THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNS...

My behavior has been
INEXCUSABLE.
UNACCEPTABLE.
IRRESPONSIBLE.
Not a peep, or blurb. Not so much as a picture since what?
APRIL 12th?!?!?!?
I'm ashamed of myself, and I would understand if you had nothing more to do with me Blog.
I know I promised you that I would tell you all sorts of interesting (and sometimes not so interesting) things every day, and I haven't kept that promise to you as of late.
I've been busy, but not SO busy, that I can't take a few minutes to say what up to you Blog.
I'm sorry for leaving ya high and dry. This time though, I'm NOT going to make empty promises to you friend- I will ONLY commit to writing whenever time permits.

On to tonite's ramblings.
1. The sprout's appetite is downright SCARY. Godzilla can't eat as much as the kid. Today he had SIXTEEN ounces of formula/milk, and water, some cereal, and he then managed to nurse twice from the lovely wife when she got home. He ate again when she finished eating, and we KNOW he will eat again at about 4:00 a.m. Let's see. He went to bed at around 10:30, and it's 11:05 now, so yeah. 4:00/4:30 a.m. is about right. I just can't believe the kid is piling it in like this. The wife believes he's doing all this cluster feeding because he is groWING.

2. Fortune has smiled down upon me-
I have been invited to the Ziggy Marley concert by Scotty-D on May 3rd. He ended up winning tix to the show from the local radio station CD 101. Just about a month ago, he invited me to see Toots and the Maytals at the Alrosa Villa after winning tix to THAT show. GREAT concert by the way. I think Minty and her husband Easy Rider will be there along with Ms. Rohr if you're nasty. I can't wait to hang out with all my friends. I'm still working on the lovely wife. The show falls on a "school night" and the wife is a little apprehensive about going out. I'm sure the show will end at 11:00 (noise ordinance), and because it's a Slightly early evening, it may give me a little weight. The Ace up my sleeve is the fact that one of my FAVORITE bands is coming and I am going to miss them because it will be a late late evening, it's a school night, AND we don't have a sitter. Just knowing that Los Straitjackets are coming on Thursday, and I won't be there is KILLING ME.
So maybe I can guilt the wife into going to see Ziggy with me. I'll even buy her ticket.
Oh yeah, fortune has nodded my way again, and provided me with an opportunity to borrow "A Man Without A Country"- Kurt Vonnegut's last novel from Scotty-D. (The guy's a regular St. Nick) I assume it's sort of a pseudo-autobiography.
I can't wait to start. I'm in the middle of Ian Flemming's "Goldfinger", but in my book Vonnegut outranks 007 any day.

3. Yesterday, I was called a "politician" by a friend of mine.
I don't know what to make of it.
Does he consider me a Grover Cleveland, or a Lyndon Johnson? Am I a Barack Obama, or am I a George Wallace? There is a HUGE difference.
Does he mean that I'm just spewing bullshit and lies whenever I speak, or does he feel that I only say what I think the person involved in a conversation with me wants to hear?
I'm aware of the fact that I have been known to bullshit, and sugar-coat (sometimes at the same time) but I don't feel I continuously do this. There's no ulterior motive to my "bullsugar" but maybe it seems so to others. Self perception is usually WAYYY off. I haven't been called on it in a long time and Never by a friend. Rest assured, I'm far from offended. Shit, I Needed to hear it from a friend. Otherwise, it would have gone in one and out the other.
I need to ponder his comment a little more, and then I guess I'll go from there. If anybody that knows me has any evidence to support or refute his statement, or advice a dropped line would be most appreciated.

Ok. My fingers hurt, and I'm about to start in on this novel before I zonk out for the evening.
PEACE.
By the way, can SOMEONE please explain to me Exactly what instant messaging is? I feel like my parents must have when faced with the obstacle of programming the date and time on their VCR.
