I saw this video online and had to share it. Steven Colbert got more press from this event due to his horrible whack at humor later in the evening, but the President should have gotten more recognition for his and Steve Bridges’ speech.

Meebo
Wow. I thought I had seen everything.
Meebo is a site that allows you to log into several instant messenging clients at the same time using your browser. I’ve got to say I’m pretty impressed with the capabilities there.
Watch TV Online (Free & Legal)
Go to THIS SITE to watch last night’s episode of Lost with only 4 commercials if you have a broadband Internet connection. I missed the first few minutes of it myself, and just caught up on what I missed. You can also check out Alias, Desperate Housewives, and Commander in Chief. If only the other networks could take this model and duplicate it…
Second Job
Along with the new house comes a second job. I’ve had it for about 2 months now, but I just started it today. Christle and I are cleaning my parents church for some extra money. It’s kinda weird, because Christle’s been cleaning our church for free for so many years. I got to listen to my iPod while I was cleaning, and it was really not that bad. I’ve been going non-stop for the past few days and I was kinda hoping for a break. I think I’ve got a little one coming this weekend, if only for half a day.
Hey Mom!
Happy Birthday!!!
Finally Moved
for the most part, anyway…
We’ve moved most of our stuff into the house, and we’ve got boxes everywhere. The only rooms that look close to done are the kitchen (gotta have access to the food), bathroom (that too), and of course, my office.
It took us a few hours just to get my desk into the house, but it was worth it, because it looks great in my office. I’m glad we moved most of the stuff on Friday, because Saturday was a horrible day for moving. I haven’t seen rain that hard since Rita. I did get the lawn mowed before the rain came down too hard, though.
I’m looking forward to being able to work closer to home because the drive to and from work everyday would eventually get to me. I’m going to the new location in Beaumont on Wednesday, and from what I understand, they have some work backed up for me, so I could be there consistently for a short period of time.
I went jogging tonight because I haven’t been in over two weeks. The track here is cool because it is more round than elongated, so it seems like the track is shorter, even though it apparently is not. It looks like they wanted more sidline space between the field and the track so they just widened it to make the arcs longer and the straight parts shorter.
I had the misfortune of talking about politics at work today. Just yesterday, Christle and I were talking about the definition of prudence (discretion in practical affairs, or knowing when to keep your mouth shut to avoid embarrassment or distress). Take the advice I did not use, and just keep politics and religious talk out of the workplace. Doing so will make life so much less stressful. I guess there is room for bending that rule, but it should only be when asked outright for advice, or if you’ve known the person (or people) for more than 5 to 10 years.
The conversation ended smoothly, and I don’t think any feelings were hurt, but it was just one of the most awkward conversations I’ve ever had at work. I think I’ll remember to just make my way out of those conversations from now on.
Finally Moving
I’m shutting down my computer to let it cool down before we start moving tomorrow. I’m really excited about getting out there. We’re going to have bare essentials tomorrow night, but we’ll be moving everything else on Friday.
You’ve Got To Love Drunks
I got this in an email and had to post something funny
A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o’clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door…….. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
“Not a chance,” says the husband, “It is three o’clock in the morning.” He slams the door and returns to bed.
“Who was that?” asked his wife.
“Just some drunken guy asking for a push,” he answered.
“Did you help him?” she asked.
“No. I did not. It is three o’clock in the morning and it is pouring rain outside!!”
His wife said, “Can’t you remember about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!”
The man did as he is told (of course!), got dressed and went out into the pouring rain. He called out into the dark, “Hello! Are you still there?”
“Yes,” came back the answer.
“Do you still need a push?” called out the husband.
“Yes, please!” replied the drunken man from the wet darkness.
“Where are you?” asks the husband.
“Over here on the swing!”
MySpace is Good?!
With all of the negative press that MySpace gets, I thought this article needed to be spread around. These stupid punks actually posted their plans on MySpace and surprisingly enough, someone had the brains to report it.
