Friday's Trojan Inventory

I am in such a good fuggin' mood right now. Let's just rant about things..it's just gonna flow. Get your towels. I'm officially past my probation period at work! I got a raise and I feel like I really fit in at work now. I really enjoy my job! I got groceries tonight. This weekend I'm going to clean the fridge out, do laundry, do some more c leaning, a nd finish reading The Half Blood Prince. Speaking of Potter. I have enjoyed reading those books. I'm glad The Skank That Shall Not Be Named left them here. They are worth picki ng up, if you haven't already. Some funny pics that Jessi found over the last weekend over here. They're too cute not to show everyone! I had a good time hanging out with her. I really felt refre shed spending all those ho urs together doing fun and relaxing things. I sh ould have my self a c ar b y t his weekend! I won't ha ve my license for anoth er few weeks. H opefully no more than 4, if I'm lucky 2 w eeks! I...

Once this stress over my court date Tuesday has passed, it's on to focus on the next show. I'm hoping I come out of this funk in time to enjoy it. May 6, Saint Diablo will be playing with Unhinge!!!!!!, Fallen Under and Behelmod. This will be a celebration of sorts for St. D's CD release, Republica. The songs they've played so far are crazy, and if you're at any local record store, you have to pick it up. You can also get it at their site lickety split! I also can't wait to see Unhinge again. I did a backflip when I found out they were getting back together. I'm chomping at the bit for this show. I know that it's going to be a lot of fun. Did I mention that I can't wait? Did I mention Saint Diablo gave The Wrecking Crew a mention in their new CD?

Chilly Rain Off

Image
Saturday morning, Jessi and I loafed around the apartment and slowly made our way through the rain windshield wiper free to the Chilli Cook Off. We got there in time to see 3/4's of the Faktion set. We completely missed Fail-Safe, but I figured we'll catch them again at some point this summer, since they are local and not my choice of band that should have opened the event. Faktion was OK. They're going to get their asses run into the ground by Roadrunner this year though playing every state fair and local event they can possibly tolerate. I'm sure by next year they'll be touring with the likes of Hoobastank or Fall Out Boy. Hooray for them. Nonpoint was up next. They pretty much were the whole reason I wanted to go to the cook off. I loved it a lot! They probably should have headlined the event, but it was good they got in so early while everyone was still mostly sober. They've made it a long way. I thought they would have fizzled out years ago. Hinder wa...

We're All So Typical

I wish I could take credit for this, alas, I cannot. But I like this a lot! I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep. The very next day I op...

Holy Bowel Movements!

Tomorrow, Jessi and I will be heading to the racetrack to enjoy lots of 12 alarm chilli recipies, listen to some cool bands, meet some cool people, and use probably the smelliest porta potties that have ever been used at a public event! Here's the band schedule: 12noon - Fail-Safe 12:50pm - Faktion 1:50pm - Nonpoint 3pm - Hinder 4:10pm - Shinedown 5:40pm - Trapt Then it's off to see some bands at The Canal Club: Flyleaf Revolution Theory Mercy Fall

What Have You Done?

Image
I know, Salma, I finished the overhaul of my blog! It's a complete change of pace from what I had before, and I have a long way to go. I'm working on my header now, which takes time. I do like the look, though. It's calming and lazy..like me. I just have to be sure to use bright enough colors so that people aren't squinting too hard at my content. And I have to find the floating problem that is causing this site to go crazy on Internet Explorer. Stick with Firefox or any other browser until I have that fixed. Check out Kelly's blog. He had an exciting day. Also be sure to check back for pictures and stories from his Mexican adventure. Jessi will be here tomorrow night and I have a weekend of fun lined up including trips to Short Pump, Carytown, downtown, and of course the Chilli Cook Off.

Tool - Vicarious

Anyone got to hear the new tool song yet? It's pretty cool. Eye on the the TV 'Cause tragedy thrills me Whatever flavor it happens to be, like... "Killed by the husband" "Drowned by the ocean" "Shot by his own son" "She used a poison in his tea...kissed him goodbye" It's my kind of story It's no fun until someone dies Don't look at me like I am a monster Frown out your one face But with the other Stare like a junkie Into the TV Stare like a zombie While the mother holds her child Watches him die Hands to the sky crying, "Why, oh why?" Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance Vicariously I live while the whole world dies You all needn't choose your lie Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowing Neither the brave nor bold Are right as the story's told We won't give pause until the blood is f...

Another Festival

flyleaf Family Values Tour is back. Good news it's in Va Beach on the 27th of July here. Bad news, that's a Thursday. MTV.com is reporting that KORN and DEFTONES will be co-headlining this year's Family Values Tour . Rounding out the mainstage lineup will be STONE SOUR , FLYLEAF and DIR EN GREY . For the first time, the trek will also feature a second stage, with acts to be announced soon. "We're gonna have some hip-hop acts and some other variety stuff gong on," KORN frontman Jonathan Davis told MTV.com . KORN are putting the value in Family Values , offering $9.99 lawn tickets at each stop on the tour, which kicks off July 27 in Virginia Beach. "No band can go down to $9.99 and do the production and that kind of stuff that we're doing, but the deal we did [becoming equal partners with EMI and promoters Live Nation ] allows us to be able to do that, wh...

Spam for the Day

This will be fun since I get about 3 or 4 spam items in my gmail every day. I check it when I get home becuase I have no time for internet, email, nothing at work now. The ads for today are for Viagra, some medicine to make my Johnson bigger, and for replica swiss watches. Thus: I stood there, smilng into the crowd with my large rock hard schlong and blinging with my convincingly fake Swatch.

Topaz Ready for Battle

All she needs now is a sword. Ok, that's not Topaz, but she looks a lot like this cat...without the trashcan lid on her neck. I put a link in the title to some of the most obnoxious cat pictures I've ever seen.

Random...ness

I think it's time to venture into my life and mind again. There's not much there, so I'll be stretching. Really stretching. The apartment looks so good now. Tomorrow I'm going to focus on cleaning the bathroom and the floors some more, but after that this place is going to be spotless. I just need to get out and get new wall decor and posters. The stupid flower paintings have to go.The front closet is full of stuff going back to Lynchburg. I can't wait to get that cleaned out. Then I'm going to rearrange all my closets and storage. There's got to be some Mexican or Thai kid who's trying to get through medical school who wouldn't mind living in this tiny extra room and go to school and work full time. These Tru models are just fuggen beautiful! I'm doing crunches now...but it's not working fast enough! Tomorrow is Easter. Happy Easter everyone. And Happy Passover for my Hebrew friends. And whatever other holiday it is, Happy Whatever Day...

Are you Ready?

Christina, I am so ready...for Ozzfest. Hell for all of the summer concerts. Right now I'm chomping at the bit for the show at AlleyKatz on May 6. I'm sure I'll post about it at a later date. So what's going on in the world of Lewis? Not a whole lot. Prepare for boredom. I did laundry on Sunday. I walked my basket to the laundrymat and took Harry Potter with me to have something to read while I waited. It went pretty quick. It was nice and quiet outside. No gunshot wounds or crackheads running around. So I sat out and got about 2 hours worth of sun while I did my clothes. The pest people are coming in again tomorrow to spray for our perpetual bug problem. I have the place really clean now and I don't see many critters, but every now and then it's always a happy surprise to see 6 eyes staring me down when I'm trying to take a piss! They are almost done with the downstairs apartment. I am saying a prayer every night that I get cool neighbors. I know...

Lyric Time

From time to time I'm just going to post song lyrics to songs that mean a lot to me at the present time. Right now I'm all over this Pantera song. Cemetery Gates Reverend reverend is this some conspiracy? Crucified for no sins An image beneath me Whats within our plans for life It all seems so unreal I'm a man couldn't have feel this world Left in my misery... The reverend he turned to me Without a tear in his eyes It's nothing new for him to see I didn't ask him why I will remember The love our souls had Sworn to make Now I watch the falling rain All my mind can see Now is your (face) Well I guess You took my youth I gave it all away Like the birth of a New-found joy This love would end in rage And when she died I couldn't cry The pride within my soul You left me incomplete Memories now unfold. Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the Cemetery gates Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder aloud If you're watching over me Some place far abound I...

The Mysterious Mike

It's come to my attention that I'm this dark, strange, confusing lad. I'm just going to take a minute and honestly give a recap of a period of my life that has caused great consternation among my friends. Since they're so good at blowing things way out of proportion. I would rather them chew and distort the truth and the facts, rather than sensationalise me. In June of 1997 I met a woman. This woman's name was Debbie. We met at the Dollar Theater in Lynchburg which carried over to the McDonald's on Wards Road. From there the conversation went to her motel room in Appomattox, VA. There wasn't very much conversation there. We pretty much just shagged the remainder of the time that she was in town. She came to visit her brother who lives in Danville and to take care of business that I never honestly found out in Lynchburg. Nevertheless, as she was leaving, I thought to myself. I think I'll move back to Indiana with her. I was failing miserably out of colleg...

Joke Time

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?" The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars." "What that tell you?" asked Tonto. The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you, Tonto?" Tonto is silent for a moment, then says, "Kemo Sabe, you dumber than buffalo "cookies" on the prarie! Somebody stole tent." A little old lady is walkin...

A Cat's Guide

1. Introduction: Why Do We Need Humans? So you've decided to get yourself a human being. In doing so, you've joined the millions of other cats who have acquired these strange and often frustrating creatures. There will be any number of times, during the course of your association with humans, when you will wonder why you have bothered to grace them with your presence. What's so great about humans anyway? Why not just hang around with other cats? Our greatest philosophers have struggled with this question for centuries, but the answer is actually rather simple: THEY HAVE OPPOSABLE THUMBS. Which makes them the perfect tools for such tasks as opening doors, getting the lids off of cat food cans, changing television stations, and other activities that we, despite our other obvious advantages, find difficult to do ourselves. True, chimps, orangutans, and lemurs also have opposable thumbs, but they are nowhere as easy to train. 2. How and When to Get Your Human's Attenti...

AAARRRGHHH!!

I am so fucking pissed right now. I just want to scream! In fact I did a few times and punched my poor desk. What did I do to deserve this? My blood is boiling and I see red. I did nothing to merit being where I am now. 6 gunshots just went off. 6 fucking gunshots. What do I do? Go outside to walk? That's about all I can do. No I sit in my nonfunctional prison. Hell prisoners have it better than I do right now. I'm going to go back to lay in my little fetal ball on the floor and wallow in the failures of my life. I hope you're fucking happy!

Dammit, I want to go! (insert tantrum here) You'll notice I have them on my sidebar along with the other important dates including Ozzfest and Sounds of the Undergound. So far the Unholy Alliance tour is nowhere near my area, but I'm holding out hope that they will play one show somewhere around here...anywhere!

I Was Wondering

I look at my map sometimes that I have that shows people around the world checking out my site. I'm sure a lot of them are random drive by clicks as people search through blogs, but I keep asking myself, who are these people? I'd like to see a comment if you're dropping by the site, or if you check me out regularly. You can leave a comment or email me at mikey.lewis@gmail.com I'd love to hear from all of you and maybe give you a little exposure out here in the light. As dim as it may be..

Another Weekend...poof!

These two days that I get off at the end of the week are great. But they go so fast. It probably gets tired every personal post involves Jessi , but she came over this weekend to hang out and check in on me. We were going to hit up a house party in Lynchburg, but after looking at the gas prices and the limited budget that we had. We decided to stay here in Richmond. I figured she could use the peace and quiet anyways...and I needed the company. We then noticed Bullistic was playing at the Canal Club , but I decided against that too. Come to find out Unhinge was playing too! They just got back together...dammit. We both collectively kicked ourselves big time for missing out on that! Good news is they are playing in May with Saint Diablo!!! So what DID I do this weekend? Friday night we went into town for Red Lobster. I owed her dinner from a bet we made earlier this year, and I felt it was a good time to pay up. We both this afternoon finished the leftovers finally. We got our 30 ...

I Won!!!
