Monday Afternoon Mash-up Madness
Before I begin, please check out my Celebrity Round Up from this past week. I posted it so late/early that I think people missed it.
OK where to begin? Saturday night I couldn't sleep. I just laid there and tossed and turned. When I finally thought I was about to fall asleep, one of my cats would jump on me and start walking up and down my back. That isn't that bad however their claws are sharp so it was like being poked with needles. Another time I was just about to drift off when I heard a commotion in my kitchen. One of the stray cats that hangs around my house jumped on my grill and was looking into the kitchen windows. This didn't sit well with my cats so they started hissing and growling. It was nuts. I then decided to make myself some espresso. One pot led to another. 12 cups later I was buzzing. I went to church where I drank about 4 more cups of coffee. Normally I don't drink the stuff but I needed something to help my stay awake. Then I went and had lunch with my parents. My mom asked if I wanted to go to Walmart to help her get some back to school supplies. She teaches Sunday school so she needs to get stuff for the kids. Well that was an experience. I couldn't believe how packed the back to school area was. It was cart to cart traffic. Well I found all her stuff and was looking for something for me. Damn you, Walmart! You raised the price on your Dexter DVDs by $5! Being upset, I went to find my mom. Before I did that I walked past an older woman, maybe in her late 70s. She said to me, "pardon me sir, but I dropped that paper. Could you pick it up?" I figured I should try to be nice for once in my life. I bent over and had a tough time picking a single sheet of paper off the ground. Then I had the scare of a lifetime. The old woman grabbed my ass! I jumped up and looked at her and she smiled, winked and said something along the lines of me having a nice one. I walked backwards as fast as I could. I found my mom pricing tylenol in the pharmacy area where this guy who appeared to be drunk was singing, "Hang On Sloopy." It was quite entertaining. Then a lady walked over with one of the Walmart pharmacists and asked which pain reliever helped back pain the most. He pointed to some and I turned to look at that girl and saw some of the largest breasts not in a porno magazine. I then came home and realized I had a meeting at church. It went so long and I was starting to get sleepy. I finally get home at 9:15 and lay down on my couch. The next thing I know it is 5:30am. I said screw it and fell back asleep. It was nice crawling off the couch at 10:30 this morning. 13 hours of sleep...it was nice except now my back hurts. I should have asked that girl for her number because I too have back pain. Anyway that is why I didn't get this posted last night or this morning. Enjoy.
This mash-up combines "Losing My Religion" by REM with "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas. I actually like this one. It takes two poignant songs and combines them into one incredible mash-up.
This song takes "Check it Out" by The Beastie Boys and mashes it up with "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin. I am mixed...hahahaha...about this one. The Beastie Boys have a lot of material used in mash-ups and I think that is because a while back the band asked fans to make mash-ups featuring their vocals. I don't know if this one works.
This mash-up combines "Let it Be" with "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy. This is one of those off-the-wall mixes. I never thought it would work but strangely it does. Too bad Shaggy sounds like he is singing with a mouthful of food. If he sang better then maybe this would be better.

ah it's nice to know that it's not just my store that has crazy people walking around it. try regular old advil. it's suppose to be very good for back aches.
how does it feel to be violated so openly? in fifth grade, after i learned what "don't drop the soap" meant, i made a habit of crouching instead of bending over.
lol even old ladies have dreams...
In response to the mash-ups. #19 is really upbeat but soothing. And it's a dark song. I like it. #20 is just too much for me to handle. Too many things going on for me to focus and listen. #21 is pretty neat, it works well. Sometimes I hate when people mess with any Beatles tunes, because I consider their work the cream of the crop. But I will give it a thumbs up.

I seem to forget that people over the age of 60 still have wants and desires. It's just freaky to think about.
There have been some Beatles mash-ups out there that I have found absolutely horrible just simply because they used The Beatles and mixed them with some crappy band.
@BranmacFeabhail -
I seem to forget that or maybe I just push it out of my mind.

Oddly enough this wasn't the first time that I had been goosed. Once when I was in college, I was working at my summer job, manager of an arcade, and I bent over to fix something for this lady who was complaining about a game acting up. She grabs me and then I jump up and she says, "DAMN!" I was shocked and walk away. She then follows me asking if I would bend over again.

I love going to Walmart just to study people. It gets fun around 3 in the morning after the bars close. I once witnessed a storewide football game that some drunks were playing. Another fun experience was following a lady who was singing the whole time. She sang, "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear." It was quite strange and what is worse is that after all these years I can see her face as well as her husband's.

WOW! Sexually harassed by an old lady! At the Wal-Mart! No one is safe I tell you!!
P.S. Where do you find these mash ups?
@RestlessButterfly -
I'm still alive so that is what is most important.

I am trying to figure out if me getting goosed is some sort of karmic payback but I can't think of anything. The strange thing it isn't the first time a stranger has felt me up like that.
As for the mash-ups: the last two came from a Limewire search for the term "mash up", I get some here, here, here, here, here, and here. I hope that helps. A couple DJ names that you could search for are Party Ben and DJ Schmolli. I have used some of there stuff for this feature. Oh and Schmolli did that mash-up of the Monkees and Iron Maiden. I know he also has stuff floating around on youtube.

the morning times are a good time for viewing the public as well. we have several mentally disturbed people that are regulars. they can be very amusing at times and then also very annoying as well.
