25 Random things

Posted in Everything | No Comments »

Facebook has a little thing going around which involves writing down 25 random things that your friends may not know about you.   Yoko Ono wrote one up and one of her supposed friends made it public I guess.  The list is a bit eccentric although I do confess to agreeing with her about 23 & 24.

An argument for not getting your car windows tinted

Some poor guy in Florida has his car ticketed 7 times before anyone notices that he is dead but my question is; Why the heck was the guy in the backseat?  Sounds weird  to me.

Awesome find of the Day

I found a picture of the tombstone that Roland Burris had made for himself.  He seems to have put his entire resume on his tombstone.  You have to see it to believe it.

Don’t laugh at his schedule.  I have traveled with him before and he can do this;  it is a matter of whether we kill each other before it is all over.  By the way  I have been informed that I am doing alot of the actual filming while Jared is on camera.  I will be wearing the headphones listening to the audio and video……the whole thing.  Hence the killing each other comment.

Airline Blogs

I am starting to realize that there is a website for everything and I mean everything.  I came across this website that actually links you to other sites, blogs, and forums strictly about airlines.  I got really caught up and was both entertained and scared since everytime I get on a plane I think I am going to become a human missle.  Here is an amusing tidbit.  I will leave it to you to fish around for more stories if you want to.

I ran across this article on AOL.  It links the dramatic rise in cases of  Herpes to the drinking game beer pong.  The article is interesting but it is the pictures of drunken people being put in stupid positions that is the best part of this webpage.

This song always reminds me of “Kill Bill”.  A song only Quentin Tarantino would obsess over.
