Woooooooooo lawd cheezus. President Sexy Chocolate Cinnamon.
THIS merits coming out of blog hiatus.
Step up ya game, fellas. LOL
Should I?
Thinking about resurrecting this blog. I’ve gotten so distracted and… disinterested. But so much has happened that I don’t want to forget. Hmm.
Remembering Matthew Horning, 7 years later
Today I remember Matthew Horning.
Seven years ago this morning, Matthew was beginning his day at work in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. He never made it home.
Two years ago I joined an effort called the 2,996 Project to honor and remember those killed on 9/11. I was randomly assigned to pay tribute to Matthew. Since that time, I’ve made contact with some of Matthew’s family and friends. I’m so proud to do my small part to keep his memory alive.
This morning at work, I put a picture of Matthew up on the board outside my office door with a small note of remembrance. Living in Tennessee, most of the people I know never met anyone directly involved with 9/11. My hope is that this small gesture will be a point of connection. Matthew was a real person - someone who loved, hoped, dreamed, laughed, cheered, argued, believed, worked, and loved some more. There is a huge Matthew-shaped hole in many people’s hearts that will never be filled.
I never met him, but I will remember him every September 11th, and many days in between.
Happy Birthday, Barack!
Happy 47th birthday, Senator. Let’s celebrate next year in the White House. 
My “friend” Barack! Heck yes!
Shia Goldblum?
Is it just me, or does this guy look like the bizarre love child of Jeff Goldblum and Shia LaBeouf?
Barack’s private prayer
Apparently some student stole Barack’s prayer from the cracks of the Western Wall and sent it to a newspaper. While I think it’s deplorable that someone violated his privacy like that, I must say that his prayer brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I might put it up on my bathroom mirror as a daily reminder.
“Lord, protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will.”
Amen.
John McCain is a hater.
I got an email this morning from some fellow Obama folks about the new videos on McCain’s web site. Bless his heart, he just discovered the interwebz apparently, and is trying desperately to be “hip.” Here’s his super-clever, hilarious, creative, cutting-edge offering: *eye roll*
Basically, here’s the gist:
“Everybody loves Barack and it’s not fair! Whaaaaaa! Boo hoooo! Nobody thinks I’m as cool/smart/good looking/interesting as he is. *stomp stomp* Hey everybody, I’m running for President too! Hey guys! Look at me! I’m clever. Really, I am. I know my own party doesn’t even really like me, but it’s not fair that THE MEDIA is in love with Barack. *whimper* Heh heh.”
News flash, Senator. The media (and people in general) pay attention to Barack because he has worthwhile, interesting things to say. He is intriguing, charismatic, and knows the difference between Iraq and Iran. He also knows that Czechoslovakia doesn’t exist anymore. Not to get all policy-y on you, but he also knows that offshore drilling won’t lower gas prices, and that the surge wasn’t the only thing that helped quell recent violence. (Oh yeah, and Senator, before you go accusing your opponent of not knowing foreign policy, get your timeline straight about the “Sunni Awakening.” You’re either a liar or senile. Either one is bad.)
Bottom line is John’s a hater. Rather than complaining about the big bad biased media, why don’t you step up your game a bit, sir?
Never underestimate a geek.
This is funny. DMX ain’t got nothin’ on this dude. THIS right here is GANGSTA. LOL
(07-15) 19:12 PDT SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco computer engineer charged with masterminding a cyber-coup of the city’s network is being paid as he sits in jail, refusing to allow other administrators to get into the system that controls e-mails, law enforcement records and payroll documents, authorities said Tuesday.
Terry Childs, 43, of Pittsburg, who earns a six-figure salary with the city Technology Department, appeared in court Tuesday on four felony counts of computer tampering before being returned to his jail cell. He is being held in lieu of $5 million bail, an amount his lawyer called “crazy.”
Cutie pie.
I know I haven’t posted in forever, but to make it up to you, here’s a beautiful doggy.
