November 25 – Monday – The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix and I share the same birthday which is, as of the actual date of this posting, tomorrow. Coincidence??? Yeah, actually, it is.

Oh man, this is still such a cooool albummm! I’m thinking it may have been one of my brother’s. And sure ‘nuf, I turn it over to side two, and there is the telltale last name in his hand. Plus, the Sam Goody price sticker is still on the cover though no trace of a price. It’s not in contention for the Ram back-up list, but may make additional appearances as a listening album, which I guess is the purpose of the albums in the first place.

Now that I have crossed the three month mark and have realized that I have to step up the diet process, which I will begin after the weekend, I also need to expand the exercising. I have added an extra set of weight reps at the end of the workout before stretching. I’m not feeling any advances in the bat-wing issue and may just invest in weights that are a smidge heavier. Additionally, I am in need of a few more minutes of aerobics, and I just so happen to have this album-sized single of Bruce Springsteen’s “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” that was given to me by an old beau who worked for an affiliate of the record company, or something like that. He also just happened to bear a striking resemblance to Bruce. I didn’t know what I was going to do with this oddity when I got to it, AND since the holidays are approaching, I have added those four and a half minutes that the song offers to that portion of the routine. I may quickly tire of it as we get inundated with Christmas songs, but hey, it’s Bruce.

Please excuse me for boasting too much lately about my past “love-life.” It must be the birthday thing. I’ll try to tone it down.
