The other day I was listening to a "nationally syndicated morning radio talk show" (Mouthful much?) and they had a segment on "Guilty Pleasures: Music". Where each of them (and the losers who called in) listed their musical guilty pleasures. These are the songs that you are either ashamed you love to sing along to or love to hear in the car, etc.
They had some pretty lame-o songs. A Kelly Clarkson tune, something by Men At Work - oh, that "When I Think About You, I Touch Myself" song (good song btw) and a few others. My deal, is that I really pondered this whole thing. Music is just too important to me to just drop any over-played song and call it a guilty pleasure. I wanted to really think of a song that I enjoy listening/singing along to that is what some might call "embarrassing". You know the kind of song that would make someone actually look at me with that mixed look of fear and pity. Fear of being seen with me and pity for my obvious delight over an atrocious song. Bet you want to know the name of the song now don't you? Well, I'm not going to tell you. But I am going to sing it for you.
In an audial blog I've created for all the songs I like to sing-a-long to.
Check it out here.

In other news, I am reading my Burger King cup from lunch (I had to go to the Dollar Store for work-related business so I decided to grab some junk food on the way), and on the cup it reads
This cup makes a statement about you. (Uh, yeah, that I like to eat junk food, so what!) It's says "Hey, look at me, I'm an ambitious yet responsible person." (How the hell does it say that? Oh wait, you're going to tell me. This oughta be good.) You could have gone larger, but you didn't. (Are we talking about a soda or fake boobs here?) You could have gone smaller, but again, you deferred. (Psh, smaller?!? What for?) No, you know exactly what you want in life, nothing more, nothing less. (Wow, Burger King is like the Dalai Lama now.) It's good when you HAVE IT YOUR WAY.

Reason #118 to be Jealous of Thatgirl7278's Job:
I'm going bowling on Friday. And it's work sanctioned. In fact, my boss, my boss' boss, and my boss' boss' boss will be there too. Nah, really, it'll be fun. The true test will be who buys me a beer afterwards. I'm banking on my boss' boss' boss (since he already has!).

The song I referred to above (hehehe) is the ever popular hit "She's Like The Wind" by Patrick Swayze. Made famous by a little movie you may have heard, called Dirty Dancing. I friggin' LOVE to sing that song! I will even curl my hand into a fist and slowly bring it close to my chest when the music swells. Because as we all know, only the best "sing-a-longers" have choreography.

I saw Brokeback Mountain this weekend. *Possible spoiler ahead, be advised.* And The Roommate kept getting after me because I would make silly comments during the beginning of the movie. It was just a bit of harmless teasing tho. What took every ounce of strength I had was NOT belting out "I'll never let go Jack" towards the end of the movie (Jake G.'s character was named Jack, btw). But I held tight (eww, bad pun). Besides - like my Burger King cup says "I'm an ambitious yet responsible person" and I couldn't go out like that.
