Way of the Dragon

An old Bruce Lee movie. 90% of it is crap, I’m talkin’ dubbed slow movin’ bull pucky. The one exception is when Bruce whips out the nun-chucks and let’s ‘em fly. But other than that (and the ending) this movie is 70 ’s kung fu schlock.

But the ending fight scene is [...]

A life too short

My wife’s mother has been battling cancer off and on for 6+ years. This last Wednesday she died in her sleep. The wife and I had not truly known the seriousness of her situation and only learned just how bad it was recently. Once we learned the true extent of her illness [...]

Thanks, Az.

Hey everyone, I wanted to publicly thank Az for all his efforts in revitalizing this blog. Without his efforts I would not have been able to move from pure shite to the lower end of mediocrity. But.. but, hope springs eternal and with Az’s help and my meddling who knows where we can [...]

Attempt number 2

This is an attempt to create a playlist using Playlist.com’s embed playlist option. I like this because it allows me to string several songs together. In this case I have grouped several of my favorite Dr. Hook songs. Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show was somewhat popular band in the early 70’s. [...]

My first flirtation with music. Am I breaking the law?

I really couldn’t tell you. But since the web site I was on offered the share link, I would have to say no. I mean, it is one thing to leave the bank vault door open, it is quite another to give alarm codes, times the guards will not be present and a [...]

Not necessarily the news

I’m flipping through the channels last night and I see Network, the movie is on. I had heard this was a good movie and now that I have a flat screen HD TV I can experience movies just like they appeared in the theater, if by theater you mean the tiny HD screen I [...]

Working the system and stickin' it to the Man

In my journeys through the less well to do parts of Hillsborough county (and I have worked in just about every tough neighborhood, or relatively close by) I have learned many things. Now, I could dwell on how nice the various peoples are, how their cultures are unique and filled with traditions and their [...]

Music copyright laws suck. No joke in there, they just suck. Big time.

Hey Az, I believe I found a way around the music copyright thingee. I was doing some research on some legal sites last night and one site that seemed to know their stuff (citizen media law project) suggested playlist.com. They have a widget that I believe will work on the blog and I [...]

Here we grow again!

You know, I have used a lot of exclamation points. I mean, tons!!!!!!!!! Pardon the dust, but we are re-modeling. This look here seems to afford me the greatest amount of flexibility. And that’s what I’m all about baby, flexibility. In the real world old people often mock my lack [...]

My first picture on my updated blog

And I figured it should be someone close, someone who has made it big, or is at least big, generally speaking. One of the gang. So here’s a picture of Netty hard at work on the set of his first theatrical debut, ‘From Paris With Love’. Insider gossip has it that Netty [...]
