...With Two Eyes Made Out Of Coats

What To Do In A Power Outage...

We got this huge snow storm that knocked out our electricity. Here's how I spent the last couple days...

Ramblings - December 2009 Edition

Hey, how's it going? Merry Christmas to you, whoever you may be.

I keep trying to divide myself to be in four or five places at the same time. It's not working out so good. I'll figure it out one day... If only "Multiplicity" was possible...

My mom is still in the hospital. I try to see her every day, but sometimes I don't have time. It's taking a lot of gas money to go over there, too. I have to fill up my tank every two days that I go over there, which is coming out to be about a hundred dollars a week! I really need to be saving my money for Christmas shopping (which I've yet to start on), but my mom is so lonely over there all by herself all the time... She is doing pretty good, though. She gave us a scare, that's for sure. She has cancer in two little spots on her liver, and the rest of it is in her bones (on her skull, in her left shoulder, and in both legs). It's esepecially bad in her right leg. She had to have a metal rod put into her right leg, because the doctor was afraid she'd be out walking one day, and her leg would just break under her. The cancer has pretty much devoured her right femur... She's having rehabilatation. She can walk about 50 feet. She looks a lot better now. She's still not eating very good. She still has a long way to go. She still needs a lot of prayer. But, she's at about 65% now... She's going to have hormone shots once a month for about 6 months. Then, her doctor is going to give her radiation treatments on her right leg as soon as it heals up and she can walk. She should be getting out of the hospital before Christmas. I hope! She's already missed my birthday, Thanksgiving, Ten's birthday, and now Debra's birthday (which will be Wednesday).

I keep running in to this weird guy that I went to school with every time I get out. He talks for about 45 minutes every time I see him. We were never even friends. I wrote about him in this blog one time. The same kids that tortured me tortured him. We *SHOULD HAVE* been friends, so we could've fought off those kids, but we didn't. He's crazy now! Those kids really messed him up...

I finally managed to finish up the new 3 Santas CD. It's the first new Cruel Music original recording since the fire. Quite the milestone, there! I don't want to waste any more time, so I immediately jumped into the new WDN CD. That one should be done in the next week or so.

We bought a Nintendo Wii last week. Awesome!

We're still homeless, but we're getting closer to having a house.

Another Survey... Enjoy!

Is there anything in your room that reminds you of the past memories?
Well, yeah. I've been in this bedroom for 13 years, basically.

Can you recall the last time you loved someone?
What kind of stupid question is that?! Is this survey for people who have Alzheimer’s, or something?! Well... I seem to remember that I loved someone back before the Korean War...

So, whats going on with you and the last person you kissed?
Well, we've been together for 3 and a half years, rather happily, and I knocked her up back in May.

Have you ever kissed anyone whose name started with a, k, t, c, j, s, r, m, n?
Shut up!

Do you believe exes can be friends?
Not really. It's too awkward.

Do you eat breakfast daily?
Why wouldn't I?!

When you and your friends are out and about do you usually get dirty looks?
Always.

The last person you kissed hates you. Why?
I didn't hear about this. Are you sure you're not just hearing some rumor, or something?

Is there anyone you couldn't live without?
My soul mate, my baby girl, my sweet angel, and my Denise.

Who were you with the last time you went to the movie theater?
Baby Girl. "2012." Awesome!

What do you usually do when the clock turns 11:11?
Scream to the top of my lungs, and then say a little prayer that I'll live to see it turn to 11:12.

Do you think someone misses you?
Like, right this minute? I mean, yeah, while I'm at work, but I don't know about right now, because I'm here.

Do you love where you live?
What do you think? I've been here for 32 years!

What were you doing 12 AM last night?
I think that's just a little personal. You should be ashamed of yourself for asking something like that!

Who was the last person you had a phone conversation for more than 20 minutes?
"10," of course. She's the only person who can talk on a phone for 18 hours a day, and never get tired of it.

Would you go out in public looking like you do now?
I do it every day.

Do you think you will be in a relationship 3 months from now?
Yeah, but it'll be a threesome. Heh.

Do you know anyone with the same birthday as you?
I have it on good authority to know that there is not a single person living in the world today, other than me, who was born on November 25th.

How do you feel right now?
My back hurts.

Does any part of your body hurt right now?
I feel fine.

Are you a mean person?
When people are mean to me.

Have you ever had a really big fight with a best friend?
No. You?

Is there someone you'd like to fix things with?
No. You?

Are you social?
Yeah, it's weird, I'm a totally different person than I was, like, 6 years ago.

What was the first thing you did when you woke up?
Kissed Baby Girl.

Is life good?
Good, good, good!

If someone liked you right now, would you want them to tell you?
It wouldn't matter, because I'm with my soul mate.

Ever kissed a brown eyed person?
Every day since May 6th, 2006.

Is there someone you wish you were still close with?
I'm as close as can be expected, I guess, under the circumstances.

Do you like the snow?
As long as I don't have to drive in it.

Is your bed comfortable?
No, it's not.

Does it bother you when someone lies to you?
Does it bother you when someone flicks water in your eyes?!

Have you ever been in trouble for something you honestly didn't do?
We were constantly getting blamed for things we didn't do when we were little. The things we actually did no one ever found out about, but everything else they were like, "It was Junebug, Roger, and Nathan!" Heh.

Is there something that has happened when you were younger that you really hate talking about?
I fell in a well one time, and this dog, "Ginger," had to rescue me. Every time I start to talk about it I get really emotional.

Let's test your memory, what color shirt were you wearing during your last kiss?
That would be the red one that I'm wearing right now... Seriously, is this a survey for people who have Alzheimer’s Disease?!

Have you ever kissed two people in one night?
...Or maybe this is, like, a teenager survey, or something... Like, "Do you remember the last person you held hands with?" "Is it true that Billy has koodies?"

Has anyone ever cheated on you?
No.

How long does it take you to fall asleep at night?
Usually around 30-45 seconds. No joke.

Let's be honest have you ever played someone?
Checkers, Tic Tac Toe, I've played a few games with people, actually.

Are you a naturally happy person or is it forced?
I'm happy for 16 hours every day. Then, I'm at work for the other 8.

Describe the shirt you're wearing:
It's red, and it's a sweat shirt, and it's got my store's logo on the upper left corner.

Is there anyone who could make your day if they showed up to see you?
Probably. I get excited every time I see anyone at work, so I can get my mind off working for a minute or two.

What do you think of fourteen year old's having sex?
I think that's, like, about 6 years too late by today's standards.

Do you think you'll be married by the time your 25?
I wasn't, and neither should you.

Do you open up to a lot of people?
Not unless I'm forced to.

Would you rather have long or short hair?
Hair. Period. Just hair.

Are you tired right now?
I'm always tired.

You kissed someone today?
Like, 700 times.

Do you think relationships are ever really worth it?
Worth what?

Is there that one guy/girl that you'll always have feelings for no matter what?
For all eternity.

Last night, did you go to sleep smiling?
I'll have to rewind the security tapes, and see. Hold on a minute...

Do you have a bad temper?
Not unless someone makes it that way.

Mad Libs - Chapter One

Hey, do you remember these things from school? Mad Libs? I loved them! I loved them so much I felt compelled to do one online (at http://www.madglibs.com/ actually), and copy it right about here:

"Romeo and Juliet: Prologue "
Two boats, both alike in dignity,In fair Huntington Beach, SC, where we lay our scene,From ancient bird break to new mutiny,Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.From forth the fatal loins of these two foes. A pair of star-cross`d flowers take their life; Whole misadventured piteous overthrows. Do with their leaf bury their parents` strife. The fearful passage of their beautiful love, And the continuance of their parents`rage,Which, but their children`s end, nought could ask,Is now the eight hours` traffic of our stage;The which if you with hideous toenail attend, What here shall run, our toil shall strive to mend.

"Be Kind"
Be kind to your turtle-footed rocks. For a duck may be somebody`s isosceles trapezoid. Be kind to your rocks in Fargo, MN. Where the weather is always sweet. You may think that this is the chewing gum,Well it is.

Ramblings - November 2009 Edition

My mom finally got to see her new cancer doctor. Turns out that she's had cancer in her liver since January, and her idiot doctor didn't say anything about it. So, it's just been "sitting there" untreated for the better part of a year. It's had time to spread throughout her body. Hopefully, it hasn't done so, but she looks really bad this time. She's been getting really sick, and losing a lot of weight. I've never seen her this bad off in the 19 years that she's been fighting cancer.

Her new doctor has been running some tests on her to see if it's spread anywhere else, but we won't know anything until the 23rd. Keep her in your prayers. She really needs it this time.

After seven months of no new Cruel Music material I started getting a little itchy. So, since I still don't have a studio I turned my car into a studio. I started recording an **ALL NEW** 3 Santas CD on November 6th. The plan was to do a song a day until I get to 15 songs, but I've already been slipping. I only have four songs right now. Hopefully the CD will be completed around December 1st. Hey, I get two 15-minute breaks at work, so I only have about 30 minutes of studio time a day right now!

I'm going back into turkey mode at work. So far it hasn't been too bad this year, but I've still got a couple more weeks to go. I hope they take it easy on me this year!

Denise is 6 months pregnant now, and looks like she's going to pop at any second. That's going to be a big boy, come February 13th! Heh heh. His first name is going to be Brandon, but everyone keeps whining about his middle name, so we're trying to come to some sort of compromise on that...

I'm sure there was something else I was going to write about, but I can't remember now. I'm sleepy...

Attack Of The Zombies!

Do you have these in your town?

I'm not talking about the buildings, or the trees, or the plants...

I mean the ZOMBIES!

These guys hang out around the doctors' offices every day, waiting to get their prescriptions, so they can walk down the street to the pharmacy... Or, as the zombies call it - HEAVEN. Once they get their pills filled they are perpetually high / stoned for the next 30 days, until the cycle repeats itself again next month.

Luckily, I was in my car, and could escape this zombie before he tried to attack me.

My Brush With Greatness

I took Baby Girl to the Charleston Mall today for the first time. While we were there we had an unbelievable moment. I looked at a guy coming down the escalator, who seemed to be posing like a GQ model, or something. Then, I realized that the guy was none other than WSAZ meteorologist Tony Cavalier! We slowed down a bit so we could stare at him, and he went into a shoe store. It would have been extremely humorous if we would have brought the camera with us, but we didn't... But, for those of you who are not from the "Mountain State," here's the man I'm talking about:

It's The End Of The World As We Know It...

Well, they finally took, and went, and did it. Geocities closed yesterday. The Cruel Music page is history now. Good riddance, I say! I mean, it was fun for the first 4 or 5 years, but it lost its sparkle after a while, and became more of a chore than a hobby. Ever since I signed up for Blogger, in 2004, the Cruel Music page has slowly been intertwining with Blogger anyway. If you ask me, I think Blogger is 10 times better than Geocities was. It'll be good to focus all of my attention on Blogger now, and not have to worry about updating something on Geocities anymore. So, over the next few weeks and months you'll be noticing a lot of neat little changes to the blog, as I start bringing some of the old Geocities Cruel Music content over here. Heck, you probably already noticed the nifty new look to the blog's home page!

...And I feel fine.

Freaky...

Check it out! I was home for lunch yesterday, and there was a clear blue sky!

I'm serious, Dude. This is, like, the first time this has happened in about a year! There's ALWAYS clouds. Oh well...

Stone Temple Pilots!

Hello from Dayton! I went to Columbus last night to see what may be my favorite concert to date. I had to put my trust in our new GPS thingy, because Columbus kinda freaks me out. It was at the Lifestyle Community Pavilion. My first outdoor concert! Nice place. Good times. My only complaint would have to be the delay in the beginning. It was supposed to start at 6:30, but it didn't start until 8. I guess they were waiting for the show to sell out, or something...

The Meat Puppets started the night with "Oh, Me." Then, they played a couple new songs that I didn't recognize. Sorry, I've been out of touch with The Meat Puppets for the last 10 years, or so. Then, was "New Gods" and "Plateau," and a couple other new songs. "Up On The Sun" and "Go To Your Head" were played at some point... Finally, another song that I recognized: "Backwater." And, of course, "Lake Of Fire." They put on a good show. It sucks that the audience wasn't into them that much. They kept saying stuff like, "We want STP!"

After another long wait, Stone Temple Pilots finally came out at almost 9:30. Not a moment too soon. The audience was getting pretty restless, and drunk, by that time. Drunk people are weird... There was a fight right across from me, and people were passing out and stuff... Anyway, "Silver Gun Superman" got everyone's attention. Good way to open the show. "Wicked Garden" was next. During "Vasoline" some guy threw a t-shirt on stage, and Scott Weiland caught it. "Thanks for the shirt, Buddy!" Heh heh. "Big Empty" was next. After that there was a little conversation moment (the only one of the night, actually). Dean DeLeo asked his brother, "So, what do you think, Robert? Do we like Columbus, Ohio?" Robert said, "Hell yeah!" Then, my favorite song, "Lounge Fly." I couldn't believe they were playing that one! "Army Ants," "Sour Girl," "Creep," "Crackerman," "Plush," "Interstate Love Song," "Down," "Sex Type Thing," and "Unglued." They took a surprisingly short encore break after that (considering the earlier delays). Then, they came back out to play two more songs, "Dead And Bloated (which featured an intro from some guy in the audience. Pretty cool...)." SW: "Would you like to hear one more?" "Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart." It was a fairly short concert. It was over by 11:00, but, like I said, I think it was my favorite concert. It also dawned on me while I was there that it would be my last concert before becoming a dad... It's a boy, by the way.

It's been a while...

I don't have a lot to write about these days... I'm still alive, though. I'm still recording Cruel Music nonsense. Mostly re-doing some stuff that got burned up, and converting cassette tapes to CD, but I am recording at least. I have some new things in mind. I even started on an all-new WDN CD. Hopefully, I'll have Cruel Music up and running again soon. The website will be gone in a few weeks, but at least I still have the blog.

I'm drinking a nasty cappuccino from McDonald's. I used to like cappuccinos before I got one from there...

It's vacation time again. We're going to Dayton to see Baby Girl's mom Saturday. It'll be good to finally get to take a real vacation. I got cheated out of my last vacation when the house burned down. I joined the high-tech revolution, and bought a GPS-thingy, so we're ready to go. I'll be seeing Stone Temple Pilots Sunday. They've been one of my favorite bands since 1992, so that'll be great. Expect a concert review around Monday. We're going to run out to the Cincinnati Zoo and/or Columbus Zoo while we're there. Probably go back to the farm and the Air Force Museum, and stuff. It's going to be a fun week.

My mom has cancer once again. It's in her liver this time. We're looking into finding her a new cancer doctor, because this one should have saw the cancer in her liver sooner. The nurses that do her x-rays and whatnot said they saw something oging on in her liver back in May, but her doctor said it wasn't anything to worry about. They saw it again in July, and again, the doctor said it wasn't cancer. So now, finally, 5 months later, the doctor says that, yes, it is cancer... What an idiot!

Debra is expecting her second baby in June. That'll be neat for her baby to grow up with our baby. We're hoping to find out the sex of our baby tomorrow.

I'm on a computer at the hospital right now. I really hope it lets me post this! It won't let me post anything on Myspace. Hotmail works, so maybe this will, too. I'd be a little upset if I lose all of this...

Still no news from the lawsuit, or the house-hunting activities...

Denise is good. Scruffy is good. Mom and Dad are a little worse for wear, but life is good.

How's Your Weather?

There's something fishy going on with the weather. When is the last time you looked up and saw a blue sky? I'm not talking about a sky that features spots of blue, I mean a CLEAR blue sky, with no clouds. It's been a while, hasn't it? I'd have to say that I haven't saw a clear blue sky in about a year. What does this mean? I don't know. Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it's just the beginning... The calm before the storm. Temperatures are a lot cooler, too. It's August! It should be 115 degrees outside here right now, but we've just barely passed 90 degrees a couple times this summer. I guess that part isn't so bad, but it isn't normal. The nights have been getting down to around 50 degrees here every night. It's usually 70 degrees at night in summer nights. And rain? I've seen more rain than any time in my life. What's the deal?! I say we all get together, and write our local meteorologist and demand answers. There's something going on that they're not telling us. Is it 2012 already?!

Hi

August 1st was something of a bittersweet day for us. Our friend, Mickey, had to go today. He was extremely playful, and mean. We had a hard time living with him. We could've possibly toughed it out, but the doctor said we can't have a litter box around a pregnant lady, so he had to go. Hopefully, he'll find a good home soon.


















But then, we went to the flea market, and bought some neat toys... Including a *SWEET* 2003 Epiphone Firebird bass guitar!

















Oh, and here's a new picture that we took on July 29th.

Jonathan Helps Me With The Grass

Baby Pictures - Part One

These are from our first ultrasound. Denise is 11 weeks along now, so the baby is a little bigger than a strawberry.

Stimulate This!

Hey, I went to a concert last night. The opening band was called Lo-Pro. I missed them completely. The show was supposed to start at 7:00. I got there at, like, 7:15, and they were long gone by then.

Second was Halestorm. I missed the majority of their show, too. I could hear them as I wandered around in the lobby / consession area. I heard their last three songs. Two of them were while I was walking around, and I was on my way to my seat when they played their last song. I didn't even see what they looked like. They sounded good, though.

Next, was Chevelle. I've heard them, and thought they sounded good and all, but seeing them live was great! They're a really good (THREE-PIECE!!!) band. They're like a heavier version of Deftones. The UFO behind them was a nice touch, but never really explained... But, they rocked!

And then, SHINEDOWN! This was my second time seeing them. The first time I saw them was in 2005 with Brother Roger. It was neat to see how much they've grown as a band in the last four years. They put on a really good live show. A lot of audience interaction. They had everyone jumping around the whole time. Good stuff!

Last but not least, Staind. It was my first time seeing them. I never realized how much they rock until I saw them live. I'd mostly just heard their mellow stuff... The coolest part was at the end, though, when Aaron Lewis went out into the audience, and sat on a tour crate, and sung with his acoustic guitar: "On The Outside Looking In," and "It's Been A While." Both songs made the hair stand on the back of my neck, and brought a tear to my eyes. Awesome! Good times!

Who was the last person you were on the phone with?
Cory. Heh heh.

What's the weather like outside?
Who knows? It's probably raining, like always.

The store where I work. I bought some purple thread.

Is there anyone you couldn't go a day wothout talking oto?
Umm... Repeat the question, please?

I hear there's this chick from Ohio that totally digs me.

When was the last time you talked to one of your friends?
I don't know. Why are you bothering me? I want to go to bed!

Seems familiar. I don't think I liked it. War movies are no fun. Just "Full Metal Jacket."

Who was the last person you rode in a car with?
My leprechaun.

Are you on a Laptop or Computer right now?
Neither. They would never support my weight.

How are you right this second?
My left hand is asleep, and my knee is throbbing, and my back is still kinda numb.

Is there anything you disliked about your last birthday?
Still kinda p.o.ed about that robot that stopped by uninvited, and ate all of my ice cream.

Is your room clean and tidy or messy?
Incredibly messy.

Do you keep a diary or journal (offline or online)?
Used to do both, but I gave up the paper when I realized how many trees I was killing.

What were you like a year ago?
Skinnier, and not quite as bitter as I am now.

Do you like your hair?
Sure, why not?

Are you wearing socks?
I usually don't.

What's the last thing you ate?
M&Ms.

Has someone disappointed you recently?
Most people do, so I'm not going to single anyone out, or anything like that, if that's what you're getting at.

Do you have plans for this weekend
Why bother?

Do/did you do good in school?
Why bother? School doesn't mean anything. It's just another way "the man" tries to control us.

Sure, if there was anywhere to move to!

Who are you most like in your family?

Backup Plan

So, over the next few weeks, or so, you're going to see a lot of posts on the blog that are not going to make a lot of sense. The next post will be one such post. Geocities will be closing on October 26th, so I lot of the content from the Cruel Music site will be making its way over here to the blog. Don't be alarmed.

The Cruel Music Catalog!

Here it is: The complete catalog of CRUEL MUSIC! A good deal of these tapes, CDs, and videos were destroyed in our 4-2-09 house fire. This is more of a document of what Cruel Music once was. Red text denotes things that were lost in the fire. If you, or anyone you know, would happen to have copies of any of these lost (red texted) items please contact the Cruel Music home office (that would be sandman1975@hotmail.com) immediately. There may be a reward involved!
　
---------------1988---------------
1.WDN "School Bus Garage" In 1988, we (Roger - my best friend, Terry - my uncle & the founder of WDN, Debra - my sister, and Junebug - me) began prank calling people to relieve our boredom. Me, Roger, and Terry (He was only seven years older than me, so he blended in pretty good with us.) would sit back and "make" my sister make up numbers, and call them. She had to ask them stupid questions, such as "Is your refrigerator running?" This provided hours of entertainment for us, because we knew WE could never get into any trouble for it. Debra was the one calling them, so SHE would have to pay the consequences. My mom caught on to our scheme, after continuously seeing us take the cordless phone in my room, and filling the house with laughter soon afterward. She bought a telephone recorder so she'd be able to find out what was really going on. She must have recorded several tapes full of our fun, and always recorded over them so we could never foil her plan. She recorded over all of them, EXCEPT FOR ONE. Sure, we would occasionally speak up, and not make Debra do all of the work, but unfortunately these occasions were not captured on this tape. We found this tape a few years later, and adopted as a WDN tape. It became the very first WDN tape, even though we didn't have a clue it was being recorded. Weird huh? Our prank-calling activities would later (around 1992) be dubbed as "On The Phone."
　
---------------1989---------------
2.WDN "Barbie and The Rockers." 1989. This tape is our "famous" info-mercial for Debra's "Barbie and The Rockers" tape. It features the very first "character" created for WDN purposes, Evander (played by myself). Evander quickly got stomped into the ground (as partially evidenced in our next tape), and became very stale very fast. We recorded a few tapes featuring Evander, but recorded over almost all of them, because they were just so horrible.
3.WDN "Evander." 1989, 1990. As previously noted, Evander was worn out. He was our only character, so we kept on trying to repeat his performances. Things got really ugly. This tape was recorded soon after the "Barbie.." tape. In 1990, we recorded over most of it, and put Evander out of his misery. (NOTE: In 1990 and 1991 we were very cheap. We only had two or three "blank" tapes, so we'd record stuff, keep it for a couple weeks, and then record over it. The thought never really occurred to us that we could actually KEEP our tapes, and buy new ones. We must have thought our "first" tape was really special to not record over it.)
　
--------------1991---------------
4. SOW. February 1, 1991. This is the first in a series of 16 (very embarrassing) wrestling tapes. These little ditties were recorded from 1991 until 1992 when we (me, Roger, and every guy in the neighborhood) thought we were professional wrestlers. We didn't have a camera to record the "action," so we resorted to our trusty cassette recorder.
5.SOW 2. February, 1991.
6.SOW 3. February 21, 1991.
7.SOW 4. February 28, 1991 (Yes, we REALLY DID run everything into the ground once it got started... Four tapes in one month... Amazing... Or maybe just pathetic)
8.SOW 5. March 27, 1991.
9.SOW 6. April 12, 1991.
10.SOW 7. June 2, 1991.
11.SOW 8. August 20, 1991.
12.SOW 9. August 28, 1991.
13.SOW 10. October 5, 1991.
14.WDN "Memphis, TN." October 1991. Ahhh... Finally a little sanity. Well, it may not be sane, but it's a break from SOW and the Evander stuff, at least. We introduced new characters in this tape, which must be how it survived the great "recording-over-old-tapes-and-saving-money" period.
15.SOW 11. October 25, 1991.
16.WDN "Flatwoods, KY." November 1991. Same story as CM14. Not a great tape, but we were still growing. One of us must have liked this tape good enough to not only keep it, but to make a sequel for it as well (see CM18)!
17.SOW 12. November 9, 1991.
18.WDN "Flatwoods 2." November 1991. Hey, lookie here! It's the sequel I just mentioned on CM16!
19.WDN 7. December 28, 1991.
20.SOW 13. December 31, 1991.
　
---------------1992---------------
21.WDN 8. Nice way to ring in 1992, if you ever get the opportunity: It's another WDN tape! January 14, 1992.
22.WDN "Bug's Holler." January 27, 1992. Not a tape that I'm proud of... Hmmm, am I proud of ANY of these tapes?! This tape is a rip-off of "Saturday Night Live's 'Wayne's World.'" "Holler" = West Virginian slang for "Hollow" or "A Small Road Going Through A Valley." Bug didn't have a world in order to completely rip off "Wayne's World," but by golly, he had me a holler! NOTE: "Bug's Holler," like "Evander," was one of those sketches that we just couldn't get enough of. It was a dominant force throughout 1992.
23.SOW 14. March 9, 1992. Notice how those SOW tapes are slowly deteriorating? Heh heh, it's almost over now!
24.WDN 10. March 17, 1992.
25.WDN 11. April 17, 1992.

34.WDN 19. July 8, 1992.
35.WDN 20. August 4, 1992.
36.WDN "Reporters On The Beach." August 28, 1992. This is a useless tape which we "promoted" for a few months prior to its recording. We loved WDN so much, we decided to take it to Myrtle Beach, SC with us for a vacation taping. We recorded pieces of the 14-hour trip every time we'd enter a new town. Brilliant! We even recorded the ever-present "Bug's Holler (along with some other sketches we had created by this time)" right at the beach. Also notable: This tape features the first WDN appearance of future cast member, Ryan M (My cousin).
37.SOW 16. September 16, 1992. All good things must come to an end. All bad things SHOULD end as quickly as possible. This is our last wrestling tape. Yippee!!! The sad thing is, we didn't want it to end. We had to end it, because no one in the neighborhood would wrestle with us anymore!
38.WDN 22. September 18, 1992.
39.WDN 23. September 20, 1992.
40.WDN 24. September 22, 1992.

45.WDN 28. March 12, 1993.
46.WDN 29 "Rocks." April 21, 1993. A tape full of other people's songs that we made fun of. We copied pieces of Cruel Music tapes into songs.

48.WDN 30. May 27, 1993.
49.WDN 31. June 5, 1993.
50.Cruel Connection: "Two Hours In The Life Of The Cruel Connection." December, 1993. A bit of a ripoff of Metallica's "Year & A Half In The Life Of Metallica." This is a documentary about us.
　
---------------1994---------------
51.WDN 32. January 23, 1994.
52.WDN TV. April, 1994. The title says it all, it's a "televised" version of WDN. This tape marks Terry's final appearance with WDN for many years (he returned in 2003 for "Reporters on the Beach 9"). The tape also features the debut of our ripoff of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," "WDN Theater."

58.Cruel Connection: "The Big Thing." August 1, 1994. Fake concert video.

60.WDN TV 2. November, 1994. More of the "televised" version of WDN.

62.Cruel Connection: "Jams 1." December 18, 1994. FINALLY an audio tape that displays the horrible musical abilities of our little band. Very early stuff compiled on a 60-minute tape. This tape is so early, we didn't even know how to play our instruments yet!
　
---------------1995---------------
63.WDN TV 3. January 1995. The final installment of the "televised" version of WDN for 5 years. What happa? The WDN camcorder died, and Junebug didn't buy a new one until 2000.
64.Cruel Connection: "Hey, Sweat, Woops." January 25, 1995. Fake concert video. What is "Woops," you ask? It's a quote from our SOW days. For Cruel Connection purposes, "Woops" became our version of the "Bleep" people tend to hear when something is being censored.
65.Cruel Connection: "Smells Like Jooky." February 16, 1995. Fake concert video.
66.WDN 34. April 2, 1995. This tape features Roger's final WDN appearance, to date. WDN almost died after Roger left. It would take over three years to wake the sleeping WDN monster.
67.Cruel Connection: "Jams 2- All By Ourselves." June 27, 1995. More "original" music by our little band. We were starting to improve a little here, but we were still very untalented.

95.Emanon: 14. February 13, 1996.
96.Cruel Connection: "A New Beginning." February 26, 1996. Why was this "A New Beginning?" Because it became the final CC video tape. The "band" decided to stick with cassette tapes instead.
97.Cruel Connection 14: "February 1996." February 26, 1996. This tape marks the final "appearance" of Mr. Eric D. in Cruel Connection. C-ya, dude! From this point forward, CC is a one-man band.

117.Emanon: 17 "Happy Little Tree." October 24, 1996. For some reason, this is the most popular tape in the Cruel Music catalog. It features Emanon's HUGE hit song, "Happy Little Tree." Are you ready to mosh?
118.Cruel Connection 28: "Speechless." November 25, 1996. Yet another collection of guitar riffs and instrumentals.
119.Cruel Connection 29: "5 A.C." December 18, 1996. Translation: "Five Years After Cruel." This is a "greatest hits" collection, which marks the fifth anniversary of the band.

127.WDN 35: "Greatest Hits." June 15, 1997. The bands of Cruel Music were beginning to get repetitive and boring around this time period. It was time to bring back the old-faithful, WDN. Even though there was no new material recorded on this tape, it gave the public a glimpse of the soon-to-be returning WDN.
128.Cruel Connection 35: "Leftovers." June 27, 1997. The last of the five-song EP tapes. This tape was planned to be the last CC tape to be recorded for a few months, so the "band" could rest. It turned out to be a longer break than planned. This break would last for over two years.

---------------1998---------------
129.Independent Records: "Jams 9." March 21, 1998. Featuring the final performances of Emanon. This is also the last tape to bear the name "Independent Records." AND... It would become the last video tape produced by Cruel Music for a while, as the Cruel Music camcorder died.
130.WDN 36: "The Next Generation." April 18, 1998. Another self-explanatory title. This is the first new WDN tape in over three years. It features the beginning of Ryan M's career with WDN, also known as "Phase Three" of WDN.
131.WDN 37: "On The Phone." July 2, 1998. This one is named after the most successful WDN segment ever... the one where we prank call people. Look back on the description of the first WDN tape, if you don't believe me! As you might have guessed, it features a lot of prank calls.

145.Cruel Connection 36: "Cruel Karaoke." November 22, 1999. As with the WDN "Greatest Hits" tape (CM 127), this is to get the public prepared for the soon-to-be returning Cruel Connection. No new material here either... This tape features all of Cruel Connection's karaoke hits. These "hits" were previously only available on CC's video tapes. They were converted to cassette tape, and this very tape is the result of that conversion.
146.WDN 51: "Have a Very Good Dee." December 29, 1999.

154.WDN 55: "The Very Early Years." April 9, 2000. In 1993, a bunch of old tapes from the 1980's were found. This tape is the beginning of the "Transfer all of these old tapes over to new tapes, and call them WDN" period.

158.Cruel Connection 37: "Visit Your Mother's Sunglasses." August 25, 2000. Yet ANOTHER one of the CC tapes that feature guitar riffs and other stuff. This one is special, in that it includes some out-takes for the upcoming fifth demo "album."
159.Cruel Connection 38: "Project: Elian Gonzalez." September 9, 2000. The fifth demo "album." Remember that adorable kid, Elian Gonzalez, who fled Cuba, and tried to hide out in Florida? This tape is all about him!
160.Emanon: 18. October 25, 2000. This tape is the first in another annoying series Cruel Music videos being converted to cassette. Will the insanity ever end? Of course not! That just wouldn't be any fun... This series has become known as "51 Hours of Somewhat Previously Unreleased Footage!" If each tape is 60 minutes long, can you guess how many more of these you'll be seeing listed here? Hint: There will be around 51.

----------------2002---------------

216."The Sights And Sounds Of Cruel Music 2001-2." June 25, 2002. A big ol' 6-hour compilation of new Cruel Music crap! Features lots of stuff by WDN, some news, documentaries, and even a jam session by Antiseptic Anxiety!
217.Cruel Connection 42: "Conception." July 31, 2002. Yet another tape full of new riffs and demos... Maybe this stuff will actually make it on to an "album" one day.
218.Cruel Music: "August 31, 2002." August 31, 2002. This tape is a diary-type-documentary-thing of how exciting life is in Chatty. It captures every highlight of the day, in the span of 30 minutes... Some of these highlights include: Tom singing, Junebug talking to 10 on the phone, guitar pickin,' and watching TV. Can you handle the drama? We think it's best if you didn't try it...
219.Weekend Sale "Sick." September 30, 2002. Like concept albums? Well, "Sick" may just change your life forever! This strange CD (the first CD recorded in Cruel Music history, by the way) has a central theme of having the flu. It only lasts about 30 minutes, but the chart-topping hit "I Can't Believe" makes it worth your time.

221.Weekend Sale "I Can't Believe: The UK Single." November 3, 2002. What a treat, eh? The UK single of Weekend Sale's big, huge, monster hit song, "I Can't Believe." It features re-mixes, and all the other dumb things that UK singles usually feature.
　

----------------2003---------------

222."WDN Presents Reporters On The Beach 9: The Video." August 17, 2003. All the fun you've come to expect from WDN over the years. A grand total of 2 hours of said fun! And, it even features cameo appearances by WDN founder, Terry, and his family. This video turned out to be the only thing we recorded in 2003. Slow year...
　

----------------2004---------------

223."WDN TV Volume 5." July 2, 2004. Another one of those massive 6-hour tapes! This one covers a two-year period. Some of the footage captured here includes crap like The Few Get Family's big 5-31-04 mud slide. Exciting stuff! This tape features Ryan's last appearance with WDN.
224."WDN Presents Reporters On The Beach 10: The Video." August 22, 2004. It's a new dawn for WDN! We welcome Terry (creator of WDN)'s son, and another one of Junebug's cousins, Terry Jr., to the staff of WDN... Or not... This tape was an attempt to begin WDN "Pase Four," but it just didn't work out...

----------------2005---------------
225."WDN TV Volume 6." May 16, 2005. More of what you've come to expect from WDN, except this time the tape only lasts 2 hours. Even though WDN "Phase Three" was over, this tape was an attempt to continue in that vein, and it just didn't make the grade... It became the last recording of WDN for nearly three years.
226."Junebugg Fewget's Big, Wild 2005 Myrtle Beach Vacation." August 28, 2005. A visual diary of Junebug's vacation. It's funny, and a little disturbing, and it lasts 2 hours.
227."Junebugg Fewget's Video Journal (August 31-September 11, 2005)." September 11, 2005. Not quite sure about this... I guess it's, like, for my die-hard fans, who can't get enough of me. Kinda like Tom Green's video blogs (ever saw those?). And, this particular tape deals A LOT with me being love-sick. So, maybe it's good for die-hard fans of love(?). I don't know... Whatever it is, it lasts 2 hours.
228."Junebugg Fewget's Video Journal (September 16 - October 16, 2005)." October 16, 2005. Some talk about love, but mostly mountain-top journeys, and news bits. Pretty lame, really. (2 hours).　


----------------2006---------------

229."Junebugg Fewget's Video Journal (October 19, 2005 - July 2, 2006)." July 2, 2006. More of the same lameness you've come to expect from these journal things... Features the end of the "Roadside Studio" days, the beginning of the "Belfry Studio" days, and the end of the "Belfry Studio" days. This will most likely be the last tape of the series. (2 hours).
　

----------------2007---------------

231.Antiseptic Anxiety "The Threat Is Real" July 31, 2007. The long-awaited return of Antiseptic Anxiety is in the form of this 7-song EP. Features: Dead Rat (?!), I Have To Fart, Pete's Hay, He Walks With Me, Talkin' Show, Country Girl, and Bible Song.
232.3 Santas "Christmas Karaoke" December 25, 2007. It's kinda what it says it is, a Christmas karoke album... With a twist... Three guys dressed like Santa Claus are singing the songs! Features guest vocals by Aunt "10" on one song, "O Holy Night."
　

----------------2008---------------

233."WDN 69: Larry King With Oprah And Friends" January 30, 2008. The first official "Phase Four" WDN recording, featuring a one-man show of Junebug impersonating several fictional characters (Karl Childers *IS* Larry King!).
234."29 Things Not To Do While Trying To Study." February 27, 2008. Here's the story... I recorded myself reading chapter summaries from my Management 320 book, in an effort to help me study during my last semester of college. The plan was that I would play the CD over and over, and memorize the stuff covered in each chapter, thus helping me to do good on my tests. The only problem was that I ended up doing a lot of other things while I was trying to memorize the stuff. So, as you might have guessed, I didn't do so good on the tests. But, on the bright side, I got this hilarious CD out of the deal!
235.Junebugg Fewget "Cover Sessions 2005-2008" March 29, 2008. I bought my nifty little Zoom Pocket Studio 4 back in 2005, and I started recording a CD of cover songs. I was just really slow in doing so. The entire CD took nearly 3 years to complete. Features my versions of Beatles, Nirvana, Faith No More, Bob Dylan, Nine Inch Nails, and Pearl Jam songs. The first 235 pressings have a bonus track, the old Rockapella song, "For The Longest Time."
236."WDN 70: Gump & Co." April 29, 2008. 70 recordings is quite the accomplishment, don't you think? We do, too! So, to commemorate this milestone in WDN's nearly 20-year history we recorded this *MASSIVE* 6-disc boxed set. To some folks it would seem to be nothing more than an audio book. We have news for these folks: It's not! It's an audio book with a WDN twist! Check it out, Ja?
237."Home Video 2007-2008." May 9, 2008. Kinda self-explanatory. This is a 2-hour home video recorded between July 2007 and May 2008. Features Junebug and Denise's wedding, and their wild honeymoon.
238."WDN 71: Larry King Live: Are UFOs Real?" May 19, 2008. Junebug reads more Larry King transcripts with a host of characters. And, like before, Larry King's voice is provided by Karl Childers.
239.Ultrapoop "The Demo" June 5, 2008. A lot of Jonathan's 17-month-old gibberish with a little of this and that to go along with it. Features Junebug and his parents, too!
240.Ultrapoop "The Album" June 13, 2008. Is it pop? Is it techno? Is it folk? You be the judge! Features 11 "songs." Lots of different noises with Jonathan on lead vocals.
241.Ultrapoop "The Remix" July 1, 2008. Umm... The remixed version of those same 11 songs. The last recording to feature Big Tom before his stroke.
242."WDN 72: Larry King Live: Psychic Kids" August 21, 2008. This is kinda becoming what WDN is all about these days... Includes a special guest appearence by Aunt "10."
243."WDN 73: The Whole Entire Phone Anthology" September 28, 2008. Just in time for WDN's 20th anniversary, this is EVERY SINGLE phone call ever recorded throughout WDN's history captured in a ten-disc boxed set. Celebrate with us!
244. "WDN 74: Larry King Live: Could There Be Ghosts?" October 29, 2008.  The big Halloween Special!
245.Junebugg Fewget "Buh Buh Done Got The Blues" November 14, 2008. One song, lasting 39 minutes. It's called "Buh Buh Done Got The Blues." It's a blues-based-improv-sort-of-thing.
246.3 Santas "Deckin' The Halls (Christmas Karaoke 2)" December 13, 2008. Following the standard, olden-day tradition of Cruel Music, this is yet another karaoke album. Features guest vocalists "10 ("Away In A Manger")," and Karl Childers ("Joy To The World").
247."WDN 75: Larry King Live: Twas The Night Before Christmas" December 24, 2008. The big Christmas Special! This time Larry interviews a lady, whos husband was killed in a horrific garbage truck explosion.
　

----------------2009---------------

248."Famous People (Soundtrack)" January 28, 2009. A very sick Junebug tells stories about all of Chatty's "Famous People." Backed up by music from 1996's instrumental album "Not a Word Was Spoken (CM114)," this 13-song journey is guaranteed laughs for all!
249."WDN 76: Boring Everyday Life" February 22, 2009. It is what it is... Nothing too exciting here. It's more like a home movie, except it's just audio. Features a lot of stuff from Jonathan, and some more sick Junebug moments. Much of the nonsense found on this album will be featured in the upcoming second Ultrapoop album. And an interesting tidbit: The album was completed at 2:22pm on 2-22-09. Coincidence? You decide...
250."Ultrapoop 2" March 22, 2009. The exciting follow-up to the multi-platinum "Ultrapoop" album! Features the smash hit "I Got A Strawberry," and 13 other songs.
251."Cruel Music: The End" April 25, 2009. A 16-song compilation of the Cruel Music CDs created during the 18 months we lived on View Avenue. Features stuff by Ultrapoop, Antiseptic Anxiety, WDN, 3 Santas, and Junebugg Fewget.

Happy 18th Birthday, Scruffy!!!

Dead Mountains And Visions

So what's the big deal? They're just mountains! They'll grow back in a hundred thousand years! So what if the people living in the valleys are threatened by tornadoes and floods all the time! There's millions of dollars just sitting there under all those nasty-looking trees!

Umm... This crime was committed near Aunt "10'"s house. It's one in a whole series of decapitations in the area. I had a dream about this when I was a kid, by the way. Last summer, when the perpetrators were blasting this mountain there was dust everywhere around 10's house. It reminded me of the dream I had when I was, like, 10 years old. I didn't know how to interpret the vision back then. In the dream I was really scared, and I was seeing smoke, and I thought it was the end of time. When I saw my vision coming true last summer I knew what everything meant. The smoke in my dream was the dust from the mountain. There were fires up there, too, but it was mostly dust. I'm a part-time psychic. I've accurately predicted quite a few things in my life... Most notably, our house burning down. I usually can't predict things that are actually useful, though. I guess I've still not really learned how to control my "psychic powers." But, that's another topic for another day... But, anyway, the mountain in this picture is just about half as tall as it used to be. I'll try to sketch the way the mountain used to look right about here:

Mickey Vs. Mouse

World Record Books, Here I Come!

I was always kinda sickly as a child. It seemed that I was always sick, growing up. I had a three-year stretch without being sick period, from 2003-2006. It was amazing! Ever since January I've been sick, like, every other week. I think my immune system got screwed up, or something, in January when I had bronchitis. I finally got over that in mid-March. Toward the end of April I got sick again. On May 22nd, yes, I got sick again. And, on June 13th I got sick yet again! So, I've decided to make the most of my sickness. I'm going to try to be in the Guinness Book Of World Records for being sick more times in a year than anyone else in the world!

US. Postal Service Idea

(Forward from Roger)

Payback is fun!!
WRITE IT ON THE BACK OF YOUR ENVELOPES or front. WE THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. WE'LL START WRITING IT ON THE FRONT OF OUR ENVELOPES, TOO! ----------

Including BillsYou may have heard in the news that a couple of Post Offices in Texas have been forced to take down small posters that say 'IN GOD WE TRUST,' The law, they say, is being violated. Anyway, we heard proposed on a radio station show, that we should all write ' IN GOD WE TRUST' on the back of all our mail. After all, that's our National Motto, and -----all the money we use to buy stamps. We think it's a wonderful idea.. We must take back our nation from all the people who think that anything that offends them should be removed.

If you like this idea, please pass it on and DO IT. The idea of writing or stamping..........'IN GOD WE TRUST ' on our envelopes sounds good to us ...SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING A STAMP MADE TOO........lets use it as our signature on e-mails, too!

It's been reported that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, we have a very hard time understanding why there's such a fuss about having' In God We Trust!' on our money and having God in the pledge of Allegiance. Could it be that WE just need to take action and tell the 14% to 'sit down and shut up'? If you agree, pass this on, if not, delete!!!

BUT REMEMBER IF YOU DELETE THIS, that's one reason why this world is in the mess we're in now. WE SIT BACK & LET IT HAPPEN!!

IN GOD WE TRUST
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission. -Eleanor Roosevelt-

Earthly Possessions

Here is what I left the house with when it was on fire, on 4-2-09:

My shoes.

My jacket.

My long johns.

My MP3 player.

My 4-track recorder.

I didn't realize, at the time, that our house was going to burn to the ground, or else I would've tried to save some other things... Our computer, our CDs, our camera, our camcorder, our *BRAND NEW* big-screen TV!!! I didn't know what was going on, though. I tried to call 9-1-1, and tell them that *SOMETHING* just happened, but the phone was dead. When I laid the phone down I saw my MP3 player, and my 4-track recorder laying nearby, so I grabbed them. This was everything I owned as we watched our house burn... As I walked away with Baby Girl it hit me, for the first time, exactly how unimportant all of our earthly possessions really were. The only thing that mattered was that we were okay. I didn't care about anything else, almost immediately.
