The Return of The Blogging Movement

I think I mentioned before that it was nice to see the return of original written material as blogs and notes on Facebook. It's come to my attention that blogs are much more popular as a means of reading material as well as publishing material. While I'm on this topic before I forget, I've come to realize that Chris' blog URL has changed, and no matter how many times I visit his old blog URL it's not going to change that fact. The new URL is http://www.monkey-wrenched.blogspot.com Oh yes, I'm linking this blog up.. I've also realized that a friend of mine from another church also maintains her own blog at http://beckywalksaround.blogspot.com Some of you may know her as Becky from Young Adults. I can confidently say that she's definitely one of those people that I personally know that I would've liked to see maintain a blog. She just has that way about her and interesting personality that would make for a good old entertaining blog. I'm looking forward to many more blogs in the future.

And as I said earlier, blogs are much more popular as reading material than I had previously thought. I say this because it was revealed to me that two good friends of mine also read this blog which I had no idea about. The interesting part is that one of those good friends happens to be the girl I'm going out with and blogging about.. Interesting.... Anyway, I'm always humbled whenever I find out that more people check out my particular corner of the web than I had previously expected, so I'm glad =) In effect, I'm doing two things at once with this blog. I get a chance to just write about things going on in my life, and score brownie points at the same time! NICE!

Today was a kind of 'queer' day as Kevin would call it. Queer as in the strange context I mean. First off, I didn't get much sleep because I decided to use only a single blanket (which happened to be one of the thinnest in the house) while I was sleeping in my deep freeze of a basement. Therefore I was buzzed one moment and extremely tired the next throughout the day. To add to this, I was completely booked throughout the day schedule-wise, going here and there nonstop. And in the end, it turns out I only ate 2 meals today (one being at 12:30 AM, an hour ago).

From the sounds of it, you'd think I had a crap day. But to everyone's surprise including my own, today was one of the better days I've had in a while. I was able to get a whole bunch of things done (teach karate, getting the guitar restrung, drama meeting, etc), while also being able to end the night with picking up 'that girl' from work. Yes I think I'm gonna use that to refer to her from now on. Anyway, it was definitely a really great end to my day as we got to talking and joking around on the ride to her house. What's actually really funny about it all, for those of you who know which girl I'm talking about, not only did she reveal that she's read a few of my blog postings but she also decided to correct me on one of my previous posts.

Alright, it feels like no one really cares to hear about it at this moment, but I'm gonna give you the backstory anyway since it's my blog. A few months ago I posted a blog that was in essence answering one of those typical surveys that I've come to hate so much these days. Anyhow, one question on that blog asked 'Can you recite the lyrics to the Fresh Prince of Belair theme song?'. So here I was trying my best at doing it, and being amazed at how far I actually got. And NOW, that girl is suddenly trying to correct me on the lyrics I posted as my answer. If you really know that girl, you'd be equally as shocked and in awe as I was when I hear from her of all people that I have the wrong lyrics up. I don't mean this in a mean way, I just never thought Fresh Prince would be her expertise. It turns out though that she knows the ENTIRE song and is just as much of a freak as I am!

Anyway, she refutes my lyrics near the end of the song, where I wrote "I pulled up to the house at about 70 or 80, and I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo holmes smell ya later!'. Instead she claims that the lyrics are "I pulled up the house, I was 7 or 8". So we both had a laugh about it, and I had to break it to her gently that she was completely wrong and I was right. My reasoning behind my lyrics was that the cab pulled up to the house at a very high speed, hence the crazy Cabbie. HER reasoning for her lyrics is that Will Smith is 7 or 8 years old at that point that he got to Belair. This of course makes NO sense at all, as the TV series starts with him getting to Belair and attending high school there, and last time I checked 7-8 year olds don't goto High School!

After all of it is said and done, the REAL lyrics according to letssingit.com is:

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo Holmes, smell ya later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air

What this means is that we both lose, but naturally her theory is much more silly and outlandish than mine was. I win.... AGAIN!

Anyway at the end of the day, I have that feeling of satisfaction with the amount of things that I got done today. The only problem is that I still haven't had once chance to even touch my guitar with the new strings, and I'm ready to pass out.. I guess there's tomorrow.
