I made a deal with God

I have always liked Leonard Cohen's music. He is one of my favorite songwriters. Other favorites are Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Tori Amos, and Ben Harper. Back to Leonard Cohen, he writes two types of songs, songs about God, the nature of life, living with soul and dealing with lose, and then he writes song about blowjobs. Both type are written from an honest open point of view with eloquence. He just spent five years of his life in a monastery, why you ask? His answer … "I turned sixty" It was a deal he made with God.

The night has questions, it's not me.

Is someone nice because he or she is easy for you to get alone with? If they find you interesting, does that make them smart? If they find you jokes humors does that prove they have a good since of humor? No you say… then how do you know someone is nice, smart, or funny?

On another note question, what is the worst thing you have ever done too someone? Do you talk about it or do you hide it? Well … times up… pencils down… did you lie did you steal, what was the passion behind the crime? Tonight is a night I want to ask questions, too see if everyone else's dirty little secrets are the same as mine. My guess is the are, and I know I need drink.

A family of earth and gold, but still none the less alone.

Well I have a lot to catch all of you up on. Sorry about the lack of updates.
On the Music fount I have two notes. One if you have not picked up the new CD by SugarBomb do your self and you ancestors a favor and do so. They are a really contender for Dan's band of the future. It is very pop but I still recommend it. I saw them live with Blue October and they so rock. Second I have decided I want a Banjo. Not that I have bought one yet, but I want one. Here is my reasoning:

1.It is impossible to play the Banjo and be depressed.
2.You cannot take you self seriously if you play the banjo.
3.I really want to play a Banjo in a grave yard to see if it is creepy or cool

On the what has been going on in Dan's life question… Lets start with the big things. I walked out of work the other day. I got frustrated with people at work. One of those things that drive me nuts kept happening to me. When someone asks you for you opinion and then tells you your wrong… I have needed to take a day off and that seemed like a good time. Relaxed for a day and went back. I feel much better now, and am not taking it so seriously. It is hard making two companies one. A much bigger challenge then I thought it would be. It boils down to trust and respect, things you do not do when you are competitors. It will all work out, I hope.

I spent a great weekend in the middle of no-were. With a good friends Bill McCurry and his wife Kathleen. We went to Sweetwater Texas, yeah the land of cactus and dirt and did nothing. It was really cool. Not that I am saying I want to live there. I would be insane inside of a week. Bill is strange sort. (As if any of my friends are normal) He is the kind of person who is deep, not in the meaning of life way, but as a person. You have to understand you will not ever get to know him, really. Have you ever crawled inside someone else head and understood them… It was not Bill. Don't get me wrong; I have called him a close friend for years. I would trust him with my life and have. He is just deep. And has a quote on the quotes page now...
