What did you eat for lunch?

The peanut butter and jelly sandwich, (PB&J), also known as a peanut butter and jam sandwich in the UK and Canada, is a sandwich that includes a layer of peanut butter and either jelly or jam on bread, commonly between two slices. Jars of pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly are commercially available for making these sandwiches.^[1] It appears to have been invented by GIs during World War II.^[2] The sandwich has the advantage that it does not contain any perishable ingredients, so it does not require refrigeration in hot weather, making it suitable for lunch bags. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is very popular with both adults and children in the US and Canada. A 2002 survey showed the average American will have eaten 1,500 of the sandwiches before graduating from high school.<sup>[3]

Existence

You are not accidental. Existence needs you. Without you something will be missing in existence and nobody can replace it. That's what gives you dignity, that the whole existence will miss you. The stars and sun and moon, the trees and birds and earth — everything in the universe will feel a small place is vacant which cannot be filled by anybody except you.

This gives you a tremendous joy, a fulfillment that you are related to existence, and existence cares for you. Once you are clean and clear, you can see tremendous love falling on you from all dimensions.

The artist in his own words:

"My father, Jimmy is a great soulful guitarist, bassist and singer. My brother Josh is a phenomenal writer, singer and rapper who also happens to be one of the best drummers I know. My uncle, John the Baker, is a great writer and activist working at Alternative Tentacles and fronting several punk and hardcore outfits on the west coast. There is definitely something in the genes, although each of one of us is stylistically unique. Our passion is truly what we have in common. As an artist I strive for balance. When it comes to expression I do not favor one polarity over another. Im not trying to be dark in what I create but Im also not going to sugar coat my feelings about the world. A friend once described my music as a dark night of the soul that delivers you to the light.
I dont think I could have put it any better myself."

Social media productivity checklist

1. What’s first in your day? What do you do before any other social media task?
2. How do you listen? (example, I use Google Blog Search and Technorati search)
3. Where do you connect with your communities?
4. How many communities do you visit?
5. Is your social media use primarily for personal use or business or both?
6. What are your goals with using social media?
7. If you could list a bunch of tasks you perform with social media, what would they be?

Alegranza!
[Discoteca Océano; 2007]

Alegranza! does two things that often appear separately in records you fall in love with, but rarely together: On the one hand, it reminds you of so much other music you love, and on the other, it sounds little like any of them.
