wow another shocker!!! Fuck!! I always thought his infomercials were cool. Even if i didnt buy the product they were always cool to watch. I had been watching his show Pitchmen on Discovery Channel. Wow what a shame.
Has been reported that his wife found him dead Sunday Morning just before 8am and that he had been on a US Airways flight Saturday that had the front tire blow out upon landing. Wow!!
Well, RIP Billy Mays. Truly a pitch legend!
….even though I have been exhausted and getting no sleep lately i am still managing to plan routes and tour Europe on the BMW. Lately with all the coverage with the death of Michael Jackson I have been up awake listening to whatever I can. Michael Jackson was a music icon. I remember jammin to Thriller album when I was a kid. My parents would tell me to put the headphones on because it was too loud. I will write more about MJ in another post.
So lately i have not rode as much as I would have liked to. A few shorts rides here and there. Rode from Arendal Norway to Ljungby Sweden to see the Cliff Burton Memorial which is quite near where he was killed on the Metallica Tour. I sat there for a few minutes playing Pulling Teeth in my head. As I was getting up a few Swedish Metallica fans showed up and i hopped on the bike and took off for Gotenborg.
So as it is right now its travel from Dessel Belgium to Milan Italy for Gods Of Metal Fest. Wish I could have been there earlier. Tony Iommi was jammin! He is Black Sabbath guitarist and metal guitar god. After Gods of Metal its a day off for travel to one of my favorite places, Athens Greece. Love greek food! Last Slipknot show I remember in Athens was at Lycabetus Hill. Excellent views of the city from up there on the mountain.
After Athens will round off the final string of shows in Turku Finland, Roskilde Denmark, Belfort France, Lisbon Portugal and Madrid and Barcelona Spain ending July 11. Upon arrival at home Slipkinot will rest and relax before begining a 10 show run in Northwest USA. Corey Taylor has already started work on a solo album with no definite schedule for Stone Sour as of yet. Clown has already began work in the studio with his project band Dirty Little Rabbits…..AND with word from a friend close to Neil Peart, RUSH will most likely begin work on a new album this winter or early 2010. Oh man!! Im so ready for a RUSH tour again. Neil Peart says this will most likely be his last run with RUSH because he doesnt want to be 60-something and still touring. Hoping that somewhere along the way i will catch up with Neil on his bike maybe crossing paths or hell even Neil and Brutus in Europe….Never know….
I wanted to apologize to all that have commented on me and left me messages and to my new friends/maggots on here. not being rude just really been a hectic tour schedule for me….between being at the venues and being on the motorcycle I have just been going nuts. In my spare time I have been mapping out routes and deciding which ways to go.
One of my favorite routes was from Interlaken to Milan. I FINALLY went through Grimsel Pass and Furka Pass on the Beemer. Just excellent views. Quite lonely but a great way to think about things that can be troubling in life. Some of you may have read my past blogs about my motorcycle trips into Alaska and North Canada a few months ago. Just beautiful scenery and excellent time to be alone and think things over. My favorite drummer, Neil Peart of RUSH wrote the book Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road. For me all this traveling on the motorcycle has been like the healing road for me. I know many of you dont know me well enough but over the last 8-9 years of my life I have been alone. I have no kids, no girlfriend, no life….between bands, travel, motorcycle and everything else I do I dont have time to meet women. Besides what woman wants an overweight guy like myself. I seriously have been watching what I eat and hoping to loose more weight in the months to come. I am already doing well right now.
I just wanted you all to know that I wasnt trying to be rude. Just been going through alot between Slipknot and motorcycle. PLUS my laptop got a horrible virus rootkit that I couldnt get rid of. I had to restore the recovery image on my laptop. Acer had to send me a new laptop to replace the one that was giving me issues. thanx to the fact that I said, “im on tour right now and I REALLY need a working laptop” so they overnighted a new one to me at my expense but thats ok. I got the new laptop in the UK where I had it shipped. Was waiting for me!
At first I had taken a SHITLOAD of pictures but lately I just havent really had the urge to take any. I posted my FLICKR page if you still want to add me as a friend. I promise to get more pics up soon! I feel really shitty that on this whole trip I only met up with 2 friends and just havent been alert enough to look through the masses of people for more. I kept my eyes out for many though. one of my friends named Andreas went to the ROCK IM show. was awesome to see him again. I remember when he came to America as a German exchange student. Man we got fucked up drunk alot before he went back home!! LOL he was different this time. had long hair and all when before he was always shaved like I am lol
So anyways thats the scoop with me lately. Sorry for the lack of updates and blogs/pics….i promise to get more up soon! dont delete me as your friend! lol
rock on maggots!

So i called to say hi to my grandmother. She wasnt home. She is staying with my aunt that lives out in Spring TX area. My aunt that answers the phone treats me like shit. As if I had done something wrong. She is rude on the phone. So I just said ok bye.
Seems I come across people with attitudes these days. The woman my father married never liked me. Always treated me like I am shit. Always left me out of any gatherings but always invited her kids to everything. My mothers husband is an asshole. He thinks he is gods gift to women. This is the same guy I beat the shit out of back when I was in high school because he attacked me. Her husband calls me fat fuck, lazy fucker, sissy, pussy, sorry mother fucker….etc….Ive tried giving respect to him but how can i when I get treated like shit? I do nothing and he calls me names. im never around!
Im SICK of it all. Im sick of people taking advantage of me. Its partially my fault for letting people get to me and letting them use me but I am tired of it and I am not going to put up with this shit anymore. To be honest with you, I really dont have any friends. I mean I have a few but they are always busy. No more guys night out. When my friends do want to go out they want to goto clubs. I HATE clubs. I look like a pathetic loser going to a club at 33.
I guess to people I really dont amount to shit. Everyone treats me like shit. Calls me names, says im fat….I give up. This is why I am always to myself and never around people anymore. This is why motorcycle riding has become my favorite thing to do. I cant even find a girlfriend. Im either to fat or too good or not a bad boy or I dont listen to rap…There is always something wrong with me. I give up. This is why I just feel I will keep to myself. Im sick of wanting people to respect me, like me….My friends on the internet, many are the best of friends. You know who yoou are….Stang, Jenny, Shack, Rich, Cindy, etc….You can make me feel good by saying you are there for me cause I know you are but I dont have the interaction I wish I had with people. Everyone I would want to hang out with is so far away.
Seeing Europe from a motorcycle is awesome. Not many will do this but its worth the time and effort. When I put the key in the bike and start her up I am at peace with myself. I enjoy the scenery. Seems this is the only way i can have any solace in my life. I just feel like everyone fucking hates me but I dont know why. Once again, those of you can comment on this and say you dont hate me and that matters but I think you have to see it from another point of view, the people i interact with. My family treats me like they hate me. My mother chooses her husband over me. He calls me names and she says nothing. My family wrote me off. My ex-gf is one of the only friends I have but I still love her and I cant have her. I can’t find a woman to date. I honestly give up with life. Fuck life…..”Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for, dont belong dont exist, dont give a shit, dont ever judge me” – Surfacing – Slipknot
Got lost again but in France this time
well, my Acer laptop went dead. bought it back in Nov 2008. Its been a great laptop but the other day it just quit working! whoa! Booted up fine. I shut it down and when i went to get back on it, it just turned on but nothing on the screen. No beeps, nothing…It did bluescreen a few times before I turned it off last time. The BSOD code came up with memory error…..
So I figured to just get more memory but I ended up getting it replaced through Acer! They fucking rock. its even the newer model and is an inch bigger in size. 10 inch screen instead of the one I had with 9 inch. Also has a 160GB hard drive instead of the 120 i had in the other one. Still 1GB of RAM but I really dont need much. Its not for gaming for sure. Just minimal usage.
so thank god its being replaced!
The last string of shows begins in Germany Saturday. Rock AM Ring and Rock IM Park shows are already setup and ready for the masses. If you are going to either show, have fun. M&G winners keep a lookout for your 2nd confirmation email and be ready for the madness.
Miss out now and it will be a long while before you see Slipknot again. Corey Taylor is already in works for his solo album and Shawn Crahan “Clown” is already recording material for his bands album. Never a dull moment in the Slipknot camp and outside of it as well.
\m/
