That hogweed is everywhere...

seriously, maybe it won't stop growing until everybody is burned. I wonder if you can burn off tattoos with the sap. Genesis did a song a long time ago called "The Return of the Giant Hogweed" and everytime I hear about it in the papers or on the news the song flashes in my head. (Sometimes it really sucks to have a brain like a radio station. Speaking of radio, Tom Petty's Last Dance with Mary Jane is currently on...) The amount scares me because my son is beginning to get to the curious age. There isn't any I can find on my property yet but they are everywhere along the main traffic artery near my place so it probably only is a matter of time.

Monday night. A rerun of the Big Bang Theory will probably be on. Which one could it be? Stay tuned to find out.

Mrs. Mattcaveman and I took the wee one up to the water park yesterday. The smiles he had, I think he enjoyed himself. Having tried some of the other rides, I am in no hurry for him to be big enough for the "big kid" rides. I may like to pretend to be an adventurer, but in real life I am more like the sage that cloisters away and does the research while the bigger, bolder people go out.

(Tears for Fears is playing now...Everybody does really want to rule the world, they're all just not obvious about it.)

80's music rocks. Here is my top 10 80's bands. Keep in mind that this is MY opinion, and that some may cross into other decades, but all of them were active at one point during the 80's.

10 - ZZ Top - All you have to do is listen to some of those licks and your hooked.

9 - LA Guns - great hairband; probably my favourite at one time. Sleazy, cheesy and great.

8 - OMD - for one song, but a cheesy sentinmental one.

7 - Dokken - Hair band number 2, but George Lynch guitar playing still blows me away.

6- Motley Crue - HB Number 3, but a great listen for a party on a Monday Night.

5 - The Cars - great stand up rock and roll.

4 - The Go-go's - catchy tunes, and chicks to boot.

3- Poison - still can't stop listening to them

2- GNR - the classic line-up and first album hands down is only beaten by...(and people will be surprise, unless you really know me of course...)

1- Duran Duran, this band is so underrated. Their music is more subtle than people recognize as they see them as a fluff MTV band, but the lyrics are well crafted, and CD's and MP3's have revealed more interesting low sounds in the mix that cassette tapes and video analog did not show. In the last six months alone, I have gained a greater respect for the album Seven and the Ragged Tiger, and if you are a fan of just listening to music. give it a whirl. It's only 40 minutes out of your life (only 9 tracks), and you'll probably recognize a couple of the songs. This particular album has a bit of a Moody Blues feel (since the band allegedly was experimenting with drugs at the time of the recording of this album, that wouldn't be a surprise...)

I like popular rock music more than maybe I let on, but I can't think of a better thing for background (except maybe Radio Rivendell grin) than pop music (no hip-hop in my dungeon allowed! Except maybe Fergilious. If she performs it in person, and avoids singing "My Humps", and brings Fly Girls. Jennifer Lopez started as a Fly Girl.)

("Fly Girls" make me thing of that bad commercial from that guy in Toronto ho calls himself the Cashman. He's no Harold the Jewelry Buyer, though. Seriously, doesn't Omni overplay their commercials just a little. It's like Global during the Superbowl.)

My girl cat won't shut up right now. I think she wants love, so I'll get back to you soon.
