I like the part where he says “Tattoo Too” I really like this song, but don’t really like the video.
Supposed to be “a song that describes you”. I don’t know any song that describes me, but when this song first came out, before I even heard it, people were telling me it reminded them of me. I was surprised how many people..
Then I heard it and pretended not to know what they were talking about. Except when I was very young, starting to try to learn about relationships, I used to say I had “Shields” and nobody could hurt me because they couldn’t get inside my “shields”. Dumb I know. Those shields are probably why I never had anything that even remotely resembled a successful relationship till I was 30!
I would like to know what the words to this song mean to you.
day 11 – a song from your favorite band.
The White Stripes – ‘Icky Thump’
The White Stripes are a pretty good band I think. Very seldom do you find a two piece band. Although I don’t really have a ‘favorite band’ I like almost all this bands songs.
Nazareth Whiskey Drinkin’ Woman
USS Somers ~ 1982
AMC Gremlin, ~ 1970
day 03 – a song that makes you happy
Oddly enough, this song always makes me smile and puts me in a good mood. The band, Garbage, is one of the greatest bands of all time.
The name of the song it “I’m Only Happy When It Rains”
This video has some weird stuff in it, so I hope you can handle it, and that you like it!
On Facebook, there’s this thing going around called 30 Day Song Challenge. I decided to do an abridged version. I eliminated days I didn’t want to do, like “my least favorite song”. Why would I post songs that I don’t like? Plus, Thirty freekin’ days…. Cheeze, that’s a long time! So I needed to cut it down at any rate.
Here’s the list of what I’ll be doing for the next eleven or so days.
I hope you enjoy this and will keep coming back (and commenting)
FedEx is out! They suck. The delivery sucks, the customer service sucks. I ordered critical piece of equipment for my job. They sent it FedEx. I’m tracking it. It took off from Memphis to Miami at 4:49 AM April 22. Apparently it never arrived. It must still be on the plane, which must be still in the air, over two days later
.I called customer service and yes, it’s still in transit. They don’t have any information, and can’t do anything. Their tracking is obviously inaccurate.
I paid for overnight service, and my invoice says overnight service, but Fed Exs’ website has Apr 28 as a delivery date. So my guess is that my package is sitting in Miami, waiting for the 27th. I told that to the customer service agent, and apparently he couldn’t grasp what I was telling him.
My experience with UPS has been, once your package is in the system, they get it to you as soon as they can. The fact that I have so little to say about UPS is a good thing. I like tracking my packages down here, and going to pick them up.
So from now on, if I have a choice, I’m going with UPS all the way.
I was looking at some of my old posts and I saw one from June 2005 about music and I mentioned the song Don’t Kill The Whale, by Yes. I saw this band twice on their Tormato tour, 17 days apart, in 1978. First at the Capital Center in Landover Maryland, and again at I-don’t-know-where in Kansas City. It was a truly great show. (The song, Don’t Kill The Whale, is on the Tormato album). The stage was in the center of the arena floor, and it rotated.
The Capital Center
Here it is, Friday! My first day off in a long time, it seems like. I need to mow the yard, wondering if the mower will start. Since we’ve had no rain, I haven’t had to mow for so long…. Here in Cayman, Friday (today) and Monday are holidays. This is a long weekend. All the campers are at the beach this weekend. The Wife is off today, but working tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow would be a better day to mow. (Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow, I always say!) Oh yeah, my old boss contacted me about going over to do a job where I used to work. I went over to do an assessment and give an estimate on repairing and pointing a satellite dish. So I went yesterday, and everyone pulled me aside and told me how much they missed me and how poorly things are going since I’ve been gone. Made me feel good.
I predict they will use my information to try to fix the dish and point to the satellite again.
I really liked my Canon SX 1, but when I got it, it had a problem, it would give me a low battery warning and shut down with new batteries. I sent it in for warranty repair, and they fixed it. But when I got it back, it had white flecks in the pictures, probably from dirt on the CMOS photo chip.This time, their service system seems all screwed up. I want to send it back for repair, and they keep saying they can’t find my camera using the FedEx tracking number. WTF?!!?
