On a frigid, wintry night like tonight, the only thought clamoring in my head is the thought of Dan Smith in the wintry below-freezing temperatures posting flyers in a frost bitten state:
Paper soggy.
Push pins in hand.
A half-frozen tear moistening its way into the corner of Dan's dry mouth.
A frost bitten Dan Smith Can't Play Guitar with two fingers.
Thoughts of Dan nudged their way into my mind while sipping savory sage tea in an upper west side coffee shop. Like Jesus, he watches over me Before I expose more of my inner being regarding Dan Smith I must first address my reader's comments:
Tom, this may be a crazy blog but I have only one question for you: have you ever seen the "We are the World video" where all walks of like come together for one cause? Well, Dan should have been in that video but he's not. Now lets get to the nitty-gritty: 1. Regarding Daniel Smith, the voice over artist. I took the liberty of doing a little investigative work and found that this particular "Dan Smith" lives in Canada. The Dan Smith we all know would never be a socialist. 2. Rob, you question why I chose to post Nick's reaction rather than yours and the answer is quite simple: after reading what Nick wrote about me I realized that everyone needs a good slap in the face every once in awhile so I decided to slap you. I hope you don't mind. As for the dated flyer I assumed was only a year old, maybe Dan was running low on ink by the time he wallpapered his way up the west side? 3. Rebecca, thank you for playing the U.N. but as we all know, the U.N. gets nothing done. You are a woman of strong character and I respect you making a truce with Rob. As for the phone conversation with Dan, I was so emotionally hurt at the time that now its all a big blur but it was not a big blur when I posted it three days ago. Funny, how we age.
As for Paisley, I think she was in rehab so let's all excuse her for now knowing who Dan Smith is. It's like asking who Ghandi was. And we all know he was a great actor. This video is for Dan out there passing hose arctic avenues...
still no fucking clue... i better head on over to google.........

Yea, you better....let us know what you find.
Kali, thanks for the diplomatic props.
BTW, I went to that voice over page thing and it's definitely Dan. There's a Daniel Smith from Canada (like you said, not our Dan) but then there's a Daniel H. Smith page that says he's from New York City. It's got a head shot and everything. I like the character voices - some of them are actually funny. I don't know if they live up to your level of comedy though.

Hey Kali - I thought you were going to "expose more of your inner being regarding Dan Smith". What happened?
I know the inauguration was this week and everything but we're all waiting to hear more. Don't you think President Obama would WANT you to continue with the serious and sober work of entertaining your readers by revealing what you really think about Dan? I mean you haven't even said anything about his website yet. www.dansmithwillteachyouguitar.com (Just in case you need it.)
No pressure, I just like the way you write....and it has been more than a week.
