I hope that you have scads of things waiting to do, that have been on the back burner, and that your completion of those efforts brings you increased rewards and fulfillment.
I am certain that you can turn lemons into lemonade.

Thanks Scoundrel .. ya it's weird cuz everytime I think about something I have to do I think "oh I gotta do that around work" but there IS no work.

I am kinda on the payroll til Thanksgiving and I do get severence thank God, but I haven't been without a job evaaaaaaaaaah. Just plain weird.

Ya pretty funny. one of my sisters says "well first thing we need to do is get you out of that beamer" LMAO .. right cuz NOW I can buy a sensible car with NO job to qualify with.

ha ha

Such is life.

I love my car .. I'll find a way to pay for it .. trust me on that.

Yeah...im just saying cause you just bought, that this would happen. Nothing to do with what kind of car it is.

oh I know .. I just find that some people had trouble with what I bought, not just that I bought it. crazy

Ya the whole 'no job' thing is wiggin me out .. I'll enjoy the time til my daughter's wedding and I do get 2 mos severence .. but damn after that .. I'm hittin the pavement.

THANK YOU!!!

I do think the kind of producers they are looking for are different than me.

I produce events .. shows, gigs.

I could use the assistance of this service someday.

I think I just had a cow, god knows I'm sitting in Milk!

My daughter has said the same thing .. I am going to be looking at radio, tv .. etc..

Producing a product such as a record is not much different in skills than producing a show.

I'll be looking for large scale show production...think Live 8.

Live 8 it is

<<In my best nostalgic Hollywood mimic of Carey Grandt>>… “Ju-day, Ju-day, Ju-day…”

I GOT IT…

You can produce ME!!

I’m a multi-million dollar industry just waiting to happen! We could do the “Garth Brooks” thing… split it all 50/50… I have SO much to offer, I am the answer to all of your prayers, I swear… LOL…

<<Ed Sullivan voice over…>>

…“and now here’s a really funny guy with a bit of an Edge…” <<stand-up comic routine?>>

Or….

…“here he is folks, with his brand new red beeper nose, orange hair and over-sized floppy Bozo shoes, it’s Blimpo the Clown” <<male stripper-a-gram clown act?>> (((maybe not))) (((too much chest hair and I am fresh out of bicycle horns…)))

Or, of course we could try…

…“guitar in hand and out from underneath his bushel basket with his flaming hot candlestick after all these years, able to leap tall demons with a single bound, scorching red hot electric blues with an uncompromising Christian message akin to Darryl Mansfield but with a lot wickeder guitar… “Jam Handy” (my former stage name…)” <<Christian edgy blues live music act>>

…hmmmmmmmmmmm

They can keep my share of the money; give it to the poor…

--sponsor Bible-teaching shelters for the homeless,
--set up a “you-ain’t-gotta-pay-it-back” agape fund for workers in between jobs,
--send $2 million a year to Gideons International to help them get Bibles into the hands of people who need them
--sponsor a spousal and child abuse center with two distinct centers (separate facilities), one for the women and children, and one for the men who sincerely want to come to Christ and leave behind their abusive ways… NOT necessarily a program that keeps families together, but DOES spread the Gospel message
--sponsor and fully finance 15 to 50 Teen Challenge centers,
--sponsor an Army of missionaries to every country inside Africa, and enable them with 24/7/365 support for medical, physical, and spiritual relief, also make available an evacuation system in case entire Christian villages are targeted for genocide
--not ONE red cent gets sent to lobby Congress for ANYTHING
--make the media from this ministry completely free if necessary to people who (by simply asking) may not be able to afford cassettes, CDS, and DVDs (yes, God will bless this…), employ the use of “Napster” style file sharing clients such as eMules, Kazaa, Limewire and bittorent systems to get the music and this message out to as many millions as possible
--sponsor the first-ever fully accredited and completely FREE Bible college, simply named “Freely You Have Received Freely Give University” (there will be a long waiting list…)
--set up counseling centers for widows and widowers and children of families who have lost one or both of the parents, include in this families who have had a young one die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or any other infant mortality disease, fellow outreaches to children with cancer and terminal illnesses
--set up counseling centers for people who have been abused and/or gilded by modern-day organized religion, set up in-home visits and small group “hug groups” to welcome these folks back to the flock (does not necessarily ever include ANY brick-building church functions, ever…) (see book of Acts for instructions and how-to’s)
--sponsor special ministries to specifically back-slidden Christians who once knew and loved God, but somehow slipped away, create stadium-sized banquet table feasts to welcome home all of the folks coming back to the Lord, simply call the ministry “Prodigal Son Ministries”, borrow people from above “hug groups” to serve the potatoes and the corn bread
--encourage all of our ministers to teach the meat and milk of the Word, and NOT to preach hellfire and brimstone Bible-bashing messages… LOVE people to Christ, NEVER argue the Gospel with anyone anywhere at anytime, live the life in front of people and have compassion beyond what you ever dreamed compassionate, THAT is what Christ did for us, that is what we should do as we follow in his footsteps


I think this act would go over quite well… when do we start?

<<sells everything he owns, takes up his cross and follows this last path…>>

Atennnnnnnn-chut!!!!!


<<salutes producer Judy, resident Baaaaaaaad to the bone hot chick>> (see above post with militia Halloween outfit...)

"OK… edgy guy reporting for duty, now when do we starting kicking some serious BUTT around here?"

And would somebody PLEASE turn off that panzy-azzed elevator music? (Oh sorry, Pastor, I didn’t know they were praising God)

When I praise God, it goes something like this….

Cranks Mesa/Boogie guitar amp, stands on edge of stage pointing at crowd, kneels on molding of stage and rips off some blues lick that would make Stevie Ray roll in his grave…. Ah, yes… when I get to heaven, just give me a whole line of Marshall stacks, and one vintage 1957 humbucker-equipped Gibson Les Paul gold top… this Child of the Living God will show these angels around there a thing or two about praise…… for about the next bah-zillion years….. hahahahahah

Can you say “12 bars” Michael?

That sounds more like I would want also. Edgy might be interesting for a conversation or even a date when I am feeling dareing but don't think it would wear well and I would get edgy myself in another way.

Blame the government and their outsourcing scam....I believe the government needs to worry about the AMERICAN CITIZENS before they go trying to help other countries....same thing with the "christian childrens fund"....If they really wanted to help out in Africa....give their young birth control, teach them how to use it.....
America has starving kids....that is who Americans should be focused on.....and the government should be too.....but no....they want to give the american jobs to another country, so they can make more money....screw the working American....

Same with adopting kids from another country....why not take care of an AMERICAN kid first, who has no parents....how can a nation pretend to help another country, when this country can't even take care of itself????

Have you been there? To these other countries that were helping... If not, you have no place to talk. Tired of people talking and blaming the government on why there lives are so ****ed up. Yea the government has issues, but so do the American people.
My 2 cents

no I can't but I can say there is NO MAN that could compare or challenge you with word dude.

THAT is a definite


Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner!!!!


BOB .. tell him what he's won!

Agreed. Actually the company I worked for (it's so sad to say that past tense) just took a huge project on about Adopting American Orphans, pulling them out of our foster care system.

Thanks BMX, you got some great words there...

... and as far as Americans being abandoned, etc... it isn't necessarily the government's role to enforce the people abandoning their own people. If somebody in this country sees a need, then why are they pointing a finger, and not doing something to help out? Instead, blame the gubbermint? Nah...

I have a much better example, had nothing to do with the government...

My truck broke down... my friend Chris (who I hadn't seen in a year and a half) shows up one day as I am limping my truck back to the apartment complex. We get in a conversation about stuff, the convo turns to my truck, I tell him I don't have the money to get it fixed...

Out of the blue, and without asking, Chris tells me, well, Jim, God blessed me with credit cards, so if you need help, I'll just put the fix-it on one of my credit cards, He blessed me to bless others.

I told him I had no way of paying him back for a long time.

He almost scolded me, he said, Jim I don't need you to pay me back, ever, because God will bless me in return if I continue to bless others.

The repair cost almost $900 and Chris paid for it all on his American Express. He didn't bat an eye, he said this is what Christian people OUGHT to be doing for one another.

On the way home, my big Edgy eyes teared up a bit.

Didn't need the government this time, huh?









One day there isn't going to be any U.S. of A.... then who ya gonna blame?

Somedays I think it would all be better to actually just sell everything I own except for one guitar, the cool wool hat, the leather vest, the white shirt and the black 501's and just hit the street spreading the Word.

Forget college... forget a career... just do everything to make God happy.

Might just do that before I get dirt shoved in my face....
