so.there.we.were

i was incredibly underwhelmed by brazil’s performance yesterday, 1 – nil over croatia is not an auspicious way to start a repeat victory campaign. yes, i understand that they got their 3 points and at least they didn’t come from an own goal (like england’s), but the expectations are much higher for this team.  the [...]

well, i suppose that i asked for any number of smart ass answers if i ask such a broad question like “what music should i download”…. let’s review the suggestions that I have received so far: Dixie ChicksSoul AsylumAir Supply now that’s quite a range and the only band mentioned that I have ever listened [...]

Czech Republic 3 : United States 0 there went all interest in soccer in this country…

my e-music account is about to reload with my next 40 downloads….. any suggestions on what i should look for? this is a what is on my “saved for later” list, anything strike you guys as “must haves” or “don’t waste your time”? also, possibly expect some reviews in the next few weeks, possibly not: [...]

so, i know that england won by an own goal… but as the title of this post suggests, we’ll take it. 3 points are 3 points no matter how you come across them. paraguay is not an easy team to play coming out of the gate. just need some fine tuning to the line-up and [...]

1. no, it is not cheating to cut and paste from an e-mail, if you wrote the original e-mail… it is still something that i wrote….your opinion is wrong.2. thank you, we’ll see if it’s good to be back… being as how the critics were just waiting to pounce.3. both ellipses and sarcasm are indeed [...]

i’m going to try and work my way slowly back into updating. i’m making no promises but i’ll give it a shot.i’ve been on vacation/work trips for a couple of weeks but i do have a new pc at work so now i have for-profit speed at a non-profit job which equals free time to [...]

i just caught a myspace bulletin about a new thursday song, and although i wasn’t overwhelmed by the previous single from the album… this is awesome. i mean it. awesome. with a capital “awe”. the song is called “at this velocity” from the upcoming release a city by the light divided. very raw, ol’ fashioned [...]
