So I've really been trying to keep up with everything...but I'm having a seriously hard time with it. My house is even in dissaray. I haven't been spending much time at home lately, which means not much time on the computer.
On St. Patricks day, I met this guy, Joe, at Hell's Kitchen. We both really wanted to hook up that night, but I had obligations the next morning. We've been texting eachother, and he's planning on coming out to see my band play tomorrow night, and I think we have a date on the 31st? I finally told him I was married, and he didn't seem to mind, so that's cool, because I really want to fuck him. He's funny, and I can see the two of us being drunken partners in crime...which means fun, wild adventures. He was recently in my home town over the weekend, and he texted me saying, "I can't see why you ever left this place". Then he texted me again saying, "To set the tone of the trip, I stopped at Walmart and bought a NASCAR hat, and got piss drunk on Yukon jack"...definatly sounds like fun...
We were supposed to kick it last Thursday night, but I texted him saying I started shark week, and he was like, "I love Shark week, my buddy does half price shark week tattoos!", and I was like..."um, not THAT shark week"...ha ha ha.
So I figure if I haven't scared him off by now, he's probably pretty cool, and right up my ally for some crazy, drunken, sex filled adventures...which I could really use a dose of right now.
Saturday Honky Bastard recorded drum tracks in the early part of the day, the it was my birthday show at the Charleston, which led into my birthday party at my house, which I posted video from the other day. I'm still waiting on my smurf rant to surface...there was a guy taking pics for one of the other bands, and he started shooting video of my band...well...um me anyway. I felt really bad for my boys. I'm not even this vain...I was like wow, there's a lot of me in this video...well, pretty much, it's all me in this video, except a couple clips...but yeah, this was prior to me being a drunken retard at my birthday party...
then...this is another video I found of me being a drunkne retard at my party...and yes, I fucking LOVE DIO!!!, which is why Taint even played the fucking track in the first place, because he knew I'd wind up doing something like this...
Once upon a time, I used to party like this on a regular basis, which is why I don't really remember much of being 17, 18, or 19...every once in awhile, it's okay...but man does recovery suck ass. My back still fucking hurts, and my muscles are still sore from the E pill.
Sunday, I spent in recovery. It hurt to move, it hurt to talk, I couldn't eat...and when I finally could stomache the idea of eating, everything I tried to eat tasted like shit. Honestly, I don't know how anyone can really party like that on a regular basis...even when I was a heavy partier, I rarely did drugs, except for 6 months or so on a coke binge...but for me, it was all liquor and beer. Alchohol was my first and one true love. Anymore, I'm more of a social drinker...it's amazing how long beer lasts in my fridge if I'm the only one drinking it these days.
Monday(yesterday) was my acctual birthday, and it was awesome. I woke up when I felt like it, and called the Apple Tree farm to ste up my appointment for 12:30pm, took a shower, and vegged until almost noon, then Dan and I drove to Puyallup to head out to the tree farm. The guy who owns the place is a really old farmer, and seriously knows his shit. He explained everything to me in pretty simple, easy to grasp ways on how to take care of my tree. When all was said and done, I settled on a M26 variety, which basically means they split the tree into two varieties, that way you don't need to trees to pollinate eachother. The top half of my tree will produce Sweet Sixteen apples, which look like this...

They are a cousin of the Honeycrisp apple, which is mine and Dan's favorite. Bob the Farmer said they taste a little bit sweeter, and don't keep as long, but are his personal favorite variety of apple.
The bottom half of the tree will produce Shamrock apple, which look like this...

He said Shamrock apples pretty much taste just like Granny Smith apples, which make them great for pies and applesauce. I did a bit of research when I got home, and found out that when Granny Smiths aren't in season, they sell Shamrock apples at the store and call them Granny Smiths...kinda funny I guess.
The tree I have is only 3 years old, and while it will produce fruit, if I want a pleantier harvest for next year, I can only allow 3 apples to ripen fully, otherwise it will use all it's energy to grow apples, instead of the tree growing bigger.
I'm so excited about my apple tree, and it was seriously the best birthday present ever! :) We picked up lime, stakes, and chicken wire from home depot on the way home. The lime was per instructions from farmer bob to help pull the acid from the soil, and the chicken wire and stakes is to keep my dog from thinking it's a stick for him to chew on.
Before heading home, we stopped at the Olive Garden for lunch, and I had the Tuscan Garlic Chicken...fuckin' bomb!

We got home, planted the tree, then vegged some more before my bro, Draygen took me out to Porters BBQ for dinner, where I had fried catfish for the first time ever, which is also fuckin' bomb. Couldn't finish my BBQ chicken sammich, ate maybe a 1/3 of it, and brought the rest home to Dan...then played a couple rounds of

which is one of the most bad ass board games I've ever played. It kinda of mixes tabletop RPG with magic, and regular board games...it's pretty cool. Around 10, 10:30...we headed upstairs for some birthday sex, after which I passed out, and woke up at 9:30am this morning, so hopefully, I'll be back on track with my sleep schedule now.
Tomorrow, my band has another show at Hell's Kitchen, then on Friday, we're playing a basement show, and Monday, we play in Seattle, which makes for a total of 5 shows this month. Bastard Child has been keeping me severly busy, between practice, shows, photo shoots, getting the van road ready, and getting ready to start booking our tour...I haven't really had much time for anything else. I really like being busy though...keeps me from being bored. :)

Zebrana
yeah, we have an open relationship....worked pretty good for nearly 5 years now. although we've only been married about a year and a half. When I mention "Dan", that's my husband. That board game is so bad ass...it's ahrd as fuck to win if you play the heroes, but still a fucking blast!
Neko
i have a huge amount of respect for you and dan for making something like that work. you must be really open, uninhibited people, and i find that refreshing
Zebrana
I think the first stages of a relationship like this aren't very easy, but with open/honest communication, you learn to grow together, find eachothers limitations, and work within' them to make it a healthy relationship...then again, those rules pretty much apply to any relationship, and not just open relationships. Trust/communication/respect....without those 3 elements, it's incredibly hard, if not impossible for a relationship to become a happy and healthy one. Thank you. I think in a lot of ways, we still have inhibitions, they just aren't so much with eachother. I know I still have a lot of growing to do.
glowskull

Zebrana
