Song of the Day: ‘Little Things’

  I’m starting this week kind of giddy which means you’re getting a (severely underrated) song from ‘the’ upbeat group of my childhood. I mean, really, who else BUT Boyz II Men would have this as the first lyric of any song? ‘When I wanted someone to give me the world/ You accepted me and […]

Song of the Day – ‘Scream’

  Ah.  I was all hyped to talk about this one when I knew it would be today’s song (I wrote my first ‘action fight sequence’ to this), but now I just feel melancholy.  Hopefully it has the opposite effect on you going into the weekend.  Enjoy!

My Favorite ‘Throwaway’ Simpsons Joke

  Skipping a song today as an inside joke reminded me of this… While ‘The goggles…they do nothing’ is the one-liner everybody knows, this relatively meaningless (to that episode) scene always cracked me up on multiple levels.  In less than 30 seconds! Setup + Comedic Timing = Gold Poor Milhouse… Enjoy!

Song of the Day – Uh Huh

  Back to the music.  Keep this between us for now, but I have four light skinned ‘nephews’ who are all close enough in age to be groomed into a boy band in about 10 years.  Don’t tell their mothers… (I told you we’d get back to pure silliness didn’t I?)

So I Won’t Have to Keep Answering These…

  This weekend went beyond my expectations so we’ll delay the music for a day.  I’d say from Christmas to now I’ve seen 80 to 90 percent of the people I care about, and certain questions keep coming up repeatedly.  So here’s a quick Frequently Asked Questions post for the other 10 percent of you […]

Confession…

  I have a confession… Even in my mind’s eye, when I made to this point where everything I wanted become more tangible and less hypothetical…I didn’t think I would be enjoying myself. That’s the truth behind the joke of ‘the Batman’ and my militant phase.  I have never questioned my various talents or my […]

Song of the Day – Favorite Thangs

  Tomorrow’s post is one of my annual ‘speak from the heart’ posts, so you’ll forgive me if I use today to speak from the heart (and other areas)… One of my cousins turned me onto this cat a couple years ago.  There are a lot of great interpretations of this song (Coltrane and Andre […]

Song of the Day – ‘Clair de Lune’

  I’ve had a goofy smile on my face all day so it felt like the right day to post this one.  Won’t make it to Vegas this exact weekend, but I’ll make my annual trip soon enough. Malik Ocean: (to all my exes I’m still friendly with)  See? I told you.  I knew what […]

Why I Won’t Be Doing Stand Up

  No song today.  I post this about once a year or so.  It’s the epitome of funny AND wrong.  The Brandon Knight slaughter last night reminded me of this, just in terms of someone getting publicly castrated badly.  Enjoy or feel bad.  Or both.
