Tonight speaks of the fine line between insecurity and disinterest. When I was young I always thought what I felt was insecurity; Insecurity at other peoples clothes, other peoples girls, money, fancy cocktail parties, ‘nice houses’ and often thoughts and ideologies held by others. Now that I’m all grown up, I feel more as if [...]
I had a fair share of turkey and pie and loafing today, and happily no pulled muscles this year. I need to get rumbling on some exercise or that minute on the lips will turn to lifetime on the hips. I had a lot of time to think today, just a general ‘take it easy’ [...]
Lately in the ‘long tail’ world, the cool thing to do is to bash Jesus and compadres, in music, clothing, cocktail party conversations, and just general spatter. Don’t get me wrong, I used to hop on this bandwagon, gleefully and say, yea! people have been mislead, this, that, and other typical rational thought sentiments, pffft, [...]
Holy toledo, the song ‘Wet Ground’, extremely deep, extremely meaningful, and if I had a clue about the charisma of Bergen Norwegians, snow and sentimentality, this is the sound I’d peg them with, and I think I’d be right in accessing the undercurrent of their thoughts.

Action packed weekend I’m making a feeble attempt at cataloging. Minnesota comes to Texas, its freezing up there, hot as the dickens down here. First things first, snap a picture in front of the Alamo, then head to Austin. I actually like that Crockett Hotel in the back of the Alamo, it looks like a [...]
This past week I rambled through Colbert’s book, cause it seems like the cool thing to do these days, and the ultimate ‘one liner’ in the book, is…..Ayn Rand could kick Shakespeare’s ass in a bar fight. How true is that. My ears have been filled with The Beautiful South, another one of those damn [...]
Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, boy do I have a love hate relationship with these boys. I see Allman Brothers, E-streets, Price, Marvin Gay, and Lenny all rolled up in one package. I guess the reason they’re in San Antonio was Bass Concert Hall in Austin was booked for the evening, at any rate, [...]
