Once. The Secret.
ONCE
I’ve got a movie recommendation for you.  Especially you, J-Mo, courtesy of Sdel.  You too, BJ.  And Momfia Godmother.  It’s a movie called “Once”.  I’m only about half way through it so far but it really is (as they said in the Netflix description) charming.  And the music is great, written by [...]


Marriage. Gay. Perspectives.
Let’s see if that blog title gets your attention. 
I saw “The Bank Job” a while ago.  It was pretty good.  At the end I said, “Wow.  If it weren’t for these sexual taboos or prudishness, none of this would have happened.”
There are taboos that should stay taboos.  Like that whole [...]


A (Satur)Day in the Life
Category: Life
Hey.  Guess what.
There’s no such thing as google.clom.  You know what I love about the ol’ internet?  The bunch of tubes that it is.  Googling, searching, filtering.  There are things that I am obsessed with.  Things that I enjoy to a degree that I can’t explain them:  maps and [...]


Congratulations, homosexuals!
Gay people!
You can get married in California now!  Wow.  For now.  Unless that state constitution amendment passes.  That would be a crazy roller coaster ride.  Working in the city makes you realize that there are more gay people than you realized.  Crazy.  And I mean, more people who are openly gay than you [...]


The Obama-Clinton Divide
Category: News and Politics
Here’s what I was trying to say in the previous blog:
The previous generations built the infrastructure, secured the resources and fought to level the playing field.  Our generation … well, we use the infrastructure, consume the resources and use our freedoms to do whatever the heck we want.
They were [...]


Generation X Parenting
I’m finally working on the new website.  So far it’s just a home page with music.  Any suggestions for what to do with the site?  I could host my blog there instead of here on myspace.  I suspect it would get no hits at all then.  Eh, anyway:

$1,000,000 Ideas
I had another million dollar idea today.
1. TRANSPARENT POST-IT NOTES
Mainly for designer and artsy types.  Specifically made with an adhesive that is LCD monitor-friendly.  Might need some bright, opaque markers.
To vary on the theme, a giant transparent post-it note that fits over the entire monitor screen.  So you can whiteboard on your monitor.
Of course, [...]


CD Releases

Lori Petty is a madwoman.  She is off the chain!
You know, for the longest time I thought that David Bowie and Iggy Pop were the same person.  Like Shock G. and Humpty Hump.
These peoples try to fade me.
I am … there is no emoticon to express the utter joy of [...]


Turtles all the way down
Category: Religion and Philosophy
My mind has been racing all day with what I’m about to write.    This is gonna be long.  I read something regarding religion or at least Christianity.  There are people that believe that religion is bulls—.  Some even say that it’s a form of mental illness.  [...]


Afrocentrism 2.0: Beyond Rev. Jeremiah Wright
Category: News and Politics
The following video has nothing to do with this blog. But it is funny. And cute. Enjoy.

Okay, everyone. I’ll get off of this race stuff. I will. It’s just that … it’s been in the news and everything. [...]
