  • Look, I'm going to put this out there right now: If I'm the kind of "friend" that you're going to talk about in a negative light behind my back, do me a favor and just remove me from your "friends" list right now. Then delete me from whatever contact list you have elsewhere. Seriously. Rip off the band-aid. Neither one of us has any use for the other.

  • My bipolar, manic-depressive, schizophrenic brother just bought thousands of dollars in (likely worthless) land from people he "became very close to" over the past FOUR DAYS and is planning to buy three houses so that he can give shelter to the people who are coming to join his new "church". I'm sorry people. I'm TRYING to present myself as a happy, hard working, pleasant (if not humorous) person that you know through family, work, college or high school but there's only so much my psyche can take. Nobody gets worse news than this kind of shit. What's more, I have two more brothers and a sister ... none of whom have much of a relationship with one another. All of whom have a relationship with me. I love all of ya but fuck ... sometimes this family is a total fucking nightmare.

  • I just posted this on my cover band's "hidden group" page. If you know of a trumpet player local to Chicago who might be willing to help, contact me ... "We're still on for the photo shoot (Feb 17) but we still need a trumpet player to sit in. Their only reward will be 2nd call for whatever gigs we get. I've got feelers out but no responses. Am I going about this wrong? Do tell and, if you can, see if you can find somebody willing to do this. Maybe we can all buy 'em lunch or something? Oy. Gotta get this done :)"
