First off, thanks to anyone who might have contacted me about yesterday’s entry… Things are resolved at the decision level, and Sarah and I are working on the action level of it. Of course, that’s not an overnight thing, its a multi-day plan. But I’ll post more about what’s going on come Monday at the latest…

That being said, let’s look at my school week and my two classes in this little entry before a little rant tomorrow…
MAN4600 - International Management: For my Monday and Wednesday nights for the first 6 weeks of summer, I’ve got this class on my plate. Focusing sort of on the same stuff as I did in GEB3356 last semester, this class looks more at the management focus of business and rules that govern management and the management. There’s a group project, and it looks to be just a lot of fast-paced work thinking in a globalization focus.
MAN4720 - Strategic Management: Capstone, as its commonly called. The final class you take as a business major. And this is my semester for it. With 8 weeks, this class overlaps my MAN4600 class, and I attend the video lectures as they tape on Monday morning and my lab section is on Tuesday night. So another two day class for me. But, its interesting. This whole strategy and planning and whatnot really fits me and the way I think. And there’s a case competition, which I’ll talk more about later at some other point.

So there you have it. More on classes to come…

My apologies. This is just filler today, you could say. There’s a lot of things that are on my plate currently that I’m sorting through.

I’ll have more tomorrow, with a bit more information as to why today is so cryptic. But well wishes are more than welcome, and I’ll reveal all tomorrow.

Believe me, I’d love to say more. Between Edwards endorsement of Obama (which I called on May 9th), Keith Olbermann’s Special Comment last night, President Bush’s Nazi remark against Obama this morning not two hours ago, my classes, and what I’ve got on my plate that Sarah and I are working on now? I have weeks worth of crap for sure.

I promise. Tomorrow.

Well, I feel like that. Its one of those moments that I’m sitting here, and I feel like there’s so much going on, but I don’t have the words or directions at the moment to really want to sit down and sort through it.

Although, I have been following politics in the wake of last night and all of that fun stuffs, and I found this little article fairly interesting. Its a neat little read about the other senators and if they’d be interested in the VP nomination from either candidate. There are some funny responses in there and some interesting other replies too. Edward Kennedy’s is worth a read. Good laugh right there. And some of them, well, when you know who’s saying it, there’s a lot more weight to what’s not said than to what is said.

And soon, I feel like I should talk more about delegates, because there’s an interesting change of a pledged delegate from Clinton to Obama. The whole “shift of pledged delegates” was an idea that Clinton floated a while back, but to hear the reality of it sounds so absurd.

All in all, well, I feel like today I’ve got nothing. Everything is such a blurry haze that I don’t want to sort through it.

Well that, and I don’t want to read all that I have to read for class AND sort through it. I mean, why else would I have been watching American Gladiators this morning instead of 2 hours of MSNBC…

Well, on the “fair success” that I saw on my posts last week on the democratic primaries, I thought I’d share a little insight on recent updates in the campaign.

After everything, why is Clinton still in the race is the biggest thing that I keep hearing. People think she’s hurting the presumptive Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. Others say that its because she’s trying to make up the $20 million in debt that she owes to creditors and herself. And even more have the thought that she’s appealing to the Superdelegates on each state that she’s winning. She’s expected to win tonight in WV by a high margin, and some think that this is her trying to fuel things. And with that WV win, there’s talk that she’s staying in just so the presumptive nominee doesn’t lose a state after he’s the presumptive nominee. The truth of the matter is, this isn’t a question that I have an answer for. By law, Clinton’s allowed to use up to half of her personal assets if she so chooses, which means there’s still more personal money. But if this isn’t recouped by the end of the process, well, then its lost. The only person who knows why Clinton is still in, is Clinton herself. We’ll see what happens as things go on.

Next up, the big one is what’s the deal with the superdelegate counts and delegate counts. In essence, each network uses their news feeds and does the best they can with them. I prefer to use the MSNBC count myself, just because they’re a bit more conservative/hesitant to add to the count, and I like Chuck Todd and the First Read Blog staff’s take. When it comes to the actual day of a primary, I like using the CNN Election Center because of their breakdown in the county-by-county returns as they come in. But, back to the question at hand. You see the difference in counts because it depends on the official endorsement statements, the candidate’s blogs, the AP wire statements, and the casual endorsements (like Edward’s nice words to both) versus the official endorsements. Its a really thin line there. And to give you an idea too, in the span of me typing this post, there have been two new superdelegate endorsements. And I’d be damn certain that by the time you read this post, there’ll be at least another, possibly more than that too by tomorrow this time.

And Florida and Michigan are back in the headlines, seeing Obama is starting to visit these states (I’ve been hearing rumors of Orlando for on May 20th/21st, I’m looking into it). There’s been a plan on the table that seats the Michigan and Florida delegates that Obama has agreed to and the DNC seems to be supporting as well. The catch, however, is that Clinton’s campaign doesn’t agree with it because it seats delegates for Obama from Michigan–the uncommitted votes. The catch is, the uncommitted votes aren’t exactly Obama supporters, but at the same time, some probably were. So needless to say, we’ll just have to see what happens there. The biggest thing to this are these points to remember:

(1) All candidates agree that delegates/votes in FL/MI won’t count.

(2) Clinton starts slipping and starts fumbling for some numbers and looks to FL/MI.

(3) Clinton calls for full acknowledgement of FL/MI “at all costs.”

(4) Clinton rejects option that everyone else agrees on but her.

Yes, I know that was a biased shot. So sue me, you were warned back on my first post on the Democratic primaries that I’m an Obama supporter.

There’s really nothing else that can be said about tonight. Its expected to be a 64-36 type of victory for Clinton tonight, but it doesn’t change the math all too much. There’s still about a 200 delegate lead by Obama, with him being about 120ish from the nomination/magic number.

We’ll just let the polls happen, and remember my important dates, as I said them earlier, with some new notes:

1) May 21th: Next Wednesday I didn’t mention before, but at this point, Obama will have presumably clinched the majority of the pledged delegates and could assumedly claim the presumptive nominee status.

2) May 31st: Democratic National Committee meeting on Florida and Michigan. With the early plans being rejected by Clinton, this is starting to really get interesting.

3) June 4th: The final primaries would have been the night before. No more pledged delegates after this point, we’ll be hearing from superdelegates around then.

4) August 25th-28th: The Democratic National Convention, which will determine who the actual candidate/ticket is.

And there you have it. Enjoy!

Good morning, dear readers… Or afternoon, rather, seeing I’m sitting down a little later than normal for me today.

Mother’s Day weekend was fun. Sarah and I did breakfast with her mother up in Debary, and called her mother in Utah, and we called my mother over in Spring Hill. So all mothers were covered. It was a very nice day.

And then, this morning. We had some cleaning to do around the apartment, which was interesting to do. From there, I had class. The first day of classes of my last semester. The beginning of the end.

I found it sort of interesting, though. The class I went to this morning was one of the video streaming classes, so while we might be sitting there in class, there are hundreds of students registered and watching the recorded stream of the video online at their convenience. Needless to say, there were only 7 students in class. For me, this was a completely different sort of experience. I had taken a video streaming course last semester, but the seated lecture that was recorded coincided with one of my classes, so I never went. But to be one of only 7 people that this teacher was interacting with in person, and to know that over 300 other students were watching this, not knowing who was/wasn’t in the room? Just surreal.

That’s what technology does for people nowadays, I guess… Lets us be where we cannot, and sets up these weird sort of perpetuating placements where anyone can be anywhere watching anything at the time at their convenience. Heck, its like a DVR, but for school.

Had a good lunch with my friend Davi at the new Chinese place on campus where we shot the shit about politics and the fun stuff with some teachers that we’ve both had, and then here home, to work out some kinks with my iPod. I’ve been having issues with the scrobbling software I use, and I had switched applications, and hadn’t switched everything right. So looks like I’m slowly working on getting back listens that I used to have.

Small things in life keep it going around.

I saw this segment on Countdown with Keith Olbermann last week and I thought it was an nice little piece to share. So while everyone’s enjoying Mother’s Day out there, I thought that I’d give something that might pique the male interest. Behold, new Yankee stadium through the eyes of Keith Olbermann:

A cool little video of the new stadium, as seen by a private tour that he took…

I nearly forgot that I had responsibilities. All of this week, I found myself watching at least 5 hours of MSNBC a day. Sort of addicting, even if it is the same stories. But I like the personalities that the network has, so I put up with it.

And as they talked about Mother’s Day, I thought I’d throw a question to my audience once again, seeing tomorrow morning marks what I’ve heard is the 100th anniversary of celebrating it as a national holiday or something of that sort…

What are your plans for Mother’s Day?

For me? Well, I can’t talk about that until after the day. You know, in case one of my three mothers stumbles across my blog. Ah, the perks of having an amazing mother and two wonderful mother-in-laws…

While reading friend’s blogs the other day, I came across this gem talking about Disney and ticket prices. And it hit home a bit after Sarah’s and my anniversary trip last week.

On our trip, we went to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. That was pretty much the sole reason we went to Asheville. Sarah had read about their award winning wines and the estate looked beautiful, so she thought it’d be something fun to do. I agreed because, well, free wine tastings are always good.

So we get to Asheville around 1pm or so on the 29th and we stop at the ticket/information center. And that’s where our jaws dropped.

You see, to get onto the property, you have to buy a ticket. That doesn’t sound bad, until you see that the price for a ticket is $47. Per person.

Now, let’s think about this. You’re visiting a giant house with 43 bathrooms. There’s a beautiful garden nearby, some expensive, high-quality restaurants, and if you want an audio tour or one of their other tours there, they’re about $15 a person on top of the price you already paid for the tickets. Of course, you do get a complementary wine tasting, but still.

So for us to get in to see everything, we’d be paying about $94 and tax. Just to walk around a house and taste wine. Hell, if I wanted to do that, I’d stay at home and buy a lot more wine.

The woman working at the register–who was a trainee at the estate–saw our hesitation and that we were only interested in the winery really and then tells us that there’s a disabled ticket that we could buy for $32. Well, saving about $15 a ticket, eh, we’ll bite. The catch to the disabled ticket, though, is that you’re only allowed admission on the second and first floors of the house. While that might seem like its a lot, the house is four stories and a basement, so you’d be missing three stories of the house.

So we buy our disabled tickets, feeling like our assholes have just been violated, and we begrudgingly park and head towards the house. And when we get to the front door, that’s when I see the sign about no cameras or cell phones allowed in use inside. Great. So we might have just saved $30, but we now can’t take pictures of our visit. So much for making that money up in pictures.

Even still, once we were in the house, noone checked our ticket and saw the small print that said “disabled.” We got to see all five levels of the house, and saved 1/3rd of our ticket price. We did a few other things, took some pictures of the gardens, bought some wine, and just enjoyed ourselves before going out to a hibachi dinner at a local restaurant down the road.

But the point I wanted to get at is that we’re sitting here and charging so much for these attractions, and I understand that the money here goes to the restoration of the property, but maybe there should be a limit to things there. When we were there on property, we brought the average age drastically down. Most of the elderly folks on the property were staring at us, wondering what a couple of our age might have of interest at a property that was so hoity toity, so high strung. It was strange for them to see a couple who actually still had color to their hair and didn’t have a stroller with them.

Maybe, just maybe, we should let things be a bit more open. Maybe we should just lower some of these “entertainment/amusement” prices and let people enjoy them more rather than worry about their wallet or avoid them all together. I dunno, there’s really no way to think about it seeing its privately held or owned, just like the Biltmore, Disney, Hard Rock, Universal, Sea World, etc. But when you’re thinking about the admission costs, that high initial sunk cost with little to nothing to show for it just doesn’t feel right at a place like Biltmore. Sure, you get some more out of Disney/Universal/Sea World for rides, animals, and sight-seeing, but there are historical places like Biltmore that could be much better for the costs they have, or could reconsider their costs.

But the most fun we had for the least amount of money had to be hiking up to Anna Ruby Falls. For $2, we were able to park and walk up to enjoy that. And I got to take pictures.

Suck it, Biltmore.

I hadn’t mentioned it at all, but I’d like to share it now…

I got my grades back for the semester on Thursday when I came home from our vacation last week:

Introduction to International Business - A

Recruitment & Selection - A-

Training & Development - B

Business Ethics & Society - B

Compensation & Benefits - C+

As a whole? I’m very happy with that. It ends up making my semester GPA to 3.25, but doesn’t do much to my overall GPA, only bringing it up .049 to a 2.589. Why so low? That year as an accounting major, I didn’t really do better than D’s or F’s in most of my classes. That being said, it dented my 2.8 GPA a bit.

No use looking back, here’s looking to a great summer semester to cap off my collegiate under-grad career…

So for anyone who might have read my post yesterday about politics, I figured I’d follow it up with another one for people who are wondering what’s what.

First of all, let’s start at the beginning there.

Indiana - Clinton wins by 2% of the popular vote, roughly 20k votes
North Carolina - Obama wins by 14% of the popular vote, roughly 260k votes

So what does this mean? The key is this comes in a few things:

Popular Vote - Clinton has used this as a key argument. If you look at yesterday alone, she is down 240k votes from last night alone. Clinton has introduced the argument of including Florida and Michigan’s popular votes. The problem comes in with the fact that the caucus delegates don’t have a popular vote tied to them, so that would have to be projected and guessed. And caucuses are a discussion for another time.
Electoral Vote - As I didn’t mention yesterday, Obama was the presumptive front-runner. Depending on which news source you go to for your counts, the superdelegates electoral count shows Clinton in the lead by about 15 or so and the pledged delegates are in Obama’s favor by about 160. When you add all of that together, Obama’s about 145ish or so in the lead and at a point where he’s just under 200 delegates from the nomination point. Clinton is under 400 back from that point.
States Won - By my rough count, Obama’s won 29 states to Clinton’s 16. If I’m off, don’t shoot me. I didn’t include Guam, Virgin Islands, Americans Abroad, and other such votes, but the key to this metric is the concept of “what are states worth.” Clinton has the argument that some of the states that Obama has won are historically not Democrat won states in the election and that she won the “important states” (Texas, NY, California, etc). Then there’s talk of swing states, small states, Florida and Michigan, and it sounds like 2000 all over again.
Florida and Michigan - Just see my comment on that yesterday.

So what does that mean today? Today, there are a lot of news items to listen for.

1) “50 State Plan” - While it might seem that because Obama has this lead in electoral delegates and popular vote and states won, it would seem that superdelegates would just start flocking to him. I heard Massachusetts Democratic Party Supervisor Deborah Kozikowski talking about this point this morning. The key to this is that most superdelegates will be waiting till after all states have cast their vote and the FL/MI ordeal has been resolved. So June 4th, as I said yesterday.

2) Clinton’s Self Loan - Apparently in April, Clinton gave herself $6.4 million for her campaign. Add this to the $5 million from the other month and that’s a total of $11.4 million (hooray basic math!). That being the case, the money trail goes to Bill’s book tours and speaking engagements. Last time this was the case that she loaned herself money, donors paid her back because of all of her victories. Howard Wolfson, a chief communication officer/strategist for Clinton, has said that she’ll loan herself more money as necessary. Watch her money and you’ll see what the future will hold for her campaign.

3) Defecting Big-Wigs - While I link specifically the McGovern unendorsement of Clinton and reendorsement of Obama, because of the results from last night, he might not be the only person with a big name you hear moving one way or another. I say it like that to be non-discriminatory, but you’ll hear more of them leaving Clinton and heading to Obama. In this case, McGovern isn’t a superdelegate, but you might hear the same with some of the superdelegates, which of course will change the electoral vote counts slightly.

4) Pundits Calling It - Last night begun this, and it’ll continue on. From the ones that I’ve heard of, Tim Russert was one of the first people to declare Obama the presumptive candidate. Others that I’ve seen on the list have included union leaders too. So just start listening to what is said by who. While the remaining states are probably pretty set in their voting ways in the way they look, well if there’s a shift in the way they’re “expected,” who knows.

5) The Convention Committees - I mentioned this yesterday, but we’re just going to have to wait. If there’s some issue with the May 31st meeting, there’s another meeting scheduled for June sometime for the FL/MI votes. This is just something to keep in mind and see what happens.

And I think that about sums up everything from last night. Its one of those things that we’re sort of “right back to where we started,” but because of the margin of victories, well, it makes it a bit clearer for Obama. The key, though, is whether its Obama or Clinton? In my mind, it just needs to be a Democrat in the White House. But my anti-McCain rant is for another time…

I’ve been talking to a friend of mine online and I explained everything succinctly to her in the span of about half an hour, and I think maybe there’s so much to this primary that people aren’t really understanding, so maybe a quick run down in my own words might help some folks understand this a little better as I half watch more pundits on MSNBC.

First of all, I’ll acknowledge a few things…

1) I’m no expert at this crap. I just watch at least an hour of MSNBC a day, sometimes more, so I’m just a bit more intelligent of a parrot.

2) I’m a liberal Democrat and I do support Obama, and I make this bias known and acknowledge it. I’m trying to be unbiased in this as I present what’s below, but understand that when I mention Clinton/Obama below? I’m not trying to slam one candidate or another.

3) This by no means is a definitive guide. I think its a good start to help explain it a little better… Or I hope…

So, let’s begin.

Delegates and superdelegates are the first big issue. Delegate numbers are assigned to the state. Then, the popular vote is figured out in the state (caucus or primary, we can explain those later). Delegates are then awarded proportionately to each person based on the popular vote. These delegates as people are then determined by the democratic parties and each candidate’s groups. These are the pledged delegates. These delegates are folks who are usually so set in their candidates that you’re not going to move them.

Now, what about the superdelegates? These are folks who are party elders, Democrats in Congress, Governors, former Presidents, and other party leaders. They don’t have to vote the way that their constituents vote or the way that their state votes as a whole (because you could have constituents in a county vote one way and the state as a whole another, of course). These folks vote the way that they want and the way that they feel best. Sometimes its for political reasons, sometimes its because they believe in the candidate. You can decide as a whole how you think it really is.

And the question this go round that Clinton has raised is how should these superdelegates vote? Clinton has said that they should vote based off of the leader of popular vote. the “must-win states,” or their conscience of who’s “electable.” Obama has said that they should consider the will of their delegates or the will of the people as a whole. And if I got that part wrong, well, the honest truth is this: the superdelegates vote as they think is best. And also to remember, just because they endorse a candidate now doesn’t mean they’ll vote for them at the final vote at the convention. It means they should, but still.

Next up, what happened with Florida and Michigan? There’s a long answer that you could read into, but here’s a good simplified version of it all. Iowa and New Hampshire always have the first two primaries and the early ones. There’s a lot of money for any state that moves their primaries up. The schedule was set for all states and they were told that if they moved up their primaries, they would face penalties from the Democratic National Committee. This was something agreed on by both parties and signed upon by all of the candidates. All of the candidates signed a “no-campaign” sheet, acknowledging that these two states would not be seated at the convention. At the same time too, Obama was not on the Michigan ballot. So, when the folks did vote in Florida and Michigan, Clinton won both states. Now, in the aftermath of everything, Clinton is trying to move for these two states to be seated to boost her numbers. Please understand that this is an argument for completely later…

Now, moving on… why are North Carolina and Indiana so important? After today, the majority of the delegates to be awarded come from that superdelegate number. Also, today the largest number of delegates for any one day remaining are divided out: 187 (72 for Indiana and 115 for North Carolina). There are three outcomes of tonight and here’s how they all read politically:

1) Obama wins both: If this happens, the appeal could be made that he’s won the most contests, the most delegates, and is ready for the nomination. It almost completely seals the delegate math against Clinton and makes it hard for her to really claim to have much of a continued stake in the race. This would probably have more superdelegates would declaring their support for Obama within the next week or two.

2) Clinton wins both: If this happens, Clinton has struck back strong and it shows that the electorate is wavering. It shows that people aren’t set fully behind Obama and that they might be having second thoughts, and that Pennsylvania strengthened her campaign. With this result, superdelegates might start coming out for Clinton, but more than likely might be quiet through till about June 4th.

3) Each candidate wins one: This is probably the most likely result from tonight with Clinton winning Indiana and Obama winning North Carolina. If this happens, the Democratic race remains the way its sitting and noone really advances in the superdelegates’ eyes. And then we just have to see.

Two things to remember with that: (1) Even in winning a state, if Obama or Clinton wins by a 55%-45% on the popular vote, they’ll only get that 55% of the delegates; (2) After today there are more superdelegates that are undeclared than pledged delegates that could be awarded to either campaign in the upcoming states (West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana, and South Dakota). That means that in those states coming up, there won’t be as much “concern” as we’ve seen in the past. We’ll still see it, but most of the campaigning will be calls to superdelegates. Just keep both of those in mind, and I hope I didn’t lose you on it.

And if you’re still with me? Okay, the last really big thing comes with the important Democratic Primary dates ahead:

1) May 31st: On this day, the Democratic National Committee meets to see how to deal with Florida and Michigan. The outcomes on this day will be interesting. There probably will not be a solution that both candidates will be happy with, but we will just have to see.

2) June 4th: On this day, we would have had the last primaries the day before and there’ll be no more pledged delegates to be awarded (pending the DNC decision on Florida and Michigan). There should be a lot more superdelegates endorsing then and as a whole, there should be a presumptive candidate. That presumes, of course, that there was resolution on May 31st to Michigan and Florida.

3) August 25th-28th: The Democratic National Convention, which will determine who the actual candidate/ticket is.

And I hope that clears things up. When you turn on the news and you hear dates, candidates, delegates, superdelegates, Rev. Wright, gas tax holidays, Florida, Michigan, “elite,” and tons of other of the buzzwords, its sort of hard to sort things out for one side or the other.

Anyways, let me know if that helps, and if it does, please feel free to pass it along to others. It’ll help you read the paper and understand a little more for the water cooler in the morning, I’d imagine. And if not? Feel free to ask…

And folks who know me know that I’m usually on top of things musically. And here’s why. Yup, every week, I check that site, just to see what new albums might be coming out and I’ll google artists and see what’s what with them. Sarah came to my computer the other day and actually asked me “What the hell is Hercules and Love Affair and why were you searching for it?” I had to explain to her that it was a band name I saw and that because it was dance music, I wasn’t interested. That made for an interesting conversation.

So, I have a sad confession to make. I also find new music from The Hills. Shoot me now. Seriously. Sarah likes to watch it, and because of that, I’ll usually watch with her. I mean, heck, she watches Countdown with Keith Olbermann with me, so I can at least return the favor for half the amount of time. But what I do like that MTV has been doing on that show and other shows is that they (1) pop up the artist name/song name during the episode while it plays and (2) post all of the artists and songs names on their website after/during the show.

Oh, and even though I don’t like the show? Spencer sucks. Well, they all suck, but especially Spencer…

Never ever is easy. While I wasn’t as unfortunate as my lovely wife was to have to return to work, I still have a good long list of stuff to do. Between cleaning things up around our apartment, laundry, and pre-career fair research? Yeah. My list is full…

Before really getting down to things, I’ve been watching the news. I just hit pause at about 8:20 on MSNBC and I took care of some internet stuffs with e-mail, banks, social networking sites, all that fun jazz, and came back to it. And at that point? I’m about an hour behind. As I speak now around 11am, the time on the ticker is about 50 minutes back, so I can fast-forward the commercials, skip sections I don’t want to hear, and all of that fun jazz. Its honestly the best way to get the news in full each morning, and now that Sarah and I are getting up earlier, I get about an hour of my Morning Joe too. Love that show when I have a chance to watch it.

I’ve got a lot of built up rants for when I really start writing this week, but I’d better stop procrastinating on my cleaning now and get that done so I can really enjoy my break before classes start next monday…

For this Sunday’s Sunday Share, I thought I’d share a link of where Sarah and I stayed this past week in Helen, Georgia.

Lucille’s Mountain Top Inn

I don’t have too much to say with this one other than the link because it speaks for itself, but I can say that we love staying in Room 4. Faces east and the sun hits your room when it rises, helping you get up for the amazing breakfast they have ready downstairs. If you’re ever on trips and can spring for bed & breakfasts? I can tell you that of all of Sarah’s and my experiences with B&B’s, we always compare it to this one because of the amazing hospitality, rooms, and desserts/breakfasts. Just can’t top it.

And with that last “small filler,” I’ll be back on Monday with a good update…

The thing about vacations is even when you get back? You’ve got that “jet-lag” where you still want to be on vacation. But now, you need to get food for your place, spend time with your animals, clean off the DVR (which we put a small dent in yesterday) and get ready for work and other mundanes of life from before you left…

I’ll be back with a Sunday Share tomorrow, but I wanted to get in a filler today… I’ve had too many of those recently…

Thanks for stopping by, folks! My name is Adam J. Cohen, and I'm a guitarist/songwriter in Champaign, IL, recently relocated from Orlando, FL where I'm a UCF grad. Here, you'll find vignettes on my life, setlists from open mics and reviews, and whatever else crosses my mind. Enjoy!
