We're All Doomed

If this is an example of who we're turning the world over to.

Kid goes ballistic after his mom cuts off his WoW access.



What I'd like to know is this: How is sticking a remote control up his butt gonna solve anything?

Addressing This Quiz




Your Address Says You're Friendly



Right now, you are enjoying your life as it is. You wouldn't change a thing.

You feel happy for what you have. There's a lot to be thankful for.

At your best, you are welcoming and outgoing. You have a lot to give.

At your worst, you are a bit too giving toward other people. You need to think of yourself first sometimes.

49 and Holding

For over a week now this has been the message on my US Flag Counter:



That's pretty neat, considering it's only been 3 weeks since I put in the counter.

BUT, when navigating to the Flag Map, I noticed two states haven't visited this blog, both North and South Dakota:



Looking through the list, I see that it counts the District of Columbia as a state, so there's the problem.

OTOH, I better not hold my breath waiting waiting for visits from President Obama's "57 States".

On a related note, I noticed that there's now a Visitor Log which details more on each visitor, whether they're a new visitor or a new visitor from a new state (the same with the country flag counter) and what sort of operating system they're using as well as what browser.

The country count is now up to 75, and that's in less than two months of the counter being on this blog.

Cool. I suppose it's nothing really to brag about; I know of some blogs that probably get that many visitors a day as I've had total, but I think it's still neat.

Full-Time Job

genieOne day a man spotted a lamp by the roadside.

He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously and a genie appeared.

"I'll grant you your fondest wish," the genie said.

The man thought for a moment, then said,

"I want a spectacular job - a job that no man has ever succeeded at or has ever attempted to do."

"Done!!" said the Genie,

"You're a housewife."

Valentine Lady - Blue Mist

NOTE: Original vid was taken down, but this one was recently uploaded.
A little soothing Sunday music.



This is a video of a friend's group based in Austin. I featured a post about his mother after she passed away a few months ago. I accidentally stumbled across this video and a few others at YouTube after doing a search for the group.

Unless the make-up of the band has changed, I believe all the members are legally blind. (although the guy playing the bass glances at the camera, but that doesn't mean he's not visually impaired. You will notice them being led into the venue near the first of the vid) My friend Jimmy is the one playing the keyboard and is a very talented young man. (His face is never pictured and he's NOT the man playing the piano, but there are several shots of Jimmy's hands, esp. at the first. You can also see him at the right of the video when the song first starts)

Their music can be purchased at CD Baby. They also have a MySpace page with a selection of a few of their tunes.
