what is it about jim and life??

Okay I crack me up. Hey if I can't laugh at myself what hope is there for me? I was doing a bit of a look back to my September 2006 posts as I wanted to double check my Digi Designer Anniversary While I was there I read some of my posts and had a bit of a giggle at myself and the things I wrote. I'm such a dork - a big sappy goofy in love dork!!

So anyways I noticed one of the posts titles is " there is life jim" I laughed at this and had to come back to monday's post to double check what I used for that title - and it was "that's life Jim". So I did a quick search to see if I had any other posts with that 'phrase' and sure enough in August 2006 there is a "it's life jim" post.

What the hell is with the Jim and life thing???

Seems a song from my youth has firmly planted itself into my brain and will not go away!!! What song you ask?

Well none other then "Star' Trekkin" my memory of this song is the Kruger State School Fate 1988 - I was in grade five, my class did a spaceship kind of thing and us girls all did a dance to this song. I remember I had glow in the dark stuff everywhere -face paint the works. It was a lot of fun. But I think I sang/heard that song a million times... the funnier thing is that I had no idea what Star Trek was back then. And when I do use the "that's life jim" stuff I wonder if anyone knows where that is coming from and if they think I'm a "trekie' cause I'm not!! You won't find any star trek things in my house - or even the houses of my family.

So yes when ever I use the words "It's life Jim" or a mix there of... you can be sure the following is being sung in my poor head....

Star Trekkin', across the universe
On the Starship Enterprise,
under Captain Kirk.

Star Trekkin', across the universe,
Boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow,
starboard bow, starboard bow.
There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow,

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it,
not as we know it, not as we know it.
It's life, Jim, but not as we know it,
not as we know it, Captain.
