Hand out,
That way.
Sit up.
Last craze.
Move on,
Go slow.
The last one,
To know.
We’ll go on and on
We’ll go on and on
We’ll go on and on

Monday, February 22nd, 2010Swervin’ In My Lane
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing
‘Cause sometimes all my days are filled with rain
As I travel down life’s highway, things ain’t going my way
‘Cause there’s always someone swervin’ in my lane
You keep a-swervin’ in my lane and it’s causing’ lots of danger
I’m a-honkin’ on my horn, I’m a-shooting you the finger
I keep a-switchin’ on my bright lights, but you’re just too dim to know
When your swervin’ on life’s highway, you’re running someone off the road

Weezer (get a Snuggie with their new CD!)
Where I come from isn’t all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me
I didn’t go to boarding schools
Preppy girls never looked at me
Why should they, I ain’t nobody
Got nothing in my pocket

Netflix streaming with the Samsung BD-P1600
Friday, January 1st, 2010
For Christmas, my parents gave us a gift card to apply towards a Blu-ray player that could stream Netflix. I did some research on models this morning and picked out what I wanted: the Samsung BD-P1600. I don’t own any Blu-ray discs and may not ever. All I wanted was a player that would excel at streaming Netflix movies. If it could play discs too, well, so much the better.
I spent the evening playing around with it. How does it perform? Fantastically. On the first power-up, it took several minutes for the system to download an apply a firmware update. After that, though, it’s worked very well. I was stunned at the picture quality when I tried streaming some movies: it’s amazingly good. So much so that I’m not at all surprised now that the big cable companies are shitting bricks over this technology. The writing is on the wall for cable TV: I have 12,000+ titles of movies and television shows available for watching anytime. Why would I want to saddle myself with a costly cable subscription?

I will design a town in the image of your face.
Round the wrinkles of your eyes my footsteps you can trace.
We could promenade down infranasal depression.
The streets of your hands will never feel a recession.
It’s a secular day and it will be even better tomorrow.
It’s the first day of the integrated transport hub,
Let us celebrate this monument to progress.
We have reduced emissions by seventy-five percent.

No Sissies
Friday, October 16th, 2009What a great song. If I had a band I would cover this in a heartbeat.
No Sissies (YouTube)
Hawksley Workman
You’re being so tough to me
Like a leather jacket
I know you’ll have no sissies
No baby, you just wouldn’t hack it
Gotta be a strong man
To carry the beautiful burden of your love
No sissies get your love
No slackers get your love
No weaklings get your love
No suckers for your love
No actors for your love
No gangsters for your love
No sissies get your love

Crystal Ball
Friday, October 9th, 2009Who is the man I see
where I’m supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
under the iron sea.
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Lines ever more unclear,
Not sure I’m even here,
The more I look the more I think that I’m
starting to disappear.

We’re Not Getting Any Younger
Monday, August 17th, 2009Another gem Pandora brought me. What a great pop song.
We’re Not Getting Any Younger (free mp3 from ReverbNation)
Color Theory
I say I should take you home but you want to stay here
On the beach all alone with our blankets and beer
In the dark how we ache to fulfill this hunger
Cherish it now cause we’re not getting any younger
Ashes in fire pits and fires in our hearts as we move
Crashing waves in an urgent and quickening groove
Consummating the end of a perfect summer
Cherish it now cause we’re not getting any younger
