Rocking Out 2008: Beverly Hills

Were I to use a single word to describe my friend James Brown, "introvert" would not be the word. James wanted to sing this one, and he decided that it would be best to scream it at the top of his lungs "really hardcore". After seeing the video, I'd say "Mission Accomplished." So here is yet another Weezer song. "Beverly Hills"

Hope you all had a great 2008. Let's hope 2009 is every bit as wonderful!

It's Nacho Cat: Last Thing You'll See

If you are a mouse in my house, this is the last thing you'll ever see.

The Best Ending Of Any TV Show Ever

For Christmas, my grandfather got me a Bing Crosby CD, which I'm excited about. Bing Crosby stuff is just so positive. In Rose Bud, I always listened to Bing Crosby or Louis Armstrong while preparing my sermons. I love to try and sing along with it. The CD he got me is one of Crosby's Irish songs. One of which I had heard before, as a different version, not by Bing, at the end of an episode of Space Ghost.

Here is the ending of that episode, which is in my opinion, truly classic. I present to you "Dear Old Donegal". Especially note the credits.

Pick The Tree: Contest Results

It pains me to post this, but the votes are in, and the contest is over. Even though at a Christmas party, the judges selected me as the better Christmas tree, the people on my blog have spoken. After 95 votes, the score is 46 (me) to 49 (Carolina). I'd like to think that's still within the margin of error, but Carolina has been chosen as the winner.

Many thanks to all 95 of you for stopping by and sharing your opinion. Too bad it wasn't me. I guess I'll have to buy her dinner or something. haha

Merry Christmas from the Adams Family

It's Nacho Cat: Meowy Christmas

Most people like Christmas trees because they enjoy looking at them, and they make a convenient place to keep gifts.

Nacho likes Christmas trees because she enjoys playing with the ornaments, and they make a convenient place to take naps and groom yourself.

It's Nacho Cat: Tree Decorating

While Carolina and I decorated the tree, Nacho found some things to explore.

It's Nacho Cat: Balanced

No matter how many times I see her walk on top of fence posts, I will never stop being amazed at how cats can be such natural acrobats. This is one of her favorite ways to pester the next door neighbor's dogs. It isn't my fence she's walking on there!

Rocking Out 2008: Sweet Home Alabama

This is a video of us performing at the show. It was a dress up function, and we decided to go as "The Black Eyed P's" Nyuck Nyuck. It was in a very dark gym, so unfortunately those on the other side of the stage are not visible at all. I thought this one turned out particularly well.

VOTE! Who Is The Best Christmas Tree?

We just had a Christmas party with the young professionals at church, and at the party, there was a competition. Somehow Carolina and I both ended up on different teams, and both of us ended up being "Team Captain". The competition was that each team had 10 minutes to decorate a person as a Christmas Tree. According to the judges, I was the winner.

But Carolina insists that she was robbed. So please take a look at these pictures and vote: Who is the better Christmas Tree? Me or Carolina?

Highlights:
- Carolina has more stuff on her
- She has a halo, and multiple garlands
- Mark has a fancy star on top, and a colorful chain
