-"Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring

To start off, I'm gonna random......

-Spent a wee bit of my childhood in a toy store with my wittle hands on Garbage Pail Kids Stickers Series 4. Don't know what they are? Long, long ago, kids used to collect stickers that adults would call "gross" or "disgusting." Of course, us kids loved it and would laugh at the crazy characters the Topps Co. made up. Boogers, poop, and various items in life made it into the homes of us private Catholic schoolers. Not once were we banned from bringing them but other schools did.

-Now wearing a freakin' wife beater to work out in. It's just so hot to the point that I need to hit the gym naked. Why not? The bodybuilders prepared for tonight's competition by posing in little blue shorts yesterday. Let's just say that making your body big makes yo' weinie small, yo.

-Got stared at in the gym by a guy that seemed to be amazed at how I was standing there bicep lifting 135 pounds. It's a lot since not many people can do it, namely only us big guys. It could also be the freakish look on my face as I lift that kind of weight that the guy was staring at. I'm pretty, no?

-Need new socks. Sara's right about the holes being a little too much now. Don't you hat it when that exposed part of the skin gets all cold from floor tile? Off in search of socks soon! It's gonna be a doozy!

-Saw an old crush from work. R was very happy to see me since it's been since January. She wasn't amused to know I am happily taken while she broke up with her boyfriend recently.

-Am in the process of cleaning out the piles of old magazines underneath my bed. Yeah, I guess I admit to being a magwhore in need of Hollywood gossip gone amuck. Who else wants to learn whom Linday Lohan hates? I appluaded her refusal to allow Jessica Simpson and Ashlee into her party. However, I booed when it was told that P. Diddly survived his plane getting hit by lightning. Take him away from this earth!

Okay, I was asked by a reader on what 3 CDs I'd take with me if they were the only ones allowed. My musical tastes are not in the now but very much in my past, the 80's. It was time of fun in music in which nothing was taken as seriously as it is today. Musicians didn't brag about how many cars they owned or houses in various states. They even dressed as bad as we pitiful followers did. Just look how far Madonna came. Belly-button exposing would only take her so far.

1-The first CD I just cannot live without is "The Continuing Story Of..." by Golden Earring. The most famous song on it is "Radar Love" which is good and nice but I absolutely friggin' love "Twilight Zone" to the ends of the Earth! This song starts out slow and eerie but goes into a sudden bash of drums with a swipe of guitar. Holy shit am I loopy or what!?!

"When the bullet hits the bone."

I *think* the song "Twilight Zone" came out in 1981. Now, I was far too young to know but somewhere along the lines, I caught the video on MTV way back when they actually showed the videos. Good thing because it was so beautifully done by playing it as a detective on the run, caught, seduced, interrogated, seduced again by dancing girls (1 with a syringe!) and somewhere we end up in an opera house!

"This place is a madhouse,
feels like we're being cloned!"

What's funny is that I told Kristan about my love of the song, "Twilight Zone," and she professed her love for it as well. The bonus was us talking about the music video and how impressively original it was. As good as Human League's "Don't You Want Me" was, Golden Earring still surpassed it.

I know it's weird that I'm taking a CD with only 1 song I adore to the point I look like a complete fucking psycho but the song, "Twilight Zone" plays in my head far too many times to just flip it off. Beautifully done. I still remember taking a friend, Maria, home from college and she went nuts in the car over how cool this song was that she had never heard.

Yeah, the video continues to wreck my head with its David Lynch like appeal, the opera house and that eerie little girl staring into the camera's lens. Oh, I'd do anything to have this video on DVD!

2-Madonna's "Immaculate Collection" is constantly held up as one of the best CDs in our time. No shit. I went crazy for how beautiful so many songs are, "Crazy For You" and "Into the Groove" to name just a few. Madonna used to be one of the coolest women out there til some kooky religion took her along with her sanity. Damn, how many times did I find myself making sure no one was home and dancing along to "Into the Groove?"

"Crazy For You" was such a perfect love letter to someone that means something to you and I watched the movie this sone went with so many times, Vision Quest. A high school wrestler loses his virginity to an older woman, mostly likely 29. Now, does that sound familiar to someone's life presented here on Diaryland?

Madonna was playing in the movie Vision Quest so look for her in the bar scene as she does "Gambler" but "Crazy For You" has me melting. Louden (the wrestler) takes Carla (the woman and, oh, so sexy) onto the dance floor in all his nervousness. Even the words shared between the characters was something Kristan said to me:

"When I go, I want you to have sex with other girls so that you grow sexually. I can't be there for you, as far away as I am. Plus, you'll learn in the arms of others as well as about yourself."

Of course, there are other songs on the "Immaculate Collection" that drive me nuts. I adore "Live To Tell," the haunting theme to the movie, At Close Range. I saw that so many times with Christoper Walkin's amazingly psychotic dad portrayel. Fucked up with a beautiful twist along with Sean Penn.

"A man can tell a thousand lies.
I've learned my lesson well.
Hope I live to tell the secret,
I have learned til then.
It will burn inside of me."

I was always into sad songs so this played well into my heart along with the video of a very cleaned up Madonna singing in a darkened area. It's too bad that she took her music into a whole new direction, boring.

3-Guns N Roses's "Use Your Illusion II" is my third. It has one of my favorite songs of all time that tell my many sad points in life:

"When you're talking to yourself
and nobody's home
you can fool yourself
you came in this world....alone."

-"Estranged"

Again, I love a CD for 1 song that I can play over and over? Yup. That was me in Axl's place while the video had people decked all in white to storm his house looking for him. That would be me, completely depressed or saddened, escorted out.

"So, nobody ever told us, baby
how it was gonna be.
So, what'll happen to us, baby?
Guess we'll have to wait and see."

Yeah, that video spoke to me but I could do without the dolphins (Axl's obsession) and waste of money to send himself overboard of a ship. I just loved the complete sadness of how it began in introducing how a person can get lost in this world.

Of course, we could also go with "You Could Be Mine." The grooviest line:

"I'm a cold heartbreaker
fit ta burn and I'll rip your heart in 2
And I'll leave you lying on the bed."

It just has this cool sense of anger that I had when it came to my ex-girlfriends at the time. A part of me just wanted to leave them and see if I can cause pain for all they did to me.

"With your bitch slap rappin'
and your cocaine tongue
you get nothin' done."

It's too bad Guns N Roses disbanded all because of Axl's enormous ego. They could have been bigger than the Rolling Stones, a band I still have not figured out as to why it is popular. Aerosmith is a very hard greatness to reach for GNR but even that could be possible.

Honorable Mention? I'm in love with Don Henley's CD, "Building the Perfect Beast," thanks to "Boys Of Summer." That song is breathtaking to play as you drive home on a hot August day or anytime you reminisce of days gone by.

"I can see you,
your brown hair shining in the sun."

Funny how I hated "Boys Of Summer" for some time since it played on MTV and VH1 to the point that I was waiting for my favorite shows. Now, I cannot get enough of it. The video was so well done and simple enough that I wish music videos today had the imagination there once was.

Yeah, I'm an old fuddy duddy when it comes to music. Nothing but Garbage, Sozzy, or Hooverphonic gets to me when it comes to current music. Debbie Gibson, one of the best teen idols of the past, had far more talent than anything out there. "Foolish Beat" will get me everytime, just like Madonna's "Crazy For You" so it was a hard decision. Sara laughed at how I talked about Bananarama while in a used record store. Does anyone else remember "Venus" or "Cruel Summer?" Probably not.

So, that is that. I've talked of my 3 CDs that I'm sure to be laughed at in choosing but I love 'em. If anyone can get the music video of "Twilight Zone" for me, I'd be much obliged in letting you play with my nipples. Go ahead. I'd bet you'd wanna give 'em a tweak, love. Tomorrow is an entry on nudity! Now, go practice getting naked! Goodnight.
