Looks like we made it. Saints by 6.

What a week. The little childrens have all finally fucked off back to school, your Uncle Jon hit a bit score betting that the Boise/Virginia Tech game would stay within three points, and the new Great Outdoors album should be in my hot little hands later this week. (Actually, my hands are cold, clammy, and abnoramally large (Hello, ladies…). But I digress.)

I think I will get high, go to the playground, and take my pick of free swings.  Ah, September – you really are the most wonderful time of the year.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

Back to school. Yee-fucking-haw. Your Uncle Jon’s favourite time of year. And not just because I live two blocks from a Catholic girls’ school. This is the day I finally get to sleep in again, undisturbed by the sound of children laughing and playing at the ungodly hour of 11am. Damn hooligans.

Phoning. It. In.

Got to get to watching Sons of Anarchy Season 2 on DVD. I love it, but it fills me with regret. I should have been smart, followed in my father’s footsteps, and joined a motorcycle gang way back when instead of trying to make a career out of music. I would be so much further ahead. And, ironically, would have dealt with less douche bags and criminals along the way. Such is life.

End of summer? Bad. Start of football season? Makes it all better.

One week until the first NFL kick-off. Saints and Vikings. Grampa Favre will hobble out to the field for (hopefully) the last time. Seriously, I am all about cheering for the old dudes, but somebody drop this beotch. I am tired of it.

Saints by a touchdown. There is your first lock of the year. Bet the proverbial farm, kids.

Don’t let the word ‘September’ get you down; there are still three weeks of summer left. Make the most of them doing things like going to the beach, hosting barbeques, drinking blackberry mojitos on patios with barely legal tarts in summer dresses, and, of course, doing your goddamned disc mail-outs for your record label. Your Uncle Jon hates mail-outs. Someone get me a mojito. And a barely legal tart.

Perhaps one of my many followers (read: 16 followers) has noticed that I am no longer including a headline, just the date now. That is due to nothing more than a lack of creativity. Get used to it. Your Uncle Jon has a lot more where that came from. 

Also been asked by everyone at the label if I could “tone it down with the tarts”. (You know it was RC that said that. No one else talks like such a dandy. Except Wegelin.) Anyways, since we have these two huge albums coming out, they are worried about new visitors to the site and the impression they will be left with. I told those cats the impression people will get is that we are fucking cool. But my little women’s studies group doesn’t see it that way. So yeah, I am toning it down for a bit. But just temporarily. Then I will come back strong… strong and tartier than ever.

Grant writing all f-ing weekend. Something I wouldn’t have to do if one of my bands made some money. So yeah, because of their shortcomings, you get a short post today. Blame them.

Before I go, I should mention that the winner of last week’s ‘Name the Adult Actress’ contest was none other than premier Gordon Campbell who wrote in the correct answer: Lucy Lee. Unfortunately for old Gordo, he won’t be receiving the prize of a new Kingsway release and new Great Outdoors release. Why? Because douche bags are exempt from winning DDG contests (that’s why I never bother to enter).

Better luck next week kids. Your last entry is pictured above.
