TYPEWRITERS N STUFF N STUFF

WHEN I FIRST STARTED TYPING & TOOK TYPING CLASS AT SCHOOL, IT WAS ON AN OLD FASHIONED TYPEWRITER. I GOT AN AWARD IN THE 9TH GRADE FOR TYPING 45WPM ON THAT ANCIENT THING.

THEN MY FIRST JOB - I WAS THRILLED TO ACTUALLY GET TO USE AN ELECTRIC TYPEWRITER. AND THE REQUIRED TYPING TEST WAS A BREEZE.....PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

NOWADAYS, WHAT THE HELL IS A TYPEWRITER??? I'M SO SERIOUS THO'.........DOES ANYONE REALLY USE A TYPEWRITER ANYMORE??? 

DEF LEPPARD N STUFF N STUFF

DEF LEPPARD IS ANOTHER AMAZING BAND!! I SAW THEIR "HYSTERIA" TOUR WITH TESLA, BACK IN NOVEMBER 1987 AT THE COW PALACE. TALK ABOUT A HELL OF A SHOW.....

THEY HAD THIS STAGE THAT REVOLVED AROUND IN A CIRCLE AND THAT STUFF WAS TOUGH....I NEVER SAW NOTHIN' LIKE IT!!! AND TO ADD TO MIRACULOUS:  THIS WAS THE FIRST TOUR THEY HAD BEEN ON SINCE THE DRUMMER LOST HIS ARM IN A CAR ACCIDENT. HE WAS TRULY INSPIRING N STUFF!!!

THEY ARE ON TOUR THIS YEAR AND I THINK I AM DEFINITELY GONNA GO TO THEIR UPCOMING SHOW N STUFF. "POISON" IS OPENING FOR THEM (WHO I ALSO SAW WITH TESLA BUT AT A DIFFERENT CONCERT). THE SHOW IS IN CONCORD IN A FEW WEEKS & I'LL BE A ?#@STUFF N STUFF IF I DON'T MAKE IT............

SO, I WAS GOING THRU SOME OF MY PACK-RAT STUFF THE OTHER NITE AND I FOUND THIS OLD TICKET STUB FROM THE COW PALACE. THIS WAS FROM THE SCORPIONS CONCERT I WENT TO ON OCTOBER 14, 1988. I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT IN THE PARKING LOT BUT STILL MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO THE SHOW WHILE THE OPENING ACT "WINGER" WAS STILL ON N STUFF.

I'LL TELL YOU, EVERY CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO HAS SOME EXTRAORDINARY MEMORIES FOR ME (IF I CAN EVEN REMEMBER THEM). I DO REMEMBER THIS SHOW AND IT WAS A FRIGGIN' BLAST N STUFF........THE SCORPIONS ARE NEVER DISAPPOINTING.

AND YES, THEY ARE ON TOUR THIS YEAR N STUFF. UNFORTUNATELY I BELIEVE THEY HAVE FINISHED TOURING IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT THEY STILL HAVE UPCOMING DATES IN THE UKRAINE, FRANCE, GERMANY, BRAZIL AND A FEW OTHER COUNTRIES. THEIR THE STUFF N STUFF........ROCK ON WITH IT!!!!!!

ALL IN DENIAL N STUFF N STUFF

OK, NOW THIS IS JUST CRAZY N STUFF!!! IT HAS JUST COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IN DENIAL ABOUT THE GETTING OLD THING........MATTER OF FACT, IT SEEMS THE MAJORITY IS IN DENIAL!

AS I WRITE POSTS ABOUT CONCERTS I'VE BEEN TO, I ALWAYS GOOGLE EACH BAND TO GET A PICTURE OR WHATEVER. I'VE NOTICED THAT EACH BAND JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE ON TOUR - THIS YEAR 2012!!

SO I GOT REALLY CURIOUS AND WROTE DOWN ALL THE BANDS I COULD REMEMBER SEEING IN CONCERT (OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD). 

THEN I GOOGLED EACH ONE OF THEM; AND DO YOU KNOW THAT OUT OF "50" BANDS; "45" OF THEM ARE ON TOUR THIS YEAR.....AND MOST OF THESE BANDS I SAW A GOOD 25 YEARS AGO (GIVE OR TAKE).

SO, AS I SAID, IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IN DENIAL....AND IF THEY ARE STILL TOURING, THEN I AM STILL GOING!!!!!!  ROCK ON N STUFF......

(want to see what bands were included in my list of 50??? stay tuned for my next post)

Y & T N STUFF N STUFF

OK SO ANOTHER ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BANDS IS "Y & T". THEIR MUSIC IS JUST THE BOMB N STUFF. HOW ABOUT "MEANSTREAK" OR "LIPSTICK & LEATHER". OH YEAH, "SUMMERTIME GIRLS", "RESCUE ME", & THE ALL-TIME CLASSIC "FOREVER".

I'VE BEEN TO SEVERAL Y & T CONCERTS. ONE OF THE SHOWS WAS AT THE GREEK THEATRE IN BERKELEY WITH ACE FREHLEY FROM KISS. CAN'T SAY MUCH FOR ACE, BUT Y & T PERFORMED AS ALWAYS.........AWESOME!!! 

I REMEMBER GOING TO SEE THEM AT THE OMNI (I BELIEVE IS IN BERKELEY OR OAKLAND) AND THIS PLACE WAS SO CROWDED THAT THE MIRRORS IN THE BATHROOMS WERE COMPLETELY FOGGED UP N STUFF.

LITERALLY, YOU WERE ALL SWEATING SO BAD THAT, YOU KNOW THE FEELING WHEN YOUR AT A CONCERT AT THE FRONT OF THE STAGE??? WELL THAT'S HOW THE ENTIRE PLACE FELT.....BUT IT WAS STILL HELLA FUN N STUFF!!! 

THE FUNNEST PART WAS DAVE MENIKETTI (THE FINE ASS LEAD SINGER/GUITARIST) CAME RIGHT UP TO ME AT THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AND GAVE ME HIS GUITAR PICK N STUFF!!!!! I THOUGHT I'D JUST DIE.......AHHH, SWEET MEMORIES N STUFF!!!!!

INCENSE N STUFF N STUFF

REMEMBER INCENSE N STUFF??? WELL THE INCENSE GOES RIGHT ALONG WITH THE CANDLES.....

I ALWAYS LIKED THE STRAWBERRY SCENTED STICKS. HOW ABOUT ALL THE COOL DIFFERENT INCENSE BURNERS N STUFF. SOME OF THE SCENTS WERE JUST TOO MUCH THOUGH.

BUT WHEN YOU BURN THE INCENSE WHEN YOUR BURNIN' YOUR CANDLES AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR AC/DC PLAYIN' AND YOU GOT SOME YUMMY GUY N STUFF N STUFF........JUST SAYIN'!

CANDLES & BOTTLES N STUFF N STUFF

YOU KNOW I USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND I HAVEN'T FOR SOME TIME NOW. I THINK I'M GONNA MAKE THAT MY NEXT LIL' PROJECT N STUFF. YEP, MAKIN' DRIP BOTTLES. PROBABLY THE EASIEST & RELAXING OF ALL MY PROJECTS.

JUST GET YOURSELF SEVERAL TAPERED CANDLES OF VARIOUS COLORS N STUFF. THEN IF YOUR ANYTHING LIKE ME YOU HAVE ALREADY SAVED PRETTY BOTTLES OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES (ESPECIALLY THOSE FIFTH'S OF HENNESSEY OR BACARDI N STUFF). OR YOUR FAVORITE WINE BOTTLES N STUFF.

THEN EASY AS PIE, JUST USE YOUR BOTTLES AS CANDLE HOLDERS, LIGHT 'EM UP, AND WATCH 'EM MELT N STUFF. BE SURE TO CHANGE TO DIFFERENT COLOR CANDLES AS THEY MELT SO THAT YOU GET THAT PSYCHEDELIC EFFECT N STUFF. VERY PRETTY AND YOU CREATED YOURSELF N STUFF.

THE FUTURE'S IN CHAINS N STUFF N STUFF

THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY POEMS I'VE EVER WRITTEN, SO I THOUGHT I'D SHARE N STUFF:

THE FUTURE'S IN CHAINS

Written By:  Angela Gagon

Hey you, got dreams for the future?

     Well wake up man, there jokes!

     'Cause all those fairy tale endings-

     Were some fucked up writers hoax.

I'll never understand this trip;

     I heard it was unfair.

     The one's who seem to make it-

     are the one's who just don't care!

I thought things would get better;

     once upon a time.

     I even thought I had a chance,

     that a good life could be mine!

So with those thoughts (some time ago);

     on work and life I'd thrive;

     years of constant struggle-

     barely keeping me alive.

I really tried to make it;

     Now I just can't seem to deal-

     Cause I've been striving all along,

     to find this world's not real!

Don't think I can take much more,

     of these eternal hurts & pains!

     But what's it matter anyway..................

     THE FUTURE'S STILL IN CHAINS!
