You probably haven’t thought about this one since 1995. If you have, it might be because you’ve been following me on social media this week.
It’s been slushing around in my head since about 10 p.m. on Saturday night, when a back-yard barbecue spilled over into my kitchen for a zany throw-back dance party.
It’s a pretty accurate reflection of my state of mind lately. When I was unemployed and shuffling between my parents’ house and a friend’s walk-in closet, I swore if I could just get a job and pay my bills, I’d never ask the universe for another thing.
Four months later, I’ve got a job and a house and enough interesting people around to keep me entertained. So, I renege… I wish I had a job with better hours… I wish I made more money… I wish I had tighter abs and clearer skin and a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a ’64 Impala…
Consider yourself infected with this ridiculous beat.
“I wish I was little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a ’64 Impala”

Great song. I think this should become a continuing series, “My life as ’90s hip-hop.”
I’d probably have to invite you to guest-blog… we both know you’re the O.G.
Just as long as one of us ends up the L.G., cool.
