"Somebody That I Used To Know" is Everywhere!


If you like Gotye and Kimbra's song, "Somebody That I Used To Know," you would probably be interested to know there are many other great versions of the song... like A LOT of versions of this song.

A band called Walk Off The Earth covered the song and posted their video to YouTube.  It has become an internet sensation since then.  It features the 5 bandmates at a guitar all playing the one guitar.  The musicians have great voices and they do a wonderful job with the song.

So then came the parodies!  There are parodies of the original version, parodies of the Walk Off The Earth version, and even parodies of parodies!  The entire "Somebody That I Used To Know" craze is now getting out of hand.  You can't even look at someone's blog without reading about it.  Like for instance, if you are reading this now, I am totally right!  You can't even read my blog without hearing about "Somebody That I Used To Know."

If you want to watch some of the "Somebody That I Used To Know" videos, you can either search on YouTube for a number of quality parodies or remakes of the song, or you can check out: The Many Versions of "Somebody That I Used To Know."  You will never get this song out of your head!

Food For Thought...

Why do my bananas have advertisements on them now?

Yes, it has really come to that.  I am starting to notice a trend when I eat bananas.  Products and movies are now being promoted on my bananas.  Those little stickers on the side of the bananas?  They are not just saying "Dole" anymore.  Oh, no!  They feature ads.


Are companies really this desperate to advertise that they have to put stickers on bananas now?  How ridiculous is that?  Can't I eat my banana without worrying about an ad?  It is bad enough I am bombarded with ads whenever I watch TV.  Now I have to see them when I eat fruit.

Yes, I have more questions than answers, but these are the things I think about each day.  All I can say is, people, please leave my bananas alone!  Don't I deserve to have one thing that isn't commercialized?

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!  You might just want to sit back and relax today, but you should at least get up and eat some eggs.  Who doesn't want to dye some eggs for Easter?  Better yet, who doesn't want to eat some eggs for Easter?  So try not to be a big couch potato today.  Better yet, get some Easter candy and chow down.  Most of all, have fun! 

Check out this cute Easter music video while you are at it...
