Yes I AM listening to christmas music already
So i was listening to my music when yet another christmas song came on randomly, and i was just about to quickly skip it and go on to the next song as i've done during the summer months up until just now. I realized today that all of the christmas decorations are out in the stores, and target definately had a christmas-like comercial on the telly today. Oh, I need to start using the british slang so i'll be used to it when i'm over there- i'll work on it. If anyone has any up-to-date slang i'd love to give it a try. Anyway, I recognize that by listening to christmas music already is practically denying the existence of thanksgiving. But, I've got to tell you, while i love visiting the family and eating all sorts of delicious (potatoes) foods (ham-when the big sis gets her way), there isn't a whole lot more to it than watching the football game and maybe seeing a parade. It isn't Independence Day or anything. It seems to be the only day the the Pilgrims and the Natives got along, which i suppose is something to recognize, although the Pilgrims have a funny way of showing their appreciation. As i was saying, the MUSIC. Okay, I did and will listen to Da Yoopers Thirty Point Buck song, and i downloaded turkey in the straw. I even found Chicken Fat by Robert Preston (yes, i know its a stretch), but there aren't really all that many good Thanksgiving songs (yes, i know of Adam Sandler's song and i'm sticking with what i said) although i haven't explored songs that relate to Columbus. Surely there have got to be a few of those. Again, i am willing to take suggestions. So in closing, Christmas songs are better to listen to and at least the advertising world agrees with me (in my world anyway).
P.S. I now have to retract my previous statement about Thanksgiving music. I just found a song sung by Guy Mitchell called Christopher Columbus. It entertains me. I guess Benny Goodman did the song too, but i need more sources to download that. But i recommend you look up this version. if i knew how to add background music to this site while you read, i would have this be the song be playing. It kind of reminds me of Paul Bunyan (not that he ever sang) and Howard Keel of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I'm on my third round of the song now. Also akin to the Titanic Song, but happier (obviously the Mayflower does not get hit by an iceberg). Check it out if you have the means.
P.P.S. I had to look up the name of the guy from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and came across a review of it. This entertained me as well. Its from IMDb which apparently is the earth's biggest movie database(not to be compared with Venus's or Mars's movie database.) Anyway, here's some quotes from a review i liked. "All Singin', All Dancin', All Fighting, All Lovin' Musical" "While the songs are lovely, they are mostly forgettable"
"How can "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" be such a wonderful musical? " and yet she goes on to give it a 10. Go figure (yes, i realize i should have stopped while i was ahead, too bad)

and to add music. You have to find a site that gives you the code for it. Ex:http://videocodes4u.com/index.php
and then find the song you want and take the code it gives you. They usually offer two different codes depending on whether you want the song to autorepeat or to just play through once and stop. Also, many sites will give you different code specically for myspace, blog, or xanga.
and paste this into your blog like you normally would, but make sure it is under the "html tab" instead of the "compose" tab.
