"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."
A disclaimer? Really? Okay; here we go. You are an idiot; so is your entire family; in fact, you are a mistake. Everything about you is pathetic and unnecessary. You should commit suicide now. Die. Get sick, get sicker, and then die. Quickly. Are you dead yet? You moron. On this webpage are many disappointed and insightful ramblings. If you read enough of it, it should really upset you. There! You've been warned.
Something, anything, many things--on this webpage RIGHT HERE, right where you are now, right now; lots of stuff here is going to upset you.
Got it?
Why are you still alive?
By clicking links and scrolling through disclaimers, do you even know what all you've agreed to at this point? Bend over! This my world here, and I will do it any way I want. I will threaten to kill, and eat, well, pretty much everybody. You, too. "Bar-B-Que; it's the ultimate solution to overpopulation!" Fuck you! Die! Or; be cooked alive! I've been a little scared of getting shut down, since I almost got shut down back in 2005. Who fucking knew that all I had to do was buy my own domain? Some other guy got "The Overnight Guy"; well, good for him. Maybe I'll kill, cook, and eat him this year. My 2nd choice was "Overnight Guy W C"; and BOOM, it's mine! How fucking cool is this? I will have to go back and insert so many deleted cuss words now. I might bring back Newspaper News; I SHOULD bring back Personal News, too. Commentaries are going to be; well, less quotable. Oh, and the woman-bashing; this shit is going to be like "Chauvinist Central" now, mutherfucker. Guys; if you let some dumb bitch rule your life, then you deserve my wrath; sorry. Those entitled, elitist snooty-assed cunts of recognition should spend more time sucking dick--MY dick. Let those chat room cows complain now; "moo" like the heffer you are, Rosebud! "Have another doughnut!" Fuck. Where was I? I gotta go...
Wait; a couple more jabs first: Imagine; no, no, no, shhhh. Shut the fuck up for a minute. Imagine that...God is on MY side here. Ha ha ha. How does that make you feel, you fudge-sucking sea cow? Shouldn't you be reading a tabloid and eating some fast-food somewhere? Attach another fish hook through your nose, and go swim in the ocean--perhaps the sharks will find you "attractive"; what the fuck are you doing here? Maybe I should learn how to scratch tattoos and inject botox into your fat ass. Show me just how close to your face you can mash your brain-distorting cell phone--you're an excellent driver. Sorry; I'm all out of $4 cups of coffee. Maybe I'll start a new business selling yesterday's COLD coffee; I'll call it "Sushi-Java", and charge $6 a cup. I'm a fucking genius over here. Mooooo.
No, no; hang on a second. We phased out "Media One". For the time being, and time following, you can watch me rant about the news in exactly one place. I gave up on trying to keep the language clean a long time ago:
Would you care if there were a way to get to some of the older personal news items? Be forewarned that part of my point in having a webpage is to have harsh language. Maybe you don't want to go check out my (2005):
I have enjoyed the creation and continuation of these little "Sidebars". My "blood" as a writer needed and still needs new ways to drip, clot, stain, and scab. After roughly 12(!) years of these loosely structured journal accountings, I feel that the end justifies the means. Many passing thoughts have been addressed well with this medium, and lots of former "dead ends" have been given a chance to detour back into prominence.
In a life (such as mine) spent wishing that I could create my own game (with my own rules), let the record show that I did; here, with these. Thank you very much...
SIDEBAR 154
February 2012
(...last month we were...)
Reading: Newspapers, Men's Health + Wired magazines. Not much else.
Watching: Lots of pinball; not so much tv.
Class Projects: The Daily Show, Bones, NOVA, House, Castle,
movies together: nada
Shit I watch alone: Disc #2 of my "American: The Bill Hicks Story" is goood...
Comedians: Christopher Titus "Neverlution",
Crappy cable movies: "Elevator Girl", "Just Go With It", "Stag Night",
Play it Again's: "The Social Network",
Watching and Hearing: I skimmed through the Miss America pageant. They wore evening gowns and strutted to soft indie rock. Why wasn't the music "Miss America" by Styx? Styx music has been popping up in strange places, backgrounds, sporting events, etc.. And another thing; on Divisional playoff Sunday (1-15-12) there was a show on network tv called "Improv-Ice" from Greenville, SC starring Styx. WTF?..Filter rocked Jimmy Kimmel on 1-19-12; Richard Patrick even surfed the crowd!..
Now with faster than dial-up internet; Youtubing: I am pretty boring...
Hearing: Immortal Technique "The Martyr", Shirley Manson suggested the band Alabama Shakes to me; okay...
New on the radio; Garbage is coming out with new music this month! (or possibly early February 2012, plus they have a new website)..New Van Halen minus Michael Anthony, new Nightwish, new Cage the Elephant...New Cake "Mustache Man"...I finally heard the new Silversun Pickups "Broken Bottles" on the radio (I believe I had that one)...New Scorpions, cool...New Smashing Pumpkins "Oceania"? Tell me more...New Cars "Sad Song", huh?..
Musical Purchases this month from the Tom Tucker discount wall at Skip's Records And CDWorld; my future place of employment, and permanent Barbie Dream Home: I can't afford to purchase new music...
Out and About: This is boring. I used to think it was so important to be able to name the music playing in the background of stores and restaurants; I have no life.
Singing: "My Favourite Game"--The Cardigans, "Roll Start"--W. C. Davis, "Return To Sender"--Elvis Presley, "If You Could Only See'--Tonic, "Alone"--Heart, "Had A Dream"--Roger Hodgson, "Not Again"--Crumb, "Stain"--Three Penny Needle, "The Art Of War"--Anberlin (and it would be a single were I still on the radio, thank you), "It's All Over But The Crying"--Garbage,
What I want today: I want my savings account money invested in silver. Yeah. Maybe um, I also want a savings account. How long do YOU think the American dollar will last?..
New stuff this month or so: AC/DC pinball is coming soon!.. Wc is now friends with Butch Vig, Shirley Manson, and "Garbage" on Facebook. Holy crap! Shirley Manson sent me a personal message! But my girlfriend is not jealous (damn)...
This Month of bargain-shopping (Dollar Tree, Cash King, Big Lots, etc.): incense and a candle at Cash King...Bathroom supplies for Blairally from Dollar Tree...
Occupational Hazards: I DO work at the arcade; it is called "Blairally". And now I have to take my own advice and be careful who I bring down there. As I say to people; "Tell your cool friends--not the assholes." And then I go and take an asshole down there on 1-24.
Personal shit for my own memory banks this month: "Complacify" is a word I made up while talking to my girl. "Champain" (mimosa hangover) and "Christmatastrophe" (Serial Killer Santa) slide in, as well...The day after the 1-5-12 Blues Jam was my big talk with the owner of the poker/Blues Jam bar. She's not going to make my visits to her establishment less expensive, so I'll go less often--and spend less money. Her choice...1-7-12 Saturday; I slept in until almost 3 pm. Good for me...1-9 Monday, I went out; Tues. 1-10 I stayed sober at poker (and won $20)--switching up my days, like a smart drunk...1-11-12; I need a new "medicine" grower; hmmm. My frustrating night at The Location revolved around the impending rule changes; no new drunk talky-talky bitches who don't play pinball or video games--why would she be there? And her friends LEFT her there, AND gave her back her car keys. People are stupid, and they will pay...1-12-12; so it turns out that I get way too generous with my stuff when I drink. My new plan will be to not take product with me on drinking nights; cool...1-13-12; I have lost my nail file. You don't know what that means, but it sucks! Also; I am alternating the quickie squats/push-ups workouts when I don't have 40 minutes for a walk (sore thighs, baby)...1-14-12; my first exercise walk carrying more than 50 lbs; 18 in each hand, 8 on each leg. I will be more sorer tomorrow; and, plan on 50-60 lb. walks becoming regular...I got pulled over on 1-16-12 for 2 improper turns (not turning into the closest lane). Luckily, the policeman was courteous and understanding. Even sober drivers can screw up...1-19-12; My first Xanax log! Yum! Oh; and I lost my watch at Blues Jam? Going naked through Sunday. 1-22-12 (still naked), did descending squat/push-ups in front of the Patriots game. Got down through 7 (from 15). That's 99 of each; wow for me!..I haven't been more than 24 hours without a watch for my entire adult life, but now (1-23-12) I'm on day 4 without (still naked)...1-23-12; I am mega-sore from yesterday's workout. Okay; got my teeth cleaned, went walking with 52 lbs. again. At China Mart, I waved around the 20 lb. weights, and they were very heavy--MUCH heavier than I anticipated. Will they get lighter; as the 10's and 15's did? Also; I bought another watch at China Mart, so then (of course) I immediately found my "lost" one (at home). Great. So I shaved my head again...1-24-12; after staying up all night (not by choice) it would appear that my body is getting sick. Plus it's all rainy and yucky outside. Damn. Later; after winning $20 in my poker game, I headed for the arcade...1-25-12 Wednesday; day 2 of being down with the sickness; no cigarettes, no sexercise, no house-cleaning, and no arcade. Bummer...1-26-12 Thursday; I spent most of the day in bed (Cheri would be so jealous). No exercise, no plasma, no arcade, and no Blues Jam--all of you can go to hell...1-27-12 Friday, still sick. No cigarettes, no pizza, no exercise. To the arcade--not the best move on my part; I am stressed. Almost snapped at the first drunk idiot--bad W C...Saturday 1-28-12; after much recollection--I must exercise, or else I'm going to kill somebody. GOOD exercise, lots of coughing. 5 days with no smokes. My lungs feel lighter--maybe I should quit smoking for a month--just to check it out...1-30-12; big trip to the dentist; 4 fillings in 2 teeth. Ow. It screwed my whole day up. Had to nap, and miss vacuuming.
Pinball and Golden Tee stuff: I start 2012 (well, January 9th) as the 622nd ranked pinball player in the world...1-2-11; the new Pole Position high score at The Location is my 65,310; finished in 221:52, with 23 seconds left, and 133 cars passed (new #9 world record). Beat that, and be happy...1-4-12; the new Bride of Pinbot high score is my 130 million. DLD is now focused on beating me at 'Bride'; we'll see...Pool Sharks pinball is gone; Fish Tales pinball is back (so I have high scores on only 6 macines now, not 7)...1-10-11; CAB (my boss) scored 65,500 on Pole Position, that's the new Blairally high score, and #9 world record (I'm #10)...1-11-12; 5 mil on Time Machine pinball (new high score, so I'm back up to 7 high scores again), and almost 4 Billion on the Billionaires Club of "The Machine"--so I have BOTH high scores on it again...1-13-12; DLD now has 7 Billion on "The Machine" (that's good). I scored 4.9 mil on Banzai Run for a new #2 score...1-17-12; finally put my name up on Harley Davidson pinball at the O/T (300 mil), then went and topped my own high score on Time Machine (8 million now) at The Location...As of 1-23-12, the backroom is being rewired to hold many machines--sweet!..1-24-12: The backroom is gorgeous! It's like; Heather Locklear-1987-magazine cover-yummy! 11 pinball machines side-by-side (24 pinballs total)...As of 1-25-12; "The Location" is out; "Blairally" is in. Also; the wall came down--which would mean 24 pinball machines in 1 room. Sweet...1-28-12 Sat. night, my new personal best on Banzai Run pinball is 5.494 mil (new #2 score)...1-30-12; '99 Golden Tee at Blairally; all 3 courses have -17 on them. BIG has -17 on Aspen Lake, I have -17 on both Coconut Grove and Rancho Saguaro (tonight). I AM Golden Tee at Blairally!..1-31-12. The Banzai Run pinball scores were reset. After scoring 6.1 mil, I later scored 9,825,100 mil (at 4 am) for the new Blairally high score!..
Grammar: Hagar the Horrible said "your" when it meant "you" on 1-4-12?.."Allowed" is not the same as "aloud", but it does provide an interesting cross--like um, 'There's no swearing ALOUD (out loud) in here, but silent swearing is ALLOWED (optional).'. See?.."Top Ten Grammar Peeves" was a random Facebook post--it should have been mine!..
New foods this month: Dad sent me a burlap bag of Anasazi beans, which are possibly the oldest beans around. They are mild and excellent...1-13-12; Pizza Friday The 13th! It was excellent; I like making pizza at home...1-20-12 was not pizza, but tater tots with avocado-ish ketchup made in the Magic Bullet. Yum...
This month of Blues Jamming: 1-5-12; expen$ive night for me. Missed set 1, who cares? 2 was Z-Bass, Ra + Ro guitars, Scotty B harp, JP keys + guitar, Axel drums. 3 was Z-Bass, Ra + Jeff guitars, Mark the Harp, JP, Jimmy D drums. 4 was the same as 3, maybe...1-12-12; okay, this is the last time I take "product" with me to Blues Jam--I just get stupid with it! Missed sets 1 and 2. 3 was fantastic; Russ W. on bass, Jeff + Max on guitars, JP on keys, Jimmy D drums, Steve on washboard. Later Darcy Lee came up and sang a few songs, too. Brilliant! Set 4 was Z-Bass, Jeff + Ra guitars, JP, Jimmy D drums...1-19-12; set 1 I missed; Ryker showed up at the arcade! set 2 was Z-Bass, Max (1 house guitar tonight), Fiddler Bob, JP, Lenny P drums. Set 3 was Z-Bass, Max on 1 guitar, (virgin) Lloyd on harp (very good), JP, Axel drums (Mustang Sally). 4 was Z-Bass, Max, JP, and Jimmy D drums. I lost my watch?..
My trials and trib.s as a critical believer in the concept of God: God is taking a nap, and He's earned it.
What's different here than in college town: The Oregon minimum wage has gone up from $8.50 to $8.80 now. It must be nice...Georgia Republican John Andrew Smith, who wants all welfare recipients to be drug-tested, got a DUII...
What's different here than dumbass Arizona:
How Does Your Garden Grow? (Tales from our community garden plot): We'll do it for one more year...
Life with Static Girl: The house is going (went) vegan on 1-1-12. No more chocolate/cheese in here for me...My girlfriend looks smart, but she's even smarter than she looks...Static Girl renewed my website for 1 more year--I guess she hasn't seen me cuss enough yet (that's a joke)...She always has a book within reach of the bed. I always have some sort of flaming device (lighter, matches) within reach of the bed. Priorities...My dark-haired girlfriend is not 24 anymore (1998). Her hair has gorgeous streaks of silver in it. On 1-15-12, we got a little snow. Sitting in front of her window, the snow falls around her, and it's photogenic how her hair appears to have snow in it--but she won't let me take pictures of her...From her I learned that "decaffeinated" doesn't mean the same as "no caffeine"...
My FCP has this for me: I need her so badly. It's wonderful the way we depend on each other...I was e-mailing her, and she called me WHILE I was doing it!..She is a primary catalyst for me to quit smoking in February 2012...
Comments From The Peanut Gallery: Mitt Romney makes $56K per day--it must be nice...
A thought to take with you: "We'll never get the water to clear up until we get the pigs out of the creek."--Old West Virginia Hillbilly saying

Slow down, or you're going to miss it!
The
Musical Section
is a list of favorites and opinions--as well as a constant work in progress. It exists as a temptation for you to create your own musical section, and to remind you of how important music (and its presentation) is in your life.
From the "you are here" part of the map, I am W C (also known as TH2, the Overnight Guy, and the cute one). I have a pretty cool voice, I love music, and I belong on the radio.
This is my site.
Silent Bob (and Jay) have a website! Let the record show that I put a link up to it on the day that I found out about it:
Kevin "Silent Bob" Smith
There's this site where ALL they have is weird news; items you might easily miss if you're not paying attention:
News of the Weird
By the age of 22 I had applications for alternative energy, perpetual motion, and a vision of a massive "Recreation Arena" (sportsbar); nobody cared. By the age of 25 I had written the perfect poem, and was churning out songs and poems for the masses; nobody cared. By the age of 30 I was a professional pinball player, and was redefining Overnight Radio presentation in 3 states. Some people cared, but not the bottom-feeding corporates who took over.
Please remember this; I did not ask to be born. But since I was, I would have been more than happy to help out this pathetic world. However, this pathetic world did not want my help. So; screw the world, and screw the people of the world. You can't die fast enough to please me. But there may be some good news...
The world is long overdue for some massive changes; changes that are going to completely revolutionize your sense of importance. They will be very interesting. It has been so said by many elders of many different cultures:
"May you live in interesting times".
