The Band Journey Will Save The World

I'm serious. No stop laughing, I'm fucking serious.

I may have mentioned this theory in passing over the years. Lets face it, I'm nearing 400 posts, I can't remember every little thing I have said. If you remember this discussion at all, please just bare with me.

Now over my extensive years of drinking now.... and by extensive I mean I have been in college for fucking ever and we drink a lot. It's a fact a life, no judging now. Anywho I have noticed a propensity for the band Journey to bring together seemingly separate groups of people.

I actually conceived of this post while sitting at a bar at 4am drinking Vegas last week. That's how striking this theory is.

And it all comes down to one sole song, Don't Stop Believin'.

Every time this song comes on, in every bar or public gathering situation I have ever been in, the crowd stops what it is doing and immediately joins in singing. You can be in a literal fist fight with the guy next to you, but this song comes on and you sling your arms around each others necks and start beltin' out the course.

Here, run you're own experiment. If you're around a group of people, turn up the volume and click play. I betcha the majority of the people will either gravitate over to the screen or start humming or singing along.



See, it worked didn't it?

I really do not understand how this works. Any other song comes on and maybe you get the majority of people singing along to it. This song comes on, and EVERYONE gets into it. Shit I was in a country bar one time (don't ask) and as a joke we put this on and everyone in the freakin' country bar started singing along to it.

Using this, I think we're going about the war in the middle east all wrong. We just need to have Journey throw a concert out in Iraq or Afghanistan or wherever and play this song. Everyone will lay down arms, sway back and forth and shout; "Don't stop.... Beeelievin...."

The next time you're with a group of people and this song comes on, pay attention to everyone. It truly is rather astounding to watch.

And then you'll be thinking of me too. Muhahahahahhaha

Coca-Cola, Montel Williams and a Piece of Lint

Those three things surmised my life in the last three days. Lessons learned from the opening days of unemployment:

1) There is shit on for TV during the day. I mean utter and complete shit. Even Nat Geo is stuck playing the Dog Whisperer all day. I hate that guy.

2) You can find lint in the weirdest places. This may not be news to some, but it is news to me.

3) I can't drink regular Coke anymore. Actually I can't drink most regular sodas anymore. I think Diet sodas have corrupted me

4) My neighbors are fat. I mean like really fat. I mean fupas galore fat. It's amazing.

5) Daydreaming is nowhere near as fun when you're 24 as it is when you're 14.

6) Internet porn is overrated

7) Seven out of ten people do not stop at the stop sign on the corner I live on

8) One cannot remain nude all day in an attempt to be lazy and comfortable. Too many scary circumstances

9) Medco still sucks

10) And finally, I think I'm allergic to natural light. I've been working indoors for so long I cringe whenever it graces my skin. I think I'm going to need to purchase a nice buzzing fluorescent light to maintain my sanity.

And to think, I may have another couple months of this. Wonder what else I'll learn.

Unemployed

I survived Vegas... barely. I think they should make a rule where you can't stay longer than four days because it wears you out.

Anywho I may be taking a break from the blog for a short while. I was forced to resign from my job today (and no I did not actually do anything terribly wrong nor did I have to do with this blog) so I have some things I need to take care of.

Instead I'll leave you with a couple of pics from my trip and hopefully I won't be gone too long.

Vegas Bound Once Again

I know, y'all are thinking, "What the hell, he was JUST there!"

And you're right, it's only been about three months, but damnit it's Vegas time again! My best friend is getting hitched this coming Saturday and us, and the rest of the groomsman, are going to enjoy a week long vacation in sin city. It'll be a nice break before getting ready to pack up and move.

Actually I'm on the plane right now as this is posting. Spooky huh?

And since I finally stepped into the 21st century and added a data plan to my BlackBerry, yours truly is finally a completely mobile person. Who knows, maybe I'll write a post while sipping some fruity drink next to the pool at our hotel.

Or maybe a semi-drunken rambling at 4am at the craps table.

The possibilities are endless. I'm excited, aren't you?

The Masses Have Voted And....

Tada! Image is click-able for it's entire enjoyment, sparks and all.

I also added a bit of a stat tracker on the left side of the site. Ya know, for the three or four people who may actually be interested.

Now to try and squeeze in a race or two tonight...

Strange 'Pharmacy' Question of the Month

*Ring ring ring*

Phathead, CPhT: "Good morning, World's Shittiest Pharmacy"

Crackpot: "Hi, I have a problem with my toilet and I'd like to ask you a question"

Phathead, CPhT: "Uhhhhh, ma'am we're a pharmacy"

Crackpot: "Yea, but you sell toilet products don't you? So you should know"

Apparently during your third year of pharmacy school there will be a course on toilet repair and cleaning. Wonder what the pre-reqs will be for that...
