What happened to the daily doses of quirky unstableness I used to drop on an even more unstable consistant basis?
I'll tell you where they've been, in my head!
First off, about two weeks ago, my work PC kicked the bucket. For a few days Senor IT tried to get it going again but finally gave up. He then proceeded to order me a brand new PC. Sweet. Getting me some sound finally.
Any day now this proverbial jukebox will be arriving. In the meantime, I have been using the spare laptop.
No favorites on my IE. None of my shortcuts. A different version of Outlook. I have to log onto a remote PC to log onto our network because this dungpile is half ass messed up too. In other words, it has thrown my whole PC game off and sucks stinky ass.
So since I can't just click on my "Blog" favorites folder and come straight here and blog it old school, I've been putting off posting.
Not that I haven't been posting in my mind. I'm weird like that. (I'm sure you've noticed)
Stay tuned as I have finally gotten semi-comfortable enough with this laptop to begin posting again.
Where do I begin.......?

I swear, this year is going to be different.....
*I think to myself, "I love this time of year."*
It's almost Halloween. And while yes, the concept of All Hallow's Eve is very intriguing and I end up surfing pagan websites,going to haunted houses and look at things from an all around darker perspective, it's actually that Halloween represents the darkness before the light of Thanksgiving and Xmas.
And it's actually the build up to the holidays that I enjoy more than the actual holiday itself. Every year I end up overhyping the holidays. Tell myself this is the year where I really take the time to soak it all in. Do things I haven't done in the past. Enjoy the situations and the company that comes with these holidays.
The kids are getting older. I'm getting older. And every year, after it's all said and done, I realize, I didn't soak it all in like I should have. I didn't enjoy it like I should have. I rushed through it. Hurried it up.
Well, this year, hopefully that all changes. I'm going to make an effort to take life moment by moment. Try to quit living in the zone of worried anticipation and just live in the now.
All I can do is try.

Beck featuring The Flaming Lips
I almost forgot, but last night, on my local PBS station, good old channel 13, I caught a kick ass Austin City Limits from 2003.
It was Beck, and get this, The Flaming Lips were "his band". Are you fucking kidding me????
Complete and total genius. I mean, first off, Beck by himself is of the ruling nature, but to have the Lips playing his music for him. It was bad ass. Beck's vocals were so on. Made me remember why "Sea Change" is one of the greatest albums ever.
And dude, when for the final song of the night, they busted out "Where It's At?" and Wayne-O was doing the "two turntables and a microphone" through a bullhorn, well, duh, yeah, *BONER*.
I forgot to mention in my last post, that I am now going to go ahead and retire Coldplay for a bit, and rerape the shit out of my Lips and Beck CD's.

this is one of those times....
Christ. For the most part, I seem to always have something to say about something. Be it the most intimate, boring details of my so called life, or an opinion on something I find interesting and/or am quirkily into at the time of said moment of me busting out with said something.
But lately, ever since this whole, I don't know, past month happened, I've just lost my mmmmojo.
Contrary to what the mormon and the other have said to me about Coldplay, I still cannot stop listening to them. It's like a sickness. Yes I know. They are the modern purveyors of pop music. And it's all perfectly in tune and shit, but goddamn if it isn't some good ass pop music. It's those fucking piano hooks man. They fuck me up.
I'm pretty sure I have heard "Warning Signs" about 4000 times in the past month. It's my favorite song by them and it gets me everytime.
And yeah, I'm still loving the Gilmore girls. (Yes the "girls" part of it isn't supposed to be capitalized) I am on Season 3 disc 1 and it still can't be fucked with. So don't even try. Dialogue and character development on this show are the best, well, ever. Just watch it. You have to start from the beginning, because if you don't you suck and will be lost, but go ahead and watch it, I dare ya.
And Netflix, how sweet it is. (I am aware I start many a paragraph with "And", deal with my fragmentation) If you are still renting flix from your local Blockbuster, just stop. Sometimes, I just sit around and play with my Netflix queue and rate movies until I get a headache. Then I go to the kitchen and get the Orange Ocean Hawaiian Punch out of the fridge and drink it straight from the bottle.
You haven't tried it yet? Loser. Orange Ocean HP is the awesome.
This is where you tell yourself you can't believe you just read this and you want the minute it took you to read it back.
