missed opportunities

today i get to write a blog while enjoying a nice itunes mix and having a huge cat try to eat my hair. i love my life. =)





so i was flipping through my ipod playlists and saw something that reminded me i had missed an opportunity. i totally forgot to make fall and/or winter jams, 2008 edition! man, that kind of sucks. i guess here shortly i'll be ready to begin compiling the tracks for spring/summer jams 2009! (we all know this collection always begins with some nelly.) so, if anyone has any suggestions, hit me up via email or text or, even better, come to my house and help me make them!





also, i guess it's time to fill the world in on the cherry pie video.





so.... i'm not sure when all of this gloriousness went down (roxanne would know much better than myself), but it WAS made in roxanne's back yard (where all horrible things happen) and it had to be at least a semi-warm day. for the life of me, i cannot remember who had access to a camcorder, but i have a feeling it had to be barnes. anyway, i guess i can just paint the picture:





barnes knows all of the words to cherry pie, which none of us are aware before the making of the film. roxanne and andrea were the camera ladies (i believe i remember a quote resembling "i am NOT going to be a part of this crap"), barnes was on center stage as the lead singer of warrant and rachel and i had the priviledge of being the "fly girls". the set up was hilarious. two camera people, the three of us on "stage" (the background was just the side of the house), and a super old cd player sitting on the bench serving as our music. (you get this so far, right? hideous.) i know the fly girls were wearing terrible hats and mardi gras beads. anyway, this video is crammed with background noise and terrible laughter.





wanna see this video?? well, you can't. you see, since the making of this video, it has mysteriously disappeared. okay, i take that back. it was witnessed a few times after its making. but since THEN it has disappeared. we all know who has it. BUT HE WON'T COUGH IT UP! i guess sometimes the best videos are left unseen.... okay, i totally don't believe that either. not having this video available is really depressing.





this video, however, is available.

i obvioiusly have no problem embarassing myself. this video was filmed by my good friend roma about 2 years ago around my birthday i believe. and, yes, that is michael jackson.

everyone have a lovely day! i always am. =)

  1. Conversation I just had with Sean after watching that video:

    Me: Wow, that is something.

    Sean: Is that something?

    Me: That IS something.

    Sean: I think that was something.

  2. The catchpa I had to type in to get that lst comment approved was "funest" and I thought that was very appropriate.

  3. No, I was definitely one of the backup dancers. I think Andrea filmed it. Barness still has it held ransom at his parents' house. WHICH IS SO UNFAIR.

    Do you also remember that other time we (me, you, Rach, Andrea, maybe Christy) were driving around Collinsville in the winter and filming it? Or the plan to make a video to "Get Out of My Dreams (Get Into My Car)" set outside the Bingo Hall? Quality.

  4. okay, it's been too long for me to remember this crap. but it was fun. that tape is in the ceiling of his parents basement or something, and that just pisses me off. it was kwality.

    yes, i do remember. then we told stupid stories. big surprise. our ideas were stupid, but funny.

    that video could have been ten times better than the cherry pie one. "lady driver, let me take the wheeeeeeel. smooth operator. touch my bumper, and let's make a deal, make it real".

    thanks, billy ocean.
