hold the phone!

so, haven't blogged for a hot (andrew dice clay HOTT!) minute...

here's what i have to say:

i'm setting the sound for incoming text messages on my new phone; now, when you've got something quick to say to me, i'll hear craig finn say, "stay positive!"

why? good question! let me tell you...

i really, really dislike the hold steady. but who can't get behind those two words, "stay positive"? i mean, really? who?

i do need to stay positive and one surefire way to do that is to remind myself that there are things i hate in the world. craig finn's 5am-kermit-thee-frog laced tone is - for sure - one of those things...

but more important than being reminded that i hate things is being reminded that i can and - so what? they can exist and i can do my thing which is likely hated by someone. live and let live and thrive.

that man's voice is good for that last part in particular because i have several close friends - friends i'm not afraid to say i love - who really, really like that band and, what - should i dislike them? no way!

"hey, anthony - i love you - but only like 99%! it's just that, well - you're into craig finn and i can't get behind that..."

opinions are the spice of this shit...and in this display of technological tolerance i will be able to remind myself that i am to let things go; craig finn certainly doesn't care what i'm about!
