~ Off To Work With Bryan ~

          

Ok, most of you know I am a jock at heart.  What you may not know is I listen to sports talk radio when I'm driving to and from work.  I need the scoop on my boys ::grin:: and just sports in general.  Today on the way to work it was boring.  Yeah, I know it's boring to most of you all time.  Well, they were talking about crap and no insight about what is happening with signing players for next season so I turned it off.  I have a 6 disc CD player that is loaded.  With what CDs you ask?  I have no idea (well I do now), but at the time I had no idea what I had in there.  I just turned it on.  The CD that started to play was Bryan Adams.  It was about midway thru track 2.  I smiled and remembered how much that CD meant to me.  A different place a different time.  I cranked it and started to sing along.  Now mind you I cannot carry a tune to save my life and I don't pretend I can.  This morning I didn't care.  It was good music that brought back some sweet memories.  Who'd hear me anyway?

 

Well, the highway I need to take to get downtown has some construction going on.  Go figure!?!  Summer in this area?  It's also known as construction season!   Actually for years you had to pay a toll to drive that part of the highway.  It was suppose to be temporary and lasted a gazillion years.  Several months ago they stopped.  They are now tearing down the divider that housed the toll booths.  They are doing half at a time.  So they have the traffic merging into a few lanes to keep the cars away from the workers and the heavy equipment.  It's a nice cool morning so I'm driving with my windows open.  Enjoying the breeze, the sun, and the fresh air.  Good music that is making me 'bop' a bit in my seat and I'm singing.  Then it came on.  One of my favorite Bryan Adams songs.  I'm engulfed in memories.  Remembering a time and a person.  Traffic slows as we are merging and going by the workers.  Stop and go.  I'm not paying much attention, I'm enjoying the song.  Next thing I know I hear a deep voice singing with me.  I hadn't even realized how loud I had gotten, but let me tell you I was belting it out.  There, not to far away, is a guy singing along with me.  Our eyes lock and I can feel my face turn every shade of red imaginable.  I lower my voice and he gets louder.  I was surprised he knew the words.  It's what you might call 'a chick' song.  Maybe he sings it to his 'chick'?  He was hot.  I don't just mean sweaty hot, but built to a 't', a body you'd want to touch,  dark hair, bright blue eyes.   He smiles and gives me a wave as to say 'come on, sing'.  So there on the highway I was laughing and having fun with some gorgeous strange guy singing a chick song.  A somewhat seductive chick song.  Damn!  Where were my business cards!?!?!   LOL  What a way to start the day!  I waved and smiled as I drove past, his bright smile came back at me.  I laughed all the way in to office.  Wonder what he thought after that whole event.  As I write, I laugh again.  What CD should I play tomorrow??  I will have my business card out this time.  LMAO!!!!

 

So I searched You Tube to find the song.  I found a good 30 of him singing live, but the sound was horrible and I wanted you to be able to hear it.  I found the 'actual video', but I forgot how much I hated it when it first came out.  The 'action' takes away from the song in my opinion.  A bit bizarre.   This one is good.  It gives you the words and a clear version of the song.  Now you tell me, what would you make of some strange, good looking guy singing this along with you?  How embarrassed would you be?  Would you continue to sing or turn and pretend you didn't just get busted making an ass out of yourself?   Can't wait to hear what you would do.  :)~

 

I'm off to bed.  g'nite
