there is something i don’t really understand that has happened recently in the wake of the whole terrorist crap. the compilation cd “god bless america” or whatever it’s called is #1 on billboard charts…now i realize i’m entirely unpatriotic most of the time, but really…can that many people be craving to hear the same 3 “go USA” songs over and over again that they’re running out to buy an entire cd full of them? how many times can one listen to “america the beautiful” and “god bless the USA”?….even when i considered myself to be slightly patriotic i didn’t want to hear those songs. i’m sorry, but one time is enough for hearing whitney houston sing the national anthem…and celine dion A CANADIAN!!! singing some US patriotic song…i really don’t need to hear that even once.
it was a sorta nice gesture for the NHL to conduct their preseason games by adding a rendition of “God Bless America” to the beginning of the ceremonies (or at least the Buffalo Sabres did…) but i was very glad to see it only lasted throughout the preseason. it’s over kill…oversaturation is bad. beginning economics tells u that, and i think one can apply that principle here as well. i can’t possibly be the only person really tired of it all…
i think even if i was patroitic i still wouldn’t be going and buying these cds, and craving these songs, and i’d still be quite sick of it all…
ok so there is one or two of these tribute things that i’m planning on buying (gee can u guess which ones?? “what’s going on”, and mj’s tribute thing…cuz i’m so transparent)….but they arent just various stars singing “god bless america” over and over again…at least i know the “what’s going on” one isn’t, dunno about mj….
and speaking of mj (almost entirely unrelated)…MTV premiered his “ghosts” movie last night as “Michael Jackson’s Haloween Special” LOL…and they put commercials in it…u can’t put commercials in that movie!!! it was irritating. but it was when MJ still looked sorta good LOL…he could smile and make funny faces, which he wouldn’t be able to do currently since he has lost all ability to show emotion due to the plasticness of his face. I STILL LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!
ok well i’m tired. i got woken up (out of a good u2 dream i might add) due to the sheets of torriental rain slapping against my window and the roof in front of it. why oh why did i pick this room with the roof in front of the window? it was so deafeningly loud…is that a word? deafeningly?…whatever. i think it’s nap time after i type up my dreams from last night.
