Welcome to the Tea Pad! My hope is that we can use this medium to remain in touch regarding personal developments (i.e. Aaron proposes to Dana), share thoughts (i.e. Facebook is going to ruin mankind), share music recomendations (i.e. Go check out Jackie Mitoo), and/ or anything else that you'd care to publish.
At this point only myself, Aaron, and Dr. will be authors. As soon as we get folks like Carl, G-Dogg, Dave, or Cape-girl back in the mix we can add them to.
I would encoruage you to post interesting articles and music recomendations or just send a shout out. When you set up your profile you can request that you be emailed everytime a new post is entered (this may be easier then checking in every day).
I hope you find this entertaining!

A-lot of music comes to mind of the moment that I should recommend to you all, but there’s one song from one very eccentric and compelling recording artist that I just cant seem to get out of my mind. I have come across several songs from this artist over the past years that made me stop and rethink the genre they were labeled.. They were definitely something different. Now the song that has me stumbling over in amusement and emotion is an ANIMAL Collective song from the Album strawberry jam entitled Cookoo Cookoo.. It’s a song engineered in a soundscape type visual environment, the song it self was compelling, hypnotic and catchy for all it was, a pile of sounds jammed together and rung in a rainbow colored mop bucket. After reviewing the lyrics I completely fell in love with the song, it has that timeless nostalgia glow to it.
Possibly one of better-written and performed songs of the past decade.

LYRICS
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
The king and I died
He kept floating past my eyes
And singing his songs
Life was good now death surrounds
Cause you can't feel a thing
No heart flutters in late spring
You just drift and pray
For sun-kissed, golden days
And I can't hold what's in my hand
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned
And little kids slide down on steel park slides
Little kids can't play with things that died
Sometimes all I want's one favorite song
And two to three minutes don't seem so long
And where's my mom, I wanna hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights
I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo
Well I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo
Where I'm going
I said please stay
You can see me, don't go away
I can't see the landscape
Please describe it's amarynthian haze
It's odd where I am
They're people, you're not like them
They just look away
For rain-quenched golden days
My tears quenched five feet along
And I can scream but cannot yawn
And people gonna come and people gonna cry
We just hope it's worth the age we die
Don't try to erase what you have done
Put your favors in a mouth, and kiss it if it wants
And where's my friend, I wanna hold him tight
He's so far away from mountain light
I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo
Well I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo
Where I'm going
And I can't hold what's in my hand
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned
And little kids slide down on steel park slides
Little kids can't play with things that died
Sometimes all I want's one favorite song
And two to three minutes don't seem so long
And where's my mama, wanna hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights
I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo
Well I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo
Where I'm going
