MusingsI was out sick on Wednesday, the past couple of weeks I have had a really hard time getting up in the morning. Not just tired but exhausted like I was coming off a week long cocaine binge or had way to many shots the night before. I was almost ready to go to the doctor (a big step for me) but I believe I have found the cause. A while back I inadvertently killed three of my bromeliads. Every so often I will leave them out side during the day, this particular time I left them out for two or three days and ended up killing them. I threw two of them out almost immediately but not the third for some reason. Since I was off yesterday (plus Urban Gardener has 25% off plants in August on Wednesdays) and felt better around lunch time I decided to buy some new plants. I picked up three new bromeliads (notice a trend) and took them home. I decided to throw out the remaining dead plant and I noticed a bunch of mold growing on it. So I threw it out and ran my HEPA filter all day which I haven’t done in a while. The next morning I felt much better (even though I had a few beers the previous night) so I believe this was the cause of my exhaustion. Of course it could all be in my head but I’ve felt fine ever since and I’m sure it wasn’t good for me regardless. I also picked up some CDs that day, the new Steel Pulse “African Holocaust”, “Zen Arcade” by Hüsker Dü and “Together We’re Heavy” by The Polyphonic Spree. I listened to Steel Pulse first and all I can say is wow mon! This CD rocks! Definitely a good buy if you’re into reggae. Zen Arcade is also a great CD considered a punk classic, I am just now getting into music that was good when I was a kid. At the time I was mostly listening to crap ala Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, etc. I picked up “Together We’re Heavy” because The Polyphonic Spree has been getting a lot of buzz lately and I’ve liked what I’ve heard of them. I missed a free show at Criminal Records a while back but I am going to see them at the Voodoo Music Festival in October. I like the CD, good mellow happy music, it won’t go down as one of my all time favorites but I’m glad I bought it. As I was coming back from my errands I saw some woman toss an empty soda can out of her car at a red light. Man, I wanted to yank her out of her car and smash her face into the concrete (is that extreme), What is wrong with people, I wonder what was going through her head when she did that.
Later on that evening I went to Wednesday WindDown at Centennial Olympic Park to see Delta Moon and King Johnson. When I got there however the EWP Family Band was playing. They weren’t on the WindDown website so maybe there was a cancellation. They were ok, sort of a R&B, jazz, gospel mixture. They played the Dukes of Hazard themesong which was pretty funny. After the show I say The Village with some friends. It was ok but pretty boring. I wish I saw something else instead. Bryce Dallas Howard is HOT though! She can act too, I bet she’ll go far. Well that’s all for Wednesday, till next time.
