Greenie! Greenie?

If I were to start making music I’d try to emulate Dion & The Belmonts. Catchy lyrics, fun melodies, brilliant harmonies, and great stage presence: This dude killed it! 

Or is this really not that cool? I just think it’s cool because 1950s Rock n Roll were the only tapes my parents had in their car when I was a kid groing up.

Whatever I think this is #CoolAsFuck. 

Most people find the idea of working to make a difference or working with your passion to be daunting or impossible, but, in reality it’s just a choice: You make the decision about what you’re going to work in and you make the choice about how you’re going to contribute or give back. 

Be scared. Then jump off because it makes way more sense than what you’re currently doing.

I really like Doodles and Daft Punk

I was writing this whole piece about Style Vs Progression but then I thought “fuck that” this video show’s a dude hucking a quad backflip over 170ft! That’s huge, and crazier still he did it 37 years ago on straight, timber skis that were over 180cm in length!

When someone refers to my hometown as “San Fran,” I really bristle. People who live in other parts of the world may think “San Francisco” has too many syllables, but locals don’t ever call it “San Fran.” Ever. And only in an effort to be intentionally gauche or ironic would a resident call it “Frisco.” That’s just wrong, and it immediately identifies anyone who says it as clueless. This judgment goes way, way back. A century and a half ago, by the emperor’s decree, calling the city “Frisco” was a high misdemeanor punishable by a $25 fine.

A very cool girl from the Bay Area sent me this article, and while it brings up my follie for always calling San Francisco “San Fran” it also alludes to my future posting - Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico.

Peep the rest of the article here and read on to the last paragraph to understand why I’m apt to take on this prestigious role.

I like it when people shake things up.

Obama slow jamming the news with The Roots on Jimmy Fallon is fucking brilliant. I wish Australia had a leader with charisma and a touch of humanity.
