Through A Squinted Eye

Y, why Y… why? I survived Z and started to feel confident until I got ahead of myself.  I realized after Y is X!?! What the hell am I going to do with X? I have some words that end with X. Oh well, I will quit procrastinating. Onto Y…

Youthful Looks

Curse?!?! How dare I say curse.  Well it is inevitable that I will enter a bar, order a drink, or peruse the fine brew in a local liquor store and get carded.  Alright I am not 32 so why should I be bitchin’ since the law states that ID must be checked unless the person appears to be 32 or older.  Well it is not only that I get carded, but I get the stare down, occasionally the interrogation of info on my driver’s license or even proof of a second photo ID (Which I do not think I have). One instance I provided all of the aforementioned and still the door man said “how about I have a police officer come by to verify this ID.” Are you effin kidding me. I told him to feel free and he let me enter.  What takes the proverbial cake these days is the fact that I am typically 5 years older than the person asking for ID.  They say it is good to look so young, but I sometimes feel that my youthful looks hinders opportunities in many social and business settings.

YouTube

Who does not like YouTube. Yes it is somewhat scary to see the various defects of our society displayed for all to see, but it can be very entertaining and useful.  It often allows me to check up on a new album before spending the cash to have 1 awesome song surrounded by crap in my possession.   

Yellow Ledbetter

In the vein of YouTube I came across something that forever makes me laugh.  I am a huge fan of Pearl Jam and the song Yellow Ledbetter was always a song that would make me stop and listen to its passionate delivery.  Eddie Vedder is an amazing vocalist, but what the hell is he singing.  I know it is not uncommon to confuse words or hear the wrong thing, but I could not make sense of it.  Then I found Misheard Lyrics of Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam.  I will never be able to hear the song the same.  Potato Wave.

Yin – Yang

I know Yin-Yang or Ying Yang instantly produces the mental image of a symbol that may or may not send you into a hippie state of mind.  Regardless the meaning and philosophy of it is very dear to me because it prevails in everything.  There is a constant push/pull relationship that is much bigger than us or our mental capacity.  Do I know or understand it all, not even close.  Do I feel that Karma interplays with this, absolutely.  This  is a reminder to me of my existence and actions in the space we exist. 

Yellow Submarine

The Beatles are indeed amazing to me (See also Beatles).  Just ask Danielle, for months she was sick of me talking about the history, the songs, the influence, etc.  There is one song I have yet to place in there extensive catalog…Yellow Submarine.  Can there be something that is more invasive.  Listen to it once and you will be singing the damn thing all day long.  Hell if you have heard it, you are probably currently singing it in your head.  You can thank me and hate me later. For now take a listen.
