The Most Awesome Man That Ever Lived

My Nano froze up yesterday on "Homeward Bound." Damn you to hell, Garfunkel. Simon...you're still okay. There was nothing I could do. The nano has no off switch--the power is all software controlled--so once it froze up there was nothing to be done but wait for the battery to drain until the power cut out.

I can't abide silence on the walk to the parking lot after work, so my brain decided to play some music. You'd think it would be something awesome like Rage or Newfound Glory, but then BAM! Dixie Chicks. Not even upbeat peppy Dixie Chicks, it was freaking "Cowboy Take Me Away". OH, GOD. I begged my brain to play something else, but it just laughed and cranked up the volume. The only way to get something like that out of your head is of course through your mouth--and so it came to pass that I sat alone in my car on the drive home, singing unaccompanied at full volume about how I wanted some rugged outdoorsman to come sweep me off my feet. It was not a strong moment for me.

And now I've shared the tale, and why? So you can pass it on to your children, and they can pass it on to their children, and so on and so on through the generations until all people of the world come to know the story of The Most Awesome Man That Ever Lived. Yeah.
