Politically speaking, I’m a pretty staunch moderate, so things like today’s New York Times story “Bush Looking for Means to Prevent Gay Marriage in U.S.” (registration required, yadda yadda yadda), really sticks a burr under my saddle. First, I believe that sexual preference is right up there with skin color and physical build. Saying that […]
So it would appear that the Fed is jangling the terrorism bell again. I say, we have freedom to bear arms, so let’s exploit it! First, recall all planes where the windows and hulls aren’t completely bulletproof. Next, on all the remaining flights you have the stewardesses hand out handguns and a license to kill […]

She could storm heaven peacefully, talk the fishes into walking to Gibraltar, run her flag up the pole before the Vatican and teach the Pope to belly-dance.

It’s only when faced with trivial questions like that that I become deeply aware of what a serious and respectable […]
In addition to the music project, I’ve also been trying to do some more art for art’s sake. It’s been a while since I’ve done any pieces simply for my portfolio (instead of for a client), so this weekend I started playing around again with animation. It’s a nice little piece, primarily just primary shapes […]
It’s a good thing I only play tennis for fun and exercise, because I suck.
So for this year’s Blogathon, the eternally-talented Scott Andrew LaPera and the stunningly cute (and equally talented) Shannon Campbell teamed up to write two songs in twenty-four hours. What blows my mind is that both songs, Southdown and Nothing New, are heartbreakingly beautiful, sounding like our generation’s answer to the great folk rock duos of […]
I just had one of those odd little flashes, where that little voice in the back of my head just whispered, “Psssst. It’s going to be fall soon.” To which the rest of my head replied, “Rock!” I love fall. It’s my favorite season, and until 2001 September was my second favorite month of the […]
