I don’t know why he would say some of the highly controversial things he says in this ad but Rick Perry let’s it all out in this video:
Live Free or Die. Death is Not the Worst of Evils.
I like the way Bill Whittle puts many things and really like the way he puts things in this video. I warn you though, there is a very frightening and horrendous clip played from about 0:55 to 1:10 in this video:

Fade Away
I am a fan of the collected works of one Ian Thornley and have mentioned such several times. I was excited for a few minutes when I found out about this contest:
Ian Thornley discusses the LCBO’s Whisky Rocks Competition from LCBO on Vimeo.
The excitement was short lived because I went and read the small print that says you must be a resident of Ontario, you know, in Canada. So instead of doing a full cover version and a video I did a crappy lil one-take recording in the basement after figuring out the song by ear.
Couple of rough spots, but really why put much effort into it when it would be a waste of time?
Operation Smile
A few years back the band I was in played a show that benefited Operation Smile. This was the first occasion that I had heard of this organization that helps mostly kids with cleft lips and/or palates and other facial deformities. After that show, even though I was a dirt poor college student I gave money to the organization cause it seemed to be a very nice cause.
Well, today I came across this video that shows one of the kids who is helped by such events and donations:
I just thought it was really great to see her seeing her face. Go ahead and make a donation if you like.
R.I.P. Electron Boy
The young boy that I put in the end of this list named Erik Martin passed away. He made it quite a long way for someone with so many obstacles and you have to admire that.
You Gotta See This Rescue
A motorcyclist was trapped under a burning car in Logan Utah when a group of people banded together despite the heat and danger of explosion to lift the car and pull the man out.
Don’t hesitate to help someone in danger whether physical, emotional or spiritual just go for it.
Biggest Disappointment Ever
The title may be a bit overly dramatic but we should all be at least a little disappointed. Some time ago I saw that Nike had filed for a patent on something that got me very excited. I saw an announcement the other day that I thought would be the realization of years of hopes. Sadly this was not the case and I must voice my disappointment.
The patent was for the “Back to the Future 2” self-lacing shoes.
The thought of owning my own pair makes me insane with excitement. So last week when Nike had an announcement on the way I thought the waiting was over. The announcement was that Nike would be auctioning off 1,500 pairs of these shoes but they don’t actually lace themselves when put on. So not only would they be bought up by people with a ton of money to blow on them but they don’t even do the coolest thing that they should do. Not only are they going for more than $3,000 a piece and don’t do what they should, but they look stupid.
When it comes to those I have to say, “Keep it. I got a PitBull Now!”
