"We had a swim call in the Gulf of Thailand on deployment and an F-18 from the Abe Lincoln flew right over us."

Catch A Rising Star
Hey there,
A little while back when I was on a YouTube kick I found some video's of a kid who I just think has so much talent.
So please, let me direct your attention to the following:
Catch A Rising Star
His latest video, "Empty Tables" is sooo good. Catch a rising star, if you please.
Enjoy.

3 Days Already?
Has it really been 3 days since my last post here?
Hmmm... I'm not really sure if I have anything to write about at the present time but I thought I should at least send out something.
I can say that I has a really sore throat this morning.
Hopefully, I won't get too sick... but I think that I might. *sigh*
Sorry folks, I'm a little foggy this morning.
Maybe, I'll try to post something later on today.
For now, All the best...

Glenn Beck's Interview of Billy Ray Cyrus
Just finished watching Glenn Beck interview Billy Ray Cyrus.
Ya know, I really didn't know too much about Billy Ray. I knew he was from Kentucky and that his father was a legislator here in the Commonwealth. And of course, I knew about his Achy Breaky Heart.
But, I really had no idea what he was like. The interview, I found to be quite entertaining and I have a new found respect for Billy Ray.
I didn't know what all he had to go through to make his way in the music business. His story, is probably a lot like many others who had gone before him to sing on a stage or pick a guitar. That was interesting to hear about.
What I liked about him is his positive attitude. He spoke of or about some powerfully motivating sayings and I'll try to quote him as best I can, well, let's just say I'll paraphrase and hopefully I won't lose any meaning:
"Can't ain't never done nothing."
And a reference to the scriptures. "In every adversity there is a seed to something better."
I may use them for one of my header sayings some day.
*smile*

The Moon: Eclipsed
8-28-2007
.
Last week, I stayed up for the Lunar Eclipse. Almost ended up forgetting about it as I was busy blogging and we all know how one can get absorbed in their blogging.
All the sudden, it struck me, Yikes! The Moon!! So I tossed my laptop aside (well, I didn't really toss it) jumped up and ran to get my camera... but I had forgotten something else. Went to turn the camera on... Shoot... the battery was completely drained. So I gave it a quick charge.
Grabbed the tripod while the battery was plugged into the wall and attached my battery-less Panasonic FZ-50. Looked at the moon and thought oh darn I think missed it... but nope, as it was partially transcended, I was still in time to capture the celestial event.
Back into the house I went... snatched the battery off the wall and popped it into camera. Turned it on... not much of a charge, but it would have to do. Ran outside... In my camera lens, I lined up the lunar event and managed to capture a few shots.
I wish I had been more prepared. They aren't as good as I hoped but I got some I liked. But, I guess, it's the best I coulda hoped for, everything considered.
The pics are untouched. I plan on working on a couple of them a little. I might replace or add them later.
Hope you like them as is for now.

RUSH
Me and my friend R, just got back from the RUSH concert at the Riverbend Pavillion.
Awesome show!!
They rocked the Ohio River bank from about 8pm to 9pm, took about a 25 minute break and then returned to the stage and played all the way up to 10:56pm. Two and half hours of masterful musicianship... Wow!
They were pretty tight and sounded so good. Amazingly professional performers, they played lots of their old hits along with some stuff off their newest musical effort, Snakes and Arrows.
Now, I gotta admit, I was not at all familiar with their new CD but from what I heard at the show, it sounds like it's a pretty good CD.
It was a very nice night with comfortable temperatures and a beautiful sky. And the music played as the sunset over the hills of Kentucky just across the river. When Venus appeared in the sky and the stars came out; there were then stars all around, both on stage and skyward as well.
A nice night indeed.
Oh... and P.S. We went to O'Charleys before the show. My first time to go there... It was good... and I had the best Onion Rings I've ever had in my life! hehe

The Five Factor Personality Test
...Seems fairly accurate...
The Five Factor Personality Test
Extroversion:
You have low extroversion. You are quiet and reserved in most social situations. A low key, laid back lifestyle is important to you. You tend to bond slowly, over time, with one or two people.
Conscientiousness:
You have medium conscientiousness. You're generally good at balancing work and play. When you need to buckle down, you can usually get tasks done. But you've been known to goof off when you know you can get away with it. *uh huh*
*although, I rate my conscientiousness a bit higher*
Agreeableness:
You have high agreeableness. You are easy to get along with, and you value harmony highly. Helpful and generous, you are willing to compromise with almost anyone. You give people the benefit of the doubt and don't mind giving someone a second chance. *Absolutely*
Neuroticism:
You have high neuroticism. It's easy for you to feel shaken, worried, or depressed. You often worry, and your worries prevent you from living life fully. You tend to be emotionally reactive and moody. You are either flying very high or feeling very low.
*Google's phone number of nearest Pyschologist*
Openness to experience:
Your openness to new experiences is medium. You are generally broad minded when it come to new things. But if something crosses a moral line, there's no way you'll approve of it. You are suspicious of anything too wacky, though you do still consider creativity a virtue.
*a little wackiness is always welcome*
