I was just watching the trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince a couple of days ago when I ran across a story this evening that said that the release would be moved from November of this year until July of 2009 due to the writer’s strike.
That sort of sucks. I enjoyed the Potter books and the girls and I go see each movie when it comes out, which is a big deal since I am only willing to pay for two or three movies a year.
Wanna see the short trailer? Not a lot to see yet but if you’ve read the books you already know what it’s about.
Spc. Matthew A. Koch
23 years old from West Henrietta, New York
Company C, 70th Engineer Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division
March 9, 2005
Spc. Matthew A. Koch was on his second tour of duty when he was killed by an IED that was detonated near his vehicle in Taji. He was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He previously was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Army Service Ribbon and medals for service in the fight against terrorism.
Koch enlisted in the Army in January 2002 after the attacks on September 11, 2001 and re-enlisted because he wanted to help the Iraqi people. “He was a brave soldier who made the greatest sacrifice anyone could make for everyone else’s freedom,” Diane Worman, Koch’s mother, said through tears. “He realized that by being over there, he was going to make a difference in the lives of those people.” She said her son once unsuccessfully sought green cards for an Iraqi family that had been threatened for helping Americans.
“He always looked out for the other guy, never thought of himself. He volunteered to go to C Co before our first deployment so that one of the guys from our Platoon didn’t have to deploy early and would have a chance to marry his fiance. That’s Koch for you, always looking out for his buddies.” – David A. “Buch” Buchanan.
“He really loved the service and went back,” said James Worman, Koch’s stepfather. “He had no problem. He was dedicated to the fact that people over there needed help. He was always concerned about other people. He loved children. He was a nice, soft-hearted kid.”
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

I’ve posted about the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk a couple of times before over the last couple of years. There are a few “causes” I try and support. MS is one of them and Alzheimer’s is another. I always try and donate something, even if very small to the Montel Williams foundation and the Alzheimer’s Association but I also post about them here at the site. Last year I donated my custom van to the Alzheimer’s Association. It’s probably a good thing too considering the cost of gas right now…
Anyhow, the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk is the country’s biggest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research. There are walks in over 600 different places around the country. Although the walks take place at different times of the year they are usually during the fall and are around two or three miles. The closest one to me is actually during the weekend I will be on vacation and out of town in October but there are several more in Kennesaw and Atlanta on different weekends.
Did you know that the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S. is now Alzheimer’s Disease? Someone new is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease every 71 seconds. That’s pretty scary and it’s not just something that occurs in old people. That’s sort of a myth. While it’s most common in people 65 and older even folks much younger than that can have it happen to them. Some notable folks that have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s include of course Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston in addition to Terry Pratchett, Harold Wilson and Rita Hayworth.
Go check out the links I gave you and get involved if you have the inclination. They are always looking for teams, team captains and individuals to participate and even if you can’t walk in one of the events they will always take donations!
It’s been another pretty long weekend. I was hoping for a lazy day at work since all of my managers were working but no such luck. I ended up at least working in the one closest to my house so I shot out of there a bit early and picked up my prescriptions before coming home. Other than that it has been a very quiet week. I have spent the great majority of my time writing about that missing little girl Caylee Anthony and updating my posts on her and her freakish family.
I also spent a bit of time redoing the site. There is still quite a bit of work to do but I like the way it is starting to come together. Any opinions? They are certainly most welcome. In the end I will do whatever I want but it’s always nice to get some feedback from people.
That’s about it for tonight. It’s been after midnight the last couple of nights before I hit the sack so I am going to try and get an extra hours sleep. I’m sure the girls I will be working with tomorrow will appreciate it…
For those of you that don’t know what an open trackback post is, participating in the Open Trackback Alliance is the chance to showcase your work to one or more sites and show it off to folks that may have never seen it before. Send a trackback or ping to this post and an excerpt will show up at the bottom of this entry both on the individual entry as well as the home page of my site giving you a chance to maybe get some new readers.
You can also host an open trackback and join in the fest. Simple head over to Linkfest Haven Deluxe and fill out the form. There are links and directions over there showing how to get trackbacks to show up properly on your main index. Using Linkfest you can also submit your trackback to all of the sites participating in the fest as well instead of trying to hunt them all down. Over at my blogrolls page there is a list of open trackback providers and the days that they normally provide open trackbacks as well.
When the wife arrived home late this evening the first thing she did was to start playing with my wenis. It is pretty dry and cracked so it feels pretty good when she starts rubbing it but she did so in front of the children. Is that legal?
Sometimes she plays with my wenis in public as well. It makes me nervous when she plays with my body parts in front of other people.
Sometimes I will rub it with this thing in the shower that’s got like a sandpaper substance on it to get rid of the built up skin. Then I put moisturizer on it.
I hate it when my damned wenis gets all dried out, but the elbow is a tough part of your body so it can take a bit of abuse…
