And this? This was funny. I think you've found your calling. I mean, the writing thing is pretty good and all, but clearly you were meant to dish out deadpan entertainment in 90 second snippets.
what's next? Taco's "Puttin' on the Ritz?" Come on with it.
Hey, quick tangent here...my (now ex) brother in law's next door neighbor in Atlanta is one Ed Gagliardi--bass player for Foreigner (up to the "4" album). He is one bitter, angry mahafiki; apparently Mick and the boys shafted him financially (no!! imagine that). Anyway, two yrs. ago Ed, my brother in law, and I went to see Clapton. On the way to the venue, my wise-ass brother in law cranked nothing but old Foreigner tunes (ones that Ed played on) and said nothing. He just tapped me secretly and pointed to Ed in the back seat who, by the 3rd tune, was convulsing uncontrollably, veins popping out of his forehead. ON the 5th tune, my brother in law suddenly "remembered" and said: "Oh...oh so sorry Ed." And Ed: "it's ok. it's all right. I've only been in therapy for this since 1987." And then proceeded to light the longest cigarette i've ever seen in my life; twice as long as a Virginia Slims, which he proceeded to finish in exactly three drags. So there's your "where are they now" bit. IN the back seat of a car, in suburban Atlanta, festering slowly toward death.
swine: i love that story - is there a 'vhi behind the music' in your brother in law's future?
hi brandon - blogging is so passive/agressive because we ALL threaten to commit blog suicide from time to time just to see who comes to our rescue . . .it's very co-dependent .. i make this threat every six months or so only to hear 'oh really? go ahead and jump then' in response.

Your hair is pretty.

two things:
uno: dude, 2 video posts w/ music in the background and neither song is by Journey? You, kind sir, are no Journey fan.
deux: my hair is totally prettier. this is a FACT.
thank you. i look forward to hearing from you and to future collaborative efforts.

Do you just sit in front of the camera and begin talking, or do you script it out first? Because I really can't tell.
Are you working your way through the TequilaCon soundtrack? Because I can't wait until you have Heart playing in the background.

dave, you should have seen it back in the day when it was flowing.
chris, she's going to have to make an appearance here before too long.
pea, the first video the music was accidental, but journey will have its time.
vahid, if it were a full two minutes, that would go well beyond my freshness dating. but i might be able to handle 90 seconds.
janet, well, for these two i sort of just had an idea in the car and the way home and practiced, so it wasn't completely ad lib.
jenny, god help us if i actually do 30 of these things.
swine, i pledge to use mahafiki at least three times today.
I think I'm in love with your wife.

i change my nom de plume every now and again when i get restless
Been daydreaming about bendy straws much?
miss syl, i do miss the days when a two word post led to 80 comments, but i don't think it would translate so well into video.
Try it. You never know.
The other thing about Little Jack Horner is, he always finishes with "What a good boy am I!"
A man I know once said, "Fuck this blog shit."
I think he was on to something.
shari, little jack horner was dirty.
peefer, miss syl, you guys remember my blog better than i do.
Are you making fun of me?
I just want to say you have great taste in music.
Thanks for Rickrolling us on the Tequilacon CD.
