Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    Oh dear. It appears I might have lost my blogging mojo. Well, these are always sort of fun. Perhaps it will get me back into the game. Firing up the iPod…

    1. Bathwater. No Doubt.
    Oh yay! Love this song!

    2. So Much For The Afterglow. Everclear.
    Another good song I haven’t heard in forever.

    This video is rather hilariously odd.

    3. Since I’ve Been Loving You. Led Zeppelin
    Fuck Yeah, Led Zeppelin!!!!

    4. Fat Lip. Sum 41.
    OK. Call me a dork, but I love this song. When I hear the opening guitar riff I smile.

    5. From Way Up Here. Pete Seeger.
    I have no idea why I have this on my iPod. But whatever. It’s cool. It’s Pete Seeger. Of course it’s fucking cool.

    6. I Won’t Back Down. Johnny Cash.
    Fuck Yeah, Johnny Cash!

    7. Skeletons. Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
    God I love these guys.

    8. Blue Shoes. Margo May.
    I have no idea what this song is. I have never heard it before. I think there are gnomes loading up my iPod when I’m not looking.

    9. Train In Vain. Clash
    Fuck Yeah, Clash!

    10. Deathly. Aimee Mann.
    The songs from the Magnolia Soundtrack make me feel very sad.

    On that note, I am going to bed. Good night, kids!

    A student asks the Zen Master, “Teacher, what is the ego?”

    The Zen Master answers, “That’s a stupid question.”
