Twinkle Twinkle

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky

Here is a song I put together using Garage Band. It is Numb by Linkin Park.

So Many Lessons

The word of the day is arbitrage. An arbitrageur is someone who seeks out arbitrage, a risk-free profit. In finance, that is called a "free lunch". In the fair market we say there is no arbitrage. The stock market is not fair.

But I digress... classes are over. Grades will be on Spire by the 24th. And once I know my grades I will be selling my books :)

I had a funny dream last night. There was a little boy playing a song on the harmonica and someone was singing. I knew that I had written that song but hadn't actually written it down. I wish I could remember how it goes.

I'll try and say "How doth the little--
"' and she crossed her hands on her lap as if she were saying
lessons, and began to repeat it, but her voice sounded hoarse
and strange, and the words did not come the same as they used to
do:--

`How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

`How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spread his claws,
And welcome little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!'

`I'm sure those are not the right words,' said poor Alice, and
her eyes filled with tears again as she went on, `I must be Mabel
after all, and I shall have to go and live in that poky little
house, and have next to no toys to play with, and oh! ever so
many lessons to learn!

- Lewis Carroll. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

two little songs

Here are two little songs that can be played in Apple iTunes. They may sound a little clumsy because it's me and I am just practicing.

Here is a little video clip of me playing the guitar and singing, Hangin' Around. Enjoy!

And speaking of Counting Crows, Adam has recently posted on his blog. His postings have been few and far between. I was wondering why he hasn't written much lately. It was very exciting to see that he had written. The excitement went away quickly, as he is again bitter and resentful. He had this to say about some of his fans who post on the Counting Crows messge board:

It's not like you need to interested at all. It's just that you're such snotty little condescending assholes about your disinterest. Does every discussion have to turn into something where you all show off your high minded superiority to the the "dirty capitalist entertainment industry"? Don't you ever get tired of listening to yourselves? I know I do. And you wonder why I choose not to communicate with you lately. I wonder why anyone would.
