It's Still Rock And Roll To Me There was a comedian, it may have been Seinfeld, who had a bit about men hitting a style wall at some point in their lives. Some peak moment where they decide, this is as far as I’m going, this is the look I’m going with. Whatever it is.
David Dreams Of Everything I am sometimes a little despondent that I will unlikely ever be able to do certain things, achieve certain dreams, or accomplish any number of secret wishes or desires. Most things, at least the things I dream about, are not really outside of my grasp but are simply unlikely due
All Uniquely The Same Here in America, where individualism is the true national religion, we demand the freedom to be different and then work tirelessly to get everyone to follow suit. We fight for our right to be uniquely homogenous, and fight legislation that allows anyone to be different than what we’ve collectively

The Early Days Of Podcasting I was an early adopter of podcasting, not necessarily making them back then, but listening. I got into them before Apple incorporated the concept of podcasting into iTunes and it blew up the first time around. I was using some RSS reader of some kind, but don’t remember which
