Ode to Elton John

He has written and composed the soundtrack to one Disney’s most successful films. He also wrote a touching tribute to one of Hollywood’s’ most Iconic legends. Last but not least he brings to life some of the most adorned love songs in history. A sorry lady not only is he taken, HE IS GAY! He just got officially married this weekend ad “Tweeted” his marriage to the world. Little Jeannie, Kiss the Bride, and Candle in the Wind. After four decades of hits He is still standing strong. He has teamed up with Kiki Dee, Tim Rice, and Billy Joel to sell write love songs, concerts, and soundtracks. His name is a known to all and this honky cat even wrote a song that shares the same name with my feline favorite feline.

Kidnapped for Christmas

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a forty-year- old bachelor who has never had control of his life. As a child I was raised by my mother and sister. My parents were divorced when I was very young. As a result I had a “Bossy Big Sis” whom told me what to do as long as I can remember. As I said in the opening paragraph I am 40. My sister is still in charge of my life and I don’t have the power to do anything about it. I am currently out of work and making money as a free lance writer. My sister knows this. As a result my plans for the upcoming Christmas holiday are to come see her in New York City and I am told I will enjoy it OR ELSE! I don’t mind being the “inferior sex” as I wrote before. I was raised by my mom and sis. I love them both very much. I just wish I had control over ANYTHING in my life without being bossed around by a female. Oh by the way I wrote an entire novel (on this very computer) about the Women’s Soccer Team I covered at a local Christian college. I finished at this college on top when THREE count them three ladies asked me out to the “Senior Ball”. I live in an apartment complex where crews full of beautiful women and one male) are a few feet away. These awesome powerful ladies more or less run the entire “small city like complex. You must understand my confusion…In the Christian world we worship the Father, Son, an d Holy Spirit. At least two of those are male by name or title. The 3rd is up for interpretation. I however go to a church where there is a head female pastor and this is the founding church of the college I described earlier. ` So I don’t really mind being “Kidnapped for Christmas” I just wish I had an ounce of control over my life. Alas I am not even married (yet). I have heard my MANY married men that they have no control over their lives either. So I had better just get used to it.

Stranger Conversation

Definition: (Term) This is the type of voice interaction or talking with a person in public you do not know from a can of paint. This does not include married couples or family members that live in the same house that simply do no speak to each other for various reasons. I know it is an overused cliché’ but opposites attract. For instance. Last night I spent the evening in a bar listening to recently wed young ladies speak of their new husbands. The reason I know they were recently married is the rocks on their perspective fingers were still glowing and looked as if they were placed there for the first time less than 48 hours ago. #1 The married one was speaking of her newly acquired husband, saying that NO ONE in his family speaks to him and I wanted to inject for several reasons. First off there is usually a reason why an entire group of people stops talking to a particular individual. Most of the time it has to do with the “less than spectacular” behavior of the person in question. I kept my moth shut in order no to get kicked out of the coffee house I was in at the time. I also did desire to spoil her “Honeymoon”. The above is just one example of my topic for the day. The others are much shorter stories that do not involve five paragraphs to tell. I remember one day … #2 It was a long time ago in a video arcade far far away. I was playing Super Mario Brothers in an arcade in California where I graduated high school. I was playing the game for the first time and had some “stranger” looking over my shoulder explaining to me how to play the game. At one point I won the Mushroom of Growth and the Star of Immunity and this man was telling me what each did. “The star will make you immune to ANYthing that happens to you!” he explained almost gleefully. A few seconds later I fell of a cliff and died. (at least Mario did.) “Except that!” the odd man joyfully pointed out. I felt worse than my ill-fated one inch tall animated charater. For Mario had three more lives and will not remember that moment years later. (Dead men have no memories!) I on the other hand I still have nightmares of that day over two decades later. Okay so I lied the second story took five paragraphs as well. You never know by the time I finish these tails of woe and glory I may have completed my SECOND completed novel. #2 There was another time when I was living in West Chester… I was at one of my local hang out’s a local bar names “The Green Clover” and I was discussing fianacess. This is a topic you usully don’t broach to strangers but alsas there is an exception to every rule. I was pointing out that I make money without working and I theraratically could “Quit my Job” and make ends meat. The man next to me jumped into the conversation and agreed with me. We both agreed life is boring without working and that is why we work. There are other benefits to not working as well we both said almost in unision like medical benefits and keeping out of troulble. Just remember the old saying. “Idol hands are the devil’s advocate. Ironically I am now in deep water for I have not worked in a few months and I now can not afford my much needed mediacation. That medication and the reason I can make money with out working are ironinallly linked. That however is another story. #3 This one is short I promie. I was in a bar in West Chester called The Balarney Stone. I sat next to a blonde. She said “I’m married. Incase that’s what your thinking.” My response was priceless. “I’m thirsty.” I repalied. In Case that is what you are thinking.

Duke Vs Brady

Duke Vs Brady The Rerun Debate As children my sister and I debated over a lot of things. Some of them were pettier than others. One of the things we disagreed on was what show to watch after school ended and mom and dad were not home from work yet. At times the “debates” became so fierce that our parents considered let us “fight it out” in the backyard and turn the survivor into the local orphanage for a handful of magic beans. (or something like that) My sister insisted on viewing the Brady Bunch. I preferred to enjoy The Dukes of Hazzard. While both of these two often referred TV shows have a lot in common but alas they are at the same time complete opposites. If you have ever read my BlogSpot you’ll discover I am a movie critic. I have critiqued over 1,000 movie reviews and been writing almost since these two shows were on TV. So I will branch out in this BlogSpot entry and attempt to end the longest debate known to man, or at least to my sister and I. What they had in common • They both were about “Family Values” • Both were remade into movies • Both shows had titular characters • Both had legendary cars driven • Both are used in metaphors Aka: A Brady Bunch Rerun A Dukes of Hazzard car chase. How they were Different • The Dukes of Hazzard was one hour long. • The Brady Bunch 30 minutes. • The Dukes Ran Seven (7) seasons • The Brady Bunch Five (5) seasons What Shows We Agreed on… For there were two shows that we argued on it is kind of fittig that there were THREE Show we watched together during this time of early sibling rivalry. Those three shows were Charlie’s Angels, M.A.S.H., and C.H.I.P.’s. While one of them might seem like a girly show and the other more aimed at boys since Police officers and car accidents were the main spoil of the show. Perhaps the most promising is the one that was about war. While war is NEVER a good thing it is perhaps a GREAT topic for a TV show. This particular gem not only lasted longer than the actual war, there were more episodes in the half hour comedy than days in the war itself. The other hour long “cop” drama seemed “girly” at best. The three protagonists and lead character were female. They kicked but and took names and left chaos in their path. The cast kept changing it seems and arguably the most popular “Angel” only stayed on for the first season. She married another TV show leading man and thus became Mrs. Millon Dollar or The Fall Gal.
