Well fellas, here's the first of the day. To D.H. Lawrence!

I am in need of some good nerd-prog rock from the late 70s-early 80s. Yes' "90125", and "Signals" by Rush, or "Foxtrot" by Genesis. (I guess that's early 70s.) I think i've said this before, but for some reason writing this blog makes me think of that kind of music. Too bad my money pretty much goes straight to the Man, and I can't buy music right now. Sigh!

Here's some mudane details:
I got free garlic bread at the store. It was pretty cool. I found an old shirt of mine that I thought I had lost. I watched "Good Night and Good Luck" 3 times in a row at work. I had a dream where I fell through a window but the ground was right there. I've used some "creative" practices to come up with meals, in combining things that don't belong together. I watched some old VHS tapes, one was a program about people that grow weed, the others were episodes of Miami Vice and other late 80's shows. My mail is finally getting to me without a hitch. The magic marker is completely off my arms, finally! Boring details /off.

Cat Terrorizes Neighborhood! I can imagine this cat organzing other local cats and forming a street gang.

More later tonight.

i can take a hint from you, ann jane don't cry

Today is the day that I'll magically shrink down to tiny size and tell people to drink Guiness and burn thier house down. Mmm...that sounds pretty good, other than the burning house part. If only I had some better insurance..

don't buy the realistic

My favorite site as a distraction over the past couple of days has been this :

People are so idiotic when it comes to reporting things to the cops! Well, i suppose if it annoys cops, then it's okay by me.

I'm finally getting my phone back in the next three days. Woot. I'm also getting most of my music files from my other computer moved onto this one-which can actually get online-this week as well. Yay! Now it's time to eat a bagel or something.

believing is art - back to the life

It's 108 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half pack of cigarettes..it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. ...Hit it.

Today was a day for balloons. Helium balloons! It was nice and windy..but still i felt incredibly cheesy to be carrying around a clump of them. They were eventually set free, only to wind up caught in a tree. It stormed like hell tonight, so they probably all popped. They had a good life. We gave them a worthwhile existence, i'd like to think.

Word Cloud!!


It gathers words from your blog or whatever and arranges them like so. Doesn't really say much as far as pertinent information goes, but it's neat. Neat.

we need to go see monster trucks someday

Some news website reported something like "NASA to Make Huge Announcent About Life In Our Solar System" with absoluetly no details whatsoever, while in reality the announcment was really about water on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. Way to over-sensationalize science!


Sure, possible discovery of water is significant, but I wouldn't exactly report it as "OMG ALIENS!" It would be funny to see a news report like this though:

"Apparently our mars probe hit what appears to be an office-type structure.. We have intercepted apparent news broadcasts from Mars calling Earth "part of the axis of evil." and referencing "Bringing freedom and democracy to the people of Mars."

Lol..

armed robbery is up about 15% from last year in this town

So I haven't had time to update this as of late. But, I did find time to write some of my more non-sensical stuff over on the xanga. I dunno why I don't try and keep all of this localized. Variety I suppose. I watched an Indiana Jones movie last night..only thing I could find throughout the entire store that I actually cared to see. I probably wasn't looking hard enough, but there are a lot of cruddy movies out there. Good ones here and there, but mostly crud. When I'm feeling not so good, any Indiana Jones or Star Trek movies will put me back in a better place. The Blues Brothers as well..I remember Jon watched that something like 13 times in a row after a breakup or something. Haha, what a coping mechicanism..whatever works!

I've got wires inside my head

I hope someday I'm half the composer Danny Elfman is. Maybe even an eighth would be acceptable. Even though I don't think I would write the kind of strange 'musical narrative' that's inventive and fun and intelligent in the same way. It is something to aspire to, however.

My goal for 2006 is to learn accordian and get better at harmonica. They're actually quite similar instruments.

I think I've been on a self-improvment kick lately. Haha, but I'm not going expound upon it until I'm actually improved(this applies to the above as well.) Then I can regale this blog with my new and improved exploits.
