it fit me!
I'm supposed to do something with this shirt when I give out Disturbed stuffs schwag at Uproar next month. The idea was for me to wear it...well as you can see by the pics that wearing it is out of the question...

The shirt is cool...if only

I was going to post something from YouTube
But it might be a little TOO over the top for some people, the parental advisory not withstanding. It is a lot to take in, and definitely not for the faint of heart.
However...
If you want to watch it, here's the link to it. It's Disturbed's "Asylum" video.
I was trying to find the first night of the Uproar festival where the band played "Remnants" for the first time (it's the intro to "Asylum" that's not in the video listed above), but I don't have time right now.

Horns up!

More Disturbed street team stuff
There's even a web addy on them: http://disturbedasylum.com ...but it doesn't seem to want to work for me right now...
Sigh.
Maybe as the release date gets closer, it'll be online without having send your computers credentials...
I'm out...

300 books of matches...
I probably should have said 299 books of matches, because I gave my mom a book of 'em.
This is my first street team experience, so we'll see how this goes.
Wanna book of matches? LOL

Now THAT was different!
A bed.
Now, I know what you're probably thinking...that he's lookin for some action, but that's not it.
I've been without a proper bed for quite some time, and Chaz wanted me to be able to get some REAL sleep. So at one yard sale, the people holding it were selling a practically new full size bed for a ridiculous price. So Chaz got his wallet out and paid cash for it!
And it's a complete bed-- mattress, box springs and frame.
Thing is, I only have queen size sheets, because the last bed I had was queen size. But I made it work temporarily until I could get some proper full size sheets. Probably when I get some money next month.
I thought that was nice of him to think of me. Now I probably owe him LOL. No, NOT that!
(Get yer heads outta da gutter!)

Until next time--

If I could direct you to my other blog for a moment...
I just posted a little thing about Disturbed's second single, the title track "Asylum".
There are two YouTube videos there. The first one is the song itself (NOT the official video, that won't be out for a bit yet); the second is lead vocalist David Draiman explaining the meaning of the song, and the duality of the word "asylum".
The song "Asylum" isn't due out until next Tuesday (7/20), but I now have it on my phone because I got a free download from Disturbed's official website.
The singles are nice, but dammit! I want the whole freakin' album! August 31st couldn't get here soon enough!

Since the last post...
Incredible stuff has happened that I thought I'd share...
First and foremost: I'm finally out of my old apartment! I turned in the keys on June 29th, and spent most of the time since then unpacking stuff... and unfortunately, having nowhere to put it. I have no drawers in either my kitchen or bathroom, so extra stuff is getting thrown out by the trashbagfulls.
Secondly, more stuff on my favorite band's new album has been revealed, like the album art. Check this bad boy out:
This is Disturbed's mascot, "The Guy", and this is his third appearance on the cover of an album. The artwork was done by Raymond Swanland. The album will drop (be released) on August 31st.
And, of course, there was the 4th of July--- the rainy 4th of July. It cleared up in time to see the fireworks from UCO... from the parking lot of my apartment complex! I love living two blocks from campus!
Now, it's July and I have stuff I need to accomplish... like making sure my oldest son gets enrolled for the fall semester before all the good classes he needs are gone!
*sigh*

It's not nice to imply that God swears...
On Friday, when I had all the boys except Marc (who was still at camp) over to help me move the rest of my stuff, we were just sitting around, talking about anything and everything that came to mind, when Daniel said something that caused me to remark, “God probably looks down here and thinks, ‘WTF!’” (except I said the entire phrase).
Next thing I hear is Jeff exclaiming, “BLASPHEMY!”
Scott said I’d have to confess that. “Confess what?” I asked.
“That you implied that God swears.”
“Oh, come on,” I said, “What am I going to say in the confessional, Scott? ‘Bless me Father for I have sinned; it’s been 30 years since my last confession’…?”
Jeff said, “Yeah, that’s a good start.” To which Scott said, “YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TO CONFESSION IN 30 YEARS?!”
“Oh,” I said, “Do I need to confess that too? And what kind of penance do you think I’d get?”
Jeff started out with “1500 Hail Marys, 1000 Acts of Contrition, 2000 Our Fathers…”
“My tongue would fall out first if I did that!” I said.
“Oh, and bring me your tongue as proof you did all of that!” Jeff said. Then he mimed handing over his tongue and started making vocalizations that sounded like someone who had lost their tongue.
And, I abso-fucking-lutely lost it!
I was laughing so hard I was holding my breath (“Breathe, Mom!”), my eyes were watering, and I had to flee to the bathroom because I suddenly had to pee! And I laughed hysterically while I was in the bathroom, too!
The thing that got me, even today, is that Jeff could still do that and get me started on a major giggle fit.
It’s not nice to imply God is human!

Evaluate "Blogging for Journalists" Summer 2010
1. How would you improve this class?
The only thing I can think of is to have a daily topic to blog about. After that assignment is completed, then students can blog about anything else they choose.
2. What was the most valuable part of the class for you?
Learning that something that I've been doing for seven years could actually help me in a future career in communications!
3. What was the least valuable part of the class for you?
Though it's nice that we're able to post videos and music on our blogs, that, too, should have some kind of daily theme.
4. Would a book (Google Blogger for Dummies) help?
It couldn't hurt. I'm actually considering buying it some time in the near future.
All in all, I really enjoyed this class! I hope that I can keep up this blog now that the class is ending and use what I've learned in other pursuits on my way to that sheepskin!

If it's going to be 103 degrees...
don't say it's going to be 95 and with the heat index it will feel like 103!
That's what I don't get about the weather people on TV. If it's going to feel like it's hot, then tell us it's going to be that hot, and not confuse people with heat indexes and other stuff.
Same thing in the winter with the wind chill... if it's going to feel like it's 20 degress, tell me it's 20 degrees, not that it's 25 degrees.
I know, that's just the way the weather is here in Oklahoma, but I've noticed other places I've lived, too. Like Norfolk, VA and Boston.
If it's hot enough to melt asphalt (like it was the one summer I was in Wyoming four years ago), or cold enough to freeze the water in your pipes, please just tell me now.
Or just fast forward to fall already!

Congrats! You just became the mayor of...
I use this little app called Foursquare that follows me wherever I go (and I remember to update my location). It's a neat little thing, but then you become the mayor of someplace you've been to all of twice.
Like Pops in Arcadia, for example.
The first time I went to Pops, it was a few days after my birthday in February. It's where I wanted to go for the family party. I checked in with Foursquare and thought nothing more of it.
A couple of weeks later, Daniel (Number 1 Son) and I went after our respective classes, and again, I checked in with Foursquare. But this time, I found out I was now the "mayor" of Pops in Arcadia! And as far as I know, I'm still the mayor of Pops.
I haven't been back since that trip with Daniel, either.
If you check in at home, you become mayor of your house. Like "duh"? So I am the mayor of what I have called "Casa de Pera" (House of Pears). Of course you're going to be the mayor of where you live! I usually just check in, then "go off the grid" while I'm there. No one needs to know I named my apartment's location Casa de Pera.
So, I'm the mayor of quite a few places, and sometimes, someone checks in more often than I do and "steals" the title of mayor from me ("Sally B. has stolen the mayorship of IHOP from you" or something like that). Most of the time, I don't care. I don't go to IHOP that much.
I thought it was funny when I became the mayor of the Walmart Supercenter near where my friend Charles lives in NW OKC. I'd been there maybe three times. I soon lost the title to someone else. Charles has no clue about social networking, and could really care less about the internet in general, so he doesn't know why I thought becoming, then losing the title of, mayor of the Walmart he usually goes to was so freakin' hilarious!
BTW, I'm also the mayor of the Comm Bldg... but if you are on Foursquare and want to steal it from me, you're more than welcome to it!

David Rhea visits the "kids" at UCO
On Monday, David Rhea came to speak to our class about the future of media and how blogging, social networking and video and audio editing skills fit into this.
Rhea was a print journalist for several years, but is now doing digital media for the Journal Record, a local business newspaper.
It's not a degree that will get you a job, Rhea says, it's what skills you have. If you can manipulate sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Blogger; and like to tell stories not only with the written word, but with audio and/or video to back it up, then more than likely you will get a position with media outlets, public relations and advertising firms.
Breaking news easier in digital media than in print. A story in the paper could be a breaking story at the time it was printed, but if it's an ongoing story, then a newspaper's online presence can continuously update that story until its conclusion... or at least until the first televised newscast of the day. Before digital media, a story could be printed in the paper, but you'd have to wait until either a morning radio newscast, or until Channels 4,5 and 9 came on in the afternoon. Digital media is clearly the wave of the future of news, not just in the Oklahoma City market, but nationwide.
The future is here folks! Hone your skills now... you'll definitely need them later on down the road.
