Bad sneakers and a pina colada, my friend. They just don't write'em like that anymore, do they?

Listening to:Breathe, Pink FloydReading:it's a secretWeather:60, gorgeousThough it's been wildly cool and comfortable this August (down in the 40's at night more than once!), I'm feeling a bit stifled. Time for me to get a grip on my time management, I'm rather overwhelmed and it sucks. I need to remind myself I have the power to solve these millions of problems, I just need to take a breath

This album, titled Aquavia, has some real gems on it. My personal faves are Velveteen Queen, a rich vocal power pop ballad, and Hummingbird, a sweet homage to Paul McCartney's song of a freakin lifetime Blackbird. Blame me if you're walking around singing this stuff all day today. Go ahead/

How could I have let George's death come and go without a blognod? For shame. Good comedy is always about the deepest truth, for me, and George dug down past where most other fear to tread. Or just can't navigate. Anyway, Kevin Smith introduced me to another side of the amazing talent of George Carlin in his movie Jersey Girl. Jersey Girl is a wonderful movie, I don't care what y'all say

Overheard on Clickable Culture, Tom Waits tells it like it is: Q: What’s wrong with the world? A: We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness. Leona Helmsley’s dog made 12 million last year… and Dean McLaine, a farmer in Ohio made $30,000. It’s just a gigantic version of the madness
