Yea, Chris Cornell comes to town, he’s the guy that church in Shiner thinks is the devil, perhaps the preach caught the Black Hole Sun video watching M2 one day, o wait….what would he have been doing watching M2. Sunshower (love that song), Can’t Change Me, Hunger Strike, Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, Cochise, they’re all [...]
Howard Roark builds the skyscraper to represent the human spirit, Dominique meets Howard at the top, and the two are left with the sky and the sea, along with peace and human understanding. The best visual / symbolic climax I’ve ever seen in a book. Today I finish The Fountainhead, lots of stuff to be [...]
One of my rare ‘paint the town’ nights, 1. Grupo Fantasma at La Zona Rosa for AMF with Maudi’s Food. 2. Lomita at Beauty Bar 3. Bavu Blakes and Tee Double at Flamingo Cantina 4. A few bud lights as a nightcap at Logans
Last night I watched the dems ‘debate,’ 30 second soundbytes, actually useless, people speaking in generalities about complicated issues. All partianship aside (as I think it should be), I applaud honesty and ‘non-traditional’ politics. Hence, I support Obama.

How weird that as on my 30 mile bike ride this evening I’m recalling the Indigo Girls? What can I say, I like em’, they’re stong and proud. Hey big shot in the Mercedes, the bike lane is a bike lane, and you know what, the voodoo doll that I got at SXSW goes to [...]

One good Shins concert deserves another and another and another and another, even if it’s to brave the rain and an MTV event. Bless this Frenchy who does this, following bands around the lovely city of Paris. Just look at these Shins havin’ a good time, even Mercer looks a bit happy. Notice Spoon playing [...]
Doom and gloom, easily the most depressing thing I’ve ever read, The Sorrows of Young Werther. Astounding how a piece of literature can make the suicide rate increase on its release. Simply AMAZING piece of literature, written in ‘blog format’ as his regular account of his life which lead to his demise. I’m of the [...]
‘people want nothing but mirrors around them. To reflect them while they’re reflecting too’ Reflections on society, the media, corporations, art — started blogging about this, it became too cumbersome, so, random person, random topic was….. Bed Bugs – which turned into monsters to dragons to princesses. I used to not hang my feet over [...]
Maybe he is a smooth talker with the ladies, o wait, Nikkita, the cat that I live with is a female, and a wonderful kitty indeed. I think she’s goin’ on about 12 years old or so. Every now and then she gets a haircut, and it makes her look like a lion sorta cat, [...]
