odds and ratios

so i did my taxes this week...

whilst reflecting on the amount of money i spent trying to become modestly famous compared to the amount of money actually made i thought of two quotes that i want to share:

-there are, literally, hundreds of dollars to be made over dozens of years in the music business.

-the income tax has made more liars out of the american people than golf has.
-will rogers


in other news, i saw a friend of mine, jeremy lister, play at 3rd & lindsley last nite. i'm not claiming bias here because i have loads of friends who i think can't play for crap. jeremy is fantastic. please check his music out. you will not be disappointed. in other, other news, there was a band that played a few songs before jeremy that was made up of a dale earnhardt jr lookalike, a hobbit, and a truck driver. the hobbit scat rapped and played at his guitar, dale jr played bass and the truck driver played the bongos. i'm not making this up. they were not fantastic. it was 15 minutes of my life that i sorely wish i could have back. i'm quite certain that they'll have a record deal soon and will be all over tv...

have fun today paying the man for services not rendered.
