Dick Van Blues

Mabel has been on a huge Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang kick lately and while every single song in both stream through my brain day and night even when I sleep this Dick Van Dyke clip seems to help keep me grounded. Cheers

Fante

Every winter I read Post Office by Bukowski and Salinger's Catcher and The Rye around Christmas, but today I decided that every Summer I'm going to re-read Ask the Dust by John Fante-partly for some motivation to get writing again and partly for, well just those other reasons. If you haven't read this book you should. It's the work that made Bukowski who he was and how he wrote. Booze and writing tend to go hand in hand I guess for most authors, which usually leaves no room for "true love" - thus a shitty downward spiraling life with great works of literature. Anyways, the movie is typical in the sense that it is no where half as good as the novel-but still worth seeing if you are too lazy to read. Cheers

i was wrong, im tired of winter. stay warm.

Lamb

I remember my Memah laying on the couch when she would stay with us up at the river constantly reading. In fact even when we were little kids and would go to the Berkshires to visit her and my grandpa in between playing in the pine tree fields or swimming in the pool she would be in her library/den reading. As a child I never thought to question what she was flooding her brain with with her feet perched up on the arm of the couch, but as I got older the desire to know and start building my own library gathered more in my heart and head. She never strayed from her honesty, and even when I was young taboo topics such as tattoos and religion were never something I couldn't inquire about to the beautiful lady comfortable on the couch with her book on her heart. Lamb by Christopher Moore is the one book she recommended that I read when it came out, and being the person I was then I shrugged it off. Then after she passed away and we divided up her things my older brother told me I needed to read it as well. He was right. From page one to page end this book had me smiling, laughing and still thinking the whole time. It is in no way your average "religions nuts and a conspiracy of coo coo shit-Dan Brown-esque" book. Instead it's a story that one might actually picture themselves being a part of in a topic with whatever "God" you bow your head to at night, or scream "NO THANKS" at when the sun is shining brightly. I'm glad my grandmother enjoyed this book because It brings me closer to her in a way I wish I could have related to her more when she was alive. I recommend this book to anyone, it lightens the heart and puts the head in a pool of memories and thoughts...at least for me.

yup

your Mona Lisa's lazy smile

I remember in 2000 hearing Relationship of Command and thinking it was going to be one of the best albums in the next 10 years. 10 years later I still hold true to that statement, although i would definitely have to say In/Casino/Out will always make me think back to hanging out with Tim, Teddy and Danny going to Peacock Music for hours on end. Always on repeat.

next purchase

get into it_review soon.

these days

so i've decided to start writing again more and less with the random videos of sappy songs and shit i like, only trouble is what to write about other than what current book i'm fumbling my way through at the present moment (Christopher Moore's Lamb). Not much is new in the world of team father/daughter-she is killing it at school and starting to use partial sentences which has my brain warped and my heart keeping file of every joy she brings me without even knowing it. It feels like yesterday we were bringing her home from the doctors and worried if the cats would mess with her or not and now shes chasing them around yelling "bad kitties" pulling their tales and tipping over their water dish. Life flows pretty fast down stream. Anyways working 60 plus hours a week for the restaurant and in the dungeon at the plaza has me pretty occupied so any free time is spent with the little angel. Oh well, couldn't ask for anything more even-and if i did it wouldn't be on here. Cheers.



i lied-another sappy song.
