Smallville is such a great show… it’s so well done – writing, casting, acting, production are all excellent. It’s “family friendly” for the most part, which is a rarity these days. And you just can’t beat the Superman mythos.
Anyway, a great show – everyone should watch it!

This is the first day it has actually felt non-summer-ish… appropriate, since Fall officially started this weekend.
I was just outside mowing my yard in the cooler weather, listening to some old Guns N’ Roses, and was practically knocked over by a wave of nostalgia. Suddenly, it’s 1988, the beginning of my sophomore year of high school… constant trips on the school bus to football games or band contests. That was also the beginning of my self-imposed morphing from junior high nerd to angst-ridden teen rocker guy. Kind of hard to do with braces and Bon Jovi, but I gave it my best shot!
Anyway, it got me to thinking about high school. While I wouldn’t want to go back and re-do it (not even “knowing then what I know now”), I do miss the friendships. A good dozen close friends that I hung out with on a regular basis, and even greater number of passing acquaintances I considered friends. That’s definitely the one aspect I would like to recapture… as long as I could do it without the acne, braces, 1983 Chevy Celebrity, mullet hair (yes, I proudly wore one throughout high school), girlfriend issues (more appropriately, the lack of one), etc. etc. etc. 🙂
I’m working on getting some video online from the last performance of my last band (April 2000, I believe)… it’ll probably be up tomorrow.

Oh man – I’ve got a stomachache… I don’t know what I ate, but I haven’t been able to sleep all night. I finally gave in and drove to the quick mart to pick up some Pepto, a Sprite, and some Aleve. Maybe between the three it’ll settle things down.
But, I had the misfortune of the rudest cashier I have had the displeasure to run across in some time… didn’t bother to even look at me – in fact, she went out of her way to look everywhere *except* at me. Didn’t say a word, even when I asked her how she was. I can relate to having a lousy job, but maybe she should ask herself if her terrible attitude may have something to do with where she is at the moment…
