Hummer: Now Made in China

Apparently Hummer is being sold to a Chinese company named Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company Ltd.

While I sadly, miss my old Hummer that I had before the Cayenne (that thing would drive over anything and everything) I am suspect of the brand lasting in America.

Unless they take my new marketing idea!



HA HA HA HA HA!!!

All They Got To Rule The Nation...

...when all I've got is precious time

It is happening in 2008 too, which means we are all getting free Dr. Pepper. Free Dr. Pepper!!! I pre-ordered my copy because I am a big rock fan, as you all are aware. And, if you pre-order off iTunes you get the first single, Chinese Democracy.

Think about all the crap that has happened the last year with the first black President, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays making it to the World Series, and Keith Richards still alive.

If the album is anything like the first single, this thing is going to be big on rock radio!!

Remember I predicting this thing was going to happen this year with my post labels. Check out the label below that says "Guns and Roses Chinese Democracy release 2008"

Red, Gold, Blue Orange, and Lots of White

I am on the road this week. This time up north to one of my favorite cities.

It is freaking HOT!!! Dude... humid too... At least I can breathe. And that is a good thing. My eyes are back to their original color.

Accidentally took too much pain meds in 12 hours. This isn't the fun kind of pain meds like Vicodin where you get a cool buzz and shit... This was a nerve pain blocker I take and because I left at 4 AM and because I took the previous dose only 7 hours earlier instead of 12, I was fuct up.

At least the meeting wasn't until this afternoon which gave me time to drink it off with water. Holy crap dude... I usually take it at 6 and 6 or 7 and 7 or 8 and 8 but 9 and then 4...oops!!

So like, I wanted a mild dinner and so I looked up Jared Burger (Subway...eat fresh!) on the Google nearest to my hotel. I found one a mere 3 blocks away so I walked... forgetting it was 150 out and I forgot shorts and comfortable non-dress shoes. Anyhow... I wandered through downtown and found my place to eat.

I walk in and no one is in this place except of course the worker. And it was "likes to talk guy" behind the counter. You know, the single serving friend on a plane that does not shut the hell up. Only it wasn't a dude, it was a chick and she was on the phone. I never made eye contact but I guess she was like late 40's. In the span of 3 minutes after she got off the phone, I heard about her fuct up son with his illegitimate kid, her the grandma working for $10 bucks an hour (which is quite modest for Subway if you ask me), the success and how nice the other grandmother is and about her own mother still caring for her mother who is like 95... I was like, holy shit... 95 for the matriarch, 70 maybe for the great grandma, 45 for her and 20 for her son and like 3 for the daughter because she is upright and speaking... so I gathered from the long assed one sided conversation I was not having...

I wanted to cut her off but the story kept getting better as she was running her mouth. I was waiting for her to say that she was related to Johnny Knoxville from Jackass... and that her brother was a crack dealer in the state pen or something because shit, you did not know what was coming out of that lady next... Damn... and then she gave me a discount...

It was freaking cool I guess. Reminded me of my own mom...

My turkey sandwich with lettuce... I am the world's pickiest eater, period.

Lack Of Words.

Had some dry spells in posting lately. I wonder what it is. I can't seem to say what I want. Can't always feel the way I want.

Just there...

Not Everyone... Can Carry The Weight Of The World

Talk about the passion

Eerie... I sat in the airport this morning. I downloaded REM's awesome new album while waiting for my plane at 5 AM. What a weird thing to buy music through the air. You'd think they could make it easier.

Where to begin? I did something today... I was highly successful.. and I cannot talk about it due to my confidentiality agreement between my business life and personal life.

I fucking rule and that is it.

Meanwhile, Boise Idaho...

I love this town. If I could move here I would. Boise State... Blue and Orange football fields. I love it. I got off the plane and it was 32 and I wondered why there was ice on the ground. It is closer to fly here than into LA from Sactown which is weird to me because I technically fly across two states to get here. (For those of you keeping score at home... Oregon and Nevada)

It's clean and neat and the weather is decent. Majestic views of snow capped mountains... The Snake River... cheap real estate and it has got to be the pub capital of the world. I went to the Tablerock Brewery. This shit was good. I had their St Andrews Amber and their something or other Dog Pale Ale. I actually ate chicken for my meal and if you know me, when I order chicken I am being odd. I am a beef guy. I never eat anything else but... except if it is roast turkey or pulled pork. But chicken? C'mon Steve, was there spicy Buffalo sauce on it or something?

Yeah...

What a week and I am glad it is over tomorrow. I fly home early... And then I will do nothing but play with Elijah since he is off from day care...
