Have you ever eaten an apricot Kolacky? Throw a little Blue Bonnet margarine on there and man, you really got somethin'. ' ' Hi, my name is Al, and I have finally relented and activated a myspace page. Two years ago, I played some shows on guitar with the amazing Mark Mallman and the other band members convinced me that I just had to do this. Besides, I figure 948 million people can't be wrong. Yes, I play guitar. In addition to Mallman, I've spent the last 7 years playing with Minneapolis bands (in order) The Odd, Short Fuses, and Faux Jean. ' Playing guitar is neat. ' ' I work as a restaraunt barkeep and backstage caterer to live. I'm also trying to come up with an invention. Maybe something to help make the American housewife's life a little easier, like a modern day egg beater, or vegamatic or something''''' I Love kids. I think there's nothing more adorable than a baby who just learned how to walk. I love county fairs. I love the smell of freshly laid tar in the summertime. I love traveling. I love meeting people from other countries who speak better English than some of my friends. I love my siblings. I love my siblings' children. ' ' Ya wanna know what makes me so damn interesting? I once pulled a muscle in my leg taking a leak. Ya wanna know what makes me so damn UN-interesting? I really believe that pulling a muscle while taking a leak is interesting.I also love late night slices of pizza. I love whole pizzas too. I've NEVER met a pizza I didn't like. Never. Yes, even frozen Jenos. I love buffets. I could go to Las Vegas and just do nothing but eat at the buffets the entire time. Someday I will. I love all my memories of my childhood-even the traumatic ones. I love the feeling you get after working 16 hours a day, three days in a row. I love being able to play my guitar really loud at a show. I love when old people smile at me in passing. I love long train rides. I love taking long drives by myself with the radio off. I love sleeping with my windows open on a windy night. I love the program button on my coffee maker, and waking to the coffee maker before my alarm goes off. I love Marathon bars, Bubs Daddy bubble gum, marshmallow Peeps, and Whacky Wafers. When I was a kid, there was nothing more exciting than opening a pack of baseball cards. I think that the first person who put their chocolate bar in someone's jar of peanut butter was a friggin' genius. I love the memory of my dad spinning yarns about baseball players in lieu of reading me bedtime stories. I think that we really did learn everything we need in kindergarten.... except for how to drive, how to arrange a netflix queue, and understanding genetic contribution to behavioral patterns in females.... Speaking of females, I've never met a female Virgo that I didn't totally get along with, though for some reason I've dated very few Virgos ...... Ok, ...(ahem)...Hate. What do I hate? I hate dishonesty. I hate college students who haven't evolved past the 8th grade. I hate shit-hop music. I hate the fact that so many people respond to sincerity like it's some sort of disease. I hate the fact that every time I travel alone I always end up wishing someone was with me. I hate how cell phones have turned 75% of the population into idiots. I hate the Chicago White Sox. '' ' Oh, and I hate myself for loving you..... ' '' ' 'Up until about six months ago, nobody poked more fun at MySpace than me. Now, I routinely find myself scrolling along my friends and realize that the only person "online now" is me. Is this a blog? I still don't know what the hell a blog is. It's a stupid sounding word. I do know that.
