Viva Las Vegas

Tomorrow is the day!!! I'll be on the way to Vegas. I'm going to try to update via laptop during my trip, we'll see.

Viva Las Vegas

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot a money that's a ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And there all livin' devil may care
And I'm just a devil with love to spare
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'Cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won or lost on ev'ry deal
All you need's a strong heart and nerves of steel
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashin'
And your one armed bandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again

I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke well
I'll always remember I had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with ev'ry shot
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas
Viva, viva Las Vegas


See you when I see you.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Got the laptop configured and the truck is loaded and ready to go. Tonight is a night to kick back with a bit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Some bits.

Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
Sir Galahad: I don't think I was.
Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
Lancelot: No, it's too perilous.
Sir Galahad: Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
Lancelot: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
Sir Galahad: Oh, just let me have a little bit of peril?
Lancelot: No. It's unhealthy.
Sir Galahad: I bet your gay.
Lancelot: No, I'm not.

King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Woman: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Countdown

Countdown to Las Vegas!!!! I'll be on the road on Friday, working in Seattle on Saturday, and if all goes according to plan, in Vegas by Tuesday. There is a roller coaster on the top of a hotel that is calling out to me LOL. And there is the fact that last time I went to Vegas I ended up married. Not that there is the chance of THAT happening LOL. I have a laptop to take with me so I will still be able to post from the road. I can't wait!!

It was six months since my birthday yesterday, six months since I've made love. This, as one of the guys I work with informed me, constitutes a drought LOL. Not that the opportunity hasn't arisen, but the act means too much to me to be frivolous with. I wonder if this makes me a B.A.V. (Born-Again Virgin) LOL. Anyway, not that there is any relevance in this, but I like to share LOL.

I've got to get the laptop configured for travel, and get my golf clubs cleaned up for the trip. And I'm sure there is a million other little things I could be doing to get ready. This trip is going to be cleansing to me. To get away once in a while seems to recharge my soul. And my soul is definitely in need of some serious recharging.

See you when I see you.

Hoppy Easter

Well, it's Easter Sunday, and to celebrate I cleaned my place, did my laundry, and cooked myself a wonderful Easter dinner for one. Found a new music sharing site today, it is called areslite.com so now I can get some of the great music that I've missed since winmx went down.

Speaking about music, another Jeremy Fisher song went from my auto-eliminating song list. "Kiss the Moon" dropped from the list at number 2367. Right now Jim Croce is singing "Rapid Roy That Stock Car Boy" at number 2106. It's still a hell of a way to go until number one.

Cleaned out my e-mail address book today, got rid of all those e-mail addies that I never use anymore. So, if you haven't heard from me for a while, send me an e-mail and maybe (Just maybe, mind you), I'll put you back into circulation and you can receive those annoying e-mails I send out periodically. I also cleaned out my cell phone list of people I never hear from (Yes, this means you!!). So not only are you off my list, I most likely won't be calling you again LOL.

Happy Easter, I hope the bunny was kind to you.

See you when I see you.

Perpendicular Ponderings

It is a grey, hazy, lazy, raining Saturday in the capital city. Nothing much to do, much like the kids in "The Cat in the Hat". "To wet to play ball, so we sat and we sat and did nothing at all" LOL. Did a quick half-day today, and now, nothing. The new arena is supposed to open tonight with Rod Stewart in town, but things are a little behind schedule. I remember seeing Rod in Vancouver about twenty years ago. I went with my girlfriend at the time and we were front row, center stage. She took some amazing pictures of the show, sure wish I would have got some of them.

Although I am not one who usually goes up to the soapbox to start preaching, I mean I believe that everyone has the right to their own opinion, so why try to shove mine down your throat. The attention that the recent right-to-die debate in Florida has garnered has propelled me into giving my take on the matter, once again, only one man's opinion. I believe that as souls which fill the vessel known as the body, it is our inherent right to decide what we would like done in the event we become too incapacitated to tend for ourselves. In other words, if you want to die, you should be allowed to die. To be kept alive by machines, when for all intents and purposes we are already dead, is not really living, is it? To not be functioning, but still be forced to breathe, is not how I would want to be. John Lennon said that dying was like going from one car to the next, the cars being the bodies our souls travel in. If this is truly the case, then by keeping someone alive artificially would be keeping them from changing cars.

Just my humble opinion.

Good Friday

It's Good Friday, an important day in the Christian world, and a day off with pay for everyone else. It is the day which marks the anniversary of the crucifixion of Jesus, so I'm not too sure why it's called "Good" Friday. Wasn't too good for the man, if you ask me.

Took my kids out for lunch in the park on this glorious day. We ate chicken and played tag and stuff out in the sunshine. Work tomorrow, so early to bed.

MMMMM....Beer

Just staggered back inside after beer and an interesting walk home. Beer goggles sure do change the way we view our surroundings LOL.

The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles

The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before.
It always leads me here, lead me to your door.

The wild and windy night, the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way.

Many times I've been alone, and many times I've cried
Anyways you'll never know the many ways I've tried.
But still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door.

One O' Dem Days

Today I've been having one of those days. The day that you just can't seem to get on track. It has been a disjointed, unfocused, walking around in a haze, kind of day. I am going to try to use this sensation to create some words. What follows is an original work, made up as I go along. I hope it don't suck LOL.


I am here, but I'm not really here
I'm so far away though it looks like I'm near.
Like hot air shimmering ahead on the road
Heat pressure building, about to explode
Into nothingness radiates out of my head
Faces come 'round when I sleep in my bed
When I wake still their memory lingers
Peripheral just beyond the tips of my fingers
Fade like the day into senses-dulled haze
Reality check sometimes seems like a phase
There are people I miss as I continue my path
While others stay clear lest they meet with my wrath
I'm Baron, and Terry, but most of all Dad
My kids bring me back when I start feeling bad
Colleen and Josh, you're the children of dreams
The Gods truly blessed me with you two it seems
As I write now the smiles' returned to my face
Their thoughts cleared my head and returned me from space

See you when I see you.

Head Cold

Still feeling the after-effects of my cold. My head is as stuffed up as it can get, but it didn't stop me fro m working today. As much as I felt like staying home, I really needed to be moving in order to keep awake LOL. I'm dopey, and drowsy, and ready to sleep.

See you when I see you.

Big Lebowski

Just as I suspected, my sniffles and stuffy head progressed into a full-blown, nose-plugging, shitty-feeling, stay-at-home type of cold. I've done absolutely nothing today but doze off and on in front of my T.V. LOL. I did watch "The Big Lebowski" with Jeff Bridges in the title role, and some excellent support from John Goodman and Steve Buscemi.


"The Big Lebowski"

The Stranger (Opening Narrative) : Way out west there was this fella I wanna tell ya' about. Goes by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for himself. See, this Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, Dude, there's a name no man would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, like-wise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interesting. See, they call Los Angeles the "City of Angels", but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. 'Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the fella says. But I'll tell ya what, after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd seen in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can with a smile on my face. Without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place in the early nineties - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the eye-rackies. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man. I won't say a hero, 'cause' what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here, the dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man, and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County. Which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man.Well, I lost my train of thought here. But...aw hell. I've done introduced it enough.

Duncan Meadows

Even though it was absolutely pouring and miserable cold out, my friend Steve and I decided it was a good day to drive up to Duncan and golf Duncan Meadows. Though I golfed great, it was still a mistake because now I feel like I've got a bad cold coming on. Hit the ball poker-straight all day and won sixteen of eighteen skins.

Bowling last night was a lot of fun. Especially the nine dollar pitchers of paralyzers that we all drank copious amounts of. The bowling itself was kinda lame, everyone sucked pretty much equally. It was busy, loud, and very drunk there LOL. Ended up partying until two or so, and then fumbling my way across town to my place. The sore head I had when I awoke probably contributed to the way I'm feeling now.

I'm pretty sure tomorrow will be a day to recover, although Krista and Graham wanted to do some nine-hour hike out past Sooke up into the hills. It's four and a half hours each way. As fun as that sounds, I think I'll have to pass in order to recuperate for work on Monday.

Rock N' Bowl

I've been invited to go to Rock N' Bowl tonight at Mayfair Lanes. I'm not too sure of the details, but it sounds like bowling with loud music and alcohol. A wicked combination to be sure! It sounds like fun except for those funny little clown shoes they make you wear. The ones that have sat on thousands of other feet before mine....Nice.

On other fronts, I've been getting a lot of e-mails and IM's about my blog. It seems that there are people out there that are actually reading it!! Thanks for stopping by, and I'll try to make things more interesting for the six of you LOL. For those of you that don't have it, my e-mail is tdavies1966@hotmail.com I'll try to figure out a guestbook one of these days.

After the Gold Rush - Neil Young

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing, and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for a replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun.
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun

March Madness

The first day of the NCAA March Madness basketball spectacular began today with yours truly going 13-3. Not too bad for a white boy from Canada LOL. Sixteen more games tomorrow and hopefully I can keep it up.

Back to the golf course today with a two shot 6-3 victory over Clint. It was an up and down round with my drives being my saving grace once again. My game seems to be coming together with the practice, and the free rounds don't hurt either.

Happy St. Patrick's day!!! I'm not sure what the holiday is about except a reason for Irishmen of the world to drink mid-week.The green beer is definitely something that should not be allowed. Drink, drank, drunk, if that's your thing.

Mr Deeds

After working on a horrible job all day long, we arrived back at the office absolutely gassed. We walked in and the old lady across the street was there, and apparently her landlord just threw all her stuff out over the yard over some money owed. Well, we hopped in our trucks, drove over there, loaded up her things, and got her put away in a storage locker. It was a small gesture for us, but it had an amazing effect on her. She brightened right up, stood up straighter, it was a beautiful sight to see.

My problem with all this is what kind of person throws a little old lady out on the street. Whether or not money is owed shouldn't really be the issue. To be so callous and heartless and still call yourself human is an insult to the rest of us. I hope that when Karma strikes you, that there will be someone around to help you out. Maybe then you will see what an ass you've been.

Anyways, that was my feel good story of the day. Remember, if you see someone who looks like they could use a kind word or gesture, someday they could be you.

Growin' Up

Man, do kids ever grow up fast LOL. I have just spent the better part of this evening chatting online with my daughter. She types faster than I do!!!! LOL. We talked about everything and nothing and it was absolutely fabulous. I love my kids so much, and it makes me so happy when they are happy. It seems like only yesterday that I was up all night rocking a little baby to sleep, and now I just try to stay awake as long as they do LOL.

Father and Daughter - Paul Simon

If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the mountain in the meadow
Where we counted every falling star

I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a golden retriever
And never leave until I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one are two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive it's harshest night

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one are two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you


See you when I see you.

Ball Season

The first ball practice of the year was today. Great weather for sure! Good thing that there is time to work out all the rust LOL.

Scene from "Snatch"


Bullet Tooth Tony: So, you are obviously the big dick. The men on the side of ya are your balls. There are two types of balls. There are big brave balls, and there are little mincey faggot balls.

Vinny: These are your last words, so make them a prayer.

Bullet Tooth Tony: Now, dicks have drive and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell pussy and want a piece of the action. And you thought you smelled some good ol' pussy, and have brought your two small mincey faggot balls along for a good ol' time. But you've got your parties mangled up. There's no pussy here, just a dose that will make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. The fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your gun, and the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle .50" written down the side of mine, should precipitate your balls to shrink along with your presence. Now........Fuck off.

Juan de Fuca

Worked for half a day today, then did a quick nine at Juan de Fuca. It was so nice outside!! T-shirt weather!! Finished tied with Clint when he triple bogied the ninth LOL. Hung out with a couple of buds drinking MGD after that, and now I am home. It was a long and winding road that leads to my door LOL. And now I am going to put my drunk ass into bed.

Golf N' Hoegaarden LOL

Yesterday, after a short day of work, it was off to the golf course with copious amounts of Fireball and Hoegaardens. We managed to get pretty smashed pretty quick. Despite of golfing in an alcoholic haze, I still managed to shoot an 88. Highlight for me was trying to drive the par four ninth, pounding it off some guys balcony, off a tree and right onto the fringe. Can you say "Champ" LOL. Another short day today and then the kids are coming over.

Vancouver

Just got back from a long, long day in White Rock. Man, do I ever hate going over to Vancouver!! Stupid drivers everywhere, traffic, to many fuckin' people, period. I've been all across this great country of ours, and there definitely isn't a place that can beat Victoria. Small enough town with big enough industry. Got to the ferry at 2:00, just in time to catch the seven, LOL. Gotta do something about that ferry line-up. Anyways, it's been a long day so.........

See you when I see you.

Early Morning

Have to catch the first ferry to Vancouver tomorrow, so it's an early to bed night. 7:27 is the new quitting time, this time I am certain, for reasons I will maybe divulge some other day. I went for a long walk, through some of my past haunts tonight. Finished my last one coming down the hill from Pine, and left the roach to the "Other" in the earth across the street, while on the phone. Finis.

Universal Questions of Scientific Import

Today, during the course of my work day, I happened to go by an ex-girlfriend on the street. We didn't make eye contact, and I'm pretty sure she never even saw me. My question, which I have been mulling over throughout the day is this, "We pass by people all day every day. Some of them we may meet later in life, but for the time being they are in consequential. Now, through fate, we meet this person, fall in love, spend an indeterminable time together, no longer see each other for whatever reason, and go on living our lives. Why when I saw her did I feel a longing for someone who I associate more with hurt than happiness? Someone who just a little over a year ago was one of those people I pass by every day. I'm sure we passed at some point before we met because her workplace is right next to McDonalds LOL.

Anyways, I just needed to let that loose. I've been a bit melancholy all evening. The music countdown is now at 2557, and fittingly for tonight, John Mellencamp's "Lonely 'Ol Night" is playing.

Lonely 'Ol Night - John Mellencamp

She calls me up and says baby it's a lonely 'ol night
I don't know I'm just so lonely and scared all at the same time
Nobody told us it was gonna work out this way no, no, no, no, no
I guess they knew we'd work it out in our own way

It's a lonely 'ol night
Can I put my arms around you
It's a lonely 'ol night
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you

Radio playing softly some singer's sad, sad song
He's singing about standing in the shadows of love
I guess he feels awfully alone
She says I know exactly what he means yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And it's a sad, sad feeling when you're living on those in-betweens
But it's okay

It's a lonely 'ol night
Can I put my arms around you
It's a lonely 'ol night
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you

She calls me baby, she calls everybody baby
It's a lonely 'ol night but ain't they all

It's a lonely 'ol night
Can I put my arms around you
It's a lonely 'ol night
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you

Nothin' Much 2 Say

My 'Net was down for a while earlier, so I had to wait to write that I had nothing to write about. Scored some good coin today delivering Costco beds. Tomorrow it's time to move the Conservatory of Music library. Should be a whole lot of fun .

On the music elimination front, it's currently at 2610 songs. Out of the ones I picked, "I Don't Wanna Know" came in at 2739, and "Jolly Rodger", by Jeremy Fisher came in at 2630. The song on right now is "Home By The Sea", by Genesis.

Yada Yada Yada

Nothing much going on today on Planet Terry. Went for a hike around Colquitz Creek, so needless to say the weed waited until now to be quit. As a matter of fact, I just interrupted this post to go smoke the last bit. Now I am done. I've got a boring evening of sweet fuck all planned.

See you when I see you.

Endings & Beginnings

I didn't post yesterday because of the Crown & Coke, LOL, that's my story....And I'm stickin' to it. Went to the GP for a bit, played some pool, drank more than a few drinks, LOL. Went to Kelly and Shawn's house and played Trivial Pursuit, drank more beer, and listened to tunes. I left to walk home around ten, and managed to stagger to my place by midnight, LOL.

Went golfing today with Clint and Tim at Arbutus Ridge, and golfed the absolute shits. I can count on one hand the number of good shots I hit all day, my head just wasn't in the game. I didn't even break 100 LOL. No birdies, and only a couple of pars.

I have decided today is a good a day as any to quit my remaining vice, smoking weed. I had some personal stuff to work my way through the last half year or so, and it has helped me to cope with things. Now I think the time has come to reclaim that which is mine and comes from within me. I've had some trouble dealing with the issues at hand, but now I know what I've got to do. So, tonight at the witching hour, or sometime there abouts, I will remove the final obstacle to my fulfilling my potential.

Today is also an anniversary of sorts. It was one year ago today that I first saw Jeremy Fisher play live, at the Spiral Cafe. I was on an Internet date, one which you'll know all about if you know me at all. It was both the beginning and the ending of something beautiful. I have many memories which I will, over the course of time, remember fondly. And, it introduced me to a fabulous talent in Jeremy, who I've seen numerous times since.

The music playlist is now at 2738 songs with Good Charlotte's "Boys and Girls" currently playing.

Boys and Girls - Good Charlotte

Educated with money
He's well dressed not funny
And not much to say in most conversations
But he'll foot the bills in all situations
'Cause he pays for everything

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny

Paper or plastic,
Don't matter she'll have it
Vacations and shopping sprees these are a few of her favorite things
She'll get what she wants if she's willing to please
His type of girl always comes with a fee
Hey now there's nothing for free

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys, like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

Lets Go!

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys, like these boys like these girls
The girls with bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

All of these boys, and all of these girls
Are losing their souls to a material world.


See you when I see you.

Last Minute

I worked late, and I've really got nothing to say tonight anyway. The day off tomorrow, so I'm going to try to start a new day off tomorrow.

See you when I see you.

Viva Las Vegas

Looks like a trip to Vegas, Phoenix, and San Diego is in the works for month end. Haven't been down since December so it will be nice to get away. San Diego is one of my favorite American cities, and I'll be sure to bring my golf clubs too. I'm doing "the nod" as I sit in front of the keyboard, so........


See you when I see you.

Elimination

I have set up a music playlist with 3200 mp3's, set to eliminate each one as it plays. It is currently on 2838. I have chosen an artist (Jeremy Fisher 5 songs), an album (Fleetwood Mac - Rumors 11 songs), and a song (Riverboat Fantasy - David Wilcox) and I am going to see how long it takes for them to be eliminated. So far none of them has come up, although I've seen them on the 40 song screen. The song currently playing is "Dig A Pony" by The Beatles.

Dig A Pony - The Beatles

I dig a pony
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Ooh.
I do a road hog
Well you can penetrate any place you go
Yes you can penetrate any place you go
Everything has got to be just like you want it to
Because

I pick a moon dog
Well you can radiate everything you are
Yes you can radiate everything you are
Ooh.
I roll a stoney
Well you can imitate everyone you know
Yes you can imitate everyone you know
I told you, all I want is you
Everything has got to be just like you want it to
Because

I feel the wind blow
Well you can indicate everything you see
Yes you can indicate everything you see
Ooh.
I dug a pony
Well you can syndicate any boat you row
Yes you can syndicate any boat you row
I told you, all I want is you
Everything has got to be just like you want it to
Because


See you when I see you.

Salmon Kings

Went and watched the Victoria Salmon Kings get beat on by the Las Vegas Wranglers tonight 5-2 at Bear Mountain Arena. It was like seeing the Bad News Bears and the Charleston Chiefs all wrapped into one. That team is B-A-D- bad. You would think that the fundamentals of hockey would have been instilled by now, but it was like watching a bunch of kids throw the puck around. Horrible, horrible hockey, and once the novelty wears off, desolate arenas.

See you when I see you.
