Wailers! Great!

The Wailers Were Great! It was a good concert and everyone had a fantastic time!

I knew every song except the first two, and My Wife was wearing a T-Shirt with name of the second on it.
I give it a 9.9 out of 10, and if they had actual trumpets and saxophones instead if keyboard driven trumpets and saxophones, it would have been a perfect 10.
Here’s a video I took, the sound quality is pretty good!

We wanted to have a nice dinner before we went, but it seems like every restaurant downtown is closed, and we had to eat at Subway. Not what I had in mind..
We got home about 1 AM which is not too bad and overall it was a fantastic evening!

Boy, is my face red

Yesterday I whined about my computer giving problems, someone commented that maybe the date was way off, causing the certificates to seem invalid. “Sure!” I snortled laughingly. But lo and behold, I looked and it was exactly one month off. I must now repeat the somber ancient magic chant with increasing speed.
OOOWAAA TAAA GOOO SIIIAAM
OHWAAAA TAGOOOO SIAM
OH WAAAAT AGOOO SIAM
OH WHAT A GOOSE I AM!

There, now my soul has been cleansed

My computer still won’t search for images using Google, I had to use Yahoo to find the image below:
Tonight THE WIFE and I and several other friends are going to see The Wailers. Sure do wish Bob Marley was still around. I’ll be wearing my Bob Marley T-Shirt anyway. I will probably be the only one wearing a Bob Marley T-Shirt.

Last night I was riding my bicycle home from a meeting and I encountered a body laying in a pool of blood on the road. He was laying all twisted up with a bicycle and my first thought was that he was hit by a car. But I couldn’t see any squished parts.

He was just beyond the crest of the hill, and the first car that came by would definitely hit him, because by the time a driver would be able to see him, it would already be too late to stop. I turned my bicycle around at the top of the hill so my little flashlight headlight was shining down the road, and I called 911 for an ambulance. I was still on the phone when the first car came speeding up, and I started wiggling my handlebars to shine the light so they would see us. I didn’t think they were gonna stop, and they definitely woulda run over my passed out dude had I not been there.

Finally after about 5 minutes and several cars later (none of which stopped to see if they could help), the guy started moving and trying to get up. His face was really messed up and there was a lot of blood.

About that time the police arrived, they came speeding up the road and I thought they were gonna hit us too.

The cops seemed to know the guy, and I left before the ambulance got there. Maybe I’ll see that guy around.

I am glad I was on my bicycle and not my car, because I would have been the one to run him over. You’d have a whole different post from me today if I had run a guy over in the car last night…

What’s up with Google?

I’ve been noticing problems with Google for several days now, possibly a week already.

I do a search on Google Images, (Like for the telephone yesterday) and I get an error message.

“Your search – telelphone – could not be completed with the requested search options. Reset search tools

The Reset search tools is a link that takes you to a page with no options, you can’t reset anything from there.

Yesterday, another problem started, when I try to go to almost any page from Google, I get this message:And, if I go to an encrypted page, like to read comments on my blog, I get this:

Is anybody having these troubles? I start from Yahoo! and everything works fine. (Except Blogger, which is Google-owned)
Right now I’m on my Linux machine, The Windows one seems too screwed up.

What Grinds My Gears

Yesterday, I called a “work associate” and he said he was in a meeting, could he call back in about half an hour? Sure, I said, knowing he wouldn’t. He didn’t, he always says he’s in a meeting, he always says he’ll call back, and he never does.
Him and many many other people, it seems like.
He called me earlier in the day yesterday, I was in the sun, sweating, holding up a satellite dish with one hand, while standing in a thorny bush, receiving multiple stab wounds, and I was able to answer his question then and there. If I can’t take the call, I don’t answer the phone.
If I say I’m going to do something, I do my best to do it. If someone tells me they’re going to do something, I can bet that it probably won’t get done.

I woke up in a bad mood over this, I find it very irritating. It really
GRINDS MY GEARS!

The Final Day of the Abridged Song Challenge

The topic is “A song from your Childhood”. When I first heard this song, I decided that Rock N Roll was the music I like, and that I was going to like Rock N Roll forever. This is my first favorite song, Joe Walsh, Rocky Mountain Way. This song has always been very important to me, and is my favorite post on this Abridged version of the Facebook 30 Day Song Challenge.

Video from HERE.

I’m glad this Song Challenge is over, I decided a long time ago not to do “Tags” or “Memes” or any of that crap that people pass around. I saw this song thing and thought it would be a pretty good idea, but I don’t think it turned out to be. I don’t think this is a representation of my favorite songs. I don’t think it is a representation of the songs that I think are the best in the world. I don’t think it’s a representation of the songs that move me. The songs I picked are the ones that answered the question for that day, and that’s about all. Glad I didn’t do all 30 days!

day 25 – a song that makes you laugh.

Weird Al Yankovic – Bedrock Anthem, it cracks me up every time! Where the hell is Wilma? Have ya seen her? she’s got a baby elephant vacuum cleaner!
This video is a sploof on the Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘Give it Away’. Watch their original video HERE

Tomorrow is the last day of my “Abridged 30 Day Song Challenge.
I guess that’s why they call it a challenge, because it’s not easy to complete. Glad I did an abridged version!
