The 100th Greatest Song of ALL TIME Was Released on "the B side"!

You Can't Always Get What You Want ... 
But if you try sometime ... 
you might find, you get what you need ... 


No truer words have ever been spoken... 
well, maybe they have - but for the sake o' the blog, they haven't...

Happy Valentine's Day and Whatnot friends.  
I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day. 


I've been in a state of total inertia as far as getting the Mushtastic Month of February going on the Ocho-rific.  I'm
mentally and emotionally worn out to be perfectly honest with you ... all 200 or so of you :)  You've felt that way though.. every single one of you understand..so why not tell the truth :)

02/11/2011 - "Typhoons of Change"

It's no longer the "Winds of Change" for me, my friends ... lately it seems to be more like the "Typhoons of Change".   I've had more on my mind for the last few months than I've wanted ... which has caused me to cocoon for a few days ... and may
cause me to cocoon for a few more.

I've got quite a time warp for you kids this morning...

Good morning Cats and

Kittens!! 

Please don't mistake today for a Hippy-rific Humpday, it is - in fact Friday. Congrats on that to those of you who work 'banker's hours'!! 

As I perused for today's topic, I learned the following - 

01/06/2011 - On this day in 1975 - About a thousand Led Zeppelin fans riot while waiting for tickets to go on sale at Boston Garden. About $30,000 was done in damage and the show was cancelled by Boston Mayor Kevin White.

Happy Thursday gang!  I'm posting this in 'real time' before I take off for the day and running a little behind this morning to boot.  Anywho, I do want to "preface" this blog =)
