Blue October - Bleed Out

Someone asked me what the 'Morgan Freeman' reference was about in a recent post. I don't remember where I saw it or how I got it, but here it is. It still makes me snort.

And Then I Came Across This

Now, I would have had to conceded to the 'possibility' of letting this fly...but I still stick to my story of not using the T-word.

Parent-Teacher Night 2013 or Shoot Me Now

So my all my fears are confirmed. I am the worst parent I know and there is now photographic proof of this. Of course, it had to be displayed on the wall outside of my daughters First Grade classroom on Parent-Teacher Night for everyone to see. While other children chose more 'upbeat' emotions to display, mine chose 'sad'.

"I feel sad...
When 'my parints yal at me and when peeple be mein to me.'"

I hoped against hope that her spelling would confuse anyone who saw it like other parents, teachers, child services....

And the 'face'! I'm sure the teacher was wondering what horrific image or 'recovered memory' my daughter called up to make that face.

We sat on tiny chairs in the hallway as we awaited our turn to be called in to the classroom. My wife and I tried to make light of it but gave up as we witnessed the facial expressions of other parents as they looked over the wall of photographic emotions or in our case, The Wall of Shame.

Be the Aaron !

Mad Love!

I was hoping to see Stevie Nicks nominated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year but it looks I'll have to wait for next year. However, Linda Ronstadt is nominated and trailing in the vote. I'm not particularly happy about this. I had Linda's poster right next to Stevie's on my wall as a teenager.

It seems to me that she deserves to be in the Hall of Fame as much as any of the other nominees and it just feels like this should be her year. With the news that she has lost her singing voice due to Parkinson's, it would be wonderful to see...to HEAR other voices lifting up in her honor for all her years and contributions to rock.

Here's a link to the voting. Go, vote, for whoever you want to, but it would sure be nice to see her get in this year.
