Urlacher Tackles top Honors


Very big applause for Brian Urlacher, #54 on the Chicago Bears. He has been named as the NFL's Defensive player of the year! . He is an awesome player and a good role model for young players as well.

He plays a clean game, doesn't get in trouble off the field and continues the fine tradition of Bears football defensive dominance, following the prowess of Dick Butkus and Mike Singletary. Hall of Fame here comes Urlacher!

From the Brady Bunch to Combination Locks...

I want to be a Bastion of *something*. I just think it's the coolest thing to be referred to as... "Hey, that Troy, he's a real Bastion of *x* ". Maybe I can be a Bastion of Kisses, or Creativity. Ooh I know, I will strive to be referred to as a "Bastion of Obscure Knowledge".

It's one of those great words that sound cheeky, but aren't... like subpoena, pussywillow and uvula. Or I can be a Bastion of Funking and be referred to as "that funkin' Bastion".

Regardless, this is one of my goals for 2006, to become a Bastion.

Happy New Year = "Felix Natividad"?

We went to have a New Yew Year's wingding with Greenfly and Jayde Monkey and at the stroke of midnight as kisses and cheers were shared, I heard the gueros (white dudes) behind the bar - and one in the kitchen yell "Felix Natividad!" and flash a cheesy grin on his latino busboy buddy

The guy laughed shyly, sipped his hard-earned champagne and set the unaware paleface straight, but it was a funny slice of Americana. Norman Rockwell should render a painting of a socially awkward coworker shouting out butchered congratulations at his foreign counterpart. That's one for the 2007 calendar, you can use that idea, Mr. Rockwell. *sarcastic grin* Yes, I am aware that Mr. Rockwell is no longer with us

So to all my friends, hermason latinos and total strangers... Happy New Year, Felix Natividad, Bonne année and so many more... How to say Happy New Year in foreign tongues ( http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0923039.html )

Human Beat Box Fascination...


Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie, Darren "The Human Beat Box" Robinson (see photo) from the Fat Boys, Michael Winslow from Police Academy and that little blue guy from Sesame Street who opened his mough and sounded off like a jackhammer or ambulance siren... rubber lipped inspiration for an only child who liked to make interesting noises. Still do, as I always say, life is more interesting with a soundtrack. Go here for beatboxing resources and juicy street cred: www.humanbeatbox.com .

I would like to teach myself cyclical breathing like Kenny G. and Aborigines so I could noise-make and not have to stop and breathe. That would be handy for other things too, but let's leave that out of this post for the time being *lick*.

Until then, I will continue to embellish my world with sounds, effects and odd noises to punctuate everyday happenings.
