Mild Devotion To Majesty

• The new album from the 22+ member Rock Choir that is The Polyphonic Spree is one of the most dynamic experiences I've ever had. We all admit it's a gimmick, one that has encased itself in all sorts of grandiose trappings, and even trapses in and around religious language as if 22+ people dancing and jumping around singing in robes wasn't enough. Yet, it's totally original and the fact the lyrics are the epitomy of cheese makes it just that much better, and I love it. I mean, a rock choir, who'd have thunk?
  
  
• While we're on the topic of who'd have thunk rock bands, anyone want to join my INXS cover band, The Seeds Of Lust? I think we're going to have a 4-person band playing nothing but wood block and squeezing cats to make them hiss and meow in tune. It should be beautiful.
  
  
• I just had a dream in which I was sitting around a campfire, and I started singing this song I made up called "Jesus went out for some chili". And everyone laughed. But it was only a dream. SO, if possible, I'd like you all to laugh now to somewhat bring it here and now into reality. Some really hot girls were laughing and looking voluminously at me as well, so if all the females would laugh especially, I'd feel reaffirmed in my conviction that dreams really can come true! As for the staring part, looking voluminously at the words on your computer monitor would just be plain ole' freaky. So, instead, please look for a long time at your closest loved male, and don't tell him why, look until he notices and says something, and then tell him "I stared at you as a proxy for the love I was instantly infused with for Robb at his witty and amazing song called "Jesus Went Out For Some Chili". And then report back here their reaction.
  
  
• I've been dieting recently. Since Sunday actually. I have lost 10 pounds in 3 days, which only speaks to how unhealthily I was living before. But, let it be said that I'm glad I didn't do Atkins. The hybrid diet I composed seems to have given me an amazing amount of energy, and I'm MUCH more able to think clearly and distinctively. In addition to being a little more slender, and a little more buff (90 minute+ workouts are an essential part of this diet) I have trumped my fellow employees many a time in debate recently. Hurrah! Sadly, a little more slender still results in me looking "freaking massive", but oh well.
  
  
• I went to Wal-Mart again on sunday, and didn't play any tricks. But, I was buying stuff mainly for this aforementioned diet thing. However, occasionally I'd see something unhealthy that I wanted, and I'd rationalize that if I only ate the small serving amount, it'd be okay on days where I'd eaten light otherwise. But, I felt guilty, and tried to intersperse the bad in between helpings of baby carrots, salad fixins, and shredded wheat. The best was when I sent the 25 pound weights and bar and the jump rope through, and sort of hid the terribly unhealthy cookies I'd bought underneath them all..as if the lady wasn't going to scan it all, and thus see it all, anyway.
  
  In a way, I picture that lady working at Wal-Mart at 11 PM at night to be God. And this is the game I play with Him all my life. Except, that Lady wasn't crucified, or like, really spiteful to me way back in the day but cool now.
  
  But, if I carry the analogy, the fact that when I got done she gave me my total and said "Um, very distinctive! heh. Are you in med school?" when I was finished gives me an interesting picture of my God. Like most of what He says, I really have no clue what that means..nearing a compliment, yet, so close to a bitter barb.
  
  
• I think Anchorman was easily the most hillarious movie I've ever seen in my life. To this day, some 4 days after I first saw it, I still sit here and occasionally think of scenes, and crack up while sitting here at my desk. Not a chuckle, a full on laugh, the kind of laugh you normally only give when everyone else is laughing so you have no reservations. I love carpet. I love Lamp. I love....lamp.
  
  
• And finally, with They Might Be Giants new CD, I exclaim,
  "I was all out of luck like a duck that died
  I was all out of juice like a moose denied
  I was all out of money like a bunny that's broke
  I was all out of work like a jerk who's a joke
  
  And I was out of ideas like I is, like I is.
  Like I is, Like I is, I was out of ideas."
