About Me

Welcome to your new normal. It exists only in the forever of now, but what you do with it is completely up to you.
I am determined to make 2008 the best year of my life by making me better now.

I'd like to meet:

Richard Feynman, the physicist tops my list. However, his being dead is a big draw back.
I think I'd like to meet you.
Is that so wrong?

Music:

Here are the latest bits of music I've bought:
Lucia Micarelli - Interlude Agnes Milewski - pretty boys and ugly girls Sohodolls - 7" Vinyl of Stripper (red cover) Ween - White Pepper Robert Plant & Allison Krauss - Raising Sand Jenny Owen Youngs - Batten the Hatches The Puppini Sisters - Betcha Bottom Dollar Sohodolls - Ribbed Music for the Numb Generation Marian Filar - Chopin Piano Concertos
I love music. I sing, I play guitar with mediocrity and love most instruments. My house is filled with music. So is my car, and so is my soul. I have written a few songs. I am in the process of putting up my musical profile, the inimitable Doc Sluice, with my very first song - a tribute to the love of my life - aptly titled "La"

Movies:

Movies I have watched lately and enjoyed.Letters from Iwo Jima Flags of our Fathers Being There The Mighty They Live Fritz the Cat 3:10 to Yuma The Usual Suspects We Are Marshall Escape From New Yorkbr

Pulp Fiction - the Mother-Fuckin' Short Fuckin' version, fuckers.

Television:

TV was something I gave up when my first wife and I split up. I took my music. She took the TV. I got the better part of the deal. She wasn't too interested in child raising and I took my daughter. I really made out on that one, Jessica is a wonderful human. We had our moments, but we got passed them. I love her with all my heart.
There rarely seems to be anything worth watching on TV.
I am watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles, the first TV show I have gotten into since Rome. I have to admit, I enjoy it so far.

Books:

I just read Spook Country by William Gibson.
I am reading Diaries - the Python Years by Michael Palin.
My next book on deck is From Buchenwald to Carnegie Hall by Marian Filar.

Heroes:

Ghandi, Feynman and the like. More importantly, the heroes you never hear about who toil, strive and die to make the world better for others.

My Blog

Prongles kicked my ass .. .twice

I've been teaching Prongles (my youngest daughter, Lily) to play chess for many a year, but her interest has been fitful, at best. So two nights ago I asked her if she wanted to do something, pla...

Fucked and Back Again - a Toaster’s Holiday

Test to destruction. Am I in some fucked up short story about how much shit a person can take? I seems so. I have no idea how this all happened. I don't understand what the Universe is trying to tell ...

I am going to make my work life good again. I can't waste ten or more hours a day on something that doesn't make me smile. I haven't been smiling for months, and I like smiling. I used to be the ...

with my daughter. Just a long loop around the neighborhood. We talked. She's quite an amazing young lady. She thanked me for making her capable - teaching her to do lots of things, draw, sing, use kni...

"I thought I was calling a friend"

That is what she said to me. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to think. I thought being a friend was saying what you believe - telling a friend when you think they are going down the wrong ...
