Elijah's First Eats...

Well... second try because Youtube.com couldn't get it going all day.


(Apologies to Lawryde's wife for deleting her nice comment.)

And The Blog Goes On....

One of my all time favorite songs, performed by it's writer...

At one time, my story paralleled the tale in this song. Up until I was like 23. The words verbatim seem to fit my life at the time. Yeah... but then I grew up. I think. It was a good reason though to pick up a guitar and give it a go.

Life changes so much, it's extremely perplexing. I had a real big moment of clarity tonight when I was sitting with my sister in law and Elijah, all strapped into his swing. See, Elijah was sitting there smiling away and staring at us and I picked up my guitar and started playing. Nothing too complex, just some blues riffs and Elijah was totally into it. First looking at my strumming hand, then my chord hand, and then back, as he attempted to dance and jump around. He was totally wide-eyed, just sitting back and admiring. It felt... well good!! I have enjoyed an occasion like this before with him and my guitar but for some reason... He was just into it. It was different than just some smiles and giggles. It looked like pure admiration.

It's like: Wow... I have a fan. :)

Steve: Can We Just Go?!?!?

Okay... here is the final scene from poker night, the other night. Watch how I get pissed off... I just dealt the river and I am abruptly halted by my friend Scott who wants to film the final action as I lay down the last card.

Then his freaking battery goes dead.... LOL!!!

Watch me as yell, "Can we just go?" Really shocked there are no "f-bombs" from me.

This Video Makes Me Uncomfortable

Ice storm in Portland yesterday. It is frightening yet, you want to keep watching. Don't drive on ice!!!

Sorrow....

One of my favorite singers, Greg Graffin from Bad Religion. Sometimes when I think of all the shit wrong in the world, I like to listen to this song. This version is so awesome with Greg on acoustic without the rest of the band.

Needles and Pins

Great cover song by the Ramones, called "Needles and Pins" and that is all I can think about this week.

This is me:

Yesterday... Dentist. Repairs old filling. Has to shoot me twice because the first novacaine ain't biting.

Next Monday, steroid injections right into the base of my spine. Supposedly this will help my lower back to help me walk better, with out that limp. Hey, I can run and jump and climb and lift just about anything right now but walking without a limp sometimes can't be done. Hopefully these will rid the pain in my lower back and leg.

Also beginning next week: Acupuncture. Six sessions with a lady from China sticking needles and pins up and down my neck and down my arms. Woo hoo!! Fun. I get to go six times too!! If the first one doesn't work I get to keep going...

Had three sessions since before the holidays with the pain psychologist. This guy is cool. I get to clip this thing onto my ear and sit for 20 minutes while I try to relax. The screen beeps green when you start going along, but keeping it green is the hard part. I sat in red for a couple of minutes until I got the thing moving. All this from this tiny plastic clip on my ear lobe.

I hope to bring a camera for the acupuncture. For some reason I want a picture of me laying on the table with all those needles in my back.

Maybe after all this crap, I can get a tatoo.
