What is in your home tool kit?

April 30th, 2007 by James

Just like most other people, I have been doing small projects around the house. I have been running into trouble because we have a three story house and tools can sometime end up anywhere in this house, and most of the time it is exactly the tool I need. I have been working on getting a tool box together and I ran across this video at Popular Mechanics

Sanjaya is finally gone!!!!!

April 18th, 2007 by James

I can not say enough about what happened tonight. There must have a telephone troubles last night or all of the 8-12 year old girls had used up all of their text messages and could not vote for Sanjaya. But whatever the reason, it was a good one, he is gone.

This was a video from the idiot that started all of this non-sense in the first place on Late Night with David Letterman.

Blogs keep ‘Idol’s’ Sanjaya center stage – CNN.com

Blogs keep ‘Idol’s’ Sanjaya center stage – CNN.com

I do not intend for this to become a “Anti-Sanjaya” blog, but I ran across this other article about this idiot, and found the last paragraph to be of particular interest.

The result, thus far, is that Sanjaya has kept his spot on the show despite serious flack from the judges. Simon Cowell told “Extra” he would quit the show if Sanjaya won and Randy Jackson called one of his performances “unlistenable.”…”

Sanjaya Malakar is Today’s Girl on Maxim

April 18th, 2007 by James

This is hilarious!!!! What an idiot! He is completely oblivious to the fact that he is a terrible entertainer and the only reason he is there from week to week is that people are making fun of him. Thanks a lot Howard Stern. Good people are not getting votes and this jackass stays every week!

American Idol to sue Howard Stern?

April 5th, 2007 by James

An interesting video clip from The O’Reilly Factor, about a lawyer that wants to consider legal action against Howard Stern and Votefortheworst.com. She claims that they are illegally influencing the show and more over the contestants, because they are calling for people to vote for Sanjaya Malakar. He is clearly the worst performer and lives in dream world. The premise is that good contestants are being kicked off, because Sanjaya Malakar is receiving so many votes and Howard Stern and others are mocking the show.

What do you think?

Mess Cary High 1987

April 3rd, 2007 by James

James received an email today from one of his classmates from high school, and was told that this classmate had posted some video footage for their old high school days on YouTube. To James’ amusement/horror, he discovered that there was surviving footage for the Mess Cary High Pageant 1987 that he was entered in. Luckily, as James proclaims very loudly mind you, he did NOT win! So much for everyones 15 minutes ;-)

Here is the video for your enjoyment!
