It was a norbal day

June 30, 2004

Back at Starbucks for another morning to get my work done and watch the world go by. It’s been an interesting morning so far… I didn’t want to get up, so I laid in bed for an extra 15 minutes or so, until the phone rang. It was my dear ol’ mom. Bless her heart, [...]

I know I should be writing, but it’s hard to really give a shit.

June 29, 2004

It’s hard to speak objectively about something you are passionate about. For as long as I can remember, even when I was a kid, all I ever really wanted to do, was write songs. Now don’t get me wrong, I never wanted to be a “songwriter,” not in the sense that I wanted to be [...]

Monday morning at Starbucks

June 28, 2004

After dropping the kid off at school this morning I wondered over to Starbucks on US1 and Broward for a cup of joe and to get my work done for the day. I find if I do this, I can get most of my daily grind done but about 10:30 in the morning. Not bad [...]

Blockbuster Video, “Every time you come here, it’s always a pain in the ass.”

June 26, 2004

Got the fark out of Dodge a bit today. Went down to Miami to the Lincoln Road Mall and had some Cuban food. It was a bit hot for the mall and of course the traffic was a pain in the ass, but all in all it was a pleasant experience. On the way back [...]

I’ve been feeling like crap lately

June 26, 2004

No recent updates on this page in a few days because I’ve pretty much been housebound. I’m having a bout with Urticaria, also known as the dreaded hives. It’s been about three years since I’ve had to deal with them. I’ve been pounding antihistamines, drinking tons of water, taking massive doses of C and B, [...]

I want to have Lauren Graham’s love child

June 21, 2004

Well, actually I really want to have Lorelai Gilmore’s love child. Sure Lauren Graham is really, really attractive… But I think that it’s the Gilmore character that makes me weak in the knees. There is no woman on the planet that has the humor, brains, dialouge and the inverse curves of Lorelai Gilmore. If I [...]

The Terminal

June 21, 2004

Got a chance to see the new Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks movie over the weekend, “The Terminal.” And I actually enjoyed it. I would definitely give it a pretty wide recommendation. Folks with a couple of living brain cells and even Aunt Gerdie would actually enjoy it. Kumar Pallana, who plays the cranky yet lovable [...]

Eating redneck in sofla

June 20, 2004

The closest Cracker Barrel to the “Fort Lauderdale Beach home where I was born” is just off of 95 on the Boca/Deerfield Beach border. An interesting fact in itself, considering that there has probably never been a Jew in the damn restaurant. For the life of me I just can’t imagine Mrs. Goldfarb ordering country [...]

Of course, it always works out this way…

June 19, 2004

Within less than 24 hours of swearing off songwriting for good, I start writing songs in my head and scribbling little lines down on whatever little pieces of scrap paper I can find. Of course, it’s inevitable. I even started toying with another screwy idea: stealthissong.com. (wait, let me do a whois. Oh crap, someone [...]

Erection via inhaler

June 18, 2004

The BBC is reporting that Brit scientists have developed a viagra like inhaler. Need a hardon? Just unscrew (excuse the pun) and take a snort from your inhaler. It seems that there is plenty of ways for men with limp dicks to get some action, but what about guy’s that can get it up but [...]

I’m giving songwriting a break for a while.

June 18, 2004

It’s not that I don’t have any ideas, it’s just that I really don’t see any point at the present time. Pop music is all about fashion over form. Folk music is all about politics and running each other down. (Where is that Woody Guthrie speech on “Born to Lose” when you need it?) The [...]

“I met somebody on the street who couldn’t help but cry”

June 17, 2004

Sitting in the Starbucks and overhearing the conversation between a fireman, a cop and a lawyer. (Sounds a bit like a joke eh’) The three guys are all commiserating with each other about their recent divorces. Talking about how much “she took me for.” Pretty amazing to eavesdrop on this actually. It’s even more amazing [...]
