This says it all!

Got this picture from Jonathan -- rocknrollallniteand partyeveryday!

test post

I've heard that blogger's photo uploading ain't workin', so I'm testing it.

Discuss!

Ok all,

I've not posted in a long time. I wanted to come up with a list of paradoxical beliefs that I hold, but I realize that hold very few beliefs other than that Kiss should be in the Rocknroll Hall of Fame and that maybe there shouldn't be a Rocknroll Hall of Fame -- is that a paradox or just a stupid contradiction on my part?

I also believe that people who talk all the time about their babies are potentially annoying and that I'm one of those people.

OK, but here's the real one: I'd rather imitate Ace Frehley than actually BE Dave Matthews, a successful novelist, seven feet tall, or a member of congress.

What does this mean? Discuss....

Disturbing Similarity to Goya's Saturn, or I Have a Tremendous Mouth

Hi All,

Here is a recent picture of me with my little girl. I thought it was rather amusing and charming and such. It also reveals the enormity of my maw.

However, upon reflection, I have found this photo a tad unsettling. It reminded me of a painting I'd seen and been struck by in a book on Romantic art years ago. I'm sure it's familiar to many of you; it's Goya's Saturn Devouring His Children (seen above right).

Now, I have no fears that Daisy or any others among my offspring (of which there are none) will displace me as ruler of the gods and the whole universe (I'm quite secure in that position, thank you). But I fear that if Daisy ever happens upon Goya's classic painting, she may think back on this photo from her infancy. Such a mental connection could result in all kinds of inaccurate retrospection on the cruelty of her father! Therefore, I'm nipping this thing in the bud, putting both images forth here to confront any seeming similarity or continuity head on. If, in contrast, Daisy made this connection on her own she would perhaps be more inclined to view the parallel as somehow deliberately concealed from her due to its containing some element of truth.
