My life needs a sound track.
Wouldn’t it be really, really cool if, right after you say something particularly witty, a laugh track would play? You know, like in a sitcom? Just so everyone around you would know you had said something funny? Like when your girlfriend/fiancée/wife tells you she thinks she lost some weight and you say, “Turn around, I think I’ve found it.”? If there were a laugh track, you might not get hit so hard.
Well, at least when you did get hit someone would be laughing.
Or better yet, how about a personal theme song? Not the kind that follows you around or plays every time you enter a room, no. That would get annoying real fast. What I’m talking about is the kind of theme song that plays right after you say or do something that will undoubtedly lead you on some sort of wild adventure around the world. Or perhaps as a prelude to a mystery, international crisis, or a torrid love affair.
You know, something cool like in CSI or Amazing Race.
Imagine how much easier life would be if, right after saying, “I’ll study for that test tomorrow.” you heard your theme song start up. You’d know right then and there that some sort of mixup, leading to a misunderstanding about stolen test answers and culminating in a cross-dressing fiasco at the dean’s house party would be happening in your future. 9 times out of 10 you’d turn your sorry butt around and hit the books.
But man, that one time out of ten would be HELLA cool!
Road trips are good for that. Since you’re trapped in a car, with nothing else to do other than listen to music, then you can create your own soundtrack for a small period of time. :)
ah, the magic of micro-compact portable music players.
I am lucky enough to have my very own personal laugh track. My crazy co-workers laugh at me no matter what silly or senseless thing I do. (Gee, thanks guys…) So if I fall, they laugh. If I’m funny, they laugh. Matter of fact – they laugh a lot. It’s one of the few things that make my job worthwhile.
