| so tonight i am having some trouble sleeping.
it was probably the few cups of coffee i had at the waffle house just some 3 hours ago.
speaking of the waffle house, i have a funny story (well maybe not, but it was funny when it happened).
tonight after work me and Paul were feeling some waffle action, so we
headed off down the road to are neighborhood waffle headquarters. It
was like any other trip to the waffle house. i got the my Texas melt
and hash browns with a little coffee on the side, and Paul was rocking
out on some eggs and waffles. as we sat there enjoying our food a small
flock of blonds walked in and immediately made there presence known,
chiming in with the Shania Twain that was on the ol' jukebox. still
nothing to funny or noteworthy. so on we go conversing, eating, and
occasionally checking out the flock.
now to the funny, worth wild part.
as the Tennessee fav. "Rocky Top" comes to and end, i find that there
are no other songs set to play on the jukebox, so i ask Paul for 25
cents to spin a song. I promptly put on some "steam roller love" by
James Taylor, and find my self enjoying his smooth ways. as i listened
to James i longed for more music, so when the track was done me and
Paul made our way back to the jukebox to make a joint decision on what
to put on next. As we surveyed the songs available i saw some Maroon 5
on the machine. Thinking back 20 min. to when the flock of blonds so
joyfully sang to "The Twain", i was struck with with the idea to put
the flock to a test on pop music and a willingness to sing in front of
total strangers. I quickly turned to Paul
ANDY: "Hey Paul, i bet if we put on some Maroon 5 those blonds will sing out loud to the song."
PAUL: "Your on, lets try it" (Paul says with a laugh and a chuckle)
so we put our quarter in and put a little "sunday morning" action on.
giddy as school girls we make our way back to our seats and wait with
baited breath to see if it works.
the song strikes up
a few seconds pass
then we hear
FLOCK OF BLONDS: "OH MY GAAAAAAWSH, I LOVE THIS SONG! SUNDAY MORNING RAIN IS FALLING..."
they passed with flying colors as the blond with baggy eyes sang every word as we laughed uncontrollably.
then it was Paul's turn to test the girls and they came through again
with flying colors, knowing all the words to Ushers "Burn" and again
being met with OH MY GAAAAAWSH, WHAT A GREAT SONG!
so next time you find yourself at waffle house and there is a group of
blond girls, test them on there pop music knowledge. i am sure they
will not let you down. hell, even if their are no blond girls try to
make someone in the place sing...make a game of it. | | |
| what is this and what do you do with it?

| question
how is it that while America is heading towards a recession and the global economy is slowing down, i am still reading about pro athlete salaries rising (i love sports, but pro athletes don't contribute much to the betterment of man kind)?

| Wow, it sure has been a long long time since the last time i updated
life has been pretty crazy between papers, plays, and work
the papers turned out well enough, and i just have a few more left
pandemonium (sketch comedy show for spring retreat) went pretty well
work sucks and i'm not making money
this last thing is what will bring me to a large portion of my update.
i without a doubt hate money. i don't want a lot of it, i don't want to need a lot of it.
sadly though being in school cost money and lots of it.
i am having trouble paying off this year, and before i know it i will being needing to pay on one more semester at johnson, then begin paying on loans, then start paying once more for grad school.
i hate owing money to anyone or for anything, but sadly i think that is just going to be the reality of the next 10 years of my life.
i also need to come up with money so i can find a place to live over the summer, so that should be fun.
as of late i have also been feeling something i have not felt for some time.
i have really been feeling more and more like i would like a special someone in my life.
i have not been in an actual relationship since Clinton was president, and it has been close to 2 years since i was on a date, and you know what? For the most part i have been OK with this. i have been just fine being single, and have really come to enjoy it. the freedom is nice, and i have come to find myself as a pretty independent person. i have in this time gotten to know my self and become happy with who i am. But, i feel like giving up some of my independence if that means i can share my time with that "special someone". i don't know. i'm not going to go out there trying to jump into a relationship with the first cute girl i see, but i think i may actually start keeping an eye out for someone i would like to spend my time with. i don't know.
there is a lot more then this going on in my life, but that can wait for personal one on one conversation.
