Haters

Image
People love to hate. We all do it. I hate on people who date Scarlett Johansson or marry Halle Berry , people hate on me b/c I tell them no, East Coast hates on West Coast , Hollywood hates on America and the list goes on. Its ok to be hater depending on what you do with that hate. The good people shake their heads and move on the bad ones turn their hate into a real thing. We all know republicans hate on democrats and vice versa. Now that democrats are in the White House its a full-time job for republicans. I think its nice to put things in perspective. Thanks to Kevin for the comic...

In addition to her political career, (Condoleeza) Rice is an accomplished concert pianist as well as a big-time National Football League fan. I knew she was a smart woman and I knew she was a concert pianist but I had no idea she was a football fan. Can you see Condi with one of the big foam horse hats? (Surely she's a Broncos fan, since there's no pro ball in Alabama.)   Condoleezza Rice signs with William Morris Agency

Skydog: The Duane Allman Story by Randy Poe Most people who know me know what a powerful influence Jimi Hendrix was in my life. He lead me down a wildly diverse but unique musical road. He also gave me some inspiration. I was a black kid who liked his music, he was a black man who played his music. Being an adventurous and slightly obsessive guitar fan I started to listen to rock radio and when I was a kid I heard “Rambling Man”, “Southbound” and “Jessica” on the radio all the time. I loved them because they had lots of guitar. As I read more and associated things…I thought Charlie Daniels was cool. I identified – quite bizarrely – with being Southern, and I mean redneck Southern. So, the Allman Brothers couldn’t be far off my radar. In college I was moving from a metalhead to a blues fanatic and again, the Allman Brothers were there. They were played on the same radio as Metallica and AC/DC and all the classic rock – guitar rock – I loved but they played blues songs and really

Shitty Day

Today was a day of frustrations. I can't find my wallet. So I can't go to the dog park by myself. Tara suggests we go to Shelby Bottoms together. A completely bonkers, out-of-control Johnders and I walk in the rain. Tara feeds Julia back in the car. We go to Turnip Truck , I didn't know we were going to Turnip Truck... We come home, I finish cleaning the house. We eat and then Julia goes completely bonkers & out-of-control. She won't settle down for shit. Tara and I have a few words...nothing unusual but with both of us being tired and with the rest of the days frustration it was a more snarky than usual. I know she's frustrated too - breastfeeding, lack of sleep but this post is about me. It was a shitty day.  Thank God for FIFA 09 & Genmaicha Tea
