The Onion: Blockbuster Offers Glimpse Of Movie Renting Past

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this. As some of you may know I actually life right across the street form one of these museums.

I Really Think...

I really think that Facebook is going to take over Blogging and social email. We're likely to have have business Facebook in the future to share files and such...in which case email, even Microsoft Outlook is going to be gone.

Deep thoughts by Jason Hayden

I didn't get to go this year but it was right across town!

Likely most of you have seen this but since the Kentucky Derby was right across town from, I thought I'd share. I'd love to go next year. Come and vist that weekend!

I'm Still Not Going To Buy One But, I Love this Commercial!

This is light I know, but if my TVs on and I hear this commercial...I'll actually run back to watch. Two things - 1) The arm motions of the squirrel and 2) The look of the guys face throughout but in particular, after the wolf swallows the bird.

Wow...this 9 Year Old has some serious skills!

You don't have to watch the whole thing, of course, if you don't want. It only took me about the first minute to be amazed. MKata...I expect to see this level of ability in your garage next time.

Happy Bidding! or Let's Watch!

With 5 days 16 hours and counting down (as of this post) and at $50,100, Let's watch how much the Ortiz "Curse Jersey" once buried under the new Yankee Stadium ends up selling for on Ebay...

Let This Old Life Crumble

I was awoke this morning by a rumble (like most of you I'm sure)! I thought I'd share parts of this song as they seemed really relevant and Jeremy is from Lafayette...

Let It Fade - Artist(Band):Jeremy Camp

Have you been walking on a surface that's uncertain?
Have you helped yourself to everything that's empty? yeah!
You can't live this way too long.
There's more than this, more than this.
Have you been standing on your own feet too long?
Have you been looking for a place where you belong?
You can rest, you will find rest.
You can rest, you will find rest.

Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.

(insert second verse) then...

Let this old life crumble, let it fade.
Let this new life offered be your saving grace.
Let this old life crumble, let it fade, let it fade.

Glad to hear everyone is okay and thanks for your calls and txts messages! Love you guys! God is good!

Work Retreat in New Orleans

April 23rd - 25th I'll be in New Orleans, LA with work on a Service Retreat! We (about 45 of us from all over the United States) arrive on Wednesday before 1 PM (actually I'll be arriving on Tuesday night because of a work conflict), we'll do supper that night then all day Thursday we'll be working on a Habitat for Humanity project as a team, then on Friday afternoon we'll all fly home. All this to say that as an ice breaker for our group they've asked us to find and upload a childhood picture of ourselves. If you'd like to see mine I have put them on my Facebook.

I ran across this picture while searching for my childhood photo and decided I had to share! What's up with the guy in the background? I've never realized how creepy it was until now...needless to say this pic was taken some time ago. Your thoughts?

Couch - The Rest of the Story!

Well after many many hours, miles of searching over 2 states, and a Blog survey I am finely in possession of a couch and small chair for my new apartment home. I'll have to get pics. up sometime soon. Thanks everyone for your input and especially to my dad and brother who were gracious enough with their Saturday to bring them to me from Indianapolis.

Photo's of My New Apartment

Please view my album on www.facebook.com to see photo's of my new apartment in Louisville, KY.!

Couch Update

The next time you are in the need for new couch...do everything you can to figure out a better solution. Picking out a couch in your price range that you like is very, very difficult. I've not found one yet that I like (well I did but it's in Indy and I'm in Louisville). I'll keep you posted.

Otherwise things are well in the new city. I went to Ninth and O last Sunday and Highview Fegenbush on Wednesday PM to check them out. I'll keep you posted on the church search.

I'll be home this weekend as it's Jeannie's Birthday!!! She and I are going to run a 5K tomorrow AM as part of her birthday fun. Wish her a Happy Birthday when you get a chance! Happy Birthday Jeannie!

Please Vote for Which Couch I Should Get!!!

I will be moving in a couple weeks and am in need of a couch. The couches below I like but would like to get your input. Please vote below, by taking the survey, as to which one!

Note: Pictures below may include other cool items and the entire group of furniture. We're just voting on the couch itself, my new apartment won't look like the picture!

A. The Equinox - Microfiber-ish - Pillow back (in stock)


B. The Transition Leaf - Also a polyester - Has a good texture to it. (in stock)


C. Sabrina Maze - Kind of a contemporary/retro thing going on - Pillow back - Looks to be a very durable polyester of sorts. (in stock)


D. The Logan Stone Sectional - Has the microfiber / leather mix as you can see. Pillow back - Only sectional in the running right now. (in stock)


E. The Natuzzi Tucson Dark - Higher end - nice leather couch. (not in stock - mid-April)



F. Duraplush Mocha - Microfiber - Each half reclines. (in stock)

What kind of Blog is this?

I don't really know why this Blog has focused on canines all of a sudden...I'm sure it's just a phase. Thanks anyway, to Mup for the pic below, many if not all of you have seen this but I felt it was my "doody" to get past the previous post(s).

There are some fundamental truths in the caption of this photo, that I tend to forget as I go thru life. Including...I get lazy and/or in a rush and I lose focus of what's important or do careless things (at work, at home, in various relationships) then a mess happens and I act all surprised, as if I didn't have anything to do with it.

Note: Upon further review my legal counsel informs me that I must post this link to stop any further legal actions against this blog, so http://ihasahotdog.com/2008/03/13/funny-dog-pictures-and-i-am-a-dog

Doody Dangler!

Ok, this should be my last "Doody" post, maybe ever, but I just didn't want you to "Get Caught Holding the Bag!" Plus I thought I could continue with Markus's comic strip theme. You may have to click on the image to enlarge and read.

Doody Dangler eliminates the need to carry the bag of doody. The Doody Dangler simply solves the problem that millions of dog owners encounter every single day. simply attaches to the leash and carries the load, leaving your hands free and clear. It secures tightly on any leash (including retractables) and works every time.The Doody Dangler doesn't annoy the owner or the dog. Works with ALL leashes

A White Crusty what??

Flying between JFK and Indianapolis yesterday I picked up one of the SkyMall catalogs. From time to time, I want to see what the "highbrow's" are into. This one especially caught my eye.

POOP FREEZE is the first freeze-spray aerosol made for animal waste pick-up.

Poop Freeze is an easy, earth-friendly way to do your "dooty" and clean up after your dog. It chills animal waste to -62°F, creating a white outer "crust" film that solidifies the waste and enables you to quickly place in a bag and dispose. Makes picking up loose stool and diarrhea easier. Effective for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, etc. (anything that poops I guess?) Indoor or outdoor use. Safe for humans and pets when used as directed.

A Clean ... Easy ... Quick ... Affordable solution to nasty waste clean-up problems.

Pet waste removal made easy!

Needless to say, I laughed out loud!

Ginger Ale?

equals

??


What on earth? We've all seen it...you're on a airplane, the Flight Attendant comes down the isle and asks if you'd like anything to drink, right? An all TOO common response, "Ummm, do you have Ginger Ale?" 1) Yes, of course they have Ginger Ale available - because in a airplane seems to be the only place anyone ever dinks it. and 2) Why?

Name the last time you were at a get together and the host had provided, or someone had brought, Ginger Ale? Name the last time you saw Ginger Ale on tap at McD's or BK? Name the last time you walked up to a pop machine and for $1 you could push the button for a Ginger Ale? Name the last time you were really thirsty and thought to yourself..."Wow, a nice Ginger Ale would really hit the spot!"

So if 00.1% of all mankind drinks Ginger Ale off a plane, why does 40% of mankind drink it on a plane?

Ok, I'm done ;-)

Ask Me!

"Accouta-blogging" is what I'll call it, I want to give it a try. It's a way of having others help me keep accountable for making my goal.

Goal = Be a better steward of my body. As I get older, I have realized, thru personal and family experiences, that the decisions I make today have physical ramifications down the road and that God is more pleased, and glorified, if I take care of myself now. I need a bit of a heart change too, making sure I do so for the right reasons.

So here's where I'm going to start, I want to start simple...Eat according to my manufactures recommendations...eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm not. Hmmm...seems simple doesn't it? We'll see - I'll try to keep you posted and ask me how I'm doing please.

18-1

This is clearly for all of the Giants fans or non-Pats fans (like myself).

Classic!

Okay for those of you who are sports challenged, this may help. Here is the logo for the New York Giants who beat the, now 18-1 New England Patriots.



And see...a record of 14-6 can be better than 18-1

15 MPG!

Had a good week last week and I must share! I was in Louisville for most of it (Mon. - Thurs.) working. Monday started out with a trip to AVIS where I was hooked up very nicely with a 2007 HUMMER w/ heated leather seat, XM, etc. That was awesome, especially since I didn't have to pay for gas. According to my calculations it got approx. 15 MPG. which is actually better than I had anticipated and better than my last vehicle...a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Ext. Cab Long Bed 2WD...my advice is to stay away from Dodge pick-ups! I would get a H3 if gas was cheaper! Anyhow...I was a little stressed about the week otherwise...had to do a training on a program that I didn't know much about. God came thru and helped my sorry self out. Thanks Jeannie for prayers! Needless to say the training went great and I had a great week.

Got to see Josh and Gretchen while down in Louisville...They are always great fun! I was over at their house and we played a game with some other SBTSers. Funny story...we talked about the last time I saw them...we met at a coffee shop near their church...I couldn't remember the name. I asked Gretchen..."What was the name of the coffee shop where we all met? All that comes to mind is Butt Brother's, and I'm pretty sure that isn't it." She points to her kitchen counter where she had a mug from the shop setting...on the mug was their logo...proudly reading, "Heinie Brothers Coffee" We had a good laugh!
