…Well, it sure didn’t have anything to do with my happiness.

I’m sure I’m not the only one blogging about the death of John Lennon today. Considering it was 25 years ago he was assassinated, It certainly doesn’t seem like it’s been that long…but I guess it has. I’m not going to go on and on about how Lennon changed the world of music….all that’s pretty obvious. I just wonder what sort of impact Lennon would have had on the world if he had not been killed.

TURN ME ON DEAD MAN

Oh…today I saw Paris Hilton at the Chevron Gas station being HOUNDED by photographers. There must have been about 6 guys all in the gas station parking lot bombarding her. I mean..HOW FUCKING MORE EXCITING does it get to snap pictures of Paris getting her tank filled? How silly!  I’ll admit I was curious what all the fuss was about…but I suppose the photographers have to eat too…and so, if a picture of Paris Hilton getting Full Serviced can put food on their tables, more power to ‘em

I’m pretty sore still…I mentioned in the last post about going to the Gym….well….uh…I’m going again tonight but my arms were so sore that I couldn’t straighten them out. I’ll go easier on myself tonight. I avoid Leg Machines since I figure I get enough of a leg workout playing hockey… this is all new to me.

Speaking of Hockey, we had another game last night. The game should have been titled "ASSES KICKED ON ICE"…and not theirs. I was so disgusted at my own playing that ended up taking myself off the ice in the last minute of the game. I know….not very sportsman-like. Oh well…I suppose if I didn’t get upset over it, it would mean that I don’t care. Not caring? Then why bother to play at all. It’s not if you win our lose, rather….how much you beat yourself up after the game for making crappy mistakes right

Well…I suppose I should grab some food before I head back to the gym tonight for more self torture. 24 Hour Fatness calls.

Yesterday I started getting TONS of Spam Comments on my journal…It’s not as though any of them showed since comments are set to be monitored…but It left me stuck having to read all the crappy Spam and delete it before it actually showed. I looked around for some Anti-Spam programs for Wordpress and came up with a few.

The 1st I downloaded was something called "Spam Karma 2- Reloaded"… That seemed to work pretty good but for some reason it started to over-ride the option of "moderation"…it basically took over like RISE OF THE MACHINES from Terminator 3. I started messing with the settings on it more and STILL couldn’t get it to the way I liked…and then I remembered the Juggler telling me about something he installed called "Captcha" ….which works like blogger.com’s anti-spam comment feature. It seems to NOW be working on my journal but there’s 2 submit buttons (not sure why). Anyway…in order to comment you must type in the 5 digit code after everything’s filled out and then click either submit button.  Tricky….and even trickier for me to install [I ride the Little Yellow Wordpress Bus]. Hopefully this will solve my Spam troubles…more on this to come.

END OF COMPUTER PLUG IN JABBER.

Let’s see…uh… I’m looking forward to seeing Cinderella "Cell Phone" Man tonight.  and I JUST saw the movie preview for the the NEW X-3 Movie….DAMN IT LOOKS GOOD! I think I’m most excited about the new characters…and especially curious about Kelsey Grammer as Beast.

A friend sent me a picture with Kelsey in full Beast Gear and it looked pretty sweet.

I’m a little worried that Bryan Singer’s not doing X-3 but I have a feeling it’s still going to be pretty good. Wishful thinking? Maybe.

Oh, i should mention that tonight I’ll be going to THE GYM and working out. It might not show in the photos I post, but I’ve gained some weight. Ever since I quit smoking anything I eat turns right to fat. Playing hockey helps …but not enough. I know much of it has to do with my diet but I’d rather eat the foods I enjoy and try and work it off rather than eat Rabbit food.

I have a pretty addictive personality…perhaps this Gym thing will get under my skin and I’ll actually have 6 pack abs. I guess it beats going back to smoking… I just need to stay busy and keep my mind off that. Let me just say that even after almost 2 years of not smoking, there isn’t a day that i don’t think about it and miss it. I’m not preaching here, but GOD it’s such a powerful drug.

UPDATE! I switched my anti-spam thing to Gatekeeper…so now instead of a number to type in….it asks you a question and there’s only one submit button. [i was getting some "confusion emails" on that]

Both plugins are great, by the way

Special Thanks to Suki for the hook up on this

Ok, in case i happen to forget my name …this shirt is going to come in handy. Now, if by some chance your forget your name and happen to be wearing a "Bob Shirt" [easily obtained here] you’ll have to email me beforehand so i can keep records on you. Each shirt comes with a GPS tracking system so i know where you are at any moment of the day. This especially comes in handy for those wearing the Thongs and Boxer Shorts.

All teasing aside, I really like the black and white baseball jersey shirt the best. The fitted shirt in the photo is really good material though…it feels soft. Oh, and they just added BLACK too.

Oh…the Store Folks sent me a Promo Code for free shipping for purchases more than $50.00. Just type in "FREESHIP" in the code box and that should get rid of those pesky charges.  

Ok…let’s play "catch up"…

We lost our Hockey game last night 4 to 2 but all in all, it was a good game. For some reason, we’re behind in games and have to make one up this Wednesday night. Must have been the Thanksgiving holiday that screwed with us. No bother though, 2 games in the same week suits me just fine. Having a week off the ice and playing again last night made me wake up a little sore.

Hmmm…I’m done pouting over silly Hollywood idiots. It’s not a very good side of me that i was showing these last couple posts…Mainly, it’s time to move on. The next time someone says what they want to do …i’m just going to say "don’t talk to me about it….just fucking do it"… I understand that everyone is just trying to make it themselves…but COME ON.

The rest of this post was edited…it was about Spam and somehow while trying to fixe something i deleted it. Yippiee…it just said how much i love Spam and how much of it i’m getting …Spam Comments….i’m going to get that fixed!

… This post isn’t going to be so "dandy" for those of you NOT on a high speed connection. I’m linking to a QuickTime video file of a song I sang live in my living room (about a year ago)called "Little Hercules".

What’s been happening is… I had it posted on my site but the more I watched and listened to it, the more I thought "well, it’s really not a best foot forward and there’s some very rough edges so I shouldn’t give a link to it"…but then I’ve been noticing the video has been getting quite a few downloads from people searching "Bob Gentry Little Hercules". Also..the few people who have found it have emailed me with some really nice comments….so maybe it’s not THAT bad?

I just watched the clip again today and considering I had only heard the song a few times and didn’t know the lyrics well(as you can see by the crumbled paper on the piano), I figure it could have came out much worse. Hell, I’ve certainly done worse. Also…watching the clip gives the added bonus to see me in my best cowboy shirt and that "just fell out of bed hair look" going on(if that’s really a bonus). [It's ok to laugh....that's what I'm here for.]

Anyway… I didn’t write this song, but the song sort of fits the mood I’ve been in and so …against my better judgment…. Here’s the Link.  Hope some of you enjoy…by the way…you can still view on a dial up connection…it’ll just take forever to load is all

Here’s an mp3 podcast promo i’m featured in from the PMC Top 10 Countdown. Damn….it almost makes me sound like I’m doing something right [Shout's out to C-Dogg...you Rock!]

It looks as though I’ll have a song featured on a CD they’re releasing…I’m not sure when that’ll be out but it’ll be filled with some great artists. More on that when I know more…

I know I haven’t been writing much these last weeks …and the little I have been writing has been of little substance. Without coming across like a manic depressive, I’ve just been mentally miserable. No, no, no….i’m not blogging this to get "cheer up" comments (as nice as those are to get)…I’m just opening up a little and saying what I’m feeling. I’ll get my head around it though and be back to my normal cheery self soon. *Please note, i’m NOT looking at sharp objects and thinking how pretty they look

Some of these thoughts stem from this time of year, but most of it sort of feels like being lost at sea without a life vest and trying to keep my head above water. I’m just getting tired of the backstroke. I’m either thinking of stopping all this swimming against the current or buying a jet ski to take me East. The alternative is just to drowned… I’ll pass on that.

[I know the photo of me is sucky but it fits my mood at the moment]

Here I go speaking in riddles again…mainly, to an outsider…i’m sure my blog makes my life seem fun and exciting…or perhaps it’s that it lets folks live vicariously through what it might be like if they were to try the "let’s move to Hollywood and try to make it in the entertainment world"… the big secret is…It’s all an illusion though.

For the most part, I jot down only the good things happening and try to hype those rather than dwell on the bullshit(like I’m doing now). I just think from now on if i’m going to continue this blog, i’m going to have to start exposing some of the BS’ers i run across in order to get the stuff off my chest and keep me sane.

Enough blabber. Now that all this is off my chest…the world is wonderful Hope you all have a great weekend!
