Musical Pipe Dream: I’m in a Costco and sit at one of the pianos that are for sale. I take off my green jacket and lay it beside me on the piano bench. I count myself in and start playing and sing this song to the best of my ability. Some people stop to listen while most people go on with their shopping.

Blurb 1/365: Live each day like it’s a random day in your life.

Daily Doodle: Google Maps Street View

Song of the Day: Yakety Yak by The Coasters

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m wearing a fitted suit and playing the drums. My back is straight and I’m holding the drumsticks with a traditional grip.

Blurb 1/365: What if our bodies were like the universe? All of our cells are like us living in the universe. Theorizing on that analogy, the universe wouldn’t really be able to hear our prayers, but it would know that we weren’t feeling well if it had a headache or a bad stomach. Or it would know that we wanted more carbohydrates if it was craving a pizza. Some cells live happily and healthily, while others are attacked and are attempted to be protected by forces that drive the immune system in an on going and inevitable battle. If this were the case, I think that the universe cares about our well being and wants us all to be happy, but it can’t possibly think of all of us at the same time. Have I talked about this before? I can’t remember …

Daily Doodle: One Moon or Two, It’s Always Me and You

Song of the Day: Swinging On a Star by Bing Crosby

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m singing backup in front of a standing microphone. My hands are out in front of me at waist height, with palms facing down towards the floor. Wearing a coat with a fitted waist and a pencil skirt, I’m swaying back and forth leading with my shoulders. My feet are in perky pumps and I’m two stepping to match the sway of my shoulders.

Blurb 1/365: Can you see it?

Daily Doodle: Two of a Kind

Song of the Day: I Like It by DeBarge

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqaKisKIyUo

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m wearing a long sleeve, button down, matte silk shirt; it’s CMYK with black panel breast pockets. I’m playing the trumpet in the horn section. We’re kicking our knees forward while pointing our toes down towards the ground then we kick ball change to the opposite foot. We two step as we make our way to the microphone for the hook: Oooooo and I like it …

Blurb 1/365: Thank goodness for hamburgers, french fries, and soda … and pizza.

Daily Doodle: You’ve Been Puppified

Song of the Day: Things Have Changed by Bob Dylan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9EKqQWPjyo

Musical Pipe Dream: My hair is unkempt and I’m wearing a long cotton skirt with an ill-fitting puffy shirt. I’m on stage shaking a shaker and taking wide steps with the back of my left hand on my hip and my back arched far back. Everybody is trying to keep from making eye contact with me. I’m shaking that shaker like I’m playing an electric guitar solo. The police are called.

Blurb 1/365: Sometimes all you need is peanut butter and jelly on Eggos.

Daily Doodle: Cheer Up

Song of the Day: House of the Rising Sun as performed by The Animals

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m sitting on a rectangle piano bench that has a seat lined with textured vinyl; it looks like lace. I’m facing a church organ. As my hands move on the keys, I lean forward and back as if I’m possessed.

Blurb 1/365: I was thinking how it would turn out if there were investors out there that would invest big money in something that needed to be paid forward. Like an idea to build a product of quality and not have the bottom line only being monetary. So the mission would be:

1) Building something that is cool, which means that not everybody will like it and buy it.

2) Building something that works well, which means spending money on quality time for planning and proper execution, and on good materials.

3) Building something that continues to work well and providing customer service and monetary refunds when something doesn’t work well.

4) Creating a team of people that build these things that don’t get overworked, under paid, or under appreciated.

5) Creating a workplace where ego, greed, and jealousy only exists in the minority or not at all.

6) Promoting and believing that the most important thing is not what comes back to the company, but what gets distributed out to the consumer.

I think those investors wouldn’t make money for 10 years, and then after that, they would make more money than they could imagine. More money than investors can imagine. The company would make money for generations afterward.

People pay for good quality, good service, and good intentions.

Song of the Day: The Freaks Come Out at Night by Whodini

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLYC7ltxOrk

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m in a room that is comfortably filled with people. Nobody feels embarrassed to dance. The place is bumpin’.

Blurb 1/365: Personally, I’ve found that the easiest thing to commit to in life is simply not being an asshole.
