This. Guy. Is. Awesome!

He is one person whose videos I will faithfully check up on to see if he's done anything new. He can do the -I'm a guy but I'm singing like a girl- thing with out the usual creepiness factor. Go ahead and watch, you won't be sorry! He works as an animator for Disney and that only adds to the coolness factor. =)

*Swoon*

This was just to much, -cute-guys-singing-and-acting-silly - not to share. I love these guys! Check out Neils cheek bones.....and Hugh's accent?*swoon*

Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

~Awkward~

~Watching a Bollywood movie in Hindi with English subtitles.....and having about half of the words and phrases be spoken in English....but that's not really the awkward part, the weird thing is that they would "translate" the English phrases wrong in the subtitles about a third of the time. For example, the main girl said, "100% percent," and the subtitles said, "Yes, I'm sure."

~Dropping an ironing board on my toe and having it hurt reeeally bad and then having the toenail on that toe turn purple, this happened a month ago. Guess who still has a purple toe! Just in time for sandal season.....though it has been fun to scare little kids with.....yes, I'm that kind of person!

~Self Employment taxes.....all I have to say about that is 15.3% baby!

~Awesome~

~Doing my taxes almost by myself, I may have had help from a few people....thanks Mom and Mrs. Toomey! =)

~ $2 nail polish that stays on better then the $7 brand, oh yeah!

~Chocolate cupcakes + Peanut butter frosting = Heaven in a polka dotted wrapper!

~This may belong in the awkward category for some, but hear me out. I've been doing it for a few weeks now and am amazed at how well this technique works! If you want to softest smoothest feet you've ever had in your life, follow these simple steps.

1: Locate that giant tub of Vaseline in the back of your medicine cabinet or it might be living under a sink somewhere!

2: That night before you go to bed, grab a pair of socks and your newly unearthed tub of magic, Then, scoop up a big ol' glob and rub it into your feet like lotion. Yes, it will be greasy and not soak in, that's what the socks are for!

3: Let it soak in over night and pumice your feet after your shower the next morning, keep on doing this and within a few days your feet will be soft and beautiful!  

~This video is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! Watch the making of videos too, it's just mind boggling. I wouldn't even have been able to figure out half of the stuff they had to! =)

Old Man River

This is a clip from the movie Till the Clouds Roll By, I don't remember much about the movie except this part, it didn't seem to fit in very well into the plot..... anyway this is my favorite version of Old Man River!(It has nothing to do with the fact it's sung by a young Frank Sinatra in a white suit......nothing at all I tell you!!) They managed such wonderful routines in these old musicals, they are even more amazing when you realize they did it all without the aid of computers and such. =) 

My First Vlog and an Accent test!

I saw this over at Puddles of Memories and thought it looked fun! Plusth you all get to hear me listhp, won't that be sthuper sthpecial? ;-)

Sorry about the way it keeps zooming in and out, I can't figure out how to turn off the facial recognition feature on my web cam, so it's goes crazy sometimes! The sound also appears to be slightly off with the picture, though it's kind of like starring in my own badly dubbed film, who knows maybe Godzilla will put in  an appearance.....or not!

Here is the test if you want to tackle it for yourself!

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught, Kitten, Fourteen.

Showing Becca(My Sister) How to Post Videos!

Cletus Take the Reel

I found this video a while ago and hearing the original song on the radio this morning made me want to hear this version again. Because while most of Carrie Underwoods songs annoy the dickens out of me I love this version!! The guy singing is Tim Hawkins, most of his stuff is pretty funny and clean too, which seems to be a pretty hard  combo to find nowadays!=)

I can Post Videos!!! Yeah!!

Thanks to Mr. Tim for showing me how to post videos on my blog!=)
Even if you don't like country music you should watch this, the guitar playing at the end is amazing!!


I am so happy that I can post videos now! This guy also does A Whole New World from Aladdin, both parts. It's really neat to watch. It would be neat to see it in person. Hint, hint ;)

Brilliant!

Okay, the computer world has once again stumped me. As a result of this stumpage you will have to follow the link below to watch the video. Though I think it may be the particular lap top I'm using and not me. At least that's what I'm telling my self!! hehe

I found this video a few days ago and though it was hilarious! It gets a little scary near the end though.....

(Edited to add) I can post videos now, so here it is!!=)

YouTube

Like all of the other computer things in my life YouTube is one that I really try to limit. I could very easily get lost in there for hours! So, I usually try to limit the cruising around to about 15 minutes. Here are some of my favorite finds!

I found this one while looking up how to do a Bayou accent for a VBS drama!

This one is from one of my favorite singing groups ever! You should really check out some of their other videos while your at it!=)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWfIoAFUhCM

This one is the product of little kids wanting me to look up random things. It's a little scary but you can't help but laugh!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv3Tm2mEL3o

This one was found and shown to me by my churches music director/pastor (they can't decide what exactly he should be called!) I have a friend who can also do this, but he declines to do a performance. I'm still waiting for it, I just need to catch him at the right moment.......maybe cruise Tim will come out some time!(hehe) Also check out Nicks other videos, this ones the best, but the others are good to.=)

Th-tha-tha-that's all folks! I hope you enjoyed your travel into the land of YouTube may you always find your way back out again before to many moons are lost!
