Have you met Shana? She’s the star of Violet Winter’s “Abuse Me” music video. We like to take our shirts off in photobooths. Don’t read into it, she one of those chicks who likes chicks. Here we are at the Neon Apocalypse party at Beauty Bar.

We are a little behind schedule on recording The BLB’s second album. But that’s what happens when the producer and studio are in Chicago, the guitarist is in Colorado, and the rapper is in China. The next album is going to be a full-band record.

T-Shirts still available. The album is on iTunes. And they have a music video on YouTube. http://www.theblbmusic.com

This is an example of the “Irish Goodbye.” Leaving without saying goodbye.
There is also the “Irish Flu,” which is a hangover. And punching a loved one in the face is known as an “Irish Kiss.”

The 365: Day 563

Saturday, July 17, 2010 (198/563)

After work, at 12:30 A.M., I bought a bag of chips, two energy drinks, and a fifth of rum. I got in my car, and made it to Michigan in a new record time of just under 90 minutes. On the way I drank the energy drinks and ate the chips. I arrived in Michigan at 3 A.M. (EST) and the bonfire was still going strong. I took a healthy pull of rum, stripped down to my boxers, and ran into Lake Michigan. The water was incredibly warm. I stayed up with the fire until sunrise. Some people from Chicago were blowin me up.
