Five Seconds of Summer is one of those groups that got drilled into my head daily over this past summer as my girls insist on playing Disney Channel on XM radio anytime we are all in the car. Wiki defines them as "an Australian pop punk/pop band." But they are, as wiki goes on to point out, a "boy band." And yet secretly I have to admit their one big hit, "She Looks So Perfect," is really a pretty good song.
"Your lipstick stain is like a work of art, I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart; and I know now, that I'm so down......
And of course later it goes on to say "you look so perfect standing there in my American Apparel underwear..."
Yes, very easy on the ears.
The song alludes to that hipster-chic apparel store you see in trendy urban shopping areas in Silver Spring or along places like Michigan Avenue. All of which contributes to the imagery that makes the song attractive to any crowd. After all, what isn't more delightful for a guy to imagine and enjoy than to see his sweety in his undees!
Yet, jaded me; stained by consumerism and tainted by the almighty dollar knows there is truth in why we like bubble gum pop. It's because there's a lot of talent in bubble gum pop. You see talent follows money and money always follows the trendy sugary-sweet easily digestible snacks we adore and bubble gum pop is all that. The truth is over time whether it's the Partridge Family, the DiFranco family, Donny & Marie, NSYNC, One Direction, or Five Seconds of Summer, producers, song-writers, and great session musicians know what sells and they gravitate as such. When you open your mind and just listen and enjoy you often hear the talent underlying the layers of musical depth in a song like "I Woke Up in Love this Morning." The percussion is delightfully crisp, there are beautiful flecks of Spanish sounding background guitar riffs that could be in a Yes or Beatles song, the background voices are smartly harmonized, the lyrics are gorgeous, and heck in the video Danny is even plucking the bass correctly.
Yes perhaps our taste buds do know best. When something soothes the palate so delectably maybe we should just enjoy and tell our neo-cortex to take a break from thinking and just CHI-LAX!
I remember a movie I once saw and for the life of me I just can't find it no matter how much I google. It starred and older actress (like Judi Dench) alongside one of those well known second tier character actors like Brian Cox (IDK). The lady was having an affair with a man she met in counseling and reconciling that with her husband. In one scene she simply tells her husband that he is too complicated, that her "other guy" is uncomplicated. She goes on to say that she does not have to think around "him (the other guy)." Her other guy is her bubble gum pop. It seemed so sad to see at that time and yet now I realize we have to find ways to reconcile that which sustains us in life. Otherwise, that old complicated neo-cortex will just drive us crazy.
It's funny, the other day I was in the car with Shannon in route to picking up one of the girls from camp. Of course we were listening to Disney Channel as the other daughter was in the car. Shannon and I were dissecting the music we listened too. We decide the new Ariana Grande song (with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj) was quite good; true retro disco funk. Ariana Grande, we decide, was sure to become the Madonna of our daughter's generation, quite talented with unique vocal range. Later, another song felt 80's Dark Wave with respect to the background synth to Shannon; I felt the female vocalist harkened back to post-grunge Lilith Fair female singer-songwriters. All witty stuff to make a drive go quickly and I did enjoy the time with Shannon as she always challenges my intellect.
You see Shannon is complicated. Gorgeous, scary-talented, and intellectual; but complicated. She is a Moody Blues song with deep lyrics voiced over beautiful pop arrangements and augmented by the London Philharmonic or maybe even Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn. You admire her and try to determine how on Earth you were able to be successful enough to win her. And yet so often you find that your tearing yourself to pieces to sustain sanity within the sphere of her world. At times it's just daunting. And like that Sid Barrett led Pink Floyd album you never quite know if the conversation is brilliant or just a total acid tripped mind *uck!
Three years ago I ran across someone on an odd website who very quickly delighted me. She wasn't the most complex person in the world. When I'm with her we don't discuss geo-politics and global derivative markets. The other night we just drove up to a high point in the county and tilted the seats back in her convertible and looked up at the stars. No we don't analyze when we are together and yet the time with her is always so delightful.
Take a listen to this and let me know. And scroll down and read through a typical series of mindless, unthoughtful, bubble-gum pop e-mails.

Geeze Ryan! And to think that all day long, I had visions of you curled up rocking in the fetal position, sucking your thumb in some corner; because you were so upset I couldn't meet you!! Way to make a girl feel irreplacable!! And there is no way I can compete with lesbians, (too dang straight!) basketball players, (too short!) Swedes with accents, (too American) or 40 year olds. (give me 15) So what do I have to offer you??? Seriously though, I'm gladja had fun! Oh! And I survived JUST FINE without YOU too!! (sticking out my tongue!!) In the morning we stopped for breakfast at this SUPER DUPER fancy place called Le' Bob Evans. The maitre d' was very nice,
and let us come in even though we didn't have reservations! Then we arrived at that AWESOME mall!! Bought some cute, cuTE , CUTE things!! And pretty much shopped till we dropped....still awake?? Guess you had to be there to appreciate it.... I actually did get some Christmas shopping done, though, so, good on me!! Coastal Flats for a late lunch! All in all, just a fun day to hang out with friends before the new, hectic week starts! You know?? Well, the weather is GAWJUSS, so im grabbing my bicycle, & heading out for a nice. Long. Ride!!! So we'll set up another play-date for next Sunday, unless you and your girls have already made plans! Have a good Monday tomorrow!!!(aaaaaaakkkk.I am SO NOT a

Subject: Typical Guys !
OK Sandee, Do you remember in high school when you disappointed some guy and then he did something to try to make you feel guilty or maybe he asked out your best friend to make you feel jealous. Yeah, typical immature male passive aggressive behavior. Certainly as guys grow older they would get rid of that behavior right? Wrong! Guys are always guys and they are always immature! So here is my passive aggressive behavior to: 1) Make you feel guilty 2) Make you jealous So after getting over the devastation of you not coming up I decide to dust myself off and start all over again. So I went over to the gym and just
played with myself. Racquetball that is! Get your mind out of the gutter! So after playing with myself for about 20 minutes my friend ***** comes over (yes his name is ***** - he's a lawyer and is a boot camp regular with me) and asks if I want to play basketball. I said yes and go over to the court with him. Except he is not really playing basketball; it is a class called Silver Hoops he is taking along with four 40-something Lesbians (sorry that was not PC - trust me I'm not homophobic, actually one of the ladies is not she and her husband own the coffee place in town). So your GUILT is that instead of spending time with you I had to take the Silver Hoops class which ended up being really hard. We did a lot of full court layup and defensive drills. Feel GUILTY now! So what is the JEALOUSLY? The last 20 minutes of class we played 3 on
3. I got paired up with the instructor Helga. Yeah you guess it - she is Swedish! I knew immediately from the accent. Well, it wasn't pleasant - she KICKED my ASS! Turns out Helga is not only Swedish and a fitness instructor - she is also a former professional basketball player. So instead of getting my ass kicked by you on the racquetball court I got my ass kicked by Helga the Swedish Pro Basketball pLaya'. R U JEALOUS! But I do hope you had fun today! Perhaps a re-do next Sunday afternoon. Take Care, Ryan

Sandee oh Sandee,
Oh well, based on the Cincinnati comment you may never get this. But just in case you do I have one thing to say about my favorite Office episode.
And this may actually be very cogent to our age situation (yes of course I googled that!).
"We need to Youth-a-nize the office!" :)
I am found many an afternoon watching the office on the big screen at the gym while working out. Just wanted to run that little visual by you!
I also like the episode where Michael organized the office basketball game in the store room - because I'm such a basketball guy. And I also love Ricky Gervais.
I hear you on lunch but if there as any chance to run out for coffee later this week let me know (I could probably work in Wed or Fri in the late afternoon). I don't mind if your in your cute hygenist clothes if you don't mind me in my Micky D's uni! A quick after work drink may be possible as well and you are always welcome to run up here to my ville to kick my ass in raquetball! If none of that works let me know if you have a day off next week and I'll work on my schedule!
Also wanted to tip my hat to your "govunah" salutation the other day, are you a Mary Poppins fan?
Enjoy the market and pick me up a six pack of Yuengling or Rolling Rock!

The priest thing is funny, it reminded me of Bill Cosby. You know growing up I thought I was Jesus Crist because my dad was always saying "Jesus Crist will you clean up your room! Jesus Crist get inside out of the rain....."

Good Mornin' Sandee,
So I have to admit as a 43 year old woman I was thinking you must own stock in Creme de la Mer to have such wonderful skin! But I'm OK with 25 if you're OK with the fact that I am as advertised a "dirty old man." :)
As a mature man I appreciate the admiration but I assure you all men, regardless of age, are perfectly capable of being immature!
Really my only grip is this - "facetious?" Crist! That's the second time you have sent me to google to find out what the heck you mean! But no, I did very much like your outfit with the green jacket and contrasting green nail polish - it did look very striking in that setting with the trees behind you. Dare I say, keeping in mind your favorite movie, a bit Elvish - alluring, enchanting, and mysterious!
Thanks for liking my writing, compliments will get you EVERYTHING (with me)! So some more boring "me" stuff. I guess my one life regret would be that I didn't persue writing. I minored in English and wrote for my high school and college newspapers.
As boss I would think by now you could tell I'm a dead ringer for Michael Scott!!! Are you an Office fan?
I like the cross-marketing idea about the brownies and the dentist. Perhaps you could just set up a kiosk in his office. Say buy one get one free brownie with each filling. Or say a punch card on fillings - 10 fillings and get one free brownie. Root canal = brownie cake!
Take care, I look forward to hearing about your day,
Ryan
OK, one more thing. Since we are all about admissions now - here is mine. And I warn you now this could be earth shattering to you!
Back in the day when little Ryan liked to play Little League baseball at second base his hero was Joe Morgan of that team in Southern Ohio. I know you are all Cleveland fanny but I to admit......
yes, I am a big Reds fan along with the Nats of course. My guess is that you are not a fan of Cincinnati teams. But don't worry the "Bungles" are too riduculous to support.
Btw - I do love Cincy chili!
So do you hate me now? :)

Oh ryan, Ryan, RYAN! You sure are a witty little fella..I have another career option for you: Writing! Your flare for the written word, along with that humor of yours, is VERY entertaining! I would buy all of your books, AND be your biggest fan! :) Instant groupie and you haven't even started....What say you??
Glad you like my (mint) green polish.. although knowing you, you MIGHT be being a tad facetious..who knows??
I only get to do the "nude" nail for work, so I like to "GET DOWN WITH A LITTLE CRAYZAAAY" on the week-ends!! You too?? I'm sure you probably don't get to do polish in your line of work either..just a wild guess. I could be all wrong...You're prob a "Fire Engine Red" kind of guy, am I right??
Sorry if I bombarded you with questions about your work...I just love picking peoples brains- no matter the size, and seeing what makes them tick. (undergrad in Psychology, eh hem..) Plus I am genuinely intrigued with your line of work. Are you a mean ole nasty boss to work for, or do you have your employees in stitches all day?? I'm guessing the latter! :)
BTW: I just informed the cops you're into crack dealing..they should be on your doorstep aaaaaaany sec now. Just thought you'd like to know...
Tanks awot for the career advice, about selling me brownies.. I 'ppriciate it!! Your mind seems rather sharp, well edjumicated, so I haven taken everything you said and filed it under, "important!"
So I will start small by selling my brownies to my patients first. The dentist should back me on account it's drumming up more bih-niss for him, too!! Brilliant!!
I will be looking forward to hearing some of those back-stage, concert stories you have! The only shoulder rub I have had with fame was, I got to meet Phil Koegan (sp?) from the AMAZING RACE!! You ever watch that show?? OMG!! LOVES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and one more..!
Enjoy watching your "reason for living" tonight. Oye! I hope it never gets cancelled! If it does, call me first, and I will get you that suicide hot-line number..ok?? Promise?
Well that's about it for now...ummmmm (tapping my head) yeah. That's it.
So enjoy the last night of the w/e (sigh)

Hey Sandee,
Beautiful pic! I am obsolutely chartruese with envy at the person who got to take that picture. I like a girl who is confindent enough to wear green nail polish! It is definitely elegant, and suits you and the atmosphere. Although tell me if my computer colors are off :)
So my career and passion. I have to get all serious for that - I hope you can stay focused on my ramble.
DELETE ALERT - following info to likely to "OUT" Ryan..... Pretend this is like one of those government documents that the CIA marks through in BLACK! :)
I like your brownie concept! You know little micro-desserts are kind of the "in thing" small guiltless pleasures you know. Cupcakes have been the hot concept for the past few years. I was actually watching Cupcake Wars last night. Perhaps I can be your side kick for the first Brownie Wars. And I love Blondies as well (the dessert that is, although blond ladies are rather nice as well!)
So I say go for it on the brownies. Start with catering at small parties and get a reputation and then try to sell wholesale to local coffee houses until you get enough cash flow to open a store front!
Maybe the marketing could center around you and the Blondie image with a Blondie lyric: "I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming"
So onto music and my split personality. I guess my all time favorite would be REM, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots, etc. But growing up in ** ******* I always liked bluegrass and classic country; yeah I know that can be a turn off but I do love some Johnny Cash. But really I like a lot of music.
And again, I can tell you some great backstage stories from some of those great concerts at ***(I can't blow all my interesting stuff on e-mail :)
Oh and Will Ferrell movies? I guess Old School or Talledega Nights would be my favorites. But I love the skits he does on Funny or Die.com. Have you seen the Landlord skit he does with the little girl? Or any of those George Bush commercials?
OK, back to the world. Take Care

I am considering changing professions, because all that danger & EXCITEMENT seems just TOO darn intriguing to resist!!! (Have you guessed I have impulse-control issues??) But you really should put it on your list of things to do before you die! Take your Pops, he'd enjoy it too! No. I'm not bossy...why do you ask??
I read a book once that took place in DC, and the main character ate lunch at Old Ebbit's Grill. So gullible me, I Googled it, and was happy and surprised to see it really did exsist!! SO that's where we had a late lunch! You would LOVE it there!! SO GREAT!! The food is fanTAStic, and the prices aren't that bad
either!!
You mentioned the Nutcracker!! Awesome!! We travel every year to see it with my folks!!! Have you ever seen Swan Lake ?? Booooteeefullll!!!!
Actually I do find your potato chip experimenting interesting! For realz! I had no idea it involved so much science. Lovin the sea-salt idea/pickle idea btw..Mmmmmmm...yummay!! what will that taste be like? Kind of a salt & vinegar flavah? Sorry, I don't want to show my ignorance here..just curious. I always thought it would be the coolest (pun intended) job to be one of those ice-cream flavor inventors. Show your creative side, while contributing to man-kind's (and woman) hips at the same time!
Has the food industry always been the profession you wanted to get in to? A passion of yours, or a hobby?? I will bore you with one tiny dream of mine..K? K. I have ALWAYS wanted to open my own bakery! I want to start off only selling brownies & coffee. I even have the name picked out..ready?? Drum roll please.....BLONDIE'S BROWNIES!!..get it?? Play on words?? I have blonde hair & brownies are brown, so...uh! never mind... Thanks for listening to my random thoughts- you're a sport!
No, I have never been to the place you mentioned, but it sounds enjoyable! I love wine, cheese, and picnics (AND BROWNIE'S!) so that would be a neat-o idea ! I'll have my people call your people to set something up...
Well, since you've made reference to Anchorman, what is your fave Will Ferrell movie of all time?? I am an immature child-like gal, so mine is hands-down Elf!! I know! Right?? Also; You mentioned sounding arrogant..not at all! Just remember: Only *YOU*, can prevent narcissism...
Oh! Music. Do you listen to it? Classical, 80's ..what??
So, hope the swimming/tannning/mowing went well for you..no unsightly Speedo tan lines to deal with or anything... :o)

Hey Sandee,
First, let me offer my condolences to your Browns, very sorry - but at least it was a loss to a top notch team (Lions)!
Hope your day in DC is/went (going) well. I have not seen the spy museum so you'll have to tell me all about it.
OK, so no Old Bay chips for you. We have a new potato chip product we are trying out that we hydrate and then fry. We are thinking about hydrating the chips in pickle juice and then adding sea salt to flavor. What do you think about that?
And I'm sure you are also really impressed about the VITAL potato chip issues we are tackling on a daily basis up here!
Oooops, more stuff I have to delete; I've already copied and pasted too much!
The rest of today I hope to be at the pool although I think lawn mowing is unfortunately in my future as well. :( Either way I guess I'll be working on my tan!
Take Care,
Ryan
PS - I'll look forward to those Brownies whenever we go for a picnic :)

Hey Sandee,
I remember from your profile that you said you have a tender and cuddly side too so I wanted to make sure you know I have a tender side as well!
But first, three things about me:
* I do have a soft side
* I am totally addicted to YouTube and FunnyorDie.com
* I love Will Ferrell
I guess that was 3 things.
So anyway, I came across this YouTube video last night and thought I would share it with you. I like to share songs and videos with friends. So here you go, hope you like it - it shows my soft side (nothing crazy though).
Have a great day,
Ryan
