Me, Myself, I

You think I should record my own version of this? How ironic that I tried to post this yesterday evening and by Monday night (later) I was concerned with whether or not I was "off the merry-go-round" or not. I may still be spinning for a while. I hope to recall the date has another meaning; "1/21/08 = one (me) to (back to) one, oh, wait!"...
Now I do have to wait... relax, refresh and refocus....

This song is by Joan Armatrading. Hope you dig it.

Don't forget your elders - particularly Ivor Cutler

Thanks to Tim for enlightening me as to who the man was who portrayed "Buster Bloodvessel" in The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" movie; he was a "keeper".

Evidently he wrote and sang his own songs, had a few albums, made tv appearances and wrote a few books(?), all in this very strange and simple style.
Since the video my friend sent me features a cat it was another good reason to post it.

"Pussy on the Mat" by Ivor Cutler


And, yes, there are a few more, nice, Ivor Cutler tidbits at YouTube, and this next video is one of them, a rockin' little number. (Anything where food is used in an unusual way is usually good enough for me.)

GUPPIES!!!!

I had nothing to do so I did this... er, not exactly from scratch, though I did select the clip-art, sizing, placement, etc... And wrote the words, of course...
It's a horrible little program at www.scholastic.com... Click on KIDS and then you'll have to find your way somehow to make your own graphics from the Goosebumps theme... Not that anyone really will, so why bother posting the link?

I want your BOD!

OK - I know this is stupid - but I just gotta post it.


Ok - I was given a nice gift set of cologne. But it's not cologne for old men like "Old Spice" or something. I was given a nice little set of three bottles from the BODman fragrance series. (No, I'd never heard of them, either.)


Check out the link below, it's just their main page, and it's the same illustration that is on the back of the box. I only wish that if I sprayed this shit on me that I would have the good fortune of running across not just one but FIVE "hot-lookin'" Barbie Doll models with nothing better to do then for all ALL of them to be hot and bothered for me!


Notice how ridiculous it is that instead of calling them "scents" they call them "flavors"! WTHF??? I don't think these would taste very good, I have no inclination to find out, or think for a minute that it's going to seem an attractive proposition to ask some cover model to lick my cologne flavor!

Rain Songs

Despite my recently being thoroughly blown away by new albums by the newly reformed Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and Cafe Tacvba, I figured I'd post a few videos for a few great songs about rain, and I'll address the above soon.


As I type this, it's raining pretty steady. We've been having a lot of rain lately for the past few days. Although we've been alerted to watch for flash floods, I wouldn't bet on that. No thunder or lightning here, and sometimes it's just drizzle...


The Move : Flowers In The Rain



The Lovin' Spoonful : Rain on the Roof



The Beatles : Rain

(I couldn't decide which of the four available videos to use, so someone put all four of them together. btw - notice Paul's very chipped front tooth!)



Hope you enjoy them!

About Me

My photo
Yes I am a real minister. But probably not the way in which you think I am. I am unorthodox (non-traditional). I am a minister of the Universal Life Church, based in Modesto, California. I'll have to post the full story sometime. This is probably the only "religion" I can see ever being a part of. You won't find traditionnally-religious themes here in the posts - onloy items that I hope help inspire some folks to proudly cultivate their uniqueness with no apologies so their spirit blossoms and soars.
