NaBloWriMo Day 21 – Musical Moments
There are two songs that get me a jumpin’ and doing the boot scootn’ boogie. Both songs are by a great American named Jerry Reed. You remember Jerry from the “Smokey and the Bandit” movies. He was also one of the best artists of a generation. He’s one of my favorites and it was sad when he passed away some years back. Man was just cool personified. Two songs below for your listening pleasure. Both are hilarious fun. First is “Amos Moses” and second is “Lord Mr. Ford.”
NaBloWriMo Day 14 – Aaronmusical
I think that my life could be made into a movie. I’m not saying this because I’m cooler than most of you or anything. I think it would make a great John Cusack bromance romantic comedy medical drama with a little thriller here and there. I’m pretty sure Mr. Cusack’s films that have featured many of these similar kind of storylines would lend themselves to my story. In fact, I don’t think anyone could play me with as much finesse as John Cusack.
What music would my movie contain? Well, I’m glad you asked. Because I’m going to tell you. Whether you like it or not. So there.

NaBloWriMo Day 7 – Musically Inclined
I have a deep and abiding love for music. This love is complicated by my eclectic collection of music and artists and the simple fact that I don’t have a cadre of favorite artists that I cull my musical listening. A former roommate once commented that those that are unable to name a favorite artist are empty headed fools with no real true appreciation for music.
She was also a music nerd/snob so I couldn’t really disagree with her because simply put I would never be right in her eyes. Her musical interests also ran completely counter to my own so that may have had something to do with it.
The point is that I have one artist of which I worship without question. Beyond that my Itunes library is like a paper supply train wreck. It’s all over the place and literally lacks a focus that you find in most people’s musical library.
Loving Each Day
I love music. I love jamming to the music in my IPOD. There are a few songs I could listen to all day. Those songs are listed here. The latest song is just makes me start getting funky on the dance floor. It’s a pop kinda tune with a fun beat and sing along. What is that song? It is…
Happy Valentines Day
I suppose you could probably attach the label schizophrenic to me sometimes. I have a long documented hate for the day of February 14th. (see here, here, here).
But then the day comes and I have this place in my heart that softens a little and gets all mushy and stuff. I guess I’m not a true Patriot Against Valentines. My friend Pat is a true hater of Valentines Day. He usually does a missive that I do enjoy.
Beauty on All Hallows Eve
OoOOoOoOOooO…BOO!
Right. I scared ya. I scared ya pants less. Er…wait. Put those back on.
Happy Halloween. Where little kids and grown ups all get dressed up and walk around hitting people up for candy. Whoop whoop. I never really enjoyed Halloween as a kid. I was always dressed as Dracula because as well all know…Drac gets the ladies. All the Dracula movies have these pretty ladies with him so I guess as boy I figured if the movie Drac could do it, so could I!
It never worked. I do have something for you today as the last post before we sign off with fresh content. I have a song I love. It’s an oldie but it’s by one of the best groups in ‘da world. See the rest below…
