This week I have concluded that I prefer being woken up by earthquakes rather than being woken up be telemartketers.

Matter Of Comfort
I really want to sleep in my bed tonight. But that would require me folding and hanging all the laundry piled up on it. Guess I’m heading to the couch again.
Too Old For This Shit
I know that when striking to use elbows and forearms and not clenched fists. But as I look at my fingers right now, I am reminded that I do not always remeber to do this. Even typing hurts. Oh well, exerting agression did give me a momentary release.
Not Listening To Myslef
Many moons ago I set forth a rule — if you have to get drunk and/or high to do your job, then you need another job. Tonight the fact that I need a new job was driven home to me.
Lost Another Great One
Coming in a bit late on this one, but I would be remiss if I didn’t make mention of the passing of Nina Simone. There is no better soundtrack for sitting in a darkened room pulling big swigs off of a cheap bottle of wine than the music of Nina Simone. She displayed such a powerful voice, whether she was trying to get across love, heartache or impowerment, the message was clear. Glasses up! Hearts out! She will be missed…

The NBA provides little interest to me, and I am not a conspiricy theorist… but did you see the t’wolves/lakers game tonight? Let’s overlook the fact that a post season game ended at 2:32 AM EST. But the freaking calls down the stretch. You’re kidding me. I now would put major money on the Knicks getting the rights to draft LeBron James (or at the very least the Bulls). What little interest and respect I had remaining for the Association is basically gone at this point. They are not even trying to hide it.
Hip Folks
Know I’ve got cool friends when I have conversations like this — “So, what’d you do today?” “Cleaned up around the house, ran some errands, paid my taxes. What’d you do today?” “I had a photo shoot for Blender with the Flaming Lips.” How fucking cool is that?
Freud would have a field day
Note to all of the children enjoying andrewhealan.com today, when using your computer to take advantage of Much Music USA’s request show thingy, do NOT dedicate Nelly’s “Pimp Juice” to your mother. I can’t even decide which way to be bothered by that.
Things I Like
It just doesn’t get much better than overtime playoff hockey. But there is baseball in full swing. Gotta love a time of the year where the Royals are a juggernaut. And it’s Masters weekend. The NFL draft is just around the corner. And baseketball is almost over. Good times, good times indeed.
Interesting Programming
So TBS now runs Dawson’s Creek re-runs in the mornings. Who are they targeting with this? Unemployed high school drop-outs?
