"come from out of the tunnels we dig in, to see that tunneling's not living, and working dosen't work
or come to find that loveing is labor, labor's life and live's forever or come to see that keeping's not giveing, you get what you've given, you get what you deserve in the midst of all of the action, maybe only there for satisfaction...Chaseing sea foam dreams around another dirty old townparallel run streams towards gray ocean from the green ground; 'Oed und leer, das meer' but look beneath the glassey surfaceall the songs you hear; down there they have a purpose.All in all, we cannot stop singing, we cannot start sinkingwe swim until it ends they may kill and we may be parted, but we will ne'er be broken-hearted."-(Biomusicology) Ted Leo.. width="425" height="350" ..

who would i like to meet on my space? probably no one on myspace, i mean rather than collecting a bunch of fake internet "friends" i'd much rather just use this to communicate with the people i already know. who would i like to meet in the real world? people who aren't crazy, people who tell the truth about telling the truth, people who can entertain me almost as much as i entertain myself....... and Rickey Henderson, always Rickey Henderson.
The Who, The Clash, Wilco, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, The Old 97's, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Neil Young, Pedro The Lion, Randy Newman, Cheap Trick, The Replacements, Spoon, Pavement (they rep the east bay and are A's fans, this band is easily closer to my heart than any other) while i'm at it Stephen Malkmum and the Jicks, The band, They Might Be Giants, Nada Surf, Ryan Adams, Radiohead, Alkaline Trio, Hot Water Music.
..1 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissiou, Being There, Anchorman, Dr. Strangelove, Coming to America, Raising Arizona, Usual Suspects, Monty Python's Meaning of Life, Billy Madison, Rageing Bull, anything by Martin Scorscesse, anything by Wes Anderson, the good half of all of Jim Jarmusch's movies. a lot more than i can think of, or should probably get into; i could be here all day.
it's almost always on but i rarely find myself watching, i usually just leave it on comedy central or ESPN so that when i glance at it i can be randomly hit by a joke or a sports score or something that my short attention span can easily digest without too much thought, my one television weakness is sketch comedy, any skectch comedy show (except MAD TV *what a steaming pile of crap that show is*) also i've started watching Entourage a lot lately and have found it to be pretty entertaining.
overall i am in favor of them. Moneyball: the art of Winning at an unfair game, A Riot of our own by Johnny Green, anything by Hunter S. Thompson, he's insane and i love his writing style, and when my mind starts to drift Stedmand Grahm drawings are there to scare my eyes back to the text. Man on the Moon (Andy Kaufman biography) by Bob Zmuda, A People's History of The United States by Howard Zinn, i had it at work the other day, and somebody said, isn't that a text book. and i said "yeah, it's like a text book, but better." Created in Darkness by Troubled Americans (the best of McSweeney's humor category) i picked this book up while at Black Oak books in Berkely and spent the rest of the afternoon reading passages from it aloud to friends, and laughing until i cried, maybe the funniest book i've ever stumbled across.
...for me to poop on.
