30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 7 - 10 Songs I'm Loving Right Now

It's Day 7.  A week down and three or so to go.  Today we are going to talk about one of my most favorite subjects, music.  My list is not in any order.  Just what popped up in my head.

10 Songs I'm Loving Right Now

I recenlty went on a music buying binge and purchased several new and older albums (mp3).  (I don't buy CDs or plastic anymore if I can help it.  I am looking forward to the new Yes album due out this week.)  I have been spending much time with them.  My list comprises of songs from those artists and a few others that just have been stuck in my head.
  1. "Cold Dead Reckoning" from Homo Erraticus by Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull fame)
  2. "Aqualung" from Aqualung (40th Anniversary Special Edition) by Jethro Tull
  3. "Oldest Surfer on the Beach" from Songs from St. Somewhere by Jimmy Buffett (Too Drunk to Karaoke video.  It's from the same album. I couldn't find one for the other song.)
  4. "Somebody Who" from Move in Spectrums by Au Revoir Simone (Video)
  5. "Odds On" from Grinning Streak by Barenaked Ladies (Official Video)
  6. "The Pied Piper" from Follow Me by Crispian St. Peters (Video from Brit TV with really bad lip sync)
  7. "Stolen" from Dusk and Summer by Dashboard Confessional (Video, slightly faster than the album)
  8. "Symphony of Light from Grandine il Vento and Symphony of Light by Renaissance
  9. "In Your Shoes" from Shine On by Sarah McLachlan (Live Performance video)
  10. "Queen of America" from Page One by Steven Page (formerly of Barenaked Ladies)
This is just a smattering of the music I listen to everyday.  With over 17,000 songs on my iPod there are songs I haven't heard in years.  But when I feel like it, I know I can.  It beats the hell out of commercial radio.

Tomorrow, Day 8: Share something you struggle with.  Oh, boy.

How The New Mexican Government And Prison System Failed Its People

Anyone who knows me knows I like mystery and crime stories, especially true crime. So, I am a huge fan and viewer of the Investigation Discovery network. I view many programs and have my favorites. One show I recently stumbled upon was "Surviving Evil" hosted by the stunning actress, Charisma Carpenter , who herself a crime survivor. She and two friends suffered at the hands of a violent serial rapist and police officer Henry Hubbard, Jr. on San Diego's Torrey Pines State Beach in 1991. I don't want to go on about her, her surviving her attack or even the ID program, which airs Thursdays at 9 pm and re-airs throughout the week and is available On Demand. Well, actually, I do want to speak about one episode from the current season (the 3rd season), but not the show as much as how the law failed to truly punish the perpetrator of this crime. The show titled "Escaping The Arroyo" interviews the one surviving victim and tells the horrific story about two whi...

My First Blog

Unless I'm already mentally or emotionally stirred up I find it difficult to start anything.  Be it a rant, a conversation or a writing.  I'm sure if I don't get bored or disillusioned I will have something interesting or controversial to say.  I might even drop an occasional F bomb.   As this is my first outing, I will insert many random thoughts that clearly will lack continuity or proper linkage.  I will sound like a mental patient or someone suffering from Alzheimer's.  For instance, tomorrow is my birthday.  I turn 55.  Who cares, right?  Why are we so self-absorbed with ourselves?  I know from my POV I want to rule the world, be famous and shag any girl I desire.  I also know, as I'm sure you do too, that that's just not going to happen...ever.  But without these little dreams/daydreams I'd find it more difficult to crawl out of bed most mornings.   Random thought #2:  How do people quote lines by fa...

The JetBlue Fashion Police Takes A Bite Out Of ?????

I'll start off by saying that I have no love for JetBlue or any airliner for that matter. But with their latest allowance of employee empowerment to make fashion decisions or to determine what is proper flight attire solidifies why I will never fly with them. They have permanently joined the "I-won't-fly" ranks of American Airlines, Delta and Frontier Airlines. Though I find the young woman's outfit more suited for trolling Walmart or lounging around the house, there is nothing illicit, illegal or obscene to warrant being forced into a wardrobe change prior to boarding her Boston to Seattle flight or to suffer being removed from the flight altogether. If she passed through security that should be good enough. Also, this girl's ass makes that shite work. Work it honey. I'm a little sick and tired of reading about the morality police. People take their job duties beyond the job description into the realm where no customer service personnel should ever ...
