More Than A Porpoise, More Than A Man, A Manimal

I want a Porpoise who will laugh for no one else

I forgot to mention that Torgo is now representing on my computer. I feel very tired today. I came into work pretty locked into a particular project, but I got pulled off for an emergency fix on another document. Pretty boring info for you, but I hate having my flow interrupted, slows me down at work, which makes work go slower. I am listening to my Brian Wilson Pet Sounds Live CD that my rents got me for Christmas, so it is helping me get through the day. It is the greatest pop record ever made. Someday I need to get the Pet Sounds box set, 4 cd’s of pure genius.

Last night I went to a free show at a venue called the Casbah, near little Italy downtown SD. The venue was basically like Frankies in Toledo, but about twice the size. And they had a classic video game arcade, including Galaga and Ms PacMan, so that was really cool. There were three bands playing, all local. The main band that I went to see was called the Displaced. They kinda sound like the White Stripes, but not really. It’s hard to describe them. There is a girl bass player in the band and she is from Toledo. I know this because they have a song called Toledo. I emailed them to ask them about the song and the chica told me she grew up in Toledo, so there you have it. They were pretty good live, but I’m glad I didn’t have to pay for it. If your interest are peaked, you can check them out at www.thedisplaced.com. You can download the Toledo song there as well. Tracey did not want to go, and she would not have liked the music anyway, so I went alone. As I have mentioned before, I miss going to shows with people, something that was always available back in OhSoHio. Tracey and I just don’t like enough of the same bands, which is fine. But I need some help out here. I think someone should move out here just to go to shows with me, that sounds like a good enough reason, don’t you think? It’s Tuesday, which means I play bball today, although I probably shouldn’t because I’m still pretty sore from the long bike ride on Sunday, but got to work down the gut. I think I gained ten pounds over Christmas, ima pig. Godspeed to my parents as they fly.
