Today, I was listening to music the cheap way (YouTube) and thought I'd share a quick thought on Dylan. Whether you love or hate his sound, I think it's hard to argue he isn't one of the top 5-10 song writers of the 20th century.

Here are a few of my personal favorites:

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
Blowin' in the Wind
Make You Feel My Love
Forever Young
Mr. Tambourine Man


jraTop songwriter, yes, I will concede that point.

Singer, however...he makes my head hurt. 
mjintexas:) 
emI disagree. 
kristiegoreI love his songs. 
borHe is my favorite, I think he has a lot of soul. Add All Along the Watchtower to the list. 
justgHe reintroduced me after a lot of years...thanking him. 
nacmacfeeglea great songwriter. I agree his voiceisn't wonderful, but it is also hard to argue that he isn't one of the most influencial singer songwriters of the 20th century. just look at the number of his songs that has been covered multiple times. 
emHey babe! 
tramelliteHey Daniel! Good old You Tube...and now you have an iphone to enjoy! At least vicariously through Emily. :) I have always enjoyed BD's voice and I'm gonna take it a step further by saying I also enjoy his son..even though I don't think they are around anymore.. Tell Cleo I said hello! :) 
lefantstafi LOVE his voice.
and i would put him in the top 5 songwriters, no doubt. along with elvis costello and paul simon. 
emHappy B day Love! 
fredgoreI'm late to this, but in agreement... I'd put 'Tangled Up in Blue' among my favorites. 
kristiegoreDoes she enjoy it? I think I'd like something like that, I'll have to look into it...thanks:) 
nacmacfeegleCongrats. 
lynnyCongratulations!!! :) 
timandmichelleCongrats!!! Exciting days in your future. 
kristiegoreNo, we've never really watched deal or no deal, we've seen it once or twice and didn't love it. How have you been and how are you liking being a pathologist? 
goldenwestHowdy, friend. I'm currently a Biology major considering going into General surgery, but I'm struggling a bit with all of the options available to me. She referred me to you to maybe ask some questions or be asked some questions about where I should/do stand going into medicine. Congrats on graduating :-) 
goldenwestThanks for the site! Looks like a good place to throw around ideas and questions. 
goldenwestOne of the things I've been struggling with as a pre-med Christian is that I think I need a better overview stance of medicine in general. Is it tinkering with God's will to keep the elderly alive so long? Most of Jesus's miracles were to restore life instead of preserve it; what impact does that have on someone considering medicine? 
DessertDivaWell congratulations to you and your wife, too!!! So exciting!!

The Big Match! 03-21-08 09:46pm CST
Well, in a few months I will graduate and my wife and I will be moving from Shreveport, LA to Birmingham, AL to begin my residency training in pathology! There are things (mostly people) that I'll miss about Shreveport, but both my wife and I are extremely pleased about living in a beautiful part of the country and near Emily's family (like, possibly 3 miles down the road).

Take a few minutes to read a little bit about this exciting field of medicine! What is pathology?
lynnyThat's so great! Congratulations! :) 
kristiegoreThat's great, Birmingham is a beautiful place. We're not far from AL, we're only an hour away from Athens, I don't know how close Birmingham and Athens are though. Congratulations on finding your field! 
DessertDivaSweet! All the best on your new journey. I love making changes like that - have fun! 
mjintexasWoohoo! Now you're going to be bothered by questions from everyone who ever gets sick. Including me! :D 
timandmichelleCongratulations! That's really cool!!! 
fredgoreThat is really awesome. I'm very happy for you even though you won't be moving to Nashville. 
everything_orangemedicine is scary 
tmepiperCongrats man. Thats awesome. 
tramelliteAnd what about only three hours away from your brother-and-sister-in-law?? Hmm??? ;) 
jackofheartsi always said you would make a great pathologist... 
lefantstafi'm going to stick with my own definition of pathology, i think its way more fun that way.
wanna bail me outta jail? 
fullofgraceHumorous Pictures
see more crazy cat pics 
fredgore15 interviews in 3 months? Wow, I don't think I've had 15 interviews in my entire life yet. 
overtoneHey Dan! Great to hear from you. I hope the move to AL goes well! 
shadders05Super! R u moved yet? 
nacmacfeegleI think moving almost anywhere would be exciting- as log as you where moving from Shreveport. Congrats on graduation by the way! 
nacmacfeegleOh. Hey you are moving from the 50th poorest stae to the 48th. Way to move up.! 
jraha! 
wardGlad to hear—but I had nothing to do with it. Amazon tells the printer about the order who prints it and mails it straight to you. If you hadn't told me you bought it, I wouldn't know until the end of the month when I got my online order report from the printer. 
DessertDivaReady for a new post. :) 
wilburIt was great to see you and catch up yesterday!

I've been a bit hesitant to update my blog for a couple of different reasons, one of which is I'm waiting until I'm done with a particular phase of my life so I can retrospectively summarize all that I've been doing over the past several months. However, all retrospection aside, the main reason I haven't updated is that I just love looking at that picture of my cat, Cleo. It isn't enough for me to just put it on my desktop background or be the only picture on my 80 GB photo iPod. I actually get some satisfaction out of happenstance that an innocent Pleonast browser will wander over to my blog and see my potentially Pulitzer prize-winning photograph (the idea of which my wife claims she formulated, but I'm not so sure).

Nonetheless, I have decided I'll be updating soon, when I store up the patience to write something out. Stay tuned.

DessertDivaIt is a good picture. 
mjintexasSome pictures are just great for looking at.
Here's hoping your particular phase of life is going well, too. :) 
emThe suspense is killing me. 
tbirdnot sure this counts as an update. 
shadders05hey email me your email address. I tried to send ya'll an email but I guess the email addy I ahve is old. .. :( 
everything_orangeinteresting 
kristiegoreI do love the picture of Cleo with the sawn off leg:) 
jackofheartsyou think youre funny. you gonna get a job in tampa? 
lefantstafyour cat is awesome. 
DessertDivaThanks! 
wardThe only other thing I've head attached to that has something to do with talking about Bible things with Bible words. But (as is obvious), I'm not sure of exactly how the cliche goes either. 
kellymckibkibHi Dan! this is Kelly mckibben, what are you up to? that is a great picture of your cat, you should really feed them only cat food though

Cleo Says Happy Halloween! 10-26-07 07:02pm CST
DessertDivaEvil cat!! 
navydocThat's so cute. 
kristiegorehmmm, that's a little creepy...the kitty is cute though. 
tbirdgood 'ole cleo! i always loved that cat. even when he ate one of my fingers that one time, i stilled loved him. 
fredgoreHappy Halloween to Cleo! 
mpettesyou're sick. 
mjintexasVery nice. 
jackofheartsamazing how she keeps her fur so gleaming and spotless with all that blood around 
DessertDivaI do remember that. You guys were funny. :) 
shadders05hey! I need your mailing address! 
fredgoreThat would be awesome. Kristie and I love Nashville, and that would be exciting if it works out for you to head up this way. 
emHappy Thanksgiving! Miss You! 
wardYep. I enjoyed it, but it's not one of my favorites. Then again, I think that I'm in the minority among Koontz fans in that regard (i.e., not among favorites). What did you think? Your first Koontz? 
wardWatchers and Lightning are two of my favorites, although they're older books (mid-80s) and somewhat different from his more recent stuff. Intensity and Life Expectancy are a couple of his more recent books that I really enjoyed. Any of those four would be a good read. 
fredgoreNice... what test did you have? 
fredgoreCongratulations. I'm sure that you, like me, are glad to have your life back.

It's been over four months since I've posted, but I still don't have much to say, at least at the moment.

I hope all is well with everyone - careers, marriages, babies! There's lots going on!

Emily's doing well. We should be visiting her family in AL pretty soon, so we'll be looking forward to that.

I told Ms. Jackson she had TB a few days ago. I apologized a million times, and then I preceded to tell her I was for real. She didn't get it.

...maybe that's why I'm thinking about Pathology. Or, maybe it's the 40 hour weeks.

Anyway, good luck in your current endeavors, everyone.
ticketsoh, that dude??? his name was crocop? yeah, he was awesome. 
everything_orangenice 
mjintexaswell, I can tell you I'd be upset about having TB... 
fredgoreYou should have apologized a trillion times. 
danielstepheni mda eup the story above. i have to lie to make my life interesting :( 
kristiegoreHaha, that's funny:) That song was popular when I was in high school, it really doesn't seem like that long ago, does it? So, what are you wanting to do in the medical field? 
ktsmilesthats weird that you said that. ive had two other people tell me that today. 
DessertDivaNew Post
