Sorry it's so long but I didn't have a script and didn't know what I would say until I said it.

Happy Mother's Day!

I've always said women are just as strong as men. We can't match them in brute strength (although try telling that to a woman that's gone through nineteen hours of labor and just pushed a watermelon through a drinking straw) but emotionally they can't rival us. Women are the backbones of the family. They are the ones that nourish. They are the crafty gurus; they are the organizational wizards that keep the household running smoothly.
They are the banishers of bad dreams and the healers of boo boos. They are the open arms waiting to comfort when the world seems cruel. They are always their child's biggest fan and their husband's best friend. They are the most monetary underpaid people on the face of the earth but, at the same time ,the most rewarded.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful ladies out there! You belong in a league of your own!

In Search of Diamonds - Blocky Mix (Minecraft Machinima)

My son plays this all the time!! Creating a world from your imagination is pretty neat. This game has already sold more than a million copies and is only in the beta stage. Meaning it isn't on the market yet because it isn't finished. My son isn't the only one smitten with it apparently because we found this tribute song on YouTube. Hope you have a great weekend!

How To Feel?

Curious to know your thoughts about Osama bin Laden's death. Everywhere I turned yesterday everyone was exclaiming that justice had been served, telling me I should be glad he was gone.
but to tell you the truth it didn't make me feel good and that made me feel bad; kind of unAmerican.
I wanted to feel some sort of vindication had been awarded to those that lost their life on September 11th and to their families.
But his was a life, in spite of it all, was still a living, breathing life.When they found Saddam Hussein, he was living in squalor, in filth. He had been surrounded by such splendor and security and was reduced to living like a rat in hiding: that in itself was a feeling of victory for me.
His execution didn't give me that same feeling.
Maybe that's what sets us apart from those tyrants; that feeling of high regard for human life.
Such conflicting emotions yesterday tugging at me. Some of it was anger that we were forced into such an action in the first place; if innocent life hadn't been taken in the first place then death in retaliation wouldn't be necessary to safe guard other innocent lives.What is the saddest part to me is that it was not a life wasted but a life lived in waste.  As with Saddam, Osama had such power. Can you imagine if all that power had been used for good? It's unfathomable what acts of kindness could have been accomplished.
Such a wasted use of power. Amazing what power in the wrong hands can do.
Many, many feelings swirling yesterday.  So how did you feel about the history being made?

Trying It Out(loud)

What started out as a screen shot and sound test became something with a life of it's own. First impulse was to delete because I looked horrible, so that's why I saved it and published it. Life's not always pretty....
