drumming with Thomas Lang..

This is an amazing clip - albeit a rather blurry one - from YouTube of a drum clinic Thomas Lang appears in. Its amazing... it really gets interesting around 3:30 into the clip...

Tuition paid in ONE DOLLAR bills...

This guy is crafty. He paid his entire tuition for a semester of school in ONE DOLLAR BILLS! The report says the bag he used weighed about 30 pounds when it was finally full of ones. Apparently, he's trying to make a point about the ridiculous cost of the ever-rising student tuition. He's doing a good job... everyone should see this.

Holyfield still fighting?

I heard a local radio spot today advertising some big entertainment night in Orlando. Apparently, Evander Holyfield will be fighting. This is amazing... it seems like a decade ago when he got his ear bit off by Mike Tyson, and even back then Holyfield was an old draw.

3rd grader "hit it hard a lot"

Speaking after getting caught smoking pot in his elementary school's bathroom, the 3rd grader says this when asked how many times he's smoked pot, "hit it hard a lot". So, he hits it hard a lot... someone's parents are going to have to answer some questions I'm afraid. And those parents are definitely not hitting the kid enough... the generation of parents today were the last one to be spanked I think. Therein lies the problem...

biggest yacht in the world...

The biggest yacht in the world is in the works now - while the rest of the world is in a depression. So, apparently this giant yacht, the world's most expensive and large, is being designed and will soon become a reality... only for $1 billion.

Good Lord, what has this world come to? It will be home to 16 people and 70 servants... or 70 wait staff... whichever politically correct term you'd like to use.

Surfing 5 Miles...

Surfing in Alaska is cold. It wouldn't be quite as cold if one could ride a stand up paddle board like the guys in this article... Looks amazing. I'd love to do this at some point in the future - maybe in a warmer climate though. However, if it had to be in Alaska, I'd do it.

We Can Be Better

There was a speech last night apparently. Our leader told us all we need to play it cool, to chill out and 'be better'. We can be better, but only if we have jobs and ways to manufacture things, etc... its tough for some Americans right now. There's talk on the radio about a depression in the housing market. Uh, yeah, that's been going on for a while now. If you're in Florida, you'd have guessed the real estate market has been in the crapper for about 2 years now. But 'they' also say we're "coming out of it". Sure.

Anyway, here's a link to the speech from last night. I don't really put myself on either side of the political fence... I like to sit in the middle and watch the people argue back and forth.
