Fashion is... Teejus F'ing Christ, What are these Abominations?

 And why must I own them...

Before clicking this link, come up with what you think these cost? Then be prepared to have your mind blown by what they actually cost. What are we doing here people?

Lego My Ego

Today is the day. Now is the time to take that inner creative streak and create something that wasn't there before.

A blog post.
An essay.
A painting, like our fratre Doug Malone does.
A misanthrope haiku, like our fratre Doug Malone did and does.

Or a song, like a few of us attempt.  You should try it. And if you do, here's a starter kit for you... 

Jeff Tweedy, singer in one of my favorite bands, Wilco, has written another book.  Several years ago he penned a book called Let's Go (So We Can Get Back): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc. Rootsy bought it and lent it to me a couple of Fishing Trips ago. I have read 80% or so, I just remembered. (Rootsy, I'll finish it up and return it -- thank you, sir, and sorry for the delay!)

That one was an interesting chronicle of his story, his struggles, his successes, and a bit of his thoughts. This one is different.

It's called How to Write One Song: Loving the Things We Create and How They Love Us Back. According to reviewers, it's a demystification of songwriting and an encouraging push for creativity. I'm all for that, and it's on my to-get list.

If we all had more time and inclination, we could start a songwriting contest here at Gheorghe: The Blog. And that Dave or I would have to record every submission in some format.  Gheorghe: The Album would come from it. Perhaps Rob's ode from Cape Cod could be the lead single.

Anyway, short of that, check out someone else's creativity.

Who doesn't love Lego? Other than people who step on a brick with bare feet.
