Aspiring Musicians

A very good friend of mine I grew up with, is an aspiring musician, and is brilliant when it comes to tweaking his voice to sound like absolute heaven. When I moved to this town when I about twelve years old, he was the first friend I made that lived right next door. Ever since we have been inseparable.

I even remember the first day we moved into our new home, I turned on the music in the garage and started doing cart wheels in the backyard, while he was jumping up and down on his trampoline in his backyard with a friend. Both of them were about 10 years old and had toy microphones in their hands, something I found later to be his sisters toy microphones. They were both singing and raping while jumping on that trampoline, it was too funny.

We noticed we all loved music, and we all started hanging out and playing together. I have watched him grow from that young boy into the talented man he is today. The last time I saw him was two months ago, before he moved about forty miles away to live with his girlfriend, whom is also a good friend of mine since forever ago. Before he left he invited me to a show his was performing at, and I was ecstatic to see him perform finally after all these years.

He expressed an interest in finding a microphone he could find for an affordable price, so he could practice at home before his show date. I remembered the night before coming across a site that offered just that, so I told him that there were microphones for sale as well as some sweet looking new and used mitchell guitars at M F’s, and to check their site out.

He called me a few days later and told me that not only did her order a microphone but he also ordered lehle amp that he found that he is absolutely thrilled to have now. I’m happy I could help him prepare for such a great event I can see him perform at, and see how he can change the world with his beautiful voice.

Do You Want to Be A Mermaid or a Whale?

Recently, in a large city in Australia, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.

It said, “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?” A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.

To Whom It May Concern,

Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans.) They have an active sex life, get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia , the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia . Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.

Mermaids don’t exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don’t have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them, not to mention how could they have sex? Just look at them … where is IT? Therefore, they don’t have kids either. Not to mention, who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store? The choice is perfectly clear to me: I want to be a whale.

P..S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver, and a piece of chocolate with my friends. With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, ¨Good grief, look how smart I am!¨

An Orthopedic Surgeon’s Bike

How would you like to see this coming at you in the rear view mirror? What an awesome piece of work this guy has to show for all of his hard work. I just wonder how it rides. Looks like it might be a long stretch to the handle bars unless the owner has some pretty long arms.

Tee Time at Myrtle Beach Come June

My sister just called and has invited me to go with her and her husband to spend a nice relaxing long week end at one of the best Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts come the end of June. They just got their tax return in the mail (crazy quick I know, right) and have decided to live it up for a change. Things have been so depressing with the economy and the extreme winter weather that we all need a nice break before we all lose our minds. Wasn’t that so cool of her to include me in on the fun in the sun at the Myrtle Beach Resort that she has made reservations at come summer!

She went online and did a quick research and found a great Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort that has some great golf packages to offer. We all enjoy a good game of golf now and then. Our parents got us into golfing at very early ages and it has always been a great family activity that we try and partake in as much as possible. So golfing at one of the great golf courses that Myrtle Beach is so well known for sounds wonderful!

Knowing my sister as well as I do I can imagine that she has found one of the better Myrtle Beach Resorts that they have there and we are all in for a great treat. It has been a rough couple of weeks for me at work and this is just what I need to keep me going. Thanks sis!

Toddler Room: Panton Chair, Toys and More

Do you have a kid who is starting to learn how to play games? Do you plan on building a playroom just for him to enjoy? Are you having problems on what to place inside this room once it is finished? If your answer to all these questions is a resounding yes, then you should continue reading.

In any type of room, proper furniture and fixtures should be placed to add life and beauty to the room. The same is the case when developing a toddler’s room for your child or children. Here are some of the objects which should be present inside the room:

  • Toys – These things should always be present inside the playroom. Aside from the fact that they are the primary entertainment of your kids, they also keep them busy while you are doing the dishes or ironing the clothes. However, you have to make sure that you only place those toys which have been certified safe for children.
  • Coloring materials – According to research, there are two main activities which children do inside a playroom – play or color. Once they get tired of playing, they will look for another activity that looks fun but does not require as much energy as playing does.
  • Books – If your child has already reached five or six years old, it would greatly help him if you would include some educational books to entertain him. Make sure to spend some quality time with him every once in a while.
  • Panton chair – A room would not be complete without a decent and quality piece of furniture that your kids can sit on. This particular chair is not only safe, but also comes in different colors.
  • Mat – A playing mat or foam is vital in any playroom. If possible, it should cover the entire floor area of the room to keep your kids away from injuries due to excessive playing.
  • Air conditioner – Of course, you would want your child to feel comfortable whenever he goes to the playroom. If this is not possible, two electric fans would do.
  • Miniature playground – This is definitely not a requirement, but if you can afford it, then make sure you provide it. You may place a small seesaw, swing, and slide inside the room to keep your child and his friends busy.

These are just some of the objects, things and pieces of furniture which you should include inside your child’s playroom the moment it is finished. Among all these factors, the Panton chair may be one of the most crucial. Getting a sturdy and stable chair is very important to avoid accidents and other untoward incidents.

This specific chair design has been developed several decades ago, yet it has still managed to become popular in this time and age. Sporting a future and space theme, the Panton chair is a chair that will definitely get the attention of kids. And because it has a unibody design, you would not need to worry about creaking parts and features which get damaged easily.

Womens Ski Jackets

A few months ago, a girlfriend of mine I work with was thinking about both of us going to Maine for a week for the past year or so, and stay at a ski resort and learn how to ski and or snowboard together. I thought it was a great idea, we were both in need of a vacation after a long hard year. We did come across a problem while planning our vacation though. Both of us needed a warm, thick, but stylish ski jackets, but neither of us knew where we could find any Womens Ski Jackets at a good price. So both of us took a night off after work from our busy lives, to sit down at the computer and search the net to see if we could come across any deals or good buys.

It didn’t take long at all for us to find the perfect site that we both really liked. Neither of us could decide which jacket to pick, they were all such great quality for such an awesome price.  We ended up randomly picking one they suited both of our personalities. It was immediately shipped to our homes and when I opened my package I was amazed at how nice it really was. We were both very satisfied with the results of our search. Our new jackets kept us warm and cozy couldn’t be any happier with our choice of ski jackets for us awesome trip to Maine and long after.

Nice and Easy

Wearing a tactical vest could make the difference in weather you live or die for the majority of police officers that are subject to that kind of violence. And I saw a lot of other really cool police gear today via the Internet.

What is one of the many good things about the Internet is, that it allows you to visit virtually every business and industry without having to leave your house, which tends to sway most folks into entering their web-site to look around, when normally you wouldn’t have even considered finding business like that and then actually transporting yourself there to look around.

For example, no more than 1 1/2 blocks away from the house is a Police Gear & Accessories store that I drive right by at least twice a day, but never once have I pulled into the parking lot and gone in to look around and for no reak particular reason either. I mean I am interested in the merchandise that they have for these hard working law enforcers and with all of today’s technology I’m sure that I would find some pretty interesting and amazing things there to explore, yet I wouldn’t think to go and browse around there, ever. But I would check out their website.

The Need For Boater Education

Boating education is a very hot topic these days, and I believe that it is something that is important for people to learn. I don’t see much difference between getting behind the wheel of a car and getting behind the wheel of a water craft, and we all need to learn certain things in order to obtain an automobile’s driver license, so there is a need for the same type of information to be passed on in order to have the privilege to drive a boat.

There are more and boats being bought these days, which means more and more people operating them and the water ways are filling up with all kinds of idiots operating them, some with absolutely no prior experience or knowledge of the sport. I wish that people who want to buy or operate a boat would take some kind of minimum instruction and earn an operator’s license before they are allowed on the water. This would increase the safety of everyone on water, whether for recreation or for making their living.

Oregon’s Coast Line

Last year I discovered Oregon and fell in love with the state’s coast line. A good friend of mine from the internet has a lodge on the Pacific Coast, just outside of Portland, but after going out there and driving around discovering the Oregon coast, I found the Klamath Falls area and the Running Y Ranch resort. This area is perfect for southern Oregon weddings, family reunions and just a great getaway to enjoy the great outdoors. The Running Y Ranch has a grand lodge and conference center that is perfect for retreats, weddings and other large organized events. They are selling building lots, too, and the chalets have a great floor plan with either two or three bedrooms that makes a perfect weekend cabin. I am seriously considering a chalet and have looked at their floor plans that are posted online. There are large windows for enjoying the magnificent views, decks, fireplaces – everything a luxury yet rustic vacation in the great outdoors demands. I can own the chalet for my personal use and for friends or family who want to get away, or I can rent it out to tourists when I don’t need it for myself. This is the perfect place for me because not only can I spend my days fly fishing in the Klamath Basin, but I can play a round of golf just steps from the Lodge. The resort has also made arrangements with a variety of local outfitters and guides who can provide everything from a day on horseback to guided ATV trail rides. I’ve not done any white water rafting in years, but this might be the year to get wet again. There is so much to do and enjoy that just one week at the Running Y Ranch isn’t going to be enough time to fit it all in.

Sports Injuries

It amazes me how many people are disabled these days.  I see more and more people in wheel chairs, using canes and other types of devices to help them get around with, especially at the mall. I know that a good amount of people have sports injuries that they are dealing with. I have a friend who injured not just one, but both of his legs playing football in college, he is constantly on the look out for the newest types of knee supports to try. He will never be the same as I knew him in high school, but still an awesome guy with a lot to offer the world, besides playing football.

Sports are a big issue with a good majority of us and the amount of injuries done to us by playing these popular sports are mind boggling. A good web site that addresses sports injuries can be found at physioroom.com and deserves a look see if you have a mind to learn about injuries related to sports,  from a – z. They also have an official Premier League Injury Table List where you can see what sports player is injured and any of their previous injuries as well. Most interesting to read about!
