Wow. Just Wow.

No Words... Just Go Safe for Work.
It has come to my attention that numerous co-workers of mine have discussed buying some of these to see what they do. Seriously? hundreds of dollars for a bunny that lights up and reads you your email?
I will now be taking bids on dressing up in this years halloween costume (I was a bunny, the mrs was a carrot...true story) and reading people their emails... bidding starts and $100 bucks!

I Signed Up for "PPP"...which isn't as dirty as it sounds.

PayPerPost.com is a nifty little site that will pay me to post my thoughts on different things. I know what you are thinking. NO ALEX! But rest assured, I will try to keep it on target as not to lose my audience; but if you notice that my posts are weirdly cohesive and actually about something substantial, you will know something's up. The gist of it is that I signed up on their site and once my blog is approved, I choose from lists of opportunities to write my thoughts and reviews on these topics. Sounds simple enough. I will keep you up to date on how this works. It is an interesting venture to say the least. I am not in this game to necessarily make money hand over fist; however, I am always intrigued by the possibility of subsidizing other opportunities. Currently, those opportunities include: saving for a Disney trip, saving for a new electric guitar, a new acoustic guitar, a new mic to record with, a couple guitar pedals, and paying off a few debts in the process. I can dream at least. So, I hope this service is “as advertised.” I would love to write back in three months raving about the results. In the mean time, enjoy. payperpost

Just When I Thought America Couldn't Get Any Dumber...

They go and TOTALLY REDEEM themselves! FREE TACO DAY!! (post script) did anyone actually take care of this? Global warming took a hit the next 24 hours with all that extra methane. I heard on NPR (so it's gotta be true) that methane is something like 19x worse for the environment than CO2. True Story. So shouldn't there be a crack down (oooh, pun intended!!) on burritos? chew on that for a while...(puns are tasty)

Feedburner, Stalkers, and More

I've been learning about humility left and right. I get it. I'm not the bees knees. actually, I kind of wrote a song about it. (RK, the hits keep coming..)

You're not laughing at me, but I'm finding out I'm not even close And you've helped me to see I'm finding out I've been off for a long, long time.

that' kind of the chorus. I like it. It's kind of pop, kind of angst folk rock. It's got potential.

It's been one of those days that makes you want to stay in bed and watch scrubs reruns...for hours upon hours. Wet, cold, achy. anyway. just thought I'd share. oh by the way, it's been really fun to see who comes to my site. Apparently I have fans in a couple different cities around the US like in Maryland and South Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and California. Feedburner is multi-faceted website that ads stuff to blogger like what I call "reverse stalker"(both owned by the mighty Google). It tracks who comes to my site (city only), don't worry I won't be able to find you. Sunday is my first week back playing in the "just one part of the greater thing we call worship" team. That's what I call it at least. I could go on a rant, but brother JP did an excellent job for me when he pointed out that "there are no less than 12 different aspects of worship during our service this week, one of them being music". Too funny. too true. that's all I've got for now. <><
