Yeah, I know, its been five days since I posted... But you all know how summmer is. It's been almost a non-stop party for me. Going to the Kingshead, various house parties, hitting the beach... ahh I love summer! Well anyways... It's been fun, but back to work.
Half of the reason I have not been writing the past few days is that I have been plagued by a lack of sleep. First off, I have been out late almost every night so far this vacation. Second, I now have a dove that has taken up the rather annoying habit of buiding a nest on an eave over my bedroom window, to which he takes trips to the ground to get twigs to build the nest. To all of those who are not bird-experts, the mourning dove makes a sort of "fweep-fweep" sound when it flaps its wings, almost similar to the sound of a fat man wearing courdorouy pants while jogging. So I have taken things into my own hands by blasting my stereo at insane volumes trying to drive them away. I think it may be working, I wouldn't want to have to go borrow a high powered air rifle...
Well summer weather is definately raging, and so is my mom's penchant for annoying the hell out of me. As my close friends know all to well, my mother is a grade "A" pest at times. She seems to turn it up a notch when summer comes. It's like a mental chemistry that kicks in when the pleasant high pressure systems bring the warm weather to our area... Her OCD kicks into overdrive, and anything in this house that is not clean sets off a signal in her head wherever she is and drives her slowly out of her mind until it is taken care of. Kind of like a really anal-retentive version of Spider Senses. Add to this that my room currently looks like a recording studio with my guitars, stacks of sheet music and lyric sheets and guitar picks stewn about, and we have the making of an all out war...
Well, I am now headed off to the pool to catch some rays and workout a little.... I have a while to go before I am back in shape... Ohh well :)
Here is your LINK OF THE DAY! In honor of summer... here is a music video you oughta like.
EVERCLEAR - "AM Radio", video done by CampChaos.com
I hope you are all old enough to catch all those 70's references... I'm not, but I know a lot of them from living in Wisconsin, which is for all intents and purposes stuck in the 70's forever... Till next time... Peace...

Ahh, it is a beautiful morning in San Jose, so of course I am indoors writing this. Temporary condition, I assure you...
Yesterday rocked. I got to sleep in, relax in the morning and just take it easy. It was such a gorgeous day, I decided to take a drive over the mountians to Santa Cruz and have lunch with Emily. For those who don't know her, she is one of my best friends and is also the lead singer for my band. It was great to see her. She has a great way of putting shit into perspective when you talk to her, which is a rare quality in people. The weather was gorgeous, and I got a little sun, so I am already starting to tan a bit. On the way back from Santa Cruz, I picked up a student/hitchhiker on the UCSC campus. (Hitching is a common thing on campus since few people have cars. Most will hitch from campus to downtown Santa Cruz. I usually give one a lift downtown just for karma's sake.) His name was Chris (I think, I suck with names. Dude, if you read this, I hope I got your name right.) He has this band called ITSAWHALE which is playing at the Aptos Club in Aptos on Saturday the 24th. Check it out. The address is 7941 Soquel Drive. It's 21+, so I can't go, but if you live down there be sure you do! That dude was wearing Johnny Knoxville glasses and his flyer he gave me for the show has the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man on it, so this band must be the shit... Like I told him, if you put Stay-Puff or Chunk from the Goonies on your flyer, you will automatically pack the joint... Anyways...
I am happy to say that I will not be working for that asshole manager of mine anymore. I got a transfer to another store. Only problem is now I won't be able to get any writing material from his stupid antics. Ohh well, I do have one more for ya!
Yesterday, one of our shift managers was working. His name is John, and as he will admit, he is a bit of a flirt. Only problem is that John is like 35 years old, so some say he has a touch of the creepy on him. I think he's cool, youre never to old to dash a little charm on, in good taste. Evidently, there is a customer who he always talks to, and she told him to write "sexy" on her cup, (in case you are living in a hole, I work for Starbucks.) Arvind, the manager said that it was lude and yelled at him. Now, this is the same Arvind who says I can't wear my metal studded belt to work, or use slang with customers... You know what I say Arvind? Yall can shove your 'tude up your cornhole, buuuuuuuuuuuuddy! Ill admit, I am going to miss a lot of peeps from the store. Becca who is way too gullible for her own good, but thats another story for another day. She rocks though.... Ron the Filipino lady killer, Emily who I swear I cannot picture ever being angry, Yolanda and her quiet sass, Kevin being Kevin... and everyone else. Ohh well, new store, new people..... Yay for change.
Well, since it has been awhile, I am gonna give you The Daily Farmer's first TRIPLE SHOT LINK OF THE DAY! BATTER UP!
First off, support your local scene dammit!
BayAreaSka.com
Second, you think you're hot?... or ugly? Prove it... and while your at it, tell other people that they are hideous, or ask em for pizza and a f***... What? You don't like pizza?
Hot or Not?
Third, since school is out, I am feeling withdrawls from the lack of quizzes, so here, again from THESPARK is a series of quizzes, I bet you have seen them before, but now you can go on and see what I scored by putting my email, thedailyfarmer@msn.com, in the "see your friends results" pages of the quizzes that support that feature.
The Spark!!!
Well that does it for me. I need eye drops, there is something blooming around here and my eyes are almost like Gimpy's from the cartoon "Undergrads". Wow, four links..... new record... Peace...

The sun is up, and I finally am as well. I have Less Than Jake's new album Anthem blasting in the background, and I bet it will come as a shock, but its really not all that bad. I guess I stand corrected, somewhat. It is still poppy in some spots, and it is far from the vintage LTJ of the 90's. Ohh well, can't do anything about it.
Today is going to be an interesting day. I will be riding around in a different car as "my car" for the first time in almost three years. In that time, I have been faithfully served by a black 1989 Ford Escort LX named Dolly. (If you really wanna know the story behind that name, email me.) Now I know that all of you must have a connection with your car, so I am not THAT weird. Well, I have to make this one short, I have a ton to do today. But I will write a doozy of a post for you all tomorrow. Peace....
