It absolutely sucks that there's practically no Town left, just commuters and pigeons and homeless people and smoking craters that are under construction. Okay, and bagels and coffee, too, which made it slightly more worthwhile than hitching a bus into the suburbs. But still, this in-between waiting period is almost worse than the urine-smelling nightclub district and wig epicenter that Town used to be.
Damn, dude, I can remember when it was a big deal to go Dahntahn and spend the day there... and in high school, we used to hang out in Town for at least an hour or two every afternoon. I still think of that Bolan's Candy shop that used to be on Forbes and Wood with wistful longing, every time I pass it. They had the best peanut butter fudge in the entire world. And now it's a Cricket store. Hell, there's not even a Point State Park right now. I forget when they're gonna be done renovating that. In time for the Arts Festival, hopefully, because I kind of thought the new location sucked.
So despite everyone's optimism, I have my doubts about all the loft apartments going up all over the place, and the hypothetical grocery store. Just on principle. Because who's gonna live in Market Square? Really. And just now it just occurred to me that the new casino and this ridiculous under-river tunnel is going to affect things too. Who wants to live in Market Square, across the river from a casino? And the idea of the same people in charge of the Birmingham Bridge and the Convention Center having anything to do with a tunnel that goes under the Allegheny river... *shudder* Anyway, I had sort of been imagining those projects in a little vacuum on the North Shore, but I guess it's all connected. And then, there's the new hockey arena; that's sort of an unknown variable in the equation, too. I wonder, can they really pull this whole damned crazy scheme off?

Here I am feeling crappy and miserable. I create a comforting mix of pop garbage and other musical nonsense and grab my new book.
I read, "Really, it's a shame more jello salads don't look like pimp hats," while listening to Hocus Pocus by Focus. (Note - seriously, do yourselves a favor and watch this.) And suddenly I realize I feel a lot better.
Should I be worried about this?

It all started with Ozzy, who is a god among men and a pathetic fucked up individual all at the same time. Then I chose my halloween costume (expect pictures to my flickr around Sunday). This morning I delved into Ozzy's guitarist and handpicked honorary son, Zakk Wylde. (Also frontman for Black Label Society.) OMGWTF so goddamn awesome.
Remember, I am a Yinzer. A lot of this comes to me honestly through my dad.
Still, do not try this at home unless you are a qualified professional, or you'll probably think it sucks wombat balls and start passionately hating me. If your ears start to bleed, or you develop a case of Headbanger's Whiplash, discontinue use and contact your doctor.
So anyway, just a few minutes ago, I realized we had none of our Marilyn Manson on the computer, no Tool, nor Metallica, and only one Primus and two Nine Inch Nails. And the boy and I being teenagers when we were, we own quite a lot of this shit in hardcopy. (Okay, only the good Metallica album, before they went all Digital Rights Management on our asses and started to suck.) But beyond that -- Iron Maiden and Motorhead and Judas Priest and even Slipknot and Lamb of God -- of these things I know little. Regardless, I can't believe what we do have is not already in the digital library, quivering to be added to the mp3 player. So this is my project for the evening. (That and putting a hurting on our beer supply. Thursday is my Friday -- it's a celebration, bitches.)
At any rate, the 10-day forecast predicts massive amounts of \m/ >8D \m/ and an outside chance of RAAAAAAA. You have been warned.
