Creativity

I'm a pretty big fan of art, but for the life of me, I cannot tell good poetry from the bad.  I mean, all my favorite poems involve Nantucket... yeah, I just don't know... (LC)

Aw Nuts.

My math may be off but it it seems like it should say "more than". (LC)

That's the power of love

Some dude down the street owns a Delorean and leaves it uncovered and exposed to the elements in his front drive.  I know it's made of stainless steel, but still... I wonder if he'd give me 3 chances to guess what his favorite movie is... Sorry about the quality of this photo.  I wasn't brave enough to get any closer.  This is Wichita after all. (LC)

Metal sighting

I was watching a documentary on that band OMD the other morning and a dude wearing a Venom Shirt showed up:

The movie is available on YouTube. (LC)

Technology

I'm happily married but, Tinder yo.  Where was that when I was in college? (LC)

Wealth

People who own yellow Hummers have more money than they deserve. (LC)

Newsflash!

The world is full of shit that doesn't work the way it's supposed to. (LC)

Affirmative Action

Caveat: This post is by no means intended to make fun of people with disabilities.  Contrarily, this post is meant to praise an individual that has excelled with what may be perceived as a legitimate disadvantage...It's no secret that I'm a big fan of fighting.  I'm also kind of a closet equal rights freak. (I'm working on it, anyway.)  The Notorious Nick Newell is a really good fighter with a record of 12 wins 1 loss.  The dude was born without a left arm below the elbow.  But did I say he's really good? Yeah, most of his fights end in the 1st round, so don't feel bad that he only has one arm. He wouldn't want you to.  I've seen him do if a few times.  Nick beats dudes up in a way that makes them look bad.  He's fun, exciting, and a great personality for MMA.  Seems like a cool dude.  For all I know, he might like At The Gates.  I do feel bad for his opponents, though.  In the eyes of the unfamiliar, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.  If you win, you just beat a dude with one arm, you're a dick.  If you lose, you just lost to a dude with one arm...  Tough spot to be in. Ultimately, there's a pretty good chance you'll get choked out, anyway you fool.. In all seriousness, do you wanna know the secret to beat this guy? Right high kick. xoxo

Metal Sighting

Suicidal Tendencies on Miami Vice Season 2 Episode 21.  You can check this out for yourself if you have Netflix. (Miami Vice is one of the best shows ever made and well worth your time.)  Please do not confuse this sighting with the very similar Infectious Grooves appearance in Encino Man. (LC)

Art

People always argue about art.  Is it or isn't it good?  You know how some people say rap isn't even music?  Yeah, that kind of thing.  How about experimental art or music or noise? Is it art? Is it even music? How about Duchamp's urinal.  Is that art?  How about the group named Bang On A Can?  Say you buy a CD of theirs and don't like it.  It's not like you weren't warned, so that one's on you. (LC)

Battle of the Sexes part deuce

I don't know why I'm posting this.  I'm happily married, but... You know how on TV shows a woman can get away with throwing a drink in a man's face and he has to take it, you know, like a man. A dude can't throw a drink in a woman's face, though.  I know, I know.  It's an aggressive action or act of violence (which really is no laughing matter).  It's not like one can really throw a drink harder in the face of another, though, right? Wouldn't a woman throwing a drink be equally damaging as that of a man doing it?  So really, what it comes down to is no one should be throwing drinks no matter the gender.  This being said, behaviorally speaking, the conduct of men in situations where drinks are thrown seems to be frequently more deserving of this kind of reception than that of women.  So, for the men:  Learn to behave.  Ok, rant over.  I gotta go clean the house.  We have people coming over for the Mayweater-Pacquiao fight.

Battle of the Sexes

I'm happily married so I don't really know why I'm posting this.  You know how women are always looking for a "confident man".  I think that what they really mean is that they're looking someone to do everything for them.  Am I off base here? (LC)

Tastes

The thing is, I know what's good.  I just don't know what people like.  There's a difference. (LC)

the hits

(Quick preface: I had to ask KY about this because she's the psychology genius.) When a certain subject always brings up a specific memory, it's called a mental primer or trigger.  You know, like how the smell of IcyHot makes you think of the locker room in high school?...anyway, it does for me.  (If you care to learn more about metal triggers you can either 1) Google it like I did, or 2) click this link HERE . ) Ok, here's what I'm getting at:  So, there have been a lot of hit songs about specific women named ____?  You know, Boston's "Amanda", Starship's "Sara", The Police's "Roxanne" and Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana", etc, etc?  Well, I've known a whole bunch of Amandas, Saras, Roxannes, and Dirty Dianas in my life, so those songs can be about anyone.  I could be thinking about a many number of things when I hear those songs.  Here's the thing though: my quandary is with Toto's "Rosanna".  It's a fantastic song. Huge hit.  I've only known one Rosanna in my life ever, though, and that was my Junior High pal's mom.  An amazing woman, and terrific mom.  She raised a great family.  But I never thought of her in, you know, that way.  Except when that song comes on I have a mental trigger...of her.  Could be why I prefer "Africa".(LC)
