ODDs and ENDS

1. In a followup to my post about how 2006 is different from 1996 here. I think there is an inflection point in pop culture. There is a movie that has sensibilities that would fit with 1996 and 2006. That movie is Can't Hardly Wait. The timing is perfect for it as well. It came out in 1998 8 months before Oops I did it again.

2. To anyone that will listen to me, I always state that by far my favorite Elvis song is Suspicious Minds. I could and probably do listen to it on a daily basis, at least for the last few years. The lyrics, the production, the melody just slay me, and its a sad song, which I love. Anyhow through the magic of the internet I found this which is collections of "cover" versions. The only one worth really noting is halfway through the list, by Mark James. Mark James wrote the song (and also the Willie Nelson song Always On My Mind). Any how it is a great version and when you strip out the powerfullness of Elvis' voice there are small parts of the song you notice that when you go back to Elvis version you can still see there. (As a faithful reader of this blog I reserve the right to write 600 words on the song at a ;ater date).

3. Is there anything better then when someone refers to themselves in the third person.

A rare sports thought. Why is there no Mel Kiper of basketball. I think there is a million dollar idea.

What do you say when a co-worker watched 15 minutes of a Nova special and asks you to explain string theory to him?

The Post (not the Washington) film reviews are if nothing else on time. But then I read the opening paragraph from the zero star review of Strangers With Candy.

I'M giving "Strangers With Candy" one star for every laugh it gave me. The Amy Sedaris comedy based on the failed TV show isn't the least funny film of the year - but for that it should send a thank-you note to "United 93."

Senator, I knew Jack Kennedy and you're no Jack Kennedy.

Overheard last night: "I realized that my five year plan will have to be lengthened to a ten year plan because I am just not that efficient"

From an email today. Star is out at the view. And there is one less program to TIVO.

Let me ask you this question. Choose your own adventure style:

You are in a meeting. There is one person in the meeting who, from pretty much every angle, has the power. They are smarter, they have more experience, they know what they are talking about much more, they even have more charisma. Then, there is another person who thinks there is a power struggle going on. This person is making moves to prove how bold, smart, or likable they are. In this situation do you:

A) Laugh in your mind the whole time at the scene that is unfolding
B) Feel sorry for the person who is making it into a power struggle, because they don't get it
C) Hate the entire situation because yet again there is an hour meeting with six people that should have been a 30 second conversation with two people.

Why is KFC's music Sweet Home Alabama? An ode to the South and a rebuttal to Neil Young's condemnation of it, is supposed to make us want a bowl with mashed potatoes, chicken and gravy. Doesn't their ad agency realize what the K stands for? Kentucky. I am not a marketing executive (although I probably could be) but here are five songs that I think KFC should consider for their next round of ads.

1. The Chicken Dance (Imagine a bunch of kids doing the chicken dance and being rewarded with a drumstick by their telegenic parents)
   
2. Kentucky Woman (But only if we can actually have Neil Diamond serenading a bucket)
3. We are the World (What better to sell chicken than an anthem about world hunger)
4. You're Body's a Wonderland (How can anyone argue with John Mayer)
   
5. Free Bird (If you had to have Skynrd why not a song about birds...

And this bird you'll never change.

And the bird you can not change.
And the bird you can not change.

True Item: All day today at work the men's room smelled like mulled cider. I think someone had a Yankee Candle for dinner last night.

And my keys are on a keychain that says Class of 1981 Lion's Power. So if you see me and I am carrying keys that are on a nondescript keychain it is because that day i grabbed the wrong keychain that morning...

Whew, now I can walk the streets again safely and leave my copy of Dirk Benedict's book Face Time out without fear.

Each day I do struggle with one thing. The key to the building my apartment is in, is shaped as you would anticipate the key to the actual apartment would be shaped. Then the key to my actual apartment is shaped as you would expect the key to the building would. So everyday, after years of keys conditioning, I try to push in the square key into the front door when I shouldn't. I have lived in this apartment for five months, when will I overcome my key prejudice?

The Drudge Report is reporting that Rush Limbaugh was detained at the Palm Beach Airport with illegal prescription drugs including Viagra. It made me think of this Limerick:

There once was a man named Rush
who over, conservatives did gush
He made their wives swoon
but there was nothing this goon
could do when he was as hard as slush

Wait, so the world's second richest man is giving all of his money to the world's richest man. What's next :

Scott Peterson is going to help OJ look for the real killer?
7-up is going to offer uncola-ness to Sprite?
Royal Penguins are going to offer cuteness to Emperor Penguins?

Think fast: Can you name a movie that Nicole Kidman was in without Tom Cruise and a Keith Urban song? If you can, score yourself -35 points.

One more soccer thought. Corporations should institute yellow cards.

• Timewasting: spending a large portion of your day discussing your kids, your fantasy baseball team, your recipe for brownies, you repairs to your third bathroom or any other inane topic that wouldn't be interesting except for the fact that you are at work
  
• Blatant flirting with the intern. Always remember when she was in eighth grade your student loans were half paid off.
• Over cc'ing on an email. We get it you actually are doing work, you don't need to remind us every 12 minutes.
• Pungent food at your desk. There are times I wonder if people are eating a fart sandwich on sweat socks bread and washing it down with sour milk
• Obnoxious cell phone ring. I am sure at the family picnic everyone gets a kick out of hearing the theme from MASH every time someone calls, but for those in the office we are reminded why the song is actually called Suicide is Painless
• Quoting anything you learned in "B-school". We get it, you have an MBA, that doesn't mean you need to be a douchebag.
• Calling someone who is close enough so that others in the office can hear both sides of the conversation.
• Too many inspirational quotes in a cube. Has your "together we acheive more" poster with a bunch of stallions running through the prarie really helped you, you have been in the same position for ten years

Here is a question that has bothered me for some time and I have never really had a forum to ask it. It is brought upon my watching the soccer match between England and Ecuador. Why is video that originates in Europe so much hazier than video that originates in the US. Is it the metric system?

One other soccer question:
What is the highest scoring world cup game ever 5-4?

Appalachian State University is HOT HOT HOT

This is the kind of stuff you find on the internet on a rainy Saturday night.

What is your favorite pants fastening system?

1. Zipper button and loop
2. Zipper snap button
3. Button and loop fly
4. None Draw String
5. None Elastic Waistband
6. Zipper hook and tab

I despise button fly.

As I read in this week's US Weekly I see that Britney has hired a Christian life coach for Kevin Federline. I wish I was lying but there is something so sinfully delicious about gossip. In thinking about the repregnant Britney having to reel in her less than focused husband, coupled with my good friend celebrating the 10^th anniversary of his 21^st birthday this weekend, I somehow started to think about what life was like BB (before Britney). You see somewhere in my head I have a theory that two events completely changed the youth and particularly the female youth of America (and I realize I sound 80 years old by typing that sentence but hear me out). When Britney released Oops, I did it again and five months later American Pie came out, there was a shift. Those two actions said to college kids in the moment and also to the teens about to be in the moment, it's okay to be sexy. With that in mind I want to take you back ten years, read my description of a typical BB girl in 1996:

In 1996, if a 21 year old was going out for the night she would probably wear one of two things. She would probably wear jeans with a shirt tucked in. It would be rare for the shirt to show any cleavage. She might also wear a sun dress, the kind that would be safe to wear to a first communion ceremony in Greenwich, Connecticut. She might have her navel pierced, she might have a tattoo, if she does it is probably on her ankle, she would never consider the small of her back. She may have thong underwear, one or two pairs that she uses for special occasions, but for the most part she has standard issue panties. Her eyebrows have probably never been professionally shaped. Her nails and toes have probably been professionally done three or four times over the last year for weddings or college formals, the rest of the time she does her own. If she was hanging out at a party she would probably wear baggy jeans or khakis and either a t-shirt, rugby shirt, a baggy sweater or a sweatshirt. It is highly unlikely that she has ever kissed another girl, and wouldn't think of ever doing so in public. Her hair would probably be uniformly the same color or with some highlights, but there is no way it would have streaks. If she wore heels it was because they were part of a boot she was wearing There is a strong possibility that she owns no flip-flops. If on the rare occasion she decided to wear a skirt it probably was much closer to her knees then her waist. Unless she was on the college softball team, she had definitely been to the gym less days that week then days she had, and there is a possibility that she hadn't been at all, and guys still found her very attractive. Finally in 1996 if through some miracle you were to get a girl back to your house or had accidentally walked into a changing room and were fortunate to see a girl naked there were certain parts of her that definitely would look like the after and not the before picture for a Rogaine commercial.

I guess you could argue that all of this is a shift in fashion sense, but I can't help but think that it is more. For more proof look at an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 from 1996 versus American Pie. The 90210 seems incredibly dated, Pie does not and they are three years apart. Or look at shows from MTV's Spring Break 1997 versus 1999. A two year gap. So why do I write all of this, maybe it's because I recently tore through both The Tipping Point and Blink and my mind wants to make the case for how small things have made big shifts. Maybe its because I was in a bar last weekend where I was definitely two or three standard deviations north of the mean in terms of age. Maybe its because I want to rub it into a friend that he is turning 31. Or maybe as usual I offer it out there as food for thought. Either way I should probably stop typing I have to pluck my eyebrows.

Not to jump the gun because the facts haven't come out, and not to on a Friday afternoon linger in the mood of downersville, but this whole Miami terror cell thing is pretty alarming. Whatever happened to disenfranchised youth following Phish or becoming Civil War reinactors? Now they want to blow up the Sears Tower. My guess is that these seven have much more in common with the kids from Columbine and Timothy McVeigh than they do the 9-11 savages. Either way its a scary proposition, because it suggests again that the next terrorist attack on US soil will not be guys from a foreign land coming over with one mission in mind. The next attack could be someone who would have been in our High School yearbook with a caption "No Photo Submitted".

If you ever are in a meeting and you start to think to yourself that you should probably ask a question that makes you seem smart, and more than likely you also know the answer to as well, do me one favor before you do. Remove my email address from your address book and my number from your cell phone. Thanks.

My estimated Venn Diagram of World Cup (green) fans vs NASCAR (red) Fans in Alabama.

Pat Riley said that his win with the Heat was the best one, because he didn't feel like he was chasing any more. I love that whole idea. That here was a guy who had tremendous success and then struggled and pretty much felt like he would never acheive in what he once dominated, but kept at it and succeeded. In a way, I think this gives hope to both Rush and Phil Collins fans.

So I have decided to limit my music postings to under 200 words or so, as my Steve Winwood post upon further review begins to ramble like a priest giving the homily at 12:00 mass whose football team isn't playing until the 4:00 game. Today, I wanted to briefly mention one of the my favorite songs where the title captures an emotion that I think we have all felt.

Is She Really Going Out With Him by Joe Jackson

This emotion, I can guarantee, I knew of before I ever heard the song. I remember what was the exact moment. In 1990, there was big news in Concord NH. They opened a mall. It was actually a pretty crappy mall, the kind where the food court doesn't rate real franchises. The kind where there are too many stores that sell Mexican throws and hacky sacks. So my mother offered to allow me and a friend to go to the mall so I could spend my birthday money.

I think we had three hours there. Unfortunately in 15 minutes I had pretty much seen all I wanted to see, This left me a lot of time to figure out how I was going to spend the 31 dollars I had. I think I ended up buying a book, a George Carlin tape, and spending 5 dollars on video games. What that also left was a lot of time for my friend and I to people watch, which at 14 years old meant look at girls. By the start of hour two at the mall, the two of us had narrowed down a list of store clerks we found attractive and the best route to take around the mall to see them with the least amount of walking. By hour three we were staving off boredom, as even the most girl obsessed 14 year old can only look at the Chess King clerk for so long on a Wednesday afternoon in August, before even he feels a bit creeped out by his actions.

So anyhow we kind of walked the mall some more and then with 25 minutes on the clock before my mom would pull up in her minivan and take me back so I could listen to Carlin riff for hours on end, it happened. I saw the girl who at that point I was going to pledge my life to. She had long strawberry blonde hair. She had a tan. She had her jeans rolled so tight into her sock that she was definitely losing circulation. She was my Winnie Cooper. This was going to be the girl who on the first day of high school I would put a picture of in my locker.

Then coming out of the Gap is this doofus, not that I wasn't or am still not a doofus, but he had advanced stage doofus. He was the kind of kid who had everything out of proportion. He had really big glasses on a tiny head, he had a really long torso but stubby legs, and if my memory is what I think it is he had on one of those T-shirts that if you squeezed it with warm hands it would change colors. (I state that, but if you are that doofus and remember this day in August of 1990 and claim you never had one of those T-shirts then I am sorry, believe me I am not trying to James Frey my 4 regular readers). Then he made a move that was so brazen it still sticks with me 16 years later. He calmly walked right up to her and he kissed her, not on the cheek but on the mouth. At that moment I knew exactly what Joe Jackson sings about.

My last post would have been much better in October of 2004. I am therefore making the proclamation that there are no time limitations on my observations. For Example: didja ever notice how Woodrow Wilson looks like if someone made a model of the father from Frasier out of a new potato.

Or that Martin Van Buren has the hair of a Thundercat.

From an email to some friends today.

John Kerry always looks to me like if Dali painted what Jay Leno would look like after 6 months on Trimspa.

I awoke this morning to find that my alarm clock was blinking meaning, that as I slept and dreamt of the freedom that sea lions have that I will never enjoy, the power went out. That moment of waking up and realizing that you have absolutely no idea what time it is except that it is light out, is the waking up equivalent of showing up for a blind date to see on one side of the room Jessica Alba and on the other side of the room Nancy Pelosi. Until you find out, you are either on the verge of a miracle or a disaster.

I haven't come to a consensus on people who have to-do lists. I personally scribble down on a regular basis a few things I need to get done. Often it looks like what follows:

1. D-Cleaning Tuesday Night
2. Pay Gas
3. Dust
4. Make fun of Geico Commercials
5. Try to show up to work within 10 minutes of when I am due to be there
6. Stop daydreaming about what it would be like to be raised by wolves
   

I had a boss once, who had the most elaborate lists. Parts of her list included multi-colored ink, a shaped marking system that indicated how far along the to-do was being done, she rewrote the list every other day and then she kept a notebook where she taped the list to a page and added any comments so she could go back week by week if need be to reference. What I took away from this experience was that no matter what her kids did they were going to dissapoint her.

Sorry about the last post, since it probably has a positive focus group of one, me. Yes I have a few Steve Winwood songs on my Ipod... My music tastes stem from whatever was popular between 1986 and 1989.

I wish I were kidding, but if I were in a car accident and had to listen to one song over and over again because it was lodged in the CD player and no one knew I was in the ditch I was in, I would much rather Escape Club Wild Wild West over anything Wilco. Not that I hate Wilco, but I listen to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot only a few times a year when I am on long flights.

Tonight on the ride home from work I was listening to my I-pod. The song that came on was Steve Winwood "Don't you Know What the Night can Do". Then came on an old Traffic song "The Low Spark of Highheeled Boys". Now I think there is a gap between Traffic and Steve Winwood's eighties pop songs. But I don''t think the gap is that big. In the late 60's and 70's (and yes I have switched from referring to decades written out to the numerical shorthand, and don't be scared but I might switch back) Winwood as a part of Traffic sang some amazing technical rock songs. By technical I mean that you cannot put on Shanghai Noodle Factory or John Barleycorn at a random party and have people rip into a frenzy (Like you could, say, with Total Eclipse of the Heart), but anyone who has listened to a lot of music will if not like, at least appreciate Traffic's music . And to create music like that requires a certain attitude, a rock and roll attitude. But if one were to listen to say Roll with It or Back in the High Life or Higher Love one realizes that Winwood is no longer technically challenging us, but has he wussed out?

I state strongly no, he is just changed how he is challenging us . As anyone who has ever seen Dazed and Confused or stayed around their hometown a little too long knows there are always those people that keep redriving the same road over and over and over again, the basketball hero who now leaves his job early to help be the assistant coach of the JV team. Then, there are those people who who were absolute screw-ups and then all of a sudden have a job at the bank, a family and a condo. They have changed in some ways and like Bruce Springsteen's Glory Days, which I compared to the Robert Frost poem Nothing Gold Can Stay, my freshman year of college, there is a part of them that still longs for the the old days and wants to know that now and then they can recreate for themselves a life in the now that has some of the energy of the old days. So, Steve Winwood at the point of this song is probably in his late thirties or early forties sings. The easy choice would be to sing one of three things, one he could try and recreate the Traffic magic, two is he could sing about missing the rock and roll life, three he could sell out and sing silly love songs. Instead he sings a song reminding himself and us of a feeling that was probably common place in our twenties but is fleeting as we grow older. The feeling of the the possibility of love, when you think instant love is on the verge of exploding but really you are merely just having a good time. Steve Winwood sings a song that echoes strongly with the 37 year old woman who is out for Cosmos with her coworkers and gets hit on with on by a 25 year old for a little bit too long. Steve Winwood sings a song that rings true with the forty five year old who decides for that one night of the year he is not just going to have one more beer, but has three more beers and sure when he gets home the following morning after tackling a 30 minute cab ride, his wife hates him for having to drive to get his car, so he can go to work,. Because you know for that one night what he said was funnier, what he thought was more positive and the waitress at O'Malley's liked him more. For that one night he or Cosmo woman were reminded of what the night can do. That a night can imply so much that a morning's reality will erase.

Winwood is singing to us, not about what the night is doing, but about what the night can do, or better said from his optimistic eye what it could do, even though that now he knows it won't , because if it did he would be singing Don't You Know What the Night has Done....

If given the choice which do you think would be easier: finding Osama or explaining to an elderly woman how she can get the Excel file you emailed her to "her own Excel" over the phone?

So some of you may or may not know that I have started KickBoxing at Club-Ko. On Wednesday nights there is a special class called "Pads and Technique", which could also be one part of the syllabus for the girls section of a fifth grade public school sex ed class, but that is neither here nor there. Tonight we focused on Pads. The class started with each of us partnering up with a stranger and then alternating in 5 minute stints punching each other in mitts we wore. As someone who awkwardly hugs relatives imagine my reaction when the instructor said, "Okay now put your arms around your partner (my, at this point, really, really sweaty partner) and knee him in his mitts."

To some of you that will conjure an image that is rather funny, to others it might conjure an image that is kind of hot, to me it was just another moment in the class. Ten years ago I might have been a bit weird about having to do such. Maybe that is a sign that I am more mature. And maybe this post that was meant to share a funny moment in my night has turned into the Wonder Years... Either way it ended with Brian, the no-longer stranger, saying "see you next week in class". I wonder if he is a short-order cook?

Today at work I said that I thought Celine Dion sang "Unbreak My Heart", it's actually Toni Braxton. I think I could have gutted a deer after throwing the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl and I would have felt less like a man than I did getting that wrong.

Today I referenced Sylvia Plath and Emily Post. If I could be a comedian on the 40-50th reunion circuit of finishing schools I could possibly kill.

Here is a suggestion for women, sometimes a little bit more is more interesting than a lot less. Now that summer is actually happening I see tons of women wearing cheap banquet hall tablecloth weight, white skirts with black underwear. You may think that looks sexy, cute, sultry or whatever adjectives your mind eye suggests but that just isn't true. 18 out of 19 of you end up looking like your backside is a retarded Bat-Signal.

One more and then I get to contemplate showering. Why is it that every time I go to sit down to get my haircut and get asked the question "What would you like done?" I could be a superhero where my only power was amazing control of adjectives and I still would not know how to answer correctly. In my utopia there will be almost limitless freedom of speech, varied artistic expression, and four men's hairstyles denoted by numbers 1-4.

You know who we need to sick John Stossel on, the creators of Sudoku. I have been doing one every day or so for about a year and now realize that it isn't really that challenging, isn't really that rewarding, and only makes me feel smart.

I think the same people that are really into Sudoku are really into the DaVinci Code. In fact if you could sell DaVinci Code themed Sudoku books at all those places people are paying thousands of dollars to go on DaVinci Code Tours you would bring in a lot of Euros. That or Starbucks should put a Sudoku on those little brown wrappers for their coffee cups.

Any day now we are going to find out that the Duke Chess Club has been artificially driving up prices on EBAY.

Do you ever get on Wikipedia and just surf it like you used to surf the internet in 1997?

You know where you look something up and that leads to something else and before you know it 25 minutes have gone by and you are now reading about how Sonny and Cher sang backup on You've Lost that Lovin Feeling.
