Random-ness


Well, crap. Missed a whole week. Didn't mean to do that. But like I said earlier, I've only got one (1) follower, and I don't think the well-educated masses will be too disappointed if I miss a few days.

On to the random-ness...

Had the windows open tonight, and the wife says, "What's that noise?" I told her I thought it sounded like a storm siren (although why would we hear a storm siren at 10:30 PM in June?) Of course, it WAS a storm siren, from just down the road in Norman. Crap. Now I gotta pause the movie that the kids were watchin' and turn on trusty ol' NEWS9. Hook-echo-lookin' thing near Lake Thunderbird. Fairly close, as far as ROTATIONS go, but it was moving away from us. Good. I love Oklahoma, but man, does it EVER stop?

Interviewed Wanda Jackson a couple days ago. THE "QUEEN OF ROCKABILLY." Very cool lady. I mean, she toured with Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash--how could she NOT be cool? She's still goin' strong at 70-somethin. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. She even sang "Fujiyama Mama" for me sittin' in her living room. How many people can say that?

Sometimes it seems my life is a never-ending stream of cut-off notices. You feel me, dontcha? C'mon...don't be ashamed...I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YA!

Sometimes, "Money's Tight, Don't Feel Right." (By the way, that's another Earth, Wind, and Fire reference--look it up.)

And when you pay by phone, because you ain't got TIME, you gotta put up with that stupid automated voice--"Is that correct?" Yes. "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that." YES. "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that." YES! And so it goes, and so it goes.
Man, it can only get better.

And here's proof--the online story I posted about Wanda Jackson. http://www.news9.com/Global/story.asp?S=10518140
