November

While V is about aliens that come to Earth and establish contact, I am pretty sure they would pass us by (unless they needed our flesh as fuel or something). See, I imagine that when they do seek us out, the video below is just the kind of thing they are going to find. They will see the things that amuse and amaze us and classify us as morons.

I certainly hope any extraterrestrials won’t be able to access our internet and see just what all we’ve used it for.

And I am fairly certain you just watched that video all the way to the end, didn’t you?

There was only one guy missing from that show. THIS I would go see! (via twitter.com/BagOfNothing)

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It’s time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I’d choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up.

Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit — that’s what rednecks are made of.

Ya’ll know who ya ‘ll are.

You might be a redneck if:

It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, ‘One nation, under God.’

You’ve never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You still say ‘ Christmas’ instead of ‘Winter Festival.’

You bow your head when someone prays.

You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have.

You’ve never burned an American flag, nor intend to.

You know what you believe and you aren’t afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You respect your elders and raised your kids to do the same.

You’d give your last dollar to a friend.

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’ He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so…

‘Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don’t.’ Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Last night I was having a conversation via Twitter with my friend @twspreach about the new electronic readers such as the Kindle 2, Kindle DX, Sony’s Reader. I have read articles about people catching the attention of big companies on Twitter and getting help solving problems. Usually this begins with a use going on a tirade about a product or poor customer service, etc.

However, it appears you don’t have to be bashing someone to catch their attention. This morning I discovered the following Tweet:

Companies are using social networking to monitor their brands, reach out to customers, and do damage control where necessary. Now I am trying to find something worthy of complaining about to see if I can get a resolution! Big Brother is watching…
