Pretty cool. First Twitter, now this.
Hitler’s Housing Fiasco
Thanks Bruce.
Poor Kitty
Poor Kitty! This makes me sad. Is this your teenager? I hope not! Luckily the kitty was saved.
I Feel Like A Teenage Girl
Ok… I’m gonna admit it… I’m reading the Twilight books. Yes, yes… I know… the target audience is teenage girls (at least I think it is), but I’m really liking the books. I’m on book 2, New Moon, right now (almost done). The movie comes out next week. I like them for several reasons. 1) The woman who wrote them graduated from BYU (as did I). 2) Although it’s a story about a vampire, it’s not about vampires… it’s more of a Romeo and Juliet story… about a forbidden love. Check them out.
Kiss A Wookie
This perhaps is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on YouTube… thanks Kim!

UPDATE: From TheDude:
it turns out that this kid did not actually write or record the song; he just lipsynched it. The kid wasn’t trying to fool anyone. He actually gives credit to the band on the actual YouTube page where he posted the video, but it’s just kind of a bummer to find out that there wasn’t some uber-genius child prodigy behind it. Anyway, the song is by an a cappella group called Moosebutter. Check out the update on this page: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2008/11/the_greatest_john_williams_tribute_of_all_time.php
Bummer, that takes all the fun out of it.
Church v.s. State
I guess I was kind of disappointed to read this:

I really don’t think religious groups should tell you how to vote, nor should they contribute to a campaign.
Some people might think we are going to Hell in a hand-basket. Heaven forbid we have a black president, who is the best damn father I’ve seen and who is married to a woman who is going to promote family to our country. Heaven forbid 2 people who love each other want to get married and raise a family.
I personally think intolerance and ignorance does the most harm. Most wars are a result of this intolerance. Thinking someone else should be living the way we do and enforcing our way of life on them. We are a relatively new country. How can we pretend to think it’s our way or the highway? How can a country that’s only 5% of the world’s population think it’s the majority? Most of the world is not white (http://anthro.palomar.edu/ethnicity/ethnic_5.htm). The majority of the world is not Christian (http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html). We ARE the minority! We live in a world of many wonderful cultures. Perhaps we should convert to their way of thinking?
P.S. I actually had people that would not let their children come up to my door to trick-or-treat because I had Obama signs in my yard. Now that’s parenting! Instill the fear into the children.
A New Era
Hooray! I am happy. I think this is the start of a new era. Hopefully one where we can now pull together as a nation. I think we have a leader that can do that. McCain’s speech was great… awaiting Obama’s.
Signs, Signs, Everywhere There Was Signs
So Halloween was last night and someone decided to play a “trick” on me and take my 4 Obama signs and replace them with 1 McCain/Palin sign. Luckily I had a spare to at least put one back out there. My take on this… intolerance. We aren’t suppose to be a divided nation. We’re suppose to be working together to solve the problems. I think that’s the difference between the candidates.
Phreaky Photo Halloween
