Three reblogs in a row.
I’ve never done that before.

I have a great sense of humor but I generally don’t like April Fools Day gags. Here’s some funny ones, but these people are laughing at you, not with you.

Fleshtones Documentary Trailer →
There’s Dictators in this here trailer!
No Ross The Boss, but Dictators nonetheless.
Death Angel →
Just found out Death Angel had a new album out in Feb. Sounds like old Death Angel. Not as funky as Act III but its pretty good anyhoo. (and they’re touring starting in May!)
This is a band that decided to change their name a bunch of times in the early 90s and disown all the awesome things they’d done to make me a fan in the first place.
It’s great to see they’ve...
I tried working in an office like regular people.
I didn’t really like it.
I tried having bangs.
I didn’t really like them either.
I’m glad I did them both at the same time.
Now I think I’ll live a life I like with good hair.

I skipped Easter this year
Not like I ever really celebrated it (self-proclaimed Athiest Jew) but it usually doesn’t pass by without me eating a bunch of chocolates. weird.

Ten Greatest Breakup Songs →
From shawnblog
I only reblog this list to express my disappointment that “The Breakup Song” by Greg Kihn didn’t make the list.
I’d probably add “Here I Go Again” by Whitesnake when you weren’t looking and then claim no knowledge of who put that on the list.
FRONTLINE: Bush's War | PBS →
Watch the full program streaming from the PBS site.
Four hours worth of a well-done documentary detailing what happened between 9-11 and now.

handy! I love that my browser does everything nowadays.
Got a part-time job at a garden center
to keep myself from being bored while I’m unemployed. I would have blogged it but I was pretty busy the whole time moving plants around and making the displays look pretty for people to buy.
It’s the exact opposite of my last job. Get in, do what needs to be done, get out when you’ve done it.
I like that a lot.
Marco.org: How to make good coffee →
From marco:
Dawn makes bad coffee. At least she realizes it. That’s the first step to overcoming this terrible affliction. Here’s how to make good coffee.
“Ross, sin tí, los Manowar nunca volverán a ser lo mismo. Eres el number one.”
– a guy called “warlord” on Ross The Boss’ MySpace comments. I don’t have to speak Spanish to know I agree with that.
For years I've been saying "I should have moved...
Dawn: No you can't move back, because then you're gonna be all excited to do all these boring things I'm so over and you're gonna call me up and we're gonna go to skyline and it's going to seem like fun again and Cincinnati's not gonna suck anymore and I'll never get out.
Crank: It'll still suck. And you should still get out.
Dawn: You promise?
Crank: I promise.
Q: How many Rockabillies does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Ten. One to change the bulb and nine others to say the original was better.
Keep It True Festival Book
In honor of the 10th edition of the Keep It True Festival, photographer and graphic designer Jowita Kaminska and her boyfriend Simone Peruzzi have compiled a book about the festival and its history. Ross The Boss’ appearances at KIT VI and KIT VII were highlights for sure and he is featured prominently in the book which is now available for pre-ordering.

I went to see LIONS tonight. A damn fine Rock and Roll band from Austin TX, one of the many interesting places I often have fantasies about moving to.
Since there’s so much nothing-to-do here and no-one-to-do-it-with, I got this idea in my head that this show was some sort of mystical sign and that if I went I would surely have an epiphany of some sort about what to do with myself next.

What do they do to you when there's a problem?
I got a mysterious voice mail message from the Drs office this afternoon. I called in and waited on hold for a long time while people tried to figure out who I was and what they had to tell me.
When I finally got a person who knew what was going on she said “It says ‘Notify patient of normal mammogram’”.
That scared the bejezus outta me.
