Zip Zang Zing

Asparagus is one of those foods that LOOKS really good, but doesn't evoke any excitement whatsover in the mouth.  That's My opinion anyway.  I figured it was because I never had it properly prepared.  But I tried it in a pretty expensive restaurant recently and... it was still... Just Asparagus.  Well, at least I can appreciate it for it's amazing shade of green. 

I'm not sure what field you have to be in to know this, but I was very surprised this morning when I was shocked by a BAGEL.  I was toasting that sucker up in the toaster oven at work and I go over to flip it [because the oven decided to stop working on the top because everything they make these days is total crap, but that's for another day] and *ZAP!!*  Whaaaaaat the????   I was like "Who gets shocked on a BAGEL?"  I'm obviously under-educated here.  See, undereducated isn't even a word, but I'm a firm believer in... as long as you get my point... all is well in the world.  SO....  yeah, there's obviously something happening here... Is it chemistry?  It's gotta be.  I know there is a lot of static electricity in this office.  I also know that when I touch things that are Metal, I receive a very "pleasant" shock.  But..   bananas?  Bagels?  Hm.  I really would like this one explained to me.  Not sure you know this but, if you do work in an office and you have to deal with touching doorknobs constantly, use a key to touch the knob first, and the key will take the pain for ya.  It's a tasty little bit I learned.  One I cherish.  Haha. 

Drum class was Awesome last night.  I wish more people would join.  I wish we could have a circle of around 50.  The energy that comes out of even 15 people jamming at the same time is.. Incredible.  I get so red.. and hot... and... just feel so incredibly energized.  And you're Really not even moving all that much.  Just your arms.  But..  the energry is... Wow.  I feel like all my molecules are having one Hell of a party in there.  I'm very disappointed that I haven't played my drum as often as I should.  I need to truly buckle down and.. .Stick To It.  Cause.... It's Awesome.  But I'd REALLY love a Bougarabou.  Everyone should own one.  Haha.  Oh!  I know what I want to get... a Snake Charmer.  John McCrea of Cake LOVES that thing... he uses it in practically every song.  When we have our kindergarten percussion circles... I'm gonna introduce my snake charmer.  Should add a nice amount of zip, zang and tang.  ;)

I wonder if people have named their kid initials.  Such as "D.A. Smith"  I'm sure it's legal.  I know naming your kid a number isn't legal.  Well, "77" wouldn't be, but "Seventy Seven" would be.  Haha.  So many people don't like their name and they end up shortening it most of the time.  I don't like real long names.  Do you know an "Alexandria" that actually goes by Alexandria?  No.  I say skip to the nickname.  I like Jules for a girl.  I think it's adorable.  "Aw.  Is that short for Julianna?"    "Um...  No." 

Thank you, Zach de la Rocha.

It was 60 degrees in my office when I came in this morning. Dang. How’s a girl supposed to sit at her desk with freezing hands, and perform her normal, everyday duties? I considered grabbing my gloves from the car. But, that’s just silly. For some reason, when I come back in the office after lunch, it’s always warmer in here. Hmm. But, it’s funny that 60 degrees can feel like summer after you’re used to 20 degree days. That’s when “they” would say, “It’s all relative”.


So, it’s been a while, once again. I feel its not-at-all-cool to just write something on here, just to write something cause it’s been a while. I’m guessing Maybe 3 people read this thing, so I’m sure it’s not a big deal if I don’t have mega-interesting things to say every time. However, that’s the reason you come here in the first place. For… something interesting to read. Right? So I guess that would mean that I don’t have many interesting things happening in my life at the moment to tell ya’ll about. There are a few things I can pull outta my ass tho.

*sneeze* (with a mouthful of food) Don’t you LOVE that??

Something that made me laugh a couple weeks ago was a friend of mine sent me a text saying “When did you send out your Christmas cards?” This is like.. February 6th-ish. I’m like.. “Um.. around the first week or two of December”. Welp, she JUST got hers that day. That struck me as Very Funny at the moment. I was like. “Wow! Well… Merry Christmas!” Haha. Funny how these things work out sometimes. Things obviously (and understandably) get lost in the post office. It’s a very hectic place I’m sure. But… I was thinking after finding the thing 2 months after fact, they’d be better off pitching it. But, how would they know it was an Xmas card? So, yeah, funny stuff. The USPS hasn’t seemed to be a very reliable way of shipping important items. I’d recommend UPS for anything you Really care about reaching it’s destination.

I was listening to Rage Against the Machine’s 1st album the other day, entitled “Rage Against the Machine”. I hate when they do that. Give your album a name, would ya? Regardless, it’s kickass. If you are familiar with it, you are well aware of this. Is it angry? Yes. Is it full of testosterone and out-of-control energy? Yes. This is why it’s fantastic. So passionate. They actually had something to say. Regardless of what you have to say, if you are passionate about it, I’d like to hear about it. Of course there are exceptions to this. [[do I really need to list examples?]] The whole point is… I’ve listened to that disc Many times.. but just a couple days ago I realized a few choice words that Zach whispers in the song Freedom. “Anger is a Gift”. Haha. I found that both very funny and very interesting. Yes.. I suppose it is at times.

I promise my next post will be more entertaining. Happy 2/22.
