It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

Song Of The Day

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but every morning I wake up with a song in my head. Every morning. I don't just wake up and start thinking of it. It actually seems to start before I wake up, so that by the time I am conscious of it, I know that it has actually been playing in my mind for quite a while. I don't know where the songs come from, and they range from Sam Cooke to Ween to Van Halen to Dylan to The Roots. Sometimes songs that I haven't heard since junior-high dances (Van Halen being the prime example).

This morning, the song of the day: "New Slang" by The Shins
At least it's a decent song to wake up to. You have no idea the impact that hearing someone like Van Halen in your brain first thing in the morning will have on your entire day. It probably causes permanent damage. Come to think of it, that may explain an awful lot.
