Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends !  We’ve made it – to the 44TH edition of the continuing late-night saga that is the ‘Bedtime Stories’ here on ‘The Major’s Life Blog’. Incidentally when I revitalized this blog and gave it a new look a couple of weeks ago the subtitle of this blog mysteriously dropped off. You may recall that it read ‘The Life & Times Of Major Hitwaves (AKA Chris M. Day)’. I didn’t remove that subtitle. This new blog design theme simply doesn’t display it. So now you know what happened there – for the few of you that actually noticed it missing.

I get to stay up late tonight (sort of). There will be no 5:15 AM wake-up call for me tomorrow morning. I’m gonna be a daredevil on-the-edge and set my alarm clock for a mad crazy 6:00 AM !  I don’t have to be at work at 6 AM, but I do have to be at a local medical facility later on in the morning to give blood as part of ‘Operation Reduce Bad Cholesterol By 40% In 2008’. This will be the first blood work that will be done since I’ve been on the Lipitor, so we’ll see how that goes. Right after I dump the blood I’m speeding over to the Cracker Barrel to eat my MASSIVE meal of the day (Breakfast in lieu of Lunch). There’s a tall stack of French Toast that’s waiting for me over there with my name on it written in pure butter !

Be sure to hang out with me on the blog tomorrow afternoon for your weekly ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’. You just never know what could be on my mind on a Tuesday night. It’s the most spontaneous blog entry of the week. It should go LIVE shortly after 5 PM EDT.

Until we meet again have yourself a safe, peaceful, and blessed Monday night with your loved ones, and – oh yeah – remember this:

Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends & Bloggers. This is the Thursday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’.

I’ve just spent the past hour watching “Are You Smarter Than A 5TH Grader ?” on FOX-TV. Up next is another Prime Time favourite of mine – “Don’t Forget The Lyrics“. Tonight on ‘Lyrics’ it’s a special celebrity edition with Bret Michaels of Poison – one of the greatest hard rock and roll bands of my entire life. “Unskinny Bop” may just be the greatest song that was ever made. Don’t hate me.  

I’ve also spent the past hour browsing away on iTunes. I picked out 7 current hit songs that I’ll be purchasing. The’re in my Shopping Cart right now. It’s great Christian Rock music from (in alphabetical order) – Demon Hunter, Emery, Manic Drive, P.O.D., Project 86, Seventh Day Slumber, and Wavorly.

And so that’s what I’m watching on TV and listening to on the radio and on my iPod Shuffle. And you also found out that I was once (in my previous life) a Poison groupie (circa the Summer Of 1990). You just never know what you could possibly find out about me here on this blog.

That’s my ‘Bedtime Stories’ for tonight. Don’t forget that the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ will be in full effect tomorrow afternoon. Look for it sometime after 5 PM.

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Christye !

My Favourite Commercial: Paradise By The GoPhone Light

This is the extended 1½-minute version of the traditional 30-second commercial that frequently airs on television. It stars rock and roll legend Meat Loaf as ‘Dad’, late-1980s pop diva Tiffany as ‘Mom’, and 16-year-old (at the time) actor-musician Adam Cagley as ‘Son’.

The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Partly Cloudy
Temperature: 67°F
Relative Humidity: 80%
Winds: E 3 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 30.05 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  I ate a MASSIVE breakfast at the Cracker Barrel in Florida City this morning during the six-o-clock hour. A stack of warm and buttery French Toast was totally drenched in authentic maple syrup and accompanied with scrambled eggs with melted American cheese and hot smoked sausage. P.S. I weigh 165 pounds.  😉

2.  After the feast I came home to do the walk during the seven-o-clock hour. It was another record-tying 2.2-mile walk, and I did it in less than 41 minutes (compared with 42 minutes last Saturday morning). I guess I walked just a tad bit brisker this week than last week.

3.  During the first quarter of the walk I totally frightened a woman who was carelessly walking her dog. As I walked my continuous straight line along the left-edge of the street a lady walking her dog was approaching from the right-side of the street. She was crossing the street, but she wasn’t looking where she was going. She was looking in the completely opposite direction. Her dog was going nuts, but she was totally oblivious to it. I swerved around her so that she wouldn’t walk right into me, and as I walked behind her that’s when she noticed me. Pedestrians get killed by oncoming vehicular traffic when they pull stunts like that. Ironically, “Wake Up” from KJ52 and Toby Morrell was rockin’ my iPod Shuffle at the time.

4.  I may not have big muscles to show for it, but I am the most physically fit today than I have ever been in my entire life and Life. I am in far better shape today than I was during my late-teens and early-to-middle-20s when I had to run a mile-and-a-half every year in the Air Force.

5.  Tomorrow morning at Life Pointe Church I get my weekly workout from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM lifting, carrying, moving, and setting up objects in the main lobby of the movie theatre as we transform it into a setting that is suitable for our church family. I’ll be sweating again. It’s all good. It’s all for God.
