DAILY DOSE: "Everyday's Another Scene, the World Around and Everything for You"

While singing along to the Song of the Day, during the above line, I always want to say "the World is Like a Lazerbeam." I don't even know why? I just think there needs to be more songs with the word "lazerbeam" in them. In fact, "lazerbeam" will almost certainly pop up in the next poem I write. Poin is this : It's amazing what you come up with when you don't know the lyrics. Just ask Drew about the time he sang Biggie's "Hypnotize," and maybe, maybe had about 3% of the words right. Thank God for MTV's "Say What Karaoke," or he would've never made it through college.

That being said, today's Song of the Day is "The Ocean" by Sunny Day Real Estate. This is a good one, and is currently battling The Cure's "One More Time" for status of "my favourite song on the CD Jeanie burned me." I'll keep you posted on who wins out-- but we'll save talk about The Cure for a few days, I still have to collect my thoughts. "The Ocean" probably should've been the song of the day yesterday, because I awoke with the previously described "lazerbeam" line stuck in my head. But what can you do? I had already picked "It's All Downhill From Here." Odd, because yesterday was certainly not a day for that song.

Now that I've babbled on about that, let me take this opportunity to wish y'all a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. I know that pretty much everyone on the planet travels or drinks today, so be good and safe while you do it! If anyone stops by today, howzabout you drop a short comment either giving thanks for something, Jason Seaver style, or give us a quick recap of a particularly fond Thanksgiving memory. I'll probably write about my least favourite Thanksgiving memory tonight or tomorrow, and share it with you. I'll give you a sneak peak, though-- it involves my brother throwing into triple coverage to end a 4 on 4 football game. Do the math, there. I still won't let him play quarterback.

Link of the Day? Ugh... I got nuthin' today. And I'm going to get a haircut. If you're REALLY bored, and need a link-- head to MTV.com, and find the complete new U2 album for free and easy download.

One last thing-- Grampy "Ice Man" Staub and Bruce Banner have been kind enough to send along part II of their Fundamental Rules for Life as a Guy. I'll be posting them next week, when everyone's less busy, and we can all bitch and scream at each other more effectively. So stay tuned. But WAIT! I'm soliciting offers from girls who are interested in submitting their OWN rules, to try and counteract. I mean, really, I'm an equal opportunity type. And at the very least, if one of you well-written type ladies wants to give advice similar to Gramps and Banner's, it'll give all us guys the opportunity to inform you how insane you are.


Okay kids! Go slaughter turkeys and disgrace the memory of Native Americans! Drink and Play Football, too!
God, I LOVE Thanksgiving! (really. might be my favourite holiday)

in the meantime, see you on the flipside.
