STOKED

I had fairly crappy day at work. I got really dirty and and had a problem with the shop foreman, but that is no problem. I am behind on my job and time is winding down and it is not close to being done So the pressure has been on me to get it completed. I can't complete it because I have not received all the parts back from the re builders.

So I am a man who should be down and out but am I, No Way!

And why am I stoked, well thanks for asking. When I came home from work tonight I noticed something on the counter with my name on it. Was it a million dollars, Nope better, was it a retirement letter, nope much better, was it a new car, nope way way better!

My new CD came in the mail, the one I bought off my newly created E-BAY account. I rushed right in the house and put it on my stereo and cranked that sucker right up. I was in my glory, dancing around the tv room with my kids looking very concerned about me. A jovial dad who just got home covered head to toe in dirt.

Quite the scene I must say, And I am sure you are glad you missed it, trust me on that one.

The CD I bought is actually a sound track from a movie released in 1986. It was called SID AND NANCY. It is the true story of Sid Vicious and Nancy Sprungsten love affair which was nothing short of crazy and disgusting. They were both drug addicts and Sid ended up killing Nancy before he killed himself. If you recall Sid was a member of the Sex Pistols the punk rock band.

I can't watch the movie as it is so violent and crazy but the soundtrack is a work of art. I have never seen the Cd anywhere in the store's, so when I found it on e-bay I had to get it. It features songs by Joe Strummer who was part of The Clash, and the Vogues. Man can that lady sing from that group. It features a song by Steve Jones called Pleasure and Pain which is amazing. I love it.

It is basically a classic rock album and it suits me just fine. Oh I am still Stoked !!!!!!!!!

Thanks for reading
