| I had a fun time yesterday when
Kimberly and I drove up to Jonesboro, AR to hang out with Alan
(Kimberly's Brother) and Becky (Alan's Wife). Alan just got a
beautiful new left-handed Fender
Jazz Bass and we jammed for a good portion of the day.
Even Kimberly joined in with a little percussion! I learned Roxanne
by the Police, which I think is the only song by them I now
know. Back in the early 90's I learned Every Breath You Take
for a gig at a honky-tonk called "Escapades," but that was
a loooong time ago. Let me
know if you have any suggestions for new songs to learn!
Also, my favorite store Comics
and Collectables has a new message
board out there which I have been frequenting lately. If
you're a comic fan, check it out! |

 Hey
Kids, it's me Spider-Man! Hal wants to wish everyone a happy
4th of July! Also, he posted a new comic book review out on Gruntbuckets
and he's thinking hard about writing a review of my new movie which
he saw Tuesday night at midnight... that crazy fool! He told
me that he'd like to see it a few more times in the theater before
he'd have much to say about it, though... but don't let that slow
you down because the preliminary opinion is that he loves it!
Also, he told me to tell you that the new RUSH Album - Feedback
rocks hard! You should go buy a copy today, Best Buy has them
for only $7.99, or at least they did on Tuesday. |

| Wow, it's been two weeks since I
posted an update to the page! Sorry about that folks, I've
been diligently working at my job
and staying away from computers during my free time. But this
is a weekend and I have something to talk about! A quick note
to everyone, Rush's new album is
out on Tuesday! I also posted a new comic review out on gruntbuckets.
And finally, I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 yesterday, which although it was
mostly just a collection of news stories and behind the scenes
footage, still inspired me to fill out my voter registration form
and send it in. I have to say, it didn't really change my
opinion much since I'm already a liberal democrat... I guess... I
mean, I've never really come out and said it before, but I guess I
am... anyway, it did solidify a few of the feelings and thoughts I
already had about the Bush presidency. I won't claim to be all
that knowledgeable about politics, but so what. That's why
people make movies like this. Oh sure, this film was
definitely a two-hour populist rabble rousing liberal criticism...
and hooray for that! I've always felt that free speech and
protest is the healthiest sign of democracy and I chafe at the
suggestion that doing so is unpatriotic. Hello?!? Not
being able to do that is a the sign of a real problem, people... and
if the conservative republicans out there wish to make a widely
released documentary on how great the Bush administration is, then
I'll go see that one too. Both sides should be told, and any
third, fourth, and fifth sides as well! |

| Hello one and all, I hope that
you are doing well! I posted a new comic book review out on gruntbuckets,
check it out! Last night was Freak Engine Friday, and it was
quite funny! The best part of the show was when they did a
version of "Party Quirks" and two of my suggestions for
unusual guests were selected, notably a bean burrito and Carrot
Top! Michael built a new site for Freak Engine and you can
find it here.
Other than that, I'm just really enjoying a three day weekend (the
Friday-Off variety) and am super glad that it's only half way
over!!! Yahooo! |

 I
pity the fool who don't check out Hal's Rush
In Nashville link! He also spouted some
jibba-jabba about how much fun the trip was and crap like that, but
I can't remember none of it! So back up, fool! Else you wanna
piece?!?! And if he don't post his comic review of the week by
tomorrow, I'm gonna put a "Clubber Lang-Sized" hurtin' on
him. Errrrrrgh! |

| Hey Everybody! Long break
since my last update, which can be mostly attributed to two
things... 1) I foolishly tried to integrate a new mouse into my home
computer system which resulted in much pain and anguish, and 2)
Steven Turman and I just launched our new
comic book review site. From here on out, that's where
I'll be posting my comic pick of the week and the "It Came From
The Stacks" series. Check it out! It's in its baby
stages now, but soon it's going to be awesome! In other news,
All Rush Month is coming to a close as Wednesday is the big
night! Tomorrow's my last day to catch up on all of my
listening. I'm currently working on Different Stages, and if I
push hard I can get Vapor Trails and Rush in Rio down before the
concert. So take it easy folks and keep on rockin'! And
Speaking of rockin', check out the excerpt
from Summertime Blues! |

 Greetings
Earthlings, I bring you great news! No, no... your
pitiful planet will still be destroyed as planned. I just
saved a lot of money on my space cruiser insurance by switching to
GEICO! Oh heavenly joy!!
In other news, Hal posted a new "It
Came From The Stacks" Review. Enjoy it while you can,
doomed creatures! |

| I'm all a flutter! RUSH
IS PUTTING OUT A NEW ALBUM!!! It looks like it's going to
be a cover album of 60's songs that they loved as kids... how cool
is that?!?
Lots of other changes an updates. I have a new comic of
the week posted and I moved around and modified my news archive,
movie reviews, and weekly comic archives. Have a look!

| Missed the weekly comic book run
today, work was a little crazy. Hopefully, I'll get a chance
to pick them up tomorrow and have a new pick of the week
posted. Latoya was voted off American Idol tonight, which I'm
happy about. I never really liked her for some reason... there
was a cockiness about her that just put me off. That and I
didn't want to end up with a Fantasia-Latoya final... don't get me
wrong, I think Fantasia should win... but I'd rather see Diana come
in second. ALL-RUSH Month continues as I am mostly through
Exit Stage Left. Tomorrow I should be digging into one of my
favorite albums, Signals. I also entered a Rush contest today
for a backstage meet and greet in Nashville. Probably won't
win, but man wouldn't that be cool?!?! |

| Hey Everybody! I spruced
up the new movie review section and added some more words to my Van
Helsing Review. All-RUSH month is still going strong as I
finished off Permanent Waves today and am ready to dive into Moving
Pictures tomorrow. Have a great day! |
