Christmas & Foodkakke

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

First off I renounce anyone who says that AC/DC is not Christmas music. AC/DC is too Christmas music. Just listen to “I want a mistress for Christmas“.

Coffee_BackSecond, Why do the coffee gods hate me today? Four times it took me to get the caramel colored goodness past my lips. All ended in failure or worse…foodkakke.

The coffee conundrums:

Try number one was left on the train as I exited and it pulled away from the station. Someone might have a nice cup of coffee if they want it but I don’t think i’d drink a strange cup riding solo. That’s just me though.

The second attempt was less than successful. I tripped and gave my shirt a nice stain down the middle of my shirt and completed the mornings foodkakke. I’ll be wearing a jacket all day even while I’m indoors now.

As I tried to complete the third try I found myself walking between the two cafe’s that are on campus here at work. I decided to go to the ‘other’ one as I rarely go there and a change would be nice. The coffee machines were out for service. This doubled the time that it would have taken me to get coffee had I chosen the one I normally choose.

I headed to my normal coffee place and there was a cup of coffee waiting for me. I hope I don’t spill this.

Now if I could make that song into a reality and combine it for my love of coffee I’d have a happy happy Christmas…even if only for a little while.

I Cling Tightly

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

When I’m walkin’ under stars
I covet all the waning hours
All the lonely houses stand like monuments
To thieves

When I’m walkin’ in the dark
I’m free to covet all I want
You’ve made it all so very dangerous
I can’t stay away

When I’m walkin’ under trees
I’m free to covet all I please
New moons in the alley
And it’s madness calls to me

Tonight, tonight, tonight…

If I meet you in the night
You’re free to covet all you like
Don’t you try and stop me
I cling tightly…to this life

The cheese is old and moldy

I grow tired of the music that is being played today and I feel that I’m in desperate need of something ‘new’ or ‘different’ yet all these so called alternative bands fail me. Rock bands don’t serve me any better. I look to my friends and I see the same music in their collection that I hear day in and day out.

I need something with soul and funk, something that has a beat, something I can get my head around. Either high energy or slow jams. I don’t care what but something different. So far the only person who’s introduced me to something that I dig is the Tran-ster.

I crave more then I’m getting. I’m asking for someone fix it. By fixing it I mean recommend something for me either via email or posting here.but somehow do something because this stuff sucks. I love Live 105.3 but I’m sick of what they are playing lately.

GET THE MOLD OFF MY CHEESE!!!

It’s under my skin but out of my hands

I’ve been thinking a lot about my wedding lately. I’m wondering what it will be like. That sounds passive and it partly is but it also isn’t.

Romancejan2Orchid started this thought when she asked me on our Napa trip or maybe I asked her, I forget, ‘Do you ever think about getting married and what the ceremony and reception are going to be like?’ How would you want yours? Questions like that flew around that day during part of the drive. I didn’t think much of it at the time and I answered honestly and asked questions that came to my mind when they did. Albeit I’m sure they came slow for my pea brain. What I’m trying to say here is that Orchid and I had this conversation a month or so ago and yet with recent events I can’t stop thinking of it. It’s a dangerous subject for me. While I’m fine being by myself it took a long time to get there. When I think of this though I find my moods swing violently to ecstatic and gleeful to dark and sunken.

R&S had a beautiful reception a little over a week ago. Last night I was lucky enough to spend time with B&L as they invited me to their wonderful reception as well. So the conversation that Orchid and I had a few months ago has been rekindled.

I wonder what I’ll do as far as a theme, music, attire, location, traditions that I want to keep, and even traditions that I want to break. I know one tradition that I’ll be breaking or at least try to as my intended should have some say in this. Most of my very good best friends that I keep close, the ones I pour my heart out too, the ones that I empty my soul on, the ones that I confide in, the ones that love me unconditionally and always fill me when I’m empty…they are female. These people will be my groomsmen groomswomen.

Chicken Tikka Marsala goodness with a heaping helping of concern

(more…)

iTunes testing and goodness

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

I wonder how this works so lets see if it does. I had a good chat with a new friend this evening and it seems the more I get to know her the more I want to know her. I had to end the chat because the tumtum was making more noise then I could bear and I had to comfort it a bit. Either way I learned more about BT today and it was a good ending to a tough day.

Then I turned on iTunes and just grooved for a bit, surfed the web and chilled. Again it was good. It didn’t matter that the date I was supposed to have tonight canceled on me. Like I said before I didn’t have high hopes for it anyway.

Anyway here are some of the beats I grooved to this evening.

Atomic Dog – George Clinton

Murder By Numbers – The Police iTunes Format

Rappers Delight – Sugar Hill Gang

And my favorite of the night ….

We Dont Care – Kanye West

Night time now,
Groove one rockstars!
