Be Ye of a Song Mind...

"Song Mind", not to be confused with Sun-Ming who is an exchange student from Korea.

I was sitting at the table witth a good friend of mine eating pancakes when I noticed a pattern in conversational behavior. A sentence would be orated followed by one or both of us breaking into song. Usually the songs come in clips and phrases and the selection was typically a throwback to the 80's or early 90's. There were a couple of times that songs lead to other songs back and fourth three of four times before the conversation woiuld be re-established.

What are you up to later?
I'm probably going to study at the library for a little bit.
"who just a little bit, who just a little bit (RESPECT Aretha Franklin)
How about you what are you going to do.
Well I'd like to sleep all day but...
"We don't sleep at all then we sleep all day..." (Jason Mraz)

and so on;

I thought to myself and stated to my friend, "What do normal people think about?" She said, "You mean when their sitting in class and the lecture is so boaring you have no choice but to put your self into a uphoric comma just to deal with the furrociously mundane phenomina that we call education? (or something like that)
"Yeah"
"I dunno"
"Excuse me waitress" I said, "Are you a student?"
No
Have you ever been
Yes
When you got bored in class, where did your mind go?
To what I was going to do after class, I guess. You know or plan the weekend or the afternoon or something.
Thank you so much, and could I get some more coffe when you get a sec.

You see people like my friend and I don't need I-pods and mp3 players, our heads have a never ending audio feed. Its' like having a juke box between your cerebellum and your temporal lobes. When the juke box is broken a miniature Girshwin takes over (I was going to say John Williams but Gershy was Jewish) and I start composing some great syncapated masterpiece. NORMAL people on the other hand, plan. What an amazing concept, planning, maybe I'll try it out some time. Untill next time I guess I will say goodbye...
Goo hood bye ah i he a hy (jars of clay)

What song is going through your head right now?

Putting the smooth in smoothy

He's a good man she said(one of my professors), a good Christian man, so I went over and filled out the paper-work. Three weeks later it was training day as I sat in a holiday inn meeting room I thought it strange, I was the only male new hire at a table full of young girls. Today I was acosted by one of the partners in this business. She rolled up beside me and said "can we go for a ride, we need to talk?" I got in and listened to this sweet old lady tell me that the man who had hired me and run that training session attemted suicide the night before. "Was he sick or depressed?" I asked in concern. He was sick but not in any physical way. She proceeded to tell me how this man swindled her and her husband out of over 100,000 dollars and how he is wanted for embezzelment, indentity theft, and numerous counts of freud. I was hired by a psycotic conn mann. Some how this fits so perfect with my life on ice skates.
PS here is a story I found on google about my wonderful employer...

March for Wisdom

Today is the first day of March, which is convenient for wordplay titles. I really feel like the Lord is calling me into a season of wisdom and understanding, so starting today I am going to read on chapter in Proverbs every day untul the 31st.

I encourage you all to read along with me and use this as a discussion forum. If you miss a day here or there don't worry about catching up just read the chapter that coordinates with that date. Chapter 12 on the 12th etc...

So todays reading is chapter one, I am going to try and read in the morning and post my thoughts keep an eye on the comments and watch for post edits.

Be blessed in the Lord
