Bust a Move

Señor Counsell just seems like he'd be good at dancing. Evidence of this statement includes:

Exhibit A-
Exhibit B-
Exhibit C-
Exhibit D-
Exhibit E-
Ok I could go on but I think it's starting to come across creepy...or just observant. Naw. A little creepy.

So do you believe me now?

One of my favorite songs that plays at work on pretty much a daily basis is "Do You Believe Me Now"

Granted it's not a typical song that I like. But for some reason I enjoy it while at work. Maybe because it's easy to sing to and I always sing while at work. I have a terrible voice but that does not stop me. Maybe it's because it sounds good against the empty aisles. It does. I don't think it could be called an echo or even a ringing but for some reason it fills the store quite nicely. I enjoy that. So I sing. And I sing bad.

Typical times you'll find me singing include: while bagging, while walking through the aisles or while walking to get cigarettes. I even sing at the register too but most of the time that's in more of a hushed tone. All the other times I sing loud and proud. Well, not really but I sing more above a whisper. I get singing quite loud while in the aisles. I'll turn a corner singing and there stands a manager. Then it's a "Uh yeahhh about that..." moment and I just walk away. Oh, I whistle more while checking. Except I can't whistle so it's a really feeble/weak/poor sound but I try.

One of my other favorites to sing? "Your Love" by The Outfield. Josie's on a vacation far away! Come around and talk it over, so many things that I want to say, you know I like my girls a little bit older. I just want to lose your love toniggggggght! I don't want to lose your love toniiiiight!
Another reason I like that song? Frank Catalonatto's at bat song last year. Yes, I've blogged about that before. Yes, I'm going to miss him this year.

Another song that gets a lot of people singing is Elton John's "I Guess that's Why They Call It the Blues" Time on my hands! Could be time spent with you!

Yeeahhhh. They play a whole variety there. Some good, some bad. Some great, some that make me want to scream. Phil Collins I'm looking at you on that last one. Some I'm just ashamed of liking and some I just like to sing to. Like "The Circle of Life."

Man, that's two Elton John songs in one blog post. Yikes.

So yeah...that's, uh, it. Mmhm.

ETA OH! Speaking of singing! Does anyone else remember Preparation H Raymond from Late Night with Conan? Anyway he always sung a song and I always start to sing the "Raymond's here! Raymond's here!" part whenever I see a manager for the first time in a day. Why? Cause guess his name.

Oh here's video of Prep H Ray on Conan.

Hey did you know he's from...

What is with people and telling me where Craig Counsell is from?

Seriously. What is with that? Any time someone finds out he's my favorite player the conversation goes something like this.

Me- blah blah blah Craig Counsell is my favorite.
Person-Counsell eh? He's a good guy.
Me-Yeah.
Person-You know he's from Wisconsin?
Me-(internal sigh) Yeah.
Person-Whitefish Bay!
Me-Uh huh.

And this is how I'd prefer the conversation to go.

Me- blah blah blah Craig Counsell is my favorite.
Person-Counsell eh? He's a good guy. (apparently I talk to a lot of Canadians)
Me-Yeah.
Person-You know he's from Wisconsin?
Me-YES!
Person-Whitefish Bay.
Me- I FREAKING KNOW HE'S FROM MOTHER F-ING WHITE-FRIGGIN-FISH BAY! I'm no casual fan! My favorite player is Craig Counsell moron! He doesn't exactly top the list of favorite players! I know my shit!

Su-heriously! What is with that?

Brett Favre! You know he's from Mississippi right?

I pity the fool who next says that to me. I might lash out irrationally, Neil. (what movie?!)

See this whole thing came about today at work when I was looking at my pocket Brewer schedule (So I have one...or two. Don't you judge!) And made a comment about how I get a free magnet schedule on Opening Day. This sparked a convo with a coworker that lead to me saying that I'm going to have to break down and buy that Craig Counsell jersey this year finally. (those bitches are expeeeeeeeensive!) Anyway. Besides the whole you know he's from Whitefish Bay thing I learned that I might have to prove to said coworker that I know my stuff. I don't watch the game cause I like it when they bend over to field a grounder. That's just an added bonus.

Oh and btw. While he might be considered a native son of Wisconsin, the dude was born in Indiana. Look in the media guide or even the active roster on the web site, suckers.


.....I feel creepy now....

BURN!

I officially hate Shamrocks.

I hate them.

HATE THEM.

I hate everything about them (except shamrock shakes!). They are driving me to drink. Seriously. They are. I drank Guinness because it only seemed fitting.

Why do I hate them? Two words: Water Tower. Another three: 30 minute bitchfest. Another four: At eleven at night.

Ugh. Here's what I think of shamrocks now:
They are the devil. Plan and shittin' simple.

Eirinn go freaking brach!

Baby Games

Look! Manny Parra (far right) likes to lead some of the pitchers in playing So Big!
How big is Manny? Soooooo big! Aw, what a big boy he's becoming!

Oh and speak of babies/toddlers. Today at the store there was this little boy, probably around three years old, and he was having a hissy fit. Good. God. It was so bad that everyone on the front end was looking around and doing those "oh I pitty that mother" looks. You know the ones. I told one of the managers after they left that was enough to make someone not want kids. Yikes. The lady didn't even try to shut him up. Though out in the parking lot she was singing to him which appeared to be working.

Right.

How big is Manny?

Soooooo Big!

What in the....

Did Corey Hart tattoo the back of his hand?!
Who does that?! I've seen little ones on the hands but a huge thing like that? That's just tacky.

Great News!

Great news! Another dream shattered! My bubble? Busted!

Ah yes. Hello reality. You cruel bitch.

On a totally separate note, shamrock shakes? Just as amazing as I remembered! Slightly bummed I'm currently not hunched over in agonizing pain because of it. But upon further reflection, no. I'm not really that bummed. And I think I need another.

Yeah. I do. Oh and I need some Guinness. Drat. I should have bought some while in town...

By the way, Brewer season starts in less then a month. Holla! And you better believe I'm there for Opening Day!

Excuse me. It's time to go burn somethings.
