This weekend was a bit different. I watched the Smallville season finale on Friday. It was much better than the season itself. Friday night at 1am my brother came and took me to his place cause I was helping him run sound the next day. I woke up around 7am on Saturday and went with him to a park opening ceremony first. He set it up and was able to get the sound running right. I helped moved the speakers in and out of the trailer. Then me and another guy took the rest of the equipment to a festival called Yuppiefest. My band was supposed to play there. I helped unload all of the speakers. Then while we were doing sound, Grant stood out in the seats and told me which mics to pull up or down to get the sound just right. The equipment sounded really good. There was this one band we had played for in the past up on stage and the bass player was wearing a Corporate Red T-Shirt. It made me miss my band. Anyway, it was also 100 degrees out there, and probably hotter on the concrete amphitheater. I think I sweated a couple of pounds off. Everyone had water, but some drummers got sick. One guy's jaw wouldn't open until he got in the shade. Talk about weird. Then late Saturday night my bass player stops by, takes me home and he had a drummer and Tito come over and we jammed. On Sunday I just went to Church and Sunday school and didn't do the homeless this week, but I did give the guys what was left of the Corporate Red t-shirts to give to them. It's probably going to be weird next time I go to see homeless people all wearing Corporate Red shirts. I suppose it's fitting. After Sunday School I went home and had to get some work done that I am behind on. I watched movies while I was doing it. I saw the movie "Easy Rider" for the first time. I think I am becoming an expert on hippie culture. Apparently in the late 60s the hippies all thought that there were people from Venus walking the earth. They smoke pot and talk about the Venutians. It reminded me of Jimi Hendrix's movie "Rainbow Bridge". There also were a lot of communes. City kids who found a plot of land and tried to get things to grow so they didn't have to work. It was funny cause they didn't realize they were working. That was when hippy culture was in style. Nowadays people realize the things about it that made them leave, no one bathed and they lose motivation once they smokeout. The anti-hippy culture was weird too. The biggest thing that people hated about it was their hair. "Get a haircut" could be heard throughout the country. I blame the Beatles Moptops for all of societies ills. That's what the world needs, a haircut.

Thought of the Day
"Now here's the lowdown. Through a certain connection, I've been able to locate some black market shower heads. They're all made in the former Yugoslavia. And from what I hear, the Serbs are fanatic about their showers."
"Not from the footage I've seen."
