New Ride
I like my new rides better. One is my special occasion car and the other is my everyday car!
Transportation of the Future
I've found the very latest in future transportation. It gets great gas mileage and it's considered a very low emissions vehicle. I believe by 2025, everyone will be driving one. Of course, we'll have to look out for those drunkards, who might mow right over us!

Favorite Song
Jon, this is one I don't have to think about. My favorite song of all time is Everything by Lifehouse. I could listen to this song all day every day and it would never get old. I love every word of the lyrics and even have them posted on my wall at work. If you've never heard it, check it out and make sure to read the lyrics. Amazing!

Most Favoritest Song of All Time
Word up to my peeps. I just recently joined another social networking site (I don't know if I could handle anymore) called Blip.fm. Basically, it allows you to search for songs and post them with a comment so other people can see. This made me start thinking. What is your favorite song of all time? Post your comments. My favorite song will come, but I'll have to think about it for a while.

Stephen Colbert
Daniel, I figured you'd get a kick out of this article!
The Associated Press, March 24, 2009

WASHINGTON (AP) -- NASA's online contest to name a new room at the international space station went awry. Comedian Stephen Colbert won.
The name "Colbert" beat out NASA's four suggested options in the space agency's effort to have the public help name the addition. The new room will be launched later this year.
NASA's mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report," to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday.
NASA reserves the right to choose an appropriate name. Agency spokesman John Yembrick said NASA will decide in April, but will give top vote-getters "the most consideration."

Funny Pics
I saw these online and thought they were hilarious. I just wanted to share them with you!!!
Recurring Dream
I feel the need to share a specific dream with you guys in hopes of someday figuring out it's meaning. Any insight you may have is greatly appreciated. Let me start this off by saying that I started having this dream around age 7 and had it every week until I was around 12. This dream still haunts me. I can't get it out of my head. So here it is.....
It was a bright sunny day on Wilkinson Lane. The wind was blowing softly, the birds singing gently, the Mayhew boys yelling just a few yards over. I was walking down the sidwalk towards the driveway when I happened to spot a large anthill. I bent down to examine the hill and the many ants coming out of it in one straight, perfect line. But then I noticed that they were headed straight for me! In a moment of panic I backed away, but suddenly, I was being shrunk by the army of little evil creatures and taken into their lair. When I awoke from my horrific experience, I found that I was chained by my arms up on the wall. There were so many ants I couldn't see the floor of the ant hole. I was scared until I realized that I was wearing a princess dress, tutu, and crown. Then I just thought, wow, this is strange. Where do ants get princess dresses? At that time, I notice a commotion towards the back of the room. All the ants are turning to look, and finally I see what the big fuss is about. The ants are crowd surfing a push mower up towards the front of the room. It's heading right for me! The last thing I remember before I woke up is the excruciating pain/strange relief as the ants mowed my feet.
And that's always where I woke up. I haven't had this dream for years and still its stuck in my head. Strange.

NEW BUTTONS!!!
Hello everyone. We now have some cool new buttons for you to press. First off, in the upper right hand corner there are Stumble it and Digg buttons.
Stumble upon is a Mozilla Firefox add on that sends users to random websites. If enough people press this button enough, we will be added to their list of sites that they send people to.
Digg is a website that compiles top stories or sites based on what their users decide are top stories and sites. If a new story comes out and suddenly several people start "digging it," it will be added to their website for countless readers to see.
Hopefully we will be able to start adding buttons to each post for you to "Digg" as well.

Imperative Law
It is an actual law that whoever lives in Kentucky has to have at least one bath per year; good thing that I do not live in Kentucky.

The Right Thing
It seems that sometimes life can sometimes be filled with contradictions. Example: Earlier today I did what can only be described as "the right thing". Most times in doing "the right thing" you would feel good about what you have done. You would feel proud or at the least content in the fact of knowing that what you did was in the end "the right thing". But, I felt none of these things. I felt terrible.
I can't tell you what I had to do today. Although, I can assure you that it hurt several people and very well may have cost me a good friend. So how can this be "the right thing"? This seems like a contradiction.
Aristotle’s law of non-contradiction states that “One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect and at the same time.” So how is this possible? Why do I feel bad for doing the right thing? I believe that while this situation seems to be contradictory, it is actually not at all.
All of the things that we do in life have consequences. They may be good or bad, big or small. But, there are always consequences. Usually when you do a good thing there are good consequences. The same goes for bad things. You do a bad thing most times there are bad consequences. Every so often though these things can get reversed. This is is what happened to me. I did what was the right thing and people got hurt. That is what I felt so horrible about. Not the fact that did the right thing but, the consequences that this thing had on the people that I care for. I take solace in doing the right thing. At the same time I grieve over the pain that I have caused. So there is no contradiction here. Only mixed emotions.
In conclusion, I give this advice. Always do what you feel is right. Don't be afraid to ask advice from some one older and wiser than yourself. And pray. Pray that you always do god's will. It may be hard at the time. But, look into the future. You will see that if you do what is right, at some point there will be good consequences.

Tutoring
My job is a Chemistry tutor. That means I come into a room, sit down, and wait for someone to come in that needs help. Not a bad job. However, today everyone in the world decides that they're too smart for a tutor. Therefore I've been sitting in this small room for about two hours now staring at the wall and twittling my thumbs. Too make things worse the geniuses at maitenance decide that it is necessary to turn the heat up in the building full blast when it is 70 degrees outside, and this is one of those old buildings that have individual heating units in each room. It isn't too bad inside a big classroom, but the tutoring center room is about the size of a large grapefruit, which means it's around 2458 degrees in here, give or take 7. All this makes for an uncomfortable Daniel. Usually I would do homework, but I have none that I am able to do in here.
Finally I decide to use one of the incredibly slow computers in here to pass the time. I'm not sure what I intend to accomplish with this blog.....other than keep myself entertained. I guess I'll just write what comes into my head.
Pickled goat feet.
Whoa. Didn't see that coming. I still have about half an hour to sit in here. Still, not a single person comes into the room, save Colin, the other tutor working this hour. Normally I would talk to Colin to pass the time, but today he has some kind of report or something to do. So while he's working on that I sit in my chair, staring at the wall, twittling my thumbs, writing a blog.
Wait! Someone just came in! But they don't need help they're just studying. Darn. Well I think I've rambled for about as long as I can. Guess I'll stop writing and go back to my thumbs. *twittle, twittle*

Shopping With Your Wife
There are many things I enjoy doing, none of them involve shopping with my wonderful and lovely wife. I do like spending time with her though and when we stay at home we tend to both sit on the couch with our laptops and commit ourselves to unplanned amounts of time on the internet, just like we are doing as I write this post.
As I was wandering through the wilderness of DSW Warehouse earlier today many thoughts came to my mind. First, there were the immediate thoughts such as, "Oh my gosh, is the market for women's shoes really this big?" and, "Man, my feet are killing me." Then as I sat down on one of the little stools that they have for you to try on shoes I thought, "They should call these 'Husband Chairs'." As my thought process eased away from the horrid reality I was facing in that shoe store (as it so often seems to do, no matter what I'm doing), I started to wonder if maybe there was some type of market that I might be able to cater to for all of my fellow husband/purse holder/slave people. I do have a few ideas and I would love to hear some of yours whether you are a woman or a man.
First, how about a nice waiting room. Women get sofas in the bathroom, why can't we get some in ours. That would be the first place I'd head to so I could pull out my blackberry, see what all my friends that I don't know all around the world are doing on Twitter and find out if Vanderbilt was winning or not (no Vandy jokes, this is about shopping with your wife). Maybe if the store was really keen on helping our poor souls they could have a T.V. with cable. We'd only need ESPN. I know that there are some guys who don't like sports and I admit I don't watch it all the time, but I can't really imagine sitting on a sofa in the men's bathroom with other men watching anything other than a sporting channel. Maybe a hunting channel or something.
So you might be thinking, "yeah right, like a retail store is going to do this for us in a down economy." I say, if they aren't thinking of making us more comfortable they are losing customers. After a while I admit, I start whining like a baby ready to go home and tend to my poor feet and feed my ever growing mid region. If DSW warehouse had the aforementioned ammeneties for the brothers in the house I wouldn't mind staying all day. I know that if my wife didn't have me nagging her while she was trying to decide which pair of $50 shoes she was going to buy, she might have time to talk herself into getting all three. Now that is a sound business plan.

The most useless, useful blog ever
Ok. Here it is. A novel idea. A blog for stuff that really matters ("stuff" to be determined at a later date) by really important people ("important people" to also be decided at a later date).
Over time this should prove to be one of the most important sites you could ever visit within any given time. You can take comfort in the fact that the information given is coming from only the best sources with the best information possible. Translation: You WILL like this site. As you travel down this road with some of the best minds around do not ask yourself how, but be glad that you are now privy to this information.
I hope you enjoy and rest assured that there is more to come.
