A Christmas Present To Those Disturbed Enough To Read This Blog

I rarely share anything personal, but here is something I'm extremely proud of: Me and my family (all of whom distance themselves from The Blog and would be much happier if I'd stop this silliness.) That's my mom and dad on the left. In the middle is my brother and his wife and two kids. That's me, the good looking guy, on the right. (This is from last Mother's Day. As far as we could remember, this was the first photo of all of us at the same time. I just love it.)

Time Waste

Of the list of 25 Addictive Flash Games I posted yesterday, one I tried that I find absolutely fascinating is Sand. Give it time to load. Then start by choosing "Wax" and drawing a line. From there, choose "water". It makes absolutely no sense at first, but from there you'll figure out that it is absolutely spellbinding. (Throw in some mood music, and it's Christmas time.)

YouTube.Com Reflections

From time to time, I'll upload a clip on youtube and post it here. One thing I'm still scratching my head about is one I posted, on a whim, about a golf shot by Fuzzy Zoeller in June of this year. I checked on it a second ago and learned that it has been viewed 848,409 times. That, my friends, (as the screen shot above shows) is the #28 Most Viewed Sports clip on YouTube.com in the history of ever. But my uploading of this girl is still my favorite.

I Often Regret Not Having Kids

You know, that might be edited with sound effects but, still, it's happening somewhere in America tonight.

So Wrong

Santa Jesus?

This made me think of my former post about the confusing combination of Jesus and Santa. And I was very shocked to learn that a former commenter on this blog is in favor of the practice.

$53,400,000.00

And that's just a guy's Christmas bonus. The progressive income tax system sounds really good right now.

Boyd Football Gets A Shout Out In The "Morning News"

Story Edit: This is confusing. I saw the AP All State team in the Morning News at lunch today and then did a quick search on the newspaper's web site so I could post it. I'll admit, I saw the date and then didn't look at the story. My bad. What's odd is that two kids from Boyd did make the All State team this year. I'll track down their names.

This World Is A Confusing Place

The Update . . .

. . . isn't working online. And the world has stopped turning for a moment.

An Absolute Disqualification for Any Wise County EMT

Story. Random note from Wikipedia: Clinical depression affects about 16% of the population. I have a team of scientists working on a possible correlation.

Biggest Time Waste In The History Of Ever

25 Really Addictive Flash Games

YouTube.Com Joys

- Sarah Silverman on Leno a couple of years ago discussing her "Brazilian wax" (I think I love her.) - And if Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees had a talk show (from Saturday Night Live - last weekend, I think. The first minute "opening" was gold.)

You're A Bad Man

Donald Trump, who runs the Miss USA pagent, completely used the current title holder, Tara Conner, over the last two weeks. Rumors first began to flow that the 20 year old girl had been hanging out in bars in Manhattan, and then the speculation grew (by Trump) that she might have to relinquish her crown. Trump drug it out for days before finally holding a nationally televised press conference today giving her a second chance - but humiliating her for the sake of publicity in the process.

Somber

I'm at a driver's license hearing office in Fort Worth (it handles suspensions due to DWI arrests) as I type this out. It's weird today because most of the officers in attendance have black bands over their badges in honor of the Fort Worth officer that was killed over the weekend. Somber place.

Edit: Sheesh, I'm away from the comments for the afternoon only to return to find that Christmas Cheer has broken out all over the place.

Scandal?

Rest in the Update here. I guess this is a, "see you later, we'll be in the gym" situation. Of course, the teacher of the "student leadership" class would probably be in a bit of trouble.
