satisfy your needs with just one stop

Life is full of people who try tell you what you are, who you can be, and what you should do. This is especially true when you purposefully stray from the pack or stick the triangular piece in the round hole, just to see what would happen. Someone is always there to remind you that you're doing it wrong, only because you're not doing it the way they would like, not because there's only one way it can be done. It can sometimes be a challenge to stay the course you've set for yourself. When you show your resolve and refuse to back-down, you're written-off as having nothing to offer. I savor these moments, in fact, I frame them and hang them on my wall.




That's not my biggest challenge, though. Oh no, dear reader. That shit's a walk in the park. You know what's a challenge?

Morty called me last week. It seems that Howie was willing to have me back as the official spokesperson, provided I would agree to do a series of television spots for his shop. No big deal... I thought. I gave Morty the go ahead to sign the contract and on Monday I flew to Austin for the recording session. I was thinking there'd be some lame script which I'd fight with the director over and win their hearts with improv takes that would make the final edit.

No one told me I was going to have to sing. With a full band. And a backing group. I'm an entertainer but I'm not a song and dance man, that's for damn sure. So, unless this gets sucked into the void left by lacombe's unexpected exit from LJ Idol - submitted for your amusement:
