bring tesh back

by

i snooze for 1.5 hours in the morning.

i had grown accustom to john tesh’s mellow voice and soothing words of wisdom.
he always had good tips for living.
for some strange reason i liked him – he played mellow mom pop music… but at 5:45am thats all i can really deal with.

now he’s gone.

replaced by whoopi goldberg. i’m trying to giver her chance, a chance only based on her role in “ghost”. i don’t think its gonna work. she sounds uncomfortable and doesn’t sound like she has anything to really say. dumb callers call in to talk about nothing… except how much they love whoopi.

wake up with whoopi

you suck clear channel.
you suck Sunny! (WJJZ) (which i think is just called “Philly’s 106.1” now)

bring tesh back!

Bryan Ferry w/ a Beard (updated)

This was a picture from circa 1978.

UPDATE: I can’t find that Bryan Ferry bearded picture. So here he is with a mustache instead. (CF 11/11/2009)

UPDATE: Somebody has posted a 1978 video of Bryan covering Velvet Underground’s “What Goes On” with an in-development scraggily beard. (CF 11/01/2010)

when nickelodeon was young

by

i was young as well. after passing a bulletin on myspace i started remembering all the old shows i used to like on nickelodeon as a kid:
lost city of gold (or was it mysterious cities of gold?)
sebastian & belle
spartacus
you can’t do that on television
today’s special
out of control
mr. wizard
dangermouse (w/ bananaman)
science international
inspector gadget
double dare
make the grade
get the picture
finders keepers
muppet babies
heathcliff

and there was an old show that came on before out of control on staurday’s at about 6:00AM which involved kids living in a firehouse…i have no idea what it was called

wildcard proposal

by

i propose that no team with a losing record can make the mlb playoffs. there is a strong possibility this year that the NL wildcard team will have a losing record. this is unacceptable. the spot should be given to the next team with the best record in the opposing league. lets not let the league suffer because the NL hasn’t been able to get their act together.

home derby: ryan howard

all-star prediction: AL will win by 5 or more runs. score something like 12-5.

divorce american style

by

i found another scranton song, and its been on my hard drive for over 2 years!
scranton + fears of your wife leaving you for another woman = couldnt be happier

divorce american style
by johnny dowd
lyrics transcribed by me

sorrow and pity
misery and gloom
met in april
got married in june

a wedding of body
a marriage of mind
two hearts afire
four eyes gone blind

home in the suburbs of scranton, p.a.
both sets of in-laws not far away
a couple of kids: a boy and a girl
i was sitting on top of the world

nose to the grindstone six days a week
church on sunday to hear the preacher preach
i built my faith in jesus, was that a mistake?
my wife’s betrayal was hard to take

i found out the obvious way
i came home sick on a work day
she was in bed with my best friend’s wife
no bigger surprise have i had in my life

i stood and stared my mouth was open
i was dreaming this was what i was hoping
i started to holler
and my voice got hoarse
praise god almighty
i want a divorce

she said i’m sorry
i know how you feel
but my love for you was never real
you’re sweet and your gentle
you’re honest and true
but its boring as hell
living hear with you

i barely exist on an emotional plane
i’m one step away from going insane
she kept the children, i got the house
what the hell is it all about?

a responsible citizen i cease to be
i loved domesticity now look at me
the say its the children who suffer most
but they seem happy, its me thats lost

i sleep on the couch with the tv on
my life has gone terrible wrong
pornographic fantasies infect my brain
filling me up with guilt and shame

guilt, shame, sorrow, and gloom
met in april
married in june

a wedding of body
a marriage of mind
two hearts afire
four eyes gone blind
