i often try and spread the 'musical love' on here by throwing out the tunes and names of musicians that i hold up high on a pedestal, and that many people haven't necessarily heard of. i really only mention musicians that i listen to on a regular basis, and that i would recommend dropping coin on by downloading their albums on itunes. i'm gonna go out on a limb here when i say that this is the ABSOLUTE WORST music i've ever heard. i've seen this kid all over the internet and on tv, and i just don't get it. think about james earl jones polishing off a liter of jack daniels and then breakin' it down on a keyboard. doesn't really sound appealing does it? i didn't think so. i respectfully request that you waste the next 3 minutes of your life by listening to and/or watching the youtube video above. his lyrics sound like someone in the midst of a tourette's fit and the 'music' sounds like the pre-recorded bassa-nova on my old casio keyboard. if you're anything like me, you probably won't be able to make it past the first verse, in which case, if you're really bored you can go read the lyrics HERE.
ha! The first thing I thought when I read your post is "that description reminds me of the the why-is-he-famous dude from youtube that sings 'chocolate rain'" -- and it's him! I don't get it. You should make a post with a list of musicians you like. Do you like Ani DiFranco?
lol...chocolate rain was eh a little catchy ill admit, but this song seriously sounds like he put together a list of words and just started singing them like he just had a stroke! WTF?!

so i'm not sure if you're anything like me, but being the 'off the cuff cuisine' chef that i am, i try not to let anything go to waste. you know, when you bring home some bk or mickey d's, and after consuming your poor excuse for food, have ketchup packets or sauce shots left over that you throw in the door and forget about. same goes for chinese food, and you know they always give you enough sauce to put out a fire at the pentagon with your order. you throw them in your refrigerator door and forget about them. then one day you're trying to impress some last minute guests that have decided to stay at your place for dinner and all you have in your 'gourmet' kitchen are some ramen noodles, frozen veggies and some leftover grilled chicken from last weekend's cookout. the makings of a superb, on-the-fly stirfry. but wait, OH SHIT!, how are you going to make a sauce for your stirfry with no sauce? you look in the fridge and all you see is a bottle of ketchup, french's mustard (i use the term mustard loosely when describing french's), and a jar of pickle juice. oh no, what to do, what to do. then you bust open the butter holder, that invariably has never seen a stick of butter in it's life, and VOILA! soy sauce, duck sauce, hot mustard! packets, but instant chinkychow sauce nonetheless! each one of those packets, collected over time, came from a meal, inevitably eaten over conversation, an argument or during a lone lunch of self-reflection, came from a time and place in the past. as are our lessons learned. we learn through the years how to cope, how to inspire, how to teach, and how to live. we don't always remember those lessons, as we throw condiment packets in the fridge we throw life-lessons into the back of our heads, until one day we find ourself in a situation where it becomes relevant and we pull them from the back of our minds as to not waste the advice and lessons of the past. the moral of this story, and the linking of it to my blog- our life experiences are our 'soy sauce packets,' our hidden links to our experiences of our past...
e·piph·a·ny - noun - a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. [www.dictionary.com]
the epiphanies that we experience in life, questions or situations that we find ourselves in, and don't know how to resolve, can most often be solved my raking our brains in search of a 'soy sauce packet.' an answer to a question. a solution to a problem. and so this, this blog, is simply an ever-expanding culmination of soy sauce packets in my butter box, and the epiphanies that have helped to make room for more butter in my fridge...
