I have a hard time spending money. Some would even call me a tight-wad. I agonize over most of my purchases before I buy. The only exclusion to that would possibly be books; when I buy a book I usually know exactly what I want and go get it. And then if it stunk after I read it I regret having spent the money on it. Andrea is sometimes frustrated by having to shop with me. This Christmas already we’ve stood staring at a Christmas present for someone in our family while I wondered whether we really should buy it or not. That is another story for another day.
Today, after agonizing for a while over whether I should; I spent some of my money on U2’s newest How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. After the first couple of listens I dig it. I really like music that has a soul and this does. I haven’t been completely enthralled by anything U2 since The Joshua Tree or maybe Rattle and Hum so I hope this one grows on me even more.
So … how do you dismantle an atomic bomb? Bono says “with love.”

I've always been of fan of U2's guitarist The Edge, even though the name is a bit much. I mean, it takes some nerve to say "No, my name is not Gordon anymore. Call me Sting."
Anyway, I kinda like the new single and I'm hopeful for the rest of it.
That's what you need, Phillip... a psuedonym.
any ideas?
by the way, it's spelled pseudonym
