Happy Birthday!

Hey, guess what else April 8th is?

My Wife's Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!

'Sup?

Hello Blog.

Sorry I've been ignoring you lately. My brain is chock-full of posts, but the calendar isn't chock-full of time. Plus I suffer from a bad case of "post-nesia". My posts are beautifully composed, full of flowery prose and profound ideas... until I sit in front of the computer. Then I forget everything I was thinking of and can only sputter out "Uh... how ya doin'? How 'bout that weather?"

So here I sit writing about how I can't think of anything to post because... I can't think of anything to post.

I guess some random thoughts will do:

- Jason Castro covered Bruddah Iz's version of "Over The Rainbow" on tonight's American Idol. Woooot for Hawaii!



- Ancient bands from Atlanta are kickin' some sonic butt right now. Both R.E.M.'s "Accelerate" and The B-52's "Funplex" are two of the best albums of 2008. My jaw dropped when, while reading a small blurb about "Funplex" in People, they noted that the median age of the band is 55. 55!. The whippersnappers over in R.E.M. are almost 50.





- Speaking of the walking (or singing) dead, the soundtrack for the Rolling Stones' new documentary, "Shine A Light", is also awesome which is amazing since the combined ages of all four members is about 100 years past death.



- The Pregnant Man. I love how the media is trying to promote this story as some kind of genetic miracle. A guy is pregnant!!! How can this be??? Are we entering some real age of X-Men? Uh. No. Repeat after me: Tran-sex-u-al. The "he" used to be a "she". And he/she still has the she plumbing. What we're actually witnessing is the world's first openly hermaphrodite individual. He/She's (It's?) appearance on Oprah was rife with TMIs. Don't mention "intercourse" around my wife.



- For the first time in many years I'm looking forward to seeing some movies...in a movie theatre! - Indiana Jones, James Bond, Star Trek (oh wait, that's next year now), Wall-E (gotta support the home team).

- Gasoline is up to $3.60+ a gallon. I'm about thiiiiiis close to tying a leash around my car and walking it to work.

- Yay! Lost still has five more episodes. I would have dropped to the floor and thrown a tantrum hissy fit rivaling any pissed-off three year old had "Meet Kevin Johnson" been the season finale.

There. Blog updated. Balance in the world is restored.
