Name change

[Jeff]

Hey everyone,

I had my member name changed today from Madd Mortigan to Jeff...not to be confused with the very popular "Geoff".

 

Madd Mortigan was a name I used when I used to play Quake online as part of a group of people. Now that I have been on the board for while I realize I am here to stay and I figure just using my name is better because as I have read your posts if I know your name it helps me remember what type of music you prefer, associate a name with a personality, etc.

 

I never did an introduction when I joined back in January. I am from Hudson, WI. My first favorite band and the one band that got me in to music was none other than Duran Duran. It didn't take long before I moved to the genre's we discuss here. My preferred genre is sleaze/glam but I like it all really. Hard to pick a favorite band but if I had to it would be Dangerous Toys. When the grunge took over in the 90's and we didn't have the internet like we do now I lost track of all the great music that came out between then and now. In my search for that old style sound I came across the HH main site and I used that as a resource for awhile and I eventually decided to join the message board.

 

It has been great being a member (though I have to watch my budget now because of all the great music you all find!).

 

Better late than never on the intro, huh?

Check ya...

Don't feel like you need to change your name, probably everyone knows your name since most of us own your CD's, Bob.

 

 

J/K Pete! (I should have mentioned above that I think I am funny and often try to be so but my wife likes to remind me that I am not)

 

 

Cool, another Duran Duran fan from back in the day....I have been meaning to ask my parents what happened to the 3x5 Seven And The Ragged Tiger poster I had in my bedroom as a kid. I'd like to hang it in the living room and see the look on Mrs. Jeff's face when she comes home.

[Jeff]

Cool Jeff, got it taken care of I see. BTW, Dangerous Toys "Screamin' For More" is one of my all time favorite songs!

 

I love that tune as well. I was really disappointed when the Rock Gone Wild went down because I have never seen DT live before.

Oh, and thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the name change. I would have continued to dig around in my profile settings.

Thanks Geoff, yes another one on the board! I enjoy your comments as well especially the ones out on the main site and in particular when you get into the banter with AORFreaky. Good stuff!

I'm the Only One

 

She was my sister and she was sleeping late. She's a lot older than me and at the time she was about to break into films, directing them, so everybody was indulging her. She was the only girl, too. If something didn't work out in her life and she had to come home for a while, it was a big deal. It mattered more than if I fucked up in one way or another. When Kelly was at home you had to creep around the house and keep your voice down even if it was in the middle of the afternoon. Our mother's Canadian - I don't know why I say that, except maybe it helps explain her opinion about Kel: Smarts Needs Special. It was this crappy little phrase that she had made up and it meant that clever people.wow power leveling, People with special talents, need special treatment. Like they have a disease. You have to meet the Canadian side of our family to understand how cute she thinks that phrase is. I remember thinking that it was bullshit when I was fourteen and it still smells bad now. But to my mother, Kelly was this asteroid that had landed in our lives and no one knew how she got there or what size hole she was going to leave. I've never been very good at school, and Pete, our older brother, is the same. Then along comes Kelly. So my mother has us all pussy-footing around like a family mime troupe, waving our hands, taking our shoes off.replica rolex,

 

I'm thinking of a particular morning, I was creeping around trying to make a silent breakfast, opening cupboards quietly, acting like I didn't exist. I'd been doing it for a couple of weeks since Kelly got back. It felt like I'd been doing it my whole life. The situation came about because earlier in the year Kelly had moved in with this guy called Aidan. They bought furniture, the whole works. Then she cheated on him and he left her. Apart from Kelly being back in our house, it was also a shame because Aidan was the only man she ever went out with, before or since, whom I've had any time for whatsoever. Aidan was a top, replica rolex,man, a good guy. The thing I like about him was that he was smart, but he didn't need much of this special treatment. He was Irish, from Dublin, and he could be funny, he could talk football and he liked to see other people's mouths open and close besides his own. It was good knowing someone like him. I needed it; what with dad not being around, Pete married and gone; and me in a house full of women. That was the year I was praying for a few more inches on my height and shaving the bare space under my nose hoping that something might turn up. So it was good to know Aidan, six foot three and hairy as a bear. He was hairy back and front and Kelly would tease him about it, and he would laugh her off or tell her she could do with losing a few pounds which, between you and me, was nothing but the truth. She was a fat little thing back then. And he went and told her, straight-up; didn't care that she was almost, sort of, famous. He told it how it was. That was the way he loved her. She never appreciated it, replica rolex,though, and then she had this fling with some pretty boy in the film industry. But you could see she realised what she'd lost when he left her because she slunk back home and holed herself up in Pete's old room that I'd been using for weights. She took it over and lay in there all day in the dark curled up in a stinking duvet watching old black-and-white films. I remember asking her, 'Why can't you use your own bedroom?' She had a small bedroom upstairs that used to be covered wall to wall in her school friends' graffiti until she went off to university and mum whitewashed the whole thing. I asked her again, 'Why can't you use your own bedroom, that's what it's there for.' She said, 'I can't sleep and work in the same room. I need a study.' She said it as if a study is one of those things you can't do without, like clean water. I said, 'But I need to exercise.' She said, 'You're fourteen. Your body isn't even developed. The only thing you need to do is stop beating the bishop before you go blind.' This was classic Kelly. She always knew how to make you feel four inches long in every direction.

replica rolex,

So she came back, and I had to move out all my weights and spread them around the house wherever there was space. I put the bench press in my room along with the free weights. I put the Abdominizer in the lounge. I stuck the chin-up bar at the top of the stairs which lead down to the front door. And even though I was pissed off with Kelly for taking the spare room, having the weights all over the place did make it more like circuit training and doing circuits made me feel like I was Rocky. It's what they do in the middle of Rocky movies; a two-minute sequence to show that over a number of months he got fit and pumped up. You pray for that kind of speedy, magic-time when you're working out, the same way you wish your adolescence would pass like it does in a TV serial: a school scene, a sex scene and graduation. It's slower and faster than that. And some events become still and solid, and turn into a thing in your life, an object like a lampshade or an ironing board. They hang around; you could reach out and touch them. This day I'm trying to tell you about is like that.

So: my exercise. I'd start in my room, and do about four sets of twenty. Then I'd run downstairs and start on the Abdominizer. If you've never seen one, they're like half of something fun, half a bike

replica rolex, or half a swing. You lie down in them and you do sit-ups. You spend good money trying to make sit-ups something else. In the end, a sit-up is a sit-up. But I'm a big a mug as anyone and I'd try and do two hundred sit-ups in that thing in sets of fifty. The pain was very bad. So I'd think of something that pissed me off, usually Kelly, and the anger would help me push out the last fifty. I wanted to show her that I could develop if I wanted to. Because there was always this thing between her and me that we were both kind of overweight, and always telling the other one that they were obsessed with it.So if Kelly didn't eat lunch,
