Sweet Fancy Moses - 4 days in a row!! I could be onto something here with this just "logging on and chatting at you" while I'm having my java and chain smoking...
I almost posted yesterday afternoon and said I was going to be back at "bedtime" with an Ocho-rific Song o' the Day on Livin' in a Box. Thank goodness I didn't because my last stop of the day was a little more mentally taxing than I had anticipated and there's no way in the Universe I had it in me to do an Ocho-rific S.O.D. last night, but I will be bringing it back soon.
My goal for my little morning post is for it to be "chatty" ...
as if we're having java together and you're not talking... hahahaha...
I've attempted different concepts that have never seen the light of day.
One brilliant idea I had was that I would write my post as if I were writing a letter to someone updating them on current events at the Ocho and discussing "top neeeeews items" (as Mr. Modglin used to say) ... Some of you kids are old enough to remember that people used to write communications back and forth rather than grunt and text one another emoticons implying the state of their mood... so I thought if I were to write it as ... say for example a letter to a friend like Mendy it could be hillarious... Mendy and I bring out a comedic sides of one another that people seldom see.
I've known Mendy for about thirty-five years and I can assure you I'm as shocked as you are to realize I'm old enough to have known someone for thirty-five years.. I first met Mendy when we played t-ball for Metropolis Drugs in probably 1979...
Our dad's worked together at the same coal power plant... so we each have an impeccable understanding of what Mendy and I call "Union Dad Humor". We once toyed with the idea of a skit called "Union Dad's Gone Wild"... and I was actually pondering that concept again over the weekend as I was on my cleaning and remixing gig.
Anywho ... I'm not even sure if I'm on track anymore ... I am going to be adding a great deal of video footage and I do have a ton of it already on my hard drive, but as hard as it is to post a written piece without proofreading it a dozen times - you can only imagine how hard it is for me to sit down and critique whether or not a video is funny enough or entertaining enough to post publicly... thus bringing me to the next brilliant idea I had after "writing a letter to Mendy"...
A live video blog over morning java .. PJs, bedhead and all. That would be incredible for my traffic... hahaha... I don't want you to get the wrong idea with the PJs either ... they're not risque by any stretch ... in fact, last night it was pink flamingo pajama pants and a Styx t-shirt. Anywho ... I suppose we'll see what happens with it ... but those are some of my current thoughts.
I'm going to get to the bottom of the neighborhood yard sale today and make a decision one way or the other on that and the concert trip to St. Louis. I've got a zillion little to-dos that I've let lapse and I'm going to have a whopping big time catching up on that stuff later this afternoon.
But I think first I'm going to go get some bandage wrap for poor Shazbot-Moonbeam-Jackson's paw, he's had an injury - and run a couple of other errands, then I'm gonna come home and turn my music up as loud as it will go and slide off into a much needed cleaning frenzy for a few hours...
I'm also hoping to get to *the Farmhouse* later today for more footage ... finish a bit of design work on some promotional materials ... do a boatload of laundry ... clean out my car and work out about a half dozen kinks on different things here and there ... and I sooooo desperately want to go for a bike ride later and clear my noggin a bit... I haven't been on my bike in more than a week and I can tell it physically and mentally...
That's not just a bunch of malarky about exercise making you feel better, kids.... that doesn't make it any easier for us to make ourselves get off of our fannies and do it sometimes; but if you can just put past that "not wanting to" part, the rest is downhill ... as is often the case.
Have a Grand and Groovy Day!
Don't Text and Drive!!
