It's been a while, but as promised, I'm back with a vengeance, and today that vengeance takes the form of 10 wickedly awesome things for you to think about. It's Memorial Day, which means the return of summer, the Lake House, BBQs and hot party tracks from rappers who will be gone by next Memorial Day.
So wherever you happen to go this weekend, I'll be sitting back and having a cocktail or three for you. Cheers, and remember to use warm water before shaving.
1) Well, we never claimed the government was good at keeping records, and now they proved it. Apparently, a 2TB hard drive containing personal information from the Clinton Era has gone missing at the National Archives. Wonder if Lewinsky's number was on there...
2) Immigration and both the benefits and strains it brings to our economy are always hot topics. I was surprised to find this article about a school in Texas where 70% of the student body commutes daily from Mexico.
3) I wish they had this when I was a kid! Now Lego is putting out Frank Lloyd Wright sets. For the 6 year old future architect in your home...
4) If the rumors are true, a new iPhone could come to market in July. With some of these reported features, it might be time for me to think about upgrading...
5) Always kinda shocking to me when former athletes sink to horrendous lows following the end of their career. Ryan Leaf's career as a football player wasn't all that solid, but still sad that he's being charged with burglary of a controlled substance...
6) In anticipation of the Lake House this weekend, it's time to revisit a few of the past visits. Check out this one, this one, and this one.
7) You don't want to see Jack Bauer mad. Or, for that matter, Kiefer Sutherland. Apparently his alter-ego has gone a bit to his head, like a few weeks ago when he head-butted someone at a gathering...
8) Sad to think that even on a show I don't care about, American Idol, the outcome might have been changed by one of the contestant's sexuality. Sad if true, America.
9) The speculation about the King of Pop's return to the stage has started anew with the announcement that the start of the tour will be pushed back 5 days. He hides his face in a mask to the media, but is going to do 50 live shows? Interesting.
10) I always like to see the citizens fighting back. This time, it's music consumers who are bringing a counter suit against the RIAA asking for all the money they've collected to be returned. Just go buy your music and support the artists folks, then you won't have to deal with the RIAA.
That's it for me folks...time to get the May iPod update in order so I can have fresh tunes at the Lake this weekend. Enjoy the sunshine!
