Can I Hear That Again?

Those of you that read this that have known me outside of the interweb are probably aware of my proclivity for repetition when it comes to music. Yep, I'm the guy who used to wear out cassette tapes if there was one particular song on it that I really, REALLY liked. I distinctly remember it happening with my copy of  Tom Petty & the Heatrtbreaker's "Long After Dark"...the song in question ? "Change of Heart. LOVED that tune...Still do. of course, The destruction of the tapes ceased with the advent of the cee dee( and now the iPod).

  Some songs have a short life in this obsessive listening, others keep coming back, again and again.

  Now, this is not a complete compulsion...For the most part, I will not subject other people to this "personality trait", at least not in it's purest form(the repetition of one song over and over). Sure, sometimes My Special Lady has to put up with it, but that was in the contract...She's locked in.

 Sometimes people might be indirectly subjected to it. I'm pretty sure I annoyed some roommates in college(I'm pretty sure I listened to the "Hair" soundtrack for about a week straight in my dorm), maybe some neighbors, and almost definitely people who have worked near me in offices.

  Sometimes people are subjected to it on a slightly wider scale...I might create a mix(or a "playlist" as they are now called) and if you are around me a lot, you may hear that playlist A LOT, but it will often be 1 100 songs or so, so the repetition isn't quite as acute.

  Why am I telling you all this ? Because something is happening, and I think there are two possible reasons( and they are not mutually exclusive)...First, I will share with you what is happening...MY four and half year old daughters do this as well. We will hear a song, and they will want to hear it again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
  And I figure this means one or both of these things are correct...

  1. I am karmicly paying for my annoyance of other people with my repetitiveness.

 2. This is some sort of genetic anomaly that I have passed on to my children.

 What's that ? You want to what our current obsessive songs are? Very well:

Four Score and Sev...Oh Wait,It Was Just 4 Years Ago....

September 10th, 2005...My 35th birthday, and the day that our beautiful twin girls joined us on this ride...What can I say...I was owned at 12:40p.m., and then again at 12:41. They drive me crazy, give me headaches...And make every single day better by their existence...Happy 4th birthday, girls, you are still the best birthday present ever..

  And as has been tradition, here's the recap of that day 4 years ago:

9/10/05

Yo Yo Yo, It's MC Berfday !!!!!

I really wanted to find a picture of MC Berfday from the Simpsons(also appeared as MC Safety w/ The Caution Crew), but apparently, I am the only person on the planet with a jones for MC Berfday.

So I will not have MC Berfday to help me wish a happy birthday to my glorious 3 year olds, RLB & LAB.( can you tell I like writing the words MC Berfday ?)

Perhaps, in lieu of MC Berfday, I will quote Los Beatles....

"Bew neuw neuw neuw neuw neuw
You say it's you birthday
Bew neuw neuw neuw neuw neuw
It's my birthday too,yeah
Bew neuw neuw neuw neuw neuw
They say it's your birthday
Bew neuw neuw neuw neuw neuw
We're gonna have a good time"


Three years ago today, I received the best birthday present ever. Here is the birth story.

What can I say about them ? They drive me crazy, and I fall more in love with them everyday.

Happy birthday girls... I love you.

Happy Birthday....

So, my twin daughters are 2 years old today.

Here's a little something I wrote for their birthday last year.

I don't want to get too corny or silly on you. I'll just say that I love them to death. They are the best things that ever happened to me(them and their Mom), and they will always be the best birthday present EVER.

RLB and LAB, I love you. Happy birthday!!
