It's time again for my list of one hit wonders. The year 1992 the the gave us President H. W. Bush puking in the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister and not even a week later Japan apologizes for forcing Korean women to become sex slaves during WWII. The year that Euro Disney opened only to be rename Disneyland Paris two years later, it was a year after that they saw their first quarterly profit. And who can forget the L.A. Riots? This year also saw Pope John Paul II issue an apology to Galileo and lift the inquisition on him even though he died 350 years earlier in his home alone because the church put him on house arrest and limited his visitors for fear of a conspiracy and heresy.
The year also gave us such celebrities as Taylor Lautner, Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson, Kate Upton, Selena Gomez, Damian McGinty from Glee, Josh Hutcherson, who played Peta in hunger Games, and Miley Cyrus.
On the bright side it also gave us these one hit wonders.
This blog is just a collection of my random thoughts, stories from my past, and stories of fantasy

Top One Hit Wonders of the 90's Part 2 (1991)
Well it's time for part 2 of my one hit wonders of the 90's. When it came to the year 1991 I had a very difficult time finding songs that I liked. In fact I was lucky to find ten of them for my top ten list. Well might as well get going with the list, but first let me repeat my little disclaimer so that I don't hear the complaints about some of these being called one hit wonders.
I know that some of you may argue that some of these artists are not one hit wonders. So the list contains recording artists who reached the Top 40 of the U.S. pop chart (the Billboard Hot 100) with just one single. This means that there may be some artists on these lists may have had released other songs in their genre, however they did not reach the top 40 on the Billboard 100 chart which is the standard measure for musical hits.
Now the list:

Top One Hit Wonders of the 90's Part 1
Last week on Facebook I announced that I would do a top ten list of the top one hit wonders of the 1990's. After some consideration I decided to sort of drag it out some and first do a top ten list for each year of the 90's from 1990 til 1999 after which I will do a list for the entire decade.
Before I start the list I feel I should put up a disclaimer. I know that some of you may argue that some of these artists are not one hit wonders.

With that out of the way it's time to start the list.

A McDonald's Ad and the comments it got
It all started as I was looking around on the web and went to the Yahoo main page. On the Yahoo main page was a news story about some French McDonald's ad that had just gone viral. So since, like most of America, I've worked at McDonald's and have eaten there a few times I decided to check it out.
Well the ad shows a young boy sitting in the booth waiting for his dad to get back and looking at his class picture. He then get a phone call and tells the person on the other line that he misses them and he is looking at their class picture and he loves them and whatnot and as his dad gets back to the table he hangs up the phone. His dad goes on and talks about how in his school days he was quite the ladies man and goes on to say that it's too bad everyone in his son's class is a boy cause he'd make quite the ladies man himself.

My Hectic & Wonderful Week Part 1
Well this past week was one hell of a crazy one for me. It all started last Wednesday when I got up early to take my grandma to the airport then after that I promised my sister I'd help her move the last of her stuff from where she was staying back to my mom's house, however leaving the airport instead of going on 275 North I went 275 South and I ended up getting very lost luckily I was able to get directions from a cute girl at a 7-11 that was able to get me to 19.
Well I finally made it to my mom's house and after packing up some more stuff I waited around for Marisa to get off work. Once she got home I followed her to the house she was staying at, we grabbed her stuff and I dropped it off and left because I had to run home and unpack my car before heading back out to find the house where my friends wanted me to meet them.
