Some movies are, of course, bad. And you feel they were a general waste of time. Then there are other movies that make you want to bust out the pitchfork and destroy anyone who was at fault. For me “Superman Returns” was just such a movie. I am a huge nerd for Superman stuff and when I heard the movie was going to be made a few years ago, I got excited. The more time passes, the more I loathe the existence of that movie. You will have to pardon me for my harshness and my desire to kick the perpetrators of this monstrosity in their faces.

This is the first song I ever wrote. I wrote it on my first guitar of course, which was named “Bloody Fingers”. The guitar was purchased from a friend for $10 and was a classical acoustic with bronze wound strings on it (hence the name). I had just looked up some chords and made this song change fingers around those basic chords. I have always been pleased with how it sounded, which I cannot say for many of the songs that came soon after it. This song also features my patent pending “elbow shake” acoustic effect maker.

The Boy Scouts of America is a fine organization that has been teaching youngsters to do many good things throughout the years. They recently had their 100th jamboree in Virginia and there was much controversy over President Obama not showing up to the celebration but instead appearing on The View (and probably golfing too). Then there was this:

As you may be aware I enjoyed annoying my art teacher in high school. One thing that anyone who has taken an art class has had to do is to draw a still life scene. In our class the teacher loaded a table in the middle of the room with fake fruit, plants, random junk and bovine skeletons. She had spotlights shining onto the subjects. We were told to select three items from the scene to draw. As you might guess this was my selection:

Many people seek to “level the playing field” or “spread the wealth around” so as to be kind to others and have a utopia of sorts. I believe the claimed cause to be very noble and right, but the methods sought after by such individuals expose the motives of those who claim to believe this way.

It has been so long since I have been excited for an album to come out that wasn’t a gigantic disappointment when I heard the first single. I have found something that will be released on August 31, 2010 that I am excited about getting my slick mitts on. It is from the apparent genius behind Chris Cornell’s Euphoria Morning album (because judging by recent performance, it wasn’t Chris) Alain Johannes formerly of the band Eleven (which is also worth checking out).

In high school and college I was taught that along the political spectrum we have communists on the left and fascists on the right. I have heard many others outside of a school setting use this view many, many times as well. I must say that I have always absolutely despised this view of things. Come with me now and learn why.

I wrote this and recorded it within about a 20 minute time frame and it has been one of my favorites ever since. I even like the low quality mic sound on this one. It was recorded with a directly input bass and two acoustic tracks through a cheap PC mic. The name is after Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo Texas.

Many people freak out when someone famous gets near them. I have never envied the famous when it came to privacy or the ability to do things in public. For this reason I am pretty sure that I will never meet anyone famous.

Quite a common quote thrown around is said to have been made by Thomas Jefferson. I have not been able to track down an actual reference for the statement coming from Jefferson and am prepared to publicly call B.S. on it. As with most things I leave it open to new information.
