My Fav Youtube Videos

I can't let foolhardiness die... this blog will continue strong (somehow I am re-motivated to blog). Here are the youtube videos that I have favorited:

too many wants, not enough greenbacks

There are many things I am currently looking at getting, but I need to prioritize. This blog entry is more for myself than anyone else.

1. My pickup is missing two wheel caps and I found a better deal than the Chevrolet dealer in town.($35/ea.)
   
2. I also would like to get a cradle to attach to my rack to protect my kayak better. ($120 for either set)
3. Either $500 to have a spray-in liner put into my pickup bed or a $100 for a kit to do it myself (a lot of work though).
4. $950 for another kayak
   

I also would like to get myself a 42" LCD TV but I have a CD that I have called my new TV fund that is going to mature in 6 months (though I have rolled it over twice already).

I don't think the government should be handing out these refunds but I am not about to send mine back either. Instead of sticking in the bank for my ever dropping interest rates maybe I'll put it towards some of these items!

Now this could be interesting...

I have my canary...

I haven't been blogging much lately because I haven't had much to share with the online community. But before I share anything today, I first need to explain yesterday's post.

My friend, Cutler, met Julia through eHarmony this last fall (I think) and they are now engaged. This is the best advertising for eHarmony; now those that know either Cutler or Julia have an proof that it can succeed. That is why I decided to join eHarmony a couple of weeks ago. I have already found a couple of young women that I am interested in and have began to send emails through eHarmony. Will I have the same luck as Cutler? Time will tell, but it is easier than trying to figure out who is single in the bars! (well assuming everyone is honest on eHarmony, but I'd imagine the cost minimizes falsehoods)

Time to "get re-psyched"

I really need to get re-psyched about blogging. So a week or two ago, I did something I have not done since before college (maybe even high school). I went exploring much like my wanderings in Yakima. I chose the hill behind my apartment, the public library, and the YMCA.



As you can see the Cultural Heritage Center is built into the hillside! I've always been very impressed with this structure.

Also, I was finally took the time to change a few lyrics to the Big and Rich song Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy:

(Intro)
DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAAAAA
DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAAAA!

Well, I walk into the room
Passing out Spanish pieces of eight
And it kills and it thrills like the masthead on my Sloop bow
And I buy the bar a double round of rum
And everybody's getting down
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same.

(Chorus:)
Cause I batten down my hatches
And I sail into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Paddling ashore
In my old kayak Leroy
And the girls say
Save a boat, Sail a pirate.
Everybody says
Save a boat, Sail a pirate

Well I don't give a dang about nothing
I'm singing and Bling- Blanging
While the girls are drinking
Long necks down!
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy
Or my Sloop for your Escalade
Or your freak parade
I'm the only Blackbeard left in this town

(Chorus:)

(Spoken:)
I'm a frigate
That's what she said
In the bottom of my sloop hold
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
Out on some empty blue sea.
We where flying high
Fine as wine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
But her evaluation
Of my pirate reputation
Had me begging for salvation
All night long
So I took her out giggin frogs
Introduced her to my old island parrot
And sang her every Bilge Pump song I could think of

And we made love
(Chorus:)

What? What?
Save A Boat Sail A Pirate
Everybody says
Save a Boat Sail a Pirate.

A friend told me, "You sir have earned a place in the Club of Awesome Parodiers, wherever they are."

I replied, "So, Weird Al's basement?" Cletus T Judd might be a better fit ;)
