Stick It Up Your Butt
"I know what comes out of there." Exactly. It's for things to go out, not for things to go in. Very basic anatomy, and not at all confusing. It's amazing how many men seem to want to get it wrong. Just to make absolutely sure there's confusion in the future, I'm considering getting a sideways one of these tattooed back there. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/174/394613100_e17d…— December 3, 2009 7:52 p.m.

I LOVE this vid with "Lebanese Blonde" from Thievery Corporation as the soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuyXTZuGPAs Great film. Perfect song choice. "Too low to find my way, too high to wonder why..."— December 3, 2009 9:26 a.m.

Thanks for that, Adam. I wasn't aware of it. Anything Ed does is golden. :) I'd heard of Tricky, but that was about it. I looked at a few of his vids -- really nice ambiance music. I have Massive Attack's "Teardrop" on something called The Classic Chillout Album, which also has people like Moby and Dido on it.— December 2, 2009 8:14 p.m.
Put On Your Dancin' Shoes
Re #111: And I STILL won't wear a helment to ride a bike, dammit! HELMETS! Hrumph! I mean, what's mah man supposed to do with this afro? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhAM1PTgoTg :)— December 2, 2009 7:07 a.m.

You may have heard this version before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPYM08916-A Here's an acoustic version of "Lightning Crashes," if you like, with lyrics in the sidebar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhwYaEGCpG4 And just because I love it, "Overcome:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxNNHW1TJBA Kowalczyk writes the lyrics. He's one deep cat. "The Distance to Here" might just be my favorite album of all time. http://www.amazon.com/Distance-Here-Live/dp/B0000… Those songs are just incredible, one right after the other. "Where Fishes Go" is downright OOB trippy. One more kinda interesting thing, then I'll shut down the Live Lovefest. I always thought that their music, particularly Kowalczyk's lyrics, were like the musical expression of Ken Wilber's work. They're SO on the same page. Turns out, they ARE friends. Ken wrote something like "There's something sickeningly sweet when two fans of each others' work meet." One of them was so giddy and nervous that he spilled wine all over himself. I think it was Kowalczyk. Okay, done. :)— December 2, 2009 6:49 a.m.
Hoarding and Cleaning
Heehee. I've been calling the tanning bed my "heat rock" for years. :) Yeah, yeah, I know. Cancer, schmancer.— December 1, 2009 10:52 p.m.
Hoarding and Cleaning
"...maybe there's some SAD going on there, too." You got the SAD too, Cuddle? I know I do. I lived in AZ for 6 years and wasn't depressed one day. (Not a bad hair day for 6 years, either.) If San Diego gets gloomy enough to trigger it for you, you definitely don't want to come anywhere north of San Francisco!— December 1, 2009 8:54 p.m.

"Who put the flower in the barrel of that gun?" - LIVE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwvQ1AVzHYE "Do I venture too far in saying that the little gestures are no different from the Big Ones? That the Big Ones were, in fact, just little ones that got out of control or happened at exactly the right time and in just the right place?" You are one astonishing young dude, my friend. 99.9% of humanity never figures this out, no matter what age they live to be. There are no small actions. They're ALL infinitely powerful. Just like the individual people who commit them.— December 1, 2009 8:40 p.m.
In Memory of
Lovely entry, Sibohan. I lost my dad 20 years ago. I think that some of those memories may come back to you, in time. I think pain (associated with loss, in this case) blocks memories for a while, as a defense mechanism.— December 1, 2009 3:32 a.m.
