Daily Doodle: Me circa 1996

Song of the Day: Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check by Busta Rhymes

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m wearing puffy clothes on an almost empty BART train. I’ve got my headphones on and I’m staring into the distance. A kid is using the windows in the car doors as mirrors to practice his tutting skills. The car sways to and fro. Instead of a Musical Pipe Dream I could call this a Musical Memory because it happened. It’s the little things that shine in my memory.

Blurb 1/365: I just realized that I am, and always have been, a hard ass bitch.

Daily Doodle: I See Gnomes in the Trees

Song of the Day: Back in the Day (Remix) by Ahmad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLV5F_PklKg

Musical Pipe Dream: It’s a summer party. There’s watermelon and the kids are playing on a slip ‘n slide. The temperature is perfect under the shade of a large, non-allergy inducing tree. I’m lounging on a camping chair and someone passes me the Chex Mix before I even ask.

Blurb 1/365: The sun was shining in my eyes today and it was uncomfortable. First, I shaded my eyes with my hand, but this didn’t stop the heat from boiling my head. Then, I bent a bit forward and the sun ray rolled over my head. My forehead and hair felt cooler instantly and I was out of harm’s way. I realized that I can apply this principle to life in general. If something is bothering me, I shouldn’t just make slight adjustments that make me slightly less uncomfortable; I should move and take a step in the right direction.

Daily Doodle: When I get anxious, I wish I had a sleeping bag that I could crawl in and zip up and then be magically transported to my bed.

Song of the Day: Slam by Onyx

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ADgCeYJMN4

Musical Pipe Dream: All you can see is my head and my fingers peeking out of an enormously oversized sweatshirt. My pants are big enough for me to fit in one pant leg and the cuffs are stuffed into big boots. My limbs are flailing.

Blurb 1/365: Dude. SLAM. 1993. Whenever there was three of anything, my sisters and I would associate one of them to each of us.

For example:

With The Chipmunks, I was Theodore.

With Duck Tales, I was Louie.

With the Brady Bunch sisters, I was Cindy.

With the Three Amigos, I was Ned.

With Onyx, I associated myself with Sonsee solely because of the fact that I constantly wore a grey sweatshirt that my sister got from a school lost-and-found and a pair of blue jeans. So it looked like one of his outfits in the music video. This song brings back memories …

Daily Doodle: Life Can Be a Carnival

Song of the Day: Two of a Kind by Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer

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

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m in an almost vacant restaurant and wearing a penguin tuxedo. A hard spotlight is on me and my eyes are shaded by a black top hat. I tap dance the night away just as if it was a packed house.

Blurb 1/365: Now that I know who I am, it will be easier to be who I want to be.

Daily Doodle: Angel Beaver (a doodle drawn at a cool art party!)

Song of the Day: Close to You as sung by The Carpenters

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6inwzOooXRU

Musical Pipe Dream: In the style of Rick Moranis’s character in the movie “Parenthood” I bust into a crowded room where James is seated and I sing a capella. “Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh … close to you.”

Blurb 1/365: Keep moving.

Daily Doodle: I swear a lot.

Song of the Day: Fire by The Ohio Players

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y47G-Wa4qfs

Musical Pipe Dream: I absolutely love how every single one of the members of The Ohio Players played multiple instruments and were able to sing and dance while they played them. The YouTube video of their Midnight Special music video is one of the best performances ever; I envy their talent. Some members have already passed on, but they leave a legacy and a blazing trail of pivotal music. In my musical pipe dream, I sing this song flawlessly. I have this song on Rock Band, so, apologies in advance.

Blurb 1/365: Woo woo woo woo woo-oo!
