The rise of the performer
A new friend and I got into a discussion about music recently. His
argument was that he had more respect for a singer-songwriter or band
that wrote their own music as opposed to those who simply perform
songs written for them. A valid point, I thought. I brought up the
historical point that the popularity of the performer is a relatively
recent phenomenon. Prior to that the songwriter was...
Dear stranger in the bathroom
Regardless of how well it is going, there are only two people I want
to talk to when I have my junk in my hand - my doctor and my wife,
and I’m not all that crazy about doing it for the former.
Save the “What ups” and “How’s it goings” for the sinks and hallways.
Dear tumblr
Thank you for cutting off my text posts. It’s a wonderful feature.
I wish I'd been online more the past few days
Because I’m just now thinking of “Cannibal! The Musical” jokes.
I am ridiculously happy to be eating leftover...
What I can’t figure out, though, is if this is becuase or in spite of
the precocet I took about 30 minutes ago.

But when I do, I immediately try and find if they carry any Mojo Nixon

No, not so close

When I lived in Arizona, I went out to take some pics of thunderstorms
and you *feel* like the lightning is close, but that’s just
perspective.

We’ll see how this works out.

For the record
I don’t think Bridget’s a bitch.
I also think it’s pretty silly to think I was being all that serious if you know me at all.
But I can be a fucking pig if you’d like.
Because, increasingly, this place is too fucking sensitive for it’s own fucking good anyway.
Jesus fucking Christ.

I wouldn’t mind having a day go by without someone soliciting tits on tumblr. I guess we can’t always get what we want.
I guess we can’t always just skip over what we don’t care for.

Yes. This.

Layla
Layla’s outro jam is like an entirely different song, which is kind of true as that bit was written by Jim Gordon.
There need to be more songs with extended outro...
Aren’t those like the best parts of songs? That Floyd song I posted this morning, Summer 68, I could listen to another five minutes of them riffing on that outro. The only good thing about the RHCP’s Sir Psycho Sexy is the outro jam. Dream Theater has many, many good ones.
Get on that, bands. More outro jams.

Psh. I’m older than you, brother. You’re just a Luddite. :D
You’re only 5 years older than me, we’ve both lived a life before cell phones never mind “smart” phones. Let’s hear it for proper paper maps, an actual physical thesaurus/ dictionary and of course, encyclopaedias.
My brother went through Army E-5 school recently. I...

Salting watermelon
I just read an article where the author referred to the “bizarre”
practice of salting watermelon.
I grew up in a household where sprinkling a little salt on watermelon
(or cantaloupe for that matter) was rather common. Is it just a
regional thing? I know plenty of people who do this, but it appears
that there are many who find it odd.
What say you?

I just applied for a job that is both a promotion...
It will require a degree of travel occasionally, but mostly I’d work from home.
If I get this job I’m totally creating a home office. I might even get
a second, dedicated internet connection.
I want a fortress of solitude
A cave.
An underwater lair.
A castle in the clouds.
I need somewhere to escape to for a few days. I want to put the world
on hold for a bit.
Just somewhere isolated … me, some alcoholic beverages and an
internet connection.
