Just some new stuff

Well, I went to the doctor today, and everything is still cool as far as the whole cancer thing. Praise the Lord!! Doc pretty much told me that I'm in the clear.

Since I have updated last, I have lost a coupla of my biggest musical influences, Doug Riley, and Anthony Burger. Doug was THE main reason I started playing the drums. We worked with Gold City not long after I joined the DE's, and I stood backstage while they were playing, and I was watching him the whole time. He looked like he was having the time of his life, and I wanted to do the same thing. So I got the Gold City 10th Anniversary cassette, and when I got home that week, I dragged out the old drumkit that was packed up in dads studio, and started bangin' away with that tape. Doug was my drum teacher, and didn't even know it.

Anthony always amazed me with his showmanship, and unbelievable ability to make a song FEEL good. He was the first piano player that made me say "wow" whenever he did one of those blisteringly fast instrumentals. Not to mention the fact that he was just a really nice guy. I remember at NQC one year, I was just passing by his booth, and just stopped to look at a cd, and he saw me, and he said, " Hey Scooter,which one of those do you not have?" I said, "Well, none of 'em actually." So he gave me all 4 of his cd's without even thinking about it. I'll miss Doug and Anthony greatly.

On another subject....I think McDonalds should seriously stop hiring complete idiots!! I went to one in a Walmart in FL, and ordered my usual plain burger. Lo and behold I got it out to the bus, and it had everything on it. So I take it back in there, and tell the lady at the counter that it was supposed to be PLAIN. So she turns and tells the guy puttin the burgers together that it's supposed to be PLAIN, just MEAT and BREAD. So he puts the meat on the bun...and for some unknown reason...he starts putting mayo all over it. After the woman just said "Meat and Bread ONLY" that genius starts spreadin' that junk on there. I guess it's safe to say, that guy is a coupla mcnuggets short of a happy meal. :o)

Super Bowl predictions

Much to the dismay of my buddy LB, I'm pulling for the Steelers in the Super Bowl. Dont get me wrong, I like the Seahawks. I dont think they can hang with Pitt's defense though. They use a 3/4 setup like the Cowboys, and they had some major problems with them. I think Jerome Bettis is gonna get that ring, and it's well deserved. My guess...

Pittsburgh--24

Seattle-- 13



I just wish they wouldnt have this stupid bye week before the game. Gives everybody enough time to get outta sync. hehe.

Happy New Year!

2006....Hard to believe, huh? I'm sure I'll be writing 05 on my checks for at least a month. hehe. Christmas was great. It was nice to have a little time off from the road, but I was ready to go back when we did. We're gearing up for a big year with the group. Our schedule is filling up faster than it ever has, and our TV show starts airing this Sunday.

Today is a happy day for me, and all the rest of the 12 New Orleans Saints fans across the south. Head coach, Jim Haslett, has been fired!! I was really excited.....until I started thinking about it.
Sure, it all starts with the head coach, but then you have the general manager who brings all the players in. Well, at least our GM knows SQUAT about football. I mean the dude was a number cruncher, and the semi-retarded owner promoted him to GM. Now, Im sure most of the coaching staff will be gone, and whoever they get will bring his own guys in. What if the new coach is worse than the last one? What if he brings all his rejects in? What if he looks at the QB, and says "Wow, that guy is awesome"? Just to let you know, our QB......not awesome. Im sure things will be worse before they're better, but it can't possibly get much worse. :o) If we had a new owner, GM, head coach and coaching staff, QB, receiving corps, offensive line, halfback, fullback, secondary, defensive line, linebackers, kicker, waterboy, equipment guy, and cheerleaders, then maybe next year we could win 1 or 2 games. Keep the towel guy, he shows some promise.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Thats right, I said Merry Christmas! None of this happy holidays bidness. Ya'll be sure when you're shopping and the clerk says "happy holidays" give 'em a big ol' "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" in return. If you haven't noticed, I wont ever be caught being very politically correct.......It's been such a good week for me. On Monday, I got to spend all day with Samantha, and it was just awesome. We went to eat, and then we did the most romantic thing I could think of....we went to a giant thrift store and looked for old gospel records. haha! Tuesday, I finished all my Christmas shopping, which is strange for me. I usually wait til oh, about, Christmas eve to finish. Wednsday I went to lunch with some of the Florida Boys, and after that I went to the Sports Authority store to just look around a little. Lo and behold, my Christmas present to myself jumped out at me. An 8 foot pool table was sittin there in the doorway with my name written all over it. Now, I drive a Trans Am. Cant really haul an 8 foot pool table in that. So I had the bright idea to borrow my grandpa's truck. So I get in, put the keys in, try to crank it, and it wouldnt do squat! Well, After a minute I figured out why she wouldn't crank. It was a stickshift. I had no idea. Now, I've driven a stick before, but it weren't too purty! So I recruited my ol' buddy ol' pal T Money to drive me around. Once me, him, and dad got it all built, I really hated to take T to school in a 2 outta 3 game. Oh well, maybe next time T..............Life Is Good!

I like video games, but for cryin' out loud.....

I am into everything electronic. Computers, video games, mp3 players, whatever. I could seriously spend hours in Best Buy just messin' around with all the stuff in there. Now, I really thought I was the biggest geek on the face of the planet. That was until I happened to be in Wal- Mart about midnight last night, and saw a huge line of people in line in the electronics department. Well, I DID know that the new Xbox 360 was coming out the next day, but I never thought it was gonna be such a big deal. I went to one Walmart, (we have 3 Supercenters) and I heard the lady say over the intercom, "We have sold out of the Xbox 360. Sorry for the inconvenience." I just happened to be standing beside a guy who I overheard tell his wife, "Dang, Ive been here since 11, and they never even brought 'em out here!" So , I got curious if it was like this at another store, so off I went. I got inside, and there was a bigger line at that one than the one before. Only this time, They actually had the systems out by the registers. One catch, you had to have a voucher slip if ya' wanted to get one. The guy who was kinda working as a security guard told me that there were some people that had been in there since 10 that morning! And I thought I was and idiot. hehe. Wouldn't it be nice if folks would line up for Gospel concerts like that?
