    Destiny Cravey Video

    Destiny Cravey singing at WildWest

    I previously mentioned a young singer from Georgia, Destiny Cravey, who is not only a friend of the family, but a fantastic singer. At 14, she definitely has the potential of a great singing career ahead of her.

    So I wanted to add her latest video here. Although not a professionally made video, her talent still comes through.

    Why the 2008 election pisses some of us off.

    Clinton and ObamaBarak. Hillary. Neither one has plans to drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination. The campaigning and fund raising and fund wasting will go on.

    The speeches and accusations and polls and all that it entails have a ways to go yet. Maybe more debates, like we haven’t had enough of these already. More commercials, which I’m sure just thrills all of us. And I’m sure, more “Him and his pastor” talk and “Her and her sniper fire” stories and “His wife hates America” and… Continue reading

    An economic downfall; how the price of gas, and me, will ruin the economy.

    moneyYes, you read that right.

    The American economy is going to fall, spiral, and implode.
    Industries will topple and go under.
    People will lose jobs.
    The stock market will crash.
    It’s inevitable.
    And you can all blame me, and the price of gas.

    My job, and pay, isn’t designed for the price of gas today. At $3.60+ a gallon, it just isn’t in my budget. As much as I try to do my part and reduce my driving, the price continues to rise. I’ve tried, to no avail. Therefore, because I cannot afford to… Continue reading

    This getting older thing sucks

    Old AgeYou’re only as old as you feel.

    I hate that freakin’ saying. I’m 43, and I feel, well, 43, if not older. I don’t feel 40, or 35. 30 is out of the question. 25 is barely a memory. I understand that the phrase is meant more as a mental thing, but shit, get real. Even if I wanted to act young again, my body would just say “Yeah, right, dumbass, what did you smoke for lunch?”

    Most days my back hurts. I’m tired by 9 pm. Lately I wake… Continue reading

    Crap I’ll Never Understand Part II

    Puzzled* Why dogs spend 10 minutes looking for a place to take a 10 second crap.

    * If disposable diapers last 1,000 years in a landfill, why aren’t buildings and cars being made from the same stuff?

    * Why people always say there are two types of people in the world …. and they are never the same as someone else’s two types of people.

    * Why 60 Minutes is never shown next on the west coast.

    * Why Godaddy doesn’t have an 800 number.

    * Why these stupid motherf’ers keep creating PC viruses.

    * Why can’t I… Continue reading

    The Freedom to Vote …. or say “Why Bother”?

    Presidential SealOne of the freedoms of being an American is the right to select your governments members. It is a system, as it was put long ago, “Of the people, by the people, for the people”. It is a right that not all people around the world have, not every nation allows. It is, in essence, the people governing themselves.

    So, why do I, along with many others, get sick of the whole process? Why do we dread election years and all that they entail? Why does it make us want… Continue reading

    The simplicity of dogs

    Sleeping DogFor all of the modern things we enjoy, all of the technology we take part of, the advancement of media and entertainment and knowledge and the ways we enrich ourselves, I sometimes think that we have it all wrong.

    It seems like we have this constant, never-ending drive to go farther, faster, higher, to have more, to do more, to be more, to see and find and experience more, to keep advancing in any direction we can imagine. To slow down is unthinkable, to stop is impossible. Ever onward… Continue reading

    Wordpress encoded footers

    Sample of html codeI was looking to make some minor modifications on my site theme today, namely in the footer. Basically all I wanted to do was add a copyright notice, and a small statement that it was a modified theme of an original, which I was willing to keep a credit for in the footer.

    I really hadn’t looked into it too much before, but when I checked out my footer.php file, I came across a base64 encoded string. Basically, someone decided to encode the footer information so… Continue reading

    Les Paul ….. still rolling

    Les PaulThis morning I heard something about today being Les Paul’s birthday. For those that aren’t familiar with the name, Les is a musical legend, both as a guitarist and an innovator of the solidbody electric guitar. Although everything I could find says that his birthday is actually June 9, 1915 ( yeah, he’s in his 90’s and still kicking ass ), it was a nice reminder of what a living legend really is.

    Les was a wizard with a guitar; watch videos of him playing, if you haven’t seen him, and… Continue reading
