Wow...with the world cringing from the onset of a pandemic...fortunes, however large or insignificant they might be, facing decimation to one degree or another...grotesque politics buzzing in our ears like a diabolical tinnitus, that super moon last night was...well... just super. I thought how brightly it shone, like a beacon of hope at a dark time. But then, I thought about Kershaw possibly pitching opening day, and then brought immediately back to the miserable existence here on earth. Damn, if it wasn't for that goddam Clayton, it would have been pretty good.
Tame always delivers. First time I saw them I was coked out of my mind. Seen em twice since. Wish I was going to the forum shows but I’d have to sell my soul for good tickets.
ive been trying to see them for years but just can't do the coachella thing thats a young mans game plus i just really wanted to see them play a full set going to try to go tomorrow since that drive was like 5 hours in the rain today and i just got home see section 128 row 13 for $215ea tonight so i'm going to try and get the coronavirus deal tomorrow morning definitely a lot of money but not the $500GA tickets i see listed was on the floor just to the right of the stage last night and it was very cool but i just want to get in the building basically the way they backlight themselves makes it all about the music anyway
I have a flight/trip to Vegas scheduled for the end of the month. I probably shouldn’t be super confident about this going well should I?
hard to say but they aren't going to shut down vegas if you can cancel and make new reservations its probably half price on everything also sb a lot more fun w less people idk the night i spent at pechanga on sunday was absolutely packed at every table
well they aren't exactly apologetic at this point https://www.silverdoctors.com/headl...fall-into-the-hell-of-a-coronavirus-epidemic/
I'm w you on this but fuck shopping for toilet paper in the rain. My school has to have paper and so I'm now a daily hunter since I have no choice. Guess I went to one of the last events for a while in LA last night. What I hate the most is the lack of civility I'm starting to see. Like pushing children out of the way to get to food. Scary to imagine what an actual event would look like. People suck
its going to be interesting to see if we are forced to shut down our school all the parents are hard working people and entirely reasonable but i live in LA CA so anything is possible can't have a gathering over 50 people and yet every store i went to today had 100 people just in the lines going to talk to the teachers tomorrow and hopefully assuage their fears also not taking chances w mom after two shows in 3 days w 20k plus people not to mention chasing paper stuff all day what planet do i live on?
The fitter and healthier a person is the greater chance of being a carrier of a souped up corona. Half the corona deaths come from people with high blood pressure complications that kills you when your lungs get too clogged. Pneumonia is the usual cause of death. My dad is in the hospital with congestive heart failure and pneumonia. They don't know if he has covid yet. They will probably put him under and stick a needle in one of his lungs to remove the fluid as it's almost full. They can't right now because his pressure is out of control and he won't make it. He already has stents and pacemaker. Kidneys are going bad fast due to the water retention and has been told he is not a candidate for a new heart. They don't think he can take more surgeries. He has a bunch already and they taken out organs and all kinds of shit. Why im always glib. I don't like to share. So I talk a lot of shit instead. But when others share with me I can't share back. I'm stingy that way with my shares. Once every few years I'll txt or talk to some old friend from youth who moved away decades ago and share a little. Probably knowing that I don't have to see them or they see or talk to anyone I might know. I don't do this consciously. Just happens. I'm usually the person on the other end. People share with me. All kinds of things. After someone gives me their burden I'm like... How could I share my burden with them with all that they are going through? That thought always cripples me. I should get a placard. Thanks to huh? and the rest of you braver souls than I... I am sharing a little bit again. Your examples embolden me to think it's not so bad to share. Sharing gives me feelings of dread. But not tonight. Probably because I have to do something about it now. Sharing may help me with that. If I didn't believe so I probably would not be posting this right now. This was gonna just be a post about what nurses say about the disease. Then I started thinking about dad. We have never probably had a real conversation. Well other than talking about the western on his tv when I would go visit. But then again I'm the same way. With my own kind of western. I am updated on his situation daily by his wife. But we really don't talk. I think he feels weird about it and so do I. Then my back twinged in that familiar way and I started talking about myself. And went on and on as I tend to do. Before the dread and some sort of shame associated with talking about myself sunk in. But it passed quickly because I remembered the previous times I've posted something personal like this only to turn around and hard delete it seconds later. But fuck it.
Difficult watching a loved one suffer. My father typically took a nap before he and my mother attended Sat evening Mass. He was only 71 when he took his final nap in 1996. Way too soon, but at least he didn't suffer like his best friend (and brother) did six months before with the fucking cancer. Thoughts and prayer with you.
Went to a Graham Nash concert last night. Locally in a 600 seat theatre. It was sold out long ago, but maybe 2/3 full at showtime. We sat in a row with no one else in it. His tour was cancelled after last night, so they were really thankful for the people that did show, and did 3 extra songs they were working on, since they had no chance after this show to try them out. Just three guys on stage, it showed how music can sound with musicians who really know their craft can do. The lead guitarist was with Sprinsteen and Sting...just wonderful. He picked twotop pro guys who when they harmonized with him, were as close to that unforgettable CSN sound as humanly possible. Nash' voice is as good as it ever was, his first tenor as powerful and perfect at 78 as it was at 22. Really astonishingly in tact, hard to fathom how it is not diminished at all. He sang for almost 2 1/2 hours. When he did Love the One You're With, Our House, Teach Your Children Well, and Ohio, it became more than just a music performance for me...it left me with a nostalgic lump in my throat. Nice experience. Absolutely one of the best I've ever seen, hands down.
These times come to us all, but that fact lessens no aspect of them when they do. Hope you, and most importantly, he, find the strength you need to deal with this all.
i lost my mom 9 years ago at the age of 90 she passed on the same day as duke snider congestive heart failure took her, and she suffered from dementia at the end hurt me badly and irreparably dad made it 5 years longer and was sharp as a tack til the day he passed they were great parents and i was very close with both of them i understand death is a part of life, but that doesn't mean i have to like it the other day the wife and i were driving home and were re-routed due to some detour looked on the local news and learned it was because a kid had been hit by a truck that had jumped the curb the next day we found out it was our neighbor's grandson he's in a coma poor innocent kid in the wrong place at the wrong time it just sucks that bad things sometimes happen to good people my faith has never wavered but there have definitely been times when i've asked "why?" there's no handbook for how to deal with bad stuff it's obviously very personal and very different for everyone i chose to drink heavily when my mom passed, and again when dad followed her probably not the wisest thing to do, but it most definitely helped get me through those tough times not something i'm proud of, and i think diablo's the only one here who knew but since you all shared, i thought i'd do the same
and if i never come back tell my mother i'm sorry don't know how the whole free world doesn't love this music the show is as good as any pink floyd show and you can dance from the LA show
Its good music. Now I wanna go to the show too. My nephews even like it. And their pants are halfway down their crack!
