Mary Moe...She's a Vegetarian...
Remember that song ...Mary Moe..She's a Vegetarian...

I heard it today and I had not heard it in like 8 years ...prepares for flashback...

:: Flashback :: There was this girl in college (who I will call S.) who had gone to Europe, I think, and then she came back and had this intestinal virus or some bacteria that made it impossible for her to eat any kinda meat and like 15 seconds before, this song was was floating under discussion, and thus she became Mary Moe..she even had her real name in a charm thingie around her neck ...and she was a friend...we liked her...but she was always called Mary Moe

:: Present Day :: Man... I totally love that song..it get's me a groovin'...

::After Thought:: Now that I ponder... I think I did hear it like maybe 3 years ago... and they actually bleeped out the word 'bone'...funny...

//remebers fondly//

//a happy sigh followed by an abrupt 'AHH WHAT?!'//

I just discovered that not only have I been singing it all wrong, I finally found out who sings it and the actual title of the song...

//braces for devastating shock to crumble the foundations of all that is good and pure//

The name of the song is New Age Girl performed by Dead Eye Dick... Lets educate and reform as many as we can...


The funny thing is that they say Mary Moon like a gazillintimes and the song is called New Age Girl and appears like only once...funny...

And then do what you have to do...

Ten Things I Hate About You
I hate the way you talk to me,
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots,
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you`re always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you`re not around,
And the fact that you didn`t call.
But mostly, I hate the way I don`t hate you,
not even close,
not even a little bit,
not even at all!

(pause for effect)

I did not see the movie nor the context with which it was given in but I thought it was kinda kewl..plus everyone else was bloggin' it so the leader that I am..I did the same...

At The End Of The Day...Yawn...
Yawn...this is some junk about the most annoying catch phrases ...not very clever...half of them I don't even know what they are let alone what they mean... oh and the other half I like totally use...
...and with all do respect some of them are older than old...read on if ya got nothing better to do...

//
At the end of the day... we're fed up with cliches...

Plain English supporters around the world have voted "At the end of the day" as the most irritating phrase in the language.

Second place in the vote was shared by "At this moment in time" and the constant use of "like" as if it were a form of punctuation. "With all due respect" came fourth.

The Campaign surveyed its 5000 supporters in more than 70 countries as part of the build-up to its 25th anniversary. The independent pressure group was launched on 26 July 1979.

Spokesman John Lister said over-used phrases were a barrier to communication. "When readers or listeners come across these tired expressions, they start tuning out and completely miss the message - assuming there is one! Using these terms in daily business is about professional as wearing a novelty tie or having a wacky ringtone on your phone.

"George Orwell's advice from 1946 is still worth following: 'Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.'"

The following terms also received multiple nominations:

* 24/7
* absolutely
* address the issue
* around (in place of "about")
* awesome
* ballpark figure
* basically
* basis ("on a weekly basis" in place of "weekly" and so on)
* bear with me
* between a rock and a hard place
* blue sky (thinking)
* boggles the mind
* bottom line
* crack troops
* diamond geezer
* epicentre (used incorrectly)
* glass half full (or half empty)
* going forward
* I hear what you're saying..
* in terms of...
* it's not rocket science
* literally
* move the goal-posts
* ongoing
* prioritise
* pushing the envelope
* singing from the same hymn sheet
* the fact of the matter is
* thinking outside the box
* to be honest/to be honest with you/to be perfectly honest
* touch base
* up to (in place of "about")
* value-added (in general use)
//


Plain English only has a top 4 list of most annoying catch phrases but has a 30+ list of multiple nominations..umm lil' hint... that is your list too!

BTW...George Orwell also said 'Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.' ..I know what ya thinkin'...WTF!

Papered Windshield Trifecta
Uggh...I saw those annoying paper flyers that they put under your car winshield wipers not once, not twice but three times this morning and on some major roads so ya know they just did not pull out of a spot and did not notice it...
So I was just wondering...
A) Why didn't they try using the windshield wipers to get it off.
B) Why didn't they stop to remove it!
C) Why didn't they stop to remove it!!
D) Why didn't they stop to remove it!!!

It was clearly blocking their view of the roadway...lazy people make me crazy...
Just goes to continually prove my theory that the world contains more Flying Monkeys than Professor Marvels.

I Am Just As Lost As You...
These guys are pretty kool. The Trapt website has one of the koolest layouts/design I've seen in a while and has the greatest online jukebox that I have ever heard. It is just as crystal clear as on my iTunes. Amazin'. The CD is pretty refreshing.

Believe me, I'm just as lost as you...and every time I think I've finally made it I learn I'm farther away than I've ever, been before.. [T]

Ten Years And Still...
Ten years and still I think what could have been... I miss ya...

And by the way thanks for leaving me here...all by myself...alone...and thanks for being so selfish... and not thinking about anyone else...and although I'm really sorry and eventhough I am aware of the circumstances/situation...however... I do not accept...that is not enough for me...


You could have been supergreat...

I know you did not see it that way but you must have seen some of it...
Right?

Definition of Irony
Now this is the defintition of irony. Why can't we just all get along...

Blue Man Group's 'The Complex' is out over a year but the new remake of 'I Feel Love'-video clip chose your format and then crank the sound as high as it can go- is wildly toe tapping. The whole cd is really kinda good..I don't own any of the other stuff and I have not seen them bu the i heard their performances are groovey

The Mad World
I heard this a few Fridays ago driving... when it was rainy and dreary and crappy and gray and I was totally feelin' it...the teary eyes...the sighs...the whole ten yards

It was like I just discovered the plans for the house I already lived in...

It is called 'Mad World' and is a remake of the Tears For Fears song of the same name by this other guy ... Gary Jules...
Even the Girl D.J. on the radio after the tune was over said "Sorry about that everybody... umm...cheer up!"

I thunk'd 'Is it strange that this song seemed so new yet so very familiar...?'

Then I did a Goggle search for it...

It is from from 'Donnie Darko'... the movie...which I totally dig/dug...and that is when I first heard it...and last heard it.... 18 months ago...

Then I heard it again on that Thursday...driving from work ... right from the begining

Then I did it again on that Monday... right from the beginning

Then I heard it again... from the beginning... the day after Patty's Day

Then again on Friday at 6 pm...from the beginning....hollah!

And then again! Again on monday from the beginning.....

And then again wednesday right totally right from the beginning...I know!

And dammit wouldn't ya know I was watching Leno this Monday, which I never do, and the S.O.B. Gary Jules was on there...and I caught it... right from the beginning...

Different stations...different times...I felt like it was after me or it was like 'Joan of Arcadia'...what am I suppose to do... what does it mean... driving me crazy!


And then finally they had played it on some station yesterday but it was the song before..."You just heard 'Hero' by Foo Fighters and before that 'Mad World' by Gary Jules "...and so the curse of The Mad World has been lifted from my burdened shoulders...yippieizzel!

Turns out the dude, Gary Jules, has a new album coming out and this track is on it...I just wanted to say I heard this when this song was kewl...like 1.5 years ago...right when before you start hearing 30 times a day.... :-)
Your welcome!

P.S. It totally just frekin played on my iPOD right when I wuz typin'...right now...crap!... crap!... ummm...curse back on :-(


All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Mad World
Mad World
