the soundtrack of my life (abridged)

alright so i wrote a whole blog about the ridiculousness of my day and how i spent it running into things, barely completely sentences, tripping over cords and nearly falling on children, and of course chest planting stamp pads onto my nice white shirt. i proceeded to talk about walking in on some poor woman in the bathroom and not even apologizing-just saying "whoopsidaisy" and walking away and how i called 'harry and david' 'harry and potter' about 4 times before my mom made me realize i was a spazz. all of which got deleted, b/c the internet can bite me. well that's not why it got deleted, but that's what i have to say about it getting deleted. i then proceeded to tell you about how when i have bad days i like to sing. one song in particular usually comes to mind. 'old man tucker.' it's from mrs. corey's music class. back at forest elementary (racoon's in the hizzouse!). 'old man tucker was a mighty man, washed his face in a frying pan, brushed his teeth with a wagon wheel, had a toothache in his heel. get out the way old man tucker, get out the way old man tucker, get out the way old man tucker, you're too late to get your supper" (and scene). and how when i was singing it today i kinda questioned whether it was tucker or not so i looked it up only to find out it's not old MAN tucker, it's old DAN tucker. at that point i really didn't even have the heart to check the rest of the words-- 20 years i've been singing a song incorrectly. 20 effin' years, man. who does that?

and that's the blog i wrote you. only this was the cliffs notes version. i'm too tired to write it all again. i really just want to go to bed and end this day. 20 years. [sigh]

that is only one of many in the hit list of songs sung wrong. Remember bad moon on the rise sung as(bathroom on the right)and many other great hits. I like the christmas carol hark hear harold angel sing. oh well have a great day. It snowed here overnight so Im going out to shovel the darn white stuff.
