Hesed House

Not the coolest rap video I've ever made, but here is my rap/poem version recollecting my experience at Hesed House.

Children See, Children Do

A friend of mine was telling me the other day that her 1 1/2 year old son now says "shit" when he drops a toy on the ground. I wonder where he picked that up at...

Many people understand that their children imitate and learn from the ones that they are around. It may be their friends, kids at school, parents, or other adults in their lives.

I meant to share this commercial that was made in Australia a while ago, but due to the battery problem I wasn't able to post it.

Very inspiring.



What kind of messages are you unconsciously sending to the people around you?

AA, AAA, or Double D?

Guess who finally broke down and bought that computer battery? Oh yah.. that would be me. Originally looking at the dell website I thought it would be over $150, but luckily amazon never steers me in the wrong direction and I found a real steal for about $48.

So I suppose I could entertain you with a humorous story... or I could go work on my group paper that is due... To be responsible or not, that is the question.

Ok, Ok... I better go be "responsible". Whatever that means. Don't get used to it!

alive and kickin'

No I have not died; however, my computer has. For months it has been sending me a message saying "your battery is not charging normally, please order a new one". I thought it was a plot to get me to spend money at the dell website. - apparently I was wrong.

Needless to say, I need to order a new battery when I find 3 seconds of free time and then... I'll be back.

Happy October!'

With the start of October comes the changing of leaves and brisk fall days. Perfect for pulling on a hoody and snuggling up in a blanket to watch a good movie. Of course that is not all this means. Oh No No No.

It's the start of some Halloween havoc - hay rack rides, bonfires, pumpkin carving, costume wearing, and of course we cannot forget haunted houses.

Which is exactly why last night I decided to ring the new month in by venturing to Ravin's Grin . It is really more of a haunted tour then the typical jump out from behind the wall and startle you type; however, it still managed to make me just about pee my pants (oops!).

Note to self: do not joke about having a pace maker before the tour, because they WILL purposefully try to scare you and any guy who owns a hearse and drives it around for his daily car has got to be a little wack.

Thought for the day: "I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween."



deep thoughts by emily

Why are some ladders called "step ladders"? Isn't the idea of all ladders to step up?

Read the small print

The BIGGEST Lie Ever:

"I have read and agree to the terms of use"

Coon Soup Anyone?

I wish I could say that this was the raccoon that I smoked with Ol' Betsy on the way home last weekend. Unfortunately the one I managed to smash into going 60mph was probably three times as big and twice as wide. Also, twice as flat once I was done with it.

Although Ol' Betsy definitely took a beating, I'd still say she came out ahead. I mean after all, at least Ol' Bets can still run. This coon can't even walk. I would put a picture of the lovely damages I incurd; however, it is far to cold out and I am way to tired to walk down 3 flights of stairs just for your entertainment.

Following the incident I received some interesting condolences including "at least everybody is okay" (although animal activist may argue that one), "glad it wasn't somebodies dog" (although on the farm this could have easily been somebodies dear beloved pet), and my personal favorite "at least it wasn't a skunk" - Touche my friend, Touche.

"Life Is Lucky"

Very moving story. Please watch.

Slippery little suckers

I stumbled across this interesting little chair in one of the stalls of the ladies bathroom at Walmart the other day.

At first I pulled my pants down and thought it was pretty cool to have a seat belt to add stability while doing your business.

Then I realized there was nowhere for "your business" to go? Which is when I noticed the small sign indicating to strap your child down so they can't weasel under the wall and into somebody elses stall.


Interesting concept. Do parents really use these?

- Walmart really does have everything.
