Rockin’ whatever…

Last night, I played at a pizza place called the Rockin’ Tomato. Their tele­vi­sions were show­ing snow­board­ing, so I was watch­ing the fly­ing tomato. Any other tomato metaphors to be had?

Beatles Review: Please Please me

I hope every­one likes the new look! I need to tweak it a bit, but I’m pretty happy with it. The first Bea­tle album was recorded in quite a hurry. They had released their sec­ond sin­gle, Please Please Me, and it had become a instant #1 smash hit. The music indus­try wasn’t really built on long […]

The update is coming, I promise…

And if this works, it means I can blog from my phone, which is pretty awe­some. And as another test, that’s the awe­some Span­ish tor­tilla my wife made yes­ter­day. And I need to stop using the word awesome.

On the night of Decem­ber 30th, we were in our 3rd floor room in the Hotel Melia when the fol­low­ing hap­pened at 11:19pm: Need­less to say, this was […]
