information super pipeline love affair!

its may. 2009. what? how did that happen?

i'm a bit splintered in regards to what to make this post about...

guess i'll just spit it out~ i think i saw (one of) my favorite show(s) of 2009 a couple w/ends ago. it was (drumroll...)

THE MOTHER HIPS w special guest on keyboards JACKIE GREENE!!!

i know i get carried away with the things i love. i hear that it is part of my charm (supposedly). i mean, aren't most of our strengths also our weaknesses? so the fact that i can get so bat-shit crazy about some stuff, well, my passion for music that is harmonic, slightly complicated yet direct, earnest, ROCKIN'...these are all things that the mother hips music embodies, in my mind.

how do you all listen to music these days? i got tipped off about a new web dealio called "LaLa". apparently, it lets you listen to any song ONCE for free. i linked to (one of) my favorite 'hips album, just cuz, but you can cruz around on the site from there.

here's a MAJOR favorite 'hips song...learning how to embed this here...

Tired Wings - The Mother Hips

alongside being GEEKED on the mother hips music, i'm currently fascinated with SOCIAL MEDIA. it seems my eyeballs keep landing on those two words that appear back to back regularly now. i think seth godin, who you guys know i'm a fan of, pointed me towards this blog: the art of nonconformity, where this dude talks about how he became a real live writer in less than one year. so i'm reading that. also, someone tweeted about this site the other day on twitter: social media today, a blog about just that.

anyways, i see some of you faithful people come here even when i don't bother to say new stuff. i think that's just really cool. THANK YOU! i don't know what to say sometimes cuz i wanna say so many things at once, so i just say nothing. that's horse shit. you folks who KNOW ME know me KNOW how much i have to say...sometimes i get shy, yes. its true! yet, i'm the one who decided to start this freaky blog...i think it needs an update. even though blogger is easy, i like the fresh look of some of the other blog sites. need to deal w that. stay tuned!

if you take the time to listen to the track i posted here, tired wings, you'll hear why i named this post what i did!!! EPIC!!! around 2min 40sec...LOVE

Lurk or Lead?

seriously, if you are: an employee, an employer, self-employed, unemployed, IMploding, or EXploding, in my "heretic", wholehearted way, i fully think that each human can be better off after hearing this info than you were before you heard it.

right now, you can download it for free simply by registering at this audible.com website~ easy breezy. & the knowledge this guy, seth godin, drops is priceless. its sorta the obvious, but its chunked down in a very inspiring way.

oh. and it doesn't hurt that he's adamant about stating deadheads & jerry garcia to be at the forefront of contemporary tribes and leaders =) happy listening!

Can You Really Make Money Doing What You Love?

post by seth godin (my first time using digg to repost or whatevz):

"Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy. And the twist, because there is always a twist, is that as soon as you focus on your art and leave the money behind, you may just discover that this focus turns out to be the secret of actually breaking through and making money."

i highly recommend reading the rest of this!!!
