"Music is a spiritual expression of what's in your heart. Music as a way of getting rich is a pretty new thing, and I often wonder if the mega-bucks glitzy atmosphere is making the quality of music suffer. You have to work really hard to get around that and remember why you're in it in the first place: because you have to be. It's like an addiction. You can't go a day without picking up your guitar. To me, the only commercial goals that are really valid are, 'Boy, I wish I didn't have to go to work. I wish I could do this all the time." -Trey Anastasio
"Impose rules to make life simpler. Break them to make life more fun." -Jon Fishman
I don’t know what is going on with Wednesday nights, but the last could of weeks it seems like everyone I know calls me at the same time. I have class on Wednesdays, so im busy anyway, and now there are a couple of happy hours that are happening and its like all of a sudden Wednesday is the night to go out. Bizarre. Its good to feel loved and popular, but I just wish it was more spread out throughout the week.
The Apprentice has to be the best show on TV. Seriously, im hooked. I really want the girls to lose next week, just so they can take the catfight to the board room. I really want to hear Trump put some of those women in their place. And last night- Sam- the man with the napoleon syndrome- got fired and stared down Trump with devil eyes. Oh, the drama! I love it that I have TiVo and can record that shit.
This weekend I am having the “Break your new year’s resolution party.” I am a little nervous, cause it seems like there will be quite a few friends in attendance, and I hope that the house is large enough and we will have enough booze for everyone. I think that the resolution that I will be breaking is to “stop hitting on other people’s girlfriends”- we are going to put together a big board for people to write their resolutions and how they are going to break them, so that everyone can help everyone else out…haha. Should be a good time.
I don’t know if its just cause im older or what, but when did presidential politics get to be so much fun? I mean, its like a new comedy show or something. Howard Dean’s head could explode at any minute; John Kerry looks like Frankenstein; Congress is about to stand up and give a “Heil hitler! to Bush; and John Stewart and the Daily Show is covering it all…im laughing so hard my sides hurt.
So, I shaved off my beard. I know I said I was going to post pictures and document it and all that, but im kinda sick of looking at my nasty face. Its not you, its me.
