Some years ago, a dear friend of mine
sent me a pic of this ukulele from a music store in Cali.
I tried looking for one and thought I could learn to play it.
But alas, another instrument I didn’t get to try.
We could’ve made beautiful music together.
Ah! Who am I kidding.
I would’ve just stared at it coz it’s so cute.

“And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score.” – Fleetwood Mac
One of the things that help me grow in music
is to listen to other music or bands that my friends recommend.
This one was recommended by my good friend, Avelyn.
Never Say Never
Music by The Fray
Covered by yours truly.
I thought I’d also try to do a piano/keyboard twist on it.
Not just because the piano has that certain feel to it
that would make any song resonate a whole lot more emotion,
but also because I haven’t replaced my Guitar strings
and I had no choice.
What? I was busy.

You know,
I could be a millionaire too.
I was thinking about this the other day,
when I read about those young entrepreneurs who
at their age, have accomplished big things
that made them rich and famous.
I am too old for starting something big, but
I realized that I don’t have to actually invent something.
I don’t have to come up with the “Next best thing since sliced bread.”
I mean, I am pretty sure the person who invented “Sliced Bread”
did not invent Bread, nor the act of slicing.
All he did was make use of what was already there.
So that’s it!
That’s what I need.
Some great “Idea.”
And some “Bread.”
Did this post made any sense?
Of course not.
It never fails.
All week long, the weather was hot as hot can be.
There was a forecast that it was going to rain all weekend.
But it didn’t.
So, since the sun was shining bright,
Tyler and I washed my car.
Then this morning,
Lo and behold,
It was raining like a mother trucker.
We even got flood warnings and wind advisories.
How can that possibly happen overnight?
When I could have sworn there was a Drought yesterday.
Man! It never fails.
Every time I wash my car.
It also never fails that traffic starts when I leave the house,
even if it was 2 in the morning.
It never fails that when I switch to a faster lane,
that lane suddenly stops.
It never fails that there will be one asshole on the road,
cutting everybody off,
feeling like he had to be somewhere important.
If you go to a party,
It never fails that there will always be someone
who ruins everything for everyone.
There’s always something.
There’s always someone.
It never fails.
I think that’s also one of the reasons why the Senators lost the Stanley Cup.
If you want your team to win,
Let me root for their opponent.
Guaranteed.
It always happens.
It never fails.
After Ivan,
there’s Jeanne,
and possibly Karl?
I can’t handle anymore crisis.
My schedule is full.
But I have time for one joke,
“What did the hurricane say to the coconut tree?”
“Hold on to your nuts!”
Hahahhahhahahaaaaaaa!!!!
Weather Stress does things to your brain.
Stupid Weather.
Today starts my 2 weeks Vacation.
To be honest, I have no clue on what to do.
Since the Sept. 11 tragedy, I have not been in the best of moods.
I don’t think anybody was or still is.
So I did some thinking.
I thought about how it amazes me what people do to each other and themselves.
Why would anybody have the guts to cause harm to somebody else?
Why would someone choose to be a terrorist?
I mean c’mon! Honestly!
Do they wake up one morning, sip their coffee,
and say, “Yup! I have decided to be a terrorist.
I want to strap high explosives onto myself, scare the living daylights out of everybody,
kill them and me.”
Holy crap!!..I guess now that Hitler and Napoleon are dead,
there is a good demand for terrorists and killers huh?
Why not choose a different career?
Work in a restaurant.
Teach kids how to spell.
Work in a car wash.
Whatever….
Then I realized..
I know why these people do it.
To them, they are regarded as nobles or heroes in their religion and tradition
if they destroy anybody who does not do what they do, believe in what they believe,
and think the way they do.
Well let me tell you this.
I do not know what planet or place that belief came from,
but in my world,
These are the true heroes. Hero 1. Hero 2.
