Profile for April:
I live in the Chicago area. I don't think America is the best thing ever, OK?! I despise George W. Bush.
I love horses and good wine, have 10 cats and a real nice garden. I restore prairies in my spare time.
I play bass and sing with my band. I have a boring job with nasty bosses.
I used to live in a neighborhood full of chavs. You know, the cell phones, the shitty $300 boom cars with $10,000 steros, the bling, the guns, the pit bulls...all of it. Only in America they're called the Latin Kings or Gangster Disciples.

» Out of my depth
Out of my depth...
Was sitting 'round in my favorite saloon. Talking to some friends about the Great Janet Jackson Titty Incident that had happened the week before, at "te" Superbowl half time.
I allowed that it was not such a big deal. My friends hotly debated that it was a big deal..Janet's titty was obscene! The Nipple! She SHOWED HER NIPPLE!~ And it was an ADORNED NIPPLE! Oh, Mother of Jesus!
I know for a fact that these above mentioned are uptight, yuppie people, and ALL of their children had been breastfed...so a titty is obscene only when it DOESN'T have a baby attached to it? Some of my friend's children are old enough to ASK, in plain English, to be breastfed. And they are obliged. Which creeps me out entirely.
The argument progressed from there...and I sucked back a good draught of cheap bar wine, went down the wrong pipe...I started violently coughing (and peeing..i have Multiple Sclerosis and my bladder is very weak) I made really good points..but hoped they didn't notice my little "problem."
So, here I am, peeing myself, coughing,and and having an unpopular opinion(all three big no-no's in Amurrica)...and trying to make points for a woman who showed little Johnny her bare-ass nippy.
It's FUN being a statistical outlier! April

1/2 of a guitar
smashed by pete townshend. It's a Gibson SG, a '68, as far as I can tell. Smashed at the Isle of Wight festival about '70 or '71. Guitar pick from Eric Clapton from the Slowhand tour. A prototype of some fender guitar that never made it into production, which is a drag, because it sounds great! Too bad for Fender, hooray for me! Got it for $50. Rick Neilsen guitar pick from some indeterminate Cheap Trick tour. I used to go see Cheap Trick at bars on Rush street when I was 16...circa their first and second albums. We'd give them jars of hair, and our un-dying love. Rick would spit at us, the spack. His aim was poor and he liked gifts. Simple. Yet sublime.
A signed, first edition of Bambi.

» Evidence that you're getting old
Getting Old
Well, I've always had a profound interest in gardening...since I was 5...so that's not it.
It's the aforementioned facts that it takes a day (or so) for a hangover to go away, and when I bend over to tie shoelaces, or I get out of my car, I make bunches of noises. You are NOT allowed to make these noises until you're 35, at least.
Mostly, what makes me feel old and distressed is living in America, with the government we have right now, and the standard of living I'm "supposed" to have at my age. Affluenza. Keeping up with the Joneses, and I don't even try because it's useless and stupid. I'm serious. April

Premonition?
When I was about 35 or so I had an airplane crash dream. I dreamt that an American Airlines 727 had crash landed in Denver, Colorado due to bad weather...it was very vivid...I saw the plane skidding, sparking and landing on it's belly, the chaos inside the plane, the people coming down the chutes after it had stopped.
sure enough, a week later, in Denver, Colorado....727 crash landed. American Airlines. Haven't been on a plane since!
