Smell Like Team Spirit...

The baby from the Nirvana album cover is 17.

That's the story of Spencer Elden, whom you may know as the little baby floating towards a dollar bill on the cover of Nirvana's 1991 album, Nevermind.

Nearly 17 years later, amid hating school and playing water polo, Elden is still struggling to make sense of his (very) public image.

"Quite a few people in the world have seen my penis," he says from his home in Los Angeles. "So that's kinda cool. I'm just a normal kid living it up and doing the best I can while I'm here."

--Damn, I'm old.

My Left Hand

So yesterday I was working in the back yard and managed to slam by hand in the garden shed door. I did not break anything but dammit it hurts.

This isn't a whine fest (well, maybe a little) it's about my left hand.

It is my knuckle on my index finger. But what it does is limits the use of my left hand. I cannot so much as hold an empty coffee mug. I never realized how much I use my left hand. I could not even squeeze my tooth paste tube.

--The worse part is that I am going camping this Friday!

Whats Amusing Me Today?

Youtube is!!



--Cracking me up.

Meet Your New Overlord...

He has his little wheel barrow.

--He has come for your soul...

Happy 4th of July!!

Fires, Stories and Ghosts...

I went camping this weekend with old friends. It's tradition that I spend an hour, around the fire, telling "Absolutely True Stories".

I love doing it.

The audience is getting older and more jaded. I will need new material for next year if I want to send those kids to bed crying.

There are classics I tell every year:

- The Shadow Man
- Room for One More
- The Hitchhikers Shoe
- The Golden Arm
- Silent Lightening (new for 08!)
- Lizzy Borden
- The Missing Boyfriend

I need new material. Email me damn you...
