Musical Pipe Dream: I’m standing next to the bongo player in a packed band. I have a tambourine that I’m swinging from waist height up to my eye height as I keep time. I clap the tambourine when I reach the top and the bottom.

Blurb 1/365: Sometimes when I’m waiting to cross the street, I look up towards the sky and let the sun find my face.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m attending a karaoke contest and there are a group of women singing this song. They all have name tags on and a woman named Susan starts rapping Spinderella’s part. She’s all smiles but comes to a halt upon the line, “and he knows that my name is not Susan”.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’ve created an animation of ghost shadows dancing together. It starts off with one shadow swaying back and forth. The number multiplies until there are several lined up in rows. The hero’s mana is full and he spins through the crowd and conquers them one by one.

Blurb 1/365: After seeing two very successful side by side video remakes (Simon and Simon, that Kayne West video) it really encourages me to go through with my plan to do a remake of the The Deele’s Two Occasions video. There’s a perfect shooting location at a place near my parent’s house. This would require several wigs and shoulder pads. Plus, I would need direction and editing skills. If anybody wants to collaborate with me on this, let me know!

Song of the Day: Batman Theme by Neil Hefti

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m playing the drums, hard. I’m screaming, “BATMAN!” into the microphone.

Blurb 1/365: Real childhood memory: My sisters and I would go over to my cousins’ house almost every weekend. There are three major memories I have about their old house.

1) My cousin sliced his finger open while swinging a large, framed painting back and forth on the wall and was taken to the emergency room.

2) They had a toy that was a plastic unicorn. It had a mask that fit over its face and horn and I always wanted to play with it. My favorite part was the way the mask clicked on and off.

3) My cousin and I would play Batman and Robin on the stairs and I always wanted to be Robin.

I was an odd bird. (Get it?! HAHAHA.)

Song of the Day: I Do Love You by GQ

Musical Pipe Dream: I am standing still with my head down looking at my toes. When the music starts up, I start strumming the guitar. We all two-steps in unison and then tap our toes to the front and back. I do a turn in four counts being careful not to trip over any wires.

Blurb 1/365: I think Johnny Depp and I have the same facial hair patterns.
