Oliver Stone’s new movie about the early days of current Bush’s presidency will be coming out next month and the 2nd trailer just hit the net. I can’t embed it on this site so here is the link.
<—-Check it out now! The funk so brother. I got it to work. If you are using Internet Explorer 6.0 or above or any Firefox browser, you should be able to see and click on the black little jukebox on the left side of this page and start streaming a few of my tunes,dude. It contains various mashups and remixes of songs that I messed with as well as a few original compositions that I performed on my keyboard. (Yay, 10 years of piano finally paying off, huh mom?) Oh and now for the picture:
Big thumbs up from Chip!
In honor of my recent fill-in duty for Chip I thought I would post a rare behind the scene look showing us actually getting along for once.
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
~Berthold Auerbach
Ahhh, now isn’t that just lovely. My soul could use a good washing. Now along those lines of music, I am attempting to place a jukebox on toddcarruth.com. Still ironing out the kinks but you can go to the audio page for a few sounds that I have created.
Okay, I know that Mondays are usually Todd’s DVD review days but I am going to switch it out this week with Thursday because I found this very awesome escape video.
I especially like it at the end when she can’t decide if she should jump or not.
So much fun to be back on Fox but I was really dragging around noon yesterday.
Ragweed in the air, or so I have been told. Whatever it is, it’s making me sneeze and my eyes water and I don’t like it one bit. I blame pigweed.
Playing golf tomorrow for 36 holes. Really, that’s too much golf isn’t it?
This morning, Ron Jackson is fillin’ in for Evan, Lynn Kawano is fillin’ for Megan, and I’m fillin’ in for Chip. I told Lynn that Fox 4 was the Fillin’ Station. lololololo. (Hey, I thought it was funny)
SMU TCU tomorrow night. I will be there at Ford Stadium. I hear there may be more purple than blue and red in Dallas that night. Frog UP!
A little bit of Chicken Fried Bacon goes a long way. Trust me.
I wonder if it will snow this winter? That would be awesome.
Sorry these thoughts are lame. Todd is tired boy.
Robyn, it took me longer than I expected to write out with that title.
Hey it’s Thursday and it’s time for a video. But before I do that, let’s check out the results of the our poll on the right side of the home page…The question was: What do you watch in the morning? And over half of you who responded to the poll said, no big surprise here, Fox 4. I am happy to hear that because today, tomorrow and Monday, I am scheduled to fill in for my good buddy, Chip Waggoner. I did make a brief appearance in the afternoon a few weeks ago but this will be the first time on Good Day since I said “Good Bye” back at the end of May. Hey, a big thank you to Fox 4 for letting me pitch in on a fill-in basis. And a big thank you to my current employer, The Expo Group, for allowing me to do the occasional on-air gig.
I wonder if they’ll let me do pet of the week again?
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. – Herm Albright
I really like this quote and apparently so do quite a few other people because when I was trying to find out who this guy Herm Albright was, this is what I found at somebody else’s blog.
It appears that Herm Albright’s most famous quote is, “A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.” It’s a funny quote, with several possible meanings.
A friend of mine posted that quote on her blog and then asked, “Who is Herm Albright?”
From what I’ve been able to determine, Herm Albright lived from 1876 to 1944, and he might have been a writer for the Saturday Evening Post. That’s all I’ve been able to dig up, and I’m really curious. Wikipedia doesn’t have an entry, and all the search engines turn up quote after quote, but nothing about the man or his life.
Anybody have old copies of the Saturday Evening Post? How about a little author bio? Anything would help.
Well Herm, I dedicate this picture and this Tuesday quote to you.
Okay, so this past weekend the movie was…..The Sandlot. I remember having a conversation with a friend the other day and getting berated because I had never seen this movie before. Even my kids yelled at me and so it showed up in the Netflix rotation on Friday and it was our choice of movie to watch on Saturday afternoon as we waited for the non-existent tropical storm from Hurricane Ike to hit Dallas-Fort Worth.
SHORT PLOT SYNOPSIS: The film is a flashback to 1962 when Scotty Smalls moves with his mother and stepfather to a new city. Hey guess what? His mom is Indiana Jones’ girlfriend/wife Karen Allen. And his dad is a very restrained non-cigarette smoking Denis Leary. The move gave Scotty very little time to make friends before summer and he’s somewhat of a “nerd”.
Scotty doesn’t know how to throw or catch (which I find really kind of hard to believe cuz I mean what kid doesn’t take a ball outside and throw it up in the air and catch it by himself ?) Anyway, he makes friends with the local kids, learns how to play baseball but accidentally hits an important souvenir into the domain of the beast- a very scary looking dog owned by the great James Earl Jones.
OVERALL: This IS a fun movie. If you have kids 8 or above, sit down and watch it with them. It reminds me of the awesome A Christmas Story
And as I sit here and think about it, I am wondering why they didn’t just build some sort of wall or net to keep any stray balls from going over the dreaded fence and into the beast’s lair. Maybe they would have if James Earl Jones had told them if “they build it, he will come.”
RENT IT?: If you loved A Christmas Story, you will like The Sandlot. Not fantastic (as I was led to believe) but it’s cute.
UPDATE: Would you believe there have already been 2 sequels to this movie? And a Sandlot 4 is supposed to be released this year. That sounds like a lot of balls getting lost to me.
EDITED: How many spelling errors can a guy have in 1 entry? Damn! Somebody remind me to run spell check on this thing before I post next time.
