Once More into the Fray…

Hello there loyal readers! It is Lefty here. I finally decided to shake the dust and crumbs off of my keyboard and finally contribute to the millions of unsolicited opinions out here in internet land. It has been quite a while since I have put anything out here. My partners in crime, Pancho and Rando, however have been keeping you entertained and well-informed I see! I feel since it has been so long since I have written, I need to reintroduce myself and give everyone an idea what my posts and ramblings are all about. Like Pancho and Rando, I muse from time to time about the state of our pop culture. I look at the good, the bad and the ugly and make note of what I think of it all and what we need to do to either cultivate it or kill it with fire. I am a child from a different time. No I do not understand the fascination with Justin Bieber or Lady Ga-Ga. Just typing “Lady Ga-Ga” made me cringe just a little. Maybe I am old fogey or maybe I am someone with a little common sense who can detect crap when he smells it. You will have to be the judge on that. I am too set in my ways to change now. I also take the occasional walk down the rocky path of news and politics. I don’t consider myself a liberal or a conservative, simply because those labels conjure horrible visions that are so extreme for either side. I am more along the line of common sense and let’s try not to fuck things up too much. You will see as we snuggle together in the wooly blanket that is my opinion, that my opinion is like that wooly blanket: it can keep you warm and cozy, but it will also make you itch like a S.O.B. I hope this have given everyone a sense of what is to come. Keep an eye out and there will be more posts soon!

Take care
Lefty

Show 21: WE’RE BAAACCCKKK!!!!!!!!!!

After a long and unplanned absence, the Mid-Life Crisis Taskforce returns with an all-new episode!!

Today, we get caught up on why we were on hiatus, what we’ve been doing in the meantime, Rando talks guns, we say RIP to Russell Johnson, and we discuss who’s make a pact with the Devil.

Enjoy!!

I’m baaack.

I’m baaack! I’ve got lips again and I’m going to use ’em, baby! (Can you guess where that’s from?)

Whew. It has been a very long few months for me. Work really kicked my life in the ass, but my project finally got its official release yesterday. I haven’t slept this good without alcohol in a while.

So my life’s been work and home for the longest time now and I’m ready to scream and let off some steam. Unfortunately, this close to the holidays means my time and choices are limited. Not sure what I’ll do… I need to take my gun back out for a spin at the range. I’ve still got a ton of DVDs and BDs to watch. I’m trying desperately to avoid yard-work.

I’ve been looking at several .45 caliber guns. I don’t need one, I just want one. My problem is that the ones I really want to look at and test-fire are pretty much unavailable– well, except for one.

Here’s the short list:

The CZ 97BD:

The Stoeger Cougar 8045:

The Springfield Armory XDM 45 4.5:

And, as a last resort, the Para Black Ops 14.45

But I really need to test-fire all of these before I put my money down. The closest I can get to doing that is driving several hours away to specific gun ranges. Guess I’ve got some day and weekend trips ahead of me.

That’s about it for now (technically, I’m working from home today).

Rando!
