GOING CRAZY!!

A VERY quick post, just to let you know I'm still here. I am currently staring vacantly at an abysmal performance by the Raiders, at home against the Chargers. Oakland are getting stomped, they don't seem to know what to do with the ball when they get it, and to top it all off ......... I am trying to quit smoking and haven't had a cigarette in four days!!!! You can imagine the mood I am in tonight!

Leon - No thoughts on Supernova really. I think Lucas suits those guys, and I also think Dave has been great on the occasion that I've watched it. Love all the drama surrounding the show, though!!!

Daniel - Seems you've figured out the V-Blog thing (subscribe to I-Tunes is the easiest fix), but just to let you know I haven't changed the way I do them. They just got bigger!! Which means they take WAY longer to download!! Sorry!!

I intend to enjoy the quiet time right now, cos next month will be full of the usual fun and games. So I seem to be hanging out, buying way too much shit from Ebay (check out the pic of all the Vivienne Westwood purchases I've made recently ..... HAVE to stop that NOW!!) and watching movies. Paul keeps emailing me links to other squiggle tops, and I keep bidding on them!! Still waiting for two more to arrive from this weeks purchases - anyone spying these kind of shirts knows who to call. (no, not Ghostbusters ..... ME!!!) Also been playing video games - Black on PS2 and Saints Row on X-Box 360. Thats it from me - cannot believe that this season has started just like last years ended ..... RUBBISH!!!

Peace

Billy

Good luck with the no smoking, wish I could manage it...but there ya go.
You are not the only one stuck on ebay and buying to much, Lisa and I spend way too much time and money on there (mostly Lisa) Trouble is she gets me to go on there and see what she is bidding on, and I end up pointing out more things to her.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to go on quitting smoking! GOOD LUCK! I wish I could.

Raiders? Puleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze! DOLPHINS baby! (though Dante look like shite against the Steelers)

As for Ebay I'm waiting for a pair of Doc Martens to be delivered! There must be a group therapy for people like us ;-)

Good luck to you Billy.

If my Dallas Cowboys play the way they did on Sunday I may START smoking!

Posted by: Beth at September 12, 2006 09:08 AM

WooHoo...look at all the fellow cowboy fans! Can we chant together, ROMO ROMO ROMO ROMO...

Billy, Good luck with the smoking.

Question, as a Rock Star, are you able to write off expenditures like your expensive shirts, and the jeans you are always talking about on CFR as business related? ya know wardrobe? Have always wondered...

Amazing job on the four days!!!! I'm quitting today, and Brett told me yesterday that he quit this weekend. We CAN DO IT, Billy!

Posted by: Theresa at September 12, 2006 12:51 PM

Incredible job not smoking Billy...you inspire me! And remember, you're allowed to cheat as long as you still come home to mama ; )

Loving the v-blogs...please keep 'em coming...you're beautiful to watch...

I'm waiting for a Japanese 'minty mint' (hee hee) doll to be delivered, and I'm getting impatient...

Raiders? Chargers? Dolphins? Cowboys?

How about some real football where they don't have to where all that Nancy boy padding and helmets. And where the players actually run for more than 15 seconds at a time before taking a break or leaving the field for oxygen. I'm talking Rugby League my friends! It's finals time down here, so a very exciting part of the season. Go you mighty Sea Eagles! And go the Swans in the Aussie Rules!

Billy - whilst I've never smoked, a good mate of mine says its easy...he's done it hundreds of times :)

Hey Billy!

Have been following your blog for a couple of months and decided to drop you a line..

How about a Morrison biografi? I mean, I've picked up bits and pieces from CFR, v-blogs and so on - but I still feel pretty poorly infromed:)

I've been following the development of Circus Diablo, and it got me thinking 'this is awesome -but who is that rockin' dude up front?' I don't suppose you start a band with Dave Navarro and Matt Sorum either, just coming in from the street (But if you do - wanna start a band?:)

Your music rocks and your dedication to the fans seems to be pretty outstanding - two things that always catches my attention.

Oh, and as for the hot topic in this thread; health issues, vocal issues - or just....reasoning? (I know I could use that - I'm sitting here with a cigarette in my hand..)

Congrats on giving up the cigarettes Billy. It's tough but I know you can do it.

Well the Eagles won their first game of the season, but I'm sure that'll change. This is Philly, where apparently the sports teams live to disappoint us. Go figure.

4 days with no cigarettes? That's great!


Well Billy regarding football you could always move to Atlanta because the Falcons are smoking hot!

Posted by: Terri at September 13, 2006 03:42 PM

Hang in there on the not smoking Billy... it'll be so worth it the next time you're up there with Circus Diablo.

Which btw, anytime you want to swing up this way to play I'd be more than happy to give you guys a place to stay or a closet hang all those squiggle shirts in... :-P

Posted by: flamingheart at September 13, 2006 10:50 PM

did she just call those westwoods.. squiggle shirts?..lol

Posted by: rain at September 13, 2006 10:56 PM

if you ever think of smoking or crave it so bad stick on a tape of that awful advert with all the white shit pouring out of the cigarettes i don't know if you've seen it but its real sick and on in the uk.

Posted by: Super at September 14, 2006 07:27 AM

Posted by: paul at September 14, 2006 09:13 AM

How's the no-ciggie thing goin'?? So frickin' proud of you !!!! Quitting is a helluva ride, but so well worth it. Been there, done it, glad to be done. I gained back an octave after about 5 years, so that's a good thing!

Posted by: Kate at September 14, 2006 08:36 PM
