We got confirmation yesterday that Amazon.com has the MP3 downloads for the Hormone Junkies EP "PROOF of CONCEPT" ready. Folks, it's less than $3 for three amazing songs. How can it NOT be worth it?

Hormone Junkies
Hormone Junkies is a new band with great potential. Visit their website at www.hormonejunkies.com and join their Facebook group page at http://tinyurl.com/6gttsf
What kind of music? Kind of Acid Jazz over dance rhythms with a post-prog rock flavor...with some Stockhausen and Cage thrown in.

The Case Against Racism in 2008
Never thought a speech from a leader of the AFL/CIO would ever bring tears of pride to my eyes - here it is:

It's Sarah Palin Again
I've got a bite on my arm
From teeth with razors of sin
Gushing blood all around
It's Sarah Palin again
I feel the cold in the room
Can't you feel the heat flee?
The caring mother's have died
And sent their sons out to sea
It's Sarah Palin again
It's Sarah Palin again
Now I'm finally feeling warm
I see the flames from a pyre
Oh my God! What has she done?
She's throwing books on the fire!
It's Sarah Palin again
It's Sarah Palin again
She's just simple and small
Just a bug in my eye
I'm still bleeding from her bite
I guess I'll never know why
I won't demean the pigs and fishes
By using them to compare
I still fear for our lives
She makes me not want to care
Somebody's got to care....
Not Sarah Palin again
Not Sarah Palin again

The Great Divide
I know these things to be true:
I am a coward. I am a whore. I am an excuse waiting for a broken promise. I am an atheist who prays to God out of fear.
I am a professional seeker of convenient truth. I am a reader of self help books. I am a denier of self help techniques. I am a theist who won't accept God's choices. I am the tongueless singer, I am the ear-less listener, I am the eyeless observer.
I am an embarrassed Oprah-holic.
About as well intentioned as a jerk like me can be, I try...I actually try to be the kind of man that I espouse as superior. "...he turns his attention to himself and molds his character."
I have been reading Eckhart Tolle's books the Power of Now and A New Earth. It's all an exercise in reflexive perception and awareness. "Be aware of yourself being aware." I do that and I feel inadequate. "Thought causes pain and suffering" I think, therefore I hurt.
But, he's right.
The line, which is an abstraction created by the human mind, is drawn in the air that surrounds my being and thereby manifests the space on either side of the line. And in those spaces we can place the good and the bad, the effective and the ineffective, that which works and that which doesn't.
Which side am I on?

Gotta Find Something Better (repost from Tribe.net)
Hello folks.
It's Tuesday morning and this is the second day in a row that I've called in sick to work. I'm actually not feeling well, but it's not medical - it's emotional. I hate my job. I really hate it. And what's more is that I find that I like hating it. The negativity fuels that hatred and it just continues to grow and grow. The cycle must come to an end.
I had decided that I would make it to the end of May at the current job and then quit. That would mean that I had fulfilled one of my New Year resolutions - to not be working at my current job by the time I turn 50. I reach that milestone in early June. But I don't think I can make it, folks. I have to find something different and I need to find it fast.
The major issues I have are 1) Health Care - I live in Missouri and the options for someone with a chronic disease without insurance are few and not particularly encouraging. 2) I owe lots of money, mostly due to the fact that my current insurance doesn't cover all my medications, so I've put them on credit cards and I don't currently make enough money to pay them off. Out of pocket I spent over $2500 last year on medication. And then there are the hospital and physician costs that insurance doesn't cover. 3) General expenses - I have over $1250 a month in just general expenses. That' not counting food and clothing. Just rent, car payment, insurance and general bills.
Soooo...I need to find a way to make money, be happy and move forward with my life. Any suggestions?
Think good thoughts.....
