  • 20100320-Pimon Flies

    At 08:55am that morning, Pimon flew in front of the television. The show was tuned to KMTP (an arts channel). Ron Korb was playing Cuchulainn (from the Celtic Heartland album). I think Pimon either liked the song or wanted something else. He keeps looking in our direction as he slowly dies from emotional depression after being bitten very hard on the toes and wings by the golden goddess YeYo.

    Here is a Music Video from Ron Korb’s album Celtic Heartland. Filmed in Scotland and Canada. It sounds very soothing when I first heard the broadcast.

  • 20100328-Trying Theme

    Shalom! I’m trying a new theme here at WordPress.com:

    NotesIL by Jordan Lewinsky and Automattic

    Two Columns theme with different color schemes. Based on the original design of http://notes.co.il, built on top of the sandbox theme

    —

    PROs:

    • Time/date stamp. I’ve set my timezone `manually` to UTC -8 (or Pacific Standard Time) via Dashboard > Settings > General. The purpose is to keep the `true` noon-time sun. Also, this gives the readers an idea on the time when my beautiful mind came up with each blog entry.
    • Color selection. With a click of the button, there are 12 colors – brick red, black, royal blue, royal green, royal purple, dark gray, light blue, sea foam green, orange, periwinkle, olive green, and copper. I’m still playing around with the color scheme and noticed that the fonts change colors for certain color selction.
    • Auto width: When I zoom in (Ctrl + plus), the two-columns automatically fit the screen resolution.
    • CSS width: The `#container` width is 750px, which accommodates screen resolution set at 800 by 600 pixels.
    • Left sidebar: I like how the blog title, tagline and sidebar line up on the left side.
    • Tagline: Finally, a simple tagline appears under my blog title!
    • Big fonts: The fonts are 12px and `Arial, san-serif`, my favorites! It’s easier to read, too!
    • Background color: The background color for the content, sidebar and wrapper is one color – basic white! This makes reading less stressful on sensitive eyes.

    CONs:

    • The dark fonts for the tables against the darker `color selection` make reading the text impossible, except when highlighting the areas affected.
    • I couldn’t find a particular blue color selection, which is between blue and green. Never mind!

    Thanks, Jordon!

    Here is a YouTube.com that reminds me a song we used to play in our guitar class during high school. I remembered last night and added it as my Favorite.

  • 20100327-Yellow Bird

    I was listening to a YouTube.com video and found out it was a Haitian song. Then all of sudden I felt an earthquake a few seconds ago! I was actually swaying to the music as I see how beautiful the singers were while performing this favorite music.

  • 20100326-Stickiest Post

    On 03/21/2010, I tweaked my weblog again by adding a `Sticky Post`. The bottom of the YouTube video clears the top of the status bar of my internet browser window. I love it and will keep this `Sandbox Theme`.

    The inspiration came from my favorite `daily companion` from a religion site. The front page sported a brief 39 second video of the editor and how she encourages people to subscribe to read spiritual material.

    So it’s a YouTube.com video from my account. The video is seven seconds in length and show me shooting a military rifle at a local firing range. I don’t like this one because it’s too heavy and a scope is a cheat but helps ensure a good target. In real life, it’s just another big phallic symbol.

    I prefer a pea shooter the lowest caliber at .22. It’s lighter and more accurate but not powerful enough to do damage, which is fine because it’s all for fun and sports.

  • 20100323-Noticing Numbers

    At 07:11pm, I’ve added another YouTube.com as my Favorite:

    USAF and Paratroopers – [ Anthem of the Angels -Breaking Benjamin]

    There were already 633 views.

    I see double digits as eleven and thirty-three (AGAIN).

  • 20100323-Five Drawings

    Out of sheer friggin’ boredom from being UNDER and UNEMPLOYED, I’ve created five images of the numbers 9-1-1. Four were drawn by MS Paint and a mouse. The fifth drawing was done by merging to iStockphoto.com images. These were inspired by a thought a few days ago.

    Buy Obama’s HealthCare or else! It’s good for you, really! Try it now why you still can! Just don’t be surprised if you can’t get the best quality medical attention or if your premiums go up, too!

  • 20100316-Watching Shows

    Around 20:00pm tonight, we were watching television. I saw lots of nachos topped with pickles. Nachos drowned in aged cheddar cheese taste better, along with sour cream and guacamole. Maderno was the restaurant in which Lyndon B. Johnson was a patron.

    As a matter of fact and earlier this afternoon, Maw and I picked up two items from Carl’s Jr. for Paw’s snack. He was doing house chores.

    Natural-Cut French Fries – Large

    Premium-quality, skin-on, Natural Cut French Fries.

    Super Nachos – Ground Beef

    Seasoned ground beef with freshly prepared tortilla chips, refried beans, cheddar cheese sauce, guacamole, sour cream and fresh salsa.

    Later on, we watched `Live Free or Die Hard`, starring Bruce Willis. It’s an action film filled with the usual violence of blood and gore, where people get punched, fall to their deaths and die by bullets.

  • 20100313-Delicious Desserts

    After that evening mass, we went to Applebee’s and had a bowl of shrimp, steak, baby back ribs and a Reuben sandwich. For dessert and with gusto by mostly moi, we ate a:

    Triple Chocolate Meltdown®

    A magnificently moist chocolate cake topped with both dark and white chocolate. Its fudge-filled center will erupt upon first bite! Served with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge.

  • 20100311-Symphony Rocks

    Yesterday morning we heard `El Rushbeau` play Mozart’s Symphony in G minor. The version was performed by `Waldo de los Rios`:

    Waldo de los Ríos (7 September 1934 – 28 March 1977) was an Argentine composer, conductor and arranger.

    He is best-remembered for his ability to transform European classical music into pop music. His 1971 arrangement of Mozart‘s Symphony No. 40 recorded with the Manuel de Falla orchestra, reached the top spot in the Dutch charts and scored a top 10 hit in several other European countries. In 1970, prior to this success, Waldo de los Rios had already climbed the charts around Europe and America with Ludwig van Beethoven‘s Ode To Joy which he arranged and conducted for Miguel Rios.

    We loved the version so much that I went online this morning and right after breakfast. I found the two popular YouTube.com videos:

  • 20100308-Scaring Me

    On Monday, 03/08/2010, we watched the early morning speech and I saw anger in Obama’s darkening face as he hovered over the microphone, scowled at the camera ahead and pointed at the audience. Here is transcript taken from the subtitle of the YouTube.com video:
