Just when you thought artists couldn't become any more genius. This reminds me that I came up with a great idea for a photo shoot last night. I don't want to give away the details in a public forum because someone might steal my genius idea.

Headache
I've had one all day at work. And the people around me are being more annoyingly loud than usual.

Occam's razor
I spent about an hour last night trying to find this word. I knew that it meant that the simplest solution is usually the best, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Now that I've re-found it, I must remember it.

Top Concert List
Here is a list to the best concerts I've ever been to.
1. Bush w/ Moby - Fair Grounds Coliseum, Lubbock
I put this first on the list because it was the first concert I'd ever been to and it was probably the craziest. This place was so packed and it was difficult to breathe. People in the mosh pit up front were dropping like flies and being carted out.
2. Stephen Malkmus w/ Bright Eyes - Gypsy Tea Room, Dallas
I remember standing in line and saying "Who is Bright Eyes?" It was very awkward to watch as they would finish songs and some people would clap while others looked around wondering what was going on. My only regret is that I ignored them after the show. Although I did talk to Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich.
3. Our Lady Peace w/ Air - Deep Ellum Live, Dallas
My girlfriend and I just recovered from a 7 month hiatus. OLP was one of our favorite bands. During "One Man Army," Raine Maida climb to the top of the speakers about 10 feet above the stage. As he sang "I remember falling..." he dropped his mic to the stage and dove into the crowd.
4. Bright Eyes w/ Arab Strap - Trees, Dallas
I ran into Conor Oberst washing my hands in the bathroom. I was telling how cool I thought they were when someone came through the heavy wooden door hitting Conor in the head. He grabbed his head, yelped and ran out of the bathroom. The show still went on.
5. Azure Ray w/ Okkervil River - Haileys, Denton
I was the editor of the college newspaper and we had interviewed Azure Ray for a story the week before. I gave them a copy of the newspaper and we had out picture taken. Their show was awesome, but Okkervil River really blew me away.
honorable mention:
Sons and Daughters w/ The Kills - Antones, Austin
Midlake w/ Tacks, the Boy Disaster - Parish, Austin
Bright Eyes w/ M. Ward - Gypsy Tea Room, Dallas
Regina Spektor - ACL 07, Austin
Andrew Bird - ACL 07, Austin
The Hold Steady - Parish, Austin

What Is It?
OMG..watch out for that giant testicle. Wouldn't you hate it if your job was to walk around in your underwear in a testicle costume? Now that is something you might want to keep off your resume.

Tornado
Although I lived in one of the most tornado-proned parts of the world for 25 years, I have not once seen an actual tornado. I've seen some clouds scary, rotating clouds. I've seen damage that could have been from a tornado, but I've never seen a funnel.
I have dreamed of tornadoes though.
