Kim Jong

So the dictator of North Korea has died. I don't know what to think. As a Westerner, I am trained to think this man was evil... after all the country the man lead was put on the "Axis of Evil" by the U.S. Clearly at least the news broadcaster was saddened.

Just makes you think what is reality?

Anyhow... It will be really interesting to see what unfolds in the next year or two.

Crass or Truth-teller?

A brilliant thinker has died. Christopher Hitchens wrote provocative material. His most popular work was "God is Not Great," a very challenging piece of work for any who struggle with the idea of faith in "The Almighty."


I saw this clip today and thought about how authentic this man was. He seemed so clear about what he was thinking and feeling.... It's worth a squiz....

Song of the Day


Stars: Dead Hearts


Love the interplay. I would enjoy a little more content with the female vocals instead of repeating lines. But good song none-the-less.

A Winged Victory for the Sullen: We Played Some Open Chords


I find myself pausing as I listen to this song. Pausing in reflection, contemplation. Not in a sad and dramatic way, but in a way where I am more alive, where I have better perspective. This is a great album to listen to, but NOT while you are driving long distances :)


The album is self titled...

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Till the End of the World


Love the movie "Until the End of the World." Haven't seen it in years, but I do have the soundtrack...


More importantly for this post, Nick has often sported a 'stache...

Billy Joel: Piano Man


Great drinking song. This is not the best version, but it makes it on the 'stache this month... BTW the lick of the harmonica just before the song is pretty creepy...
