WOW! i'm in love with riley armstrong, not even kidding... hahaha. but seriously, he is absolutely AMAZING! i'm listening to the cd right now (and have been for most of today) and i am just SO SO SO impressed. sigh. not only are the songs fantastic but he is an incredible live performer. SO GOOD! after his set we were all on such a high just from all the energy...

you can't talk about music. talking about music is like dancing about architecture.
well okay, fine. if you're gonna get all philosophical on me, it's just as pointless as talking about a lot of things. love, for instance.
definately. most definately, talking about love is like dancing about architecture.
so i don't know, he might be right. but it aint gonna stop me from trying.

so i like riley BUT i love rootbeer. especially on such a day as today. C always has all these "comfort foods" for when she's sick, or sad, or mad, etc. and i could never really think of any real comfort foods that i might have.... UNTIL NOW! i have found comfort and that comfort is in rootbeer. i love it so much, in fact, that i wrote a poem about it:

Ode to Rootbeer
there's nothing quite so fine
for soothing these pains of mine
whether i'm sick or sad, sleepy or mad
'it's just the ticket' to fix anything bad
when life doesn't seem at it's best
nothing ever fails the "rootbeer test"

when the load seems a little too heavy
one hero will always be ready
there's nothing better
when under the weather
for the "rootbeer test"
surely beats all the rest

oooooh rootbeer
you never fail me
oooooh rootbeer
for whatever ails me
oooooh rootbeer
you're smooth and sweet
oooooh rootbeer
you're my favorite treat

hey. i never claimed to be a poet... at least not a good one ;)
