"Psychobilly musician Mojo Nixon wrote a song called 'Don Henley Must Die.' Some years later, Mojo was playing at Austin's Hole in the Wall when Don Henley, who was also scheduled to play in Austin, came in. Mojo announced he was going to play the song when Henley himself climbed up on stage and began beatboxing to the song, which left Mojo utterly speechless. The two have since become friends." |

"Today, I realized that if I save a Word Document as "What's Up", my computer will save it as: What's Up.doc. Made my day."
"Today in Health class, we were talking about healthy relationsips. The teacher asked the head cheerleader why she originally said yes to her boyfriend when he first asked her out, and of course, everyone expected a typical cheerleader response like "he's sooo hot.". Instead, the girl simply blushed and said "His last name is Riddle, and I thought that if we got married and had a son we could name him Tom Marvolo. That way, I could say Lord Voldemort is my son." The class just stared at her in awed silence. Never again will I insult a cheerleader."
"Today I told my husband I am pregnant. His response? We should talk to the baby for the first 3 years of its life in a British accent, just so it can adapt it and be the cool kid at school. I knew I picked the right guy."
"Today, I was talking to my friend on facebook. The conversation got funny and I cracked a joke, he replied with "LMAOROTFLBTCSTCNDBFOOTWI FOAGWLLBGWTHROOTSAIAKBAYB". When I questioned him about it, he wrote "Laughing my ass off rolling on the floor biting the carpet, scaring the cat, nearly dying by falling out of the window in front of a guy who looks like Bill Gates, who then horrified runs out on the street and is accidentally killed by a yellow bulldozer." Never again will I say "lol"."
i love this site. so much hilarity! |

today's livejournal writer's block question is, "Do you know any party tricks that can impress a crowd? Or even just a little kid?"
i'm amused at the structure of the question(s). i mean, sure, i know a little kid, but is that really so similar to knowing party tricks?
i can write backwards in cursive, does that count? i'm sure it would make for a fun party... |

i would like to write music for some sort of drum ensemble. like classical percussion ensemble music, maybe, but only for drums. with room for soloing and improvisation, too.
i also really need to brush up on my melodic instrument playing and writing and theory knowledge (becoming comfortable enough with it that i don't need to think about it so much while playing), so i hope to start working on that. maybe i'll try getting some help with it, since i seem to do better with instruction.
i also need to start playing jazz drums again. being at the rex last night reminded me of this. it also reminded me that i need to go see more jazz (or jazz-influenced) music.
i have a lot of musical wants and needs lately. |

"There is no sorrow, no anguish, that love cannot heal. And I don't mean just meeting a fabulous man or having a pet or being best pals with someone. I mean discovering for yourself love in its most profound sense - a feeling that inspires awe and an ocean of gratitude, and above all, a trust... What Tolstoy called "a relationship with the infinite". You can find this. Because, here is the beautiful secret, it is within you and it is endless. The more you think about the silent wonders that abound - your lungs for instance, your eyeball and the incredible intricacy of its work, the trees growing right now (think of all the trillions of trees on earth growing so gracefully and silently right now!) the forces that keep the walls around you steady and the sun rising at dawn, and on and on, the more you begin to realize that you are part of the divinity that is this world, the divinity that is the infinite origin of everything. How could you not be? And that nothing is asked of you or demanded of you other than for you to just BE. How often I've tried to get in the way of this! To muscle a different path for myself! A bird is a bird, a fish is a fish, just be, just be who you are!! Kids are masters at this, and what other being emits as much pure joy? You are enough, you are a miraculous creature, and that is all. Part of eternity. You are love. The most amazing thing you could ever do is simply let that be - let the love express itself. The rest, petty details. And you'll notice that when this realization really starts to live in your heart, you are less afraid. And fear I think is at the heart of all hatred, all harm, all suffering."
