1st bath
For a kid who freaks every time he wets his diaper, he sure does enjoy his bath. Go figure.

Catching some rays with daddy.
Oops! Made the mistake of watching TV in real time again.
Well, I'm not sure if they just had an off episode or if the show is always this lame but I was bored out of my mind. Half exhausted, half in awe of my 10 day old son in my arms, I was in the mood for a good laugh. I didn't get a single one. But since I was comfortable and Kristen and I were kinda talking through the show anyway we left the TV on for the next show, 'Better With You' at least I think that's what it was called.
Another dud.
Reaching the point of irritation with how lame the 2nd sitcom was, I made my exit and head to Target to grab a few groceries. When I returned, Kristen had made her way to TLC and 'Sister Wives'. Intriguing from what I can tell, but I don't know if I'll make it through an entire episode.
After putting the groceries away and finally settling in on the couch comes Kat and 'LA Ink'. The faux reality of this show just kills me.
I'm about 5 minutes into it and I'm ready to just throw a hammer at the TV.
As you may of noticed by now I don't really enjoy much TV. I mostly use my TV for the Roku and primarily to listen to MOG or Pandora and watch the occasional movie of Netflix or Amazon.
I watch so little TV that it's hard for me to believe that 1) people watch this crap and 2.) these shows were green lighted.
Many people signed off on creating multiple episodes of turd and millions tune in.
Blows my mind.
Mental Note: stop watching TV in real time it's slowly sucking out your soul.
Yikes!

Wait for it...
This woman is a welcomed sight after a long day. I often see her doing her funky dance while walking her dog in the early evenings on my way home from the office. She always makes me laugh and leaves me a with a big o'l goofy smile. Perfect way to end a work day.
Enjoy!

42 Things You Didn’t Know About Thom Yorke (And 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Kid A)
Everyone knows that Thom Yorke is passionate about climate change, that he purchased the entire Warp Records catalog after OK Computer, that he was born with his left eye fixed shut. But did you know that he can’t read musical notation? Did you know that he said he’d “start skanking dancehall style” if Radiohead were to split up? Did you know that today marks his 42nd birthday? If not, this list of 42 things you didn’t know about today’s birthday boy might very well shift your paradigm.
Not sure where all the facts come from, but they're interesting none the less.

It Gets Better
So with the recent suicides of young LGBT kids, I think it's fitting to post this. Not just for young gay kids but for all kids. Middle School Sucks. Period. High School for many sucks just as much if not even more. The one thing I can say, Is yes, it gets better.
When ever you have just the worst day ever, watch this video and remember, It will get better and you should stick around to see how much better it can get.

TEDxNextGenerationAsheville - Birke Baehr - "What's Wrong With Our Food System"
This kid is on to something. :)
The Skofflaws - William Shatner
So I was going to write about Dax Riggs this week, but <a href="http://www.bemorewithless.com/2010/10-ways-to-simplify-your-music/">after reading this article</a> I was inspired to 1st clean up my iTunes library a little bit, you know just for about an hour or so. Well 3 hours later I had reached Art of Noise and I was exhausted; fatigued from rating, renaming, categorizing & deleting files. Dax was gonna have to wait.

Robert Plant's Band of Joy and their Monkey (cover).
Nestled in the mix of Banjo laden covers and bland country ballads is this gem, a brooding cover of Low's "Monkey". It's just brilliant. The take would of fit perfectly on the Cure's Pornography or Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. It's dark, menacing, spooky and oozes that tribal gypsy vibe that Robert Plant does so well.
