I'm running into day 5 of being sick on tour. I think Im over the hump, but I'm going to take it easy for a little while. No doctors, no antibiotics, nothing except excessive amounts of Robitussin, Airborne, hot tea, and 30 minute steaming showers.
I'll be within spitting distance of NYC tomorrow evening, and for the rest of the tour (except when we take a day in Amherst, MA). Hopefully I'll get to spend a little time with my family and perhaps get to do some of the fun New York Christmas things that never occur while living in Southen Ohio.
Cheers, fuckers... I'll be home in 2 weeks.

I Got Mine
So I got mine...
After I originated the pranking, I got served
I'm not pissed... I had it coming... actually, it's pretty funny, but my cell phone got fried in the process of being doused with water, salsa, honey mustard, shaving cream and God knows what else.
Goat, however... has a problem thinking things through. His luggage is in my room. Now he wants it. Hmmmmmm...
His bed is in my room.
Hmmmmm...
A word to the wise, plan thoroughly... plan for every outcome... because things may backfire!

Fuck OSU Fans
Yes, I rooted for the Buckeyes yesterday. Yes, I won a bet with my wife on that game, but I am not and never will be an OSU fan because of their classless, redneck fanbase.
I was in Columbus earlier this week before the game doing shows with displaceD. We all agree these people are insane. We heard death threats against people wearing Michigan clothes. We saw a car with a Michigan sticker get pounded with rocks and cinder blocks. There is no friendly competition.
Now, from South Bend, IN. I turn on CNN and see that there were 40-50 arrests, more than a dozen fires and 8 cars flipped over to CELEBRATE the victory.
"Hey let's tear someone else's shit up because our team won!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!"
Guess what? in 49 days they play for the National Championship. They'll probably win that one too. What kind of bedlam will come out of that?
I reiterate. I'm happy the Bucs won, but these "fans" are giving the team a shitty name.

Bullshitters
My friends, how many of you know this kind of guy?
The guy that manages to schmooze his way through life... the guy that can bullshit and smile his way into anything... the guy who has a job based on a presumption that he knows something about anything all the while he doesn't know shit from shineola...
I'm dealing with a schmuck like this a lot lately. All I want to do is throw him from the balcony of my hotel, but someone else would STILL have to clean up his mess. This fucking guy needs to go home NOW. No gas money, no farethewells, get the fuck out of here and away from this tour.
Sorry... I needed to vent.

Election Day
Several of my dear friends are posting bulletins begging people to go out and vote. Their sentiments are begging voters to go out and oust the Republicans.
My request is opposite.
Don't vote.
If you are going out with an attitude of voting for a specific party; If you vote based on how your church, parents, place of business, general demographic, or any outside influence tells you rather than voting based on the issues at hand and how they impact our society, don't vote. It makes a mockery of our republic and weakens our way of life.
Vote for whomever you choose, but make an informed decision. Visit the League of Women Voters website. This organization has all issues and candidates laid out for an individual to make a decision on without bias or outside influence.
Get smart, people. freedom isn't cheap.
