Celebrating my Son's Birthday

The glaring music that plays during the beginning of almost every DVD, you know the one declaring the evil of downloading, is my current background music. Such compelling comparisons- "You wouldn't steal somebody's puppy! You wouldn't steal used underwear! You wouldn't steal a moldy sandwich! So don't pirate movies!" So dramatic, as if the world is coming to a swifter end because of the guy slangin' bootlegs on the block. I think there are much more important things going on...

but anyway- I just wanted to quickly say what an amazing time we had celebrating my son's 15th birthday! I don't want to advertise for any game system, but we played a video game that i love!!!! And honestly I haven't played a video game for 3 hours straight in ages. I didn't believe we played 3 hours! My children, their 2 friends and I were a band. There was a microphone, guitars, drums, it was AWESOME! We did a 2 and a a half hour set! WE ROCKED! Ok sometimes we messed up, but we tried to save each other, which i guess you can do by solo-ing and really going for it. Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi was definitely the crowd pleaser, and we did have a crowd. My favorite line: "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all!" And I couldn't figure out if they thought we were all nuts or brilliant. I am going to go with brilliant. I totally want one of those at home! ! ! ! Maybe I can groom my family into a band... MWAH HA HA!!!

I wish you could add your own music in tho and get it to work! Of course they had a huge screen and a wide area- but with a disco ball and some lighting...the house wouldn't never be the same again! The walls would shake and the neighbors would start knocking. What I love most is that A. my daughter's good friend mentioned we need costumes next time! AWESOME!!!!!! I love that kid! BTW our band was called the Shimmy Shimmy Shu Shus, but we may or may not keep that.

So, I guess I should get to the DVD I mentioned at the beginning of this blog. The ads have long stopped and I do want to watch at least some of it. The other day I watched Office Space for the umpteenth time, I swear that movie gets more and more funny each time. I watched it with the subtitles for the first time and reading all the details, like the low background conversation and mumbling was an added twist.
Tonight's movie feature is Ong Bak with the astounding Tony Jaa. Did you see how he went under that truck?! And ran on those dudes shoulders?! Doing the splitz thru a hoop. Amazing. I wish I had stuck with Capoeira longer or gotten to a higher point with any physical body art form. I lacked that type of self discipline I guess. For now I will live vicariously through someone else.

Be good, and remember having fun is good! Try some, then have some more!
I might have to get out the Dance Dance Revolution tomorrow, I feel inspired!
Watch out world!
Here we come!
