Personal/About the Blog/Open Thread

For my friends in the west, I urge you to take a look at the moon after the sun has set (assuming your skies are clear somewhat). I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to the moon's orbit and phases, but if you see what I saw tonight, you should be pleasantly amused. The moon is giant here and it is only just a sliver. It might even been an eclipse? It is beautiful though. Is the moon supposed to be capitalized? Is it proper? It is just a moon, not the Moon, right?

I wanted to share 2 songs with you guys. I don't know how to embed audio so it will have to be YouTubed. They are like light rock, but the lyrics and performance is amazing. The band is called Imogen Heap. It is only one girl who also puts stuff out under the name Frou Frou. She is a musician's musician and a ton of her stuff is featured in soundtracks to films, tv, and commercials. So you may recognize her. The only things I can think of off hand is a song she did for Shrek. She redid Holding Out for a Hero, and it was amazing.

About the blog, I am very pleased with what is happening. I'm sure other people will contribute over time, but the more we personally grow with it, the better it will get. We had great posts this week. Then I muddied it up with the videos. I won't do that again unless I have the correct code to put the rest beyond the fold. If you ever come across that code, please shoot me an email. I feel guilty enough for posting these two videos, but they are well worth it. I tend to drift away from politics on the weekends. I'm sorry if that may have rubbed you the wrong way. I just wanted to share those videos with you guys and really, we need a break from politics every once and a while.

As for me, I am working on writing a substantial post on Swine Flu. You may have seen the draft sitting in our account. I've been working on obtainting a video which describes how viruses work (the H's and N's), comparing now with what happened with the last swine flu outbreak, a little avian flu, and the events of 1918. I am also concerned about the politics of the situation and will discus Tamiflu. I want everyone to be as informed as possible before it is time to consider the vaccine. In a perfect world I'd like to run my post by Rita (since she is an RN) before posting it. What do you think, honey? --Is that sexist by the way? I say hun a lot too. I don't have a sexist bone in my body, so please don't take offense at all. I'm just gay. --

What is going on with everyone? Please listen to these songs all the way thru. I almost guarantee you will LOVE them. You will at least love Hide and Seek, no question.



Ok, there is annoying screaming as an intro to this next song. Skip to 12 seconds and beauty will ensue.


I don't want to post another video. If you want to see Hide and Seek performed live click here.
