Spiritual whiplash: tongue in cheek, quasi-comic, semiserious observations on being LDS. In the JAZZY BLUES tradition. Not for Sacrament Meeting performance.

notes

Well, I have had about the most boring life of anyone I know. Except for some rather unsatisfying stints in school, and an unsuccessful military career that lasted only a few months, I have lived most of my life within about a five mile radius. I did move outside that radius about five years ago and I am now 6 miles from the epicenter of my own strange little universe.

But I am happy there. People know me and don't really expect me to play well with others. The physics of the parallel universe known as the One Man Mormon Blues Band are a little quirky and are based upon the values for a Fibonacci Series of negative exponents. However fascinating that may seem, there is surprisingly little sex and violence involved.

The songs that come from my experiences here are alternating semi-serious with quasi-comical. It would be a stretch I suppose to actually claim any of them crosses completely into either realm. But that is why the subtitle is "spiritual whiplash and other emotional adjustments". I have investigated this matter with the best legal minds (is that an oxymoron?) available and they assure me that it is legal to practice spiritual chiropractic without a license.

Anyway, I appreciate you visiting my little CD site here at CD Baby. I don't suppose you will actually purchase one, so to show my appreciation let me share with you my "rules of Popcorn", free of charge just for stopping by.

Rules of Popcorn (Or "the danger signs of addiction")
1. If one eats popcorn more than once a day they are probably an addict.
2. If one pops large batches of popcorn more than three times a week they are probably an addict.
3. If one eats popcorn alone they are probably an addict.
4. If one plans their days around when they can eat popcorn they are probably an addict.
5. If one has ever worried that the little hulls that are not digested might be accumulating in your digestive system somewhere, and will some day work their way to the surface causing untold pain and suffering, they might be an addict.
6. If one has ever hidden a small bowl of the last popcorn batch someplace so no one else will find it and they can have it later, they might be an addict.
7. If ones favorite song is "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree", they might be an addict.
8. If one eats popcorn for breakfast and justifies it by saying that it's a grain and no different than eating little round "O's", they might be an addict.
9. If one declines to see a movie because there won't be enough money left to buy popcorn, they might be an addict.
10. If one actually pays money for stale theatre popcorn, they might be an addict.

I don't know anything about this personally, you understand. I just got them for a friend.

Thanks for visiting!
