Just Think of All That You've Missed

Oh boy, I am sincerely sorry for keeping all of you (aka none of you) anxiously waiting for my posts because they are so essential for a healthy existence on this planet, but I quess I've been too busy for you all (aka you none). That is probably a relatively unfair and irresponsible thing to say as I am the one who created this blog and vowed (somewhat) to keep up the posts and to fill your life's every blog need.

OK, moving on. If you aren't going to dwell, neither am I, and since you don't exist, I say you aren't going to dwell.

When I was at work a couple of days ago, a vaguely interesting thought floated past my consciousness. What if one of these thousands of coins and bills that I am counting have, at some point, been in the possession of a celebrity. Not boring celebrities like politicians, but music and movie star celebrities and such (because they are so much more important). Then I thought, so what if they have? Does it really make that much of a difference? They are just people like everyone else, they are just widely recognizable because of their career choice. They need to spend money just like the rest of us, just a lot more of it. The fact that they have a lot more of it just proves my point as they are more likely to have come in contact with more of it.

Now, this also makes me think about those sad souls sitting at home on their Dell laptops with the Marvin-the-Martian decals and anxiously staring at the screen hoping that no one will outbid them on eBay for that 5 dollar bill that supposedly once sat in the palm of Michael Jackson or John Lennon. It would save them the money and the ulcer pain if they just opened their wallet and pulled out a fiver of their own. Chances are it touched someone famous, even if it's just one of the Wu Tang Clan or a former guest star on Days of Our Lives.

Your chances of randomly acquiring a "celeb-touched" bill or coin is greatly increased if you happen to be in the New York or Los Angeles areas, but thats just being in the right place at the right time.

Lately, I've really been into this website:
www.11points.com
I'm telling you, I've never laughed so hard at a comedy website. My personal favourite is "11 Things The Bible Bans but We Do Anyway". I only hope that one day I can write comedy the way Sam Greenspan does on 11 Points, it's certainly a gift.

When I was at work (wow, a lot of my strange blog ideas come to me when I'm at work... creative result of boredom? I think so...) I randomly started singing along to Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love" which was on the radio at the time, and it was only after the song was over that I realized I was singing along with it and remembered just how much I hate that song. Then I started thinking about other songs that I severely hate but sing along to subconsciously merely because I know all of the words due to gross radio overexposure. I came up with this list:

- Leona Lewis - "Bleeding Love"
- Miley Cyrus - "The Climb"
- John Mayer - all of his songs... especially "Say"
- Taylor Swift - all of her songs... all of them

There's probably more, but that's a relatively complete list as of now.

Now, I have to catch up on giving you my newly discovered music, and I've got some good stuff this time.

Off to finish watching "Chocolat", playing Bubble Spin, and pondering what to have for lunch. Multi-tasking is the way of the future. Better start practicing.
Talk to you again in another month. Just kidding. Or am I? No.

Maybe.
