The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party

Nowadays you can catch him numerous times per week on tru TV‘s hit series “The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest“. He’s 47-year-old Leif Garrett, and over 30 years ago he was one of the hottest television, movie, and music stars on the face of this Earth. He was a Rock, Pop, and Disco superstar with no less than 10 Billboard HOT 100 hits from 1977 to 1982. This was the biggest of them all – “I Was Made For Dancin'” – a TOP 10 Disco SMASH from 1979 !

‘The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party’ is a joint MASSIVESMASH.COM / The Major’s Life Blog production.

Thursday Night Mini Thoughts

– Let’s get spontaneous here.
– A tourist refers to this area as ‘Southern Florida’. We know it as ‘South Florida’.
– A tourist refers to it as ‘Route 1’. We know it as ‘U.S. 1’ or ‘Useless-One’.
– I filled up with gas at my favourite Chevron station after work today.
– That’s 10.899 gallons of gas at $2.739 per gallon for a total of $29.85.
– Almost exactly a year ago I paid $3.859 per gallon of gas.
– Gas prices were beginning their hard tumble from their July 2008 peaks.
– I thought about getting a car wash there.
– But I’m forecasting a lot of rain for this weekend.
– In fact Saturday could be our wettest day in Homestead in awhile.
– President Barack Obama‘s approval ratings are dropping like a rock.
– Americans are increasingly disgruntled over his handling of health care reform.
– The President is dealing with a tough crowd.
– It’s not easy to be loved and adored forever.
– I did NOT vote for him.
– Woodstock was exactly 40 years ago this weekend.
– I was NOT there.
– I was only 26 months old at the time.
– I don’t even remember it occurring.
– People that were there don’t remember it occurring.
– I’ll do a special Woodstock edition of ‘Saturday Night Retro’.
– But before that tomorrow night is Disco night here on the big bellbottom blog.
– I’ve got a former Disco superstar who’s now a reality TV star. It’s TRU !
– See what he looked like 30 years ago at the Discotech.
– You won’t regret it pal.
– Until then keep it simple – and give a hoot – don’t polute !
– Help keep America lookin’ good in the neighbourhood.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

“Surrender Saved My Life”. The title of the song alone says it all, for all of this that I now have – this fantastic journey of the past 36 months – none of it would be possible if I didn’t surrender to God and acknowledge that I need Him in my Life. Once I put pride aside and made the admission it all turned around for me. A new Life began. The euphoria continues. This is the Renaissance of my Life !

1 Peter 1:23 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new Life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.

Monday Night Countdown

After a one-year trial separation Lipitor and I have been reunited at last – and it feels so good. In lieu of ‘The Major’s Loony Bin’ (which normally appears on this day here on this blog) I present to you a one-shot special edition of the historic ‘Monday Night Countdown’. It’s my TOP 5 reasons why I’m absolutely thrilled to be back with the Lipitor:

5.  It’s what all of the kool kids middle aged dudes are doin’.

4.  Now when somebody tells me to act my age I can pull out my daily tablet of Lipitor, switch on the ‘Judge Judy‘, and make awkward sounds whenever I go to sit down and stand up.

3.  I no longer have to feel guilty as sin whenever I eat a GINORMOUS 5,000+ calorie meal at the LongHorn SteakHouse.

2.  Perhaps if Lipitor existed 32 years ago then Elvis Presley would still be alive and kicking today. (Elvis died of a MASSIVE heart attack 32 years ago this week at the same exact age as I am now.) I don’t wish to die of a heart attack. I still have a lot of work to do here on Earth – like be a TV weatherman.

1.  Because if I don’t get any of the following side effects – dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, gas, stomach upset / pain, bone, joint, or tendon pain, swelling in the arms or legs, chest pain, muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (especially with fever or unusual tiredness), yellowing eyes and skin, dark urine, change in the amount of urine, pale stools, severe stomach pain, rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing, and other effects not listed – then it’s a GREAT day !
