The Killers and . . . Gachapin?

another fun day of doing this and that in my big small world.  throw in a little exercise and some organizing, music, a podcast and Monday Night Football, and then a call from Mike and that was my monday.  this morning on the Tom Morton Show, i heard a catchy song called "all these things that i've done" but the main lyric was "i've got soul, but i am not a soldier."  perhaps i am a year or two behind the times but i had never heard this song.  the name of the band singing this song is The Killers. i did a quick google and youtube search and found out more about The Killers and this song. that was this morning.  after a nice workout out at the gym in the early afternoon, i checked my "work" email when i got home and found out my friend Mike from Florida will be here tomorrow on an "overnite".  he called during the Steelers/Ravens game and we made tentative plans for tomorrow.  last time he was here i downloaded some Debbie Gibson into my iPod for him.  i told him i would find something interesting for him this time.  and then i remember Gachapin. i bought something for his son the last time i was in Japan with the character of Gachapin on it.  i think it would be called a "pencil carrier" and i thought he could use it on his first day at school.  so,  thought i should find a video on youtube featuring Gachapin.  and to my surprise i found another cool song with an even cooler video by The Killers with a special appearance by  . . . Gachapin.  check this out: Read My Mind
