Do You Know Your Family History?

Recently, my aunt asked me to get on Ancestry.com. This site has been around for a long time but I finally got into doing this and well….Its interesting and fun to get everyone down in one area. Ive worked on two different trees. One for my mom’s side of the family and another for my father’s. I’m still working on much of it but my aunt decided to pay for it with her credit card so screw it….ill do it! lol…..I started with the 14-Day Free Trial and I think it upgrades to $77 for 6 months after the trial. This gives you access to records like birth, death, marriage and such. Not bad to learn a bit about yourself and family.

Im not trying to promote the site but really trying to say that if you don’t know your family history or just want to sort of electronically document it, this is a nifty way to do so. Since I dont have kids…..well my cats are my kids you know! LOL….There is Heathcliff, Bucky, Garfield, Mia Von Meowz, Schmuck and Kitty. Heathcliff and Schmuck are brothers both born in March of 2011. Both fat large dog scaring cats. Yes they scare dogs! lol.

Anyways, most of the work is done. I have added pictures for about 75% of the families but I still need to get birth years and deaths down to make it more elaborate. Either way its been kinda fun learning about the people I never knew. My grandparents parents and such….Even discovering people that are related but yet we dont really know. —-Insert Witty Things That Make You Go HMMMMMMM–line here lol…

So thats about it with this. Ive spent about 8 hours over the course of 3 days or so working on this total. Not too much but once you get rolling inputting everything is easy. You can work on your Family Trees from your PC, laptop and even Android device. I have Ancestry Android App on my tablet. Below I will include a sample screenshot of what it looks like. The sample is of JFK’s tree. Ill keep my info private for the safety and privacy of my nuts deer hunting thinking everyone should be able to shoot a gun at bambi family! lol

Slipknot, Slayer & Anthrax Tour This Summer in USA; The Maggot Bible

thats right…..all of you psycho fans that thought Slipknot didnt like you anymore or that called them fucking poser mother fuckers because they didnt tour for you…..well, minus me on the crew Slipknot is touring again this summer 2012 on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem 2012 Tour. Lots of bands. Personally for me after 10+ years of touring with bands, im glad I made a change because touring with wild metal bands for months on end wasn’t for me anymore. Hey we all get older and change our minds on life decisions.

So anyways yes, Slipknot is touring again and NO Paul has not been replaced but yes there will be a bassist playing his parts. If your a big fan then you know about all of this already from the Euro dates. The tour begins June 30 in CA and ends August 5th at Comcast Center in Hartford. I could actually sit here and just list all the bands on this tour but really if your that interested in it….i’d rather you just head on over to the tour homepage at:

http://rockstarmayhemfest.com/

You will get all the info you need on tour dates, bands, venue info, purchasing tickets and more. Tickets for this big fiasco of a tour go ON SALE APRIL 6.

If many of you are just becoming aware of this tour with Slipknot I would suggest signing up for Slipknot’s Outside the Nine Fan Club where you can get info before it is released to the public. I really no longer have any info on Slipknot, sorry! I might try to make it out to a show to say “what the fuck is up bros!” Who knows. Depends on my schedule by then.

Also if you dont know, Shawn, Clown, is working on a project called The Maggot Bible. This project consists of pics, entries and such all from you fans. This has been an ongoing project since last summer. Many have submitted to Shawn so if you would like to possibly see yourself or your submission in this book send your stuff off. He will send you a release form for the permission to use your info if your work is selected. This is the ONLY address for correspondence. Anything else is bullfucking shit. This IS Shawn’s Official PO BOX for you work. If you are interested in submitting anything from stories, photos, tattoos or anything Slipknot related please hit Shawn up by sending him your submissions to:

The Maggot Bible

P.O. Box 94

Ok thats about it. Hope you psycho maggots get your tickets. If your not a Slipknot fan well you still can go see Slayer and Anthrax. This tour cannot be missed. You have half of the Big Four on this tour! Sorry no Metallica and Megadeth on this ride. So anyways, thats about it on this subject. My next post will be about Random Favorites. Yes my random favorites on shit I like. Figured I would do something different. I mean Katy Perry doesn’t have us on the road anymore =( …..ooooooh well ok I have one other tidbit I might post before the favs one.

Stay tuned…….

Here’s a random photo to end this post! =)
