Ze Feelings

Face it. You've lost that lovin' feeling.

Okay when I say you, I mean me. But I say it in the hopes that someone out there feels the same way I do too. Jesus, what am I, penning a pop song?

Let's get back to what I like to call "the feelings." The Feelings (TM) are not the foreign impulses that overcome you when you decide to opt out of running over that kitten/squirrel/handicapper. No, "the feelings" are pre-pubescent-reminiscent (and okay for me, also very post-pubescent) sexual tinglings. And I might as well point out right now that if you are experiencing sexual tinglings by running over kittens or "cappers" then you've got much bigger problems than wasting time reading my blog.

I was reminded of "the feelings" because I recently experienced them as an adult, and were brought on not by watching Laybrinyth for the 45th time, NO, they were brought on by a real live boy. When, who was the last thing that gave you The Feelies?

For me, one or a combination of the following things gave me "the feelings" (and the beauty about my list is that it will be so different from yours, and no one can or should have to explain why weird things give them the feelings. Unless again it's kittens. Then you do have some essssplaining to do):

1) The movie Labyrinth - Bowie. In tights. With make-up. I think a simple ? sums that one up.

2) Kittens - JUST JOKING!! Hahahahhahaha.

3) The book Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret - Are you there Mom? Dad? Seriously, don't come in right now. I'M READING. Leave me alone!!!!

4) Austin Powers - Don't get it either. Could be the Brit Teeth.

5) Yule Brynner in The Ten Commandments. Combination of things at work here. The sandals + an open skirt + neato braid coming out the top of this bald tanned head. Dunno. Works.

6) The green man on crossing lights. I don't feel like I can or ever will be able to explain this, but let me tell you, navigating my way through a modern city is fu-un.

The Feelings (TM). They come from many un-expected people and places. When you get that lovin' feelin' back, embrace it people.

PS - Seriously, did you believe No. 6? Jeesh. Check yourself.
