This is where I grew up.
This is why I am the way I am and why these kids will probably be too.

I missed my flight home from Atlanta. I get to be alone and introspective for the next 12hrs. Good thing I’m packed and prepared to avoid boredom: a small library of books, MBP for movies, iPhone for sanity, iPod for music, DS for tetris, and an army of anonymous passerbys to watch. Listening to Donny Hathaway sing Come Ye Disconsolate reminds me how great I have it: health, wealth, a plethora of gadgets and toys and a rad family to call my own. Gratitude is happiness. Happy 5-days-after shanksgiving!
I’m gonna make Madden a TMNT costume. He’s definitely a Michelangelo kinda guy.
Uncle Jesse is Joining Glee
Does this seem odd to you? Well it shouldn’t. Uncle Jesse is huge in Japan with Big Fish Records and the Beach Boys are big fans too. Jesse and the Rippers would tear it up at Regionals. Uncle Jesse has pink bunnies in his room, he can do anything from barbershop doo-wop to Elvis covers. He’s hung out with Little Richard and performed with Tony Page for Stephanie’s birthday. He’s caked in Aquanet and tight black jeans and he’s all that.
Watch this and remember why these Glee kids will have their minds blown. Turn it up!
