Second Friday in December, 2013…
Today’s music trivia is a detour from our usual rock and
roll bands that we normally feature.
Today’s featured artist is pretty much a jazz trumpet player, singer and
worldwide performer that became the unofficial ambassador for the United
States. His soulful singing voice and
excellent trumpet playing made him a household name. His rendition of, “It’s a
Wonderful World” still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Nicknamed “Satchmo”, this performer was one
of a kind. Can you name this iconic jazz musical performer who passed away in
the early 1970s?
The other day I was reading my owner’s manual again for my
Porsche 911 Carrera and I saw an interesting notation in the
specifications. It states that you must
slow down to 122 MPH before downshifting.
Most cars people drive can’t even get their speed up to 122, let alone
having to slow down to that speed before downshifting. Does anyone out there have that notation
highlighted in their specification section of their owner’s manual? I’m guessing not so much. J
Snoopy and I went to the tavern last night and we were
aggressively greeted by a local guy who was drunk on his ass. Him and I don’t get along very well because
he was one of the first professional beach volleyball players and he thinks the
world of himself. I myself think beach
volleyball is a chick’s sport and his ugly ass should of never been on a beach
volleyball court ever. He should of
played a man’s sport like hockey and then he can feel like he played an actual
sport. This guy Tim gets belligerent
when he’s drunk and I was sober when I first saw him and I just wanted to clean
his clock. All night he was going on and
on, and I really just wanted to make him go away or put him to sleep with a
right cross. My friends said it was not
worth it and then someone got him to go inside finally.
Later on I went to the restroom and when I came back some
girl had taken Snoopy by the leash I was trying to steal her saying that she
needed to be better treated or some hogwash.
My friend went down and grabbed the leash from her and she started
babbling something out of her drunk ass mouth.
I was wondering, what is this?
Amateur drunk night out? Needless
to say I wanted to kick this girl’s ass trying to steal my puppy dog. Then I figured I needed a couple of shots
after all this turmoil. WTF was going on
this night?
Today I slept in until 8:30 AM, which I rarely do. It felt good to do so. Snoopy tried waking me earlier in the
morning, but I wouldn’t have it. I was
going to enjoy sleeping in for at least one day. When I finally got up I found a mess in the
living room and evidence of Snoopy eating my leftovers from last night. The paper bag my food was in was shredded and
all over the floor. Well, I took all of
that mess and put it inside Snoopy’s box, her carrier that is basically her dog
house, then I made her go sit in it for at least an hour with all the trash in
it. Anyways, I left all that mess in her
box all day, so now maybe she will get the hint. I also put back on her training collar to
reinforce by wishes and my commands. We
see how things go for a few days.
Bark Less and Wag More!
Until next time… Be Good!
