Sited upon small volcanic cone in the high desert midway between Las Vegas & Los Angeles, this 60-acre retreat seems to cap the mountain top with its dome-like roof: Concrete and truss beams form its dome allowing the interior to embrace 360 degrees of stark, strong almost lunar landscape. Main house of two bedrooms, 2 [...]

would you run if I asked you to stay?

Sorry is all I can say…”

Why did it have to change into this? Everyone hates when you’re forced to change plans, but drastic shifts in society which work against you, which you try and fight for the next 5 or so years, watching yourself fail over and over again and praying for something to change.

It’s like you “try to feel better”, and you think you do (or you want to think you do), but then you get sad again and it just feels weird.

If you’re as old as me, you remember the 1990s Nickelodeon cartoon Doug. The children in the show listened to a music group “The Beets”, a hybrid of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Ramones, and The Clash.
Here are some real people dressing up like The Beets and singing to their songs “I Need Mo’ [...]

I most likely didn’t post this here before, as it doesn’t turn up in a search. But I discovered this goofy act of plagiarism a long time ago:

Apparently while recording the album “Show Me The Way” was on, they hired a new Bon Jovi-like singer and recorded a dance song which doesn’t sound anything remotely like Styx.
