I was listening to the radio last week and noticed that a song by Blind Melon was followed by a Smashing Pumpkins tune. Initially I wondered if the DJ was Larry the Cucumber. Then, after doing a quick mental inventory, I realized that there were a lot of 90s bands that seemed to be inspired by vegetation. For example:
Gin Blossoms
Cranberries
Savage Garden
Fiona Apple
Guns N Roses
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Soundgarden
The Black Eyed Peas
OK, who can add to the list? And no, Peaches and Herb is not a 90s band.
Yes, every writer thinks his manuscript is good enough to be published. Just like every guy on death row claims that he's innocent. I'm hoping this new writing outlet will help me hone my writing skills and expose people to my proposed book. Or maybe it will just be a nice distraction from my real job as a golden-throated hobo.

Stuff My Son Says - #2
It's wicked cold here in South Dakota (8 below zero as I write this - that's minus 22 Celsius for any Canadians in the crowd). So last night while tucking Cameron in, I prayed that God would protect people that are outside in the cold. Cameron felt compelled to be a little more specific.
Me: God, please protect anyone who is outside right now.
Cam: Yeah, like hobos warming their hands over a fire in a garbage can...
