The Cup Runneth Over As The Well Runs Dry

Water.

Maybe 2005 was all about water.

I began the year doing a benefit for Tsunami victims while torrential downpours caused mudslides in Laurel Canyon. I ended the year doing a benefit for Katrina victims while preparing to brave the snow, sleet, and slush of an East Coast winter.

In 2005, I became an uncle. I also became a voting member of NARAS. One of these things will be good for my soul, while the other will continue to destroy it. Can you guess which is which?

Speaking of souls, in 2005 I decided that souls do exist and I really, REALLY hope that the soul contains an asshole. My reasoning is that I bet in Hell Satan has a special racetrack made of hot coals that he chases tailgaters around, all the while shoving a flaming barbed poker up the soul-asshole of the worthless piece of tailgating shit. The whole time, he’s saying, “So what’s your hurry? (uses flaming barbed poker) Huh? Going somewhere important? (POKE!)”

I also decided that Love wasn’t dead. Still retarded, but not dead.

Having just finished up a rewarding-draining-exhilarating-exhausting-geartastic-songriffic-all-around-motherfucking-LONG stretch of work, I’m ready to clear my head, relax a bit, update the blog a little more regularly, and play solitaire.

OH. In 2005, at the age of 30, I finally learned how to play solitaire. My dad tried to teach me back in the day, but I was too busy drumming and learning to smoke. Hopefully I’ve redeemed myself. Thanks for talking me through it, Deebo!

I know somehow I should now tie up the themes of how life ebbs and flows and the water metaphors, but I’m going to just post whatever’s here and open up solitaire.

I hope your 2005 has been as good and weird as mine, which was pretty effin good and weird.

My 2005 HAS been as good and weird as yours has been, spank you very much. But also?

Mine's been SUGAR-FREE!

Pardon me, but I have another 11 games in a row of solitaire to lose.

Congratulations on your good, weird year. Hopefully 2006 will be gooder and weirder!
