Joe Strummer... you've been through the cleansing fire of punk, only to pick up a few venerial diseases along the way. You're more of an optimist when it comes to fucked-up genius. But you can write wicked-deadly riffs and lycs. Take this quiz!

Television
Who honestly has time for TV? I used to watch West Wing because I'm such a politics geek that when I'm not watching the real thing I have to seek out the fake thing. Pathetic. I watch a lot of news and sports. Probably why my bloodpressure is so shitty.
thanks daddy!!!!! i race tomorrow at 9:32 and if we win then we have another race called finals at 1:46 so i'll try to call you in between races. I LOVE YOU!
I'm coming to you for some music advice since you seem to be an oracle on the matter. I have been falling very much in love with soul, such as Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for me cause I cannot get enough. Seriously, no other kind of music makes me so happy, and I'm not even touching on the emotion that their voices bring. I'm sure you can feel me on this but I would love any other artist suggestions!
P.S. The lil one looks just like you, I took a peek at your wifes profile and she is a gorgeous woman but that baby looks like you all the way, maybe it's the cheeks and nose?
Hey you, how are you doing? I was just dropping by to tell you that you should check out some of my poetry in my blog, you might like it (I'm def. doing a shameless self promotion at the moment!) I hope all is well! Take care
Hope the little one and the new mom are both doing super well.
things are really, really good here and really blah, sometimes alternating between one and the other in the same hour. I had built such a arty life for myself in mass that I miss it now, although it's great teaching in an MFA Program.
New book coming out this summer...9 stories...all about stupid and weird men.
Just had knee surgery from a basketball injury. I think I might have to hang up my #W(% sneakers and I'm pretty broken up about it.
Dylan and Melina are fantastic, or at least that's what they tell me.
Hey Dr. Huddle, hope the semester is going well for you. I have to admit that I am thoroughly bored without school, which I am thinking is a good indication that I should return soon. I am serving at Spragues (turns out I can make more money there than I can anywhere else around here)You and the fam should come grab a bite if your hankering for some pancakes. I'm still planning to move though and saving the funds. Hope all is well!
Just wanted to stop in and see how the summer is treating you. I am sure it has been chalk full of poopy diapers so far...I on the other hand have begun the strenuous task of trying to find some sort of meaningful employment(and by meaningful I mean health insurance) Let me know if you hear of anything that fits the criteria! Take care
Just want to know how much I appreciate your adding my little story to your site. If you have time time you should totally write something. For now, congratulations to you and Beth on little Violet!
Ok well, I might as well stop trying cause I think that you are a walking musical encyclopedia...anywho, at this point I am going to Bonnaroo and by that I mean that I have paid half of the ticket price to a friend, *half* being the key word there. I will check out those sets, I don't believe I have heard them before. Thanks!
