Did You Guys See Scott Putesky’s Article in the Sentinel?

It’s a pretty interesting contemplative piece on his former bandmate Brian Warner and an autobiographical telling of some of his experiences in Marilyn Manson. Guess there’s some kind of Mayhem Festival happening today at the Cruzan in which the band is playing. Hmm. That’s weird. A festival on a Wednesday?

An Interesting Article on What Makes Some of Us Slugs

I think it’s too bad that so many of us, myself included, take our parents’ perspectives on how we live our lives too seriously. What follows are all kinds of unnecessary amendments to our own inclinations and half-hearted attempts at living out our interpretation of how they want for us to live our lives.

One of the memories that I find as jolting as I do funny is that of my mother opening my bedroom door, popping her head in and yelling, “slug!” when as a teenager and, admittedly, in the years following my graduation from college, I could not seem to rise on the dimmer side of noon. Because my mother has a Boston accent, this takes on a whole other level of humor…but that is something that can only be captured on a tape recorder. Anyway, I always love to find interesting little articles such as this guest column by Leon Kreitzman in The New York Times called “Larks, Owls and Hummingbird” that are like a pat on the back and permission to “pass go” for one such as myself whose circadian rythyms do not always agree — except of course in the case of field trips — with the world at large. Thanks for sending the article along, Sweet Bronco, you slug!

If linking to this article and sharing my own difficulties with being sometimes, often, our of synch with the rest of the human population makes you feel at all better about your own challenges, then I have done one good thing today.
