Random Stuff ~Energy regaining: I’ve lost a lot of energy from being sick for a week and not eating that much during that time. I’m slowly started to regain it day by day. Riding the bicycle is not easy, but I am able to do it now. ~How about getting fined for cheering during your [...]
This week’s song is one of the lesser known hits from a very well known band. That band being Barenaked Ladies which have sold over 5 million records in the US and have charted a number one hit in 1998 with “One Week.” “Shoebox,” released in 1995, is the first single off of their third [...]
So, Woods is a nice psychedelic folk band from Brooklyn that create some amazing music. I love just throwing this record on and relaxing, smoking, thinking, grinding (lol nerd), whatever. Vocals are the love/hate type, so you’ll know pretty quickly whether you’ll enjoy this or not. You should though, if you know what’s good for [...]

Me and [...]
I was just a guest on VHI’s fun morning show today, talking about the ’90s alongside Judah Friedlander, who gave everyone fist bumps in the green room. The crazy false eyelashes the makeup lady put on me lasted all day. Here’s a link to the clip, which I can’t figure quite out how to embed: [...]

This WWD story by John Koblin, “Dude, Where’s My Magazine?,” has to be the most appalling media trend piece in the long history of appalling media trend pieces. Here’s the gist: thank GOD laid-back dudes who know how to drink beer and party and go to the gym are FINALLY in charge. All those uptight ladies [...]
Nancy Gibbs, journalistic idol to me and to many, has a great piece in Time called “Men Behaving Badly: What is it About Power That Makes Men Crazy?” She provides the requisite pop-psych answers about impulse control and ego.
