I am old

Look for the future of Sonny's Rock n Roll life tomorrow. I will be 40 in 2 minutes. xoxo
The old man

'tis upon us

Well it is Christmas eve, eve and all is a mess. I am 98% finished with the new flooring in the dining room. I would've finished it weeks ago but I am leaning as I go and We are BROKE. yep, I said it, like a joke, like we invested in new coke, WE IS BROKE. Tomorrow I will get up and go to the gym and finish my shopping for my beloved. I have not had a chance to get her one thing yet. I have no idea what to get her. The results from my first few years of marriage were, to say the least, learning experiences. No clothes-you get them too big she thinks you think she's fat. You get them too small-she thinks she's too fat. Running shoes-too fat. Leather mini-skirt-well...I'll let your imagination run wild.I've told her I do not do gift certificates because I truly want to get something personable. Last year we got each other Gold's gym memberships. That has worked out well because now I can tell her I am going to Gold's gym to workout and shop at the new, super busy mega expensive mall for her gift. Which brings me back to what to get her. Jewelry-well I would have to sell both kidneys to get her some thing she would actually wear. Remember BROKE. I cannot buy her jewelry and have a Brita filtering system attached to my renal glands at the same time. I know-I checked the insurance. She is a stay at home mom-not a housewife and not a homemaker so her/my kids are her hobby/life, She will tell you this in a heartbeat-of a hummingbird. I also have the pressure of finding something that looks good enough that I actually had it planned and not spending too much money on it. She is definitely holding the purse strings. By that I mean I am terrible with money. My Dad-God bless him, was of the mind that if we did not have enough for the light bill-due the next day, he would rather eat a steak tonight. I am trying to break myself of that habit and a couple of others and create new habits. Yes that's right, stay tuned for the 1st ever new years resolutions post. That leads me to the ultimate gift-let my wife pick a new years resolution. I know what it would be and let me apologize in advance to the cities of Milwaukee, St.Louis and the entire Napa Valley & parts of Sweden. I think I might just go with a new leather miniskirt. That pain would only last about six months.

When the going gets wierd...

It has been a weird, weird week. I heard a voice from the past-EJ and he is sending me some long lost music. I will be sending him some as well. I think I came out better on the deal. He is in the deeeeeep south and I am still here in the midwest. He wants to trade me and I would gladly take his trade, but friends, family and housenotes are keeping me down. Stupid adulthood! This one will be short but I am working on my 100 things list and a couple of more posts. I gotta do the 100 things so I can officially be a blog, blogger, bloggite?(I refuse to use blogeratti) My "band" is also working on finishing our new CD. Our box set and outtakes is ready but we have to dub some copies and make the inserts. The box set will be completely D.I.Y. Well have a good week and I look forward to boring you more with my 100 things list soon.

Still so much to do

I am still trying to get this thing set up for optimum reading pleasure. I need to install a site tracker and post some pictures and think of some witty anecdotes. Right now I am tired, but not sleepy.
This morning I woke up to the first snow of the season and the girls got to stay home for 3 inches of the white stuff. Usually they would go to school but I don't think the city was as prepared as it should have been. I, on the other hand, arrived at work early to sit around and wait on customers to come in. I sell cars. Well, I try to sell cars and I am pretty good at it when I have customers that are interested in the specific cars I sell. The reason I am good at it is 1. Because I am not a car salesman-I've only been doing it since April of '07 and 2. I do not like car salesmen and I refuse to act like a total scam artist, sleaze or huckster. That being said, I spent a good part of a blustery, snowy afternoon scraping 3 to 6 inches of the white death off of the 60 or so SUV's, minivans and cars. I grew up in the mid-south and if it snowed this much there in a year people would talk about it for decades to come. I still cannot get used to it after 12 years. I still refuse to buy a snow blower because soon & I mean soon I will hit that stinkin mega millions jackpot and then I can use that money for sunblock and botox. Until then I will get up, scrape the snow off of my truck, try to get one of the girls to shovel the driveway, go to work & scrape the snow off of someone else's cars. Oh and try to post some pictures and post some witty anecdotes.

Numero uno

Well,well,well,This is the first post and actually a test. I have always been a reader, not a writer. So, tonight (today) I will forego the witty quips and try to reach into my innerself and find something worth posting in the very near future. My sense of security for me and my family are numero uno. The need to just put it out there will hopefully quell my sense of isolation from my home town-a mere 525 miles away. I will be writing on my music loves, family, observations and culinary adventures. I will steal alot of stuff from my favorite bloggites & make some random thoughts out of nothing. I will also be posting on backstories of my recent youth and making fun of my family and myself. I hope you enjoy and I hope you studied for the test.tastelessly yours,SF
