Kickin' The Stall

It's amazing what you can find on the Internet these days- the song is by one of my favorites, none other than the great Dino Lee; B-movie afficionados may recognize the song as the one the band is playing at the end of Blood Diner- and hopefully those of you who have better things to do and a shred of sanity left will also enjoy the song. More often than not, I listen to Dino Lee while at the gym. I find this is a good song to be listening to while cranking out curls or bench presses.

In other world news, things are pretty much as they always are. Connecticut remains the same, and so does Oklahoma. I get the occasional text message here while on leave, and the more things change, the more they stay the same. I continue to be the same humble and charmingly handsome person I always was, and still am working towards those stripes. What then? Well, who knows? The future, as I've said (and been reminded of), is not yet written. There's not too much to add at this point, seems like the same stuff, different day. In some ways, I'm looking forwards to resuming my duties, in some ways not. Lately I've found myself full of a nervous energy, wondering what comes next. Am I lost in the mix, riding the current but not really accomplishing anything? The question is what it always has been-overcome inertia, move forwards, and hope for the best. I'm kind of reminded of The Magician in the Tarot, the tools spread before him- but where is his mentor and wise teacher? I could use a little wisdom now and then, but I guess it's where you find it.

I'm going to have a rough time going back to Oklahoma, missing all this good cooking the women in my life are making. The food I cook, as well as that the mess hall makes, is really not that bad- but as I'm sure anyone can attest to, there's no substitute for good home cooking. I guess the secret ingredient is love- hope that makes me a decent cook too!

Well, on a final note, the footage in the above video is from a greatly underappreciated movie, one Bubba Ho-Tep. Great movie, weird title. The plot is pretty much what the title suggests, except stranger. Worth a look if you haven't seen it, anyway. Well, steer clear of the Tenafly Viper, and hopefully the future will hold more interesting news!
