Too Much Macho?

Monday, August 20, 2012


Have you ever had one of those days where everything was just perfect?

I did, last Saturday.

It was one of those days where everything was in sync. From the weather being perfect, not hot or humid, to everything I did that day going smoothly and easily. There was a calm and relaxed energy in the air, and not only for me, but for everyone else in the city as well. You could feel it.

These are the kinds of days that would great if we could just store them in a bottle and then pop open the cork on days when they seem to SUCK, wouldn’t it?

I relished Saturday.

I sat in the park and communed with nature for about an hour and half, while getting some sun and not SWEATING to death. Later, I made myself a delicious lunch and then took a nice long walk throughout the city; snapping photographs. Afterwards, I went to Starbucks and had a fresh cup of dark roast coffee, while sitting in a window seat; watching urban life on the street. About 6:00 PM, I ate some dinner and then walked over to F.Y.E. I purchased one of my all-favorite comedy films (on sale, btw), My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I then went home and poured myself a nice glass of red wine, laid on the floor and watched my movie.

Yes, it was a perfect day. Actually, it was a perfect weekend!

However…..

*insert suspense music*

Earlier in the week something utterly strange happened.

Monday, I went over to You Tube to watch some music videos and found, Macho Man, by the Village People. I spent part of my early twenties in NYC during the 1970 -80's, and the Village People were very popular in Greenwich Village back then. Therefore, hearing this song again brought back a TON of great memories for me.

Suddenly, I got a brilliant idea!

I thought, I wonder what would happen if someone listened to this song five times a day for five days in a row?

Would they suddenly become exceedingly MACHO?

And would their body suddenly transform into something more virile, just by repeatedly hearing the words… “Macho, macho man…I want to be a macho man?”

So I put it to a test.

And here’s what happened….

Update: Keep your fingers crossed that my body DEFLATES soon because I can't fit into any of my clothes.

    I'll finish commenting when I stop laughing ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Okay, I've calmed down now. Yes, Macho Man, that was some transformation; you definitely should have stopped at Day Two. The last one was kinda sick-making....lol. All that right on top of reading about your relaxing day was a shock to the system. Mine! Bet you had fun doing it though.

    Happy Monday.

    Hi Ronnie,
    You silly Billy :) This is why you were so busy this weekend!

    I agree with Jeanne and Valerie that you looked best at Day 2. The sexiest Ronnie for me, too!!
    I love the village people :))

    Thank you for a happy Monday share, you "Macho man" :).

  1. Ron said...:

    Hey there Barb~

    Silly Billy indeed! Aren't I INSANE???

    It took me about three days to put this video together, but it was so much fun. The hard part was finding photos that got progressively bigger in size. Editing it was a challenge too, but I've learned so much using Windows Movie Maker!

    Thanks so much for stopping by, dear friend! Happy Monday to you! Have a great week!

    X to you and D!

    Ron, I'm sitting here at work at my desk laughing so hard and everyone is asking me why? This video is hilarious. How creative you are. And of course I'll be singing Macho Man for the rest of day!

    Isn't My Big Fat Greek Wedding one of the best comedies? I own that film too.

    Have a wonderful week, Ron. Thanks for the Monday morning laughs.

  1. Ron said...:

  1. Ron said...:

    Hiya Babs~

    "Give me a nicely shaped man over a man with big muscles any day :)"

    5x per day has got to be the limit, though. I don't think Philadelphia could contain a larger dose of macho!!

    fabulous monday fun!! hugs~ diane

  1. How funny Ron! It's been a while I had a truly perfect day. But I have had good ones. Recently spent a day with my dear mom and sis. Art, lunch with wine and ice-cream after vintage shopping. Kiss!

  1. Rob Lenihan said...:

    Ye. gods, Ron, who needs steroids when they've got the Village People! I think athletes all over the world will be ditching the roids in favor of your video! Of course, that last day may have been just a little excessive. Oh, well, keep flexing, buddy and have a great week!

  1. Mel said...:

    Well.......I LOVE those times when everything just feels RIGHT and it's all good! Of course, you realize in my case 90% of it's my attitude. That other 10%--stupid people doing stupid things? LOL Ah well--I think it's awesome you had a sweat free, stress free, photo filled, ON THE FLOOR with the wine movie IN, day! Well done, you!

    Is this where I confess--never seen the movie....... *blushing* But I DID watch the trailer you have here--and maybe renting it would be okay! (without the wine....LOL)

    As for the transformation--ummmm.....ewwww.

    But I gotta tell ya........I'm now filled with fear!
    The damn song is stuck in my head thanks to you--and I know what happens when I get stucksongitus!

    Five days, five times a day could happen!

    I don't EVEN wanna know what results I could reap from that.
    I will, however, blame YOU.........

    Exactly! Who needs steroids when you got the Village People!!!! Much safer and healthier. However, as you can tell from this video....

    a little Village People goes a LONG way - Bwhahahahhaaha!

    You know, you're absolutely right...it's all in the attitude. And for some reason, that day (weekend) everyone (including myself) had a great attitude. There was this really great energy in the air!

    "Is this where I confess--never seen the movie....... *blushing* But I DID watch the trailer you have here--and maybe renting it would be okay! (without the wine....LOL)"

    Mel, it's SUCH a cute movie and the trailer doesn't even do it half justice. It's both funny AND touching. It has the most AWESOME cast too! Save it for a night when you and himself feel like sitting back and just laughing.

    "The damn song is stuck in my head thanks to you--and I know what happens when I get stucksongitus!

    Oh, my. LOL. Not that I don't think you're a macho guy already, but I just have to say - having a bit of fun with Photoshop, are we? ;)

    Your Saturday sounds perfect! Mine was, too. Communing with nature in the morning, watching a great live concert in the evening, and getting blitzed in between. Ahh...life doesn't get much better than that!

  1. Herman Turnip said...:

    "Shit...what the hell happened?!" Heh....man, that's awesome! Heh. You're too much.

    Oddly enough, I was listening to the radio last week while driving home, and the host was talking about the time he interviewed The Village People. He said that he was approached by their manager who pulled him aside and said, "Don't talk to the indian."

    "What do you mean?" the host asked.

    "He's too high. Too high. Just...don't talk to him," the manager replied.

    Heh....

  1. OK, I SO facebooked that. You aren't on facebook to see, but I could NOT resist. That is HYSTERICAL! I need to drive up there and stick a pin in you!!! Then you will fly around the room making farting noises... PFFTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Ron said...:

    Howdy Mark~

    "Not that I don't think you're a macho guy already, but I just have to say - having a bit of fun with Photoshop, are we? ;)"

    HA! Gee...do you think?

    Actually, it's not Photoshop, it's this free online website (Face In Hole) that allows you to play around with your photos; superimposing them onto other peoples bodies. It's so much FUN!

    "Mine was, too. Communing with nature in the morning, watching a great live concert in the evening, and getting blitzed in between. Ahh...life doesn't get much better than that!"

    It sure doesn't! Isn't it great to have a weekend like that?

    And I love a perfect day like that. Isn't it funny how a good cup of joe and some red wine improve a day?

    It sure does. And I just tried a new red wine that was recommended to me from a friend. It was faaaaaabulous!

    Oh Ron, THAT was priceless...or should I say I would've paid to watch it!

    I've always liked that "Macho Man" song and now...well I gotta tell you I will never be able to listen to it without thinking of you in that speedo...good thing it wasn't on backwards! hee hee!

    I'm glad you "deflated" because that last picture was just a bit much. I don't know why any man would want to be that "macho"!

    I'm really glad you had a great energy weekend. I hope I get one of those soon. I've been "thinking" good energy thoughts and I do believe the energy is surrounding me but I'm so exhausted that I'm not sure my body is up to letting it in! I may need to meditate or something.

    Thanks for the great laughs...and I DID laugh out loud! YOU da bomb!

    Hahaha!! Loved the vid, but uh, yes those final images were a little crazy!!
    I absolutely ADORE the movie MBFGW. Infact, it was on the night before last and OF COURSE I watched a few scenes. We originally saw it in the theater but now that it's been running on cable we are catching it again. Ron loves it too.
    As for the perfect day/weekend .... I can't remember the last time I had one of those. If I could block out pain/depression ... maybe?? Oh but enough of all that. I'm glad YOU have had some awesome days!! That's really cool.

    "I absolutely ADORE the movie MBFGW. Infact, it was on the night before last and OF COURSE I watched a few scenes."

    I freaking LOVE that movie and forgot how GREAT it really was until I purchased the DVD and watched it again. The cast is STELLAR! I love Andrea Martin as the Aunt!
