Just some recent news and video clips about the fires raging in California right now. Have to wait until I actually have free time to actually post any content

The game went pretty well tonight. We picked two seniors and both were in the band. Both also missed their kicks so as it stands right now, the girl that made the field goal during the first home game is the only one in the running for the $1000 scholarship. We are going to let two more kick during half-time at the last game of the season and if either of them make it then we will have a kick-off after the game. If neither of them kick the goal then we will go ahead and present her with the check.

I left during half-time, right after the kick and photographs. Villa Rica was getting their asses handed to them. The score was 21-6 at half-time.

Tomorrow is Pete’s birthday party, so hopefully my stores will be fully staffed. I need to get out of there by 2pm so that I can get home and get cleaned up.

Other than that it’s been a pretty uneventful day, just an extremely long one.

I unfortunately don’t have a bunch of time this morning to post much of anything. After work this afternoon I have a short meeting and then have to be at the local high school to do the scholarship kick-off thing. It’s Homecoming there tonight so we need to be there a bit early in order to get a parking place. I am hoping I can manage to get out of the meeting pretty quickly. I short nap before the game would be very nice indeed.

Venomous Kate is hosting a contest over at Electric Venom that’s sponsored by a flower delivery place. Write your Haiku about Google, post in the comments and whoever wins gets $80 in flowers sent anywhere in the world. Sweet, no? I’m so frigging cheap that I have to enter contests to send my wife flowers

Here’s mine…

seven stinking chimps
flinging poo at each other
we work for google!

google is satan
deliver us from evil

Damn I suck. Post your Haikus in the comments if you dare. It’s OK if you make fun of mine because I damn sure am gonna make fun of your’s. They don’t even have to be about Google if you post them here, they could be about whatever you want.

Sort of a simple list of thirteen, but they are some of my favorite songs.

1. (We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock – Bill Haley and His Comets. A bit before my time but I love good old rock & roll.
2. 21st Century Schizoid Man – King Crimson – I love the first couple of albums that King Crimson put out with Greg Lake. Their other stuff is also pretty good but I started listening to Emerson, Lake & Palmer as a kid and he is one of my favorite vocalists of all time.
3. Baby Please Don’t Go – Willy and the Poor Boys. These Arms of Mine is actually ‘our song’ but this is one of my favorites off of the album.
4. Beverly Hills – Weezer. I don’t know what it is but I really like this song.
5. Blister in the Sun – Violent Femmes.
   
6. Bone Machine – The Pixies. I started listening to the Pixies just this past year and there isn’t much that they did that I don’t like.
7. Caught in a Dream – Alice Cooper. One of my all time favorite artists.
8. Go to Hell – Alice Cooper. This entire album just rocks.
9. Headhunter – Krokus. An anthem of sorts.
10. Hell’s Motel – MD45. The original version with Lee Ving (Fear) rather than the remaster that has Dave Mustaine doing all of the lyrics. The remaster was crap compared to the original.
11. House of the Rising Sun – The Animals
12. In the Evening – Led Zeppelin. Soon to be available on iTunes W00t!
13. Seven Nation Army – The White Stripes.

Nothing spectacular but I love music and each of these really entertains me.
