i only want to be famous if god will let me
i only want to be famous
if god will let me
i don't need to be popular
if it doesn't help me feel free
i don't want to preach to a choir
that doesn't get me
so help me find my way
today
i don't need a million dollars
or the biggest mansion in town
in fact i like the place i'm living
i only hope i don't get kicked out
i appreciate just about anything
that comes about
and finds it's way to me
like that time we found a guitar in the dumpster
in century city
Always thought it'd be fun to be on the cover of a magazine
or maybe just somehow be part of some kind of scene
cause I got ideas for a million things
thoughts on how life could really be
and I guess I'm just looking for the right person to listen to me.

Weekend with Suzie
Friday night we watched CASABLANCA. ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034583/ )
Saturday we went to Bagel Nosh. http://www.yelp.com/biz/bagel-nosh-santa-monica
Than we went and parked near the Promenade and danced to her Car Stereo on top of a parking garage to Springsteen,
U2's October, and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Than we went to see Religulous http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815241/ at Laemmales, than had Sushi across the street.
Than we had some drinks at the Penthouse in the Huntley Hotel http://thehuntleyhotel.com/penthouse-restaurant.php
I do not think I've ever seen a better view from a toilet stall in my entire life. After that, we went home and watched another
Bogart movie, The dark passage. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039302/.
The next day we looked at cats and dogs at the pound py pico/ sawtelle and had some indian food. We concluded the day
by looking at 2 houses and 2 condos for sale over by Montana st.

MY MOM!!!!!!!!
My mom was interviewed about the debatesin the Press Democrat, here's what she said:
Frieda Ferrick was having coffee with friend Sharon Daniels-Duerr of Rohnert Park.
Daniels-Duerr said she’d read some recent ideas on helping the financial mess and would ask the candidates about those ideas.
But she and Ferrick also wanted to know about social issues.
“I want to hear details regarding health care,” said Daniels-Duerr.
“Health care and education have been pushed aside,” Ferrick added.
Some people clearly knew what they didn’t want to hear.
No smearing, said Guthrie. “I’m really tired of that.”
Others echoed Guthrie’s disgust.
“I want them to talk about issues and not mudslinging,” Ferrick said. “There are too many important things going on.”

all this talk of

New song: ball of knowing
always thinking of the right words to say
when I'd rather say nothin' at all
takes a lot of energy to expel these thoughts
into a ball of knowing
and understanding
and contradiction,
it's my, my great affliction.
that's what it is!
that's what it is!
that's what it is!
that's what it is!
everybody wants to talk to me.
their words go right through me
leave a message and i'll call you back
some other time
I don't have any money for you
I feel bad but i gotta eat too
hey mister didn't your daddy tell ya
nothin's for free?
Mine did!
And it takes energy
to swim out to the sea
out past the wall of shit
where you can't hear any more of it.
Now i feel bad (no i don't)
for speakin my truth
now I feel bad (no you don't)
why do i do
what i do
what i do- oo
why do i do
what i do
what i do-oo.

heaven and hell didn't get you anywhere.

If you're in business, you know the world is in a giant conspiracy
to screw you out of every last dime. Sounds negative doesn't it?
Certainly not positive thinking.
Or is it?
You see, when you decide you want to become successful in any
endeavor, you have to orient yourself to a whole new reality. What
is unusual to most people, is now usual to you.
See, if you're in business you're supposed to feel like you're
being boiled alive in bullshit each and every day--because if you're
not, you're probably not doing too much or making too much money.
The more ventures you engage in, the more BS you experience.
That mindset, however, is to be welcomed because it is reality.
And when you embrace reality, and accept that each and every day
you strive for success will be full of BS along the way, you
suddenly get mentally tough.
You're able to put aside the BS that sinks other, lesser men, and
concentrate on the task at hand. At the end of the day (or the
week, or the month), you'll come out beaten and battered, but with
the success you've rightly earned.
Adopting this mindset (and actually living it) has a neat side
effect--you're suddenly very attractive to women. Why? Because
they know you can deal with the BS, set it aside, and get done what
you have to get done.
They also know most men can't do this. Women are so used to the
sissy boyfriend coming over and getting teary eyed because the
"boss disrespected him" or "yelled at him."
When they meet a man who actually thinks it's a good day when he
got off with "just an ass chewing" they jump for joy because such a
man is so rare in this day and age.
So, embrace the bullshit. You don't have to like it (I don't, and
never will), but you must acknowledge its existence, deal with it
and move on. The rewards, however, are great and most men will
never experience them.
On with the fun....

a wannabe vegetarian succumbs to a late night cornbeef sandwich at Canters, and then repents over a pineapple shake and zucchini fries at Astro Burger
So, I understand the merits of vegetarianism. I would say I do not eat meat about 95% of the time. I love juicing, raw fooding, vegan cupcakes, etc. But whenever I sit down at Canters on Fairfax the omnivore in me just jumps out of nowhere. I once was told by an actor in Northern California that sometimes he makes the 425 mile drive from his house just to go get a Pastrami sandwich. There's just nothing like a a plate of hot food after a sweaty gig in the adjacent Kibitz room. (My band has played there a dozen times this year.) And the Matzo Ball soup, while not quite as good as Grandma's, comes pretty darn close. (That's mainly veggie, except, I think the broth.)
My friends and I are usually throwing food around there like it's going out of style. Trading half a tuna for half a caesar salad, tossing bagel chips at each other in the heat of debate (comes with the matzo ball soup.) If your brain needs an omega three break during your late night studies, grab some bagel and lox!
Gotta get that Screenplay pounded out by next weekend? The coffee is strong here. And the waitstaff is truly inspirational. They've got attitude, stories, and many have been around quite a few years. It's a non kosher greasy spoon with a yiddish flavor, where the extroverted come to be reclusive, and the timid come to rock out! Canter's was established in 1924, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Check them out here: www.cantersdeli.com
Of course if you're trying to avoid a Gastric bypass, hop down the street to Swingers at 8020 Beverly Blvd. It's literally around the corner from Canters. Decked out in with a Warhol- retro vibe, it's opened until 4 in the morning, and everything I've ever eaten here is fantastic. It's fairly healthy, and when I want a vegan burrito it's the perfect place. If you're in the mood for some finger food you can load up on some of the few dozen side dishes they have, most of which are fairly affordable and range from quinoa, goat cheese, sauteed zucchini, or my personal fave, the homemade guacamole. Honestly, their menu is so vast, and not just with shakes, smoothies, entrees and desserts, but there is also a fairly substantial booze section in case you want to continue your late night buzz! In my group, a lot of times we recommend that for anyone who has a long drive ahead, the rocket shake will give you the fuel you need. It's your basic chocolate shake but it's got an extra dose of espresso, AND some espresso beans thrown in for good measure. Check it out!
http://www.swingersdiner.com/
If you're looking for a quicker fix, we have a third option, where I believe you can do no wrong. The Astro Burger is a great late night alternative. There's a few of them, I recommend the one at 7475 Santa Monica Blvd. They're opened until three in the morning and offer everything from fried zucchini (a veggie favorite) to the pineapple shake (my personal favorite.) It's a classic example of Los Angeles at it's Melting pot multicultural best. It offers an assortment of yummified mouth watering pleasantries from Greek and Mexico, AND a vegetarian menu that it filled with so many deluxe items (I must admit I haven't tried them all - but will.) For all you Carnivores, there's more than enough for your palate. It's a guilty omnivore's dream- and easier to stay on the Veggie side of the Gastronomical line than other restaurants previously mentioned. (Sorry Canters.)
As far as veggie burgers go, there is no rival for their garden burger. I prefer the non soy patty which is a blend of mushrooms, onions, herbs, and low fat cheese. There is a soy cheese available upon request, but I'm personally avoiding soy for now so can't recommend it. Anyways, I've tasted v.b.'s at every corner of the planet and prefer the ones that you can find at the Santa Monica and Gardener Astro burger. http://www.astroburger.com/
