Saw this sign while I was riding my bike. Though it was pretty funny. . .you know. . .because dogs can't read.Summer is here and you know what that means, writing on my blog because I have nothing better to do. I am officially on summer vacation and it feels pretty good. Especially now that Indiana has adopted DST. Good God man, it is 8:48 pm and still light outside. Ben Franklin is a genius. I think he invented DST or at least thought it was a really good idea.
So I am back to write the first of what might be many blog entries. . .or it could be another month before you hear from me. Although I have the summer off, it is going to be a humdinger. I am getting married this summer to a girl who is everything I ever wanted. She is my best friend and is really good looking, so I can't think of anyone else to spend my life with. We are also going on a great honeymoon in Europe AND we are probably going to buy a house. All of these events put together equal a summer of flux and change and I am not nervous at all. I am damn excited people. Things are happening and I couldn't be more excited. Life seems to be a series of dull days marked by exciting events and I am getting ready to go through some exciting stuff. Hopefully I will post and let you know about some of it.
There were tow or three things that I was really itching to blog about, but I can't seem to remember what they were. I've had several epiphanies while driving around, but can't seem to remember any of them. I need to start jotting down notes, my mind isn't working correctly. I hate that feeling, knowing you had something meaningful to say, but just can't remember it. It's like when you go to the record store (do record stores even exist anymore) and you can't remember any albums that you want to buy. You know there are some that you've wanted for awhile, but you can't remember dick. Speaking of music, go buy a CD by "The Jayhawks" right now. God, they were a good band.

Yeah, The Jayhawks definitely rate on my all-time underrated list. I think I may have to stop saying "underrated" though and start saying "underexposed", because every rock critic always rated The Jayhawks very favorably. They just never sold as many records as a band of their caliber should have. Gary Louris is singing backup and writing songs for everybody from Rhett Miller to The Dixie Chicks nowadays.
"Underrated" would be better applied to a band like The Faces whose stature nowadays is not indicative of the actual contribution to rock music they made in their time. And their profile was unfairly affected by the trash Rod Stewart recorded in the 80's.
