I woke up late today. It was 11:40, and by the time I got around to eating, breakfast had turned into lunch.

I had a chicken sandwich and some hash browns. To wash it down I drank some ice cold water. Now I love water, but for some strange reason I had a strong desire for an ice cold Pepsi.

I don't know what it is but when it starts getting cold out I like drinking Pepsi. With each bite my thirst for a Pepsi heightens. It was like I was an addict in need of a fix. Soon I was singing, and my GF is looking at me like I'm a nut. I was singing:

"And I go:
What, what's the matter
And she goes:
What's the matter with you?
I go:
There's nothing-wrong mom.
And she goes:
Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!
And I go:
No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't
you get me a pepsi.
And she goes:
NO you're on drugs!
I go:
Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking.
She goes:
No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way!
I go:
Mom just give me a Pepsi please
All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.
Just a Pepsi."

If anybody not familiar with what I was singing, it was "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies. They're a group from the 80s. I asked my GF if she remembered the song (she didn't), but she remembered the group. I wonder whatever happened to them. Are they still together?

I don't know why I always sing song lyrics that go with whatever situation is going on with me or with my GF. I feel sorry for her sometimes since she gets the blunt of my singing. I just don't sing one style either I sing songs from practically every genre. To top it off, I don't have the greatest of voices. Just picture a big dork singing lyrics from the 50s to present day, while showing off his funky dance moves. Thanks for being so patient with me, Rose (InBloom).

I know no one wants to hear me sing, but again it's not what they want it's what I want , and right now I want to sing an old song from a metal band, but most of all I really want a damn Pepsi.

I do the same thing. Almost any phrase has a corresponding song lyric. My husband is never home so it's my boys who are tortured.

I actually saw Suicidal Tendancies with Queensryche. God, I'm old. That was a hundred years ago.

Go get you a pepsi.

i'm not crazy (institutionalized)
you're the one that's crazy (institutionalized)

I like that song too

I remember when I was about 20, driving around SoCal with my friends, Listening to Suicidal Tendancies without a care.

I may think you are a bit kooky sometimes, but I love you for being that way. So sing your heart away! I may laugh at you sometimes...but I love that I'm with someone who doesn't care what other people think about him...I love that you sing in front of me without any qualms.

Can't wait to hear your next performance!

(oh, and hope you enjoyed your Pepsi last night!)

I know exactly what you mean! I get this too, only in summer. If there's no Pesi in the house in July, I freak out.

Ya, gots to have my Pesi in summer. Not winter though. Not usually.

You're not old at all, Loca. In fact I heard you're just 14 years old when a guy smiles at you at your gym.

Oh to be young and carefree. I wouldn't mind it again ... especially if I knew then what I know now.

One July after playing basketball all day I drank a bottle of ice cold Pepsi. Not only did I get brain freeze I got a sugar rush that made me dizzy, some say I still am even till this day.

cyko miko is still kicking, with ST, infectious grooves, and a kazillion other projects, including a solo album. google search to read more...

feel free to point and laugh - i have the same blessing/curse as Locamama - every-damn-thing relates to a song lyric in my head, and around the house i sing everything from ST to Neil Diamond to you-name-it. plus i make up stuff constantly. my dog loves me to sing "He's in the Jailhouse Now" (from "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou") and if i sing Bon Jovi in the shower - but only Bon Jovi (first two albums only!) - my cat will come in the bathroom to "sing back-ups". both the cat and the dog like it when i make up songs about dinner-time. they eat better when i sing pre-dinner-dittys. my poor wife is the one tortured by us lunatics (the lunatics...are on the grass - Pink Floyd), but God bless her, she loves us anyhow. actually, i think i've finally driven her crazy (but that's how it go-o-oes - Ozzy) as me. if we hear anyone, anywhere say any sentence that's ends with "...do it all the time" we're likely to follow it with "yeah, yeah" (Violent Femmes), the word "stop" is almost always followed by "Hammertime!" (MC Hammer), and i almost - ALMOST i say - "got some" today by singing "Found" by The Beloved. oh my poor, sweet, wonderful wife. don't say a prayer for her now, save it for the morning after (Duran Duran) did i mention that i was a karaoke host for 5 years?

20 years ago, i would have signed off, "sk8 or die!"
instead, i'll just say "peace - out"

Your references actually made me laugh out loud, and brought back memories. My brothers and I used to say, "Stop .... Hammertime."

Peace out, toddschmack
