Why do I keep pretending I don't know you?

It's one of those things I don't I really set out to do. It's not that I'm trying to avoid you there's just so much going on I forget about you. (Like that makes it better) Truth is E-George I have Facebook and twitter and just so many other ways to keep in touch you've been cast to the wayside. Don't get me wrong, this is not a farewell post, it's an explanation nothing more. I'm not leaving and I'm not promising to try harder (but I will) I'm just checking in. Lets not be strangers.

Seattle’s Street Music Scene

Yesterday I went to Seattle to meet up with a friend, (we missed each other) so While I was downtown I started checking out some music

Seattle’s Street music scene has it all from Accordions to Washboards and even a Saw

By far the best I heard was Carly Calbero who had two self produced CDs for sell which I brought (not on i-Tunes yet but you can order them on Bandcamp) This song is Middle-age 13 on her CD “The Outlining”

A Little fun for Hump day

Total cuteness turns into total Flash Mob

I’ll never know ol’ Mother Hubbard

I did not grow up under the best of circumstances, A single mother raising two boys on welfare, working when she could but never quite making ends meet.

With that history and in these trying times I found myself needing to fall back on one lesson from my youth, my mother was famous for finding dinner in an empty cupboard. Last night I cooked up a nice dinner from forgotten ingredients, with enough for lunch and maybe dinner too. Great for the fact that I needed to find a way to make 30$ last all week.

So Thanks mom for teaching me to find something to cook in an empty cupboard

My Birds

I unexpectedly adopted a pair of Lovebirds today, this is the female. I'll take better pictures when I have better light, they didn't like the flash. With all of the changes they went through today who could blame them. Click here to see the male.

If only it could fly.

My obsession with the flying cars we were promised when I was a kid continues

It's Christmas time :)

Poor James and the Swamp Crows.

He never met a tax he didn't like.
He's got crazy friends like Rev. Wright.
He'd rather give away the farm than fight.
No merci beaucoup.
Obama, no merci beaucoup,
Obama, no merci beaucoup,
Obama, no merci beaucoup,
No merci beaucoup.
He thinks oil should be against the law.
He runs down America.
He's ashamed of his own Grandma.
No merci beaucoup.
Hey you good people that work all day,
he's got plans to dock your pay,
and let his unemployed voters go and ___ it away,
No merci beaucoup

Citizen of the world, go lead the UN then

Hey who taught you to bowl

Vacation Videos

You dropped a bomb on me, by the Gap Band.

The person who made this left a minute of black at the end, so when the music stops you can go on to something else, if you want.

Oh my God this woman is gorgeous and has great taste in music.

Puzzle

This was something I would sometimes update on my MySpace page but I decided to bring it here for you guys to enjoy. Plus I don't spend much time on MySpace anymore.

You will have to goto my GeoBent Blog to see the puzzle, it didn't work here (too wide).

 

PS: I try to make them a challenge, it's more fun that way

What I'm doing this weekend

The McChord Air Expo

It's Free!

As a thank you to the Puget Sound communities, which have given McChord tremendous and unwavering support, the Air Expo 2008 will be a world-class event. In addition to a number of civilian and military flying acts and numerous static displays, the show features the Air Force's world-renowned aerial demonstration team, the Thunderbirds.

At McChord Air Force Base. Photos and "hopefully" a video to follow.

Update: I have photos and a movie at my geobent blog.
And has always lots more photos at my Flickr site.
