It’s 3 Days Late, But Happy New Year!

Okay, so I’m 3 days late in posting this. I’m a busy guy! Right….. Like anyone believes that.

I hope you and those around you had a great start to the New Year.

The Husbear and I ended the old calendar year and started the new in Dallas. We had a relaxing getaway weekend.

And I got to meet several people in real life that I had only interacted with either through blogging and/or Twitter/Facebook.

First I got to meet Jim from over at Jim’s Stuff. I snapped this picture of he and my Husbear dancing at the Round-Up Saloon and Dance Hall on New Year’s Eve:


That’s them in the middle of the picture. If you squint you can make them out.

I then got to meet Thomas of The Boomerang Texan (and formerly blogging as “T Town Tommy”) who mostly now exists as @thomasntexas. Thomas and his partner, and the previously mentioned Jim, and the Husbear and I all met up for a Brunching.


Myself, Thomas, Thomas’ husband, and my Husbear.

Sadly I didn’t have my camera with me until after Jim had already left from the Brunching. I’ll fix that with the next trip to Dallas!

And I also met a few people from Twitter as well! I just get around these days. At least digitally.

It’s takes a lot out of me wrangling the Husbear after a night of him being a social butterfly. Which caused this:

That’s what I get for leaving the camera laying around for the Husbear to find.

Happy 20-11 to you all!

Until next time...

Random Music I Love

I know I’m a little sarcastically sadistic at times, but to me this is the perfect Xma$ season song.

Originally written and sung by R.E.M., I like this cover of “Everybody Hurts” by The Corrs:

True, it’s not as pain-filled in it’s sound as the original, but it’s still good.

Here’s the original R.E.M.’s version, if you haven’t heard it.

Other cover versions of this song you might find interesting:
Annie Lennox and Alicia Keys
Joe Cocker
Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir
DJ Sammy Feat. Nyah
Liza Veiga, with the Czech Philarmonic Chamber Orchestra
Frida Hyvönen
Bodies Of Water

Until next time...
