Its Toastedblog, an event greater than the World Cup....the World Series....and World War II combined!!

Its Valentine's Day, the greatest event known to man!!! Also, its a holiday made up for the sole purpose of having men spend money on their significant other through the purchase of chocolates, jewelry, and stuffed animals. How is this supposed to work again?? Oh well, we here at Toastedblog don't fear the Valentine's Day Reaper. The only holiday we're concerned with preparations for here at headquarters is St. Patricks Day. I sure hope my "I Got Lucky at McGinty's Pub" T-shirt still fits cause that could throw everything off. Quick sidenote to the don't fear the reaper comment just made. Think back if you will to a summer afternoon at the B II and the backyard barbecues that they used to have on Wednesdays. Remember that one drunk who came complete with shaky demeanor, indecipherable drunk talk, and the brilliant scent no man pouring his life away should never be without, urine!! We called him BOC for his crazy look and the ridicule he took whenever Blue Oyster Cult was ever mentioned. That one night when we tried to get him to come with us to Trappers for more beers but he kept saying that he wasn't allowed to go there, for some reason I can only guess had to be alcohol related. But Jitter would not be denied and we opted to disguise him as Jitter's uncle (Not Uncle Jitter) but he ended up getting out of the car on the way there.

Ok, I am getting off of the subject. Now to really get off the subject, whatever happened to the band Bush. I am currently listening to Chuck's Mix, 1993-94 edition, and it starts off with Everything Zen. Got me thinking, we all know that Gavin Rossdale is hitched with the love of Phelpsy's life, Gwen Stefani, but Bush was everywhere that year, even the year or two following 1994. With hits like Machinehead, Little Things, Comedown, and Glycerine, they just fell of the face of the earth the last few years, although I liked the song "The Chemicals Between Us" from the 1999 album The Science of Things. Its not like I am a huge Bush fan or anything, but its all too familiar with music from back in the day. In 1994, MTV still played some videos. VH1 had never even thought of having a top 20 countdown that featured rap, and reality tv was contained to the Real World, before MTV realized that it could also ruin that by getting the kids in the house all plastered and hooking up with one another. The show used to have some merit, now it is just some girl with big boobs starved for attention, a few gay guys, some other girl that won't break up with her boyfriend and thinks that every problem in her life is no way her fault, a redneck with a heart of gold, and some curly haired dude. Can you tell that I was hung over on Sunday. Dammit Billy's birthday. Damn you!!! To tie all this nonsense together, Gavin Rossdale recently did a song with the Blue Man Group called "Current", or something.

That's some good clean family fun right there. Posted by Hello

Speaking of Billy's birthday, it was a few days ago and on Saturday night, Rage Kage (Billy's lady friend Kathie, yeah I wonder where they get it too, tee hee) got a few of his lovable and handsome friends together for a few beers. It was quite the time, although I took the notion of having a few beers and really went with it, you know. I wasn't crazy or anything, but I certainly felt a little groggy on Sunday morning. Had to be the endless supply of draft beer and poor choice of half a sandwich for dinner. But, did I mention that the particular sandwich in question was a reuben. A leftover reuben, hence the half part, but oh so delicious!!! I don't think I have ever closed out Clarks before or knew that Bill's sister Kate had a love for Mr. Show. By the way, the name of the Patriotic Country Singer in the sending the monkey to blow up the moon was C.S. Lewis Jr. Don't mess with God's America!! Now only if I could remember some more of the song lyrics.

I have been plugging away at this blog for a little while now. Actually, it has only been about three minutes of typing, but it has been continuously maximized/minimized since 9am. Ah......the beauty of updating nonsense information for the benefit of my internet readers. In all seriousness though, taking a birds eye look at this blog is making me throw up a little in my mouth. It's that bad. There is no flow, no awesome quotable lines for the kids to use on the street. All we have is a clever title partially stolen from a movie, a cute picture, also stolen from a movie, a bunch of garbage in between, and a Toast, writing at his desk while listening to Radiohead and avoiding work. Well, if this isn't a good enough reason to get another computer I don't know what is. I was actually looking into doing so seeing as how I have been computerless for sometime now. I saw a commercial for a Gateway Notebook for like $699. Seemed like a good deal, although I know nothing about the Notebook being offered and its capabilities. Perhaps this sounds like a job for the tax return??? Toastedblogs written at home.....is it even possible????

Well, this officially marks the last time I write a Toastedblog entry with nothing to talk about. If Toastedblog continues down this path, folks are going to start to consider it bush league. Hahahahaaahahhahaha (maniacal laugh)......Danny. A well written entry complete with thought and purpose shall follow this up later in the week.
