Tuesday May 20th - Nude Cycling

Today on The Mungleshow we talk about albums vs CD vs downloads. Is American Idol rigged? Public nudity, is America too uptight? Also, why are we still relying on foreign oil? With all the advances we have made in other areas can we really not develop a car that runs on anything but gas, and mass produce it! Or are we being lied to and fooled by big corporations and a worthless government?

For those who were around when vinyl was the audio king, do you miss them? Are there any that you kept? The Beatles White album, Zeppelin and Dylan. Any that you trashed that you wished you would have help on to?

Log your opinions below and lets talk about these things.

Listen to today's show.

Bike adventure

So yesterday we set out on a 60 miler. Weather was perfect. Clear blue skies
and very little wind. Our route was to go through south Irving and over to Arlington.
We ride over to The Ball Park and then continue South until we are on the back
side of Joe Pool. Then we ride up to the marina and take carrier all the way
back into Irving. Good route. Well, we are about 13 miles into the ride, peddling
hard up the frontage road of Hwy 360 in Arlington when I hear this phooosh!
Flat tire.Crap. Oh well no big deal. Grabbed a tube out of my bag and set in
to changing it.

 

It was then I noticed that my tire actually had a hole in it. Not good. But
I tried it anyway and sure enough when I pumped up the tube it pushed through
the hole in the tire and popped.

 

So my ride for the day was done. So Cindy had to double back and ride home
to get the truck and come pick me up. Luckily she rides incredibly fast so I
wasn't stuck too long. I just chilled outside on the benches at Schlotskies
until she made it back.

 

Last night I went to the bike shop and picked up a couple of new tires so I could ride today. So we will see if this ride turns out to be not as adventurous.

 

 

Cheater!!

Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut by someone I have never met. That is a scary feeling. Big risk. I have had the same chick a roo cut my air since, well, since she wacked off my 2 ft ponytail back in the late 90;s. But with my schedule I needed to find someone closer to me instead of trying to make the drive whenever I needed a cut. And sure, before when I got my hair cut once a year it was no big deal. But now that I am cycling I just cant stand it long any more. I like it better long, but I don’t like it, if that makes sense. Short hair is easier to deal with when you ride your bike to work. Trust me. So that said I am getting it cut a lot more regular.

It is a shame to because I dig Steph and she is good at what she does. Plus, it feels like I am cheating on her for some reason. Why is there that loyalty to hairdressers? I dont feel this way when I grocery shop or go to the bank. Or get my oil changed! Well the cars, not mine. Crazy.

So we will see what happens tomorrow. And after all it is just hair right? It all grows back. And when it does, I can always go back and beg Steph for forgiveness.

So I just finished Duma Key. The 609 page novel by Stephen King. 609 pages. Is this guy a machine? What amazed me more than the fact that he can come up with the story he does is how he keeps track of it! Like everyone in the industry I am writing a book as well. Fiction of course. Who cares about the facts? So I am 35,000 words in which isn't too bad. 80,000 is the goal of most first timers so I am almost half way there. But even at 35,000 words I have a hard time remembering times lines and what I had the characters do and say back on page 100. Then trying to tie it all together. I can't imagine how King does it with 600 pages and woven plot lines. I guess that is why he is Stephen King.

Plus I can't type which honestly makes it harder to write. By the time my fingers have figured out where to go my brain has moved on to another thought. In fact in that last sentence I typed, I hit the back space like 20 times. It is very sad. (3 times for that short sentense)

The AFI Film festival was this week in Dallas and I had a chance to grab a few cool interviews along the way. I think my favorite was with Sam Rockwell. One of my favorite actors. He has a new film out called Snow Angels with Kate Beckinsale. You should check it out but make sure you are current on your meds first. This film is as depressing as it is grand.

Well, that is all I have for now.

So what are you reading?

yup, I said it.
