The industry in which I work (deeply I might add) is rampant with uneducated buffoons who make shitloads of money. They do not know how to read, type, text, fax, answer or receive phone calls, in an effort to sell, buy, market or represent their product nor can they hold any sort of mundane/obvious/necessary/legal conversation. They don't need to know these things you see, because...

I love coloring. I have just the right artistic attention span for it - no wait - make that just attention span in general. I love the smoothness of the marker, crayon, pencil, whatever it may be...i love the way it has guidelines to glide you through so you don't even have to think about it. I love that it has always been something both...

I meant to say relatively clever---relatively compared to my 17 y/o lyrics.
Are your kiddos musically inclined? Family band!

That cracked me up that you said that. Because often I find the outside voice talking to the computer often. Particularly when I spend a lot of time alone. 
This is the third time in as many days that I have typed out my nice little blog with photo and/or video accompaniment, only to go wandering off in search of said accompaniment which inadvertently wipes out the entire blog. It is so fucking aggravating to me that I am this much of a fucking Homer Simpson that I just end up stupid pissed and...

interesting, I had an alternate Buffalo Tom song in mind:
and "Enemy" is one o' my favorites ♥

Judging by the lyrics, you were way more clever at 17 than I was.
The only time my songs are performed are when my best friend in Oakland puts a band together for a couple weeks. I wish the bastard would move here with his drum kit so we could make sweet punk love together.

Fascinating or fascinated
The quandary becomes clear
Manipulates or manipulating
Those she holds dear
The question becomes about who she is
Not me or you or them
Truth becomes what she becomes
Regardless of how or when
We raise her up
We wave her high
Like our own continental flag
Truth becomes what we fear
It is all she wants to have
We reprimand
We...

lovely blog.
Treasure these moments.
Again, she'll be home before too long & you may want to remember treasure these moments apart. They could help get you through the next 11 months together.

Awww... it does suck that we are so far apart.
And I feel you on your girl, too. *huggles*

My own father is such a remarkable man...prior to meeting my husband I had never met another fella like him. He was the most caring, supportive, nurturing, intelligent, driven, and insightful father to his kids and I spent many years believing I would never be blessed with someone of that ilk in the developing of my own family. When echomnemonic entered my world time stopped....

Agreed. Beautiful sentiment and expression.

I am not used to being bored. LOL
Oh Christ -it's bed time.
I need this moment to say:
My man, husband, the father to my children
( and not intentionally-to all of "them") , (like there are 60 of em- chillens everywhere)
My love I have this to say to you:
Goddamn - I just love you so much.
You are a miraculous miracle maker.
And I adore the shit out of...

Thank you Friday, for finally showing me your face (so to speak)...cliched as this may be...I thought you would never arrive. I have to fire someone too. Fucking yay me. Some days I hate being in management, I end up being the very thing I spent most of my life ridiculing and rejecting. But anyway, that is the clever dichotomy of life isn't it? When...

Ah, the years of sitting with pen and paper, wherever we were, and taking stock of humanity... Sometimes I miss those days.
I don't envy you the task at hand today. I hope it goes as well as possible and leaves your spirit in tact. Wouldn't it be lovely if you could just pop over after work and shoot the shit over a beer and a shot (or several)? It is Friday, after all....
I can't help but wonder if our paths ever crossed in LA. I was only there for a year: May 1988 to June 1989. But I was peripherally involved in the Music biz, in that I worked for a big record store, dealt with vendors/labels, and got to go to a lot of free shows....

Lol... dude, I was a total nobody and I really have no names to drop, other than my opinion of the famous peeps who shopped in our store... But it occurred to me that we were running the same 'hoods at approximately the same time. I'm sure we slid past each other at the Formosa, or the the Cat n Fiddle or the Whisky, or somewhere.... Maybe people watching on Venice Beach....
My girl sent me this today. As you may or may not have heard she has left me for a month to visit her Californialand family. The funny part about it is she calls me literally every two hours when she leaves so I talk to her more when she is away than when she is here. You would think she was 5. But she...

shooting in the opposite direction . . . it seems to be the path all adolescents lean towards.
I'm terrified that one day I'll wake up and find Scout the president of her Young Republicans club - - just to spite us.

I will take you up on that chat-o-rama one of these days. Preferably a day when I feel less like killing things than I do today....
