(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I woke up this mornin’ with the sundown shinin’ in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin’ out as I was a-crawlin’ in
I got up so tight I couldn’t unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

Someone painted “April Fool” in big black letters on a “Dead End” sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

Yeah yeah oh-yeah

Kenny Roger’s song “Just dropped in” has been playing in my head for a while now. It’s an inspired piece really.

Some things are just unnecessary. For example, have you seen all those annoying “win-a-free-iPod” flash ads that have been plastered all over the Internet in the last few months? They are almost impossible to ignore because they’re flashing and blinking and generally drawing attention away from the content and to themselves, but I guess that’s the point. I can live with those ads, but I don’t like ‘em.

Today I saw this ad:

Yep, pop Santa’s zit and win a free iPod. It’s from the same people who have brought us all the other God-awful “win-an-iPod” ads out there with the added bonus of being totally disgusting to boot.

The free iPod scheme is bad enough. I cannot believe people fall for selling out all their demographic information and filling out a couple of credit card offers for a “free” iPod. People have no idea what their information is worth, or that it’s not necessarily a great idea to just randomly open credit card accounts.

This is just the icing on the cake by inticing people to do stupid things and being the most pointless and disgusting ad I’ve ever seen online (and I’ve been online a loooong time).
