You Ever Walk Down The Street And Find An Ipod Full of Progressive Rock?

2008-07-13T08:58:00.000-07:00

Wiki has this to say about Progressive Rock:

Progressive rock (often shortened to "progressive", "prog", or "prog rock") is a form of rock music that evolved in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part of a "mostly British attempt to elevate rock music to new levels of artistic credibility." The term "art rock" is often used interchangeably with "progressive rock", though the two genres are not identical.

And in other news, Streamload, which used to host all my music samples for the blog, had been bought out, or was attempting to morph into MediaMax. Anyway, the process was not smooth, the files wouldn't download anymore and it just became really frustrating. Well they just shut down entirely. They couldn't transfer all the files over to mediamax and simply gave up. Very nice.

Probably the strangest video on YouTube. Really.

What Ayah Missed While She Was Away Meeting Prince at the Reform Convention

2008-06-08T22:24:00.000-07:00

Some good times, some sick times, lotssss of cat time, some bunny time, some swapmeet time (really means picking up and ogling useless items), some drinking, some leisure time, dispute time, and yup, lots of Missing her time.
Though when she gets back I'm gonna play it all John Wayne and pretend I did alot and I was super busy, and I "barely" noticed she was gone. She likes it when I play tricks, pranks, and jokes.
Loves it.

Grand Opening of PlayLand (Not At the Beach)

Ayah's holding the proof. It was definitely worth the $5 grand opening special, I don't know about the regular $15 rate, that's what I was told. So the title needs the word MUSEUM in it, so that you don't go expecting a "Playland", but rather knowing you're going to get some history and some sweet pinball action, which is free BTW.
I'm going to call him "Larry" and he was working the glow in the dark/blacklight room if you will, anyway Larry was so not animated and his room needs some Social Distortion or some Rock N Roll. I know its Volunteer run, but damnnnnnn, get some fun ones!!

Todo Sobre Mi Madre

2008-01-30T10:01:00.000-08:00

My Mother
---------------------------------------------

La Llorona was in the river.
Full moon nights, you couldn’t hear the water
Just the sobs
The mad cries of this woman
damned to an eternal search,
Who in desperate, extremist love
Drowned her children in the river.

My mother was adopted by her grandparents
Teaching her the secret of perfect yellow cake,
Buttery Handmade tortillas,
and refried beans from heaven.

Then her Bio parents moved in across the street.
They had eight more kids they kept.
She babysat them, going “home” across the street nightly.
She made it to 8th grade
Before she became indispensable to the other family.

She told me this story early
Being young, the perceptive sponge I was;
I wanted revenge
Not for the drowned children,
But for my mother and her lost childhood.

Thru her I knew La Llorona
like I knew my grandparent’s house
a little square house with trees all around
Close enough to the river

when you shut your eyes tight enough
you could hear the trickle.

I’d ask to hear the story of La Llorona,
While she cooked for me.
I liked hearing it.
Though it was a grim and ghastly
I preferred it to her childhood tales
Of baking, cooking, cleaning for 10.

I wanted to be her perfect boy
Don’t get rid of me.
I wanted to be no trouble
I wanted to be her glee and humor.

So, she cooked for me
And I ate as much as I could
That’s how much I loved her
And felt for her sadness, emptiness
Trying as hard as I could
To swallow it whole
All of it.

And now she’s so far away
And I think about calling her…
Of visiting the square house
with her
sitting
and asking her to tell me about La Llorona.

iPhone Release San Francisco 6.29.07 6pm, originally uploaded by cinemaone.

The iPhone from the line at least in the City, looks as if it will be immensely popular. The enthusiasm of the crowd should also entice some other non-tech and non-apple folks to at least check it out. Once some bugs are worked out with service providers, well watch out world is all I have to say. For many, they should think of it as a WiFi palm pilot (that is free internet if you have wireless), 8gig video iPod, 2MP camera, and fancy phone with Bluetooth hands free capability in a beautiful, compact, and easy to use combo-thing.
The line almost touched around a Large city block, close. Police had to come and push people off the street that had gathered to view the 6PM opening. Bad day for drivers with critical mass coming from one direction and iPhone madness blocking 2/4 lanes. Kinda awesome to be there even if I didn't end up with a phone, yet!!

I woke up with this song in my head. But the lyrics were different in my head. Mine were "the oldest living boy in New York". Mine were a tiny bit different. I guess. I like my version better. I thought about these two old guys I took a picture of on the subway. They were completely oblivious of the bit of technology that was occuring in front of them. Some bloke could have a camera on his phone???!! Not likely. These guys are from another time and they are best pals from childhood. Both are widowed and they live across the bay from one another, but stay at each other's houses for weeks on end. They watch PBS and the History channel on weeknights and go out for dinner and theatre twice a week.

"Kandi" 50 incall / 70 out call / 10 back of car, originally uploaded by fashionaddictdiary.

I didn't name the picture, or the title of this entry, but it is the LL doing her best impersonation of a crack HOE. I used to think that she was the shit and that she was the next great hope. I believe she can still pull her shit together and become a classy dame. I like her acting enough, her singing enough, and she sure is pretty enough. Now if we could just get LIndsey Lohan to start eating and stop partying with no-talent wannabe's, well, then... then, we'd be on to something really big and special. Special thanks to Fashionaddictdiary for finding such a gem of a picture.
Enjoy this damn good song by Miss LL herself.
Ohh yeah, if Mariah could come back from her lil self dug pit of hell then you can too, Lindsey!!
