30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 22 - 10 Random Songs

Ok.  I need to read these topics completely the night before.  I listen to about 8 hours of music a day.  Nowhere in there did I randomly let my iPod run.  I selected my music at the moment for what I wanted to hear.  I could have had this done this morning.  I think this assignment is lame.  LAME!!!  But I'm a trooper (Starship Trooper)  It's a Yes song.  Because I refuse to spend an hour or so listening to random songs when all I want to do is sit in my La-z-boy and read, you are getting the random 10 by way of next song fast forward.  I have over 17,000 songs on my iPod.  Some of them I even purchased.  We are not going to scratch the surface to what I own and play regularly.


Song List
  1. "This Charming Man" from the album You Can Play These Songs With Chords by Death Cab For Cutie (a cover of The Smiths song, which I also have.)
  2. "Come to Me" from the album Magnetic by Goo Goo Dolls
  3. "Time" from the album Full Moon, Dirty Hearts by INXS
  4. "Play in Time" from the album Benefit by Jethro Tull.  (This was the first Tull album I ever heard and owned and made me a lifetime fan.)
  5. "John Sinclair (Live) from the album Anthology: Disc 2 New York City by John Lennon
  6. "The Pine Marten's Jig" from the album A by Jethro Tull
  7. "Troubled Times" from the album Promised Land by Dar Williams (a cover of a Fountains of Wayne Song, which I might also have.)
  8. "Stop Baby" from the album Word of Mouth by Mike & The Mechanics (Mike Rutherford of Genesis side project)
  9. "Working Girls from the album "Windows in the Jungle" by 10cc
  10. "Get in the Car" from the album What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? by Echo & The Bunnymen
There you have an iota of my musical taste.  This wasn't as fun as I would have wanted it to be.  But then I'm a stick in the mud sometimes.

Tomorrow, Day 23: "A letter to someone, anyone"  I've got just the someone!

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...

Coronavirus, Part 19 - Vaccines

 It's almost Christmas. Possibly, some of us, will be able to receive a vaccine to protect, to some extent, from the Coronavirus. The medical community and the government believe that the vaccines will only be effective if at least 70-80% of the population receives it. As supply will not meet the criteria to accomplish this feat until Summer 2021, it's going to be a long winter and spring. However, people have demonstrated a reluctance in taking the "shot."  I have been vaccinated for everything you can be vaccinated for since childhood. And that was a very long time ago. I have received the flu vaccine for 20 years. And I have never been sick or got the flu. Knock on wood. I received every childhood vaccine to prevent childhood diseases. Recently, I took my first of two shots to protect me from Shingles, the adult version of Chicken Pox, which I had an extremely mild case as a child. I will receive my second shot in about two weeks. Happy Christmas to me! The questio...
