Shadows

I was thinking over the weekend how the events of youth can cast a long shadow into adulthood. Or if shadow is too negative a term, how strongly we are influenced by some of those now far distant events.
I had a nostalgic poke through dads old record collection - much as I used to… Who could forget discovering the Tull - Aqualung and Boureé, Fleetwood Mac, Rodriguez floating in the bubble on the Cold Fact cover or floating away with Heikki's Suburbia Bus Tour ride. The warm fuzzy of finding the burnt hombre cover of "Nancy and Lee" . I remember lying on my bedroom floor listening to Lee Hazlewood trying to hit the high notes and tapping my finger to Jakson. Did anybody actually take off their cloths to Peter Starstedt?.
Probably feeling a bit sad about dad had me reaching back in time to happy childhood days and thinking just for a moment how my kids may never have the pleasure if flicking through my record collection - It's all on the iPod.
(p.s. - I was trying to do the iPod silhouette but you can't see the iPod headphone wires in the pic. FAIL)

Bloody good dinner

Why girls suck

Well, the good ones at any rate:

Bric A brac

• Busy time of year starting around now
  
• Just booked Ski holiday for Aug
  
• Oldest kid just started school - like proper big school
  
• Dad is doing ok - in that he is not doing any worse
  
• Broken stereo has been fixed
  
• My arthritis has got worse and makes me feel crap - the drugs make the arthritis better but make me feel crap
  
• I've become an old man - I'm growing tomatoes in the garden.
  
• Megan Fox is a mutant - I'm never going to be able to look at a picture of her wo looking closely at her mutant thumb.
  
• The Australian government is soon to enact its ban on pornography and anything else the fuddy duddy wowsers find offensive. This includes making it illegal to show/have/covert an image of a flat chested woman as clearly - who would want to look at a flat chested woman unless they were a pedophile. Depiction of female ejaculation is also deemed illegal. I'm thinking of picking up sticks and moving to a more lenient country - like Saudi.
