1. For What It’s Worth

I took yesterday off of work so I could run and do some errands I had to do during the week, so we did not post a blog. Thanks again to Will C for his help yesterday. He is a good friend and always helps me out. We even had Church’s Chicken for lunch/brunch, which was good.  I had not had that for a very long time.  The side order of mashed potatoes and gravy sucked really bad, but otherwise it was all good. It actually put me in a serious nap mode after I got home and later laid down on the coma couch. I was out for a 2-hour nap.  It was nice, and what a beautiful day it was to run around and do errands.  It was an enjoyable day all in all. Snoopy enjoyed me being home most of the day, taking her own nap by laying her head down and resting it on my legs, as usual.  She really is a good puppy dog!  Snoopy thinks I am very lucky to be her cherished “dog butler”.

We are having a going away luncheon for Nick, one of our annual interns, today at Uncle Bill’s Pancake House, a little family run place in Manhattan Beach.  Strange place to have lunch but I know the breakfasts have always been good when I have been there before. Not sure what they have to offer for their lunch menu. I guess I’ll catch a ride with someone with a car since I rode my bicycle into work, as usual.  I heard we might be getting some rain soon, so that will kinda suck for bike riding. I guess I won’t be riding it in on those days.  I guess we really need the rain now here in California.

Good grief, have you ever seen the “Reality show” called, “The Devil’s Ride”?  It is supposedly about these 2 motorcycle clubs/biker gangs in the San Diego area that are at odds with each other.  All these losers are worried about is their so-called loyalty, respect and their reputations amongst each other. Hey guys!  Get a grip! You are all losers wasting your lives away worried about crap that has no purpose, unless you are concerned about who controls what areas for drug selling, intimidating people who are not as strong as you are (or think you are), etc.  They say they are in the gang  to belong to a group. Camaraderie among “Brothers”.  What a bunch of BS it all is.  Haters hating is what it is.  Nothing more than that. Beating down others because they’re in a different gang and belong to a different group. 

This TV show reminds me of British hooligans at Soccer matches. One of their new guys, called a prospect, did not even have a motorcycle before he wanted to join up.  It is truly laughable and a waste of time and energy.  Hey guys, trying doing some good for your community instead of  becoming future guests of hospitals, prisons or morgues.  We really got better things to do besides taking care of your future needs, no matter what institution you will be heading to, it will cost society more money in the long run.  Grow up, you Losers!  You give motorcyclists a bad reputation.  Maybe we should beat all your asses for doing that to our reputation?

2. Today’s Music Trivia Contest

Today’s musical artist is a 4-member American band that formed in 1972 and their self-titled album debuted in 1978, which was a monster commercial hit and with fans.  The band formed in Pasadena, California, but the two main members are brothers who were actually Dutch born. With numerous hits, sold out concerts and many albums produced, this band has had a turmoil-filled off stage persona. Switching lead singers multiple times and also changing their long time bass player, this band has suffered and also enjoyed the change in personnel giving each phase a different and evolving artistic flavor. Even though the lead member has been in and out of rehab a few times, and has also dealt with a couple  of surgeries, this band still is putting out music that sells. Can you name this mega-popular American 4-member rock band?

Yesterday’s Answer to the Music Trivia Contest:   Artist  =  UB40
