Wake Me Up When September Ends

It's the second time I've used this title for a blog post. Why? Because it's that time of the year again.

Today's my late father's birthday. He would've been 74 today. It's been three years but I still miss him terribly! (sigh!)

Anyway, whenever anything that has even the remotest connection to my dad's passing comes to my attention, Green Day's "Wake Me Up When Septmeber Ends" starts playing in my head. It was the song I'd always hear on the radio during trips between home and the hospital, and even up to the time of my dad's funeral.

Happy Birthday, Dad. Wherever you are, I know you know that we all still miss you a lot.

So, in honor of my dad's birthday, here's Green Day with "that song".

Back For A Smash

Geez, it's been around a month since my last post. If anybody's been following this site, I'm really really sorry. I've been having a hard time finding time to sit down and kill time! A frickin' day job can really harsh your mellow!

Anyways, I'm still really tied down here. But I really wanna share this video from a little-known-but-totally-awesome act from the 80's: Smash Palace's drumroll-flavored "Living On The Borderline" taken from the band's 1985 eponymous album. Listen and enjoy!
