Best Music Player EVAR!!!

There are those out there who swear by Pandora or whatever online radio music playing thing you like.  The downfall of these is you have a limited number of skips and hours of listening time. As of the writing of this, you only get 40 hours of free music play from Pandora A MONTH!!! This stinks a lot in my opinion.  Their music selection is pretty awesome and it's really good at figuring out what you like in my opinion.

That being said, I give you Slacker.com. It's an awesome music radio station playing site.  The number of skips is still limited on a free account, but you can listen to it as long and as much as you want. (Your skip count also gets reset when you switch channels which I like.) The music selection is still pretty awesome and it's very good at figuring out what stuff you like based on your favorites and bans.

So there you go...Slacker...Use it. Love it. Appreciate it!

Awesome Song of the Day! #1/Friday Flash Back

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars... It's awesome! You can Lindy Hop to it or East Coast Swing if you're really feelin' it.  Also...the video is HILARIOUS!!! As a huge fan of ABDC (America's Best Dance Crew) I immediately recognized Poreotics dancing with Bruno Mars in this video. It's hilarious and awesome and you should check it out!

Random Rant #1

International trade is good. From a consumer's stand point you can buy more with your money.  From a seller's stand point you can sell more for higher profits.  Economically it makes sense!

I'm so tired of hearing people rant and rave about all of our foreign cars, clothes, and everything else. You can buy a shirt made outside of the USA for $20. You can buy the same shirt made IN the USA for $50.  Which are you really going to pick? Stop bitching! You can't ride both sides of the fence.  If you want to support made in the USA, awesome, great! Go for it! Be willing to pay the high prices!  If like me, you can't afford to pay ridiculous prices for everything support international trade.  It works.  It's good. It makes sense.

Friday Flashback #2

As promised, here is this week's Friday Flashback!  I've been dying to watch this video again! It always makes me giggle.  I was never really a huge Monty Python fan, although I wish I was, and this skit is just too funny!  Hope you guys find it silly, funny, and awesome too!

(LATE) Friday Flashback

I've been a horrible blogger as of late! I've been putting most of my efforts into my other blog, Doggy Hell and Back, and this blog has been neglected as a result.  I had originally wanted this to be a somewhat humorous blog with ramblings that other would hopefully find interesting and humorous.  I obviously haven't done jack!! So while day dreaming, I came up with the idea of maybe at the VERY LEAST doing a Friday Flashback.  Something that was funny in the past, that is kind of old, but still funny now.  So here's this past week's Friday Flashback that is kind of late and on Sunday...but still.  It's old but still cute and funny, so enjoy! =)

I saw this on a talk show as I was walking through the living room, and it is still adorable, cute, and funny!

Valentine's Day Rave

So, it's been nearly a month since I have updated this blog...oops!  If you want more regular updates, I strongly suggest you look into my other blog, To Hell and Back...A Dog Story. It is documenting and telling the story of me rehabilitating my German Shepherd Dog Addie.  It (should) also has some tips, tricks, recipes, reviews, and helpful tidbits through out the blog.  So yea, if you want regular updates go there.  Otherwise feel free to stay here and catch all the "other" stuff.

So anyway...taking a leaf out of America's blog book (even if she hasn't ACTUALLY blogged yet) here's an entry about something and exciting I have never done before but tried for the first time: Raving!

A few friends of mine are huge ravers and they invited me and America to a rave in Atlanta with them this past Valentine's Day week, so a group of 5 of us went and let me tell you, It was amazingly fun! I've recently taken a huge liking to Ballroom, Swing, and Shag dancing; swing to be more precise. So I didn't really know how much I would like raving, which is generally a dancing thing you do by yourself.

It was super fun though, and we all got dressed up for it! My two huge raver friends already had their outfits before, but the rest of us had to get something semi-presentable together, so a weekend before the event the girls all went shopping to get things together. I had these awesome blue hair falls in, and America was going for a Cleopatra/Egyptian Goddess look.  There was lots of teal and gold in her outfit (which was surprisingly conservative and "normal" looking by comparison to ours). Another friend of mine had this cute corset and skirt and she wore these amazing cyber hair falls and got tons and tons of compliments on them!

All in all it was an amazing experience.  I was EXHAUSTED after 4 hours of straight dancing, but it was so worth it and I fully plan to do it again.  Maybe not every month, but definitely a few times a year! =D

North, South Carolina is 90 miles from Due West...what?

This is the first "real" blog post in this new blog, and hopefully there will be many more and significantly more hilarious ones to come.  A friend of mine sent me a video on Facebook that is from one of Bill Cosby's shows from back in the day.  Now this wouldn't be particularly amusing, if you didn't understand the guest on this show.

The guest on this particular show is Ms. Marsha Brody.  Now Bill doesn't realize this yet, but he is about to get a huge brain fuck by Ms. Marsha and she isn't even going to realize she's doing it.

To help you understand this video a bit more, you need a little bit more information about myself and where I am from.  I have lived in South Carolina, USA my entire life.  Ms. Marsha is also from South Carolina and has several sisters who still lived here.  Now, South Carolina, being the true and good southern place that it is, has some very interesting names for it's towns and such.  This plays a key part in this video.  To give you an example, there is a town in South Carolina called Welcome. I shit you not.  You can Google it and you will see it very close to Greenville, SC!  They have very amusing signs there that say "Welcome to Welcome!"  This is just ONE example of silly town names in South Carolina.  They get better!

There is another town in South Carolina call Due West.  That is the towns name. Due West.  It isn't Due West of anything in particular as far as I know. I just know it is Due West. Always has been and probably always will be. There is another town in South Carolina called North.  Yes. North. As in "I live in the town of North in South Carolina."  The town of North is approximately 90 miles south east of the town of Due West.  These are key details to understanding what Ms. Marsha is talking about.  Bill had no hope of understanding and just received a giant brain fuck.  His poor poor raped brain.  It's no wonder some of he had weird pauses in his stand up.  This woman fucked his brain and he can't think anymore!!
