Oh....... I'm just fine, but she could have used a little vasoline.
Too much information......... or too much probing?
I heard on the news that watermelon has a special acidic ingredient that works much like a natural viagra. So I guess raw oysters and watermelon are now the food of the Gods! Whaddya think..... maybe some white wine with that?
Later................................

That story was invented by a door-to-door watermelon salesman.
In regards to the vasoline thing, sounds like a woman did you wrong. Trust is a tricky thing. It's like diving off a cliff and hoping you can fly. Only recommended if you find a girl who has proven she can catch you when you fall.

This thread is about you, not me. :~)
However I am mostly great with a few lingering itches. Time is moving a little bit too fast in the summer of my joy.

how am I? I got the post-show- &-broken-equipment blues.... Our music on IAC is streamin' again, thanks to tech support, but I know you could care less about that stuff fly.
STILL, you did ask how I was, and without getting too deep, A LOT of my life involves around listenin' to music, promotin' it, & ObVIOUSLY, tryin' to make & promote my own as well.
and tomorrow it's back to work at the day job for MOST of the day. BUT ==> we had a good turn out for the show on July 4th, and I got to play with two VERY different bands & when the flurry of activity for almost 4 hours was over I STILL had that lingering smell of rock & roll.
The first band I played with was Conversation Suicide and the second band was CUSTARD, and we've only got 6 songs so far. THE cool thing is they are ALL collaborative efforts fueled off some nifty bass-generated tunes I'd been workin' on for the last few months. CUSTARD is a band made up of TWO IAC Artists= Conversation Suicide & Sinister Mustard. EVEN IF YOU DON'T like the music I have up here, you should try Sinister Mustard --another ROCKIN' band from Tucson, AZ -- rockin' the HARD ALTERNATIVE genre.
The band that played after us was AMAZING--called PSYCHOTIC NERVE (not yet on IAC, but on MYSPACE) -- with a VERY strong front person! She did a beautiful growlin'/screamin' style mixed with a Grace slick STYLE melodic vocal & had stage presence for miles... SO MUCH so that we let her take the ARTFEST HAUS over for another two hours. Pushin' it into the witchin' hour of 3am.
AND my family still loves me very much, just as I do them --even though they have to live part of their life wrapped up in a house that is filled with noise from my rock & roll dreams 2-4 nites a week.
Sorry fly, but ya did ASK. And "fine" just didn't seem the appropriate way to respond.
And I'm STILL pissed at you for callin' me "opportunistic" for jumpin' in with a humorous comment in the middle of one of your long back&forth bug-blog threads... I thought my comment was appropriate & humourous & the BLOG is for EVERYBODY, not just a few choice insects, ya know?
And yes, every time I post I'm indirectly tryin' to promote my music, probably in some fashion... So what? That's one of the main reason I came to IAC, to promote my own music & other artists along the way.
Now, give me that tongue-lashin' I deserve, hookay?

Yes, trust is an extremely tricky thing... insightful words with your comment Fly, that all should take note of.
A comment that now seems out of context ~however~ the poetry has been lovely... and very much can be an answer for how one is doing... and most assuredly is a route to ones heart.
As far as the question at hand... I promise to return with my thoughts.

Phlegm, if I might interject here, though I know this is between you and fly...
I just wanted to say that you only have yourself to answer to and those that would let an insect persona dictate how they perceive an artist here would be a fickle fan to gather anyway... fly cannot hurt your musical agendas. There is nothing for you to defend, you are quite honest about your motives and I salute you as I'm sure many here do. You certainly make the most of your opportunities but who here can tell you how to go about your business? Saturation is the game, and even bad press is good press, as they say. I haven't found posting on these blogs to draw much attention to my pages, but then again, I'm kind of an ass.
You are liked here, from what I gather... you would be hard to not like as you are a genuine character and I find you without pretense for whatever it's worth. You are not being handled by a team after all, you are trying to be the team, and anyone attempting that might annoy a few trying to occupy the same spaces, I cannot say for sure. We have different motives for why we are here, but the same in the need to share a song. You have enormous talent Phlegm, and a dynamic set of pipes... and while versatility might not be in your favor in regards to the music business, it is certainly worth the fight. I wish you all the best of success : )
I hope this post does not get deleted
And Fly... I'm sticky, but in a good way, with a healthy dose of optimism today, hope you are everything you would like to be today, and more.

I'm glad you brought this up, CS, because I got something to say.
"And I'm STILL pissed at you for callin' me "opportunistic" for jumpin' in with a humorous comment in the middle of one of your long back&forth bug-blog threads... I thought my comment was appropriate & humourous & the BLOG is for EVERYBODY, not just a few choice insects, ya know?"
Guess what, that wasn't me who called you opportunistic, that was Roach. I'm not even in that realm of thinking. My posts are nothing like Roach's. The problem is, when "Roach" created her character, she (or he or it, I just don't know at this point) used a similar pic with the same colors, copied my emoticons verbatim, it was and is really an asinine thing to do. Roach also shows up on every single blog I write. That's at least twice this week where somebody is accusing me of saying something she, he, it said - cause when you read enough of these blogs you might just see the red and black pic and not be paying close attention. my words are being convoluted by this ____ who I think is just somebody playing games whose skin I got under in the past under their artist name probably. I've at one point resigned from the pipeline because it's just not pleasant to have a stalky clone usurper but people requested I stay so I did. I've tried to roll with it but the same issue exists. Guess the best I can do is try to encourage people to look harder at the fine print and learn to discern the real article from the cheap spinoff.

Crack*a*jack -- youze awesome! Always jumpin' in with either completely random, but poetic thoughts & stories..... or deliverin' encouraging words like just there.
THANKS for the kindness, I NEED that in this crazy, fucked up world of ours!
Who's to say whether bloggin' has any value? It's usually FUN, though and seemed like it worked for the two of us, eh? I'm now a fan of Crack*a*jack*crow.
Hope everybody else out there had a pretty cool weekend thus far too.... Keep on ROCKIN' and doin' your thang y'all. Peace.

Some people are such idiots, and they make themselves look like idiots because they can't see themselves how other people see them, as idiots and they don't care because they're contented idiots and quite oblivious to the trouble they cause.
They expect you to listen to their music just because they ask and they offer nothing in return except the pleasure of listening to their music. No matter that they have taken no trouble to find out a thing about you or your Station or your preferences, no matter that you have enough conscience to look at their exaggerated, processed bios and multi players and links to other sites. Do they notice whether you look or not, they are automized with one aim - numbers. Then they come back to tell us how popular they are while really they should be saying look how clever it is to be an idiot why didn't you think of that.
So in answer to your question this sort of carelessness and lack of attention to detail and respect is bothering me. Why should I have to go around deleting their inappropriate comments and misunderstandings. The reason I came on this thread to gripe is because I noticed that you were having to waste time defending yourself against a skimmer who was misreading a troll clone or some such.
Sometimes you need to give a real answer when someone asked 'how are you'

I am sorry I have obviously hit several nerves here, and not meant to cause Fly so much grief along the way as is now apparent. I don't play games and it should be obvious the time I have spent here has been to try and offer my viewpoint for the benefit of some friends and the community in whole.
I wrote this poem after reading the posts above and in light of the last few days of posts. I do have this kind of hope for everyone, and it was heartfelt. I just felt vulnerable about having it here shortly after posting. I offer it as a parting gesture, view the dream of you as all of us. Follow your dreams and be happy.
If I could make a wish it would come true
because all I ever dreamed was of you...
If I could dream for my friends
I would wish their dreams come true too.
Dreamers become as dreams awake...
and lovers are loved as they give their love,
give their love away.

Again lovely poetry!!!... Thank you for posting it again. I would like to apologize to everyone for my part in any confusion that has been caused with Fly's last few blogs. Roach was able to see through my comments into the deeper feelings behind them... that I have been dealing with... and took it upon his/herself to engage in coversation with me... I think in hopes of giving an alternate perspective not only for my benefit but others as well. In the process of doing that... I believe that Roach had also felt somewhat protective of me... in how I might interpret some of the comments that were added to the conversations... and due in part to feeling the need to be a buffer between me and others view points... some things were said that have apperently rubbed some the wrong way. I would like to tell Roach thank you for everything you have done and yes... possibly to your detriment. On my behalf... I am personaly sorry to those who have been hurt or angered by any comments throughout these last few threads. Roach it is of course your choice but I hate to see you go.
Fly... I do have thoughts I'm trying to form on the question at hand... I do hope this is one of the good days for you. :-)

Hi Fly... I'm a bit late... I haven't known the answer to this question... for quite sometime actually... so I had to do a little soul searching.
I'm actually doing pretty Okay... I've been staying true to who I am... and haven't compromised myself or the things I value the most... love, friendship and compassion. I have loved the people who mean the most to me with every ounce of my being. I have traveled a path that by no means has been all bad... but that I wouldn't wish upon anyone else... came out on the other side still whole... and remained breathing through it all. All the while obtaining some very valuable life lessons in the process... that will remain with me for a lifetime... and met a few new people along the way.
I want to tell you how thankful I am for your 'Good Days and Bad Days' blog... it was an amazingly, beautiful gesture... to have given to not only the one you have loved... but a community as well... I was moved beyond words at such a generous gift!
I too have loved someone as deeply as you seem to love your Flygirl. At the time of reading your blog... I didn't quite understand your comment about her changing your life from an obligation to a gift... I believe I understand what you meant by that now.
It is an amazingly wonderful thing to be touched so deeply by someone... they are a part of you... that when you breathe... you know that it is their breath too... that when you move... you feel them move with you. To be so connected to someone... you have been able to understand parts of them... before they have made the choice to reveal them to you. And to have been loved in such a way that opens you up to be more of who you are. I have loved deeper than what I thought possible. One of the greatest gifts that has been given to me... is to know the true meaning of unconditional love... and how to be vulnerable enough to share that truth in such a public place.
To the one who has touched me in such an eternal way.
I love you!
Fly... I would like to reiterate... how wonderful it is to have opened yourself up in such a way that you have come to understand the difference between convincing yourself that you are happy... and truly knowing you are happy... and for you to have traveled that path with another for a time... I imagine could have only made the journey that more meaningful. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself... one that I'm sure has been difficult to share. My wish for you... is that during this process... there has been a purpose that will expand beyond your little corner of the world... and into the lives of many... as well as the hope for your internal peace. :-)

Fly, by the way: Sorry I got you and Roach Up in my nostrils confused.
I do see that y'all both have a different personality... just got too quick at the bloggin'. It's all good. I don't want everybody to BLINDLY like me for no reason, if they do dig me our my musical output -- hopefully it's for a REAL reason & not just schmoozin' , and I'm fine with ROACH havin' strong opinions and such. Most of the people that don't like somethin' you say or do--just don't say a thing or ignore you. So at least I've gotten the attention of the ROACH a few times!
uh.... anyway. Just sayin' sorry I confused you two. -phlegm

Back to the original question - how are we?
Satch and I are tired, but very happy, having made it back home after a great weekend at the 2008 mid-Wales Pagan festival. We did a really good gig on Saturday night, performed for nearly an hour with a helpful engineer and a good PA to a most receptive audience, sold a pile of CD's, made a bunch of new friends, got invited to perform two more festivals in August, and during the day we had some great walks and meditations in the wild flowers on the dunes by the beach... a most wonderful weekend!
