Hello World!

Hey Everyone!
So, this is what it's like to blog on the World Wide Web......huh!

My name is Brian Hoff, and I'm married to a wonderful woman named Paula.  We have two beautiful girls, Sarah and Hannah.  I had the inspiration to start a blog post on the random thoughts that fly through my head on a daily basis.  Some folks tell me I should post them, others tell me that I should seek professional help.  When I say others, I mean Paula.

I absolutely love to write and I have been doing it from a very young age.  I was under the misguided notion that bloggers were radical extremists that tried their best to shove their opinions down your throat.  Little did I know that this was simply not true.  So here I am with my first big-boy blog posting.

I will try to post weekly, and if that seems daunting, I will try to post every few weeks.  As you will soon see, I love zany humor, music, art, iced coffee (and lots of it) and a myriad of other things.  My wish is for you to simply read and enjoy.

In the next few days, I will post about my recent experience in the hospital ER.  Trust me when I say, this story is NOT to be missed.  So stay tuned!!

Before I go, does anyone remember who shot JR?  I think the better question is does anyone really care?

Take care gang!

    Everyone knows it was that pesky witch Kristen! LOL. Mother of poor Christopher. (Cannot believe Dallas the new series went there and did that to him!) But I haven't watched it since season 1 anyway. What's Dallas w/o J.R?? Blogs can be fun. I have 2. But goodness knows I don't keep up with them like I should or want to. But I try. :) Look forward to more posts!

    Paula and I were just talking about that story. The stupid wench ended up face down in the pool later the next season! I loved to hate her! As far as characters, I'm not sure how the writers could redeem her after she pulled the trigger. Besides, she was more fun because she was a lying, scheming, bed-hopping tart! Thanks for the reply!!

    Yeah, but it was ultimately Bum in the end, that finally killed JR. Who had cancer. But they framed Cliff Barnes for it. Loves me some Dallas. Wish they hadn't cancelled it. :(

Expose'-Exposure

                            Sometimes, people play with love, falling in love is just a game..... Picture this:  1984.  Girl bands and groups on the radio were nothing new.  Madonna, The Pointer Sisters, the Bangles, and Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam were just a smattering of female artists that ruled the airwaves with their unique hits.  However, 1984 was the year that introduced a new style of music called Freestyle (a singable chorus, drum machines, and keyboard solos),  and it was performed by a group of three ladies calling themselves Expose'.  This hot new female band consisted of an eclectic mix of women:  Ann Curless, Gioia Bruno (pronounced Joy-a) and Jeanette Jurado.  These women went on to define an era of dance music and set records in the music industry that are tough to beat even today.  This blog will focus on the singles released from their smash, Lat...

Pointer Sisters-Break Out

If you were growing up in the 70's and 80's, and listening to the radio, the Pointer Sisters were ubiquitous; their songs saturated the airwaves.  There was not a time that I didn't enjoy one of their many hits, and this blog will focus on the singles of  their Triple Platinum album Break out . When the Pointers were recording songs for what would become Break Out , they were already stars in their own right.  They had a Grammy to their name for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for a song that they wrote called Fairytale .  They had amassed several gold singles and gold albums, and they had a massive hits in the early 80's with songs like He's So Shy and Slow Hand . The album, prior to Break Out,  was entitled So Excited.   The first single off the album was the snoozer American Music , which charted in the Pop Top Twenty.  The song's sluggish performance  affected the second single that was released enti...

Pointer Sisters-Contact

Thanks to the stratospheric success of the album Break Out , The Pointer Sisters were the hottest female R&B band in the US, and were on an undeniable roll.  It goes without saying that when a group had a mega hit with an album, the public and record label executives expect a major followup.  The Pointers were more then capable and ready to deliver just that. Even as Ruth Pointer's lead vocals saturated the radio airwaves with Neutron Dance , she joined her sisters Anita and June to start recording songs for the next album.  The Pointers had an ace in the hole with their record producer Richard Perry.  Perry, in his infinite wisdom, wanted to replicate the success of Break Out .  The best way to do it was to invite back the writers that turned out such hits as Automatic , Jump (For My Love) , and Neutron Dance .  In addition, Richard had heard that a new group of guys that had recently formed Mr. Mister and liked some of their demos that the...
