okay,

somebody is fucking with my posts. i don't know who yet, but if i find out who it is........

well, you don't wanna know what.

i posted a long ass post yesterday and somehow it got chopped down to just three paragraphs and made me sound like i hate the wormy dog and everyone in okc. that is not the case at all. i really thanked eric shultz and all the staff at the wormy dog on the last post. i didn't wanna piss them off on my very first gig there. i usually wait at least 5 or 6 gigs before i piss off management.

anyway, my post was sabotaged.

maybe it was smallslowweak.

and since i deleted that last post, i also need to thank travis and brandon and jenn for the gig in wichita at "the game". i appreciate you spreading the word like you did, and i'm looking forward to coming back in december with mcclure. thanks to joe and lori, the bar owners. i had a great time and the chicken enchiladas were bad ass.

thanks to kevmo, ragan, lumpy and the other five people in attendance at the wormy dog too. if not for you, there REALLY wouldn't have been anyone there. i do thank you eric for having me on such short notice and for the hospitality. it was way cool of you. it sounded great and the bar looks awesome. it would look even cooler, had i put some people in it.
hopefully, we can do again sometime.

alright then. enough of the thanking. i'm starting to sound like a pussy.

i really don't think anyone sabotaged my blog. i think it just got cut off because it took me about 4 hours to do. i went out and chipped golf balls in the yard for about an hour and a half yesterday in between posting.

what else?

i've read recently that i am nominated for songwriter of the year in the first annual red dirt music awards.

i would tell you all to vote for me, but none of you bastards get to vote. it's voted on by the musicians and singer/songwriters. i get to vote.

i don't wanna give it away but i voted for myself and all of my friends.........i took me about 20 seconds to do.

here would be my acceptance speech were i to win........

"Please sit down.....thank you, sit down. no really thank you, please sit down."

(after ten more minutes of an incredibly loud standing ovation)

"Thank you so much. you can sit down now.

i wanna thank everyone associated with scottcopeland enterprises. i couldn't have done it without me. and i wanna thank everyone who ever told me to get a real job. and everyone who ever told me how to write a song and "make it big", thank you too. and too all the bar owners who told me not to say "fuck" in their bars while they served minors alcohol for hours and hours every night, god bless you. and finally, for everyone out there who has burned copies of my life's work for free and never given me a red cent, i love you with all my heart, too.

in closing, i would like to say that i'm very deserving of this award and i think next year we should call it the "Scott Copeland Appreciation" award. thank you and good night."

(scene out)

.................................

all rise, the honorable king bignoggan will speak.

"well, i was very interested in smallslowshortweak's posts on the guestbook and i felt i should address them today.

first off, admittedly, i am full of shit a lot of the time and ferrell, my girlfriend, is very adept at calling me on my flagrant misuses of bullshit for rational thought. i appreciate your concern, though.

as far as me cursing around my children, i try not to, but sometimes it's just too fucking hard. you know what i mean.. i've been asked that same question several times and the only answer that i can come up with is this...

i would hope that when my children become adults they will appreciate their father's openmindedness and love of humor. and most of all, his unconditional love for both of them........ despite his cursing.

obviously i don't think it's right to curse in front of children. that is why i play in bars and instruct people that this website is not for children. it's the parents responsibility to monitor what their children are being fed.

i want all of you who are offended by my cussing to do me a favor......

throw away all your richard pryor and eddie murphy cd's, never watch hbo again, do not rent movies from blockbuster, no chris rock, adam sandler, redd foxx, george carlin, lenny bruce, denis leary, definitely no bill hicks, no bernie mac or any of the other kings of comedy, and never go to a comedy club again.

thank you....

and to whoever wanted to know what waylon jennings and johnny cash song i would like to do.......

Honky Tonk Heroes and Understand Your Man."

you may sit down now. the honorable king bignoggan has spoken.

i have been called "abrasive" several times before. i guess i am then.

i may be abrasive, but i am very loving to those i love. there's just not many people i choose to love, i suppose. i really wish i loved everyone. i know that is probably the better way to live, but it's just soooooo goddamn hard with you dumbasses. can i get an amen?

i had a great gig last night at mchenry's and i wanted to thank everyone for coming. cody, james, jenn, wes, cory, rachel, missy, cici, jerry, johnny mack, and james hinkle, and the rest of you guys that i can't remember,....i appreciate it. i haven't played that long in a long time and i had a good time doing it.

i'm jamming to some 'counting crows' right now. i dig the shit out of adam duritz's writing. that's poetry and if you don't know that then you need to leave right now because i have no need for you.

"i am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame.

i am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame.

if you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame,

and though i'll never forget your face, sometimes i can't remember my name."

do you know what i'm saying? shit man.

i love it in when he say's "Well Everybody Trip".
i've made up my mind i'm gonna say that somewhere on my next recording. i don't know what song yet, but it's gonna be bad ass. just wait....

well, i'm gonna go and listen to this a little more attentively. i don't have any more time for you fools.

peace out without a doubt,

scott
