Here are this week’s five songs worth listening to. Kassi Ashton–Hopeless I don’t typically feature a ton of pop music on here, but I can get behind a song about the battle between caring and knowing it might be healthier … Continue reading Fab Five Friday–June 19, 2020
I meant to get this posted last night, but got to hanging out with a friend until fairly late, ironically enough at the local golf course. The Charles Schwab this year feels big. It’s not most years, but it serves as a benchmark this year as the return of sports continues to trickle along. It gives this tournament somewhat of a Major feel. I even considered putting together a Pick 5 group like we often do for Majors. That being said, I have some action on the tournament this weekend. Most of these are off the board already. Sorry about … Continue reading Charles Schwab Challenge Bets
I have been consistently plugging away for five months now, making steady but not spectacular progress. That is fine by me. I’m not pushing any deadlines here, just training for life. Boring, but better. Remember: from shit to suck to … Continue reading Training Log: Kaizen June 1-7, 2020
I grew up a big Bruce Lee fan. Knowing his 30 for 30 was coming up last night, I went to the TV guide and set the DVR. While doing so, I noticed ESPN was showing Ali-Frazier II and III, … Continue reading Ali-Frazier and The Evolution Of An Athlete
I am a judgmental asshole. I know this. I don’t even try to work on that often, even knowing it is a big weak area I have. It is my natural inclination. It is a lot of our natural inclinations. I’m just a little more up front with it than most, I think. Which has probably enabled me to get away with more of than I should, if we were to dig deep into the “oh, that is just Weez being Weez” mindset. Watching the world on fire this week, I have been conscious of this tendency. I made the … Continue reading Setting Aside One Of My Natural Tendencies, Or At Least Trying To

I had four of my five videos for my weekly feature picked out this morning. But, as I watch the news all day from Minneapolis, and see some truly disheartening Facebook comments this week, my mind has drifted to things I am incapable of feeling. Things the people who don’t look like me are talking about. Things that have been there for years, no matter how much those of us on Caucasian Island want to pretend they are not. Those who know me, most of my feeling, and a good amount of thought processing, is done through music. So, I … Continue reading Fab (Thirty) Five Friday–Oppression and Understanding

My friend Tommy Kent shared a post on Facebook this evening that is some targeted marketing on Facebook, and extremely tempting at that. It was a face mask featuring some of hip hop’s most famous tape and CD spines. Yeah, the purchase finger got real itchy. So, instead of insta-buying, I went to work in Spotify throwing these classics all into one playlist, including the additional albums on the shirt versions. This will be my work music for the next week or so, in all likelihood, and a workout list for much longer than that. The playlist is 35 hours … Continue reading N-1: The Classic Material
I was listening to Robert Earl Keen’s The Road Goes On Forever again today and it got me thinking. We have had several songs become full length movies in the past. What songs are out there that weren’t already movies would you like to see get made. I’m talking in the vain of Ode To Billy Joe, Harper Valley PTA, Alice’s Restaurant, Convoy, etc. Also, I still need to see The Indian Runner, based on Highway Patrolman. The Road Goes On Forever would make my list, of course. I have previously discussed with a few the need for a movie … Continue reading Songs You Would Like To See Become Movies
