rock and roll musings by Tim Byrnes

Experiencing Difficulties: Please Stand By

Looks like punk rock blues is gonna have to go to radio silence for at least a little while. My life is, once again, in upheaval. Turns out I have to move from the place I’m staying ASAP, as my landlord’s wife needs to sell the house by May 1st and needs the space in the basement I’ve been occupying for storage until that time. I’ve posted an ad at roommates.com but thinking about this practically, I really can’t afford to move into a place here in Denver. Everything I’ve found so far (I’ve been at it for 3 hours now since hearing the news) is like $500 which I just don’t have. I’m only working part time at the video store, hoping for full time and think I’m gonna have to try to transfer to the video store back in the small town I left 2 ½ months ago after my divorce etc.
     So looks like me and Buster the Dog are gonna be busy for a little while and, while I hope to keep up writing here, I don’t know how often I’ll be able to post. This is a weird situation as I had been told not to worry about moving by my landlord, who promptly left to live w/my sister back in said small town about 2 weeks after inviting me to live up here, in his house with his (soon to be ex) wife and kids while I ‘Got on my feet’. Due to this advice I haven’t put a lot of money together, not that I’m making that much to begin with, so I’m feeling a little like Wile E. Coyote moments after stepping off the ledge, hovering above the abyss holding a small wooden sign reading ‘yikes!’.
     But don’t cry for me, Argentina or dear reader, I’m sure I’ll work something out. I always do. I’ll try to post as often as I can, but with all that’s going on I’ll probably just prattle on about my latest personal calamities as right now I could care less about punk, rock or blues.
     Although the Killers are killer, Costello rules and R.I.P. Son Seals.
     But Buster and I will always love you and will see you all as soon as we can If you pray please pray for us, if yr more the ‘burning stalks of garlic under the full moon’ type, well, we’d appreciate ya burning a stalk for us. We need all the good wishes we can get.
thanks,
tim byrnes/punk rock blues

thank you good friends. I'm about as handy as Basil Fawlty but it's a nice offer. I'll see if I can train Buster to drive nails or something!

Bless you good people. Me and Buster are gonna be fine. I think I got a transfer arranged back to the smalltown, which weren't so bad after all. Although Buster says to hold out for the beach.
