Friday Music Cavalcade - Pt.1

So I think, barring some unforseen circumstances I will be making Friday's posts just a bunch of clips of the music I am listening to. These clips might be a little more "out there" than normal due to the fact that there will be more of them and I listen to some weird stuff. Like the first one:

Dabrye
Smoking the Edge


--------------------------------------------------------------------
Mos Def
Mathematics


---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bob Marley
Redemption Song
Classic. Make sure you HEAR the lyrics...


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pearl Jam
Black (Unplugged)



-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Talking Heads
(Nothing but) Flowers
I LOVE this song.

Smurfs Movie

Seriously, Hollywood has run out of ideas. A Smurfs movie? I watched the smurfs as akid and I tell you this: not feature length material. There are thousands of smurfs and their languague consists of replacing any and every word with the word: "smurf". They are all named smurf with some minor variation. Example: "Smurfy day to you Smurfette, did you smurf the smurfing smurf the other smurf? It was smurfy." Great. Two hours of that. Box Office Gold.

Hollywood has shown this year that they can produce new ideas even if they are based on books, especially lately with the glut of fantasy movies based on kids books thanks to Harry Potter. I just hope this writers strike doesnt make the movie business as stale as TV already pretty much is.

Getting tough

Its getting tough to get these in at the rate I have been. I'm wondering if any of you readers out there actually get through all the stuff I put in the posts in every post. Like if I changed updates to 2x a week, would it really be missed or would people feel they have time to get to everything?

Please, comments and suggestions.

Also I was at a charity auction this weekend for a private school in the Philadelphia area. Some guy paid 4 grand(!) for a wooden chest which second graders has just dumped paint on. And that was just a little of the insanity. Rich people be crazy.

Valenshmines Day

Valentine's Day is such a stupid, stupid "holiday". First, it was practically made up by Hallmark and the florists to sell you flowers and squares of cardboard. Roses get a 2,000% mark up during this week. So unbelievably dumb.

Second, the holiday is probably MEANT to make single people feel bad that they haven't coupled up. Like salt and pepper. Hot wings and blue cheese. Beavis and Butthead.

Cleansing with Fire

Remember those brush fires in Cal - E - Fornia awhile back? (I always say it in my head like the guvunuh now.) Well the truth is the reason it happened was not a terrorist act, as FOXnews speculated, but arson. Or unintentional arson. Whichever. But the reason it was so out of control is that regular wildfires rejuvenate forests, not decimate. They clear out underbrush that would prevent new tree growth. Also, the reason the fires were so bad is that we have been preventing them which made the underbrush coupled with the Santa Ana winds a deadly combination.

I find this works with life as well. I've never been one to sheen to gradual change. I think the best way to move on or make a change is a purge. That's why if I secure this new job I am looking at I am going to quit this one. No 2 week notice. I hope it comes to pass...
