12:34:56 p.m. 7/8/09

Nothing important to say.  Just that today is an historic day if you're in to numbers.  Today on 7.8.09 at exactly 12:34 and 56 seconds the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 appeared in succession. I would have made a post at 12:34:56 but I was too busy staring at the clock with my mouth open thinking, "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!"  So instead I created this post at 4:56 pm.  Not a bad comeback. The next time this phenomenon happens will the exactly 100 years from now.  Hopefully by then we'll all be dead.  Just about every disaster ever predicted will be happening then and trust me, you don't want to be around.   

Speaking of disasters has anybody seen Justin Timberlake around lately?  I would guess his career is in the crapper now that Michael Jackson bit the dirt.  Between he and Usher I don't know which one stripped all their moves off of him more.  Did you folks see Usher perform at the memorial show yesterday?  I thought he was very good.  A very touching tribute.  No Justin anywhere to be found though from what I could see.  He's back at the drawing board probably channeling James Brown for a brand new bag. 

And now on to brand new bags.  "The boss" asked me for song suggestions.  You know, songs that can be added to the wedding band repertoir that I would like to sing.  Honeslty I couldn't think of any on the spot when he asked me.  I do know that the folks we've performed for so far like dance music.  They want to kick off their shoes and cut a rug to some fast paced tunes, motown, disco, etc.  We announce a slow song and everyone groans. That's what they start shouting at us from the dance floor during the awkward silences between tunes.  I tell you, these patrons are aggressive.

So I sent in some songs I generally like to dance to.  Stuff I put in the CD player to get me in the mood when I'm readying to go out.  Not willing to stop there I figured I'd turn on the radio to hear what the kids are listening to now.  All the music out now is crap.  I can't believe it.  Not one song was worthy of anybody wanting to play.  Even P!nk let me down and she's always been good for dance tune.  I suggested a few of hers that I knew of but her songs lately?  Not really danceable.  Same with Kelly Clarkson.  I thought I'd suggest "Walk Away" for one of our sets.  I didn't hear anything danceable from her either.  Just more beat salad from Lady Gaga.  The problem with a lot of these songs is they are so vulgar.  You can't do them at weddings with grandparents and kids crawling about.  "If You Seek Amy" is definitely out.

Well since I don't have much else to say I guess I'll leave you all with some recent pictures.  I went to Orlando Florida two weeks ago for a convention.  Gawd I wish I could go back there, it was a lot of fun.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip and what I'm looking like lately.  Also a few close ups of my hair.  I sprayed glitter in it for a festive look.  Let me kinow what you think.
