moving on up

if the astros move to the AL west as part of the new realignment talk, it will be 20 years before they win the division. i'm certain of it. this team cannot survive in the american league. plus, not playing the cubs/cardinals/reds? and instead playing the mariners/angels/athletics? that's terrible. just terrible. i do not like it and i will not stand for it.

moonbeam song

so when i used to work at fox sports on the overnight shift, i couldn't turn my sleeping schedule around, so i often stayed up all night on my days off. and when your days off are tuesdays and wednesdays, you spent a lot of time alone at night. and i remember i used to sit outside on my patio at my apartment at greenway gardens listening to this song on vinyl because i didn't own the cd at four in the morning. it was often nice deep in the night. and i felt like i was the only person awake in the world. i mean there cars moving all around me. but it was dark. and this song made the night move slower. i also love that harry uses the word 'crap' in such a beautiful song. that always made me laugh. i would just sit there. sometimes i'd write. sometimes i'd dance around the apartment. but it was always pleasant.

harry n. or h. nilsson

june 15th was harry nilsson's birthday. besides brian wilson, jeff tweedy and thom yorke, i think harry nilsson has shaped a huge part of my love for music.

so happy belated birthday harry.
