I was given an electric guitar for Christmas and the process of slowly learning has been fun...I put about an hour and a half in tonight but I am exhausted (not from the guitar but from getting up at 4 in the morning for work)...may not have learned much but I am having a blast.
REMINDER TO EVERYONE: The New Kurt Cobain Documentary comes out this weekend in many markets so check your local movie listing to see showtimes, it is supposed to be amazing. Here in San Diego it is playing at the Ken Cinema Starting tomorrow for One-Week Only!
Early reports are that Mike Huckabee (Bad Idea Party) and Barack Obama (No Idea Party) have won their respective caucuses in the great state of Iowa. Apparently Iowa Hearts Huckabees...sorry I couldn't resist. Nice job to MSNBC for their coverage this evening which has been superb...their whole marketing campaign against Fox News should be "Hey we don't have any blowhards over here...check us out" On a serious note...if the election came down to the two of these guys and you have any sense of logic or intelligence you would vote for Obama. Of course Huckabee would have the Jesus vote in his corner which automatically negates logic coming into the equation. I mean seriously...when you go down the list of bloody organized corrupt organizations currently afloat in the world the list should begin and end with the Evangelicals.
Anyone else happy to see that Jackass Rudy Giuliani implode? I sure am.
Happy to see my Chicago Bulls playing better basketball now that Scott Skiles has rejoined his rightful position as the prime test-tube adult at the Hair-Club for Men Factory. Interim Coach Boylan has done a nice job and actually set a rotation so players know what to expect. Kudos for bringing Ben Gordon off the bench again Jimmy.
I am checking out legendary punk band the Circle Jerks this Saturday at the House of Blues in Downtown San Diego. Frontman Keith Morris has one of the truly great voices in the history of the genre and their shows are always a blast. More importantly the opening band is Black President (who I have not seen live yet) featuring one of my favorite personalities in music Charlie Paulson who is also a guitarist for ska/punk band Goldfinger. Black President's raw, live energy sound from their recordings has me especially excited to see them. Guitarist Greg Hetson will be pulling double duty as he is a guitarist for both bands...he of course also is a guitarist for the greatest punk band of all-time Bad Religion...now that's talent.
I will also be getting out to the driving range this Saturday morning (for the second week in a row) as I try to reclaim my rightful spot as "The greatest golfer in the history of the world in my mind on every Saturday Morning"...ask Chowder as he watched me effortlessly hit the Orange target at the range last weekend on my fifth shot.
Finally, I would like to thank my friends for all the great times during the past year. Many of you were at Casa De Rambler on New Year's Eve, which was a top notch fiasco. To all my friends across this great land of ours I wish you nothing but the best over the next year.
Ramble Over

Politics wise I'm probably voting for Obama in the Georgia primary on Feb. 5. It's nice to see Rudy fall from grace. He was a shitty mayor in NYC before 9-11. A lot of folks don't know that. I just hope that in November we put a Democrat in the White House.
The Bulls look to be turning the corner, but I had to part ways with Tyrus Thomas on one of my fantasy teams. Way too inconsistent for my liking. He appears to flip-flop minutes with Joakim Noah.
Congrats on the guitar. Heather got me Guitar Hero III so while not the real thing, it's nice to be able to jam to original recordings of "Welcome to the Jungle," "Suck My Kiss," "Even Flow," "Bulls on Parade," and "Paint it Black."
