You think everything sounds like Queens of the Stone Age…
Why are country music songs so…descriptive? I mean, I know the whole idea is to tell a story but to narrate the entire thing as if it were a cooking show?
Today we’re going to have breakfast cereal. First off, we’re going to grab this bowl, and then open this box of cereal, now any cereal will work here. Go with what you like best. Now when you open the box, go ahead and pour out about a cup worth. It doesn’t have to be exact just go with what you want. Now we’ll take the milk and pour it in. This is important: you want the right balance of milk to cereal ratio. You don’t want too much and have soggy cereal soup but you don’t want too little either because otherwise you might as well be eating it right out of the box.
I caught a bit of Carrie Underwood’s performance on American Idol last night and I didn’t recognize her for a moment and I wondered, aloud, why in the hell was she describing what was going on in the song? I mean, she practically sang, “she picked up her keys, then walked down the stairs and out of the house because this was when she left.” Really? She did? This was the same problem I had with R. Kelly’s “In the Closet” thing. Even though I don’t always get hidden meanings, I don’t like things to be so plainly put out from the get go either. It just sounds…kind of dumb.
Kind of like rehashing my daily events for people who don’t know me? Um…about that…
I’ve suddenly been hit with an In-N-Out craving. Maybe I’ll pick some up this weekend. I could fudge that under essential spending right? It’s ESSENTIAL THAT I EAT. Though I would feel bad about bringing home In-N-Out without bringing any for my dad and quite frankly, I don’t want to spend that much money. And I don’t want to eat there alone nor do I want to eat in the car. This is becoming a lot harder than it needs to be. If I do grab some, it’ll most likely be tomorrow after church. I think I deserve some. It’ll be way good. I love In-N-Out like something fierce. I especially love their fries. They’re so airy and potatoey. I’m so far from an In-N-Out at this moment…well it’s not in walking distance, that’s for sure. I just may well reward myself with some.
I think the birthday plans of pizza and bowling may get the green light. I’ll most likely do that on Saturday since that’s the fun night for bowling and I could spend the birthday with the family. Sounds good to me. A weekend of birthday partying? Hells yeah. That’s a great way to get the birthday month celebrations kick started. I told Lindsey about my plans and she was none too impressed because she wasn’t coming. Well geez. Wait until you’re twenty…then I’ll feel okay to hang out with you with my friends. Right now it’s just weird.
Hopefully more people will be able to come celebrate with me this year. SAVE AUGUST 4TH ON YOUR CALENDARS! Last year’s celebration was a little hastily planned on my part so I didn’t give the length of notice I typically like to have. Plus life jumped in the way so a lot of people couldn’t go. I still had fun but I’ve got to do better this year. No one’s keeping score but me but I care. I care a lot. Okay, only a little bit but that’s enough for me to get motivated. If I’m like this with my own birthdays, can you imagine how the wedding will be? Holy smoked gouda!
I have a bit of a control complex. For some reason I have a hard time believing that things will go just a well, if not better, if I don’t plan them. Like, I’m already concerned about my own bridal shower and bachelerette parties. I mean, really? Don’t I have anything else to worry about [apparently not]? Naturally I think this as I’m helping plan Jacki’s parties and I seriously outdid myself with the invites and I got to thinking, I really hope my parties are this cool. Lindsey already started mining my head for ideas. I won’t reveal them now because it’ll just further cement my craziness and I can’t have that just yet.
Maybe in another year.
