Again with the whining!

If you've ever seen Futurama, picture the character Zoidberg saying "Again with the whining"...

I suppose, I like the humor, and like to get the feedback & jokes when talking about movies & stupid TV shows...

Last night, it was getting late for my kids to try and watch a full 90 minute show, so we watched our favorite parts of "Nacho Libre".

I know... Stupid movie, eh?  Well, when you start bouncing your favorite/funny things about shows like that, it makes for an enjoyable time... If you're kinda like me.

Wow... perhaps, I'm going to start doing better now...

Up to about 5 minutes ago, I was really feeling bitchy & like I was going to be a "grumpy lord of the crumpets" today.

Now, I am feeling better... Almost euphoric... I suppose Caffiene and some Tylenol is helping out.

Congestion down the colon highway is down to a minimum again, and I suppose that too is helping me feel better too.

That, and prior to typing, I started playing Steve Martin's "The Crow" banjo MP3's... I really enjoy his music.. Yes, Steve Martin, the actor is also a Banjo player.

For those of you who are in your 20's or early 30's, you probably don't remember that Steve Martin used to play banjo while doing his stand up comedy.  If his jokes started to bomb, he'd play... If his playing was getting bombed, he'd tell jokes.

His playing is pretty awesome, and he can not only play 3-Finger, Bluegrass style, he can also play ClawHammer/Frailing.  I can't do clawhammer/frailing...  I like the idea, but I really prefer the speed/sound of the Bluegrass.

Due to this Steve Martin album, several years I finished up my banjo prototype that I started building many years before that. I was only building it to build it... For fun.

Well, now I have a banjo that I bought from a coworker for about $50, that only needed a bit of repair, that I play now.  It's worth closer to $100/$150 now that I fixed it.

My youngest daughter wanted a banjo built, so that she could learn. (She was 7 or 8 at the time)... So I built her one with a solid purple heart neck, with a small crown at the top. (Yes, literally a crown shape cut out of the top of the peg head... Perhaps I'll post pictures someday.)

Well, I suppose that's it for now.

I'm feeling better, so I better get the stuff for work done that I promised by boss I'd get done soon.
