ack

being awake is for the birds. I didnt sleep but maybe three hours, and i got a full day ahead of me. sweet. on top of that, my lingering sickness if heading into the final, grueling stages today.
waaaah.
and thats all for whining.

while laying awake, i was struck by a strange question. let me know if you have ever pondered the same thing, cause i cant be the only one:

What is Hank Williams, Jr. doing right now?

for those of you who dont know, HW jr is the son of Hank Williams
(der)
and a country music "sensation" he is the one who sings the monday night football theme with a grab bag of music "stars"

and hes a suth'ren boy

This is him at his finest. Sadly, this is not an overstatement.

Im not sure what the flag is implying, but i think its a cheesy come on.

Anyway, in thinking about his whereabouts and activities, i decided hes sitting somewhere drunk on pabst, firing a pistol in a kitchen to kill a rat. Its also probably not his house.

Another location i placed him at mentally was at a bad restaurant. Probably buffet, possibly here:

and becoming livid when the can't actually serve him what the marquee suggests: "The Chicken pork salmon" He goes on a rampage, and there are no survivors.

Lastly, he is doing something domestic, like picking up his dry cleaning. Except its this beauty:

He's worn this coat for a season's worth of hard-hitting, smash-mouth football. Its about time he got it cleaned. Plus the Kansas City chiefs decal is starting to come off.

God, im gonna miss football.

I love that picture, cause its not often that Rick Nielsen of cheap trick gets to be the coolest person around. In fact, save for ?uestlove hanging out in the room, Rick is the coolest person around for about 500 yards on this occasion. Savor it.

I'm gonna go fight my cold with cheap beer and hot showers.

Keep it real?
