AC/DC Cover Band, I Don’t Give a Shit, Ornery-Con, Como-Sexuals

Good morning, how are you? I’m fine, thank you for your interest.  I got nine hours of sleep last night; the only problem was I didn’t get to bed until midnight.  But I slept great, woke up and hydrated, made some Death Wish Coffee, and now would like to share some thoughts and ideas from a man identifying as Moulin Rouge.

We had a nice calm day yesterday.  We got up, did some chores around the house, wrestled, and then took our pup on a walk. Finally, we arrived home, making dinner reservations with our friends Nate and Sarah.  We had tickets to an AC/DC tribute band at the Vogue; more about that later.  

I caught a Metallica Video on Youtube; it was titled Metallica does not give a shit. So I thought this might be interesting, and it was.  James, the lead singer, shared his band does not give a shit.  They don’t care about your color, who you voted for if you are straight or gay, they love their fans no matter their ideology. So I thought, how refreshing, I’ll add to that sentiment; in addition to the above, I ask that all be kind and contribute to society as best they can.  We are all not equal; we all have different gifts, figure out your skills and give as much as possible to humanity.

Before dinner, we lazily laid around the house and watched a four-hour documentary on a serial killer.  Wholesome family fun, before getting ready and getting an UBER to take us to our first stop Delicia a fusion restaurant that starts with fission.  The food was excellent, as were the drinks; Nate had his Tesla Cyber Truck, and so we all piled in and headed to the show. 

We got a table upstairs, we could see the stage, but a monitor showed the scene in front of our table.  The first band was Mammoth Tooth; they rocked some KISS and other rock from the ’80s and ’90s. Check them out here:

The next band, the headliner, was called ThunderStruck, and it was a cover band playing only AC/DC songs.  I’m a fan of cover bands; they do their best and sometimes sound better than the original.  We caught Brit Floyd at Red Rocks this year, and it was the second-best show of the year.  To check out last nights band, click here:

We got home about 11:30, watched some Squid show on Netflix, and went to bed.  That is the latest I’ve stayed up since last Saturday night when we made it to 3:00 after the wedding.  I’m usually in bed at 9:00 every night, so these late nights have been a little unusual, but it’s been fun.

Today, it’s Cousin’s return; he’s got some wine, he will hang out for a spell working from here.  I think we will go to the Dugout to get lunch and watch a game before returning home; my Queen will cook some magical vittles, and we will prepare for another great week of closing out our year.  When in Colorado, we hang out at Brooks Place Tavern.  When in Indy, the Dugout is located .2 miles from our front door.  It’s voted Indy’s Number One Dive Bar, but that is changing; they are making a massive investment in the property, it’s going to be a campus of entertainment by spring.  Check it out here:

Happy Sunday; enjoy this day of rest and if you are working, give it your all.  It’s refreshing to find someone in society that enjoys their work. But, you can always know when someone is just there for a paycheck and those that lean into their vocation and stand out. So, be one that stands out today or this week.  Be proactive; if you sweep floors, do so with a smile.  If you work in a service industry, do it with a smile and if you are an office person, keep your energy level above a 7.    

Be careful and don’t catch that new variant.  I think it’s called “ornery-con,” it’s a big story in the media.  According to reports, it’s akin to a cold, so use the Joe Rogan cocktail and get better in a day if you get it.  I found it interesting that people got mad at Dana White for calling his friend and getting better in a day after testing positive for COVID.  We are now in a time when people get angry when people get well.  Think about that: people are mad because Dana called someone who had a medical doctor prescribe a battery of meds that helped him beat COVID in one day.  I should also share that Dana was double vaxed, not that it should matter, but I know some folks that are falling for this ornery con, and I don’t want to trigger.

It’s an exciting time to be a human on this spinning rock. Unfortunately, right is left, up is down, and two of the biggest stars of 2020 have lost their jobs. I’m speaking of the Como-sexuals.  Those boys went from hero’s to zero’s not for one brother’s mass extinction of older folks; both liked to grab ass.  You can kill the elderly, but “times up” when you are a pig!  I fully expect a meme of the brothers trashing 45 and him, in the end, saying, “you’re fired.”  Notice I said 45 and not the name; again, no triggers this morning.

It’s odd that we still have to wear a mask when taking an UBER.  Yesterday at our neighborhood football stadium, 70,000 fans of Michigan watched their team butcher Iowa in the Big Ten Championship.  70,000 cheering, spitting, rooting, yelling humans, but when I get into a car, I must still wear a mask?  I get the confined space concepts, but come on, is it possible the con is up?
