http://gjxdaily.com A personal journal Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:12:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Had a dream about Ryan last night. I went to visit him, he was in some sort of group rehab or residential program. The place was in a bad, old, near-downtown neighborhood. I could picture the door of the building perfectly, it was a familiar place. But when ... http://gjxdaily.com/2009/10/a-ryan-dream/ For those reading this on Facebook, you can see the video on my blog at GJX Daily.

Drudge is gleefully rolling in the mud with this one. O-bum-a-gate: You always know where you stand with a liberal, whether it's Clinton or Obuma. A conservative will tell you how disgraceful this ... http://gjxdaily.com/2009/07/scandal/ I'm so frustrated. My 99 Ford truck, which I love, is on the DL. It stranded me on the interstate yesterday, I was stuck on the inner shoulder where 480 runs into 80. It was a mess. I was eventually able to limp home.

It's like time stands still forever until it starts shaking around on you, shaking around, like some crazy old hooker on meth." http://gjxdaily.com/2009/07/more-todd-snider/ My biggest enjoyment these days is live music. It doesn't matter if it's jazz, blues, rock, or "americana" - I love good live music. And the quality of entertainment we get through the Omaha area is incredible. National acts playing small venues, and interacting with the audience. ... http://gjxdaily.com/2009/05/robert-earl-keen/ I haven't posted for a while, over a month. I didn't have much to say.
