Mozart and Amazing Belly Buttons
I've gotten in way over my head. I figured, "Hey, everyone has a blog! I guess I should have one too. I mean how hard can it be, right?" I should tell myself to shut up more often. It doesn't usually work though. So then I was stuck trying to write something interesting enough to read. That was back in August of last year. I guess I'm not fooling anyone anymore. It looks like I've been called out one too many times (thanks a lot Mr. Schprock!). I didn't know what I wanted my first post to be about, but Mr. Schprock has generously and helpfully taken care of that for me! How kind of him.....grumble.....grumble......
OK! No more excuses!
Three Things I Do That No One Else Knows About:
1. I cry whenever I hear or sing the hymn Amazing Grace. I am not an overly devout/dogmatic/hardline Christian. In fact, I have some very un-Christian religious beliefs. I would even go so far to admit that I walked away from organized religion for over twenty years, and have only recently returned when I became a Catholic. But there is something that is immediately stirring about this particular gospel song that brings me to tears. I was at Mass this past Sunday when this was sung. I could barely hide the tears rolling down my face. I don't understand it. I don't dislike church hymns, but I'm not a big fan either.
2. This one is really gross so I apologize...............but I absolutely can't stand a funky belly button! I keep mine absolutely squeaky clean! Every single day. I don't understand how people can harbor all those nasty gremlins in their nooks and crannies. They ain't gonna clean themselves people, take some Q-Tips to them! Am I truly the only person in the Universe to feel the same way? Well am I? Sigh.....ok, I guess I really am.....
3. Sometimes when I like a song, any song, I like to play just that one song for hours and hours and hours. I put my headphones on for this, just so everyone else doesn't go insane, and I hit the repeat button. It could be a Marilyn Manson song one day, a Moby, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Beck, Mozart, Debussy, Guns n Roses song, or even some stupid pop song from the radio. I can't just listen to it and move on. I have to completely wear it out. I've owned some CDs for years before listening to the entire thing, because I love just one or two songs on it. I don't always do this.....Hmm.....I guess I need to invest in an MP3 player.....
Well, there you have it. Not the brilliantly witty and engrossing first post that I had hoped for, but deal with it. Oh, before I forget: Consider yourself busted!
Stellar - I'm tired of seeing that decapitated head! Write something!
