Thankfully, Congress deflected the most recent unbelievable corporate welfare attempt today. Although, I am sure they will just put together some similarly disturbing bill to pass next week. However, given my earlier post, I thought it best to give them a little credit for today’s effort.
Good job, Congress. You only MOSTLY suck.

Work Sucks - A M-F Daily Diary
We have a new spin on why work sucks today…
- Today work sucks because at least some pecentage of my time will be spent working to help bailout the bullshit finance companies associated with the treasury’s $700 Billion American public train robbery, which the government is bending over to accept.
- I don’t have a mortgage. Most people I care about are paying their mortgage just fine because they did not spend more than they could afford.
- I am getting really tired of paying for goverment and corporate inefficiencies.

Today music is the shit because…
- I am in the studio recording guitars for the last 6 songs of our upcoming album.
- We are recording these guitars with Dave Wood, who happens to be a complete badass (a la Jesse McCartney and Hillary Duff).
- The amps are turned up to 11.

Work Sucks - A M-F Daily Diary
Today work is dreadful because…
- I am dealing with yet another Friday hangover (I might as well just cut and paste every week).
- To give you an indication as to the magnitude of this particular hangover: I woke up this morning at 10:30. I went into my kitchen to find empty, crusty guacamole bowls and chips all over. There were empty margarita glasses and a bottle of whiskey. And, probably most important, a bird flying around the room slamming into the kitchen windows.
- Now THAT is a hangover.

Today music rocks because…
- When my band and I are all rockstars, hangovers will be a work related injury.

Work Sucks - A M-F Daily Diary
Work is retarded today because…
- Work is retarded everyday. But, it’s not retarded in the musical sense, which is when a song’s tempo slows down. It is retarded like this guy:

Today music is slickmode because…
- I have a new mandate. We are now going to work with non-traditional outlets to get our music out to the masses. Calling all political blogs, organizations of change, humor websites, and particularly The Onion. We are your band.

Work Sucks - A M-F Daily Diary
Work sucks because…
- Although it is very convenient to have endless subject matter for my blog, I would trade it in for more than 1-3 days a week of un-suck.
Music Rocks - A “When I Get Time” Daily Diary
Today music is funny because…
- We found out the details of the great gig opportunity I posted about yesterday and they want us to sell $1225 in tickets. I am judging by the number of comments we get on our blog, that either we will not meet that goal or we will have to sell tickets for $204.25 each. (Note: Sacasm)
Any takers?

Work Sucks - A M-F Daily Diary
Work was pretty bullshit today because:
- I got off of work at 9:30pm and I am not working retail.
Music Rocks - A “When I Get Time” Daily Diary
Today it is be dawn of a new era in music because…
- We have just been offered an opportunity to play with the Skatalites or John Brown’s Body. Both have great horn sections like us and attract a ton of people. Should be a blast!

Work Sucks - A M-F Daily Diary
Jobs are like a box of chocolates.
- They never really tell you what is inside a box of chocolates until you buy it.
- Like jobs, chocolates seem great before you sink your teeth into one. Then you find that there is some horrible shit inside that leaves a bad taste in your mouth for a long time.
- If it’s cool, a box of chocolates is fine. If it is not cool, it melts and turns into a pile of shit with peanuts and other really nasty stuff in it.
- Boxes of chocolates are usually made by pompous fat cats who don’t understand that most people just want Fiddle Faddle.
And, I’m vegan, so I hate boxes of chocolates.
Music Rocks - A “When I Get Time” Daily Diary
Today music is killer because…
- Saw Ozomatli last night, with Michael Franti and Spearhead, and Lila Downs.
- Guest appearances by Charlie Tuna and Ja Rule.
- Circus performers and high school cheerleaders (not necessarily in order of priority).
- Our trumpet player, Chris Bautista, was playing with Lila Downs, the opening performer, to a crowd of 18,000.
I closed my eyes for a minute and saw my band playing the Hollywood Bowl. Ahh, destiny. It’s a good thing.

Work Sucks - A M-F Daily Diary
Work sucks like it always does when I have a hangover except:
- This morning I woke up at 8am at the foot of my bed with my legs hanging off and all of my clothes still on. Let’s just say, that was very accurate foreshadowing of how I was to feel throughout the day.
Music Rocks - A “When I Get Time” Daily Diary
Today music is dope because…
- We got another track back from mixing and Yotam is flying out to Boston to wrap up a few more with our mixing engineer this weekend. We are almost ready to print new press kits with a better cd. That means college gigs, and college gigs means college chicks.
- Going to see Ozomatli on Sunday. Slick.

Work Sucks - A M-F Daily Diary
Work sucks again today because:
- I finished my sizeable project from the past two days and, fuck, they found more work for me to do.
Music Rocks - A “When I Get Time” Daily Diary
Today music is the twinkle in my eye because…
- I was listening to TOOL and playing air drums while crossing the street today and a truck full of girls honked, hooted and waved at me. It was slickmode.
