Foo Fighters


Why is it that I'm willing to pay full price to go to a Foo Fighters show when all I really want to do is see the opening act AGAINST ME!. Damn them, when they toured in December they played Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa on school nights. Hello, what about a show in Oakland or SF?


As a sucker I'm paying twice as much to see them in an arena rather than in a small club. Oh yeah, The last time I went to a Foo Fighters show was to see WEEZER open up for them. So I've never really gone to a Foo Fighter show with the intention of seeing them.

It's been Five years......


Straight outta Ziggy Stardust.....Not Compton you fool!

Yes, On January 31st I will have been gainfully employed by the Clorox Corporation for 5 whole years. "Yes indeedy", as the brilliant Ned Flanders once coined the phrase!

Five years of employment by one small corporation relative to the big bad giagante of P&G. But in reality I've had a great time working for great people. My favorite person has to be my ex-boss Lynda. She has been a good friend and an influence on me and I have learned many things over the 5 years of our friendship.
thank you.

FYI-on a random note, I was able to pick out a present for my 5th anniversary for working at clorox. I chose a Globe and had the option of having a customized nameplate added to it. I chose to name my globe "Sir Edmund Hillary", this happened on Monday. Well, to my dismay Sir Edmund Hillary Passed away today Thursday janurary 10th. He was the first to conquer EVEREST!
