About Me

In Driver's Ed they teach you to drive with your hands at 10 and 2. What are you supposed to do the rest of the time--drive with your feet?
(The above joke is copyright 2007, Bobby Horton.)
What I've been listening to lately:
Conway Twitty "Walk On By"
Gene Burks "Can't Stand Your Fooling Around"
Rocket Morgan "You're Humbuggin' Me"
Joe Tex "Pneumonia"
I read from left to right.
I wish there were 27 hours in a day 'cause I sure would like to have three extra hours of sleep. But as it is now I'm the king of the snooze bar. I don't even hear my alarm the first four or five times.
I get a kick out of Craigslist ...especially the "best of" section.
I don't like the saying "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" .
Nor do I care for the acronym "TGIF" .
I'm always listening to music and I am attempting to do some animation right now.
I believe that maturity comes not with age but rather with life experiences.

My Interests

Steel guitar, cartoons, listening to records, transfering records to CD's, making excellent compilations, makin' people laugh, RC Cola, Hammond organ, guitar, xylophone, spelling, etc.

Mitchisms, Part 3

I asked this guy for directions to the store. He said "Oh, that's just a hop, skip and a jump away." Well... that ain't how I'm getting there. You got any directions for those who are walking? ...

Check It Out

The best part about moving is stumbling across music that you may have overlooked in the past. I found a Waylon Jennings CD the other day and decided to give it a listen. It's pretty cool--he covers a...

Mitchisms, Part 2

I like buying snacks from a vending machine because food is better when it falls. Sometimes at the grocery, I'll drop a candy bar so that it will achieve its maximum flavor potential. On a traffic lig...

Mitchisms

Yeah, I'm not into sports. If I had athlete's foot, my first reaction would be, "That's not my fuckin' foot. I refuse to walk on it. I have a friend who is a juggler. When I go to his house I ...
