It’s time to buy a new amp head for my guitar amplifier. They tend to be a bit pricey, but I have to have it. I love to play my guitar and I always buy Bogner when I get stuff for my guitar. It is my baby and I have to get the very best so I have the very best sound possible. My kids just love to hear my play as well and I like to make them happy.
My TV
Well I have been unhappy with my cable company lately. The package just really isn’t what I wanted and doesn’t have nearly enough channels for what I am paying for it. I am seriously thinking about direct tv for my home. I am hoping that the channel line up will be better then the cable one is. I have a lot of research to do into it, but I am confident that they must be better than what I have. I asked my brother what he thinks and he said it was always worth a shot. I can agree with that.
The dx3 direct tv I looked up seemed really good, but I haven’t called as of yet to see. I am still doing a bit of research online. I really want to be sure before I make any commitments. There is always a contract now a days for all kinds of stuff, even my cable. I need to know if this is so for satellite as well. I can see on www.dx3.net what I need to know as far as that is concerned. The call really shouldn’t take much time out of my day as most companies are rather efficient that way. I will call just as soon as I finish up work.
Country music
Written by my friend Constance Hayden
I used to watch music videos very rarely. I used to watch MTV when I was in high school and enjoyed any kind of video. However, ever since we got satellite TV from www.expertsatellite.com, I watch country music videos pretty frequently. The other day, my son and daughter, who are both toddlers, were dancing to the music video for the song that says “Country girl shake it for me.” I was laughing so hard and luckily I was able to catch it with our video camera. It is so funny to me to watch kids dance because I always think about the fact that they learned their dance moves from someone. My husband was mildly concerned when I showed him the video of our kids dancing because he thinks that they should not be listening to that kind of music. I told him that country music is pretty clean and that I would much rather they dance to country music than rap music, or even rock music. Either way, they looked pretty cute dancing in front of the TV.
A few things for the house
I decided to buy a few things for the house. I like to entertain during the summer months with BBQ’s and such. Therefore, I am getting a few of the things that are on my wish list for this years summer season. The first is a set of linon 24 inch blackmetal swival chair for the bar I found at a garage sale a couple of months ago. The extra chairs will allow for more seating as well as adding a nice visual for the back porch.
I want a 3-gallon beverage dispenser with cooling cylinder for behind the bar as well. Then I can use it for half kegs of drinks for my parties. A beverage dispenser with cooling cylinder makes it so I don’t have to keep buying loads of ice for every entertainment and if there is left over it wont get hot later on because there will be no melted ice.
Job in Santa Clara
Guest post from: Denver Stephens
I live in Los Angeles, and just got a great job offer in Santa Clara. I know I cannot move my wife and children to Santa Clara since my son has special needs and is in a special school. We don’t want to change his environment since we know that it would be tough for him to handle. My wife and I decided that I would get a small apartment in Santa Clara so that I could work there during the week, and then I would come home to Los Angeles on the weekends to be with the family. I am going to miss them a lot, but I cannot pass up this opportunity. Taking this job would mean a big increase in salary, and we need all the money we can get to help our son get better. I found an apartment to rent pretty quickly, and then I started getting everything set up. I knew I would need to find direct tv in santa clara since I wouldn’t have my wife and kids there to keep me busy at night.
Danged XBox
I am so glad I bought insurance on the XBox. It is freezing up while you play the game and then you lose all of your progress in the game. If you have been playing for a while then you will lose a lot of progress. I bought it refurbished to save money, but made sure to buy a years worth of insurance just to be safe. When you have children it is a must with any kind of electronics. Especially game systems that run for hours on end. Time to hit gamestop.
A friend sent this to me, because she knows I am always at my computer. It is too funny. You always have to remember to have a sense of humor. Without it life is just boring.
Going to the bar
I need a little me time. I asked my neighbor to sit with the kids so I can have a few hours just to myself. I love my kids, but every now and then I need to be in a place where kids are not allowed with only adults to talk to. A little music and a few drinks will help relax me a lot. I really want to play a few games of pool as well. I think I will invite my father to join me since he loves to play pool. =)
Game night
Tonight is game night for myself and the children. I love having a game night. We gather around the dinning room table to play a game and laugh a lot. I usually have to pick the game myself since leaving it up to the kids means an argument over which game we should play. The only time I let them pick is if they come to me having already agreed without a fight.
Are the Muppets still relevant?
Guest written by our friend Sergio Chaney
Last night I was watching the CMA awards on www.expertsatellite.com and I saw a commercial for a new Muppets movie. Not too long after that the hosts of the show did a sketch with Miss Piggie. It got me thinking. When was the last time I saw the Muppets on something? I think it has been at least 10 years or more since I last saw anything new come out featuring the Muppets. I don’t have children so I am not up on these things but I would think I would notice a commercial or a print ad or something. Do kids even like puppets anymore? I would think that with the new age of technology and Pixar they wouldn’t be interested in watching puppets on a stage. I guess you still have Sesame Street whose characters are basically huge puppets. I always loved Big Bird and Snufalupagus as a child but you never know with kids these days. They probably watch CSI and try to figure out who committed the crime. Or maybe they are watching some computer generated cartoon that has deeply involved plots with twists and turns that you wouldn’t expect. Gosh I am glad I don’t have kids yet. I am not ready for their advanced little minds.
