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.
