Joe, you have a brain cloud.

I've been busy, so it's been a while since I've blogged. Good thing I have a computer in boring editing classes or I'd never get anything done. Anyway, I wanted to start off this post with a picture of our hero, Joe. Former firefighter and advertising slave on his way to jump into a Volcano. Why, you ask? Because he has a brain cloud and will die in 6 months whether he does or not. Taking the offer from a crazed Lloyd Bridges, Joe takes the stylish route and sets off on a spectacular journey towards his imminent death. Watch the movie to find out the rest.



The movie does bring up one of life's classic questions. What would you do if you had 6 months to live? I feel like there's a typical answer to this question; let every inhibition go and live to the fullest. But really dig down deep and you wonder, what would I really do?

Buy an Xbox and live off pepperoni pizza and red bull of course. Duh.

On a lighter note, the soundtrack features some good music:

Sixteen Tons, written by Merle Travis. Here's the version by Tennessee Ernie Ford - http://sonnyvenice.phpnet.org/musique/sonny_venice/04_2009/Sixteen%20Tons.mp3

Blue Moon, the classic version by Elvis Presley - http://checkthedryer.com/bluemoon/Elvis%20Presley%20-%20Blue%20Moon.mp3

And here's some classic Billy Joel to send you off. Listen for the melody from "Allentown" at the end.

A Good Day to Believe in Life

Today has been a pretty good day, and may get even better. I got two freezy pops for free, listened to Clapton, got free Black Crowes tickets, and am having a pretty decent hair day. I also may be surfing in the Carolinas this weekend. I am especially excited about the Black Crowes, which I hear is a pretty damn good show.

I am also toying with some ideas of what to do with this blog. Since 99% of blogs are about music, I'm not exactly breaking new ground writing about groovy tunes and new bands. It would also be nice to have some people that actually looked at this thing, so if you are reading this right now you should bookmark or something. At least write it on your hand.

Anyway, my one idea I have right now is to every week write about an alternative to the usual weekend rituals like partying, drinking, and throwing up. Again, I'm not sure what that would consist of, but I'm working on it. This would probably involve accomplishing unique and adventurous goals every weekend, daring yourself to try new things and expand your mind. Thoughts?

I WILL keep talking about music, because I love it more than life (Clapton reference). Bam. Check out Eric's song "Believe in Life" and while you're at listen to "Layla" all the way through. It's truly an experience.



New Music: Check out Kisses and their song "Bermuda"
Also Eli "Paperboy" Reed with "Come and Get It".

Please Believe in Life.
Over and Out,
Eric
