10 things for which i’m thankful – the ASD list.

I don’t expect anyone to understand these, but I’m not gonna worry about it.

1. That I found an app that lets me modulate the keys of my iTunes songs, allowing me to listen to them the way I prefer to hear them. (Sorry, Lee. 😉)

2. That I can quickly find the missing 3rd, 4th or 5th harmony in a pop song and sing along. And yes, it’s a pet peeve that they didn’t record it that way to begin with.

3. Just like Kevin Costner in For The Love of the Game, I can activate “the mechanism” when I need to. Sometimes I do this to a fault.

4. That none of the 12 notes on the musical scale taste or smell like liver.

5. That I can recognize the incredible similarity between the late Steve Harwell’s singing voice and comedian Greg Proops speaking voice. Every time I hear “Walkin’ on the Sun”, it makes me want to watch “Whose Line is it Anyway?”.

6. That cloudy days don’t feel like they should be in a natural key.

7. That I can vividly remember that Donny Osmond sang backup vocals on Chicago’s “We Can Stop the Hurtin”, Sorrell Booke played Boss Hogg, and Richard Stahl played the chef on “It’s A Living” (I’m forever grateful, Rob Wrate and Roger Shaft.)

8. New York license plates 4XJ-482 and EDY-534.

9. The incredible music of Frank Zappa, which has challenged my sense of sound and color in a way I never thought imaginable.

10. That the journey has just begun, and I hope to enjoy every minute of it. (Donna & Will – thank you both from the bottom of my heart.)

Anybody got an extra HDMI cable? 😉
