Friday, August 11th, 2006 I've been surfing around at Evergreener blogs, and I always end up quite entertained by their musings. Then it always comes around to, "wait... I have a website too... oh whatever." Well not today! Today will be more than whatever! ... yeah. April and I finally got our annual passports to Disneyland! Woo-yeah! So the first thing we did was go on the new Pirates ride. Here are my thoughts: 1) Jack Sparrow doesn't look smiley enough. I mean, cmon, the character in the movie is just non-stop laughs for me. Remember when he was strapped to a wooden stake with random fruit attached to each end? GOLDEN. But on the ride, whenever I saw him, I watched intently and waited for him to make me laugh. I mean, this was the ACTUAL JACK SPARROW here. He's not on any screen anymore, man, he's right here in front of me! You'd think he'd be juggling, and balancing plates... and cracking knock-knock jokes... and.. and..... .... nothing. He did nothing! Whenever I saw him, he'd just bob around looking cool or discrete or whatever. Oh, cmon! I know Jack Sparrow, and that wasn't him. I'm not kidding. Really. 2) For anything to sound mysterious or powerful, it has to be said with a British accent. This is true. Try it. Say something ominous... like... "GIVE ME YOUR ICECREAM OR DIE". Right? Ok, I'm done. This week I ordered Kriss Kross (sp?) and Young M.C. for a few dollars online. I was playing Skee-Lo at work, and Richard was like, "This reminds me of 6th grade parties... the dancing... the kool-aid flowing..." So I realized that I don't have much of this genre of music.... friendly 80's rap? One of my hobbies is to have a good sampling of music from every genre out there. Two genres I've been in hot pursuit for, are Pirate shanties, and cowboy music? I don't know the real name for it. Just that stuff you hear in movies where the cowboy rebel dude walks into a saloon, and there's that music that's being played on an old rickety piano. That's the music I'm thinking about, before the piano player usually get's shot. At least I got to eat my turkey leg. |
