Hello, and welcome to the “all new” Ramblings and Disorganized Drivel of Hooligan D blog. I am the hooligan, the “D” stands for Don and this is my blog.

I began this blog five years ago because I am a sucker for peer pressure (everyone else was doing it) and it seemed like it could be fun. When I began the blog it really had no direction and blindly I had no idea how or what I was doing so unless you’d enjoy some goofy poems I wouldn’t even bother with the archived posts prior to 2011.

The new direction with the blog will be along the lines of what the name suggests; ramblings and disorganized drivel. Basically it will be whatever I feel like talking about at the time. It could be a vehicle to display any new artwork I have created (did I mention that I am an artist), a talk about sports (rants about my favorite teams and their inability to keep me from having to rant about them) or maybe even a goofy poem now and then. Mostly it will probably be about my favorite subject and that is music. I have an extensive library and knowledge of music (I think that I could have done really well on that old Rock N Roll Jeopardy show that was on VH1 for a few years) that I feel like sharing with the world.

Some of the music will be well known to most while others will be very obscure and probably unheard of for the most part. It will not be album reviews because I can’t stand and usually disagree with critics anyway, but will be more of here is this group, this is their genre and a few samples so you can decide for yourself. I know that personally I have discovered some of my favorites groups by accident through a music review or just thumbing through the discount section in a music store and trying a band that just has a cool or unusual name.

Currently I am planning on this being a weekly blog, but may change that as time goes on. I do not know who, or if anyone will read my blog, but I figure, even if no one does, it will still give me a creative outlet to talk or ramble on and will, hopefully, keep me from just aimlessly staring at the same handful of websites for hours at a time.

So, with that, “Le……………….t’s get ready to Ramble!”

Dearly Beloved!

"Dearly beloved are you listening? I can't remember a word that you were saying. Are we demented or are am I disturbed? The space that's in between insane and insecure. Oh therapy, can you please fill the void? Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed? Nobody's perfect and I stand accused, for lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse" Green Day-"Jesus of Suburbia"

That's right, I'm back and as lost as ever! A computer and a liscense to surf!

I want to start by saying that Green Day ought to retire! Because I don't see how they can ever top "American Idiot"! I just listened to it today after a few months of not hearing it, and it is INCREDIBLE! PERFECT! I think it could be the "Pyromania" (Def Leppard) or "Appetite For Destruction" (Guns N Roses) of the 80's or the "Nevermind" (Nirvana) or "Ten" (Pearl Jam) of the 90's! Not that any of those are necessarily my favorites but the effect that they had on a population, and on an era is phenomenal! And I think "American Idiot" has had, and will continue to have that same impact, for futures to come! I think twenty years from now classic rock stations will be playing, "Holiday" and "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" like those stations of today play "Pinball Wizard", "Iron Man", or "Smoke On The Water"! If you have not heard this disc in a while I highly recommend dusting it off and giving it a listen! And if you've never heard "American Idiot" you need to come out of the cave you've been living in and as soon as your eyes adjust to the light run to the nearest music store and pick it up! GREEN DAY ROCKS! And this is definitely their best!

"As my memory rests, but never forgets what I lost, Wake Me Up When September Ends" Green Day-"Wake me up when September ends"

Til, next time......Rock On!
