2008- A Review of the Year in Pictures

When I saw this I had to check it out being a photo buff myself. It’s 2008 as seen through the eyes of a camera lens. There are 3 sections to look at and the pictures are just breathtaking. I don’t know if it’s possible to get the experience of a full year in a few photos,but this is a tremendously great attempt.

Me and Miss Gia

Hi Gang,

I hope everyone had a good holiday. I’ve been on vacation for the last ten days but tomorrow it’s back to the old grindstone. It went so fast but with all of the visiting and shopping I guess that’s why. I might need a vacation to recover from my vacation <LOL>

2009 is right around the corner so in case I don’t write soon I’ll talk to you next year!

Happy Holidays!

Well, tomorrow is Christmas Eve already. Can you believe it? It seemed so far away now it’s barreling upon us at full speed. I remember when I was a kid the excitement of the holidays and waking up on Christmas morning at 6am just to see what Santa had brought me. Somehow over the years that special feeling I had has escaped me. Yes, it’s still a special magical time but with my “to do” list now as an adult it tends to take the fun out of it. As a kid you just sit back and bask in the holiday lights, decorating of the tree and Mom’s Christmas cookies. But when you’re grown up everyone looks to you to do all of those things your Mom automatically took care of for you. Still, I miss that feeling and feel sad that it has left me.

We all tend to get so caught up in buying presents, wrapping them, and running off to parties and work that we hardly can slow down long enough to feel anything.

So, my Christmas wish for you is to stop what you’re doing right now, close your eyes and think back to a Christmas morning when you were a kid and feel that feeling again. If you can hold onto it, and put some of your “daily duties” behind you and try to enjoy the holidays again just like you were a kid. Maybe we can’t be kids again, but mentally we can always go back in time and lay down in the snow and make a beautiful snow angel anytime we want. Heck, run outside right now and make one, your neighbors might think you’re a bit strange but I can guarantee you’ll feel like you’re 10 all over again. Just don’t expect your Mom to have hot chocolate waiting for you when you return inside. This grown up stuff sucks!

“Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”

AdSense for Domains

AdSense Help Center Have a bunch of domain names laying around doing nothing? Well, why not use Google Adsense to make some money with them.

This option should appear in your Adsense account by Dec 18th. From Google themselves "With AdSense for domains, users can find relevant information rather than see empty pages or "page not found" errors."

I think it's a great idea and I've got a few domains myself that can take advantage of this new program. What do you think? Any thoughts? All comments are welcome.

This Dog Saves a Life

I saw this on the news the other night and at first couldn't believe my eyes. A camera installed on this highway catches footage of one dog being hit by a car and how another dog comes and drags him to safety. Simply amazing!

What really irritates me about the video is all of the idiots that are just driving by and no one does anything to help. Hello. There's an injured animal laying in the middle of the highway and you do nothing?? Stuff like this really infuriates me. I'd like to think that the majority of people on this planet would do something.

Anyway, next time you think dogs don't think or dogs don't have feelings you need to watch this video and think again. This dog definitely knew what he was doing and sprung right into action to help his friend. As humans this video is a sad testimony to what goes in in this world every day.
