I thought about this yesterday as I was driving back to work late in the afternoon.

I want to start by saying I hate country music but I can listen to it. I don't mind the old country and bluegrass, but the new stuff just cuts deep. While I was waiting on Moms car to be checked out at the repair shop, I saw this viedo on CMT. Yes, I know, why continue to watch it? Well I couldn't change the channel and even if I had the remote I probably would have kept it on. The song is very close to how I feel right now. I can't shake the memories, I can't help but wonder how it could have been fixed. I'm constantly talking with friends and family who keep telling me I need to move on and live my life. It's going to be alright they say.

But this time of the year is bad for me. She just left... She didn't even make a serious attempt to work on the problem with me. Just a bunch of lies and empty promises. I do have to say, though, that I have not sank into "the bottle" like the song implies for Garth. And in fact I have actually gone the other way. Even though I have been moving back into the church it's still hard and pains my heart. To know that I will be able to move on, eventually, and still see the future pain that the boys will inevitably have to deal with.

Well, I guess it's time to check on the car and see how things are going.

You have got to be freaking kidding me!  Here is the post from Gizmodo.com...

 

Have you ever had a stressful day?  The kind of stress that causes headaches? Then I suggest that you buy a "Rubber Chicken" and start-a-choking!  Hehehehehehehe

Psst. Check out the post below and I think there's a Manufacturer link if you would like to actually buy one.

So I was reading about this new camera from Panasonic called the G1 and aside from the awesome fact that it will be served in multiple colors... i.e. RED... they had some pictures of it at a trade show. It's always really cool to see a device taken apart, but it's even cooler when it's done with showmanship.

Assumed Destinations Destroyed

I look over this sea of Pain
I'm looking for the destination
Verily I find it and set the course
Only roaming to my imagination

A storm rolls in and I'm lost
The sky falls and desperation avails
My eyes strain in all directions
To succeed we set out sails

The storm clears and the boats sway
I revel in the peace and see the course
We sing "Huzzah" as we breech this day
Once the merriment dies we see our site

I realized in dismay that we are off course
In our speedy landing, we've damaged the ship
No options exist, but to stay the course
Assumptions rise and there in we cast our chips

The chips fall to the east, to the sun
We march and march all so happy to stay
The hilltop is reached and joy... is a gun...
We stare down it's barrel, slowly backing up

Patiently we stratagize our next move
The shortest path is to the East
Hearts fall in despair and hearts sink
No warning, spirits rise... they rise to fight the beast

This beast strong and fierce stalks its prey
Just then we see the hostage behind this monolith
"A Damsel!" one says. With all heart we pray
Don't be in dismay as we tear down this foe

The fighting rages and we have lost a few
Our men regroup with shields and spears
The damsel speaks... but no sound flows
Her wish for us to leave, would only bring tears

We, with deep respect for the victim... fall back
"No rerouting the course!" we yell.  This is our only need
Sound, echos from "her" and she justifies the beast
We echo "it's" future fall.  We yell, "I'll just slow my speed!"

We turn back to our camp to plan a heading
Our way is blocked with no option of breaking
We rest with broken hearts from the beating
And so we wait tolerant and listening
