I heard this song on the classic rock station the other day and had to look it up. I thought it was kind of funny talking about “cutting my hair”. I guess back then it was kind of a big deal for guys to have long hair around corporate or conservative type folks. I like it also because it talks about being down “in that sunny southern weather”. I live in Florida and it has been MISERABLE lately. Temperatures in the 100 degree range and humidity that could suffocate a cow!

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It’s gettin’ kind of long
I could’ve said it was in my way

But I didn’t and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it, yeah … to someone

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I’m not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car

Well I’m not giving in an inch to fear
You know I’ve promised myself this year
Well, I feel like I owe it, I owe it to someone
Oh … like I owe it to someone

Instrumental (Electric Guitar)
Oh yeah when I get myself together
You can find me in that sunny southern weather, yeah

I’m goin’ to find a space inside to laugh,
Separate the wheat from the chaff
Oh, and I feel …
Like I owe it, yeah … to someone

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young : Almost Cut My Hair

Get the album at Amazon!

Have a great weekend, and remember… think twice, guys before you cut your hair! Whenever I decide to cut mine again I’m going to try and bring back The Mullet. :)

What a great time to be a geek! It seems that every time I turn around there is yet another reason the media gives us for being a geek. Napolean Dynamite took the world by storm. Now we have… Superbad, a coming-of-age cautionary tale about two socially inept teenage boys about to graduate high school. From what I could tell by the website and the trailer it’s about their fight to not be nerds and/or geeks anymore. They are about to leave for college and are bound and determined to leave on a superbad note! Watch the trailer below (click through to the site if you cannot see it).

You can also get your Superbad T-Shirts now! Be the first.

Sun Microsystems To Let More People Go
— Goldman Sachs predicted another restructuring at Sun last week amid the euphoria that a first look at Sun’s June numbers engendered with investors and, lo and behold, Sun Tuesday confided to the SEC that it’s anticipating throwing a unquantified number of its staff from ‘various geographies’ out on their collective keister the next few months and taking a $100 million to $150 million charge.

I just ran across a blog that posts funny and weird commercials, ads, road signs and anything else that the author, Kiwi, finds amusing. I really enjoyed this listing of Crazy Road Signs. Go see for yourself!
