I decided to try and clean up my diet this weekend and am not having a fun time this morning.  I have found that you cannot give up things that are bad for you sometimes without actually feeling worse before you feel better.

Not a revelation for sure.   But the headache I woke up with this morning!  Refined sugar is a beast.  And it will not go quietly.

YouTube really is quite entertaining.  When I am out and about I sometimes will dial in to some comedy or a wonderful music video from the past.   This morning I have been distracting my brain from the pain by looking at some old Beatles interviews.  There are quite a few of them and they are fascinating.  I listened to Patty Boyd talk about her amazing love life with two famous musicians.  I also discovered the George was having an affair with Ringo’s wife!   Who knew?  What a complicated and untenable situation.

And then there is a video of Paul talking about how he met Linda.

No wonder YouTube is so popular.  Hopefully it and the TubeTube will get along and have a good working relationship in the future.

Here’s the link in case anyone would like to look at it.

I have been putting a lot of videos up here lately and think I will give the blog a rest.  I put together a couple of more videos and they are on my YouTube homepage here:

As you can see if you go there I become obsessed with someone and collect a lot of videos about them.  First it was Jordin Sparks.  Now it’s Craig Ferguson.

Women (and perhaps some guys too) put together these tribute videos of Craig.  And I enjoy them for some reason.  I’m trying to figure out why.  The fact that they think he is sexy really doesn’t mean much.

I don’t have a gay bone in my body just for the record and stay clear of other people’s alimentary canals having enough trouble with my own.  But I admire him and probably wish my life in the the thirties or forties was more like his.  He is a funny guy and also had the guts to give up alcohol completely.   He’s pretty honest about things as well.  He talks to the audience in the introduction without a script.

Sort of like what I do when I write a post in a ruminating way.

Just like this for example.

So I think I will go take a walk and try to get rid of the remainder of this headache.  I need to go take some photos for the Chamber of Commerce project and it’s no fun taking them when your head hurts.

Maybe the cool air will do some good.

And a few nasty cookies.  A hair of the dog that bit me in the *ss.

So to speak.

I really like Jordin Sparks.  And I don’t really see her as a celebrity. She is so comfortable in front of a camera that it is easy to believe that you really know her.  She is so enthusiastic and talented.  I feel twenty years younger just watching her do her thing.  And it’s NOT like I am an old guy “in love” with a MUCH younger woman.  Why do people think old guys are so crazy all the time?  We usually aren’t any more crazy than anybody else.   She is just a very nice person with a good upbringing behind her.  And I am an American Idol fan.  I really like David Cook too.

But not as much as Jordin.  Here’s the behind the scenes video about the making of No Air.  It’s very interesting.

Today I had a medical physical and then spent the day trying to be more organized. And in the middle of all that I had an attack of Restless Legs (RLS). So when I look back on the day I feel like it was productive. But it wasn’t a fun day.

Do you ever have to wear those little gowns that tie around your neck and don’t really have a back to them? I hate those things. And then they have the AC going like a blast furnace in reverse. So you are freezing your little rear end off. Just sitting there on THAT table waiting for someone to drop by and EXAMINE you.

And then when this person walks in it is not the person you were expecting who has done it before. It’s a woman!

Actually that was a nice surprise. She was nice and I had to ask myself whether I would rather be examined by someone I didn’t really know who was a guy or a girl. And the answer came back. . . .

A GIRL! Woman actually. Health care professional with the XX chromosome. But she took my blood pressure and it was a little high. And it’s never been high. What’s that about?

It’s about geese!! They just walk out into the road in front of your car and they never look first to see if the coast is clear! They just go! And if you are coming down the road at fifty miles an hour when they do it well it’s up to you Jack to STOP THE CAR before there are goose feathers exploding all over your hood ornament.

So that happened right before I got to the medical center. Then it was fifty degrees inside. And then the other stuff happened. Who wouldn’t have slightly high blood pressure after that?

The rest of the day was basically cleaning my office organizing photos and jumping around with restless legs. Jordin Sparks was on So You Want To Be A Dancer tonight. So that was nice. Dinner was lovely. I talked to my son about getting the headlight in his car fixed and he didn’t react negatively.

Basically things went uphill after the geese tried to commit suicide on my car bumper and I got rid of the gown. I’m not really a gown person.

Even a really nice one would not be my cup of tea.

Here are a couple of photos from last weekend that turned out alright. Fireworks!! Don’t you love em. It’s fun trying to time the photo so you take it when the firework explosion is in full bloom.
