A Day Off

I have sat on my ass doing nothing today, first time in a long while, I bought some socks and some T-shirts so i could put off laundry for another day, wandered around aimlessly, napped, saw a great movie, 28 Days Later, it had a Brian Eno song in it, more like my favorite Brian Eno song, the same one that was in the movie Traffic, and yes I did pronounce loudly that it was a Brian Eno song, in the middle of the movie, any movie with that song in it is good, and this one was good even if it didn't have the song in it, I guess if a movie really stinks and has that song in it I might change my views on the movie/song relationship, but so far the directors that choose that song have been doing a good job, if Disney used that song I would get mad, because Disney is evil. The movie gave me a upper body workout, after the movie I noticed that my arms were all tired from clenching for two hours, I think i may have to make a work out video consisting of tense movies, "I have lost 25 lbs since i stopped eating anything but popcorn with no butter and watched scary movies for 10 days, my eyes hurt, but I'm skinny."

I don't know why I am even typing a post for today, I did nothing exciting, and besides, this all seems like I am gloating, but then again, I am not really writing this for a pulitzer prize, it's more like transcribing discussions from my subconscious. Deep huh? You can tell I am not used to a day off.

I would like to thank all the fine people that went out drinking and decided to give me a call after consuming large quantities, nothing beats being on the phone with one person (Ernie) and having the person sitting across from her calling me at the same time (Britton) and of course the lovely soothing sounds of a bar full of happy people in the background making everyone scream into the phone, I think I may be on to something here, a cd full of soothing bar conversations, you know to fall asleep to, or maybe you really wanted to go catch a band but you had to work, why not sit at home put on the cd of said band on one stereo (or 5.1) and put the "Soothing Sounds Of Drunk People" on another (stereo or 5.1), and there you have it, it's like being at your favorite bands show, maybe even have voice over's on the cd from drunken frat boys trying to pick up on you, or ditzy girls flirting by saying things like "Oh my God, you like this band, I like this band, i mean like i have made it to every show, have all their cd's" yep that's right you too can relax to the "Soothing Sounds Of Drunk People" for the low low price of 29.99, think of it, it's cheaper than a couple of drinks in any real bar, and you don't have to try to drive home. Coming soon to a merchandise page near you, or maybe i could just start spamming people to try to drum up business, with subject headings like, I really want to meet you, or, did you get my message? some day they are finally going to find out who is sending all this spam, and it's going to be a bunch of 4th graders using the library computers to generate income for their Harry Potter, Pokemon, Disney (Evil Empire) fixes, and all I have to say is we brought it on ourselves, damned computers, why don't we just go back to watching TV, the commercials are better than spam, why, because we all want what's in the commercial, how many times have you been watching tv and an ad for pharmaceuticals comes on and the next thing you know you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, you don't have CFS (not chicken fried steak) you're tired because you just put in a 18 hr Dobie Gillis marathon, all the while you are watching adds for eyeglasses, that you wouldn't need had it not been for the add, potato chips that you had to have because once you pop you can't stop, allot like heroin, and some damn jingle that's stuck in your head as you head for the fridge, (zoom zoom). The funny thing is I haven't seen Tv in awhile, maybe that's why i think its disturbing. I am going to sleep.
