Anyone still alive out there?....If so, then 'go mental' with me

Mebee you're still there and mebee you're not. (I could just be whistling in the dark, (we've all done THAT before.)

However, if you are still a lookey-loo after all these years, give out with a whoop n a holler. I realize blogs are so passe now. I soooo understand.

I'm thinking of shutting this baby down pretty soon.

So add your names to posterity aka forever and so forth and respond with a closing comment to seal the deal. Do it for me, do it for you, do it for someone you love. But for gosh sakes just make yourself heard one last time!

Hello?

Anyone....?

Where else will you hear random rib-jarring rock like this?

Oh well...time to go mental wit ma boyz da ramones (then get the heck outta here....)

Let's go

swimming taco cousins

if
the
Youngbloods
and Strangeloves

held
a
world tour

it would probably be called the

strange
blood-love
tour '10

but that might attract the vampire movie crowd accidentally

and wouldn't that be a clash of cultures. (or a crash of vultures?!)

Everybody's got one so let's opine

There are two great rock n roll questions that have never been fully explained. You know that's what we're here for. To give you an opportunity to vent and tell us their meanings.

Now is the time for you to take a shot at them:

1. We know he jumped off the Tallahachee Bridge, but what exactly did Billy Jo McAllister do up on Chocktaw Ridge to cause all this commotion?

2. What did Mary Hill do after dark in Cherry Hill Park to cause such a thrill?

Leapin' And Jumpin' On A Moon Shadow

On August 10 there is no moon. I say this because I glanced at my calendar and saw a black dot where the moon usually is. Of course there still is a moon but it is not being struck by sunlight at all so it is shaded black. That got me wondering about what would earth be like without a moon to influence it. A scientist named Bernard Foing wrote an article about it and he said:

"If you would take away the Moon suddenly, it would change the global altitude of the ocean. Right now there is a distortion which is elongated around the equator, so if we didn’t have this effect, suddenly a lot of water would be redistributed toward the polar regions."


He also said:


"The Moon has been a stabilizing factor for the axis of rotation of the Earth. If you look at Mars, for instance, that planet has wobbled quite dramatically on its axis over time due to the gravitational influence of all the other planets in the solar system. Because of this obliquity change, the ice that is now at the poles on Mars would sometimes drift to the equator. But the Earth’s moon has helped stabilize our planet so that its axis of rotation stays in the same direction. For this reason, we had much less climatic change than if the Earth had been alone. And this has changed the way life evolved on Earth, allowing for the emergence of more complex multi-cellular organisms compared to a planet where drastic climatic change would allow only small, robust organisms to survive."


So the moon would not only affect ocean levels and tides it would affect our ability to enjoy those tides. We could hardly hang ten if we were only as developed as a starfish or sea grape.

Let's not forget the moon. Especially when it is completely out of sight on August 10. I'm declaring this "moon remembrance and appreciation night". How you celebrate is your own business. Me? I'll be sipping a cool frosty in honor of la luna.

Upwardly Tipped Off

Ever find yourself wanting to learn about a place, maybe a destination you are headed to, and you don't know anyone you can ask or anyone who has been there? I surfed over to yelp.com this morning and accidentally found "real reviews" from "real people", as the advert says.

But when I checked out a few places in my town I already knew all about, I found that the comments were....RIGHT On ThE MONEY! (Both the positives and negs.) Check it out and get informed all up the ying-yang. Or up the wazoo. Or up wherever you get things 'upped' in your crib.
