Trying to pick up the pace

Things have been incredibly busy and wonderful at the same time over the last two months. My contributions have dropped off dramatically and some of you have probably given up. But that's alright, I still have my loyal audience clammoring for more. Okay, that last part is not true at all.

But life is good these days and I have some very important things I will post here shortly. It just has to be on hold for a few more days.


I want to point out one thing that made me very sad a couple of days ago. I had the TV on and I heard one of my favorite songs, "God Only Knows", come across. I watched the commercial intently as a group of people with s@&t-eating grins across their face stared emptily into the camera. The weirdness continued for 30 seconds. This beautiful song drawing me in more and more...the whole time I'm wondering "this must be big for Brian Wilson to sell songs from Pet Sounds." Then the final ten seconds reveal that the commercial annouces that Sam's Club (owned by you guessed it, Wal-mart) now accepts MasterCard. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I cannot begin to express my disappointment. I could understand if the commercial meant something, but for this profoundly important pop song (the first mainstream hit to have the word "God" in it) to talk about MasterCard and Sam's Club joining forces, it would be like "Imagine" being used by the administration to talk about the greatness that will be as a result of the war in Iraq. Well, maybe not that blasphemous, but you get my drift.

Anyways, stay tuned for more. I am done with school for the next month so time is my friend.
