Ramblings of an American Madman

Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - did I ever tell you about my tag line of 'Just another Day!" - one New Years Eve in Las Vegas I was on an elevator with a gentleman dressed in a tuxedo - I said hello and asked him how he was doing and he said "Just another Day!" - a matter of perspective - here I was a spud from Idaho having a once in a lifetime experience in Vegas and to this penguin it was just another day - that one encounter stuck with me - Just another Day - and it is - started by waking (not baking), caffeine load, work, busy day with minimal down time - home for a change of clothes and off to the Western Idaho State Fair - an experience of its own - love fair food - afraid I was going to get sick - meatball sandwich and ice cream and lemonade make for a little tummy rumble - I enjoy watching the people as much as the exhibits, rides or vendors - I must say it takes a special person to work the fairs traveling from town to town hawking your wares - does anyone know the lyrics to the song 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails - let me know - what are your favorite lyrics - one of mine is from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" - 'To be a rock and not to roll' - the meaning of life is contained within the lyrics of that song - if a scientist could unlock the key to those lyrics we would know all there is to know about life and our existence - anyway I bet it is like that - Pink Floyd has some awesome lyrics too - wish I knew some of them - by the way which one is Pink? - let us see - Senator Kennedy passed away overnight - the history books are mixed on him - let's concentrate on what positive things he did - not much else going on - guess Boise State has a foot ball game coming up -what else is going on, and on and on and on - not all my friends have homes - think about that shit - so long from beautiful downtown Downtown - until I meet again - bye!
