• Much To My Surprise

    Gravity no longer exists.?

    I was not prepared for this today. I woke up and walked out into the yard, and against the run of play, I was hanging onto a tree. The branches at the bottom are small and they couldn’t hold me I kept going up and up and up and up until finally one held me.

    And there was Michael Stipe in the next branch singing.

    Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
    Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
    Stomp gravity into the floor
    It’s a Man Ray kind of sky
    Let me show you what I can do with it
    Time and distance are out of place here

    It’s pretty cool cause I’ve always wanted to meet Michael Stipe but not 100 feet up in the air with no gravity.

    My responded as she was barking from a lower branch.

    And the day just kept getting weirder.

    What music fits depending on day?

    Right about now I think I need some classical music.

    When my head is filled with endorphins, especially after a run, give me something a little more upbeat likeThe Tragically Hip

    If I’m cooking, I like something full or out of the 70s.

    Painting at night it’s jazz or something a little multi layered.

    In the car, I rarely listen to music, which is a change for me. Then again, I don’t drive all that much.

    I used to have six stations in my car pre-plays and they haven’t changed much. I have a jazz station, classical station, NPR and the college radio station.

    Of course there are no rules when it comes to listen to music only overwriting generalities.

    In the words of Peter Shickley, if it sounds good, it is good.

    This is probably the most played album in my entire collection.

  • The United States is not the land of equal opportunity. We worship celebrities and they are above due process.

    Wrexham, a second division soccer team gets all the headlines because they have rich celebrity owners. I personally don’t care and I don’t go out of my way to root against them. I certainly don’t root for them.

    Fucking Katy Perry goes to space. What a waste of resources and a display of privilege. All she can do is sing a few bad songs really well.

    The big orange blob can walk down the middle of Broadway and kill somebody and he’s above the law. The bankruptcy laws were made for him, and he commits a felony he doesn’t go to jail.

    And we have people sitting in jail for having a joint in their pocket.

    Or for Simply being in black.
