Who thought that putting rough, hard, irritating tags on the back of shirts was a good idea?
I will so bop them on the head.
Maybe.
Or I'll just keep cutting off those kind of tags and not worry about it.

Chess The Musical...
I'm about 90% convinced that Chess the Musical was written by way of a dare. I honestly don't believe anyone likes chess so much that they would write a whole musical about it.
At least it has some cool songs, right? Right!

This Morning While Eating Breakfast...
I was eating some Raisin Bran Crunch this morning and in my head I was playing out an absolutely lame commercial where some guy was talking about how much better Raisin Bran Crunch was compared to regular Raisin Bran.
I'll let you know right now-- that commercial would be super lame.

Dreams...
So, sometimes I have pretty unique dreams and I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever had a dream:
Just curious.
- that you aren't even in, nor do you know anyone else
- that is essentially a movie (including an opening credits sequence) and you're just watching it
- where your subconscious instantly comes up with an entire book, movie or song that you have seen/heard before that doesn't really exist
- that has made you feel actual pain (I got shot with an arrow in a Hunger Games dream)
- where you are watching yourself (as in, you are not seeing what's going on from your own eyes).
Just curious.

Dan is Right!..
For those who read the post about "Power Up the Power Bots" I have news for you! My brother Dan made the comment that he thought it was "Power Up the Power Block" and so I looked that up on youtube and lo and behold I found this:
So I guess in the end, I was just remembering it wrong (yet better than I thought-- the melody in my head is spot on!) and at the same time dreading the fact that I still have parts of the opening to Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys memorized even though I never watched a single episode of that show in its entirety.

A Best Moment of My Life...
So, this morning I had the theme song to SuperHuman Samurai Syber-Squad stuck in my head (insomuch that I looked up the intro on youtube [and I was very surprised to see that Tim Curry was the voice of Kilokahn]) and it reminded me of an event that happened back in 3rd grade that I'll never forget.
I was small and scrawny back in the day and I liked to play sports but I wasn't particularly good at any of them (meaning that I wasn't a first pick when picking teams) and the new sport that was introduced to us in 3rd grade known as Kickball was no exception. There was this one kid who was pretty popular named Colton who was always one of the team captains and so there was a time when I brought my SuperHuman Samurai Syber-Squad toys to school and he was also a huge fan so he asked to borrow them and I told him I would let him if he let me be on his team in Kickball. He said he would... and didn't.
I was obviously furious and upset. We had played this sport more than a dozen times so far so I knew his team's starting lineup preferences and where they like to kick the ball. First up was Colton, and he always kicked the ball between 1st and 2nd base. I caught it immediately and he was out and my team was pretty happy that one of the best players the other team had was already out. Next up was Jaymin and he always kicked it between 2nd and 3rd base so I changed positions and sure enough I caught it. He was also out just like that and there were some impressed fellows on my team. I can't remember who was third but I knew where he was going to kick it: a fast ball at an almost 15 degree angle towards second base. I was in the right spot, and I almost didn't catch it-- it was going so fast it hit me in the face but I caught it as it was about to hit the ground and he was out. Three outs in a row and an enormous cheer from my team.
We switched up and my team was going wild and for that day I might as well have been a celebrity-- they wanted me to go first. Colton was pitching the ball and I slammed that thing above and past every head out there and ran all the way to home base. Three outs in a row and a homerun to boot? Yup. That was a good day. I can't remember if Colton apologized but frankly I don't care because I wouldn't trade that moment for being on his crummy team anyway. The other funny thing about all this is that I can't remember the rest of that game-- only the first five minutes of awesome.
