Paige with a Twelve Gage

By: Liana Kathleen Davis A.K.A Lustrous Kindle Defender

 Her name is Paige

She owns a twelve gage

Having her own show

She will vivaciously glow

On her own glamorous stage

 You’d better not disappoint her

Cause if you even dare

You’ll stand still in a stare

Watching stars go round and round

Without making a sound

She will lock you up in a cage

And show you her mighty rage

Teasing you with her twelve gage

 Don’t let her do such a thing

Cause there’s no joy to bring

But the song, “NIGHTMARE” to sing

Whether or not you’re wearing a ring

Be careful, she might make you fall

She will push you up against the wall

Still teasing you with her twelve gage 

Do you dare be afraid?

You never can tell with Paige

She may just start her own little charade

Getting serious with that damn twelve gage 

“Don’t ever burglarize us again,

Cause now might be the time for you to pray!”

Her husband with maliciously say

As the burglar runs into the storage bin

While he tries to run the f  away

He says to himself aloud, “This is so damn gay!” 

“Run and don’t ever come back,

Cause if you do, it’ll be your neck I’ll crack!”

Paige yells with rage

As she goes back inside with her twelve gage 

Nestling in her hubby’s arms

He secures the house and sets the alarms

He asks, “Baby, you all right?”

She says, “Honey, I’m fine, but now I need a Sprite!”

While looking at the moon shining so bright

Her hubby compares her eyes to its glorious light 

She’ll forever be safe and sound

Cause her hubby will always be around

Just incase they have to take

Someone down to the ground

As they will both show their mighty rage

With that dangerous twelve gage

Saturday morning Tessa and I got up, had some breakfast and went to Hollywood 20 to catch the special charity screening of Captain America: The First Avenger presented by Borderlands Comics with all the profits benefitting injured veterans.  The turnout was great as the theater filled to near capacity and the film exceeded all our collective geek expectations as the last installment leading up to The Avengers next summer….and came complete with the first teaser trailer following the end credits!

Sunday morning we got up and actually made it to church for the first time since I can remember when!  After church, we grabbed some lunch then made our way to 7th Inning Splash in Piedmont, one of the three Greenville Rec waterparks offering free admission from 4 until 5:30 pm each day this past weekend due to the intense heat.

We got in and went straight towards their bowl slide being the most exciting ride there.  When we got in line, a kid told us we had to first take a swim test before riding the ride.  Being a poor swimmer, I was disappointed although I knew I could have completed the test just didn’t want to embarass myself with my pathetic doggy paddle swim style!  So we splashed around in the kiddie section for about an hour then called it a day.  Hey, at least we got to cool off for free!

What happens when you get The Rise Guys together with “The White Trash Millionaires”?  You have a thing called a Rock and Bowl. The P1.s got a chance to hang out at Golden Lanes  with Black Stone Cherry. They were a really cool bunch of guys from Kentucky.  I  had heard that the band was awesome from a friend of mine,  Keith Age.  I did a Ghost Investigation with Keith.  He told me that I had to hear these guys play. Keith told me that their recording studio was haunted.  Obviously,  I was intrigued by that information. I found out while chatting with the band members that they recorded one of their videos in Waverly Hills. Tuberculosis Hospital.  However, my favorite part of the rock and bowl was the air hockey match with my Husband and Fatboy.  It was hilarious.  Later on that night everyone enjoyed Black Stone Cherry rocking at the Handlebar.

Yesterday was an incredibly fun day as I got to get out of the studio for a while and go bowling while on the clock….with BLACK STONE CHERRY!!!!  Tessa and I got to Golden Lanes in Simpsonville around 2:30 before the band and most of the contest winners arrived. 

While waiting on everyone to show up, a group of three early teenage kids approached me and asked if they could pray for me.  Assuming they had me pegged as some Hellbound heathen, I admittedly got a bit defensive and snarkily replied, “Are you gonna pray for my soul?”.  The lead kid then clarified that the Lord had laid on their hearts to pray for someone wearing camouflage as I was wearing my camo shorts.  He continued to ask if I had anything that needed to be prayed for and, after a moment, I told them my brother who is currently in prison.  He then showed me the tablet he had been carrying which had ‘lost brother’ written on it suggesting that it referred to the fact that my brother was incarcerated.  Not entirely sure what to make of it, whether it was a message from God or a stretching coincidence, I decided to let the kids lay hands on me and pray.

Definitely one of the more unusual experiences I’ve had at a station event!  And, yes, that’s Jeff Lewis Neal snapping the pic with himself in the bottom left-hand corner!

When the winners arrived, people went ahead and started bowling and eating some pizza provided by the bowling alley as I resorted back to my unusual bowling technique:

Yeah, I just chuck the damn thing!  Hey, it works….sorta!

When the band arrived, they did an autograph session followed by a quick photo session before hitting the lanes with our contest winners!

Later that night, Tessa and I went out to the show at the Handlebar and even got to hang out on BSC’s tour bus and preview their new upcoming single “Blame It on the Boom Boom”!

When the band hit the stage, it was ON!  Great stage presence especially from guitarist Ben Wells and drummer John Fred Young the latter of whom did an amazing midset drum solo!  Can’t wait to see ‘em again!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (and even THEN), you are without a doubt aware that one of the largest film franchises in the history of cinema came to its inevitable conclusion this weekend and, unsurprisingly, shattered numerous box office records.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 had the best opening weekend of all time with $168.6 million (beating out The Dark Knight which made $158.4 its opening weekend), best single-day gross with $92.1 million, best midnight screening with $43.5 million and best international debut with $307 million!  Wow!

And I have to say that the film definitely delivered indeed!  I’ve never read the books but I have seen all eight films in the theater and I know a lot of the stuff the movies miss because I know numerous people who have read them and have even dated a few and this truly was the chapter fans of all interest levels have been waiting for!  Many questions are answered and many characters, both beloved and despised, meet their ends.

Tessa and I actually went to see the film twice this weekend – both times in Spartanburg as we met her mother Friday night then her best friend Krista on Sunday.  Before the movie Friday, we met her mother and Darlene at Longhorn for some grub and did the same on Sunday when we met with Krista and her fiancee Brandon….only substitute Longhorn with DQ!  Lol!

On Saturday, Tessa and I had some errands to run and then I met up with my old bandmate Chris Moon and cousin Ray at H&H Storage in the Five Forks area of Simpsonville so the three of us could all jam together for the first time in 11 years!  From ‘98 until 2000, the three of us were in a band called MINDPHASER and, when it disbanded, had not played together since.  Granted I have worked with both Moon and Ray on different projects individually just never all together.

The session went really well once we got started after having set everything up.  We jammed and Moon showed us both some riffs he had been working on and, after a couple of hours, had at least half a song written.  After another couple of hours last night we pretty much have it finished.  Keep in mind, Moon has a knack for writing some pretty challenging guitarlines to follow!

So far, things seem to be going well after just a couple of jam sessions….all we need now is a singer and a name!

Anybody watch the Braves last night? I’m not a fan really, I think I watch them out of habit now from being a kid. They gave up 4 to the Rockies last night but let’s be honest, 2 of those runs were a gift. It’s all good though, take em as you can. My Red Sox won 15-10 last night. Thank God they wrapped it up early, it almost looked like a repeat from Sunday night for a minute there. Second half of baseball should prove to be a good one. Other good news is, looks like the NFL is on the way.

This past weekend was one of those ideal lazy weekends where I didn’t step out of the apartment except for a few hours on Saturday just to grab some food, a few supplies and to feed some ducks at the lake.  I wish I could afford more of those!

Last night I got to step out for a few after work and go see my best friend Kenny from Atlanta do an acoustic set at Smiley’s Acoustic Cafe in Downtown Greenville for open mic night.  I was amazed at how many acts signed up for open mic that night!  What I wasn’t pleased with was the fact that several acts ignored the 3 song/15 minute time limit per set.  Three straight acts were a group of friends that kept interchanging members so there were several musicians who individually got significantly more than their fair share of 15 minutes of ‘fame’.

Needless to say, Kenny had to go on fairly late but did four amazing songs: three originals and a stripped-down version of QUEEN’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” which still gives me goosebumps because he sings it so incredibly well!  How do I get such amazingly talented friends yet none of it rubs off on me?

It is Tuesday morning at 7:11, we are playing Pearl Jam and everyone, except me of course, just left to get breakfast downstairs from MiMi. This is why you eat early like me. Early bird gets the worm and a full belly. Now I enjoy peace and quiet.

August is steadily approaching, wich means we are only a month away from Football season. Hopefully we will have some NFL to watch but at least we will have some College ball to see. Can’t wait; also, I’m excited about the beard I have now, hopefully it will last to the Super Bowl, we will see.

Casey Anthony’s Mother could face perjury charges. Cindy Anthony testified that she was responsible for the internet searches on the family’s home computer information about chloroform. However, records indicate that she was at work at the time.. Cindy probably will not be charged. The Prosecution in the case alleged that Casey killed her daughter Caylee by rendering her unconscious with chloroform, covered her mouth and nose with duct tape, and therefore causing the child to suffocate. One of the alternative jurors said that the Prosecution in the case failed to prove that Casey had motive to kill Caylee.  Casey Anthony will probably get out of jail with time served. As the crowds grow outside the Anthony’s home and courthouse. Many people are upset and shocked with the verdict. I thought to myself, what would I say to Casey Anthony, if I ever saw her face to face? Would I chant baby killer with the crowd? I understand that the community does not want murderers in their neighborhood. I truly hope that she did not kill her own child. If your child drowns, you call 911 and cooperate with the authorities to treat the victim with the most dignity possible. A normal parent would do whatever they do to help their child.  I would tell her that if she did suffocate her own little girl, then she is the most vial creature walking the earth.. I would say I hope you never get pregnant again,. The truth of the matter is Casey will probably have many more children. She will probably make millions from her court case. A murderer is still on the loose.. Whoever profits for from this case is just as evil. Was justice served?
