I am a Troy Glaus rally monkey....again?
What's in a song?
I was driving home from our basketball game earlier this evening and listening to this one song, "Pina Colada," by Simon and Garfunkel. I really like that song, they play a little snippit of it in Shrek, when Lord Farquaad chooses bachelorette # 3, and some other movies too...but anyway, it has one of those really happy sounding sounds. It's funny though how it's such a happy-go-lucky type of song, cuz when you listen to the lyrics, it kinda sucks. It's about a couple, the guy's singing by the way, and he talks about how things are so boring w/ his girlfriend so he reads a personal ad and finds one that he likes and writes back. So they meet up, and lo and behold, it's HIS GIRLFRIEND!!! You don't find that out til the last verse and things are all happy again afterwards...but duuude...let's look at the bigger picture here. BOTH of these people had the intentions of CHEATING on their significant others...and just because they met up w/ each other made it all okay? Hmmm...something's wrong w/ this picture... Funny how sometimes one doesn't know exactly what's happening in the song that he/she likes...one just listens blissfully and grooves to the music. Another example is one by Good Charlotte, the title eludes me right now, but yeah, crazy...
Celebration
Today, op, I stand corrected, yesterday, was mom's b-day. I can hardly believe it myself, but she turned 61. I swear she looks as though she were only 50 or something...I only hope to maintain my youth as well as she does when I get that old. Well, I bought her some videos she wanted, "Singing in the Rain" and "Westside Story," and me and Jos got her this manicure/pedicure thingy too...hopefully she liked them. We spent most of the day hanging out at the house while cousins and relatives stopped by to send their warm wishes. Good food and good company, a hard combination to beat. So Happy B-day mom!!! Love ya!
Utter Disappointment
Damn, I found out earlier today that my friends and I won't be able to see the midnight showing of Matrix Reloaded at the Bridge on opening night, due to the fact that there are no more available tickets. Me and Ai have been like 2 steps behind on all this Bridge excitement. We wanted to set up X2 at the bridge, but like 2 nights before, ha ha ha, and now Matrix, only a week ahead! I shuold've remembered that when I set up LOTR a while back, that was like at least 2 weeks ahead, I think. Man, why didn't we think of this sooner? That's what we get for being procrastinators I guess. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, some of the time. Dangit...well, we'll figure it out somehow, we WILL see it!
Boy in the Hood
Verwin pointed out to me recently that there were a lot of cops in my general neighborhood. And after he told me that, I swear I've seen a squad car almost everyday on my street. I guess I never realized it before. There ARE a lot of cops around here. So does that mean my neighborhood is bad? I don't know, to me, it's just home...where I've lived since I was in like the fourth grade. But I guess it wasn't your average neighborhood, well compared to those of my friends in HS and elementary. You could say we lived in the hood. Some crazy weird things happened, most I don't even remember. But I do remember some of my friends mom's getting scared when they had to drop me home, they would roll up the windows and lock the doors. Actually, I used to be pretty embarassed about that for a bit, but hey, it was my home. A lot of things have changed since those days though, but I guess there's still a lot of activity? Tonight, I swear there was a helicopter, aka ghetto bird hovering so close that our house was shaking everytime it circled around. It was kinda annoying and lasted for like 25 minutes. Man, I wonder what they were doin? I can't wait til we're "South Los Angeles." Ha ha ha.
Technology
A friend of mine was telling me how great technology was and how much she loved it. We were in complete accord...and then I thought about for a while. Man, what if there were like some worldwide blackout, or like some bigtime electrical shortage or something? What would happen? Wow, that would reak havoc around the world. I mean this would be worse than that whole Y2K scare crap, cuz systems would just be shut down and non-operational. Man, taht would be quite a site. It would be spectacular, in a chaotic, I probably wouldn't wanna be a part of it kinda way, but a very interesting thing event it would be. Aside from all the bank stuff or money issues and defense issues, let's say there was some sort of backup for all those, how would each person handle it? No TV no computer, heaven forbid, no Instant messengers and no Blogs!!! Cell phones wouldn't work anymroe cuz they run on electricity...so would regular phone lines work then? But then no one would no anyone's phone numbers because they either 1) Store their numbers on their cell phones(which, remember are not working) or 2) ONLY store cell phone numbers...(refer to last comment). Kinda reminds me of the Cable Guy, when he falls in the dish and knocks it all out and people don't know what to do at first. Then they start reading and stuff...it's classic. I'd probably just read til the lights came back on, or play board games w/ my friends...have REAL chat rooms...ha ha ha But I'm glad such is not the case, or else I wouldn't have been able to tape Smallville tonight, nor would I be writing this wonderfully unintelligible entry. Good gosh that episode was freaky as heck, but heck yeah for OTHER things that happened in that episode. Man, I love Lana Lang...I wish she was my girlfriend. Hmmm, where was I?.....eh, nevermind...that's it...
