Whoa!

Just a quick little note here guys.

I've been getting a lot of e-mails lately asking various questions about the behind-the-scenes going on here at Over-Analyzed. First off, thanks so much for all the interest and support - really makes me feel great. Second, I honestly do try to answer each and every e-mail, but with my crazy schedule, sometimes it gets a bit hard. So my promise to you - I will do my very best to get back to you if you shoot over an e-mail, but if I don't get back to you, it's just because I'm totally swamped over here!

Thanks for understanding guys.

Hopes Dreams and Reebok

Bought a little cabbie hat action this weekend. Meaning to do that for some time. I think I would like to make it one of my eccentricities when I'm older, just to have a ton of hats that I wear around all the time no matter what.

Another thing I would like is to be sponsored. Just getting money for wearing some shoes or eating a certain brand of potato chip in public, that seems like it would be a fun way to earn cash.
That scene from Wayne's World is about right - just to be lounging in a full Reebok track suit eating Doritos and drinking Pepsi and receiving income based on those actions. Real American Dream.

Let's see. Other things. Spending significant amounts of time in the American southwest. New Mexico beckons. Chronic dry skin says keep it to vacations, but some part of me says go there forever. Who knows what will happen, but I might as well start with some vacations from time to time.

Guys, how interesting is it to hear about what I would like to happen to me without necessarily working toward it? I'm worried that it's too interesting, and as such I think I should stop writing. Modern life only allows for so much interest in a given day - more important things than thought abound.

Whoops, this post sucks!

Episode 1 of Season 2 of the Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! is up and you should watch it.

BREAKING NEWS
Thanksgiving is on Thursday. Did you know that eating is the main purpose of Thanksgiving, which makes it more directly applicable to human survival than almost any other holiday?

I think I had a thought to write about at some point, but it is gone now. That thought is gone forever.

This post is a horrible failure. Closing down production pending further ideas.

The sound of two hands clapping, like in an old 50's song.

All in all it was a pretty great weekend. The Ween concert I mentioned before was great, even if the crowd were a bunch of a-holes. They make me envious.

The Douggie storyline is coming along nicely. At least, me and Zack really like the idea. Dunno bout the rest of the band. But I'm pretty sure the base of the thing will be done before anyone can complain. First song's basically done, third song is moving right along, and I'm forming up ideas for 2 and 4. A simple but powerful tale of two orphans who separate and reunite for literally no other reason but that's what happens in movies.

BLECH! UOAHHHOUUUH! ZOUNDS!

BLBLBLBLBLBLBL! OGOGOGOGOGOGOGOG!

Writ...

Many great things.

1. I guess the writer's block lifted. After work I wrote "The Ballad of Little Douggie Sweetbaum and Little Davey Wheat", which is about two orphans who eat garbage. It might be expanded into a 3 or 4 song storyline in which one of them covets too much garbage and they end up splitting from each other. I don't know, maybe one of them becomes a rich guy, then upon seeing his poor friend, decides to become poor again and eat garbage. That's just the idea I had just now, and I think it might be "the one."

2. Going to see Ween tonight. Never seen them before, and I'm looking forward to every minute of their 3-hour, no opening act show. Damn but it will be good.

3. Tim and Eric have started doing a live talk show on Super Deluxe. I'm only like 5 minutes into the first episode and I'm already a gigantic fan of it. Watch it here if you've got a half an hour which you would like to fill with joy and laughter.

Happy Friday chochachos!

...er's Block

Can you guys guess what is even more fun that reading about someone who knows what they're doing and is on their game? Reading about someone who is suffering from severe creative block. In this particular blogger, this block manifests itself by allowing me to get an initial idea, then being 100% unable to expand upon that idea. For instance, I have like 5 or 6 beginnings of songs, little scraps, maybe 15-20 seconds each, which I like and would like to take somewhere. But for the life of my, I can't.

Being in the bottom of this ditch is characterized by me listening to a ton of music I like and being completely jealous and hopelessly wishing for things to turn my way, instead of taking some time to do something about it. I try to emulate that music and fail, and get more upset.

By the way, whenever I've tried to write something about having writer's block (as is my inclination when I have writer's block - write what you know, etc.), it has turned out miserably. So no go on that idea. Maybe I just need to get out in "the world" more and pay attention, see what I see, and try to translate that somehow.

We'll see how it goes.

This Post Brought to you by...

What is it, November now? I can't tell. There's no real weather where I live. Just a bit warm and then sometimes a bit cold and maybe it'll rain.

Let's see. Is there anything to write about, or is this just an exercise in boredom. I've got an Idea. More folks need to insert Capitalizations into their writing for emphasis, as opposed to bold and italics. Not that bold and italics are morally wrong, just that they are overused.

This is a horrible blog entry. I'm losing readers by the word. So I have to make the choice that many business owners have had to make in the past - do I cut my losses and run, or do I stick it out and try to turn this entry around? Most businesses who try to turn it around are really just drowning and should have cut it off when things started to turn south.

But wait.
