Watrermelon In Easter Hay

March 20, 2009


Was introduced to this song many moons ago by Pappa Joe and for some reason it has been playing through my mind these past few days. Not too sure why but it just seems to encapsulate how I am feeling right now. Thanks Joe and thanks Frank…

p.s. - Was hoping for a better version of the song on video but could not find it anywhere!

How Deep is Your Love

January 8, 2009


I have had this damn song in my head for the past three days! I have no idea why it is in my brain for this long and do not know how to get rid of it; therefore, I inflict it upon you to either help me find a way to cope or to just pass my torment on to you. Enjoy!

Here’s a great little tune to help pick up those spirits - god knows I need it right now!!

I’m So Tired

Zero sleep Friday night, 2 hours on Saturday night; 2 five hour ice slots fully played within a 16 hour span. Yes folks, this is exactly how I feel right now…

Time to Pretend

Now, you are all going to have to forgive me here a little. Since I live in China and do not get to hear all the new, hip tunes on the airwaves I seemed to have missed this little gem of a song. I first heard it on my JAL flight coming home (somewhere over Midway Islands) and was really pumped. Once at home I then researched this song and realized it has already come and gone as the new blockbuster explosion on the pop-culture scene in North America. Either way, I think it is a great song and easily makes this week’s Song of the Week (even if I am a year or two late!)

Do you have the Thursday, end of May blues? Well, there is only one thing to remedy that: Karaoke! Yes folks, grab yourself a nice cold cocktail, loosen up that collar and sing as loud as you can. Nothing (and I mean nothing) cures your woes like a good old fashioned karaoke tune. Enjoy!

I have always been a big fan of Beck, and here is one of his classic songs to get you through the rest of the week…enjoy!

Coward of the County

March 11, 2008


I am not sure exactly how it happened, but the other day while flipping through Youtube I got sidetracked down a Kenny Rogers pathway. I came across this classic song of his and soaked in the nostalgia of it; now, our house didn’t have a lot of Kenny hanging around but there is no question he was big news while growing up. While listening to this song, I realized once again the power of this song. Yes, this is a nice, catchy little tune but when you really listen to the ballad there is some pretty serious s-h-i-t going on. Anyways, I can’t seem to get the jingle out of my head these days so I felt it deserved to be this week’s Song of the Week. Hope you enjoy!

Next Stop Bangkok!

Two nights really, but what the hay, we’re on our way!!

Sunshine

January 8, 2008


Well, she did it! Yesterday our visa agent, Sunshine, in Beijing handed in our passports to the Myanmar embassy and got the official stamp we needed for our holiday. Getting the visa is not the big issue, but because we waited until the very last moment we needed to get it done ASAP and needed everything to work out just perfectly for in order for it to be done - and in China that can always be dicey. But, Sunshine came through in the clutch and did a fantastic job for us. So today, we celebrate Sunshine and all her wonderful efforts! Thank you Sunshine!!

P.S. You Rock My World

August 15, 2007


Well, here in Victoria the family is just having a good time sittin’ around watching the time roll away until the 23rd. I am trying to take a little vacation from the blog just to give myself a little rest - please do not fret, I will be back in action very soon! All in all, the family is doing great and we are now just getting everything ready to go back to China.
