Text of the page (random words):
is solo career to me black sabbath was this band from the past that wasn t really relevant today this was hammered home by my encounter with graffiti i had to clean off of a chair in my high school i was a janitor remember that said black sabbath rules the world a couple of coworkers happened to wander by snorted and one of them said derisively they need to put an album out first first an album next the world the other quipped it was only much later in the 1990s when i began listening to black sabbath and realizing that hey they weren t half bad after all still ozzy had penetrated into the national consciousness through the satanic panic i didn t put any credence in all of the claims i played rpgs and wasn t about to sacrifice small animals to satan after all but plenty of people did ozzy even found himself in the then popular comic strip bloom county from the 1987 compilation book billy and the boingers bootleg page 80 by berke breathed from the 1987 compilation book billy and the boingers bootleg page 81 by berke breathed yes i was a bloom county fan and yes i had all of the compilation books here s the proof i still have the floppy record that came with the book in case you wondered what the songs sound like here s one of them courtesy of youtube over the years my interest in heavy metal waned but i still have a soft spot for heavy metal from the 70s and 80s and what it meant to my own personal declaration of independence as an adult while the bloom county cartoons played up for amusement the concept that ozzy was just a regular guy playing around with heavy metal the reality that came out decades later was that he pretty much was just a regular guy after all and his ozzy persona was just an act yesterday the news broke that hulk hogan had also passed away and with that another chunk of my youth vanished i wasn t that much of a world wrestling federation fan as i used to watch the rival organization world championship wrestling the home of dusty rhodes and nature boy ric flair but you couldn t not be aware of wwf and it s biggest star hulk hogan among the wwf pantheon i cheered more for andre the giant than hulk but hulk was the face of the wwf there s no denying that this was at the end of andre s career when he turned bad and wrestled against hulk in 1987 from the detroit news to be clear i wasn t one of the pro wrestling fans around school who were so far down the rabbit hole that they subscribed to one of several wrestling magazines but i was enough of a fan that i could at least hold my own with those hardcore fans the fans fell into two camps those who loved hulk and those who hated him most people loved him but there were a few contrarians who preferred hulk s enemies such as rowdy roddy piper instead but that golden era of wrestling is fading from memory hulk is just the latest to pass away as dusty rhodes andre the giant randy savage rowdy roddy piper george the animal steele and the iron sheik are all gone finally overshadowed by hulk hogan s passing was also the passing of chuck mangione you know the feels so good guy this is the full version the radio edit singles version can be found here if you re of the right age you couldn t avoid feels so good it was all over the radio and it helped to drive the soft rock radio format to greater heights the irony was that while i heard it on radio all the time my parents listened to soft rock after all my biggest memory of feels so good tied into our first color television set that first saturday we had the sears color television around the house i woke up and went downstairs to turn on the tv it was pretty early in the day and before the saturday morning cartoons came on so i flipped to one of the independent or pbs stations i can t remember which and suddenly there was a video of the sun rising on my screen with feels so good playing as an accompaniment being one of the first color tv images i ever saw at home that moment was etched indelibly in my mind over the years i grew to appreciate chuck s jazz output and his loyalty to his hometown of rochester and the eastman school of music of whom he was an alum and an instructor i learned much later that chuck was also an alum of art blakey s jazz messengers of whom he played alongside keith jarrett all three of them had left an indelible imprint on my youth maybe it wasn t the three themselves that i remember most but what they represented rebellion guilty pleasures and the music my parents listened to still it feels weird to be reminded of my past only when that past is permanently lost to us in an ironic twist at times like these i m reminded of this little segment from george carlin george s stand up comedy hasn t always aged very well but in this case it actually has the entire video is worth watching but i highlighted this one specific bit at the 4 55 mark note to self google doesn t like it if i try to embed youtube videos at a specific time marker the first was twisted sister s stay hungry yes really and still do today just to be clear about it if people give them half a chance these devout folks would attempt to eradicate satanic music and books once more after all look at all the attempts to ban books and media today cancel culture is not simply a thing on the political left posted by redbeard at 2 00 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels comic heavy metal music musings pro wrestling self videos wednesday july 23 2025 a few changes well i can say that i m getting closer to getting a mount on a few accounts yes hoots is holding a two handed sword standings as of july 23 2025 another thing i can say is that of the eight toons i ve been leveling the slowest two have been the feral druid and the holy priest it s not that i had issues with playing them it s that it takes a while for them to kill anything and let s be honest it s a bit difficult to level a healer if you don t go into group content and i really had no intention of taking shaluna into instances from the get go i have gotten better at healing since my original days leveling quintalan back in 2009 2010 but i ve seen enough bad behavior by tanks and dps in the pugs i ve been in that i just look at healing random groups and give it a hard pass did somebody say bad behavior how about a mage who didn t buff casters or hunters or provide water or food to the same i was on hoots at the time so i could understand the hunter part because if you only played retail before coming to the anniversary servers you might not realize that hunters use mana in vanilla classic but not even buffing the healer until they repeatedly asked for it or even asking if people need water or food that s borderline criminal a paladin tank in a later instance commented after i mentioned that mage s behavior i was offended because i main a mage i replied before you suggest the obvious that perhaps that mage didn t understand english he commented several times in chat in the instance run so yes he knew english well enough he just wasn t interested but yeah after watching behavior like that or a tank just continuously rushing forward while i and the healer were sitting back drinking i think i much prefer being dps and not dealing with stress inducing behavior as a healer or a tank for that matter whenever my questing buddy bitches about pugs when she s a tank or healer i totally understand it doesn t stop me from needling her since we first met in a pug but i understand where she s coming from okay i m sure that somebody out there might be wondering why i just don t group up with my friends to run a few instances or so there s one big problem there nobody seems to be at the levels my toons are at and if they are because they re leveling an alt they shoot right on past me very quickly because they re using one of their max level toons to boost each other for example my questing buddy borrows her husband s mage whom she also leveled by boosting him with her own mage alt and then levels those alts by boosting the other thing is that i m leveling 8 toons at once so even if they were just leveling by questing they d naturally pull ahead even though they re raiding and doing other things on their mains on a regular basis i ve been told that once i reach l50 my friends intend to nab me and chain run instances until i get to max level and no i m not happy about that so i m starting to think that i might slow down my logging in when i reach l49 or so on toons i hate carries in other news aq40 is already done and open and the 12 hour war has passed us on the anniversary server this caught me by surprise because i figured that at least a few more guilds would have worked to get scarab lord for toons but it could also have been that one guild was being an asshole about it and rushing ahead to get scarab lord solely for themselves when i heard that there was some qiraji fighting going on at gadgetzan i hopped on a flight down there and promptly discovered that it wasn t exactly the safest place for an underleveled hunter shortly after i took that screenshot a respawn happened with me too far away from the flightpoint so i rushed back to try to escape with predictable results my friends group did what they usually do and gave me some crap about it but i gave as much as i got for the record the ones giving me the most crap were all women i guess that means that by early october people will be ready to move on to naxx oh and i guess i ought to mention one more thing given how slow the holy priest and feral druid are progressing i m going to start leaving them behind a bit i might also do that to the shadow priest but we ll see i m not giving up on them completely but i have tried to keep all 8 toons together and i think i m ready to keep 5 6 of them in the same range instead of my current modus operandi given that two of them weren t going into instances and the druid was mainly going to be used as an herbalist and skinner that s not necessarily a bad thing i ll just keep plugging away and see how things progress since i ve never played hunters until now i never knew that hunters had their bar changed from mana to focus akin to a rogue s energy in retail it took the impending and now current mists classic release for me to realize that eta fixed some

design last night and it s pretty out of date well not the overall design since that s pretty much a blog design in a nutshell but more like the references are dated and ought to be revamped geek and sundry that place kind of imploded when founder felicia day and then critical role left the about me section hoo boy is that dated some parts of the blog design i can t get around blogger s limitations such as it s inability to provide the latest youtube content in the same way that you receive blog feed content you d think that google owning both blogger and youtube would want better integration in the same way that google worked but nooo still i m not giving up on the platform right now i just need to freshen this place up a bit yeah there went my motivation from cheezburger posted by redbeard at 6 00 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels parallel context wednesday july 16 2025 a return to the glory years i was getting on one of my toons on the anniversary servers when my questing buddy whispered me and asked if i could join her in exploring aq40 in retail for a bit i knew that the lead in to the opening of aq40 formally known as the temple of ahn qiraj had begun on the anniversary servers and she wanted to poke around inside to make sure she had the cadence of the raid down having actually completed aq40 before she could pick my brains a bit as needed what do you need i asked thinking of the retail toons that could get into aq40 doesn t matter which faction doesn t matter because cross faction grouping so i hopped on neve who was simply loitering around silvermoon city ported to orgrimmar and then took a flight down south i had to make some adjustments to the ui however yikes that was embarrassing i felt it wasn t going to be that big of a deal only there was one thing you ll have to timewalk a bit she informed me do i need to do that i haven t played neve since mists yeah you will the giant sword is in the middle of silithus what sword the irony which i called out midway through the raid was that she was on a draenei warrior and i was on a blood elf mage tbc forever i said yes this is the same gear neve wore when i last ran a bg with her in cataclysm or thereabouts my questing buddy s warrior was significantly higher level than neve because neve was still at l32 where she landed after the level squish going from l85 down to l32 and with the mobs there around l31 or so my aggro radius was pretty broad on more than one occasion i d be typing something in and i d get shellacked by a mob that wandered vaguely close to me even when i behaved myself and hid away from the fight such as the final fight against c thun one of his tentacles magically appeared in front of me and tossed me into his inside where i died quickly story of my life dying to c thun obviously one shotting mobs and bosses don t give you a good feeling of how the fights really progress and so i was just there to bounce my experiences off of her however i believe she s going to have a bit harder of a time of it in spots than we did in the fall of 2020 you have to be able to decurse here so casters can t just sit at the top and then dps you need to put them on the stairs so they can reach people for decursing that means me because our mages don t decurse i was pretty disgusted at that behavior you do what you can to help the raid if they behave like that they ll die very quickly in naxx let alone here still for a brief diversion it was fun i really didn t do terribly much other than comment on how much things had changed such as the blizzard spell behaving completely differently in retail versus classic and how you could now us...
