Happy New Year!

I dare say many folks are glad to see 2008 come to an end.
Rather than dwell on the past 12 months, I’d like to look forward.  As a rule, I try my best to give God my hurts and my needs.  I also give Him my desires.  To Him belongs everything.  So, with that said, [...]

Rockology & Caption Winners

When I came home from the gym today, I kind of collapsed onto the couch and just mindlessly watched television for a couple of hours.  As I was channel surfing, I stopped on VH 1 Classics.  There was a British produced series about the creative process behind huge albums.  The two I saw were Queen’s [...]

Whatever I want Wednesday…

Alison Krauss–”There is a Reason”

Chocolate tells no lies.

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You

You are sweet, mellow, and easily satisfied.
You don’t like anything too intense and dramatic.
Deep down, you’re a kid at heart… and you’re nostalgic for the past.

You are emotionally expressive and sensitive.
You’re effected by everything around you.
Your friends appreciate your open heart, but they are afraid of hurting your [...]

Just because…

Add alcohol, get idiot…I know from experience.

Mini-mart Employee:  Sir, you need to pay for that soda or leave the store.
Drunk Dude:  Eh, I don’t think sooooooooo.  I want my soder (Wisconsin accent).
Employee:  Sir, you need to give us $1.57 for the soda or put it back and leave.
Drunk Dude:  From my cold, dead hands will you take this soda from me.
Employee:  [...]

So, how was your morning?

I was sleeping, soundly, when all of sudden BANG!  I live next to a major highway and I thought maybe someone took down another light pole (happened last week).  Nope.  Then I hear my mom’s frantic voice on the phone.  Damn.
Apparently, stuff had been happening for a little while and it was a second loud [...]

It’s somebody’s birthday, today!!!!!

On this date in history, many important things happened:

Texas entered the Union (but their Cowboys are still losers…heh).
The British captured Savannah, GA, but left behind enough butter for Paula Deen to make culinary history.
In 1956 the U.S. prepared a new “stragtegic plan for the Middle East”.  Yeah, that worked well.
The NCAA was born.

The most important [...]

My gift to you…

No weigh-in.    Well, I did weigh myself, and I weigh less than this time last week.  I just thought we could all use the break.
I don’t know about you all, but I think I’m developing a twitch from looking at my scale.
Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

On pointe

Wowzers!  What a day!  A good one, if I say so myself.  I got to fulfill a childhood wish, one born out of a book I read (when I was young) about a young girl and her experience of playing Clara in The Nutcracker.
A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a ticket to today’s matinee [...]

Hope you aren’t eating right now.

Hmmm…before I had dental coverage, I was lucky enough to not have major problems, and could avoid the dentist for a while.  However, what do you do if you really have a problem?  Why if you are in Peekskill, NY, you go to your neighborhood faux dentist.  Be warned, though, he might exhibit the attention [...]

Some funnies for your Friday!

Today, I am on one of my “adventures”.  In fact, I am fulfilling a childhood wish.  Nothing real huge, but it is a big deal to me.  I’ll tell you all about it later in the day.
Until then, enjoy these funnies.

Seriously, folks, go support this company!

We all know that so many people deserving of their jobs, and the benefits provided by those jobs, are finding themselves in the unemployment line.  I need not tell you that many families are suffering.
A couple of months ago, Archway Cookies (mmm….cookie goodness) closed up its business in Ohio and sent 300 people into a [...]
