Think Before You Take that Midnight Train .. Going Anywhere!

I am finally get over a rough patch of sickness, and my brain is rebelling by being extremely silly!


This came together fairly easily. The picture made me think of the song, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, that has somehow become a song classic within the last 10 years. If you ever watch the "React" type videos on Youtube, even teens know this song, and many even know the band!

Why the photo made me think that is beyond me right now, but anyway! When I was younger, I was like, "if they are both on a midnight train, why didn't they crash into each other?" and then, "well, are they both also on the midnight train to Georgia?" as if every song in existence belonged to the same universe. I mean, what if Lola from the Kinks song, was also the same Lola from "Copa Cabana" by Barry Manilow? Think about it, won't you?

So this is just a bit of fluffy fun expanding on that though from when I was young. I knew that Jinny would enjoy it and she did. Besides, there are way too many midnight trains in pop music history!

Mentioned that I was going to post another TG TV type caption today. Also mentioned in the comments that I should probably list some shows that I DO watch. This would probably be a really short list, so let's go!

One of my favorite shows, well until the last season, was Archer. It's an animated "spy" comedy set in an undetermined past, like in the 60's-80's but with cell phones and computers and .. it's just a great show with so many snappy lines of dialog. There's a heiress with a choking sex fetish, Archer is a alcoholic Bond-type operative with a mommy fetish. They have a Q type guy who possibly is a clone of Adolph Hitler who created a hologram anime girlfriend, and those are only a few of the characters.


Another is Rick and Morty. Hard to describe, but if Back to the Future was written by Seth MacFarlane on acid. One of the best shows ever on Adult Swim, and created by Dan Harmon, of Community fame. Rick is an alcoholic scientist who travels between multi-verses, often with his grandson Morty, and they've buried many versions of their other selves within the 3 years. In this clip, Rick had turned himself into a pickle, because obvious reasons!


I've been watching American Ripper, with the claim that Chicago Death Hotel serial killer, H. H. Holmes is also London's infamous Saucy Jack. Three episodes remain, and all the evidence is as circumstantial as could be, but it is still compelling in a odd way. The Former CIA operative Amaryllis Fox sits in chairs really weirdly, like she is being possessed by a 6 year old child.


Oh yeah, and I watch American Pickers when I'm seated in front of an actual TV.


For sports, it's mostly NFL football, not college, and I'll watch the NHL Hockey games. If there is a good PPV for WWE or UFC, I'll watch that too.

I tend to watch Youtube for things like Honest Trailers, the React Channel, and many different kinds of Bushcraft Adventuring. Of course, music and live concert videos are a big part of my Youtube diet too. Nothing like seeing a band live and firing on all cylinders to get the blood flowing!
