Clowns to the Left of Me, Kittens to the Right

Following the Breadcrumbs of Hipsters

If you've been into this band for the past 18 months, you are much hipper than me (and you've probably moved on to 6 other bands you like better, none of which I'll ever hear of).

But for the rest of us, it's August. And the back-to-school sales make us cringe even when we no longer have a summer vacation (or a school to return to in September).

So, as the world continues to lose its collective mind and the bozos keep trying to throw us all under the bus, it's important to sometimes remember that the world can still be a pretty great place. Maybe all we need is important is the warmth of the sun. And a devoted friend (who doesn't seem like a clown to you). And a good song.
