A Delicious Musical Life

ROGER MILLER: KING OF THE ROAD
It may be a real cheesy back ground in the music clip but that is the point of the video. When you have no worries and are "King of the Road" your world is what ever you imagine it. It seems that this video was a dream and that he no longer ahs no worries. He has no clue where his life is going when he sings lyric, "Third box car midnight train... destination banger made." As for my life I had no idea at all through high school and until recently did not know what I was going to do with my life. I know I could have chosen Hakunah Matata like many would but I like this song relates more to the everyday folks. Like for instance when it refers to "Trailers for sale or rent and rooms for 59 cent." It is the average Joe's dreams to have no worries with the everyday problems that they have. When I was younger I did not dream of fantasy world I dreamed of my world just a whole lot easier and how perfect it would be. I dreamed of real thing and real situations instead of pixies.

JIMMY BUFFET: Hey Good Lookin'

Summertime is upon us and it means tailgates, fishing, and bbq's. This song is for all for having way to much fun. I have waited a long time for the summer and can't wait to get out there. As of today "Summer Time has officially started". Why not go and find yourself a "Good lookin'" girl "and cook something up with me". It summertime and I plan on giong and having a lot of fun. It talks about a new summertime love that would be just perfect for me. There is just work during the day and finding a good lookin' girl at night and cookin something up with me. Its the finding that inocent girl at the community bbq and than going on walks and talking about the world. Its than going and fishing with her and by night going out on a boat under the stars. Than by the end of the summer you may just happen to get a little kiss. Nothing can't get much better than that.

CHRIS CRAGLE: CHICKS DIG IT

The video starts off with a kid with mom's red drapes and dad's belt. He jumps of the roof of his shed and only to impress the girl. Although he got a broken arm he did get a kiss. He later goes on to do even more things to impress girls than ran over the farmers’ mail box for driving to fast after hitting a ditch. It goes on to show a skateboarding, a race track, dirt bike stunts, derby car smashing each other. Like this kid pain was only for little bit, and well the chicks dig it. Well when I was younger lad I use to do the craziest things to first be crazy and of course for the ladies. Well although I have grown in years I have only grown in more dangerous stuff, and because the chicks dig it. I now ride bulls during the summer, and get chased on the roof by a girl to only jump off and over spectators on the ground. The only difference now is I can feel it taking more of a toll on my body. I have now got a couple concussions from bull riding and getting bucked off. Also for not getting out of the arena after bucking off and then bull usually finds his rider. All of the crazy stuff I did as a kid and as the superman caped kid in the video was due in part to chicks digging it.

JOHN DENVER: ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH

This is my state and the greatest song to contribute to it. It shows all the scenes from my gorgeous beautiful home. It talks about my how he was born in his 27th year, referring to the fact that he comparatively was not living until he lay and breathed the Colorado sights. He left everything he knew behind him and headed to the "Rocky Mountain High" and he totally became so peaceful with himself that it was unbelievable. I have on the other hand have left Colorado to the flat state of Nebraska, but tomorrow I will take the same trip back to Colorado and leave everything behind that I have grown to know and live for the last year. I too now will bale to live like John Denver was when he turned 27. I will be able to take in those sights and live so heavenly. Like he refers to in the song I will be able to see “it rainin’ fire in the sky” and the “quiet solitude the forest and the streams” have to provide the most at peace experience one could imagine.

Dierks Bentley: Every Mile A Memory


When I first watched this video is made me think of the two major moves I had throughout my childhood. In the video you see a guy driving his car on the interstate and reliving his memories. This Clip as he goes is similiar in the aspect that I drove roughly a couple hundred miles away from home and with every one of those miles I found a new and lasting memory in Nebraska. "Country Roads... Little Hicktown squares..." is the new and sights that I see now here in Nebraska and for the most part it is got a home feel to it. Even more so it is the girldfriend that I left behind as did the gentlemen in this song "No matter where I run, around every bend I only see just how far I havent come..." I could not escape the love that she put forth to me. In essence every mile I drove I had a memory but with every mile further away it became that much harder and was the cause for us to drift apart. The gentlemen could escape the memory of her through miles, as well as I could not.

Clay Walker: Then What

"Then What?" Is about a guy who finds other women very tempting. All he thinks about is leaving his mate now for the good looking one on the next boat. Well as this song continues it says that looking at them is not a crime and that he should take a step back and think. Well with a girl-friend over the past couple years and now at college there are sure a lot of other girls on the next boat over. I always stepped back and thought of the consequences. That is until recently I jumped over to that next boat and the boat after that one too. I know I cant turn back for what I have burned and really don’t care if new wears off and the old shines through, and it isn’t really love and it ain't really lust. I now am free to take what ever lead at the moment. I know that not to many people back home going to trust me with their hearts and "will be willing to kick me in the butt, but then what?" Well I just keep finding other fences and life goes on. For now it is not a matter of Then What?, but rather a Now What?

Rodney Atkins: If You're going through Hell

Life throws all sorts of unexpected things at you both good and bad but it wasn’t until high school that I realized that you get through anything if you just keep at it. The song “If You’re Going Through Hell,” by Rodney Atkins sums this lesson up in a few lyrics. The song says, “If you’re going through hell keep on going…you might get out before the devil even knows you’re there.” All throughout my life I was the type of person who would let little things bother me and when things weren’t going just like I had planned I felt disappointed and let down. The thing was that if I ever did get in a bad or tough predicament I would be able to sing these couple lyrics and be able to perceiver. Especially now in the hard times I face may not getting the Peer Assistant job based on my grades. So If I keep on going through hell I might get out before the devil knows I am there.

John Michael Montgomery: Life's a Dance

The video shows the mountains off the bat and that gives it more of a home feeling since I live next to the mountains. He sings about how he fell fast for a blue eyed girl in his homeroom class as so many of us do. "Trying to muster up the courage to ask her out like he points out" is next to impossible. He never did actually end up ask her out before she moved away. Like the song says "sink or swim you have to give life a whirl". It portrays the give and take between a male and female in that sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow. My Life has been a dance and I have sank many of time like not showing up to class and missing out on a huge opportunity in life. Well I have fallen not for a blue eyed girl but one with deep brown eyes. I still have yet to gain the courage to ask her out first she is that amazing and she has a boyfriend. Not only do I have to give a dance a whirl but I also have to out dance her partner now. Sink or swim I am going to give it a whirl.

Ice Ice that Video

Ice Ice Baby is a one hit wonder. The beat is catchy and the only part the majority of people remember is "Ice Ice Baby." This music video looks like a white-man version of the Fresh Prince introduction to the hit series, with Will Smith. With a version of Eminem style of rapping in it. Vanilla Ice reminds of my high school, where would rap on the the bus to games. There is this one guy who looked angry or need to take a "deuce" when he rapped. Same here with Vanilla Ice. Besides the lame dance moves that little kids could come with on their own and to hid the dance moves they darkened the room so you could barely tell how lame they really are. Through and through after hearing this songs and its catchy little verse, watching the music video was a let down. So I think that this music video needs to go just as much as Vanilla Ice's hair. Well there is not much more to say about the video just an over bad job on it. Well no need to make anything with Vanilla Ice if he is only good for one good song. So I see what the producers were thinking. Tell him to produce his own music video so it is no cost to the company and if the song goes some where they would air it.

I CROSS MY HEART

I really don't have a favorite song of the new stuff out. I personally like the good ole stuff. Like music from Waylon (Jennings), Johnny (Cash), Bocephus (Hank Williams Jr.), Clay (Walker), and George Straight. First ever portable music device I had was a Walkman and the first tape that I had was Pure Country by George Straight. I would listen to that for every hour that I was not eating at the dinner table. I would eventually have to start to buy my own batteries because I used to listen to it while I was sleeping. It been long time since I have had a Walkman, but I still have that tape, but it does not play anymore it. The metal piece that pushes the tape to the surface to be read no longer is in place. I have not gotten in on CD, not sure what I am waiting for really. This song when played brings me back down from my ambitious ways. I play this song to put a sense of calmness in the air. The melody is slow as are the words, it is very easy to follow. Now this song is my all time favorite and it comes from my all time favorite movie, which can been seen on CMT usually four times a month or so. This clip is from Pure Country the movie that tells about Dusty's life who George plays. This is when he finally gets back to his roots and the reason he loves country music. This movie follows similar themes as my life has and this song as you can see in this clip has a special place in my heart. I would tell anyone to go out and get it. Girls play it at your weddings, guys it will help you with your dating/brownie points. And for Ware it to late. Enjoy!

Only 8 Second Ride

(This is a different ride)

After a grueling day of work it was finally Thursday and I went down to fountain to pay my money and ride a couple bulls no big deal. Went down with Jason Sharp whom I work with and rides bulls on the Enterprise Tour every weekend. Waiting around for my turn and I use Jason's hockey mask. He has seven plates in his head from not wearing one earlier in his career. I put the rosin on the bull rope before hand. Finally it was my go, and I walked and got up one the shoot. I was already pumping with adrenaline and was ready to ride. I got on Hurricane and slide up to the front, and centered my rope just off the center of the bull into my left hand. I was taking my time and the bull pinned my leg against the side of the shoot. The owner, Bob shocked him with a low voltage current and Hurricane slide over. I tied a suicide knot because I wanted to ride for eight. Head down, and one last calm breath before I gave the nod. Gate open and Hurricane jumped out to the right and cranked back to the left and went to town. I was told before hand that is normally what he does out of the gate, so I was ready for him. I was feeling it than about at the five second mark I let my riding hand open for a quick second and all I could do was hold out for three seconds which is a long time. At the eight second mark I simultaneous let go and the bull went forward and on his way back up I was bucked off. But on his way back down again I hit the backside of him and the guys told me I did a back flip and landed on my shoulders and neck. With my adrenaline going I could not feel it at all. I got up and I looked for the bull (which they yell at me for) and hoped up on the side of the arena.
