I grew up with two guys that I am still in contact with. We all met when I was in second grade. J was in 1st and B was in 3rd. We are all adults now, (damn the march of time), and are living our lives. B is married to V and lives about 10 minutes away from me. J moved out to California to finish school and now coaches at the collegiate level. J is dating K, and doesn't let a moment pass without reminding us that he is dating someone 6 years his junior. Way to go J.
Every now and again, J will come back to town, (his parents still live here) and J, B, and Me, (I know thats not correct English, but the rhyme works) will hang out. We usually start off just playing catch up with one another, and by the end of the night we are those three kids again. Except now we consume copious amounts of alcohol.
Well, J is coming in town tonight. Our night of drunken debauchery is not scheduled until tomorrow night, though. It seems funny to me that we have to put it in our Blackberry's. Ahh, the trappings of adulthood.
Well, just wanted to paint this small picture of one upcoming night in my life.
Until Next Time...

Ask Yourself This...
...have you ever watched any other News organization try so hard to defend a "journalist" and smear the person they interviewed? Read and watch here.
Fox News Channel, their hosts and special guests, try to paint Chris Wallace as a victim in his interview with President Bill Clinton. Wallace even states at one point that he felt like he was at the bottom of a mountain watching an avalanche come down.
My favorite headline in the lower third of the screen was "Bubba Boils Over". Also, one of the more brilliant comments was made by the guest in the second segment shown, where she states that Clinton reacted this way because she knew it could get him more votes.
There is a vast right wing conspiracy and thy name is Fox News.

A Ridiculous Attempt
Watch how our former chief executive handles himself when ambushed on Fox News Channel! I'm having trouble discerning....is this fair or balanced???
John Mayer's "Waiting On The World To Change"
I'm a huge fan of John Mayer. From Inside Wants Out to Room For Squares to Heavier Things, I have marveled at how this person seems to be on the same life path as myself, because he writes my life in at least one song, per album.
"Waiting On The World To Change" off of his latest album, Continuum, is the catchiest of the 12 tracks. Here's the thing, though. When you listen to the lyrics, he gives a pass to all of the listeners who would rather slack than do anything about fighting the injustices we are faced with. Youth (adolescence - 30's) is the time when you have the energy to fight and the ignorance to believe you can make a difference.
Anthems of our parents in the 60's, ("Give Peace A Chance", "If I Had A Hammer", "With God On Our Side", etc.) challenged the listener to get up and work for the better tomorrow. That was a generation that, when faced with another unnecessary and unjustified war, stood against the establishment and said, "no more!".
I know we have become desensitized to what is going on. I know it feels like we have been castrated and our entire world has been hijacked by George W.'s "Foreign Policy Gone Wild!", but when the artists stop dreaming for us and create works that mollify our ennui, our battle is close to lost.

Great Music Embedder
Hey,
Under my "Who's Visited Me Lately" World Map to your left, I put in an embedded music player. It's pretty cool and the guy singing is, too. He is Dave Barnes from Nashville. Does excellent acoustic work. Check it out. I think I will include embedded music links in posts from now on. Ya know...just to let you know what im listening to.
Peace out, bitches!

Jon McGlaughlin & 'Weeds'
I am hooked on a new song. It's called 'Indiana' by Jon McGlaughlin. It is one of those songs that speaks to my sorrowful, die-hard romantic side. I'm such a sap. But it doesn't change the fact that it's an amazing song.
Oh, and I just finished the second disc to the first season of 'Weeds'. What an amazingly written show. If you haven't seen it, you have to go out and rent it.
The dialogue is smartly written. The characterizations are brilliant. And there is a great balance of comedy to drama. Get out there and see this one. Apparently it is on Showtime, Mondays at 10pm (9 central). But just rent it on DVD or search it out on i-tunes. Because you should be watching 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip' Mondays at 10pm (9 central) on NBC.
