I had a dream




Adam Sandler was playing backup quarterback for the Cowboys - he quickly hurt his arm, which was good because their regular backup guy was pretty jealous that some lamebrain actor could just walk on and take his job as a publicity stunt. To Adams' credit, he was taking the job seriously and had really progressed and done an admirable job learning his role and developing his skills. Then the kid who played AJ in the Sopranos was about 3 years old,and took his car for a joyride. He played a trick on a cop and was able to get away by stealing an old red pickup. It was in some crazy muddy, hilly place in the middle of New Jersey. Then it was my brother Ruben and me in that stolen red pickup and we were in San Antonio/Houston combined trying to get home. We drove through a drainage ditch to get away. We were in some really dirty, poor neighborhoods and driving in reverse until we got to the freeway. We drove way out of town then got back on course. At first Ruben had to make a doctors appointment, but then it was actually an appointment to spray someones house for bugs, or treat their swimming pool with chemicals, I forget which. San Antonio/ Houston had about 90 loops running around the city, kinda like a topographic map.Then we were interviewing a former prison gang guy about personal fitness. Then we were at the prison watching the electoral process - a debate between 'Gabriel' and some other guy trying to be head honcho among the Latino prison gang. Tony Danza supported Gabriel, as well as some old prisoner. Mr. Jefferson liked the other guy, who looked a lot more rugged than Gabriel. I figured if Mr. Jefferson liked him he had to be the obvious choice, even though I had no idea what his name was. I'm going back to sleep now.

Getting in my car on the way to work- I saw a cluster of balloons, blue and purple, rising, floating away menacingly.

Dude, I didn't even know text blogging could be done without twitter. Well, maybe I did but was too lazy to set it up before.

I can't stand it anymore...




Had to share this from the vaults - an old Peter and the Wolf performance from Loralee's place I recorded on my mp3 player. Sorry if the quality isn't up to snuff. You audiophiles will have to forgive me, but I think this song is fun. Marceline Day woulda loved it, SLC'er that she was.



PS - has anyone heard of flute beatboxing? I had no earthly idea it existed, but have to admit, I thought this was pretty cool - especially the second half.

Mellowfied

Here's hoping ol' Red and the gang make a stop in H-town as they head out east. Have been listening to some of their 'new stuff' lately and i thought it was purty.

From impromptu sessions at the House of Pies

A real conversation we actually had

If we start now, in this very moment.

...Okay...

I'm afraid to speak now

I think we have to get over that fear.

Did you say "you" or "we"

"We"

Oh, come on - you're going to have me write "Did you say
you or we a million times".

Come on, this is never going to work if we don't write, or
record our whole conversation.

Okay.

So time to get over the nerves.

But am I supposed to be funny?

I don't care; I think - I think we just need
to write everything down.

Okay, whatever you say. If that's what you say,
then we shall do it.

(awkward silence)

Lol

Yeah, i think it just becomes funny in and of itself.

I think that's a good place to end it.

Okay.
