Things Worth Mentioning

Ok, so I know that these two thing are already on my sidebar, but I wanted to draw attention to them. The first thing I'm going to mention is the "Must See Movies and TV Shows." I just want to say that Memoirs of a Geisha (pictured right) and Mrs. Henderson Presents (pictured left) are both rapidly becoming two of my favorite movies. I would recommend viewing Memoirs if you're in a stoic mood, Mrs. Henderson if you're wanting a good laugh. You can read more about them on my sidebar and if you're still interested, click on the pictures and they'll take you to a website that will have some more info.


Also, I have recently added a link under "Spectacular Sites." I have labled it "How To Make Money." It doesn't actually tell you how to make it, but it does take you to my grandfather's site (he's an investor). If you look around the site you will see just how well he is doing for his clients. The funds are some of the best in the nation and have been featured in such magazines as Barrons, and Smart Money. That's all I have for this post. Check out those two movies and www.jamesfunds.com when you get the time!

Who's Editing Our Music?

Hey y'all! Let me tell you a little story. The other day I was driving around in my car, listening to a well-known pop radio station here in the Dayton area (94.5), when I heard something intriguing. It was a song. Not just any song, mind you, a fairly vulgar one. As I listened I realized why I found it just so vulgar: it sounded as if no one had edited the song for radio play. Let me just show you what I mean. The chorus goes: "Shake that as* for me, shake that as* for me." Except the singer was actually SAYING the word on the RADIO station! Ok, ok, so someone just forgot to put in the edited version, right? I mean, everyone makes mistakes, but NO! The song went on to say, "I heard that you were freaky from a friend of mine" "He told me how you like it from _______" The word behind had been edited. So, no question the song had less than kosher material, but who in their right mind decided that as* isn't a cuss word and shouldn't be edited, but behind was! I don't know about you all but I've been using the word behind since I started talking, and according to this song, I've been cussing like a sailor. I guess I just should have been saying as*, since that is apparently appropriate. This strange word choice left me with only one question: WHO'S EDITING OUR MUSIC????

That Old Fire

For those of you who regularly check my blog, I appologize for the long delay between my last posting and this one. I have been busy. Thankfully, this week is my last week of school. I know, I know, it went really late, much to my dismay, but there's only one more week and then I'm home free. Until that point I thought I'd catch all of you up on what's been going on in my life.
Well, I'm riding again; I mean really riding. That's not to say I haven't been riding, it's just that I haven't been riding with this much intensity in a long time. My trainer, Carolyn Klum (aka Carolyn Nabb), has been working me hard. The first couple lessons she put me on a pony named Snickers, who's probably one of the most abliging ponies I've ever ridden. However, after that she decided to up the ante. I am now riding a very green ex-race horse named Silk. He's bay, beautiful, and an absolute handful. I've included a picture of our last riding lesson for those of you who are interested. Anyway, let me just say that I've got that old fire back for riding. It hasn't felt this good in over a year!
