Thoughts on a sunny afternoon....

Eating healthy, recycling, planning ahead: I thought all these things sucked. I do all of em now. I even got a bike to putt around town with. I can stay in shape and save gas. What? Yeah. Strange, but no matter how many people told me these types of things were beneficial, I could come up with just as many reasons why not to do them. I've always had the "it's just not who I am" response cocked back, ready to launch.


I found out a couple years ago that I actually don't know who I am for sure. Any year before '08 I'd have said that was a bad thing. Now I'm excited that I'm not the same person since 19. I'm excited that I cam change and evolve. And I think that's what happens. You just stop doing stuff that yields no good response and reinforce the things that do, the things that make you feel better about yourself when you wake up.

Forget about who you so boldly stated you were and start living in the moment a little. Start looking for the things that make you smile. Have yourself an adventure or two. Till next time........
Stay tuned goons!

Idol v. Celtics

So I'm sitting in my lady's living room.......watching American Idol and game-casting the C's. Huh? yeah that's my night. Hahahaha. I did hook up a fat steak, preservative and steroid free via a meat share, courtesy of Chestnut Farms and my boy Ciro. Anyway, its like at least 88 degrees in here with the windows open. I'm chompin this steak like an animal, dripping sweat.....taking breaks only to chug Miller. It was an eccentric and primal experience. update: C's are losing by 9 and Ford just gave two cars to the potential winners of the show. As if they will need help on the transportation front. And before you jump, i'm no hater. I just don't like how this show has made a lot of people think that making music isn't worth it unless you can win. I've been going on this for a long time. Music is art. It's not a contest. "It's an expression of our souls when we dance and sing"- Murs. Shows like this are very rarely about music and very much about marketability. So to all you less talented and less pretty, please pick up a guitar, trumpet, piano, MPC or turntable. Play the hell out of it. If it feels good, keep going.

Wait!!!! Finally. Something great just happened. The "pants on the ground" dude just repped hard on the Idol stage with a late cameo appearance from one William Hung. Nice. I can stop now. peace!
