Friday : the Link : 1 beer buzz

Every Friday at 3pm, the owner of our company kindly provides grainy liquid refreshment for us to help take the edge off of the past week.  This week i enjoyed a Shiner Bock, which is one of my favorites.

3:30 – i had to go to the Teet (Harris Teeter to the laymen) and get some groceries to make some spaghetti.  Shopping for various cans of tomatoes and sauces and beefs with a 1 beer buzz sure does make the experience that much better.

Happy friday.  Here’s a poem for you:

the wind
foe of the badger
blows gently
on the quiet wasteland
of forever

a small bird
maybe a lark
or a swallow
eats a twig
and then flitters
flutters
shakes the back
of his or her feathered
back area

i am alone
on a ski slope
eating a snocone
eating a very cold
snocone

Green

First of all, i’m wearing green shoes today.

yesterday i had a green shirt on that says MAINE on it.

Today is Earth Day.

Sunday was the Earth Day celebration in Washington DC and Leslie and i were at the mall, being educated, watching bands, getting rained on, and getting free swag from enthusiastic Green groups.

i read something today that i agree with, which is something that i always like.

Here is a link you can click.

Here is a snippit from it if you’re not in the mood to click:

It’s up to each of us to reduce consumption and waste, and to choose to live and work more responsibly. Technological solutions are a big part of the movement toward a cleaner existence. But individual choices must lead the way.

we have been striving to make better choices in our lives over the last few years. i hope you will think about what you do, what you put in your body, and how your actions affect those around you and those globally. also, be nice to people.

films of 2007

These are the movies that i’ve seen (up to this date) that were released in the year 2007. I’ve categorized them this year in tiers, but overall, this list is in order starting from favorite to least. The top 2 tiers are a little more difficult to discern between, but we’ll go with this for now. Disagree or agree, but this is the list.

(Please note that there are still a few movies that came out in 2007 that i haven’t seen yet that i think would rank high)

On a rainy day in April.

a. Locally owned restaurants in Nashville – found this website looking for, well, locally owned restaurants.  Pretty great stuff.  A few of my favorite restaurants are part of this.

b. 30 Days of Night – same director as Hard Candy.   Visually stunning.  Pretty decent vampire movie.  I would recommend it.

c. You and i live in very different worlds.

d. I purchased the 1st season of the Animaniacs a while ago.  I haven’t watched much of it because it’s not wide screen.  I love Animaniacs.

e. Right now i’m listening to a song called Rhino Stomp by Starlight Mints.

f. I love to eat Starlight Mints.  There is a drawer full them next to me.

g. Eat healthy.
