Hot Licks

Found this cool post of the 20 Greatest Guitar Solos Ever, With Videos. It's actually a subset of a larger list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos, according to Guitar World. Both entertaining reads.

Here's #17, Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson, who if I'm not mistaken Dave and I saw in Cedar Rapids many moons ago. A little chill for your Wednesday morning. And where can I find that awesome jacket?

Woot Off!

Can't talk now, it's a Woot Off, man! A WOOT OFF!

Happy wooting!

You are right

That picture IS creepy. I should have gone with a pail full of puppies, something along those lines. Maybe a shovelful of kittie cats.

So how is everyone today? It's a crisp, chilly Monday morning...15 degrees according to the little box on the bottom of my browser. I love technology.
You wouldn't believe the zaniness going on in my life. Unfortunately, decorum prohibits me from elaborating. Had a blast Friday and an even better time Saturday. Sunday was an inevitable letdown, but I did get caught up on dishes and laundry, so that's a plus. They say not to overfill a washing machine but to me that's half the fun.

Big plans next weekend as well. I'm laying the points and taking the Colts if anyone's interested.

Peace and love, mah peeps.

Bitter or bear?

I had a lot of angry rambling I was going to do today, but instead I thought I'd just post a pic of this fuzzy little champ right here:



How can I be angry about anything?

For no other reason than I'm listening to All Things Must Pass this morning, here's George at The Concert for Bangladesh

One good date

A delicious dinner at a Cuban restaurant and a good glass of bourbon. Tonight I will sleep well.

Sexy times!

Finally got around to seeing this guy's movie:

If you have not yet seen Borat, I highly recommend it. It's not for kids, or the easily offended, or peope with assorted sticks up their assorted asses, but everyone else will love it. Really, really funny.

It's so simple!

I am

...one lucky man. That is all.

Step One...

I've seen it, you've seen it, we've all seen it. It's still funny though:

If you don't like the weather...

...in [place name] just wait a few minutes and it will change! Why do people say this? Have you ever lived somewhere where people don't say this? This is what weather does, people. It changes. That's why they call it weather. If it didn't change they wouldn't have to call it anything, it would just be. Dude, that's pretty deep.

Forward!

2006 was not a great year. No two ways about it. But I'm hoping that when the dust settles some good will come of it. If I choose to believe all of those people that say "everything happens for a reason" then, I guess, it all happened for a reason.

So my resolution that I actually intend on honoring (unlike, say, "get in shape", which you and I both know is a big fat lie) is to stop dwelling on the pain and misery and starting looking towards the future. To replace the unpleasant memories with thoughts of things that make me smile. To get off my ass and get on with my life.

I think I can do this. If you are one of the 5 people reading this blog who know me then I hope you can help me when I need it. I will continue to be, as I am today, grateful for your friendship.

Forward!
