Ryan Adams

*
I listened to Ryan Adams' "The End" 37 times in the past 24 hours, of which 29 times were while I laid on my couch staring at the ceiling thinking NASCAR. I love the song: love it!!! The twangs, the slides. I also downloaded Heartbreaker. I really do immensely admire Ryan Adams' Jacksonville City Nights...most especially "The End." And I do have a sweet spot for NASCAR matchbox cars. I've bought 13 for my youngest son Brayden and I'll tell you which ones if you ask nicely.

There's an open mic night this weekend at The Writer's Place celebrating the 40th anniversary of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. I'm not going...definitely not going. But I will be drinking whisky, triple Belgian ale, Russian lager, and watching Lost. All at the same time: I like whisky with a beer chaser. I also like fake centipedes but who's keeping track. 12 days since I last (blank)...I won't say 12 days since what...I'll leave that up to your imagination.

Rejections to date: 740. Keep it up! Way to go! (whistles, hoots, hollers, more whistling, a couple winks...can't you tell I'm walking the red carpet in front of my adoring fans).
