That does sound like an awesome job btw. Consider yourself highly lucky. I don't care what I got paid, I'd work at an independent record store with actual culture for whatever the **** they felt like paying me and hold onto that job with my teeth.

I definitely loved Dust the first few times I heard it, and I'm sure quite liked whatever else I listened to, but I seem to remember the last time I listened to it I thought that it was a better version of post-grunge adult contemporary schlock that could never be anything more than alright. Should I rediscover or what?

Over time, it would suck and destroy you in its own special way.

You know the expression people who love their job never work or whatever?

It’s not true. If you make your living doing something you love you’ll eventually hate that thing and it will be destroyed for you in the process.

No. Just being aware of it is enough. They were pretty bland. Lanegan solo is better.

What’s the best Lanegan record to start with Exo?

Whiskey for the Holy Ghost?

Good to see you haven't lost your sense of hopelessness and nihilism while you were away, Hawk! Place hasn't been the same without you.

It's not so much doing what I love as doing what I hate in a genre I hate less than fast food. I have to assume that makes a difference, at least in that I'll end up hating it less than a lifetime of Burger King. And I'm not trying to own my own record store.

Nice ****. Winning a disc golf tournament would make my year.

One of the hardest fought rounds I've played. 30-50 mph gusts. Putting was a nightmare. Imagine this, but with (as Forrest Gump would say) little bitty stangin rain:

I know y'all hate when I post personal **** but **** it.

Sent this email to Linny this morning.

Quote:
This is getting ridiculous. I’m waking up every morning with a massive hard on, dry humping my bed, all while thinking about the things
you and I have done in the past while naked together. I end up with painful blue balls so bad I have to jack off – again thinking about you.

This morning it was Palm Springs. We screwed all afternoon and then went out to dinner. A shot of tequila and then we were back in our
room ****ing. Then you decided you wanted to be extra nasty and do it outside – so we ended up on a chair on the patio with you riding
me like a cowgirl for anyone to see.

This **** is driving me crazy! When you going to be back here again? 😉
She just called and said she'll be here on Monday.
