I had talked about our friend Glenn Eliot and his talent before but I wanted to let you know about an upcoming event of his. August 9th, in Friendship Park would be the day. I know, I know, this is really early notification but that is the way I run my life. Why should you be any different? huh?
Anyway. Be there. I promise you an evening of wonderful music by a very talented local musician.
namaste.
This is my ear worm today. And the way things go round and round in my head, most likely for the rest of the week.
It is always interesting to see how people end up on this page, and one of the main ones is a search from a song’s lyrics.
Flor-rida has a sampled tune out there that is called “You make my head spin”. I would post it, but youtube has taken it off. The song he sampled from was by a group called Dead or Alive. They recorded this song in the 80′s:
Life is weird sometimes, now isn’t it?
namaste.
I finally did it. I think that I was the last hold out not to be an Ipod. I purchased an Ipod shuffle today for use in my truck going back and forth to where the heck ever it is that I am going.
Earlier this year I had purchased a really nice cd player for The Red Beast so that I would have music other than the crap played on local radio stations. The idea was to burn a billion cd’s and live happily ever after.
That idea crapped out when our computer absolutely refused to burn cd’s. Even though it is supposed to be able to do that. I could have reached out to my friends and begged, and bribed them with Dodd Family Legacy Beers, but that didn’t work out either. So today The Princess and I, yeah she is home from school again after going to the Dr. this morning, went out and did the good consumer thing and spent some cash. Cash that I got from dividends on an insurance policy that I have on myself, and the girls. Sounds like a Monopoly game, doesn’t it?
Moving on.
Now I have this piece of plastic that holds 1 gig of music. I have 145 songs on it now. That is the equivilent of 14 cd’s. Awesome! Of course this means that I am going to be spending time setting up folders with fav songs in them so that I can download them whenever I want to.
Great. Something else to waste time on.
Namaste.
Every city has their group of musicians. Rock and rollers, rhythm and blues singers, and those who do both well.
MLW introduced me to one of the duo you are going to see video from when I moved here to Mechanicsburg 11 years ago. Glen and his wife went to school with MLW, and both still live here in the barrens of central Pa.
Listen and appreciate one of the reasons it is nice to be here.
And one more to add to your collection of singer songwriter music that is more than worth listening to.
Namaste.
I don’t care how old I am, or where I happen to be. This is how I feel :
Namaste.
The Jo Bros not singing solo down in Soho while playing dobro, with J-lo watching as she eats a Ho-Ho outside of a Ho-Jo trying to stay on the down low.
Don’t cha know.
Yeah, I am getting really tired of it also. In talking to MLW the other night I found out that she had some Jo Bro drama go on when her and The Princess were at the Jo Bro concert the other night. Seems that some Mom thought that she could weasel her way in between MLW and the space the MLW had staked out for The Princess and her friend.
Bad Move. Really bad move. MLW is not a nice person when you get between her, and her cub. I found this out early in our marriage. We were at a family picnic, and something happened to The Princess out on the lawn. MLW was a few yards away from her, and heard her crying. I happened to be in the space between MLW and The Princess. I got moved. Pushed, shoved, whatever you want to call it but at one moment I was in one place, and then in the next I was about 6 feet away. And I am not a little person. I learned that day to make sure that MLW always has a clear line of vision and motion between her and The Princess.
Anyway, Security was called and arguments ensued. No restraining orders were issued, and no bail needed to be set so I figure “no harm, no foul”. I find it amusing, though, that a Mom would try to be that way with another Mom. I thought that that crap was always left up to Dad’s.
Namaste.

For Tuesday.
The things in my head:
I need to get a digital camera for myself. MLW has hers. The Princess has hers. I need one of my own. There. I said it, and I mean it.
Now if only I had the money to buy it.
Sigh.
We are leaving for North Carolina this coming Saturday. We should be leaving early Saturday morning, but due to circumstances beyond my understanding, I have have to work for part of the day on Saturday. That being said, MLW and The Princess along with her sidekick will be picking my up from work and we will be jetting down the freeway at warp speed.
If you are heading south on 95 this weekend, just get out of the way. It will be fine.
Which leads me to “The things that WILL NOT be in my head”. Namely music. I have been rhapsodizing about Ipods and the such lately, but in truth I have none. Again, MLW has hers, and The Princess has hers, but me? Nada. Zilch.
To be upfront, MLW did offer to purchase one for me not long ago and I demurred. I have my CD player for my truck, I figured that I didn’t need something to pour sweet music directly into my head.
I was wrong. I need something for this drive as I won’t be able to play the vehicles CD player without keeping everyone awake and bitching at me to TURN IT DOWN!!
I tend to listen to my music loudly.
So I have a couple of things to work on the next few days. Along with:
Tearing out the rest of the carpet in the living room.
Cleaning out all of the cupboards, and under the sink in the kitchen.
Cleaning out and moving the refrigerator from the kitchen.
Moving as much of the furniture out of the living room as possible.
Because while we are down in NC, gnomes are coming into our house and demo’ing our kitchen, and putting down wood flooring in our living room.
This is going to be interesting.
Namaste.
