Christmas Present Irony

Also, my son received a game called “Medal of Honor”. It is an everyman for himself game.
Did you encounter any Christmas present irony?

When I was young, I loved to Rock. I loved metal. I’m not ashamed of that.
But as I’ve grown older, I have come to realize something. I was harsh. I was cruel. I often exclaimed that you sucked. For that I am truly sorry.
Not only have I discovered that you had your place, but I come to know what bad music really is. Now that I have experienced Hip Hop, boy bands, ex-mouseketeers, death metal and divas, I know what really sucks. You never really did.
Please forgive me, Disco. You weren’t so bad after all.
I have spent alot less time visiting all of your blogs lately. My posts have slowed down too.
Well there are some reasons for that. Yes, I am trying to move many miles away into a house that has been trashed. Yes, I am changing jobs. Yes, I have had a bad case of writer’s block. But I have to admit one major distraction. I have spent way too much time on my 20 year high school reunion website. Between the endless thread that is the guestbook and the email traffic, I can’t find a minute anymore. It is horribly addictive.
I did write this little poem that I thought some of you might enjoy.
One thing I really don’t want you to know
Is just how badly I’ve let myself go
There really is little more I can say
Than I just don’t want ya’ll to see me this way
So I gave up the lazyboy chair that I like
I now watch TV from a recumbent bike
Kettlebells, pushups and sit-ups galore
My flabby old body can’t take anymore
My body aches and I’m hungry all day
And my nasty old gut still gets in the way
Yes I truly am a terrible mess
So please take a knee and pray for my success
And when you look me straight in the eyes
Don’t be afraid to tell a few lies
Lie to me please and say I’m a hunk
And please overlook all the junk in my trunk
I am still trying to keep politics off of this blog. But, sometimes a gem just comes along.

Go figure.
Well yesterday I got a little political. Today I’ll get a little GeoPolitical.
I know this happened a few days ago but it just makes me laugh. Hugo Chavez was badmouthing the distinguished former Prime Minister of Spain Jose Maria Aznar. Imagine that. So current PM Jose Zapatero demands an apology. Good luck with that. In the middle of it all King Juan Carlos I can’t contain himself and asks, “Why don’t you shut up!”
Here is the BBC story.
This is a nice little musical parody.
