Happy Mother's Day

Here's hoping that all the momma's out there have a good one today. I'm working all day so there'll be more blogging come Monday.

Deal With The Devil

I've never had a problem with the Devil but that's just me. Certain Catholics can rejoice; others can wail:

The Coolest House In The Neighborhood

I've heard that it's the ability to know what concessions to make that determines a successful marriage. Admittedly, (full disclosure: I'm not married, have never been so in the past and do not plan to be so at any time in the near future; *Whew*) I would happily make the concessions that are detailed here as long as I got this kick-ass house and some occasional sweet nookie from the wife:

I Loves Me Some Conspiracy Theories

Radio personality Alex Jones breaks down some of the largest conspiracies looming over your precious little head every day:

I have to disagree with his assessment of the bear at the end there. I don't want to go all Colbert on everyone here but I'm convinced that Hallmark is in bed with the diamond industry by pimping Valentine's Day as if it were a hot, thousand dollar a night whore. How exactly does my love for my special lady translate into diamonds again? Jones has had the holiday wool pulled over his eyes and I don't care who knows that I'm saying it.

[Update: I've just been paid an unsettling visit by a couple of extremely well muscled and well armed men employed by the diamond industry. I hereby recant every negative thing I've ever said about that industry and it's subsidiary affiliates. Diamonds are the bomb and not at all superfluous in everyday society. I sprinkle them on my Corn Flakes every morning and you should too. Please tell my family that I love them.]

Happy Mother's Day

No time for blogging today. My current employment in the service industry ensures that I'll be pulling a 12-14 hour double shift today but I have already verified that my own momma got her two dozen roses on Friday because I love her that much. Yes, I am a momma's boy, in the Southern sense of that expression. Regular blogging will recommence tomorrow.

I'm Afraid Suzanna Logan Might Not Like Me

Again. From earlier today:

Because I expect to be super busy lazy today, I’m going to let y’all do the talking for me … via the best google searches that led to my page this week. Plus, you guys are much more entertaining than I’ll ever be...

...Top three searches:

1) "Fox News Megan Kelly legs"

2) "Woman hate me because I’m beautiful"

3) "I love Logan"...


...3) Finally, for “I love Logan,” I have two guesses:..

[Guess which one I don't care about?]

- Last and certainly not least, the "idiot liberal guy":


If the photoshopped picture isn’t bad enough. Trust me, it gets worse.

Ouch Sweetits, very ouch. I responded thusly:

Oh Suzanna, you wound me, girl (your use of the vernacular "ya'll" aside).

I know you quit checking out my site when I mentioned your daily tresspasses but I never suspected such a frontal assault (oh, that sounds hot, doesn't it?).

Is it because I don't have a clever sounding net-handle? Or because I upset your wrinkled "mentor"? Or because I pwned one of his elderly, sycophantic fanboys? It had nothing to do with you Sweetits, they both came after me unprovoked.

And while I do enjoy your little posts, I take it personnally that you have such animosity towards me. Do you not enjoy the attentions of the unfairer sex? You're not really that way, are you? It's cool if you are; I can work with that (I most definitely have in the past).

Take my affections as a compliment darlin, as they're sincerely intended. Don't sully your pretty visage with bitterness. It most certainly does not become you.

And you don't have anything to prove by ignoring my comments as you have in the past. I know that it diminishes your neocon cred with the circles you run in but isn't that what makes being bad fun? Take care, sweets.

Now some might take this rebuke as a subtle hint, but I don't do subtle when I see something I like. It only says one thing to me: this girl's still thinking about yours truly. And it's true, someone in Birmingham was visiting my site daily until I gave her a little shout out in an update. But full disclosure, darlin: it wasn't me Googling you (that sounds hot too, huh?) with "love". It's OK, you're not the first girl to mistake my attentions in that manner. I just hope that your heart is stronger than the others'...

World Builder

OK, so we're going with the Sci-Fi theme today. If you watch one video on this site please make it this one; it's beautiful in a way that only a tech-geek/nerd would appreciate:

A strange man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves.

This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of '405'. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post production. Branit is the owner of Branit VFX based in Kansas City.

This so reminds me of the Star Trek: TNG episode "The Survivors", but in a much more technological rather than omnipotent way. I'm not one to get caught up in romantic story lines but I really liked this one:

Happy Valentine's Day

I'm off the hook this year. Feel free to give your hard earned dollars to flower shops, teddy bear manufactures and diamond companies. Is that stimulus kicking in yet?

Something Someone Else Said

"We love America just as much as they do. But in a different way. You see, they love America the way a four-year-old loves her mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a four-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow." -Al Franken, in Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them on how conservatives and liberals love America differently

Every time I hear a conservative talking shit about a liberal who has committed the unconscionable act of actually truthfully pointing out some of this country's short-comings and ways we could improve them, I'm reminded of this quote and just shake my head. Franken is still locked in an extremely close recount race with Republican incumbent Norm Coleman for a senate seat in the state of Minnesota; it's way to close to call at this time and it looks like the lawyers are going to have the final say sometime after the beginning of the new year but I still have hope that Franken will prevail and inject some much needed levity and common sense into that political body.

10,000 Hits

Thanks to everyone who has read my stuff thus far and here's hoping you stick around for the next 10,000 as well; the visitor from La Jolla, California has 1 hour to collect their prize.

Nature Vs. Nurture: The Lion King

This story and video are from the early seventies (as evidenced by the rocking haircuts you see on the guys) but I'd never heard anything about it until now, so here it is; amazing doesn't quite cover it:

Nerd Love

I'm jealous:

University of Arizona's principle investigator for the Mars Phoenix Lander, Peter Smith, not only studies Mars but also has a special place in his heart and on his wedding ring for the red planet. He and his wife Dana have two-of-a-kind, specially designed Martian rings that include a red stone to symbolize Mars, two diamonds for its moons Phobos and Demos and a piece of Martian meteorite embedded next to them.

You know you've found a special lady when she's cool with putting a piece of another planet in her wedding ring. It's such a shame that I find so few women like this physically attractive.
