Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

I took the laptop outside earlier today and did some writing.

 

Now, I'm dull tired.

 

But, I need to finish more pages tonight.

 

Must. Push. On!

According to fdbaury, Bonedaddy, and Maelstrom, my use of the :rolleyes: image is proof positive that I am a smug bastard and an arrogant prick, and therefore people are justified in treating me like shit. I "bring it on myself", to quote them.

 

Of course, when other people use the :rolleyes:, they're just expressing their feelings and all else is right with the world.

 

Thanks a bunch, guys.

Look

If you had

One shot

To sit on your lazy butt

And watch all the TV you ever wanted

Until your brain turned to mush

Would you go for it?

Or just let it slip?

Yo

 

Remote is ready

Eyes wide, palms are sweaty

There's Flintstones on the TV already

Wilma 'n' Betty

No virgin to channel surfin'

And I'm HD-ready

So I flip

Garbage is all I'm getting

 

There's Simon Cowell

Who folks wanna disembowel

He opens his mouth

Always says something foul

They're dyin', wow

Wannabes are crying now

He votes them out

Time to throw in the towel

 

Shows based on reality

Oh, the humanity!

Oh, Ozzy's family

Sho' loves profanity

Whoa, the insanity

Oh, dogs that crap and pee

Home of depravity?

No, they live happily

Yo

 

Plus "Da Ali G Show"

And "Celebrity Mole"

Oh, and there's Anna Nicole

Well, she's scaring me

 

"Look ma, no cavities"

Oh, it's a station break

Better go out to the kitchen and microwave something

 

"You're gonna lose your mind watchin' TV" They told me, they'd scold me

But I'd still tune in every show (show)

My cable gets C-SPAN, TV-Land, and HBO

The Travel Channel, Discovery, and Lifetime (yo)

 

"You're gonna lose your mind watchin' TV"

They told me, cajoled me, "Turn off those music videos" (no)

I'm gonna watch C-SPAN, TV-Land, and HBO

The History Channel and QVC and Lifetime (yo)

(You're gonna)

 

My butt is aching

As I watch NASCAR racing

That show about undertaking

Larry King

To "24" to "Law And Order"

The Weather Channel's boring like "60 Minutes"'s ancient reporters

Next up on "E! True Hollywood Story"

The rise and decline of twelve actors named Corey

 

Shows for next fall, they've already been namin'

"CSI: Boise" and "Touched By An Uncle" both sound pretty lame 'n'

So does "Everybody Tolerates Raymond"

And "King of Queens" jumped the shark the first minute

I can't believe Richard Simmons ain't in it

 

I'll move right on to "8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenaged Daughter"

Then I bet

I watch "The Bachelorette"

Followed by "Welcome Back, Kotter"

And "The Muppet Show" where they go 'Mahna Mahna'

 

"You're gonna lose your mind watching TV"

They told me, they'd scold me

But I'd still tune in every show (show)

My cable gets C-SPAN, TV-Land, and HBO

The Disney Channel and A&E and Lifetime (yo)

 

"You're gonna lose your mind watching TV"

They told me, cajoled me

But I still love Lisa Kudrow (drow)

I'm looking at C-SPAN, TV-Land, and HBO

The Playboy Channel and Court TV and Lifetime (yo)

(You're Gonna)

 

Never missed "Melrose Place" or "Lost In Space"

I've seen each "Amazing Race" and "Without A Trace"

But I only watched "Will And Grace" one time one day

Wish I hadn't 'cause TiVo now thinks I'm gay

 

Oh, and "Fear Factor" I watched maybe a half hour

After that, felt like I needed a long shower

Network execs with naked ambitions

"Next week on FOX, watch lions eat Christians"

 

Like to tie up those programming planners

Make 'em watch all of that junk 'til their heads explode just like "Scanners"

Leech-covered grub-eatin' fools on "Survivor"

Look there's James Lipton discussing the oeuvre of Mr. Rob Schneider

 

And there's "Gilligan" and "SpongeBob", plus there's "MacGyver"

And Jay Leno has got Madonna, hey there's Luke Perry on a

Special all Pig-Latin episode of "Drew Carey"

 

Wanna turn on "E.T." 'cause I'm a gossip freak

And I gotta know who J. Lo is marryin' this week

A 30 second spot

Then we come back to "Are You Hot?"

I was planning on recording "The Sopranos"

I forgot

 

I love shows with or without a plot

I'll stare 'til my legs are numb, my eyes bloodshot

Because I only have got

One brain to rot

I'm gonna spend my life watching television a lot

 

"You're gonna lose your mind watching TV"

They told me, they'd scold me

But I'd still tune in every show (show)

My cable gets C-SPAN, TV-Land, and HBO

The Sci-Fi Channel and AMC and Lifetime (yo)

 

"You're gonna lose your mind watching TV"

They told me, cajoled me, "Turn off that Oprah Winfrey show" (no)

I got it on C-SPAN, TV-Land, and HBO

The Learning Channel and MTV and Lifetime (yo)

(You're gonna)

 

You can watch anything you want to, man

 

 

 

Couch Potato is the first (1st) song on the "Poodle Hat" album. It is a parody of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem with original lyrics by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

 

 

Tee hee...

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

Tuesday, I made a mistake at work. I was told it wasn't a big one.

 

Wednesday night I get home and find my boss has called and wants to talk to me,and call him at home, but I did not get home until after 10 and figured he was going to be in bed.

 

So all night I thought I was going to get reamed due to the mistake I made Tues. (hence why I didn't 'feel' funny)

 

This morning I get hold of him, and find that, instead of losing my job or getting a write-up, I'm getting a chance to train for a higher level position.

 

 

I hate my damn negative side. He loves to torture me for my mistakes.

I saw the new punisher movie the other night. My wife got an "already viewed" copy, about the same day it came out, for about $2.

 

It was actually pretty good. Sure, it had some Absolutely schlocky bits.

 

The section with "The Russian" had me rolling around laughing. Does that say bad things about me?

 

The ending was, of course, over the top. Oh well.

 

definately worthy of the price. :)

This Thursday at the Fantasy HERO game, Don read some stuff from this book called Bad TV. According to this book, one of the worst TV movies of all time is a 1968 piece on Alexander the Great. Starring William Shatner.

 

Also starring, John Cassavetes, Joseph Cotton (good so far) and Adam West as Cleander.

 

W

T

F??

 

Scarier yet: This thing really exists.

Re relit candles a lot as my son Morgan loves to blow them out...

Breathe deep the gathering gloom

Watch lights fade from every room

Bedsitter people look back and lament

Another day's useless energy is spent

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one

Lonely man cries out for love and has none

New mother picks up and suckles her son

Senior citizens wish they were young

 

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night

Removes the colours from our sight

Red is grey and yellow white

But we decide which is right

And which is an illusion

"East Asheville Hardware" by David Wilcox

 

An angel appeared

in a holy vision

Stood by my bedside

in shivering light

Spoke my name

Told me my mission

I could not believe I was hearing him right

Because he said, 'Go, my son, go...

 

Always go to East Asheville Hardware

Before you go to Lowe's

 

He said, Go to East Asheville Hardware

Before you go to Lowe's

 

You'll help to keep them open

I'm worried they might close

From the stiff competition

From the national conglomerate

With the full page ad

in the color section of the Sunday paper supplement

and stacks of plastic swimming pools

and seven brands of power tools

and rows and rows of registers

all having nice days

 

But no, you go, he said to me with light around his face

He said, You go first to that age-old place

To that old wooden door

that you have to close behind you

To the wide-board wooden floor

worn down soft

 

To the real thing

Good advice, quality at a fair price

And know that they know how deep the frost goes here.

 

Sure there's stuff you'll have to find at Paty's, Lowe's or Sears

 

But go to East Asheville Hardware

Go to East Asheville Hardware

Before it disappears.

 

East Asheville Hardware closed about four years ago.

 

And Lowe's is underwater again. :D
