Flicking Your Switch! EVERYBODY DO THE ROBOT!

"923 816, is the sound of that flicking your switch..."

-Ladytron

So there's been this subtle theme throughout my life this past week. It's sort of strange how sometimes undeniably so there are patterns or fleeting threads of randomness in our lives. Sometimes we pick up on it, other times not so much. I'm usually oblivious when it comes to other people and their patterns, but I'm pretty keen on internalization and can tell when a particular pattern is developing within my own weird little world.

I'm getting to a point...promise. This past week, even up to the latest moments of me rambling on this my humble blog...the pattern continues. Robots. Robots abound.

Sound crazy? Probably, but hey I don't know why they have been popping in and out of my life as of late. I turn on my itunes to the Dj option. First song it plays is the monotone electronic infused voices of Ladytron. The song, "Flicking your switch." Then I fall asleep yesterday to the sweet sweet come sterile on's of "Gigolo Joe."

Jude Law as "Gigolo Joe," aka....SEX ROBOT!

                                                


Now as I'm all for the invention of sex robots, that's not my point here. He's just an aspect of the bigger theme. So the count thus far becomes 2 robotic renderings that have have popped up this week. The next....KEVIN! FROM SAVED BY THE BELL!

    "Kevin" Screech's robot on Saved by the Bell!

                                   
On Friday early morning before going into work I turn on the t.v. and Saved by the Bell comes on. My love for the mousse laden teen sitcom pretty much tracker beamed me into watching it. It was the episode where the gang forgets, but ultimately celebrates Screech's birthday in Belding's office. Anyway, in that episode we are introduced to the short lived but much loved (BY ME!) character Kevin. Screech's robot/friend. Um....if there is a way for me to have a robot pal I'd like to hear it VERY MUCH! Kevin was awesome, he could crack jokes, had excellent timing, and told time! It's was like having a blackberry and your best friend all rolled into one!  So that's robot number 3 that's cropped up in my life.

Number 4 on the list is.....

"Johnny 5" From the movie Short Circuit

 

So that very Friday I get into this conversation with one of my co-workers about Kevin and how cool it is and then he brings up...JOHNNY 5! J-Cinco as I like to call him is from the movie Short Circuit about this military robot that get's struck by lighting and has this massive transformation for the better! Many touching hi-jinks ensue, I suggest you watch it if you haven't. So on that note I come to my 5th robot reference!

"WALL-E" from er...Wall-e

 

 

Wall-e. I was walking to the T on my way from Cambridge back home before work on Saturday morning and I walked past this little girl pretty much chanting, "WALL-E WALL-E WALL-E WALL-E!" Another cinematic robot reference. Then I realized that Wall-e looks a lot like Johnny 5, long lost brother's maybe? Perhaps. I think the movie Wall-e has been the only movie besides "Simon Birch" that has blatantly made me cry. God-damned robot's in love...just warms the heart ya know? So that's it...robots. Not sure if this is a higher cosmic sign for something, but what I do know is that I've noticed the signs. Robots. Lot's of them. Random.

I do wish these lovely t.v./movie robot's would exist. That would be pretty neat....Gigolo Joe I'm looking in your direction! I keed I keed!

The End.
