Here I sit, in the quiet of night.  Even the dog is fast asleep, dreaming of fetch, and chasing squirrels.  Insomnia sure does give a person a lot of time to think.

This is normally a time when I would be watching mindless re-runs on television, to distract me from reality.  It's funny, during a time when I should be in mourning, reflecting on the ( Read more... )

It has been my conscious decision not to blog very much these past few months.  Frankly, there for a while, I wasn't even sure enough of my own thoughts on life to try to impart any comedy or wisdom to anybody who might read my words.  Frankly, it's been a rough year.  Not that it was all bad... it wasn't...  there were parts that were fun and ( Read more... )

Okay, folks... here we go...

I have been trying to give all of you a break with my American Idol stuff, and I just have to say one thing.

I LOVE NORMAN GENTLE!  Ha!  I could not believe what I just saw on that stage!  Yeah, his singing was pretty awful, but his slightly-altered version of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" (altered, to "And I Am ( Read more... )

This is one of Grandpa's favorite Christmas songs.  I will always remember his hearty laughter every time I hear this one...

Your heart's an empty ( Read more... )

I totally wish I could have all these songs, for four easy payments of $29.99.

LOL

I crack myself up.

TWO BITS OF FUNNY NEWS FOR TODAY:

One of the gossip columnists on MSN News actually used the word "asshatty", when describing an interview given by Chris Klein, to Elle Magazine in 2005. I was shocked and amazed that this word was used... but after further investigation in to the young gentleman's words, I completely agree that "asshatty" was ( Read more... )

Last night, I was watching a made-for-tv movie (I forget the name), about an elementary school teacher with Tourette's Syndrome.  It was a very touching movie, and very reminiscent of something one might find in a "Chicken Soup for the Neuropsychiatric Patient" book.

In this movie, the spastic schoolteacher finds a girl who doesn't mind his ( Read more... )

Apparently, there's this sub-culture of people who have begun "rickrolling" people online.  According to Wikipedia:

Rickrolling is an Internet meme typically involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a Web link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but ( Read more... )
