Auld Lang Syne

Let us say goodbye to 2006 and welcome in 2007....



Nothing says "Happy" like a Melyssa Ford picture.... yessir...

Anyway, it's been a helluva year and damn if it didn't go by fast. So, here's to all of you and your families - Happy New Year and may 2007 treat you 1000x better than 2006.

**Ahem**

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
And surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS

We two have run about the hills,
and pulled the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine (dinner time) ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

Peace to all.... see you in 2007....

A bit of sad news...

First and foremost, I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday. Mine was just what I wanted 99% - quiet time with the wife. We had a very relaxing day after hearing some sad news.

The Godfather has gone home...

James Brown, the Godfather of Soul passed away early today. He was 73. Brown was hospitalized Sunday at Emory Crawford Long Hospital with pneumonia and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday.

To say that he will be missed is an understatement. James Brown was quite possibly the single most influential artist of all time. He has influenced R&B, Funk, Soul, and even Hip-Hop. The man was known as one of the hardest working people in show business. I can't believe the Godfather is gone...

Peace, y'all. Me? I'm going to listen to the man... I'll catch y'all later. Give you the skinny on my stash and what trouble I got into today...heh heh...

Happy Holidaze...

First off, a lil' jokey joke...

Check out Santa Claws...



Get it? "Santa Claws"? Santa Claus... ahhh, forget it....

Anyway, my column over at the Here & There should be up soon. I'm going to add a permanent link here anyway. Also, starting January 1st, any post that I do over at The War Journal I will post here also.

EFX has lately become a little hazardous for some of my people and rather than have them be bothered, they just come here, grab a seat on the couch or love seat, sip some wine or whatever, and listen to some sweeet jazz while reading what mess has escaped from my deluded mind.

Now, y'all have a happy holiday and treat the kids nice. Remember....

Slade luvs da kids....

Peace and blessings, children....

I'm around

I figured I'd better update this sucker given recent events at my other home. Plus, more and more of my people are migrating back to blogger. I'll never give up Slade's Place. It's come to be that old home that's familar and where I ultimately will go lie down for awhile, rest my bones, listen to some primo tunes, and get ready for battle once more.

So, if all of that just passed you by, I'll make it easy for you...

Daddy's home....
