My advice, turn off the media. Aka whatever cable/sattelite system you use, and just get what you want to watch from the net. Commercial free. Save $500 next year at least.

Seriously I havent watched the news in 7-8 years, actually never and hence I dont get my head filled with the problems of the world. If it's important I hear about it.

I turned off Sattelite about 8 months back. Best move I ever made. I no longer watch ANY commercials. I call the shots, not the media. Who needs the other guy's problems in my head. I have all I can do with my own affairs.

It is kinda "over Johnny" as far as music. But not completely. Lots of younger guys still like the classic stuff. Stained, Kings of Leon are examples of modern bands that are still along the lines of the older stuff.

Billy Joel was just on the HS show. 11-16 He mentioned in 300-400 years from now they'll still be listening to the Beatles. (as well as a few Billy Joel songs) He was right. It was an explosion of talent that will prob never happen (for a while anyhow) again.

So look at music as not something that has ended but, something that we were lucky enuf to be around when it was happening.

Man can that guy play. Ya know when I was watching it on HTV (youtube - ;) ) he looked older (of course) and all I could see was the age. He sounded off. But when I listened to it again on an mp3, he was right on the button pretty much. And at 9 am.

So we all have a bias towards age. We hear what we see. Anyhow all those songs and complicated lyrics he has. And he remebered them all very well. And the way he tickles the ivory. Just beautiful.

Imagine NYC is a madhouse around Xmas. :)

Today a helpless kitten was saved after it became stuck in a tree. Firefighters spent over three hours trying to rescue the kitten and were ready to give up and let nature take its course; however, the sight of poor five year old suzy in tears moved the brave and heroic fire crew, inspiring one final attempt to rescue the fluffy little creature.

Unfortunately, just after being handed the mewing kitten, poor Suzy walked behind the firetruck as it was backing up. She was was killed instantly along with the kitten. Services will be held this afternoon at GFY.com...
