I had no idea….it makes me so happy to know that you are a girl. Alvaro broke his arm on Easter Sunday…….but after he fell……he came running up to me and said “Mom, I hurt my arm”……I asked him “Can you move it?”….he could. Can you move your fingers…wrist…he could. Then he jumped on his bike and started riding. As he was riding he said…”Riding my bike makes my arm hurt Mom”….Well, his Dad looked at me and said “Ummm, he wouldn’t be riding his bike right now if his arm was broken, and that’s what we thought, he never stopped moving or using his arm, in fact he was playing the Wii with his cousins, totally getting down with both arms later on that day, so I had NO idea that his arm was broken…#MOMFAIL………I took him into his Doctor almost two weeks later because he woke up in the middle of the night crying. Thank God, his doctor told me that happens a lot with little kids. So guess what…….now, we have to go into surgery this Friday to “reset” his arm. He broke his radius up near the wrist. I am kicking myself…like how could I not know my son’s arm was broken. Why didn’t it hurt him more…his teacher was cracking up, she said..Alvaro’s been doing PE, playing ball etc. He did tell her…”it hurts when I try and do the monkey bars”….Good God, I can’t even believe he was on the monkey bars with a broken radius. All my friends tell me….he’s going to be my “wildcard”. Oh, Hybridge, thanks for the re-set info. The doctor wanted to do Alvaro’s reset in the office with nothing for pain. I asked him…”Will that hurt” and he laughed and said…”it’s going to hurt like it does when you break your arm….we always suggest that the Mom’s go outside and sit in your car because he’s probably going to yell pretty good but it will help us avoid putting him to sleep”……and I only thought about it for a couple of seconds and I said…”That sounds BARBARIC, I think I’ll pass on the third world country type of reset”….When I got home and told my husband he was sort of pissed at me. He said, “you should have let the doctor go ahead and reset in the office…think about what this surgery is going to cost” Well, I say, that’s why God made Mom’s Mom’s and Dad’s Dad’s. My husband said…”Life for a man is not all about Mama’s hugs and kisses and cookies….it’s about time he learned all that” (uhh, he’s 7)….Oh, hell no! Can you imagine if his Dad had taken him to the orthopedic? The doctor would have said…”I can do this reset right here…..it’s gonna hurt like hell….because he has some new bone growth already, I’m going to have to break that up as well….and my husband would have been like…”cool, lets do this thing, I have a hammer out in my truck, can I get a discount if I do it instead of you?” My husband has this Latin third world country mentality about so many things. God help me! [-O< [-O< [-O< [-O< [-O<
Hybridge….Wow, you mentioned natural child birth….are you speaking of a partners natural birth? Just wondering because all this time I suspected you were a boy. I’m a big fan of unmedicated births, you have so much energy right after the baby is born…I was trained by a wonderful nurse/midwife who taught me pain in birth is a sign that you need to change positions…when you are unmedicated it’s easy to feel….when you change to a productive position the pain is alleviated. You help the baby “find” the correct position by squatting and moving. One of my proudest moments…after my first birth, I had a baby in one arm and I was down on the floor cleaning up the mess I had made…..blood and water and chunks of goop everywhere. My beautiful nurse/midwife said “oh no, please relax, we have people who will do that” and I was like “Yuk, nobody should have to do that” With my third…I’m having a freakscene sharing moment, my midwife invited a few nursing students in to watch a baby being born while the Mother was not on a bed but instead squatting on the floor……suddenly I yelled..”OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME, I’ve changed my mind I NEED something for pain RIGHT NOW” and she said…. “It’s too late for that sweetheart, I’m looking at a forehead full of blond hair”. After having two kids with dark hair, I was so excited to see this blond baby and her words gave me the strength I needed for that final push which is the hardest one. Hit it Tony……..and then pass it.
Oh terryfunku…..Tony Raines is “special” kind of Freakscener…….special like me but squared! Everytime I drive down to the Islands of GA I go through the kaolin area……I love the mineral green water that is the result of that.
anthony put up the MP3’s of the show this morning, which play fine…the flac files didn’t work for me…they had before but not now (audacity)
Great cover shot! Is it just me (I could be a little biased),both those nights sounded so GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!)Sorry I used the word “dumb ass” here, it was uncalled for, even in jest! I started my period on Friday (full moon)…..that must have been the problem! I loved hearing (and seeing) Severed Lips….that’s such a redemption! It sounds like a beautiful song, not like a huge soggy mess (which is what it sounded like the last time Dinosaur Jr was in Athens on 4/20/09). A huge soggy mess….sounds likes what’s inside my pants right now. Oh, Lord, I need to stop now….I’m trying to make inroads not outroads.
lauren, I just read that you asked, what I thought of the show…funny, we didn’t end up going. After, I went out of my way to alter my schedule and made arrangements to stay at my sisters house….a couple of days before the show, I came home and my daughter and my husband were laughing…he helped her to sell the tickets for twice what she paid for them and then she said (she’s 13, almost 14) Wow, I could make a business out of doing that…and then I had to tell her…I think that’s sort of illegal.
Goshrx, you are correct…I was the first one, standing in my kitchen the other day to use the word “dumb ass” to describe those folks who go to shows and watch them through the back of their cell phones….then my husband made a most excellent point by pointing out how ridiculous it was for me to get so excited, saying to everyone in the house, “come look, it’s video of J and the hometown boys”…..he was like, What a “dumb ass”, you are asking us to come and enjoy video that was probably shot by someone you just called a “dumb ass”.
Perhaps, though, you could forgive me and be a real friend by helping me come up with a solution. Should I just except the fact that when I go out to see a show, in front of me will be a whole line of people with cell phones in the air? I wonder why that bothers me so?
I love it that you said to me….”just don’t call people dumb ass and all is good”…I must admit, I tried that for a while, all wasn’t good, so I went back. Sigh.
Seriously, I really don’t have a problem admitting that I am dumb ass…I trust and pray, that as make my way forward in life, I might be able to lead by example.
goshrx, Perhaps you did not get to read the post above the post in which I called you a “dumb ass.” It was sort of long so I understand if you didn’t, I hinted at the fact that I am the reference point for “dumb ass”, I am the alpha and omega of “dumb ass”….don’t get all jacked up, I was just making friendly conversation, being that we are not friends, I can see how being called a “dumb ass” hurt you….but if we were to become like “friendly” we each other….you would probably become very comfortable with the term “dumb ass” because I use it almost everyday, to describe myself, my kids, my friends, my husband, my dogs. Until one is able to confess the fact that he or she is a “dumb ass”, then you hold yourself back from Heaven….and you get “Just like Heaven” interruptus….which, I must admit was a little hard to deal with. Liberate yourself, admit to yourself that you are in fact a “dumb ass”, I tell ya’…it feels so good you won’t believe it.
Dude, You said “don’t watch the video’s if you hate witnessing the process of recording them so much…Jesus”
but I’m pretty sure that coming to that realization is WHAT MY WHOLE FIRST POST WAS ABOUT, but thanks for giving me back my own insight. How much of a dumb ass do you think I must be, if I can’t stand seeing people at shows capturing stuff on their cell phones but then I want to go and “BITCH” because they didn’t capture the whole thing. I thought the humor in that would be more than apparent but I did forget that mercury was still retrograde and with computer type it’s hard to tell. To try and lighten the punch, I did throw in an LOL, and the words barrel, suck, and orgasm.. words that can sometimes soften a mans frustration but I’m sorry that didn’t work either.
I am just a “dumb ass” trying to upload myself into heaven. Honestly, the first step is confession! Once, I understood that I was just a “dumb ass”…it made trucking through life so much easier.
Here is to another fine day in Babylon…first stop…the cookie jar and the coffee press. O:-)
Oh, and in the best Gemini way possible, Can I address the “dumb ass” who recorded “Just Like Heaven”…”Why didn’t you get the whole song?” (LOL) Gosh, that just sucks…it’s like seconds before an orgasm when your kid comes barreling through the bedroom door. Urrrrggggg….Arrrrgggg….Shoot Me!
All that sounds so good. Ooh, no, I’m feeling the need to share another astrological reference. I’m going to share an example of my life “with a fire sign”.
As I was watching the above video of “Cortez”, I commented out loud…”Urrg, I hate folks that come to shows and stand there recording the whole thing on their cell phones…WTF?, people need to learn how to just “be here now” and enjoy what is in front of them. When you go to a show these days, (or a child’s soccer game or the Georgia aquarium) all you see in the front row is a bunch of dumb asses, with their cell phones raised in the air…I hate that!”
and then I looked at my husband and he had the total look of a person in the midst of being dumbfounded and full of disgust….and I said “WHAT?” and he was like…”Stef, you don’t see that you are the reference point of dumb ass in this situation, if it wasn’t for some dumb ass shooting video with his cell phone, then your dumb ass wouldn’t be standing there watching those dumb asses play music!”
“OMG, Juan, Now you are hatin’ on J,Kevin, and Kyle”? He said, “I’m not, I’m hatin’ on you”…and then to try and sooth his burn, I say to him, in the sweetest voice possible..”well, you do make a good point” and as he left the house, he yelled at me “I always make a good point”…bang, and then he slammed the door”
Very much like the thing we got into over the BP oil spill, I was horrified, like most of the world, I love the gulf, I spend a lot of time there…and I was afraid they would be unable to stop the flow and that whole area was going to be black, greasy and destroyed. I said out loud..”Oh, my God, how can this be happening…and he said….”Stef, you are responsible for the fucking oil spill, it’s your fault, instead of acting horrified….you need to fucking stand up and take part of the blame! Until I see you hooking up your horse and buggy in the morning you have no right to be upset. Case fu*king closed!
Wow, with the video thing, I do believe, I got caught up in a catch 22. Oh,well, I’m only human, not a god like my enlightened other half.
You can see why my girlfriends are like…”he’s so mean”, but I’m so used to it, I don’t think he’s mean, I think he’s kind of smart, that’s why I like him”
Oh well, here is to another fine day in Babylon, first stop this morning…the gas station of course!
Oh, Matthoney, I’m so glad Alone wasn’t played ….it’s an awesome song but I sometimes feel it’s J’s easy go to song. Sort of nice to see it left on the purple shelf somewhere. ;))
I can’t wait to hear it as well…thank you,thank you….if you don’t mind be asking terry, when was the last time you had seen J play? Have you been up in Alaska a long time…it looks so beautiful there…. but it seems so far away.
Regardless, I’m still excited to hear it. Between Witch, Sweet Apple, and of course Dinosaur, it looks like this year will be the year of J!
Yes…Matthoney, I left my music at home this evening and I threw on the radio in the car and I was trying to drive at night (not easy for me even with glasses) and I came upon a Christian radio station and you know sometimes (because I’m down with Christ) you can hear just the right message at the right time….BUT unfortunately for me, the whole theme of this “talk” was…..that the world REALLY is coming to an end soon….(we are truly now in the END TIMES folks) Jesus Christ…if that’s true, I do hope it’s the year of J, and I hope he can put some pep into his step so I can get some more J Mascis into my life before the….I forget what’s it’s called…the acceleration…no, that’s not the word…the rapture!
I like the sound of this heavy blanket stuff better than the witch stuff (sorry)
It sure sounds like J on drums, so I imagine that’s him on bass too. Great “bios” though.
….yup, King T,………… on drums, it sure does sound like J Mascis (LOL)…but at least (for my taste) he’s got those cymbals mixed down nice and low….I like it!
I’m thinking the Middle East one was the one that was sort of colorized all the way right? I just got so tired of seeing that “colorized” thing…I remember thinking, yikes, I’m done after just a few songs. Oh, and Murph without a shirt? Am I remembering right? yikes. Although I think Murph probably looks better without a shirt on than I do, still….My South American Mother in Law hammered it into me (not that had to be hammered in, I grew up in an uppity Southern house where men always had to wear an undershirt)….Men should NEVER appear without their shirts on in front of anyone other than their wives…period.
She says in her Latin accent it is “deese-cut-sting” and “ab-whore-rant” ….and if you see that type of man, you can tell right away “he is from lower class upbringing” and “he will be unable to provide you with anything….money, a home, or anything.” you never let my little grandsons walk around without a shirt on….ever” “but Tita, he’s only two years old!” “It doesn’t matter”…….Yes..that was a conversation that I had with my Aries Mother-in-law about my child walking around in his own yard….(more than 4 acres at that time) without a shirt. God Bless, she is now near the end of her life and other than the nurses who come by three days a week, I’m her primary care giver…and I love to push the envelope with her and make her laugh. I’ve watched soccer games with her at her house and said…OMG, look it’s Fernando Torres with his shirt off…look, look how the hair from his navel goes right down inside his soccer shorts! Just thinking about where that navel hair line leads is making me feel all tingly in my private parts. I’ve heard Fernando makes $40 million a year, you think he can provide for a family? You know, I do believe, I remember, when I first knew I was in love with your son…..he had on a pair of white pants that hung real low and he had no shirt on…I had come to his house in the morning as he was just getting dressed. At that time we were still just friends (I worked for him, and rode to work with him)….I told her, his pants were hanging so low that I could see a triangle patch of black hair at the end of his navel line and it kind of turned me on. He had a bagel cooking in the toaster for breakfast and he gave me half of his bagel and we ended up fucking right there in the kitchen before we moved to the bedroom…..cream cheese and all. I’ve again written more here then I did in my journal. Today, I wrote in my journal that life sucks today but sucks less than yesterday because I had an unusual bout of diarrhea yesterday which seems to have gone away today. Yay, I can’t talk too much about guitar pedals but can share diarrhea and cream cheese stories. Can’t wait to see the “Bug” stuff and good for Murph….it’s about time he shinned!
