thanks for the best time.
Rock On Forever.
