Always and Usher, Never an Ushee
And now for the weekend update. On Friday I took it easy and watched TV. I ended up watching the classic "A Fiddler on the Roof" in HDTV. I think I have almost seen all of the activist movies of the 60s and 70s. I've seen the Beatles Movies, Jimi Hendrix movies and Easy Rider. Apparently all that is left is to read "On the Road" and get me a motorcycle. I often wonder if the culture of the 60s is coming back. I noticed at the mall the other day how classic rock t-shirts seem to be in style now. The popular shirts seem to be Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd t-shirts. I was thinking about why that is and then I realized that there was rock in the 60s,70s,80s and 90s but none in the 00s. I think Rock is officially dead. Now all we see are classic rock reminiscences. The only thing pop-culture has is rap, techno, pop singers, and acoustic rock bands. Its sad. On Saturday I went and gave blood. It was cool cause they called me in the morning and setup an appointment for the afternoon. When I got to the red cross there was a huge line of people waiting to give. When I told them I had an appointment I was shuffled to the front of the line as a VIP. That was cool. Then I went to get my Tux for the wedding on Monday. Then I decided to try and volunteer to help out the flood victims so I went to the Salvation Army in downtown Dallas. They said they didn't need my help just yet and asked me to sign up to volunteer and they would call me. So I guess you can say I joined the army. Saturday night Mr.T came over and we made some sandwiches for the handout on Sunday. I did the usual on Sunday. I thought there would be more Hurricane victims at the shelter, but there wasn't any new faces. I think they were all at the stadiums. Monday was the wedding for Corporate Red's drummer. I was an usher. I am getting good at ushing. This was my 4th wedding to be an usher. It was a very standard wedding. Although no alcohol. I think that's the big thing nowadays. I remember going one Texas wedding were Coors light was the main beverage. Then there was my sister's with a Champagne fountain. Unfortunately at this one there wasn't any good looking single girls. I almost caught the garter but was intercepted by a kid. A funny moment happened when the groom was listening to vows. He was smacking on gum we had given him in the waiting room. Wayne was pointing towards his mouth and I almost started laughing. I think he ended up swallowing it.
Thought of the Day
Kramer - "You've got three pints of Kramer in you, buddy!"
Jerry - "I can feel his blood inside of me. Borrowing things from my blood."
- Jerry, in "The Blood"

We didn't do too much this weekend. On Saturday we went to Best Buy and dropped $40 for sime black ink, took the kido to Chuck E Cheese, and watched a few movies. Sunday and Monday didn't amount to much. We mainly did stuff around the house and played with the kido.
