The Nothing…

I really don’t have much going on to write about. I have a few things kicking around in my head I have started posts about, but they just seem to be missing something. So they will stay drafts until I can figure out what’s missing.

I’m do feel much improved after being ill last week. I blame the weather here in Arkansas—first it’s 20 degrees out, then 24 hours later is 60 degrees out. Stupid weather.

Are the holidays over yet?

Until next time...

See What Happens When I’m Ill?

This started out innocent enough.

Dennis over at “Passing Afternoon” tweeted this a couple of days ago:

The Imperial March performed with a recorder and ukulele. http://tinyurl.com/6nrf7v

Imperial March? Of course I had to go watch it! (You should too. It’s worth it. But come back when you’re done….)

After that little gem, I had to go see what else was on that site since it was dedicated to ukulele videos. Then I wandered over to YouTube and did the same.

I present you with some cover “finds”.

A cover of Rehab (by Amy Winehouse):

Those two guys are a band from the UK called The Re-entrants. Their tagline is: “Because Size Isn’t Important”. Funny! You should go check out some of their other stuff. It’s good. But I’m probably biased, because they’re kind of cute to look at.

Then there’s this for all you Britney lovers… Toxic:

And for all you “old skool” video game fans out there, I present… The Super Mario Theme:

I think I now have a thing for the ukulele. I has taken a proud home right under my thing for the banjo and the Tubulum.

Until next time...

“Bears Don’t ‘Woof’…”

I blame bstewart23 of “This. That. No Other.” fame for this post.

It all started innocently enough. I was reading some of his old posts because I was at home ill today, and it seemed like the thing to do. I came across a video he had posted parodying the game “Mystery Date” (worth watching… go check it out… but come back!).

At the end of that video, there were some YouTube suggested videos, where I stumbled upon this, er, piece of work.

Until next time...

My Purple-headed Monster…

This past Saturday, I managed to talk [She Who Shall Not Be Named, At Her Request] into throwing some color into one of the outlines on my arm.

No, it really doesn’t hurt. I’m just a goofball and I like to make faces for the camera. Getting a tattoo is an interesting and different sensation for everyone. To me it doesn’t hurt. It’s more just an annoying, tingling sensation. Don’t get me wrong—there are some places that remind you that you are alive. But in general it’s not a big deal.

I personally think it’s more the positions one may have to contort themselves that causes pain. Although I guess I should be used to being bent over like that for long periods of time.

Say hello to my purple-headed monster koi…

I intentionally wanted him to look rather phallic. A purple head with pulsating pink and red flesh. Now I can ask people if they’ve seen my purple-headed monster and NOT get slapped. Much.

I actually have video footage from this. I’m just waiting to get it from [She Who Shall Not Be Named, At Her Request] before I can post it. Because I know how much you all love to hear me in action… heh heh.
