the days ahead of me are congested with work, pleasure, parents, insanity and hope. vegas calls and it looks like i'll be heading there this weekend and then again on wednesday morning. my comrade and fellow sagehen alumnus, hoopty, will be there from tonight till sunday for a bachelor party. its been almost a year and a half since i've last strained my neck looking...

i feel like a retard. not only did i not realize who you were all night, but i hardly even talked to you. Sometimes i get a bit hectic/tossed when playing host and my attention span is nil.

also, had i been paying attention, i would've made sure YOU got some veuve cliquot.

happy new year

flying into los angeles at night almost makes up for the lack of stars visibile from the city. from my jet plane window, its like seeing a star-filled sky in reverse. rather than look up at the constellations, you peer down and from about san bernardino all the way to the coast you can see a vast array of lights. white, yellow and if you...

i just stepped outside for my first cigarette since i left los angeles on monday. the only good thing about not smoking for a few days is that first drag after the lay off. i discovered on christmas eve that the baby sis has joined the rank of puffers when i opened up the glove box in her car to find a pack of smokes....

I'm thinking of doing something difficult. I won't say what it is since it's like some big fat deal when someone says they're going to and it never happens... Does that make sense? er...

today's previous journal entry was courtesy of john pizzarelli and the cafe americano that i treated myself to since i was out of bed at the crack of down and pounding away at work all early and shit. now that my coffee buzz has toned itself down to a hummmm i think i can start to process abstract thought and devote a few words to...

Happy Christmas

through every little rain drop and sky of blue
oh how my heart beats for you
past every little whistle stop and avenue
oh how my heart beats for you

you are my shining star no matter where you are
you're every rhyme i have in my repertoire
and you are the reason why i'm never blue
oh how my heart beats for you!

hope...

You know, I was gonna say Parker & Miles just because Parker was so much more a technical artist than 'Trane was. But then you get thinking of the 'Trane and Miles days and you can't help but be blown away.

i hate to be all chicken little and start sqwaking about how the sky is falling but there is something awry. perhaps it is the influence of saturn, which should be visable in the eastern sky shortly after sunset for the next few weeks. it could be this virus that has transformed itself into a cough that refuses to quit. things aren't helped that i'm...

Whoah... Michael Brecker is amazing! Are you familiar with the Brecker brothers work from the late 70's? Some of the best funk shit I ever did hear.

why won't this day end? it feels like i've been here for days. there's so much going on in my head that i haven't been able to commit many words to the page so i'm just sitting here making my fingers busy and counting the minutes till i can get the fuck out of dodge. i get headaches about as frequently as los angeles gets...

I think that the low slung neck is actually more risque than ever. Everyone's seen tummies and cleavage now, it's nothing new, but it's much more seductive to have everything covered, from head to toe, even your face is whited out with make up - and the only real large area of exposed skin is the nape of your neck and the top of your back...

who knew that so little could make someone so curious...

A spirited memorial for Ray Brown
By Don Heckman
Special to The Times

Ray Brown last performed at Catalina Bar & Grill in February. But there was an almost palpable sense of his presence at the club on Tuesday, when the Killer Trio All Stars Plus One opened a weeklong tribute to the great bassist, who died in July.

Guitarist Russell Malone, pianist Monty Alexander,...

You'd have to kill my brain. I'm still at war with something in my head and at this point I don't think the bunny is coming back anytime soon.

PS soft lips and warm kisses are nice though.
