Haiti, and your block.

Lets start to do some of this good ourselves.  I”m not really trying to tell you what to do, I write that down to tell myself.  I have had lofty goals of how I would fight the good fight, I don’t find myself as active as I would like.  Just texted 90999, and put the word Haiti in for the subject, and boom…. $10 of mine goes to bucket.  I”m broke, but  I got ten at times.  So yeah, if your reading, and you have felt a small tug, and the empathy in you needs some short outlet, or great outlet.  Give some loot, those peeps have been on a tough road as is, then some big planet shaking event goes down.

Red Cross Raises $1,000,000+ for Haiti Through Text Message Campaign~ Pretty cool eh?

That was yesterday, as tough as life seems for some of us, there are always greater needs for others.   Go team us.

I’m not really a “in my prayers” kind of fella, but my thoughts go deeply that way.

I”m glad the Chatholic Church has some loot to have ads

I know I know, they do it for the lost souls who left the church.  Big come back kinda vibe.  Best of luck to them.

Gold, in this case is pretty dope.

yeah yeah, I post stuff that I sell at my jobby job.  So, this is hella cool.  Talk about some blinged out pot pie, or the classic pie tin.  Italian Porcelain, and pretty doable for over the top daily use.

Bass… How low will I be able to go?

I”m hoping pretty low.  I have yet to bring the amp in from the back porch, but the pedal to fuzz things up will be attatched, and I hope to go low.  I just bought my first instrument since buying a 12″ head conga before going away to college in 92.  Crazy shit.  I have bought several turntables, lots of mixers, tons of replacement styli, several samplers (all of the same type), and one very useful multi effects pedal.  Those have brought me joy, and when I get a hold of another particular sample, I’ll go back into the world of making beats and such, at least I”m feeling that push rise.  But until then, I”m gonna rock this bass.  CL find, just 50 cheaper than than buying it  new.  The young woman that I got it from gave me the soft case, a stand, and the strap it came with, surely all from a package deal for her.  She was prompt and happy to be rid of the bass that she bought and had never really played it. She told me it had been played about 6 times.  I thought that was pretty funny, to tell someone that something was only used 6 times.  It was beyond the deal having been already done, so there was no angle of making the bass look better or newer than it was.  She said it was too big for her, and it was.  Win Win, she and I both have a good craigslist exchange.  I came home just now and didn’t turn on the tv, I picked up the bass, turned off the bright kitchen light, and played for a bit.  This is going to be a nice relationship.  I asked Amy if she had given the bass a name, she hadn’t.  She said for me to give it a good name, I’m not sure if I can yet, or if I will.  I know I will enjoy the meditation of it, the tones, and when the time is right in my building of only one downstairs neighbor, sounds of big low fuzzy swirls.  So yeah, if you think you might want to lean lovingly over an instrument, to let yourself rest your soul for a bit, do it.  Get that device, that sketchbook, heavy bag, that yoga mat.  Were at 2010.

I like his tones, especially in Little Girl In Bloom, and Song for While I”m Away.  I have surely mentioned this in some funky rant before, I can do that.

Second Place.  Not bad for only my second year of this fantasy football life.   Couple thoughts about 2010 NFL playoffs.  Dream superbowl, that is of the teams that are in the playoff…. Damn Bears!  I would like to see the NY Jets play the Green Bay Packers.  What will most likely happen?  San Diego Vs Dallas.

Playoff Fantasy Squad

I”m already pretty far behind the fools on the Dallas Wagon, oh well…

Go Ravens!

Happy New Year Yo… I think I’m getting fat.

Been a bit, I have been…. well..  getting fat.  Yep, this winter has so far been the winter of eating whatever the fuck I want.  I hadn’t had pizza since like mid spring.  I had a slice two nights ago, and left that experience thinking of pizza a lot.  I use to order a 16″ pizza and pretty much eat the whole thing.  I cut that behavior out of my life, along with other eating habits, and I dropped weight as a result.  That was spring and summer, last night I ordered a 16″ pizza and ate the whole thing, not good.  I”m putting this up because this kind of format helps me get back to what I need to do.  The pizza was good, but only for a little bit.  The end result of it was I was super full, and I had a whole damn pizza in my body.  I’m not a New Years resolution kind of person, but I can tell you this… I’m done with that shit.  Gonna rock fruit, almonds, and soup this week.  Get the workout plan going, and get back to where I was a couple months ago.  There I declared.  Even if no one reads this stuff, I declare to myself.

you know who sucks?

That broke down grown up riot grrl in the progressive insurance adds.  I can’t stand this woman’s  voice.

I just really liked this photo, it appeared in the NY Times.  Lots of talk about the poisoning of the waterways in order to kill of these particular fish…..   I say scoop em up for an boney fish filled fish fry.
