Okay, I didn't have a poem on me to read at the debut of Dayton's new open mic last week, so I improvised.

Of all of these books, it's the first full sentence of page 32:

Well, apparently we're being heard by the heads of state here in Ohio.

The Governor's office sent down an announcement that they're "looking into it"

3100 phone calls yesterday alone. That's just phone calls. On an average Tuesday, they only recieve 150.

So the office is aware enough to issue press statements over the topic.

It's a start, but keep going folks:

it keeps kicking up, I start sweating, and things get hectic! I hope it breaks today, I'll be taking the second full day of antibiodics here in a bit. But I'm wondering how much of this is also the blood pressure meds?

At the end of every quarter at the College Radio Station, I would do a 5 hour shift on nothing but Vinyl. It was a blast, alot of work, and it's time to relive that just a bit.

So here's a few of the best of the rest of the hits of yesterday fellow babies! So kick back, turn the speakers up real loud, and say: "Give it to me straight Doctor...I can take it!"

( 45 RPM baby )

First off...Holy Crap, I finally figured out how to use the LJ cuts! Apparently, I've been leaving off that ending code, go figure.

So if you had an N.E.S. growing up (not many I know didn't) you probably played (or owned) Mike Tyson's Punch Out (later changed to just Punch Out after Tyson went to prison).

Well, looking to bring another AAA title to the Wii, Nintendo has revived this great old game. Now, make no mistake, this isn't a boxing game. It's more along the lines of a timing/puzzle game wrapped around boxing. That's the way Punch Out has always been. But all in all...it's a great game. I've heard most people complaining about a lacking in the depth of character selection from previous games, one new character (and a surprise), and no online play.

Seriously...does EVERY freakin' game have to support online play?! Remember when we were kids and had to either hope your friend had the system and the game or just the system to take with you and play with a friend? It's insane that every game HAS to have an online mode or else it's automatically dismissed?!

But the game itself is extremely solid, the presentation is great, and the Wii motions even work well (if it's not your style, flip the Wiimote on it's side and play old school!)

here's a vid that reviews it a little better than I can...but it's a winner folks! Little Mac is BACK!

The rain is bitch slapping us here in Dayton this morning.

A semi has jackknived (not sure on the spelling) around the construction area of NB 75 shutting down the entire highway...did I mention the ruptured fuel tanks spreading Disel across the entire road?

Another one on 675!

Thank God my meeting was cancelled at Miami Jacobs today and I slept a full night last night! It's gonna be a long day!

I was going to do another Video showcase, but I ran across this vid of a very young Sammy Davis Jr. So I thought I'd share young stars:

Sammy:



a young piano player named Harry


Wow, remember before she went pop, and could sing!


Little Stevie:



how'd this get in there?!

I caught the late-night showing last night with a full theater of my fellow brothers and sisters of the horn-rimmed nation.

wow...just wow. Granted, it wouldn't take much to wow us as Trek fans because there hasn't been anything good on the big screen for quite some time. But this was legitimately good. The writing seemed solid, the storyline was interesting, and I think (hope) it'll open up a whole new segment of the public to this type of story and these characters.

The effects were spot-on (but after Wolverine..."I'm a Marvel, I'm a DC" looked good) and didn't let me down at all.

The actors were all interesting choices...but I believed it. Major kudos goes to the actor playing Bones!

The jokes were there and if you're an old Trekkie...you'll love it! If you're a new Trekkie...you'll get it.

But overall, it was a damn good movie! I'm really having a hard time finding something wrong with this flick...

My new digital finally came in the mail yesterday.  The funny thing was that the camera itself is the size of a standard sized note card.  The blister pack it came in was three time the size of the camera.  The box it came in was ginormous in comparison.  We all had a good laugh!

I'll try to cut this one, but sometimes it just doesn't work...

( Cat Post! )And we start off with Selina:

and this is (drumroll please) Izzy Tatsu!

and another izzy:

too many pictures and not enough petting:

Hey Dad...whatcha got there?!: 

Our I-T guy here at Wilberforce just walked in and happily announced "Happy Star Wars Day!"

"How is it Star Wars Day?" I asked, cringing at the response.

"May the Fourth be with you."

These are who I work with...I don't know whether to be happy or scared!

Well folks...it's May. One of my favorite months of the year. Why? Because these open up again all over the country:



know the rules:


CORN DOGS!!!


Always avoid the car with that "smoke" coming out:


The "real" italian way


Drive-Ins open THIS month! There will be at LEAST one planned trip (other than me just going)

This just came across the wires: There has been a confirmed death from Swine Flu in the United States. It was a 23 month old in Texas.

Prepare for hysteria...the media will be pushing for it and throwing in your faces as hard as we can throw!!
