Have you ever started to eavesdrop on a conversation and then shortly thereafter realize that like, the whole like, conversation could probably be like, 1/3 the length, if like, they took all of the like…LIKES out if it?

You know how pregnant women have that “glow”? People that don’t have to go to work have that glow too.

I just really love music.[…]To me, there shouldn’t be any lines. All these ways we classify things as R&B and hip-hop and rock…It’s bullshit. It’s all music. If you put yourself in that box, then you won’t be able to hear that it’s all music at its soul. When people say stuff like, “Oh, that’s soft rock. I don’t listen to that,” I find that elitist. It’s music-racist.[laughs]

I’m sitting across from an older woman on the MAX. Her wedding ring is just a simple polished silver band w/ beveled edges. Something very classy about that.
Her whole look actually. Black shoes and tights, black and white (Chanel?) woven pattern dress, covered with a gracefully aged robin’s egg shell blue wool overcoat, age/style appropriate lens frames, effortless hair, well balanced jewelery and make-up. I’d guess closer to 60 years of age? The personification of classic.

Amazing, nearly three and a half minutes guitar solo of the Dire Straits classic Sultans of Swing. That definitive Mark Knopfler sound, just like every other guitar great, Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, they have their sound. It’s something universal, something every artist or designer strives for, a signature identifiable element that is your own. And if you’re lucky it makes you legendary, like Mark.

Today was like a mini vacation; so great. The sun was out, spent a lot of time on the bike. I had one of those great cosmic alignments of time, place, and music shuffle of my mp3 player today. Don’t you just love those? It’s like magic.
I also cooked tonight, like, cooked for real. I tweaked a meat loaf recipe and made roasted a bunch of vegetables which included brussel sprouts. My first brussel sprouts ever. I think I like them! The meal was a triumph.
BT’s These Hopeful Machines was released today, and as an added bonus I think my costochondritis is finally starting to go away!
I hope everyone else had a good day too.
