Musical Genius!

So I've noticed that paying attention to sites like YouTube will force you to inevitably run across some very musically talented people. So I thought I'd show you some of those on here that I have found to be especially entertaining.

Zelda Wind Waker Theme One Man Band:


No Air Cover:


A Whole New World:


A new take on Bohemian Rhapsody:


Mario Drums:


Inspector Gadget Guitar:


Medley Goodness:


Those are just a few of the ones I have found in my exploration of this wonderful site. Obviously I recommend going on and searching for these kinds of videos. Not the ones that are professionally done but rather what people do from their house (yes I know, not all of the videos I just posted follow that rule. Get over it.).

So there you go.

Until next time....

Happy Holidays Merry Christmas!

Well here we are, folks. We have arrived at another Christmas. Celebrations have already ensued all over the world. Some places because it is Christmas already, some because they can. Like my house. It's a "because we can" type of situation. Our tradition goes something like this: Christmas Eve we open all gifts; Christmas morning Santa brings one unwrapped gift for each person and fills their stocking with goodies. Hooray for old traditions! Will I continue this with my kids? Not sure. I guess that all depends on what my wife wants to do. I'm willing to be flexible.

So what did this gift-unwrapping unveil? Many good gifts. As I type my computer is downloading some software that I have been wanting for a long time and has been given to me by my parents. It's taking a long time but it's worth it. I also got The Dark Knight on DVD, a really nice edition of Yahtzee, some money for a digital camera I've been wanting, some much needed undershirts, and a car phone charger. All of it great stuff.

Now I wait for the morning, anticipating what I'll get. I don't like to guess so I'm not going to. For some reason if I'm right it can take some of the joy out of getting the gift. If I'm wrong then it also has the potential to take joy out of it for me since I run the risk of being disappointed. So I'll wait patiently, get some sleep, the usual.

So today I will not end with a quote, but just very simply say:

Merry Christmas!

Until next time....

Life Gets Away From You

Who knows that happened to this semester? I looked down at my homework and when I looked back up it was gone...what happened? How can something pass you by so quickly? It's incredible the rate at which time seems to pass when you're overall enjoying yourself. It's almost a whole month longer than the summer was and it seems so much shorter. I attribute this to the fact that the people I truly want to be with exist here instead of home.

It's even been a long time since my last post on here. I blame professors who give you homework. I guess it's because they want you to learn something. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Hopefully the stuff I really needed to learn will stick with me next semester. Life now becomes harder that I'm trying to learn a profession. I'm slowly realizing this.

And now to Christmas, now known as the most commercialized time of the year, rather than the most wonderful. What have we become? I love giving gifts, don't get me wrong. But haven't we got our priorities a little mixed up? Shoot, I'm as guilty as anyone. I'll go broke buying Christmas gifts before I'll sponsor a child for a year. Why is that? Well the most obvious reason to me is that I can see immediate results here. Along with that I'm affecting and giving good things to those closest to me, which are the people I tend to want to affect the most. I don't think there is anything wrong with this, but I do wonder if there are less selfish things I should do with my money sometimes that I don't.

But soon even that will be over. Then New Years. Then...Valentines Day I think. Then the next one, and the next one...and the next. And they just keep revolving. I guess, for me at least, it's really easy to get caught up in looking forward to the next celebration. What can I say? I like to have fun. But that doesn't justify forgetting how to live in the now. How to affect those around me now. Just a little thought.

And with that, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, lest I not make it on here again before the infamous roast beast holiday.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
