Priory of Dan Brown; or, I've got class like pink champale
So Matt calls me yesterday, he wanted to chat and let me know about the upcoming Alief ISD elections. Time flies and all that. He was also digging to find out about the city council race I mentioned, which of course I'm happy to share with one of my co-conspirators. But not with everyone, not just yet....
He asked me a question about something I'd wrote and I realized that I've probably traveled so deep back into my own mind in posting that it's getting confusing for people. Instead of rectifying the problem and starting to write more straight-ahead and to the point, like a good Hemingway fan should, I decided to make that the gimmick. Reading my blog is now like reading the Da Vinci Code, there are several levels of meaning and hidden messages. Of course, maybe I only think it's like DVC, and it's really like A Beautiful Mind, but if so, then what am I going to do about it?
I'm thinking that part of the weirdness that I seem to be exuding must be the direct result of the re-appearance of music videos on Time Warner's On Demand. I've reverted to 16 and watching the quick-edited video and quick drops of pop culture references must be affecting my brain. (Quick thought, I'm listening to Squeeze's CD Play, which was recorded for Reprise Records, a Time Warner company. Is that DVC or ABM? Or is it just a lattice of coincidence?) There are now two, count 'em TWO!, Beastie Boys videos available for on-demand viewing, Ch-check It Out and Triple Trouble. Talk about your quick edits and pop culture references, two of the boys (King Ad Rock and Mike "is for Money D is for" Diamond) recreate the Kirk-fighting-Spock scene. I'll date myself and say that I first heard B.E.A.S.T.I.E. Boys on ROIR, which were hardcore cassettes you could buy through ads in Maximum Rock N Roll. Or was it Trouser Press?
The big prize for weird video, though, has to go to the great Gwen Stefani (Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Stephanie) for What You Waiting For? I'd try to explain, but it would be best if you just go find it and watch it. The bizarre intro and Alice in Japanese Wonderland scenes is some wicked style. It earns Song of the Day status:
But, what do I know? I've only been on blogger for four years. The switch on culbersonforcongress.com will be turned sometime soon to reveal the site that is sitting here: Culberson for Congress. Go ahead and poke around, if there are any misspellings, please holler.
You can ask anyone who's known me a while, Steve included, I've always been like this.

What You Waiting For?Anyway, for enduring the twists and turns that are the bizarre thoughts in my head, you get a reward. Speaking of politicians blogging, John and I have decided to update the web site and go with a whole new look. It's powered by nucleus, so it's kind of like a blog, but then again, there are no comments, and without comments I think it's hard to call it a blog. On the third hand, I've had no comments here and on CB/LST, but that's where laziness comes in.
What an amazing time
What a family
How did the years go by
Now it's only me
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Like a cat in heat, stuck in a moving car
A scary conversation, shut my eyes, can't find the brake
What if they say that you're a climber
Naturally, I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares, cause it's your life
You never know, it could be great
Take a chance cause you might grow
Oh, ah, oh
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Take a chance you stupid ho
Like an echo pedal, you're repeating yourself
You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
Your moment will run out
Cause of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up, how our society all thinks (for sure)
Life is short, you're capable (uh-huh)
Oh, ah, oh
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
I can't wait to go back and do Japan
Gimme lots of brand new fans
Osaka, Tokyo
You Harajuku girls
Damn, you've got some wicked style
Go
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
(What you waiting for)
Take a chance you stupid ho
Take a chance you stupid ho
What you waiting for
What you waiting for
(What you waiting for)
Take a chance you stupid ho
Take a chance you stupid ho

Your right most of this post I couldn't decipher (smile). I do like the new Culberson blogsite. When Culberson posts to the site will you have a link from 'slightly rough'?
