Michael Jackson Medley

Saturday, 12 September 2009 5:51 P GMT-05

OK. So I don't know who this guy is---never heard of him before until a friend passed along this video to me in an email.  This is a music video arrangement of the same guy singing various Michael Jackson tunes. I can't be positive, because there is so much hidden talent out there, but this just looks too damn professional to be coming from a couple of college kids---the guy singing these songs and the guy who did the mix on the video.  No offense to college students----it's just, if this is really the case and these guys are amateurs, then things have reeeeally changed since I went to college....lol   

This is one great clip.....enjoy!

SORRY GUYS....The video is no longer available---it's property of the big 'O' and apparently the big 'O' doesn't play nice with her vids!! tisk tisk.

 

Holy Crap!! 

I don't watch too much television so it's no surprise that I missed these girls on Oprah.....hell, I don't even know when this particular episode first aired (?). But these chicks are bloody phenomenal.

You know, what cranks up the envy factor for me isn't so much that these girls are drop dead beautiful, or incredibly talented, or even that they take on one of my most favorite Paul McCartney tunes and lay it down nearly as good, if not better.  Nope. It's none of that. It's the fact that they make it look so damn easy.....and it's not!! I used to play the violin and I never ever ever sounded anything at all like this. But I did crank out some pretty mean scales....lol  Seriously though, these girls R*O*C*K   You can learn more about them by clicking on the ESCALA link.  Bloody wow.

 

 
 

a place that you go to give

Saturday, 29 August 2009 4:40 P GMT-05

I saw a quote today that was posted on Facebook from Ken Rutkowski ; a quote I am positive at least some people out here will appreciate. Ken has this thing he does on Facebook called, 'My Thought For The Day'. 

On Thursday, the following quote was Ken's thought for the day:

 

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships

comes from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something

They are trying to find someone who is going to make them feel good

In reality, the only way a relationship will last

is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give

and not a place that you go to take

Abbey update

posted Wednesday, 1 July 2009

Abbey goes in for her second Distemper shot tomorrow---she's been doing really good since Round One.  Still, there will be one more to go in a couple of weeks after tomorrow but I think we got to her health problem early enough.  Now, if I could only get her to stop barkingUndecided

I'm not saying anything bad about Abbey so try not to take this the wrong way because I knew no matter which dog I brought home from the shelter, there was bound to be a transition that I would have to get through, or overcome---no matter how little or how much time had gone by with Sadie being gone. And I also know that it isn't fair to compare a dog I had for 13 years to a new puppy only 6 months old. There obviously is bound to be a few major key (and expected) differences.  I never realized just how much I depended and counted on Sadie knowing what she knew---constant reinforcement to the rules wasn't an issue with Sadie, or necessary. She just knew what to do and how to be a dog.  In some respects, Abbey sometimes reminds me of a train wreck just waiting to happen---God forbid she ever gets a hold of any of the animals she tries to go after. I'm not used to dealing with the alpha mutt of the litter. Her fear aggression sometimes is off the chart and she challenges me on nearly every. single. thing.  

I know about the behavior she's expressing and how I'm supposed to deal with it. Having an alpha dog is a job and a half and Abbey needs to learn that she's not the pack leader between the two of us. Some days with the training are better than others but it is a process. Come hell or high water, it will happen. I may at some point need to put her in some type of training class to teach Abbey some socialization skills with other animals but she's just not ready for it yet. With the kind of sensory overload that would be for her right now, she would probably explode.  lol
