Hi. My name if Keith and I am a Rock Band addict. I’m such an addict, I even used it for a self-portrait on ‘Self-Portrait Thursday’ on Etsy. I’m such an addict, I have almost as much downloadable content now as there are songs that came with the game. So far, I’ve only beaten the game on Easy and Medium but started on ‘Hard’ this weekend. I’m having a hard time moving my hand down the fret to account for the extra fret but I’ll master it at some point!

I only wish the Playstation 3 version and the Xbox version could play together as I’d like to play as a full band more often. But both of my little girls play now, so we’re having a lot of fun!

Here’s all of the songs I have so far, including the main songs in the game and downloadable content, but not the ‘bonus’ songs that no one who hasn’t played the game would know. Downloadable content is in bold italics:

“(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”     Blue Öyster Cult
“Are You Gonna Be My Girl”     Jet
“Ballroom Blitz”     Sweet
“Bang A Gong”    T Rex
“Black Hole Sun”     Soundgarden
“Blitzkrieg Bop”     Ramones Read More

Please note: none of these are mine. They came from Pun of the Day, which I dearly love and encourage you to check out!

• I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
• Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He’s all right now.
• I couldn’t quite remember how to throw a boomerang, but eventually it came back to me.
• There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said ‘Keep off the Grass’.
• He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.
• Police were called to a daycare where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
• A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was a nurse said ‘No change yet’.
• There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils.
• A bicycle can’t stand on its own because it is two-tired.
• When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

I’ve been eating at you since you first opened
And today I saw your new sign, saying bring in a friend
Look at me now, I eat here too much
I’m a big cow but I just passed the salad bowl
For sausage I’d barter my soul
Just one taste and I hear Pavlov’s bell ring
One more taste and I will eat everything, o-o-o-oh

Pizzaria, here I eat again
Oh, my, how can I resist you?
Pizzaria, tummy’s grown again
Oh, my, just how much I missed you
Yes, I’ve been to the slice bar
More than once I’ve been so far
Oh, why do you have to tempt me so?
Pizzaria, now I really owe
A bill I’m afraid to have to show

I’ve been hungry and bad about my weight loss with you
I can’t count all the times that I’ve avoided you
But then I’m here, with a coupon too
The buffet is near and I can’t stay away too long
You know that I’m not that strong
Just one taste and I hear Pavlov’s bell ring
One more taste and I will eat everything, o-o-o-oh

Pizzaria, here I eat again
Oh, my, how can I resist you?
Pizzaria, tummy’s grown again
Oh, my, just how much I missed you
Yes, I’ve been to the slice bar
More than once I’ve been so far
Oh, why do you have to tempt me so?
Pizzaria, even if I stray
Oh, say, to my local Subway
Pizzaria, you just have to say
Oh, say, Two-for-one and I’ll stay

Pizzaria, here I eat again
Oh, my, how can I resist you?
Pizzaria, tummy’s grown again
Oh, my, just how much I missed you
Yes, I’ve been to the slice bar
More than once I’ve been so far
Oh, why do you have to tempt me so?
Pizzaria, now I really owe
A bill I’m afraid to have to show

Well, after some subtle arm-twisting and some public encouragement, I have launched the ‘Honest Answers From A Guy’ blog! I’m still not certain how well received it will be, but since the thread on Etsy was popular, I decided to listen to the encouragement and get it moving! So please check it out and give me your feedback!

At least Lexi thinks so. I’m thinking of playing with this to make it a print to sell in my shop….

Wouldn’t it be a hoot? Take THAT, Cooking Mama!

(Sung to the tune of ‘Livin La Vida Loca’ by Ricky Martin)

It’s morning in the city
Dark out and traffic calls
I feel a craving in me
That makes no sense at all

I stop off at the Starbucks
Round the corner past the light
To feed my worst addiction
This craving just ain’t right

It’ll make your taste buds stand up
And go tango with your brain
It will pump you up with caffeine
That much chocolate is insane
Like a mullet in L.A. Come on!
[CHORUS:]

Got to have it now
Drinkin’ a double mocha
It’ll pump you up right now
Drinkin’ a double mocha
It’s taste is so sinful
And it’ll never cause you to choke up
It will make you howl
Drinkin’ a double mocha Come on!
Drinkin’ a double mocha, come on!
I’m drinkin’ a double mocha
Got to work in a hurry
Full of too much energy
She took my card
Barista took my money
Too much caffeine’s gonna make me ill

It’s never made with water
Only whole milk will suffice
But once you’ve had a taste of it
You’ll find it very nice
You won’t order it with ice!

[CHORUS]

It’ll make your taste buds stand up
And go tango with your brain
It will pump you up with caffeine
That much chocolate is insane
Like a mullet in L.A. Come on!

The dramatic set piece known as ‘Ode to My Chai Tea Latte That Girded My Loins For Battle,’ has been pre-empted due to the intolerable lack of media coverage and benjamins for the auteur and creative differences with the composer of the film’s score. ‘Ode to My Chai Tea Latte That Girded My Loins for Battle,’ set against the glorious backdrop of 1990s suburbia and starring Scott Baio, Dr. Ruth and Roseanne Barr’s butt double, was set to return to prominence that greatest of Shakespearean Actors: Tinkerbell, the Taco Bell chihuahua. When the words ‘Yo Quiero Taco Bell ‘ could not be set to the tune of ‘Oh Savannah,’ composer Rockwell walked away from the picture, citing Tinkerbell’s inability to sing in pitch for the song. Insiders have claimed that it was really Tinkerbell’s Scientology beliefs that drove Rockwell away, since even Scientologists fail to believe that Rockwell possessed any talent after screening the music video for ‘Somebody’s Watching Me.’The publicist responsible for failing to promote this high-concept period piece has been sacked. We now return you to the regular, lowbrow reading of Mindless Pursuits.

The world will never know what it missed out on….

How could Tatooine, a desert planet, have frogs, which are amphibious?

Does anybody else watching ‘Lost’ expect to see Luke, Laura and Robert trudging through the jungle in search of the Ice Princess?

Jessica Biel is ‘teh hotness’, as the young folk say….

Could Dib’s hair cut through metal?

I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

I think I’ll get highlights in my hair….

If the average lifespan is 75 years, and the average amount of sleep per day is 8 hours, that means most people spend 25 years of their life asleep. What a waste!

Taste’s like chicken!

What am I going to write next?
