Saturdays and Sundays are the slowest days of the week for my website.
So it makes me want to slack off and not do a post. Yet, I know that Jonas gets off of work on Friday night and he says he always checks my post. He's one of the few people that I know that actually reads what I write before he goes to bed. I know a couple of others but not many.
I'm torn. Do I rack my brain and try to come up with something entertaining?
OR
Do I just try to bullshit long enough to fill enough space until it seems like it's more of a post than it really is?
Hmmmm....
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

On occasion here I have mentioned that I rarely drink. Usually, I just say that I don't drink because it's easier to just say that I don't drink instead of explaining that I will do a shot for a special occasion but the only time I drink to get drunk is on my birthday. My birthday is in 3 weeks, Thursday May 9th. The only reason I'm mentioning this now is because I have a "gift" in mind.
All I really want is this... I want every woman I know to dress like a catholic school girl. Plaid skirts and white shirts. Plus if you know any woman, that would like an excuse to dress up like a catholic school girl, please encourage them to come along.
I feel the need to mention something now even though it 3 weeks away because I really want to pull this off and I want to make sure everyone knows. Don't worry, I'll remind you closer to the date.
Now I want this to happen for a couple of reasons:
1. Every guy I know likes to see women dressed up as catholic school girls. It's hard wired into our brains.
2. It will be surreal. I already know 6 or 7 women who said they would do it. If I could get 20 or 30 women all dressed as catholic school girls... Any stranger that walked into the bar would remember it for the rest of their lives. They would wonder what kind of bizzaro world they fell into where all women are catholic school girls. It would be fantastic!
I am serious! God Damn it! That is what I want!
Good Night, Good Morning, dream of hordes of catholic school girls.

I have to go into work early today to go to a meeting. Monday there was another meeting covering the same subject during my normal schedule, but since I spent Monday bent over a toilet I have to go into work early today. Not really a big deal but it does mean that I need to go to bed a little earlier than normal. Which is usually pretty difficult for me. But it's 2:22AM and here I am.
I bought a CD the other day from this band called Flogging Molly. If you're into the Irish Rock/Punk sort of thing like the Pogues or the Drop Kick Murphy's you should check them out.
I'm going to take a moment and whine about something that is really a minor problem of my own making. I got an CD MP3 player for my car. Now the problem is that one CD holds a shitload of MP3's. I've been having trouble putting together a CD that has all good music on it. The easy thing is to rip a whole CD to MP3's and drop it on to the CD-ROM but most CD's have only a number of really good songs. Which means I'm going to have to manually go through all of this music, pick and choose the best songs, even though I don't really know the names of the best songs and then organize them in a way on the CD-ROM so that I might be able to find a certain song when I want to listen to it.
I guess if that's my biggest problem, then I have nothing to complain about.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Let me get this out of the way before I get to the good stuff. There are these people who are trying to find out if there would be interest in showing a series of “classic” movies at a drive-in in the Greater Louisville area. If you think it would be a good idea, sign their petition.
I got this email yesterday:

Subject: Whats this all about....?
I dont know how i eneded up here, i really couldnt tell you, but its interested me for days now. I'm trying to guess that you are running some kind of underground labrynth of heavily armed people, prostitutes and monkeys, and tattooed men seem to play a major role. Maybe you could shed some light on what the hell Mr. Quick is and why he is in my browser window.
Thanks in advance, Punkbrad.
Here is a copy of my reply:
My guess why MrQuick is in your browser is that Google seems to like me. I probably get about 40% of my traffic from Google, mostly to my link of the day page. If that’s not the right answer then I can’t help you with that part of your question.
Now as far as “prostitutes” are concerned, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. This may be a derogatory term for the women in some of the pictures I’ve posted on my site. Possibly it may refer to my discussion of strippers on occasion. I personally wouldn’t lump strippers in with “prostitutes”. I do know a couple of people that it has been rumored are “prostitutes”, but I don’t have any concrete information on that.
Monkeys? The only monkey I know of was a stuffed toy monkey that we shot the shit out of at the Knob Creek Gun Range. This is probably where the “heavily armed people” reference comes in, plus a lot of my friends are really into tattoos.
MrQuick.net is my hobby and essentially my censored journal. I try to write something at least a little entertaining everyday. I try to post a link to an interesting or just plain weird site everyday. I also post a picture I took everyday.
Now some people may be offended by the comings and goings of their life being referred to as an “underground labrynth of heavily armed people, prostitutes and monkeys, and tattooed men seem to play a major role.”
I personally found it entertaining and didn’t even consider it to be possibly insulting until I was talking to a few other people about the email I received. I personally don’t find it insulting at all. My friends are heavily armed and they do have lots of tattoos. Now if you’re referring to my female friends as “prostitutes” I’d be offended by that. Since I don’t know you and I don’t know the context of where you came up with that term I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Essentially, MrQuick.net is my life but slightly censored. I put it out there for anyone who is interested to get a peek at.
I’ll finish up by going back to the “why he is in my browser window” question. I really can’t tell you. If what I write or post or link to entertains you I guess that’s reason enough. I do this for me as some sort of creative outlet. I appreciate and I guess I want the audience but I’d probably still be doing this if I was still only getting 10 hits a day
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I spent the day home sick. I think I have some sort of stomach virus and I still feel like shit.
Good Night.

Last night I got a little lazy and since I had just seen Rick Springfield on VH-1's Behind the Music, I was thinking about his song Jessie's Girl. So I put up the lyrics because I like that song.
Well, I got this email that I must admit I found very funny.

ARE YOU PISSED AT ALL YOUR READERS ????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How could you be so cruel.....so vicious.....so downright MEAN .
I have had that fucking Rick Springfield song in my head ALL DAY BECAUSE OF YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you a painful urinary tract infection with a bunion (whatever it is) and a sinus infection and those cracks in your lips that don't heal no matter what shit you slop on them........oh and also I wish you an ingrown hair somewhere very painful for a man.
Your angry fan,
Jewels
hehehheh.
Jewels and I have been exchanging emails off and on for a while and I think she seems pretty cool. At least from someone you really only know from being online. Not that it was my intention to do so, I am glad that I was able to pull such a strong response. I couldn't help but laugh and then chuckle to myself for about 10 minutes after I read the email.
So to Jewels and any other person that I doomed to the same fate, I sincerely and deeply apologize.
I can't promise I won't do it again. I have had Billie Jean by Michael Jackson, going through my head lately.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
Jessie is a friend,
yeah, I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
Yeah and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that
I play along with the charade,
there doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably mute
Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that
Like Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman, where can I find a woman like that
And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time,
wondering what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love supposed to be
Tell me, where can I find a woman like that
You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl, where can I find a woman like that, like
Jessie's girl, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I want, I want Jessie's girl
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
