Need a good laugh

This was kinda funny prank video (mostly audio) - I needed a good laugh this afternoon.

Warren Miller Rocks!

If you haven't seen a Warren miller movie, you need to check one out. He is a skier who is now in his 80's but he started filming snow-skiers years ago. The last few years he has put out a movie a year: Coldfusion, Impact, Off the Ground, this years is "Childen of WInter". His crew films extreme skiing and other xtreme winter sports at its best.....people that spend 10 hours hiking up a mountain in the Himalayas, just to enjoy the 15 mins it takes to ski back down; Marines that have helicopter access to a mountain in Alaska that no one else can ski, also base jumping, etc.

The feeling I get playing Pure or other ATV>Skating>Snowboading games are similar to these awesome movies. I just feel free, inspired, like I can do anything. The cinematography in his movies are amazing, and the soundtracks are 100% nu-rock...just makes you want to get off your ass and live!

Vote for Bill

  Bill HAS DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.



HERE IS HIS PLATFORM:
 
(1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is
the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.
 
(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to 
straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will
use the 'Wal-Mart' policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'
 
(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.
 
(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our
many observation towers on the southern border. (six month tour) They
will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
 
(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state.  If
you didn't put nuttin' in, you ain't gettin nuttin' out. The president
nor any other politician will not be able to touch it.

(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40
hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a
passing grade.
 
(7) Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you
check positive you're banned for life.
 
( Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal,
you lose your right hand. There are no more life sentences.  If
convicted, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for
your victim: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
 
(9) One export will be allowed: Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel
of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
 
(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately
cease and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately
lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the
American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund and each
citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.
 
(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and
every day in Congress.
 
(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies,
sporting events, outings, etc.
 
Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for me will get
you better than what you have and better than what you're gonna get. 
Thanks for listening and remember to write in my name on the ballot
in November.
                 God Bless America !!!!!!!!!!!

Blog Ratings and the Type A Personality

I am interested in the reactions some of my writings have evoked.

A few of my observations:

The blog I thought was the dumbest, most embarrassing one I've written received the most "Thumbs Up".

The ones on gaming have received the most thumbs down. (it was just a survey, didn't voice a strong opinion).

The more thumbs down, the more positive comments. (eg....people giving thumbs down are probably not commenting at all)

eg; I don't see a correlation here at all....if the topic is not of interest, people don't have to read a blog. Why give a thumbs down and no comment?

Maybe I'm not getting the purpose of the thumbs up/down system.

Oh, well, I'm having fun writing, and i've met some really nice folks here!

Mom Shops with Daughter: Both Live

For those of you with little onesL enjoy the poopy diapers, the throw-up in church, the teething, the temper tantrums, the years of going with never a full night's sleep, because you have ahead of you . . . . . . . .the TEEN years. My youngest daughter, soon to be 18, took me (and my checkbook) shopping this weekend for her homecoming dress.

(Oh, Man...just saw as ad for "Pure" ...didn't know it was an ATV racer...looks awesome)...oops, sorry...got distracted...

Anyway, mind you, I have a degree in fashion design and worked for 12 years in NYC in the garment district, but as a MOM, I don't know ANYTHING about fit, color, design, or style. She is 4'11.5" and would look amazing in Jessica McClintock, but NoooOOOOooo, she wants the dress that Marilyn wore when she sang Happy Birthday to Jack. But I am not the mom who is going to tell my kid what she can or cannot wear to her Senior year parties, and I'm especially not the mom who wants to hear that the evening was a disaster because the dress I recommended was (pick one:  ) laughed at, strap breaks, gives her a hives, makes her boyfriend break up with her, or ....and by far the worst.....has a twin at the same dance!) , so we get the Marilyn dress. And she even said, "Thanks Mom", and best of all....her dad gave me a check today for the price of the dress!
