I Want to Break Free......I Want to Break Free

I am waiting. I am waiting for my chance to break free. You see it all the time. People breaking free, moving around, smiling. When am I going to lose my inhibitions?
I have decided I want to be part of an office moment where people just get up and and begin to dance. I want to race around the office in chairs pushed by project managers. I want my CEO to come down and breakdance in front of the elevator. When I make a good decision at work, I want people to come out of nowhere and dump Gatorade on my head and then we all celebrate with an endzone dance that makes the Ickyshuffle look like a waltz. I WOULD like to be a pepper too. Only I drink Diet Dr.Pepper not the regular stuff.
When is this going to happen? I go to work everyday , I pay my bills and dues. When are we going to break out in spontaneity. Maybe I don't drink enough Coke or drink the right beer. I am still waiting for the twins, I actually bought a Coors light, cracked it open, sang the song "I love football in the fall, refs that make the right call and...and twins!!!", nothing happened. No twins, just a funky beer that I don't drink.
None of my friends dance around with their Ipods, the Target dog is never in the store and thank goodness I haven't woke up with Burger King next to me, sounding like Barry White and offering me a biscuit.
I have watched these commercials with the optimism that one day these things will happen. Can you imagine just before the Thanksgiving holiday break , everyone in the building running into the skyway and throwing their papers all over? Peeling out and driving down Nicollett Mall hanging out of the windows.
I want to dive into the the wading pool at Peavey Plaza with a full suit on and have people join me. All wet and splashing and dancing with glee.
Maybe I can set up an event. I will call it a Planspoment. A Planned spontaneous Moment. I know what the word spontaneous means, but just ride with me here. We could all meet on the Plaza summer 2005. Wearing old suits, business skirts, business casual stuff items you don't mind being wet. We could do it during the summer music series, where there is sure to be lots of people. Bring your lunch, a book, a newspaper and look nonchalant. Just like you would look everyday. Then at a predetermined time we all drop our things and run into the pool and dance around. I can't remember what the name is for the gatherings that used to get organized by the web but, if someone knows please leave me a message.

The title of this entry is from the Queen song of the same name. Coke uses this during some of their before movie commercials. I think the before movie commercials are the root of all evil. I am there of my own free will, but I am trapped and forced find the "hidden" in the open Coke bottles. Listen to new songs by this Coke artist and watch the new Indie "Blair With Project" short by films students. Just give me the frickin'' preview and start the dang movie. Yes, I know there are more important things to rant about, but you can do that in your own blog. :)

Incredibly Good
Go see the Incredibles. It's an excellent movie. Written with so many people in mind that you really can't miss. Adults, kids, geeks, non-geeks, cool geeks like me (once again you can comment on you own blog ;) ). While waiting for the movie to start I overhead a father arguing with his geekspawn about Darth Vader. Hey Geekdad, your son was right. I can only hope some day my little one with have the right answer and make me proud.

"Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa, Gonna Send You Back To Arkansas Yeah Yeah Hey Hey!!!"
Ray Robinson a.k.a Ray Charles
Go see this movie. It is very very good. I will be digging out my Ray CD's yet again. I was really surprised by this movie. Jamie Fox does a dead on take of Ray. Through his joy and pain. There are parts that will make you wince, but overall you will see his genius. He proved them wrong everytime they said it wouldn't work. He made awesome music and really enjoy it.

Last entry R - 4804- N or Dreamland
One of my favorite things about being a bit of an Airplane geek is Area 51, where the aliens from ID4 (Independance day) live. That's right, Area 51. Pssst, the aliens don't really live there, they walk amongst us.
The Discovery Channel had a show last night about the area and what does or does not happen there. It was a decent show with some crazy folks, some scientists and some ex-workers. I like these shows and think it would be interesting to see what's there. I remember in the 70's there being a really crappy movie about Area 51. I am going to have to do some research and then hit the Nicollet Village video store for that cassette.
Do I believe in aliens? Not really. Do I believe there could be life elsewhere is the universe. Yes, in some corner a million and two light years from here something is sitting at their computer making an entry about life elsewhere.
Klatu Verata Nikto!!! <----- Look it up on the net.
