Good for them. The CD is really good.

And so much for the theory that their career is in the tank because of Maine's rant against the President.

Memorial Day

I didn't forget as we were away all weekend (see me previous post) but today is Memorial Day here in the United States. The day we pay respect to the men and women who have fallen defending our country and of our allies who have also died in the cause of liberty and freedom. May you all R.I.P.

Memorial Day Weekend

Just got back from Wisconsin where we spent Memorial Day weekend with the in-laws. We kept busy helping them get ready for their new house to be put on the foundation on Tuesday. But it wasn't all work as I did get to play a little. Here's me on the quad having a little fun.

Chron.com | Veterans' ID Theft May Be Largest Ever

They waited two weeks to inform the FBI???? Someone needs to be fired right now.

Chron.com | Veterans' ID Theft May Be Largest Ever: "Veterans Affairs officials waited two weeks to call in the FBI to investigate the theft of sensitive personal data, delaying a warning to 26.5 million veterans now at risk in one of the nation's largest security breaches. Lawmakers from both parties demanded answers."

Flippin' wonderful. Can't anyone safeguard all this personal info anymore? Hopefully I won't get hit by this though I'm one of them who's on the list.

Unleash the Fury!

Unleash the fury! Went to Pops last night and saw Yngwie Malmsteen unleash the fury on us. I do have to say the man is an impressive guitarist but...it didn't do a lot for me. His playing is phenomenal but everyone else in the band is just there in the background. The songs themselves aren't really what I would call songs. Just a vehicle for him to solo and do guitar histronics. Not that there is anything wrong with that or that at times I don't want to see and hear it. But after seeing Steve Vai last year and what he does with his band I was left underwhelmed by Yngwie.

On a more positive note the opening band was Orange Sky from Trinidad. I was impressed by them as it seemed was the crowd. The lead singer/guitarist put it this way: "we aren't out to be the loudest or heaviest, just to make good music". That they did so check them out.

This is just so wrong. This is a family but since they don't meet the "Christian" definition they can't be a family? Welcome to America 2006.

New Air Force dress uniform?

Have to admit it doesn't look to bad. The colour might need to be a little lighter blue as to get away from the stormtrooper look though.

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.

5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:

1. No sale of bread to minors.

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.

3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.

4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

Students Disciplined For Facebook Content

Another example of the government intruding into our lives. What right does the school have to do this? It was away from the school, in the privacy of their own home and yet the school is dictating their lives now. If you think about it this is related to the story I posted below about the teacher getting fired for something she did in her past that wasn't illegal. What's happening to our freedoms?
