The Pelican’s Perch

Oh snap!  Can not wait…

Michelle, my beautiful girlfriend, finally moved on to bigger and better things today, leaving for Annapolis, Maryland pursuing that next step in her career that I stood behind 100%.  It’s an understatement saying it was hard to let her go, since she’d been my best friend for the last nine months, but we both had [...]

Bowerbirds have always been a band I kept around for occasions exactly like today.  Lazy, summer days when I’m just relaxing around the house doing nothing.  It’s perfect music for times when you just want something to accompany you as you read your next favorite book, lounge around the pool, or drift off to sleep.  [...]

How was everyone’s 4th of July?  Mine was pretty busy with work and whatnot, hence going a week without posting, but this week shouldn’t be near as busy.  Here’s a pretty neat music video for Harlem Shakes’ new song “Strictly Game”.  It’s a unique concept that I didn’t notice at first, but basically it appears [...]
