I come across some pretty off the whole stuff rummaging through boxes. In my family we tend to pass things around to each other, take what you need or want and then pass it along. With every one pinching pennies these days, it all adds up! Anyway I some how managed to find a box in the back of my car last week, couldn’t tell you where it came from, but I took the time to look at the items that were thrown in there, pulled a few things out and will stick it back in my car to pass along to the next friend, co worker or family member that I run into that may have a use for some or all of the stuff left in it.

I found a stack of paper napkins with the following statement embossed on them.

To Be A Virginian, either by Birth, Marriage, Adoption, or even on one’s Mother’s side, is an introduction to any State in The Union, a Passport to any Foreign Country, and a Benediction from Above.

Since I was born in Virginia I’ve become used to seeing the famous “Virginia Is For Lovers” but I’ve never read or heard of this saying. I think it’s pretty cool and am going to pin on my bulletin board with all the other notes and mementoes that have gathered there for so long.

There are so many shows on the TV these days that are making a killing on Video taping. Of course America’s Funniest Videos has been around the longest, if you don’t want to count “Candid Camera” but now these video programmers are specializing their features. Like there a few on The Animal Planet that pertain to funny pet/animal videos, True TV has many that are about the bizarre and dangerous ones. There there are the cop and robbers ones that come on late at night, alot of which is captured on the camera installed in most police cars these days. And there are plenty more out there to be enjoyed that I haven’t named off here.

It just amazes me how much is caught on some time of video these days. Big brother has arrived and big time wouldn’t you agree?

A headline story on Yahoo news claims to have “the truth about red cars.” So I was curious and read the article. It says that red cars are popular because the color red portrays power. But I say that the color red also means passion and it means high risk.

The article says that the most popular car color in the United States is white. The second most popular color is silver. The least popular colors include orange, purple, pink and green.

I think the popular colors of cars also depend upon where you live. I know that in the desert states, the hot southwestern and the hot southern states all make driving a dark colored car very uncomfortable. So it would be natural to choose a white or silver colored car in those states. In the colder northern states, the color black is both practical and popular.

While I was searching around videos at Yahoo music formerly Yahoo Launchcast i saw that Yahoo is allowing people to embedd the music videos which is awesome because YouTube recently made it impossible to embed music videos from most of the major artists.

It is nice to be able to have my favorite music videos right here on my blog so anytime I want to blog I can also listen to my favorite music and you the reader can also enjoy my favorite tunes!

Alright people I finally got everything in my life back to normal again so that I have some free time to blog about all the great things that have happened over the last couple of weeks. First is I just got back from taking a 2 week vacation to Jamaica and I can tell you that it was probably the best time of my life. Second is we got a new boxer puppy dog and he has been a ton of fun to have around the house. Third I went ahead and traded in my old car for a brand new Corvette and I have been having a ball driving it around everywhere I can possibly go.

So whats happening with you and what do you have planned this week, month or year? I am thinking of starting a social media account probably at Facebook this week and planning another vacation this month and moving to another city this year!
