Woke up in a terrible mood today. Don't know why. Maybe because I watched about 4 hours of really troubling TV last night, about wars and terrorists and giant violent forest fires. Now I am doing some work at my parents' house, and listening to Sirius 1st Wave - Classic Alternative. This is improving my mood ever so slightly, but you have to sit through a lot of crap to get to the good stuff. Does anyone really ever need to hear "Turning Japanese" ever again? But I was cheered up by some Tones on Tail and Elvis Costello. I wish I had a radio station. It would have a lot less Howard Jones and a lot more Talk Talk. Talk Talk. That's what I could use today. Few things create more lift than some nice Talk Talk.
I was thinking today about how I have a lot of really talented and creative friends, and there ought to be some way we could use that talent and creativity to all do something that would allow us to make lots enough money and quit our jobs and do stuff we want to do like go to Alaska or the Galapagos Islands or whatever. Any ideas?
Just want to make it clear that I am not against flags and I am not against teams. But I think team mentality can sometimes be dangerous. Like I think it is the need to feel like a part of a team that makes people join gangs or cults or terrorist groups. And I think it is bad when people on one team are really narrow-minded about the views or ideas or culture of other teams. And I think it would be nice if people stopped to think a minute about how things might improve a little if we all felt like one big global team. That's all I was talking about.
There was some GOOD teamwork last night among the American soldiers on Frontline. But it is largely due to religious teaming up that they were involved in their difficulties in the first place. Anyway, one reason I steer away from these kinds of debates and discussions is that I never seem to be able to express myself very clearly. Think I'll stick to bird reports and so forth.
Here are two reasons my brother is cool: He bought me a ticket to Elvis Costello, and he burned me a bunch of cool stuff off LimeWire. I can't wait to see Elvis Costello again. It will be my first show at Nokia Live. We have good seats.
Time to get lunch and go to my office now. Think about how we can all make some money doing something cool.

The Vapors are fun to hear once in a while as are the clocks. Hey why do we have seagulls in DFW?
We've always been tastemakers and style consultants, it's just never paid well.
Ah, there are many different types of gulls, and some of them like to hang out at lakes, ponds, and dumps, or places like the SuperTarget parking lot, where food is easy to find. You are probably seeing ring-billed gulls...loook for a black ring near the tip of their bill. If they have a black head, they are most likely Bonaparte's gulls. Herring Gulls are the great big ones you see a lot on the beach.
