Did you know that there have been four U.S. Presidents assassinated...can you name them?

Kennedy
Lincoln
everyone gets those..
McKinley 
and Garfield

I had full intentions of more but nothing is coming to mind

The King of the court



Well unless you have lived on the island from Lost with Hurley, you have undoubtedly heard of this man..Lebron James... He is arguably the best basketball player of all time and most count him as the best currently playing. (if you don't believe me read the article on ESPN today) Look at the Cavs, for 7 seasons he elevated a franchise and put them on the map, similar to Justin Timberlake of N'SYNC. I don't care if you agree with how he left but the Cavs have fallen from one of the best teams in the NBA to one of the historic worst! (currently 10-46)

Mr. James is a family man marrying his high school sweetheart and later having two children. A business man, with lucrative endorsements with Nike, Upper Deck, Micky D's, and State Farm. Heck hes even been on Vougue Magazine, only 2 other men have ever done that ( Richard Gere and George Clooney, if you were running to google that).

I'm sure will find out in 6 months that he has a million mistresses hes texting and is holding illegal gerbil fight matches at his house in Atlanta, but for now...
Long Live the King.

Happy App Day


I have three great free limited time apps for you today..


The first one is for any and everyone who loves to run or bike


RunKeeper


This is one of the best apps I have ever seen, it usually costs $10 but till mid February its FREE.

Its so good it almost makes me want to run, then I return to reality


Super Mega Worm


I'm not a huge gamer beyond an occasional Words with Friends game and some Angry Birds, but that might all change, this game is defiantly worth a look. It has a great interface and is a lot of fun, and as well its FREE for a limited time...

remember the early bird doesn't always get the worm


White Noise


I don't have sleeping problems by any means but wouldn't you want falling asleep to be a little more fun? If that's a yes then check this one out, there is a free and paid version of the app both work great! you can mix sounds set sleep timers and if you have an ihome then it works exceptionally well!

sleep great. wake up great.


Have a great Sat.

Can we send them to egypt?

I don't know about the rest of you but I have grown increasingly more tired of this nut ball named Lady Gaga..

If I were to poll Americans, I think they would vote to remove a few "Celebrities" from the realm of pop culture. The Winners among the Losers would be as follows..Sarah Palin, Lady Gaga, and that nut ball with the kids of TLC, and Crazy Kanye...
I don't really care where we send them as long as there is no cameras, TMZ, or for Crazy Kanye's sake, Twitter... Maybe we could just turn Idaho or Wyoming into a holding state, "Where celebrities go to die" that could even be on the state flag for all I care!

just in case you haven't seen enough of them...have a great weekend.

RIP Guitar Hero

I don't know if all of you have heard but today Activision announced that they plan to kick the guitar hero franchise to the curb.

This may sadden some of you out there, to me personally I was more concerned about the price gouging that was going on where I had my car washed today..
But...this game has had a major cultural impact, (not on me I hate it and am horrible at it), there have been 25 different version of the game to date as well as it being the first game franchise to gross $1 billion dollars for Activision.
(25 versions of Metallica and Van Halen? and they wonder why it failed, should have made a phone call to my man Lil Wayne)


The games ultimate demise is due in large part to over saturation, part of the reason why, to this day I still don't eat Strawberry Cupcakes...There is such as thing as "To much of a good thing"

So America says goodbye to you guitar hero, see you again one day on Vh1's "I Love the 2000's" while Flava Flav and Vanilla Ice talk about how great you are...

Cool. Real Cool.

Snow in the South

Well I'm not sure if my readers, maybe now 5, know this but out here in Abilene we have been living like a group of Jamaicans in Colorado..trapped and confused..

Among my much appreciated time off I found time to sled behind a hummer, play some ping pong, watch a few movies, and have a million laughs..(that sounds like a line out of a sappy chick flick)

These are the times you don't get to have when you hit the real world and you have to begin to be responsible and do adult things like taxes and mortgage payments...

I have 4 months till that, so might as well live it up. Thanks HSU for the snow days, I am very grateful!

Here's a little video I ran across pretty dang good commercial, it appeals to men and women on multiple levels, VW not a fan of your cars but I do like your commercials though...

Stay warm now
