Oh No Not Stereo!!

Every once in a while there’s a band that comes along and “wow’s” me to the point where I have no problem shamelessly promoting them.

I found this band while randomly searching on MySpace for some new artists, like I do, and ended up hearing a couple of the songs and going “Hm, this isn’t half bad.” So, me being me, I messaged them (not expecting a response) just telling them that I appreciated the music, and I thought it was really good. Well, much to my surprise, I got a response back from Sky, who’s the vocalist/guitarist/everything-ist for the band

Stroller Hit By Train, Baby Survives

Um, I’m pretty sure I’d wet myself if I was the mother/father of this child. Thank God everyone ends up ok.

Wow.

Hammer Hands Fall Concert Series

So, here’s the deal. Some of you know that I played a concert series a few months back with Shawn Barrowes (a very talented singer/songwriter). Well, I’ve been asked to play again on November 10th (which is a Tuesday) and this is my dilemma.

He’s asked that I bring a decent group of people to watch, and I’d like to follow through with that, so I’m posing a question to all you Utahns out there.

Should I play? Or should I just ditch out on it. If I play, I need to have at least 15 or more people show up.

Toilet Paper Personality Indicator?

This goes out to my good friend Dani. My initial reaction to this suggestion was “WTF?!” And then, like I do, I started rolling it around in my head, and what I could blog started unraveling before me like the Sistine Chapel did for Michelangelo.

To quote the request:

“The paradigm of single v. two-ply toilet paper and how that relates to eco-friendly v. narcissistic behavior.”

As you can see, my initial “WTF” reaction was warranted. But, let’s break this down.

Johnny goes to the store because he’s out of toilet paper. Upon arriving in the designated isle, he’s faced with a

Blogging Soup for your Face: Life Edition

I’m in one of those “FML” type moods. Where I just feel like everything is going wrong in my life, and there’s not going to be anything I can do about it today, so why care? Needless to say, I’m the worlds most cynical asshole today. So I decided: “Why not write a blog about it?”

I posted a Facebook status earlier. It said this:

Michael Gray Barclay is thinking about pulling a Fight Club. Blowing up all of the major credit card corporations, and setting us all back to zero. Either that, or just trying to figure out a way to

I never post these things, but…

Ok, so I hate these lists usually, but I really did laugh at these. So, for your viewing enjoyment.

Lol.

“63 true things”

1. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why

BEAST Watch

This next excerpt is actually from a friend of mine. It’s actually rather disturbing.

Should this even be allowed? And honestly, is there even anything we can do about this?

I was in the chatroom the other day, with just a few members. My internet was lagging when it should not have been (I don’t exactly have equipment you’d call a dinosaur). Wondering what was happening, I ran netstat -a in my command prompt. For you who do not know what that means, I saw who was using my connection. Of course LDSTown was eating *some*
