new song up on the music page. give it a spin?

*well, its not really a new song. i wrote it almost a year ago. cheers.

give me my state park, or give me. . .

as many of you know, california has had some budget issues. in order to combat the ever-growing deficit, gov. schwarzenegger has proposed the closure of 48 state parks and the reduction of lifeguard staffing in 16 state beaches. in doing so, he’ll free up a whopping 9 million dollars. but the deficit is in the billions of dollars, you say. right you are. if you want to know a little more about the situation, click here. or, just read the email i may or may not have sent you. if you want to do something about it, write a letter to our governor and state legislature. here’s a link to a sample letter you can use. which can also be found in the first link i provided.

also, if you’re bored in front of your computer, go here. it’s a good cause.

here’s an amendment to my new year’s resolution concerning diet:

fewer fried foods, specifically a moratorium on all fried potato products.

i just might regret this. . .

i need to be. .  .i don’ t know where exactly. . . just not here.

do you know of a place?

chain emails

i hate chain emails.  especially ones of a religious or political nature.

new year resolutions

i know its more than a week late, but here are some of my new year resolutions.  tell me yours.  let’s help each other out.

read twenty books, learn to drive stick shift, run a marathon, wake up at 6am six days a week, go jogging or surfing for at least an hour 3-5 days a week, write a short story every two weeks, write one song each week, volunteer somewhere, keep in touch with people by emailing and writing letters, chew my food 25 times and generally eat more slowly, no red meat (pork, beef, chicken) for the year (gulp), write a poem everyday, cook new dishes at least once a week, see 10 concerts, learn a new language (spanish, chinese, or tagalog), play at least one show, see a wonder of the world (natural or man-made). oh, also, get a job.

so far, i’m a failure.  oddly enough, i’m doing well with the no read meat resolution.  expect a 10% decrease in sea life at year’s end.

the new year

yeah, let’s make it a good one.

happy new year,  one and all.
