Remember that groovy band Kiss… “Knights in Satan Service” Haha…I was a big fan when I was a kid. They were the first “shock rock” band I remember…They did songs about the good things in life… Sex!
They painted their faces and wore these cool costumes… They jumped around on stage and had fire and platforms and shiny drums. The bass player spit up blood and blew fire… It has been said they were the “hardest working band of all time”.
There band consisted of:
Cat
Star child
Vampire
Space Man
So where they the Kings in Satan Service? Or was this just a clever marketing publicity stunt? Perhaps the movement to label all rock music as “the devils” music came up with this and when Kiss heard it they simply didn’t deny it thinking it would sell a few more records.
Oh sure their songs about rock and roll lifestyle sex and God’s of Thunder was a bit over the top in the 70’s… Not even close to what these guys are singing about now… Come on now… Ever heard of the band Slayer?
Hey..Kiss is still rocking around out there.. Can you dig it?

Do you remember the Pepsi challenge? You would pull up to a grocery store and they would have this stand up there… You step up to the little booth and they give you 2 tiny cups of soda and you tell them which one you think tastes the best.
I chose coke… I had to think about it for a minute tho.. My mom had always told me that “Pepsi tastes’ like Coke with dirt in it”. Well, when I took the actual “test” I couldn’t tell…And honestly, in that setting, thought that Pepsi MAY taste just a little bit better…
Uh… Nope.
I’m a Coke guy for life hipsters…That’s just the way it is… Now that i’m older and slower and bigger and all I have decided to switch to the diet variety.
Coke RULES!

Well I decided to give the hip opinion a new look… I thought about it while I took a walk around the block for some much needed exercise and while I was staring at the moon.
So, while I was staring at the moon (it’s 89% full) I came up with the idea that the site was getting kinda tired and I wanted to give it a bit of a facelift.
Not that the site is any better.. I just installed a new theme that I found that supports the ad’s and make’s it easy to install them. Look how pretty those links are! You should visit one!!!
The whole process took about 20 minutes to complete. The only thing that is bothering me is that for some reason the code for making the text bold or initialized (etc) does not seem to be working…This could be a problem with the theme… See! This sentence is supposed to be BOLD!
Wassup?
Talk a walk and stare at the moon… At 89% full you can get all kinds of inspiration! 🙂 Of course it helps that there are tons of free themes out there for this content management software… Pretty geeky lingo huh?

I have always enjoyed “space sounding music… And I am guessing that Pink Floyd was the first to do it.. Or do it right… The first record…Piper at the gates of dawn is really a spacey sounding record… Campy too…
It was recorded at the same time as The Beatles Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band. In my “hip opinion” it is a better record.
So the space music? Well listen to it… The opening song Astronomy Domine is just about as spacey as it gets…Then right into Intersteller Overdrive… Come on!?!
I heard Roger Waters say one tome that “nobody invented space music” Well, I dunno… His first guitar player Syd was certainly one of the first right? That guy is kinna a trip… A tortured genius…. But then Syd Barrett was on a whole other level…
Many people I have talked to over the years are into Pink Floyd.. The later stuff… I try to turn them on to the Barrett recordings but many consider it just too freaking “weird” It is that…. WAY out… In SPACE….
Give it a listen sometime…With an open mind….

So when you call some kind of business be it a doctor office or utility company you always get a computer. …Push one for sales, push 2 for service, push three if you want to make and opponent.
To speak to a customer service representative push ZERO…
Well that’s a hard one huh? I may want to do any and all of these things. What I want to do is tell a PERSON about it. Not push buttons all day and then go on hold waiting to talk to a real person anyways…
So check it out.. The “system” will ask you to “enter your phone number” enter your name and ask other questions.. THEN…When the real person comes on to help you they ask for the very same information that you just told the machine system.. WASSUP?
OK… Push one for English.. Two for ….. French?
Happily travel by telephone :
