Making My Dreams Come True

That would be my montage song.  Unless I had to fight the Russian and then it would be Eye of the Tiger, obviously.  No one can beat the Russian by working out to a Hall and Oates song.  But if I were trying to get in shape or find the perfect outfit or redecorate the house in a funky sort of way, Hall and Oates without fail.
The idea behind the montage is to speed the story along and to have more than the opening and closing credit song on the soundtrack.  The idea behind my montage is not to speed the story up, life goes pretty fast (thanks Ferris).  But rather to make the not so fun, fun.  Cleaning house, doing sit ups, chasing chickens and racing Apollo Creed isn't fun, though jumping in the crashing waves with Apollo Creed probably is!  You know the scene I am talking about when grown men weren't afraid to wear short shorts and pull their socks up over their calves.  Now it's just the opposite and shorts hang down to the socks that are pushed down.  If we would have lost the cold war, that would have been one of the reasons.  Sloppy short wearing.
I think montages help one get through the tedious and boring parts of life.  And yet, we look back fondly because of the spunky back beat and catchy chorus.  Making My Dreams Come True is in my head right now and I attempt to montage this blog.
