Hippies, patchouli and live music

The wife, kid and I all had Sunday off together.  I had heard Folk Fest was happening in St. Pete and figured it would be a good way to spend the day.  I’m not a huge fan of hippies (shocker, there) but I do like their music.

On the ride over I took the opportunity to explain to [...]

Yet another sign that the world will end soon.. Oh, shit, wait -this one’s for real.

Having worked in a Christian bookstore I was exposed to End of Days scenarios on an almost constant basis.  It is a favorite topic among a certain percentage of Christians, and it invariably gets coverage on a global scale once or twice a year (usually when the Gays start making a fuss).  The whole End [...]

Time for the stern words and the pointed fingers.

We have uncovered a classic terrorist plot.  A cell in the US was planning on using backpack bombs to create havoc and death in NYC.  Now we have the cell leader in custody.  Word is the cell could be anywhere from 9 to 23 people large.  Regardless, there are still some of these guys out [...]

OK, Az, need some help

I want to install some plug ins.  The way I’m seeing it, the best way to add music and videos to the ole’ blog is through plug ins.  But I have to upload the plugins.  Which I believe requires use of the FTP site at nothingforeveryone.com, the site you originally gave me to put pictures on the [...]

Pretty picture.  This is an experiment, a successful one.  Previously I had to add the picture to another site provided by Az, then copy it from that site to this site.  Except I would always forget the passwords, and now my passwords don’t work.  Hence all my wordiness and few pictures.  This will help change that [...]

Run, Forest! Run!

A high school football coach just narrowly missed jail time because one of his players died from heat stroke.  Practice was tough that day and it got to one of the kids and three days later the kid was dead.  The kid was taking ADD medication that may have worsened the heat effects, but then [...]

I have to admit, I was a little Lost.

I watched Lost for the first time tonight.  I worked with people that felt that this thing was the second coming.  Better than X-Files, better than.. anything.  They couldn’t wait for the next episode, they bought books, read newspaper and magazine articles, compared notes, and treated themselves poorly staying up all night re watching the [...]

Those arn’t body bags, they’re little wigwams.

Canadians have this flu thing whipped.  They said so on the TV.  H1N1 beware, you are about to get slapped Canadian bacon style.  There is one little image issue, teeny weeny when you get down to it: the hundreds of body bags that have sent to Indian Reservations.  The ones sent to the reservations every year in [...]

Clash of the Titans

My thanks to Az for far exceeding my expectations with his recent contribution to my Ipod.  My collection now tips the 10,000 mark and still growing.  But what amazes me is the effect of Az’s selections on my collection.  It is like the melding and in some cases clashing of two distinct personalities.  Az’s musical [...]

No one puts Swayze in the corner..

But me thinks someone will be putting him in a box.  Patrick Swayze, my wife will miss you.
