Helmet - Unsung
As I sit here, festering in my own animosity, I listen to Helmet's Greatest Hits "Unsung". *Wavy lines wavy lines* Im going on a trip down memory lane......
I was turned onto this band by a friend of mine, who was part of my Youth Group at the church I attended at the time. He handed me a tape, I know, it dates me, but it was a compilation tape, and this band was on there. Helmet. How do I explain their music, for those that have never heard of them. Well, they are hard..... Hard rock. On a trip with the youth group, Don Stone as the youth pastor. Good guy, just never returns emails...LOL Anyways, sitting on the bus I heard this band, and it really got me going. Hard rock, loud and screaming, but not screaming. Its hard to explain. Anyways, I really enjoyed that band. Had a tape, and lost it some where among the numerous moves that I made. Probably got stolen in the house that I lived in, that would be equal to a crack house. No, crack wasnt sold there or consumed there, but it was close enough, next door.
I remember it like yesterday. Traveling in the bus, slooooow bus. But it was cool. Spent most of the time just listening to the compelation tape. So anyways, after I was craving Helmet, I realized that I lost the tape. Boo hoo for me. So I finally found them on CD, but they had broken up at least 5 years ago. But really, who cares about Helmet....
What a night. Let me tell you. I work 8 hrs at a place that has nothing for me to do. Im at an off site place, as part of the contract that my company has with them, so Im just basically a peon that does nothing. The last 3 or 4 people that held my position, Network Administrator, were "taken" by NOAA, a government company that we provide support for. Normally we provide personel for support but there has to be a floater, which, you guessed it, is what I am, for NOAA.
I like the people there, and the person who runs the show there is really cool. She doesnt micro manage or anything like that. However, every time I ask for something to do, they are "too busy" to provide me with anything. I have been there for the past two weeks, except for Monday and Tuesday, cuz of my back.
*sigh*
Had so much more written but oh well.
Life goes on.
