I think we’ve seen that movie too

I think we’ve seen that movie too

OK, so anyone who knows me knows I’m not a big movie buff. I’ve never seen The Godfather or The Graduate. I’ve just recently, in the past year, seen Indiana Jones (all 3 of them) and Star Wars (ahem, turns out…not a big Sci-Fi fan.) I’ve also recently seen Animal House, and if you’ve...
You will always wonder how it could have been if you’d only lied

You will always wonder how it could have been if you’d only lied

OK, so I tried to assuage a customer the other day that made a suggestion on how I can “improve” my business. Instead of blowing smoke up her ass and faking it by humoring her with the typical reply: “Thanks, that’s a great idea!” and then never actually putting the idea into motion,...
For those about to rock, we salute you (but not in Chicago)

For those about to rock, we salute you (but not in Chicago)

Is it just me or is hip hop getting out of hand? It’s hard to find a bar or club that doesn’t play hip hop, rap, or R&B these days. Nothing against those music genres, but I don’t prefer them, especially compared to ROCK! There’s nothing that would make me happier than to walk into...
Have no faith in constitution, there is no bloody revolution

Have no faith in constitution, there is no bloody revolution

Wholesome food, education, and health are really important. I think we can all agree about that. There shouldn’t be levels in quality when it comes to these 3 things; they should all be excellent, all the time. Excellence should be the “norm.” There are some things in life we just shouldn’t...
I’m gonna get myself connected

I’m gonna get myself connected

I was on Myspace the other day and I am not ashamed to say that I get totally sucked into the bullshit. It starts out innocent enough…you know, I check out how many plays my songs got and how many new “friend” requests I have. Before I know it, 17 minutes have passed and I’m on Snobby...
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans

In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans

I went clothes shopping yesterday. I basically enjoy shopping – I like looking at new trends, and checking out the new colors, styles, cuts and fabrics. I enjoy getting ready for the next season, looking at all the fashionable, pretty women who are re-inventing themselves. Good times. What...
Put on my PJ’s and hop into bed

Put on my PJ’s and hop into bed

So I’m wondering…when I will graduate into adulthood? I still don’t wear pajamas to bed. Do you? Who even owns a pair of PJ’s? Is it an east coast thing? Is it an old person thing? My aunt wears pajamas, and she’s 52. I have relatives/friends who are around 40, and I know they don’t...
I’m giving you a longing look, everyday I write the book

I’m giving you a longing look, everyday I write the book

I am not a big reader. I don’t read fiction (except “The Blade Itself” by Markus Sakey, on sale now wherever books are sold.) I typically stick to reading self-help and motivational books. I am, however, an avid reader of Psychology Today magazine. I love it. I read it from start to finish...
Life ain’t real funky unless it’s got that pop

Life ain’t real funky unless it’s got that pop

I was watching American Idol last season because I knew 2 of the girls on it: Leslie Hunt (who got booted on the 3rd episode) and Gina Glocksen, who made it to the top 10. I dig the show to a degree, of course, because I am a musician with a thirst for new talent. I also revel in the idea that...
Someone to hear your prayer, someone who cares

Someone to hear your prayer, someone who cares

I was raised catholic, but do not believe in most of the traditions nor do I practice them. I am assuming Jesus practiced Judaism since he was Jewish, though I could be wrong. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t follow any organized religion. Whether he practiced Judaism or practiced...
