Matthew McConaughey for Dolce & Gabbana

Does it make you want to buy the cologne? I probably did already, but now, I really want to buy ___________.

I Want This Sink!

I really love this sink, and if placed at the right level, you could use it as a ...

Seriously though, we have an old 50's house and the bathroom is tiny, so we need something that's going to give us more space without losing functionality. Since there's already a freestanding sink there now, it should be an easy swap, and this one isn't going to take up as much space. I don't see a full remodel in the coming months, so this just might be in the cards. Here's how you buy it, for your benefit of course. It's from Lacava. 

Website Visitors

I'm still messing around with the metrics I keep, which counter to use. I go between Google Analytics and My Stat Counter. What I can say though, is that I've had anywhere between 50-120 visitors each day, and even had a few from India, Singapore, South Africa, and the beautiful country of Alaska. (yes, I know)

I love posting stuff, I love reading stuff, and I love to laugh, think, and like my description says, laugh some more. Clearly, others do too!

Thanks for visiting y'all, more good stuff coming. 

Btw, what's up with that pic, it looks like I have a nice, silky set of hair elegantly swept to the right. If only...

"Homeless" - To Give or Not to Give?

I like this picture, because I'm so not technical and also, because it leads to my topic.  When you get asked for change, do you give? I've heard things from friends that range from "Get a job!" to "I don't want to encourage the wrong behavior" to "Yes, I'll take some change" when asked. My view is somewhere in the middle of everything. My overall philosophy is this: if a person is having to ask strangers for money, for whatever reason, I truly believe that their plight is bigger than my need to question their motives. People in donut shops have tip jars, people in coffee shops do too, in restaurants I leave a generous tip for them just bringing my plate and asking me how my food was, and mostly people lie anyway right? So I give, yes I do. Maybe they're having drug or alcohol issues, maybe they have a mental illness, maybe it's difficult to get a job when you don't have an address, a steady place to shower, clothes, etc. I would encourage everyone to think about what we as a community have done to help them.  That, my friends, is a whole seperate subject. Give a dime, a quarter, whatever and if you get asked 10 more times, know that you helped a little bit. Or better yet, leave all of your change and cash at home or at the office when you go to lunch and then you don't have to lie and can answer honestly with "I don't have any, sorry."  

If there's an animal involved, I'll continue to give until I don't have anymore - I'm such a dummy like that!  

To anyone healing from a break-up

Trying to move on too soon.  Watch this and feel the music as A Fine Frenzy sings "Near to You".  

Goodbye my friend...

With sadness it ends, this chapter is over.

Silly sorrow runs amok.

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Gratitude

 

My good friend Kimberly in Florida had to say goodbye to a second cat in a period of 4 weeks, so this movie is a nod to her and the love she gives to those around her, including her beloved animals. Kimberly, I tip my hat to you and I hope you enjoy this movie I made about those aspects of love in my world - you inspired it.

Poor me huh?  ha!
