Home Improvement vs. MySpace Addiction

So, losing my job midway through the kitchen remodel really sucked major dick, since I only had enough money put away to install the new counters.  That’s finally done, but now I have to do all the cabinet refinishing myself.  I was originally going to strip the old cabinets and then stain them and the new cabinets so they’d all match.  After spending 4 days stripping and sanding, I was able to actually stain 2 doors—and not only did they look like SHIT, but I couldn’t even get them to match each other, which didn’t bode well for matching them to the NEW cabinets.  So, onto Plan B:  Faux finishing everything.  It’s definitely not easy, but I’m starting to have fun with it now that I’ve done a couple of doors and they came out pretty good.  Once it’s all done, I’ll get a gallery of pictures up.

A while back, I created a MySpace Page but I just recently started adding friends and whatnot, at the behest of The Infidel Guy, to help him get new members and get the word out about his show and Free Thought Media.  Darwin help me, I’m fuckin’ hooked!  I’ve found several people I haven’t seen for years and years, and have found some really cool new people that have become friends (MySpace friends that is) too.  Including one of my heroes, George Carlin!  I find myself checking for new friend requests or messages in between coats of primer, paint or glaze; and I spend altogether too much time going off on tangents by clicking on other people’s friends, which leads me to other people and their friends… and so it goes!  I really need a clone of my own so I can be everywhere I need to be all at one time!

Now, here’s a plug for one of my newest buddies on MySpace, Jesse Blaze and his band BLAZED.  I’m not just biased because Jesse’s the son of my all-time favorite front man, Dee Snider… the band truly kicks ass!  I liked their songs enough to order the CD, and I’m hoping they’ll play a gig out here one of these days because I’d really like to see them live.

OK, back to Home Improvement Hell!
