About Me

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.
Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.
There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.
Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.
But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.
La dee da da da, La da da da da, Da da da, Da da, Da da da da da
La da da da, La da da, Da da, La da da da, La da, Da da.

Mothafuckin' MELVINS don't need a fancy title!!!!

Well, for starters, to keep with my typical dog poop theme (which I know you'd miss if I omitted it!) I have to point out that about a week ago, I experienced my first instance of Beau's poop literall...

The Politics of Dog Poop, or, how I learned to stop worrying and love

There was a time - before I realized the defensive power of the poop bag - that I was chagrined to carry it. Hell, even for a good while after that realization hit, I still found it embarrassing...

In deference to my dear Jen, I'll start the clever rhymes again...

A crisis of musical conscience...

Interminable, yet far too short - time plays with my mind like a spectator's sport...

One month three weeks?!?! WTF?! Stupid weddings. Can't it just be here already?? Yet, of course, the damnable flip side of too much to do and no way to pay for it all. ...

A dozen down, a million to go - "so little time, so much to know"

Wedding plans are bouncing along at a fairly steady pace! We just solidified Sean's attendants' tuxes today, so now all they need to do is get measured. My bridesmaids have all gotten (or...

Drama is delightful, drama is divine - drama would be fun for me, if I had some wine...

Isn't it fun when the shit hits the fan? I mean, air is so boring. Every room is improved by the addition of some particles of excrement to the atmosphere. Wedding plans are fallin...

Agony and irony, and just a hint of piety

Ok, I lied. No piety for me, kiddos! You all know me better than that, right? Fucking class recital today. I am getting really tired of this school shit. I don't know...
