Hey gang! It's been a long week full of diaper changes long hours at the job, and Russia's gift to the planet: Vodka. It hasn't been a bad week, but I can tell you that my head's in a scramble. No particular reason. Maybe it's the changin' of the seasons...maybe it's because of those dancin' shows all over my TV set? I ain't mad at em.
I got myself a new computer. One of those fancy Imac things. I'm still getting used to the whole thing, but that's only because I've been a PC.
Me and my bike are far apart tonight. I'm thinkin' about going to get her. She'll be mad too. I forgot her. Well, not so much forgot, as much as I abandoned her and got into a car with a woman. Hey, don't get yourself warm....we ain't did nothin'. Ooh, she's probably paint peelin' mad right now, sitting in that cold, dark, loading dock in Hollywood. Don't worry baby! I'm comin'! Maybe I'll stop off and pickup some batteries for her lil' headlight. Yeah...she'd like that, I bet.
While I'm out lookin' for my baby...please enjoy this Hank Williams record and have yerself a little drink. It's called "A Tribute to Hank. Volume 2"
Well hello there my babies! It looks like the gray cloud has lifted and I'm up to my old tricks again. No, I haven't won any lottery and I didn't get a raise. I'm just not sad today. I swear, riding a bicycle is a cure-all for the blues. The wind in your face...the cars coming at you...it's rad!
Also, drinking liquor has been proven to put a smile on ya pretty effectively....yeah!
I haven't mentioned it here because I tend to forget to mention things like this, but I've started making little mixtapes again. Normally I play pretty rockin' stuff, but for this series of compilations I've been taking it a little slow. Could it be because my target demographic are divorced women between the ages of 54 and 73? Sure is!
The statement above is not true at all, but hopefully those chicks'll dig what I'm shovellin'...
I use the name Dirty Carl because back when I lived in New York and was basically the owner of busted up bar stools all over the city, Dirty Carl was my alter ego. Watch out for that guy...he'll stick a finger up ya...and move it around too!

And because I'm always wiling to tell you more... Here is the trailer for the very first movie I ever saw in a theater. It was in the Bronx...not sure if it was in 3-d, but they gave us 3-d glasses at the window.
To be honest, I've been depressed. Don't worry...I'm not Emo or fond of cutting. I've just preferred to quietly drink alone for the past month or so. Part of it is because I seem to be operating on little to no cash, but that'll all change once I can get this damn time machine to work. So far the damn thing is only capable of somehow transporting me into the stomach region of John Belushi. What gives? It stinks in there!
Please leave comments so I know that I'm not just serving these tunes to lurkers.
I'm happy to know that at the end of the day I've helped these musicians find a little attention, no matter how small.
Also, don't just sit at home downloading all the time...go out and BUY RECORDS!
If anyone has an issue with what I'm doing here, be a gem and let ME know first instead of doing something unkind.
* I have just learned that there is another person on the internet that has the name Ohrobot. He seems like a nice guy, but alas... he is not me and I am not him. We will co-exist because the world is a big place. My only presence on the web is this site. I do not tweet, facebook, myspace, or anything of the sort. This is where I am. Always. Rad.
