This particular tune showed up in my YouTube feed a couple weeks ago but I was bombarded for a while of GREAT random songs so I just posted them on Facebook and figured I would get back to them and post them on my blog.
it seems that this one is fitting today because my body is adjusting to the weather change of the seasons and I cannot warm up! Thank God that my brother, Jimmy, brought a rebozo for me yesterday. I have been wearing this since he brought it and I texted him today saying that I feel like our Abuela. She was always called with afghans around her constantly.
So today, I am, “Grabbing my guts” and just trying to warm up. I am finding to warm up. This song seems especially appropriate:
I finished my, “Slow Walk” of The Umbrella Academy yesterday, or rather, this morning. I know that I am late to the party but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I can’t wait for the third season to come out but since I am finished, I will just have to. It was pretty consistent throughout the two seasons that Klaus is my favorite!
I will say that I am more of an *NSYNC girl rather than The Backstreet Boys but I did laugh when this song played:
Made me laugh both times that he referenced this song as well:
I don’t know that I fully appreciated him until he described himself as, “Sexy Trash” though!!! 😂😂😂 The show has the BEST soundtrack!
I STILL have not gotten my haircut on since the beginning of the pandemic because of my immuno compromised self. I have taken pictures of my hairs growth since the quarantine began. I don’t know the dates of these pictures but this is the world that’s far:
Before I share the picture I took today, I want to explain that I always have a long hair and I remember one time in kindergarten, my Mom was not there to get me ready for school so my Dad did it. He asked me how my Mom normally fixes my hair for school and I lied and told him that she just lets me keep it, “Long and Flowing.” Let me go to school with my hair down.
My hair in grade school was extremely long and even though I was short, my hair was pretty much in my butt the whole time I was there. Well, that was a mistake to leave my hair down and I learned that that day!
My hair today reminded me of seeing System of a Down perform BYOB on Letterman (I think) in 2005. This music really isn’t my bag but I thought of the singer who yells at the beginning before the lead singer begins singing one so I looked at how my hair looks now:
My hair is starting to get long and it is super annoying and I hate having told Jesse so many years ago that I missed having a ponytail. After I took this picture, and put my hair in a ponytail and put my hoodie on:
So, now that my hair is, “Long and Flowing” now because I have not been to the salon to get it cut, my eyebrow is completely overgrown now too! But I am too proud to take a picture of that!
I seem to be on a one-week delay for songs that and only show up in my YouTube feed. I share them on Facebook so I don’t forget to post them. This gem was a deep dive, about 20 years. Probably even longer because this was freshman and sophomore year. It reminds me of my friend Erica:
It made me smile and I didn’t know why it showed up except for the fact that Big Brother knew that I needed to smile then and I smile now as I post this.
I have a very vivid memory of being at a stoplight in Ford Road and Shaffer and on my way to my Parents’ house. I must have already had Sean but I guess I was going to pick him up. I was stopped and watched as a worker was drilling on the median I think.
My windows are rolled down and I looked over as I was opening my bottle of water. The man stopped for a moment and I almost gave him my water before I took a drink. Then, the light turned green and I drove away. I still feel bad about not giving that man my water! This song was playing on the radio as I contemplated giving that man my water:
So, last night, I started season 2 of, The Umbrella Academy and low and behold, this song made an appearance but it was it cover. And I think this is my FAVORITE cover so far! If it because ultimately, I, myself, I am STILL crazy!!!:
So, last night I watched episode 9 and 10 of season 1 of, The Umbrella Academy. I really did not think I could be EVEN MORE mind blown; but, I WAS!!! I stayed up until past 2:30 this morning to finish both episodes! I really am loving this soundtrack by the way!
I just saw episode 8 of season 1 of TheUmbrellaAcademy late last night and I’m pretty mind blown! I’ve asked Sean about it but he will not tell me any information. I’ve written before that I am, “Slow Walking” this show so it will take some time and tonight I will watch episode 9 of season 1. I looked up this song on YouTube because I wanted to hear the guys who specifically saying this song in episode 7?:
After episode 8, I have SO many questions but I just have to watch the show…
Thursday has been my favorite day of the week for a really long time and I kind of like the whole #ThowbackThursday thing! I am recently changed over a lot of my pictures in my phone to my iCloud account. I was searching for a certain picture and I came across this gem:
This picture wasn’t the throwback picture I was looking for but it startled me a little bit. I think I was a junior in high school and I was still driving then. I used to love wearing my Doc Martens which I haven’t been able to in almost 2 decades. So I shared this one on Facebook but continued looking for the picture I wanted. I finally found it and posted it on Facebook as well. It is the ultimate #TBT:
This picture was a screenshot of a home video my cousinT shared on Facebook. My friend from high school sent the screenshot to me and I really like it! So, this #ThrowbackThursday I shared two pictures on Facebook. The picture of me and Sean was taken probably about three years later than the first picture I shared but I also commented that this picture has a soundtrack and I shared two songs that remind me of my life back then:
And I couldn’t share this song without sharing another one that reminded me of Sean being this young:
So, all day today, I have been thinking about my able-bodied self. I do have a tinge of sadness seeing these pictures and hearing these songs but I won’t dwell and then so much because it’s Thursday! And that IS my favorite day of the week!
I’ve written about me, “Slow Walking” binging The Unbrella Academy a few days ago. Well, last night I watched episode four of season one. And in that episode, I heard a song that I hadn’t heard or thought of in forever!
I posted a video of that song on Facebook at 1:26 in the morning and wrote that I hadn’t heard nor thought of that song in 15 years:
Well, I misspoke earlier this morning about this song. It has been 16 years since I have heard or thought of this song. When it was receiving radio play, I was 22 and driving. I was also walking and intermittently using Canadian crutches. I kept them in my car in case I needed them.
This song has been in my head since last night before I fell asleep. It jas played in my head constantly and I’ve watched the video probably eight times so far. As I re-counted seeing the episode to Sean, I begin to cry. I think there are so many reasons that I can be crying regarding this song because that part of the episode was tough to see but my life is so different now! I saw another version of this song specifically about The Umbrella Academy and my tears have continued:
I know that I am late to the party but I also highly recommend this show like my brother and son recommended it to me. It’s so good and the soundtrack is nice as well!!!
Last Friday, a little bit after midnight, I came across this video in my YouTube feed And I shared it on Facebook. and I shared it on Facebook. I haven’t heard this song in years! Hearing it, took me back to my teaching days when I was still going to Barwis Methods…:
