I just wanted to come home.  Four and half hours of pinball, I knock out 21 other players for third place.  Marsha calls as they are trying to take our pictures.  It's quarter to 12.  Needs me to go by and see if we locked the building and shed at the gardens.  On my way home, so okay.  The shed was left open.  Go over to show the neighbor my trophy and the $30 I won, he been gambling and won twenty thousand.  Now I just want to go to bed.   

Why in the world would you set yourself on fire on purpose?  Some guy did that outside of the Trump trial with pamphlets saying something about evil billionaires.  Haunted Carnival Edition is kind of a cool name but to kill yourself by fire, you have to be pretty crazy.

Leslie says I'm in a fog and tired because of all the sugar I eat.  Maybe but I cut that out a few weeks ago.  I still think it has to do with my puffy eyes but she says the sugar causes inflammation.  Retired nutritionist so she should know something.  I also think it's lack of nicotine, took away my will to live.  I've been creeping back up on the cigs when I'm stressed.  Stressed may not be the right word, maybe strained.  And of course it's allergy season.

The roofer got us confused with another client and missed his appointment today.  Nothing I hate more than waiting around for someone who scheduled with me and doesn't show.  And those folks who decide they can schedule over you and blow you off.  Had that today too.  I understand emergencies and fucking up your booked schedule but deciding you'd rather do something else than keep your commitment to me tells me a lot.  This person I've stopped inviting to things because she cancels a lot, shows up late or has to leave early.  She still sets things up with me but I don't count on her.  I've turned down doing things with her unless I'm going to be doing them any way.

Pinball tournament tonight.  I would rather stay home and sleep but I said I'd be there.     I'm wondering if this woman will be there.  She made a point last time of saying she didn't know I smoked and was all excited we had something in common.  I didn't get it.  First time I was in a group with her, never really met her or talked to her.  I'm not gay but was that a pass? 

[Dark Matter, the band's twelfth studio album, is officially out now]

Dark Matter, the band's twelfth studio album, is officially out now.

It’s surreal to even type out that sentence.

We’ve had the pleasure of sharing Dark Matter with you in some way this week, whether you were able to attend an early listening party or screening. Thank you all who made it out!

Now, we’re excited for you to listen to the record in the comfort of your own space. And when you do, listen to it LOUD.

Cool - that's awesome if true that it's official. A space Axl can have to put out what he wants and maybe by doing so negate unofficial news and ill-sourced publications.

The copy is a bit sloppy for such a colourful lyricist, speaker, and writer as Axl. In fact, it doesn't appear that a native English speaker wrote it as it reads like a run on sentence with "rose" used 3 times. Most native speakers vary their wording and avoid excessive commas. Unless over-using a word purposely to emphasize or remind readers topic or point. In this case, "rose" - a punny intent?

Might I recommend www.thesaurus.com, enter "rise" and consider "rocketed to fame" or "scaled to prominence". Although there's something about climbing to prominence that doesn't sound right as prominence isn't an achievement or goal - it's a state or condition. 

As a fellow grammar Nazi, I was thinking the same thing! Haha!

I would have referred to the band as legendary not as an old 80's band.  It maybe Axl's but I don't think it's him.  I think it's Live Nation's official Axl site.  Bad time to be associated with them.  The words antitrust comes to mind in more ways then one.

Can you imagen the jam going on in heaven right about now?

Unless he's Southbound.   

Great artist.

Damn, Dickey Betts died.  

I knew this was coming but my insurance is raising my deductible and doubled it if it's a hail or wind event when I renew it.  Blamed it on the number of claims in the state for these kinds of events.  They actually did it to all renewing policies a few months back.

Tornado sirens all over the place as the storms came through.  I just got a little rain.  We drop back to normal temps.  I was kind of missing spring.

I mean...maybe?

But I'm not sure why, after 20+ years, you'd do that without having a purpose in mind.  Never mind why you would contract with Skyline (who typically creates sites that promote specific products/endeavors) to do it?

Again, yes, sure, that's possible.  We all know Axl does things his own way, in his own time, for his own reasons....

Well, as with everything relating to GN'R, things happen when they happen. This isn't the first time someone asks "Why now? Why not X years ago?"....
