I’m really not feeling Halloween this year, and I honestly can’t explain why. It might have something to do with the fact that I absolutely hate the fall, and when the weather is as bad as it has been here in Maine it makes the whole experience even worse for me. Don’t get me wrong, I am looking forward to taking the little man and not-so-little girl out for some trick-or-treating, I’m just not in the spirit of the holiday like I have been in years past.
Oh well… there’s still Christmas. Why the hell am I thinking about that so early? Whatever… enjoy this crazy goat video I found.
Sarah Palin — like the good little parrot that she is — has been purporting John McCain’s accusations that Barack is a Socialist-in-the-making ever since the last presidential debate. With her wardrobe costs, and the following breaking news that I present to you with the commentary of the great Keith Olbermann, she is proving that she is a complete hypocrite. We need to curb needless spending… riiiiiiight, consider that before you go on New York spending sprees with your children (all flown there on Alaska’s dime). Barack Obama wants to spread the wealth like a Socialist… well, before you start pointing the finger, consider your own agendas as the Governor of Alaska prior to your rise to whatever it is the GOP considers you to be at the moment.
One last thing: Fuck Joe the Plumber. Yeah, I said it… not necessarily because of the way McCain has exploited him to serve his own warped purpose (though you can imagine how I feel about that), but rather because of the way he has made himself out to be an informed voter who genuinely cares about which candidate is sworn into office in January. What does he really care about? Talk to the lawyers that are negotiating a “Joe the Plumber” book deal as we speak. What, if anything, could that offer in the form of an intelligent read? Joe, you are a media whore.
Remember that cheesy video for “Take on Me” by A-Ha (just one in a long line of clever 80’s band names)? Yes? Then you can join Dina and I in our support group every Tuesday night. No? Then forget everything I just wrote. There is no such thing as a “Take on Me” music video.
…This is how that song should have gone along with that ridiculous video. For those of you reluctant to subject yourself to this crap again, I’ll have you know that only the video is the same, the lyrics have been changed completely so that its producers can effectively show you the funny

Okay… what the hell (no pun intended) is this… and who would let their children watch it? This is one of the most brilliant and disturbing things I’ve seen in quite some time.
On October 11th, 2008 my mother, Melanie, and her fiance, Rainey finally tied the knot. Congratulations you two! I hope that you live out the rest of your lives together hopelessly consumed by love for one another.
In celebration I’m putting up more pictures in a single post than I ever have. We made some great memories at the wedding service and the reception that followed, and it seems only right to commemorate that here. Also, inspired by this particular post, I have included a new category titled “Family Pictures and Events,” which, as the name suggests, is geared strictly toward my family. If you are interested in looking at the pics I’ve posted here in previous entries (dating all the way back to the conception of this site, over three years ago… how time flies), it’s now as easy as clicking on that category (or right here if you’re lazy).
To those not savvy to the idea of “cutting” a post, just click on the “Read More” link at the bottom of the pictures for… more pictures.
