What you think does matter

The hills are alive with the sound of Music... You know, I usually look forward to the week end. It’s time to hang loose, the most I worry about is if I can get away with “not doing “ the lawn. Heck, come Saturday night - I look forward to joining my kids and watching some Naruto [ cartoons ]. But, lately my week ends seem to bring fear, large amounts of fear. Look, I am grateful that my daughter has an interest for music. She’s shown interest in the "recorder" [ looks like a flute to me ], she’s taken some tips on the Drums from me and when she showed interest in the Piano - a teacher at her elementary school gave her some tips.

It's an interesting thought - a road that humms a tune so you wont be bored or feel bad for humming a song as you try to pay attention to the road. But I have a few thoughts: 1- ofcourse it has to be in japan - becuase in america, who can hear the road over my MP3 player.... 2- if I could hear the song humming, it would probably be late at night and it would put me to sleep [ not good ]. 3- With all the pot holes I encounter - no wonder everything sounds like hip hop....lol

I remember I couldn't wait for my children to be potty trained, why - becuase them things are expensive man. And babies run thru'em like water.....
