Uncle Kracker Smile Crocodile

We follow and we drift away, but now let's all smile like the sun, fall out of bed, sing like a bird. #

So there's this awesome yellow shiny drum set idling by at home. I figured I've been musically challenged virtually all my life, except at age 5 when I had piano lessons twice a week. Though I'm old to learn and master a musical instrument and am pathetic in reading notes, much less in reaching them, maybe there's hope. Anything to contribute, right?

For a week now, I've been watching drum lessons online and trying to catch up. My fave teacher is Jared Falk who talks like he never reached his adolescence but has a collection of newbie-friendly videos instructing drummer wannabes a beat at a time.

All by myself and now playing eighth note rock beats. Should be doing better soon. #
nosebleed, stress, business

A writer's work means writing intensely for 8 to 9 hours a day for almost two weeks. And she still has to finish a take-home exam for Contemporary Philosophy tomorrow.

And The New Republic magazine calls her kind "The New Proles." It can be acknowledged as form of flattery based on realism and a slightly leftist orientation that blames the system for taking away her dignity.

Writers are poor.

That's writing for 40 hours a week for next to nothing. And if it isn't for love, it's disillusionment. #

Whut!

We will have but one option: We will have to adapt. The future will present itself with a ruthlessness yet unknown.
~Michelangelo Antonioni, filmmaker

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness ...
~first lines of Charles Dickens' The Tale of Two Cities

Culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world.
~Matthew Arnold, cultural critic

The only way to really change society is through culture ... it's not through force, it's not through armies, it's not through politics (but) through freedom.
~Dony McManus, artist

You are a fine person, Mr. Baggins ... but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!
~Gandalf in The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

"I find television very educating. Every time someone turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book."
~Groucho Marx, actor

Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find a face of his own.
~Logan P. Smith, essayist

God is in the details.
