Observations: WTF?

I recently heard that My Name Is Earl got cancelled - massive bummer! Will someone please lend NBC a tow truck so that they can pull their heads out?

G-Man: on guitar

Christmas '07, our daughter Maggie got a guitar and amp.  A few months later, I picked up an issue of Guitar World magazine because it had Dimebag Darrell on the cover. Watching our daughter learn and seeing Darrell play made me want to learn guitar also. I got my guitar Christmas '08, then Maggie and I started taking lessons up at Ye Olde Guitar Shoppe together in February. I am currently learning "Black Magic Woman" by Carlos Santana and Maggie's learning "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. We're both learning "One" by Metallica so we can play rhythm and lead together. Now, my wife has a bass guitar (see her blog at: http://www.pseudablebliss.blogspot.com/  for pictures and description) which makes it all the more exciting. But, since I've only been playing a few months, there won't be any "you tube" videos for a long time (insert groans here). I know...I know...I realize there's a serious shortage of videos showing guys sitting somewhere in their houses playing guitar, but I'm sorry, you're just going to have to wait.

Official 1st post

Well, here goes. I told my wife that I might like to try out this blogging thing, so being the totally awesome person that she is, she set up my spot for me. Now that it's done, I feel compelled to get a little something on here, so I'll rant a few minutes about the whole gay marriage yay or nay controversy. 

Today, California voted to uphold the ban on gay marriage,which really irritates me. Come on CA, get your shit together. If Iowa can handle it, what's your malfunction? I have a sneaking suspicion that the right-wing religious fanatics have something to do with this (no big secret here, huh?). 

These people are pissing me off more and more each day. Somehow, while reading from the big book of jokes they call their "bible," they have interpreted that "god" hates fags. I, myself was wondering if maybe it was the talking snake that told them this, or maybe the dude that spent three days inside a whale's belly hallucinated this idea? (some material here may or may not have been referenced from or thought of while watching Religulous - if you haven't seen it, do. Highly recommend it.)

What happened to separation of church and state? If you want religion, then by all means, go do it. But, in the words of Phil Anselmo: Be yourself by yourself, stay the fuck away from me.

So, I end this little rant. Hopefully you weren't too bored by it. Just chill out, relax, get a month or two older, and I'll try to come up with some other shit to talk about.
