2009/2000 and Mine

So another year. Lots of things to promise myself/creating new ways to let myself down.

Who wants to run or work out more? I do. Am I gonna do it? I will for three weeks. And just as soon as I start a habit I’ll be back on the couch eating Sprinkles’ cupcakes and watching Flight of the Concords.

I do want to write more. Not just songs but short stories or even things that happen in my life. Thanks to word press I guess I’ll be doing a better job at that. I wish that there was a way to just think and that would blog. I think that would make all blogs more interesting. I know half of what I think is so weird and down right ridicules that people would totally attach themselves to it and make me their god and worship me…. ok that is a stretch but is a good example of the strange things that may or may not pass through the old thought machine. 

 

I think also I want to love better. Not necessarily more, but better. Appropriately. Accurately. Swiftly. With a un-bias love. Love that runs with no regrets. Thats what I want to do. I hope I do this one well. 

 

These are a few of the things that I would like to start doing this year. I mean this isn’t everything. I mean it would be nice to make a million dollars… but come on. I don’t think that one will happen. But if it does I will let you know. 

 

Time WILL tell… every time.

Bloggin’ Out of My Mind

 

Nov. 24

Well, here goes nothing. I have had friends tell me about this “blog” thing, and I’ve even blogged on myspace. And now I’m going to start blogging just to blog. Is this how all first blogs start? Maybe. Who knows… but this is how mine will start. This is about my days, my memories, and my experiences that I get to have with amazing people in amazing places. I’ll be the Time Teller. I have a watch called the “Time Teller,” and as I wear it I’m reminded that time tells us our stories. And that we all should look around and take note. More to come.

Christmas Sweaters vs. Cosby Sweaters

Ok…tis the season right? That is what I figured. So I’m at the mall today and just in on a quick errand for my friend Andy. We passed by all sorts of consumers in need of retail therapy. These consumers were all finding their quick fix to sooth their wicked itch of watching their plastic card deplete their checking accounts. Anyway, I’ll stop painting a mosaic picture for something super simple…. SWEATERS!! We were walking around and we saw Santa’s “winter land” area. You know the place where the kiddos come and sit on Santa’s lap and take a picture. So the mall here in Nashville is all “Christmased out” and lights and bows and what-have-you. Its everywhere, every corner of the mall has accents of the Christmas season. And not just the mall was in Christmas attire. Every Mr. and Mrs. John J. Shopper were also in their holiday hats and tinselly trappings. Except this one man, who had on a sweater of unusual style. But this wasn’t your everyday middle-aged kooky Christmas sweater. He was lost in a raging river of incorrect seasonal fashion sense. He was a victim of a Cosby sweater. Do you remember that jolly Jell-O serving comedian Bill Cosby? I do. I loved his work and his television show. I even had a crush on Rudy for a long time… but that is whole different blog in itself. But Billy Cosby was known for his sweaters. So in the midst of this holiday season I wanted to take time to differentiate between a Christmas Sweater and a Cosby Sweater. I feel like this is a pretty important topic of discussion, especially for this time of year. I mean, you can’t wear Christmas sweaters all year long; hell you can’t wear them after New Years, so why wear a Cosby sweater during Christmas time? I have no idea, so I will do my best to disclose a few tips on identifying whether you have a Cosby or Christmas sweater. Here is the picture of the man at the mall and Bill Cosby himself.

The Man and the Myth

Santa is proud of this one

 

So take note of the colors and knitting on the Cosby sweater. And most importantly, the lack of Christmas ensigncies 

So, hopefully now you can see the difference in the two. So don’t make the mistake of wearing a Cosby sweater to a tacky Christmas sweater party. And if you just really like sweaters… be cautious of what you are using to bundle up. If you’re gonna wear a sweater this time of year, kill two birds with on stone, and get the Christmas sweater out and spread some holiday cheer while you’re keeping warm and fuzzy. 

Time will keep on telling. Happy Holidays!!
