3 things about today…

i’ve decided to make an effort to get back into the blogging game. it’s not that hard to do and it’s good discipline. healing for the mind and soul.

so i’m going to keep it simple to start with and just talk about 3 things each day. maybe it will be three different things each day, but i’ll make three points. i tried this awhile ago but it fizzled a bit.

1. Photography; here is a photograph i shot today.

It is of some of the books that are on my bed right now. i should read;The Doctor and The Devils and The Lost Weekend. not sure if  i will though. these are not books that i will keep on my bed tonight - well, except maybe for the Thomas and Jackson. oh, and i got all these books for .50cents each at a Goodwill store last week.  haha, and that Seinfeld book is an actual script of The Big Salad episode.

2. Music; not sure what made me do a search for Talking Heads tonight, but this is what i ended up looking at. i have never seen this before. never even knew there was footage of a live show in Rome from 1980. and did not know that this was when my main man Adrian Belew was with the band. this is freaking brilliant musicianship though! they are all so young and healthy and vital looking and Adrian is ALREADY a genius on his guitar. hearing the Talking Heads, actually listening to them again now takes me back so far in my memories, to a time when adult life was still new to me and i felt genuinely thrilled with a robust respect for this cutting edge artistry displayed by some of the hottest and most inspired musicians on the planet.

this concert recording was made shortly after i saw the Talking Heads perform live for the first and only time of my life when they visited Berkeley and played for free at Sproul Plaza in 1978. was anyone else there that day? my memories are sketchy but i’m sure that the show was announced on the radio; probably KSAN, and i think we (Nancy and I) ditched going to DVC to see them. i’ll have to ask her if she remembers going there with me. it was a noon time show.

3. Health; my health is in the black pits of a smelly and dank place right now and i’m too tired to rant on about it. so there. more tomorrow ok? pretty sure i;ll live throgh the night so i will wite ore wen I get my coffee.
