Let's try this again...

This Saturday!

Dahg Dahg

Dylan and I just watched this while he ate breakfast. "Da... Dahg. Dahg." he said, while pointing...
It's a little surreal watching cute baby/pet videos on YouTube in the morning, with your cute baby/pet.

I guess I missed these back in November 2010, but I still find them hilarious and awesome. via The Onion.

Always brilliant

Never fails. Watch it twice.

Bare Wires

DIG IT.
"Their personal style, attitude and simply their sound have nothing false about it. They’ve created an awesome, perfectly dirty, fuzzy vibe with the perfect mix of lo-fi, wave washed sand in your beer and the smell of leather attitude. If that makes any sense at all. I’ll be listening to them this summer, that’s for sure."

Spring Sunday

With the Arndts, in Newport News.

Memory Lane

Apparently, Dylan listened to Black Flag for the first time yesterday (with Sarah on PhotoBooth).

I'm super late on the Netflix train, however, I joined last month. I love Netflix because the people don't give me dirty looks anymore when I rent the sleazy movies.

J Mascis

This whole album is amazing, not to mention this video.

Morning

Morning

BY BILLY COLLINS

Why do we bother with the rest of the day,

the swale of the afternoon,

the sudden dip into evening,

then night with his notorious perfumes,

his many-pointed stars?

This is the best—

throwing off the light covers,

feet on the cold floor,

and buzzing around the house on espresso—

maybe a splash of water on the face,

a palmful of vitamins—

but mostly buzzing around the house on espresso,

dictionary and atlas open on the rug,

the typewriter waiting for the key of the head,

a cello on the radio,

and, if necessary, the windows—

trees fifty, a hundred years old

out there,

heavy clouds on the way

and the lawn steaming like a horse

in the early morning.

College kids rule. As observed in the ODU vicinity this afternoon.

Das Blog g er

With 1,445 posts, since Aug 2005, I can't stop blogging with blogger!! Not now, not ever!!! Although it's place is becoming less and less relevant and more and more obtuse. Obtuse?  What's the mean? Oh wait, yeah, that's right...difficult to understand. Anyway, my point is, I saw this and got pumped for the old man's weblog!

Current reading:

What to Eat by Marion Nestle.
Good book on some common sense shit. We all eat, every day, but I don't think we really stop and think about it all that much. This book changes that.

im just sayin'

Neal...

Goodshit

Just when you think.. .

Damn.

Driving In-a postcard from Norfolk.

A perfect song.

Goddamn' Europeans–
take me back to
beautiful England

and the grey, damp filthiness of ages,
and battered books and fog rolling down behind the mountains,
on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.

Let me walk through the stinking alleys
to the music of drunken beatings;
past the Thames River; glistening
like gold hastily sold
for nothing; nothing!

Let me watch night fall on the river,
the moon rise up and turn to silver,
the sky move, the ocean shimmer,
the hedge shake, the last living rose; quiver.     

*While Nicki Minaj and Weezy town make all the money,
this lil' honey making all the good!

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

It's probably not a good idea to play football anymore. We have been hearing more and more about this, and for a long time now. Last night I read a great NYer article all about it how bad football will fuck you up. Memory? Forget about it. High level reasoning? Nope. Playing with the grandkids? Doubt it.
CTE is the reason and it is a real thing that probably affects all current players.

Here is a visual example of why football probably isn't a good idea anymore (this YouTube was actually mentioned in that article as a current example). Just in time for SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!!!

Studs Lonigan By James T. Farrell

I want to read this whole book now.
