I like when you talk to me from a distance...

Keeping me warm on a Winter night,
Thinking of you Baby,
Keeping you warm on a Winter night

Friday Holiday Music - Jimmy Eat World

Wham!'s version of this is somewhat iconic, but it needed to be sped up a little...

Friday Holiday Music - Sia

Thus begins our visit into the holiday music.  Sia's holiday album is fantastic.

Friday Music - MGMT

Yes I know I skipped a week.  Sue me.

The insane thing is as you criticize me, YOU are peeking too.

Block me if I lie...

Friday Music - Charlie Puth

The dark clouds and short days are taking their toll...

This is a goofy video, but the song is solid...

Friday Music - Doss

I've been listening to more electronic lately...

Friday Music - Men Without Hats

It's horrible and wonderful at the same time, like me!

For a guy who rocks hard, he writes poppy songs!

I see someone is paying attention...

Friday Music - DMX

I hate when I realize I've been wasting my time on something...

Meant to include this song when Deadpool came out.  Just caught it on DVD.  Perfect song for the movie...

Friday Music - Chris de Burgh

I imagine I would have been making out with a cute blonde on a couch in the 1980's while this played on MTV.

Friday Music - The Avalanches

Wish you were in KC with me.  I'd suck your ribs!

Dancing on a boat...

Friday Music - The Killers

The first time I heard this song, I thought The Fixx had released a new album.

Tell me what you think Baby? X

Friday Music - Major Lazer

I feel guilty I'm there less and less, but one way streets are like that...

 

Friday Music - Andrew Gold

This reminds me of growing up in the 70's...

Friday Music - Alex Lahey

Summer's over...i'm bored...

Friday Music - Pumarosa

My heart still shudders shallow
and my knees still become unsteady uncertain
whenever I see playful straw curls...

Friday Music - The Chameleons

Caught these guys YEARS ago.  Heard this song the other day.  Forgotten how good they were...

Friday Music - HAIM & BloodPop

Heading forward, with objects in the rear view mirror getting further and further behind me.  I have my souvenirs...

The minute you realize even great big icebergs eventually melt...

Friday Music -Zeroleen

After four years, I'm finally feeling the last fog lifting...dear God did that mess me up.

Friday Music - Animotion

Not only the consummate 80's video, with EVERYTHING 80's in it (and a shout out to early cosplay), but I think this was the pinnacle of 80's synth pop.  After this point, it starting going downhill and fast.

It's actually a really good song...

Friday Music - Lady Gaga

I just like how she tells me everything is going be okay...

Friday Music - Tame Impala

So sad and angry right now...

Warning: adult themes and images...

A shadow trying desperately to reach for a kite will never reach it.  The kite HAS to come to the shadow...

Friday Music - Courtney Yasmineh

Hope you had a nice celebration...

Friday Music - Earth, Wind and Fire/Ozzy Osbourne

Most times, mash ups are absolute garbage, but this one works.  Sure a few notes are off, but...

The song still sounds good, Baby!  I guess we learned one shouldn't give up so easy.

Friday Music - The New Pornographers

Since you'll never comprehensively manumit your ferocious titillation, you unequivocally have a new muse...


Go see these guys: great show...

Friday Music - Grizzly Bear

You know that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that...

I'm tired of the game.

Friday Music - Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone

Okay, so there's an intro to the video, and this is more of a scene than anything else, but you always like making a scene...

tick tock goes the clock...

Friday Music - Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Linwood and many others

A stunning blonde had a purple streak in her hair.  My heart aches...

Happy Easter

Friday Music - Spoon

I can see something's up...

Good Friday

Friday Music - The Aces

First, this photo from 2015,

My comment: "I like this."

I love to cook...and flower pictures, including these from a few weeks back,

I like the golden inviting color.  And meet Sunny, also known as Sunshine,

I do not understand this all.  It's there, but I don't understand it.  Doesn't matter if these things were posted over the last hour or over the last two years...

Weird...

Three days of anything goes, two days of what we like most, one day of slow and steady winning the race, and one day of rest.

But I must be imagining things...

Friday Music - TV on the Radio

Love is permenant, no matter how much you are alone...

Friday Music - Bebe Rexha

Weird week...I like Bebe, so does my new muse.  You should listen to her entire catalog...

Friday Music - United Fruit

I was bummed to hear this week the band broke up.  I thought they were great.  A bit unrefined, but I never trust a band that sounds too refined.  That's the producer making something too polished.  I prefer my favorite things to have scars...

Friday Music - Thurston Moore

This reminds me so freaking much of 83 and 84...

I remember when a muse tried to trick me.  She pretended to hate something she was to see what my reaction would be.  I surprised her and told her hate was wrong.

I think my muse might be currently using the name 'John'...

Friday Music - Siouxsie & The Banshees

Something preoccupying you...Is he a good honest man? 

Friday Music - CHVRCHES

You've found someone...that's why you're quieter on your breadcrumb venues...

Friday Music - Lights

Heard in my headset when I was at a dentist appointment...over the drill...

Friday Music - As It Is

My 12 year old is saying I need to be cool...It's not bad...

The original is a much better song than the acoustic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpZL8cbLq4o

Friday Music - Nina Luna

A friend, with a lovely voice...

Three Years

I have been sober, by my own choice, for three years now.

January is a real bastard.  I never realized how bad my seasonal affective disorder was.  It's not the cold, as I prefer the feeling of cold to the feeling of heat.  It's the darkness.  More than a few days, I crawled back into bed during the day, pulled up the covers, and slept.  Not so much a depression.  More avoidance.

I still have the impulse urges, reminders of my old ways which sudden upon me like a flash of lightning.  Last week, as I was driving my son to sports, I drove past a liquor store and thought, "I can stop by there a lit..."

I shake my head.  No, I'm not aching for a drink.  I'm not parked in a liquor store parking lot asking for the justification to stay in my car.  I really do not want to drink again.  I'm not sure where those old habits lurk in my head, but I'm quick to push them back to wherever they came from.

I can say, without a doubt, my life is so much better without the alcohol.

I still won't celebrate until I get to 5 years, and even then I'll only do a steak; ribeye, medium rare, with good blue cheese on it.

Until then, Entenmann's Devils Food double chocolate donuts.  They are what I have when I'm hankering for something.  The craving is not booze, just something. The donuts prevent it from becoming something bad.

Friday Music - Roman Candle

I miss you too.  I miss your music. I wonder what's caught your ear...

Fountain Boy

I will fight tyranny...

Friday Music - The xx

Depressing Day. Worse is coming. I've been here before. 6/15/13

Friday Music - Hüsker Dü

Old school Minneapolis...

Friday Music - The Clash at Demonhead

Yes, that's Brie Larson.  That movie had everyone in it...
