a.) even though jay bennett was a little annoying and hard headed, he was good. he still is. so is edward burch. they are good together. they look alike. what a sad and frustrating thing it must be to be jay bennett, i would think.
b.) i like drinks that come in a bottle. beer and non beer. for example, the good, grimey mexican places that use the tall recycled bottles. i especially prefer a bottle with a twist off top. i've found lately that i will buy beer simply for this reason, resulting in a lot of budweiser, miller high life, and so on. i'll even order them at the bar for their twist off top, and there i don't even get to do the twisting!
c.) i find myself going back and forth, back and forth between pursuing architecture or pursuing teaching. a year or two ago i began developing an interest in teaching highschool history. i've also had loads of experience in the field of building and design. i'm not getting any younger. i'll probably end up teaching hand drafting to a bunch of tenth graders.
d.) i've been greatly enjoying vintage, pre statehood hawaiian music.
e.) we just signed up for netflicks. we are taking suggestions. thanks.

i suggest that you not rent movies and spend more time with us. i miss when we used to indulge in the important things like relationships, sunsets, coffee and ciggerettes. but seriously, rent good movies.
One suggestion...
1) Stop enjoying beer with a twist off cap. There is a fine line between drinking to God's glory and sinful debauchary. That line is usaully crossed or at least blurred by people who enjoy beer in a bottle that comes with a twist off cap (or wine with a cap). Drinking, in order that it glorify God, must be done with good beer, beer in which one can taste the seasons, feel bitterness, want to laugh and cry at just the taste of it...and not the kind of crying that comes from 10 budweisers...I would recommend La Fin De Monde a beautiful Belgian white or even Hoegarden, another Belgian white, it tastes like Christmas. Nothing wrong with the wonderful Mexican ambers/darks such as Dos Equis or Negro Modela. These are hard to beat when fake cheese is in play, like stadium nachos. But as you see, the cap must be forced off in order to free the treasure inside. I could give more suggestions but the exploration is half the fun. Cheers.
Pop the cap, let your heart be glad, and above all be thankful for God your maker has give you all these gifts.
PS As a singer/songwriter you must at least appreciate the literary supremacy of "pop the cap" over "twist the cap". Its like the glory of Bob Dylan compared with this John Mayer character. One can be thought of as a twist off cap, I'll let you guess which one.
PPS Where is the Detroit bar? Maybe Lenny and I could have a date out that way and see you play, if I can find a sitter for my squad.

well put. however my appreciation for these beer's deserves a little credit where it's due. i enjoy budweiser because:
1. it's tied to a fond memory of a german friend i made on my 25th birthday, named Sebastian, who's opinion was that no american beer goes better with his favorite american cigarette, the marlboro red (brutal i know) than bud, both of which he supplied me with in overwhelming amounts as the night went on.
2. i'm lazy.
3. i'm from big bear which is clouded heavily by a heshin influence.
4. it's budget friendly.
but don't get me wrong, i am a fan of the 2X's amber, and a little castle on tap. yes the Lord is good, and the Drink is good.
Detroit Bar is in Costa Mesa at 843 w. 19th. we would love to see you guys.
o.k this is long. i'm done.
what about wine in a bag?
and jess - you should start a blog
In reference to your points above. First, good insights, I am of a much more compassionate frame of mind now. Just wanted to touch on your comments quickly before I get to work...
1). A man cannot argue with your memories.
2). You drink budweiser and you dont make your wife open your beer and bring it to you...your a shame to the budweiser drinking world! Kidding Amber...(Hey Lenny, would you grab me a beer I'm writing important stuff here).
3). THe heshin factor cannot be overlooked or underestimated. A full bottle of Boones Farm Strawberry Hill...Thanks for the terrible memories you longhaired freaks..and why are you always walking on the side of the road in packs cant all 12 of you pitch and buy a car! Sorry flashback.
4). I have great sympathy for this one. That said, Rite Aid has great sales on perfectly good beer, you must buy the case of 12 to feel the savings significantly though.
And Josh T., you are "assistant to the manager".
well, i think i'll wade on in here and set the record straight:
1) it's "Netflix. That "x" is tricky, but crucial. It's what separates the 2Pac from the tupac, if you know what I mean.
2) jay bennett is annoying, and he has an unfortunate habit of aging poorly and having bad hair. the dude has bad hair, and that's his own fault along with eveything else.
3) teach wood shop. best of all worlds.
4) i have never been to hawaii.
5) and now, the important stuff. there are few truths in the world, but one of them is that cheap beer is better than so called "good" beer. now, "good" beer has its merits, but ultimately drinking "good" beer is like drinking milkshakes. one is excellent, two is good, three and you feel like you just drank a loaf of bread. to me, it almost doesn't even qualify as beer. beer should look like urine, be able to be consumed in large quantities without causing significant digestive problems, and always, always serve as the perfect compliment to artificial cheese products. now, the bottle cap debate. i left that debate behind a long time ago. cans, my friends - wave of the future. you can smash'em on your head when they're empty and they leave a delightful tinny essence in the foam of the beverage. easier to carry around. you can put them in your pockets and drink them on the bus. and, they're funnier.
now i'm going to have a beer. how i wish those guys in the white coats could figure out how to let people enjoy beers with folks over the internet. someday...
we still need movie suggestions. help us as we enter the new and exciting world of "netflix". thanks, a
jess - i don't know what "you are assistant to the manager" means. but I’m sure that me not knowing has something to do with it.
i wish i had something more intelligent to say. we need to have come conversations like this. together with beer in hand or over the beernet ( thank you ahamilton)
beernet! true that.
what about the guy who was inventing "smell-o-vision"?
what about "drink-o-vision"?
in fact, why stop there? beer scented car fresheners. or incense. or what if we could fly?
gentleman, say "hi" to the future: beernet. as i type, i type with one hand, because the other hand is clutching a cold beer. now, i am pouring my beer on my computer, to share my wealth. now, my computer is broken.
i wish i could fly.
judging from my own experience, or maybe just my own fine "taste", red beer (red ale and such) tops the piss-yellow-easy-drunk beers AND the dark relaxing hard on the stomach beers. this isn't completely bias, i'll drink whatever you hand me, but trader joes has a fine selection of red beer, amongst other things, and i am hooked. and i dont know what all this talk about a "pop-off cap" is, i twist them ALL off.
and this conversation truly does call for a beer-tasting get-together...
if you become my netflix friend i can make recommendations for you over netflix and you can add them straight to your queue.
