Yes yes, I know, there is absolutely no obvious correlation within the subject line, but does that really matter?! What matters is that it is Thursday night, the Halloween Eve, you are all sitting at your computers or in front of the tube, or listening to music (my choice) or eating...wait, that is my choice too! Ok, I will accept if you are watching "30 Rock" right now, because you will learn some VERY INTERESTING things from each and every episode...and as you know I would vote "Tina Fey For President" if in fact it was an option. I digress. I always do. :D What I really wanted to say was, today is Thursday, October 30th. Kassidy's birthday by the way. SO, that means we have Firday, Oct. 31st, Saturday, Nov. 1st, Sunday the 2nd. Oh yeah, then we have Monday, November 3rd, then.....dum da da dummmmmmm! TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4TH 2008!!!!! Last chance. Last ditch effort. Last breath. Let me leave you with a brilliant quote from the miniseries "John Adams", it is President Adams' final words...don't know if he said this in actuality or not, or if it was the screenwriter's dialogue, and quite honestly I don't care. Because, you know what?! He would have said this...let it nail your conscience to a wall, let it appeal to your "inner-flag-waver", but show up if you haven't already and make your mark on our future. Ooooooh, I have a good idea, video tape it! I will, unless video cameras aren't allowed. But I will try. I am flying in from out of the country just so I can Vote. (notice I capitalize the word "Vote") Ok so picture former President John Adams, on his deathbed on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration Of Independence, July 4th... Brilliant cinematography. This was the voiceover:
"Now, posterity. You will never know how much it cost us to preserve your freedom. I hope that you will make a good use of it, and if you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I took half the pains to preserve it."
We are a bunch of lucky people. Really REALLY fortunate. Get out there and show some respect...
Damn, I wish I would have paid more attention in history class! I am just making up for lost time....
I am only halfway through this book, but I am certain it will become a classic, for our generation. If only the movie version doesn't ruin it for us all!
Well, thank you all for inspiring us, and responding. Isn't it amazing how much commonality we have, but at the same time how much dissonance? It truly is amazing. I am SO not going to share my political views here in this forum, and I don't think you guys would want me to. You are way too smart for that. I do however, want to thank you for responding. It was SOOOOO much fun reading them all, and I did read them all. Intelligent people, You are, and we appreciate Your insight.
OK, so NOW we are coming down to the barest of bare bones, the scraping of vinyl covering off of the copper wire...November is just around the corner.
Get your stuff together, get down on your knees and pray to your own God and ask for direction. Use the tools God gave you to make intelligent decisions, then walk your little ol' selves down to the voting booth and make a difference.
I don't mean to be preachy, I am being serious. I still remember the first time I was old enough to vote, and I remember the pressure I felt from family and religion, not to mention vocation. I cried and cried, and I remember making the wrong choice. The wrong choice for me that is. Like I said, drop to your knees, and ask what the right choice is FOR YOU. I didn't do that, but today, right now, I will. We are in great need of direction from a Greater Power, from the Universe. You will sleep better at night knowing you DIDN'T make your decision based on CNN, or FOX or MSNBC, or or ABC or CBS or NBC or MTV or CMT or GAC and every other acronym (ok now I am getting crazy) and that is all you need to know. OK, maybe you need to know a few more things in life, but this is my little tiny bit of "sharing" for the day.
I am sick and tired of the anger, and the fighting, the facades, the rhetoric, and the bullshit. I figure, God knows what I should do.
Seriously, if anyone is watching this right now, and you are drinkers, you should be taking a swig every single time you hear "Gwen" rather than "Maverick"! You'd be ploooooooooooooooowed right now! Keep watching folks...

On top of old Smokey...I feel the earth move under my feet...
I had one of the weirdest days ever yesterday! Like, "What The Bleep Do We Know" kind of weird. So, first of all, whilst in Los Angeles finishing the record, I opted to swing by my favorite hair stylist's salon for a touch up (shocking I know, that perhaps I am not ACTUALLY as blonde as I may appear) before I hit the studio. SO, somewhere between the thumping of the sound system playing all my fav George Michael tunes, and the buzz of the blow dryers, I heard a rumble so prominent that is sounded like it came from the bottom of a very hungry Jolly Green Giant's stomach. Come to think of it, it FELT like I was in the bottom of a giant stomach, with the rolling movement of the floor beneath me. Kinda like what would be happening if the giant was mid digestion. I digress. Who'd a thunk it?! Seriously, I had my first California earthquake! 5.4 to be exact, and here's the REALLY terrifying thing....it was kind of cool! I was also here during the riots...I guess I am like a three legged dog named Lucky. So there I was, with my Roberto, his assistant Chris, and a whole lot of bleach and hot hair tools, and we were having the time of our lives during the earthquake. I think I need to have my head checked, well actually I just did! Had an MRI a few days ago. TMI. It's interesting....within 5 minutes following the earthquake, it was business as usual, people scurrying about, going on with their daily responsibilities, like instead of just experiencing an earthquake, we'd just experienced a delicate Spring shower...whimsical almost, but a bit forgettable...for everyone except us out-of-towners who couldn't stop talking about it. Then back to the studio I went, for another action packed day of stress. I am growing accustomed to this process, although I am not fond of it. This record is an enormous responsibility, my only hope is that I don't let anyone down, hence the stress. Maybe we should call this record "I AM SO FREAKING GRATEFUL TO HAVE THIS FINISHED" and stick a fork in it. Good thing I love what I do, because it would absolutely suck if I didn't. So I got back to the studio, and immediately needed to stick my head in a brown paper bag and take my blood pressure, so I was sitting in the stairwell at this legendary studio we've been working in-gazing at all the gold and platinum records adorning the walls (hello! Rumors was recorded here, as well as Aja) and this guy comes sauntering up the stairs right past where I was hyperventilating, and he said "hello" and smiled, and then went into the room next to me. Now, if I could say that this man was George Clooney I would be ECSTATIC but alas it wasn't. Even cooler, it was Smokey Robinson! I mean, I was like, "where in the hell am I?!" It just hit me right upside of the head, I have a pretty spectacular job. I went through the laundry list of people we've gotten to meet, places we've seen, food we've tasted, stories we've been told, songs we've birthed....and if being named "Lucky" the three legged dog is my lot, well, I will take it!
So, weirdest day ever. Smokey and an earthquake, all in the same afternoon. Not bad.
So, from your other comments, it sounds like you all don't think you can appropriately submit album title ideas without hearing all of the music, huh? OK...I will attach it to the end of this blog...:D
Share the SHeLOVE! (I haven't said that in fooooooooreeeeeeever)
No reason for the subject line, other than it is one of the new song titles...I have songs on the brain.
So...the world is collapsing around us! Do you all have your "two year supply of food storage"?! Seriously...Tricia Walsh-Smith is dominating Youtube, further thwarting the cause for creating gender equality, Batman got arrested, gas prices increase as our libidos decrease, hence the freakin' irritating infomercials about EXTENZE or whatever the heck it is..Whew...aaaaaand...I am tired out...how about you all? What a weird few weeks, and I have come to believe that "weird" is infinitely more stimulating than predictable. Anyway, the good news is, that the girls and I are knee deep in finishing this record, and maybe we will finally be able to get back to normal. But wait, what IS that?! Oooh, actually a terrifying thought. So, does anyone have a good idea for an album title? I am stumped. Kelsi and Kassidy are stumped, our parents on the other hand, have completely ridiculous ideas, so if anyone has a suggestion that might cancel out our parents, it would be appreciated...otherwise, the new record may be titled "Popcorn Popping On The Apricot Tree" or "Crowded Mirror" or even "Kream"...don't ask. Our mom enjoys the creative "K" stuff. If she'd had her way, SHeDAISY would have been called Kaleidoscope. Or Kontrails (typically spelled with a "c" and sounds a lot like entrails which is pretty disgusting) It has been a day filled with exciting meetings; prospects, optimism, anticipation...and for me as I now at the end of the day sit on my couch (the one you guys know that I looooooooooooooooove more than anything, more than pizza or more than Grant Hill, more than Kathy Griffin...and that is a lot of love kids) I am attempting to decompress. Watching Glenn Beck is NOT the best option for cleansing the mind, is it?! I think I need to unthink. SO, that being said, I really don't think the world is collapsing around us...I was just bored and it sounded like a good opening blog line. But we are excited about the music. It is hard not to share, maybe we will have to sneak a peek on here sometime. SO, like I said before, anyone have any brilliant ideas about an album title?

btw, has anyone been able to do the research regarding the new breed of eagle that has such limited wing span the the aerodynamics of their physicality actually prevents them from being able to propel themselves through the air? We have been waiting patiently. Love us some Patchers!
