IT'S JUST THE THREE OF THEM

With the breakup of Minor Alps (She also recorded albums under the rock group name of Blakes Babies and Some Girls), Juliana Hatfield has reformed the Juliana Hatfield Three for the first time in twenty-two years.  Yeah, that's a long time to go without recording an album.  But when the Juliana Hatfield Three broke up twenty-two years ago, that lead to a co-ed Blake's Babies revival which broke up and lead to recording two albums with the all girl band called Some Girls before the chance to record the first and only Minor Alps album came along.  So now it's back to the Juliana Hatfield Three for Juliana Hatfield.  And with the release of her newest album, Juliana Hatfield is ready to go on tour yet again.

HOURS AWAY FROM SATURDAY

The Gentle Reader and I are only hours away from Saturday.  The Gentle Reader and I are only hours away from what Saturday has to bring.  Will the coming Saturday bring hope and optimism?  Will the coming Saturday bring despair and tragedy.  Obviously, it's my hope that the coming Saturday will bring hope and optimism.  I don't want despair and tragedy to define me.  I would like my life to be defined by more optimistic and much more life affirming aspirations.  So whatever happens isn't guided by predestination.  We guide our own fates and we determine the end result.  And with luck, the end result will be beneficial to us all.
And as I'm lost in thought during the warm days of the Springtime, here are some photos of Michelle Pfeiffer.

THE BASICS OF SELF CONTROL

So how good are you at self control?  I would like to think that I'm good at self control.  How we do in life depends on our ability to exercise self control.  Those who contain themselves and their darker impulses normally tend to do well.  Those who are unable to contain themselves and allow their darker impulses to dictate their actions normally don't do well.  And sometimes those who are unable to contain themselves and allow their darker impulses to dictate their actions feel the need to publicize their decent downwards all the way down the drain.  It's normally not a good idea not to provoke such individuals nor is it a good idea to repeat such self destructive behavior.  It's easy to destroy.  It's harder to create.  But having the self control needed to create is much more rewarding.
And as I'm lost in thought during the warm days of Springtime, here are some photos of Eliza Dushku.
