Finally!

A win!

The Ottawa Senators won game 3.
Such a sweet victory on home ice.

And Finally.
NBC decided to cover the Stanley Cup playoffs.

It was a good thing they showed it too.
Because I do not think I can handle anymore aggravation,
not being able to watch the final hockey series.

Game 1 was not televised, since the Miss Universe pageant was on.
And that one I didn’t mind so much,
because I like to look at beautiful women.
(Hey! I am a guy. It’s in my DNA.)

Plus watching the pageant was educational for me.
At the beginning of the show,
the ladies wore their country’s national costume.

Miss Canada wore a hockey outfit with a hockey stick at hand,
Miss USA wore an Elvis suit, with a guitar at hand,
And so if Miss Australia was wearing nothing but a bathing suit,
I am soooo moving there!

Game 2 was not televised as well,
Since NBC decided to show a marathon of the
“Most outrageous moments in television.”

Now I like comedy.
But I do not need a tv marathon to remind me how dumb people are.
If I wanted to be reminded of that.
I’ll just take a drive around this town.
Go to the nearest mall.
Or just look at my next door neighbor.

Man, if you think humanity can not get any dumber,
I’ll introduce them to you.

But, Alas!
Game 3!
I have watched its full entirety.

Even though my Senators gave me quite a scare,
trailing behind the Ducks for most of the first two periods.
They played an amazing game.
They deserved to win tonight.

I also realized that as much as I enjoy watching a hockey game,
and how much I complain about these TV stations
not giving it enough attention
or air time,
maybe it’s better that way.

I realized how emotional I get when I watch it.

I end up screaming and talking to the TV,
Like I invented the game
and act like I am better than all of these players
and the coaches combined.
I do this wearing my Senators outfit and hat.

Hmm.
Come to think of it.
Maybe that’s why my neighbors look at me
like I’m some sort of a weird dumb freak.

No matter!
My Senators team won tonight!

At least I go to bed with a smile on my face.

Ramenons la coupe!

Friday 5 (80’s)

· 3 Comments ·

At last!!
On time!!

Here we go!

1.) Favourite movie of the 1980s?

—It’s hard to pick your favourite “movie” from “movies” you’ve seen and liked.
And if I put the classic 80’s flicks like “Back to the Future” series, “Indiana Jones” series or E.T.,
it’s already a given that these are into everyone’s likings.

So I selected a few of my personal, weird and obscure favourites.

1. Crossroads ““ With Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai in it. (Not the Britney one)
I chose this, because, come on. Who doesn’t want to have a guitar duel with the devil?

2. Hard to Hold ““ with Rick Springfield. Because, come on. Who doesn’t want to become a rock star with beautiful girls falling for you?

3. Clash of the Titans ““ Because, come on. Who doesn’t want to be a greek god?

4. The Dark Crystal ““ Because, come on. Who doesn’t have a fetish with puppets?

5. Debbie Does Dallas ““ Okay maybe it’s 1978. But I have seen it in the 80’s. And come on, Who doesn’t know Debbie?

2.) Favourite musician/group of the 1980s?

— This would be very difficult for me, for if I list them all,
I would have to cancel all my appointments and my child will not be eating lunch.
So I decided to put down all the band posters I had in my room, when I was growing up.

Depeche Mode
Duran Duran
Tears For Fears
Spandau Ballet
Sade
Michael Jackson
Eurythmics
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
Brooke Shields
Poison
Debbie
Hustler

–Oops! You didn’t see that.

3.) Favourite TV show of the 1980s?

—My God! Each and every Saturday morning cartoon!
Yes Kids!
In our day, we only watch cartoons on a Saturday!
One day a week!
Not like you with your 24 hour cartoon channel network.
You spoiled little shits!

4.) Favourite invention of the 1980s?

—2 things, I believe were the best invention in the 80’s.
The Atari 2600 and those Pop Rocks candies,
that pops in your mouth when you eat them.
YES! I love those.

5.) World Event from the 1980s that stands out in your mind?

—I have to say it’s the “People Power” Revolution in the Philippines.
Because right in the midst of all the fear and confusion,
all the way to the people’s victory,
I was in the hospital being treated for Dengue.

Yes. My body is weaker than most children.
That’s what you get when you aren’t breast fed.
And you sniff a lot of glue.

My god!
As you can see,
I am the best guy to answer all these Friday Five questions!
I should be given a medal.
And a straightjacket.

New song added.

Mobile Player here:

She’s Always A Woman To Me
– by Billy Joel.

My friend, Herschelle reminded me of this song.
(I read it on her Friendster profile)

I believe this song is one of the best songs ever written.
Plus it reminds me a lot of a simpler time.

I guess, as a musician,
you find comfort in your music as well.
I tend to play songs that calms me when thoughts are plenty.

Well, plus most people say my music here puts them to sleep.
Yup. That’s how bad they are.

Now I know I live in the States

Now I know I live in the States – Thoughts and observations #3

There is one thing I would like to try.

I would like to try and not watch the news for like a week.
Maybe a month.
And see how much it affects my stress level.

Living here in the States surely has elevated my stress color to Orange or Red,
or whatever color signifies “paranoia“.

Every single day,
Somebody gets shot.

Every single day,
There is a major car wreck, causing major traffic.

Every single day,
A child gets abducted.

Every single day,
Another American soldier gets killed.

The weather threatens to disrupt your everyday plans.
Either you’ll die from heat stroke, or blown away by a tornado,
or drown in a hurricane flood, or be evacuated from forest fires.

In Canada, we only have two weather seasons.
Winter and Road Construction.
That’s it!
Either you’ll die from freezing or you’ll die from car repair costs.
Plain and simple.

Also, in Canada, people there use their turn signal lights when they drive.
(some of them had theirs on since 1984)

Here in Florida, no one has ever heard of it yet.
Though it’s a law down here to talk on your cell phone while driving.
You just have to.
What else are you going to do with your other hand?
(well, besides munching on a krispy kreme donut)

Another thing I noticed down here is,
there is a drive-thru for everything.

Drive-thru liquor stores,
Drive-thru tax refund help,
Drive-thru pharmacies.
How lazy can people be?

I hate it sometimes when I go to a department store,
and couldn’t find a parking spot
because someone is too lazy to return the shopping cart they used,
and just left it at the parking space.

Now why should they return it?
The store hired people to return it anyways, right?

Yes, but that’s not the point.
Somehow, someday that shopping cart will roll over and hit your car.
Especially with hurricane winds that plagued the nation,
then cause a scratch or a dent.

But why would you care,
That’s why you had insurance right?

And what is up with the shootings?
While I was watching the local news the other day,
This reporter was reporting,
(well, because that’s what reporters do)
That the local police enforcement had to upgrade their weapons,
To automatic rifles, and tasers.

The reason?
It’s for their own protection.
The criminals nowadays use state of the art modern weapons,
that the police are actually afraid of.

Wow!
I don’t think I can afford a taser,
and I am definitely a supporter of a gunless society,
so it’s a good thing I learned how to run fast,
in case the police is not around when I get mugged.

Okay, okay, enough of this whiny-crybaby rant of the day.

I better start packing.
I got to fly to Pennsylvania for a week for a cousin’s wedding.

Maybe this is my chance not to watch the news for a week.
Maybe this is my chance to lower my stress level.

Wait, June is the official start of the hurricane season.
Flights will be delayed or cancelled.

Damn it!!
I guess I can’t get rid of travel stress.

Amazing

It amazes me how fast Tyler grows.
He now can crawl and sit up on his own.
Just today he grabbed a hold of the couch while sitting on the floor,
Trying to pull himself to stand up.

It won’t be long now.
He will start walking soon,
And let the race begin.

I always play music in front of him.
He always shakes his hands from excitement,
Whenever he sees me pick up my guitar.
He seems to like it very much.

He stares at my hands and the guitar as I strike the strings.
The other day, I gave him my guitar pick,
and since babies put everything in their mouths,
I try to be on guard, making sure he won’t stick it in his,
To my surprise, he looked at me,
Reached out and tried to strum the strings with the pick.

Babies are smart.
