Seriously, when you hear him talk at the end you're like "THAT dude just sang THAT tune? Shy, timid, regular bloke by day and then the most powerful tenor in the UK by night.
I wish he would've sung something other than Nessun Dorma, but hell, I can't hum the Oscar Meyer Wiener tune right half the time let alone nail ANY opera, so I should shut up.
In case you're curious he won and along with some money he'll be performing for the Queen. After that, I see the highest selling opera album in years over their, and if they sell his story wolrdwide who friggin knows how many he'll sell?

Boo
Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.
I'd like to thank them for keeping me from being UBER-bored when it's UBER-slow at work and for keeping me from being so bored I wind up doing the same kind of crap to entertain myself.
BTW, all the stuff I post is "Work Safe" unless otherwise noted. You just might want to watch your volume so the boss doesn't hear.

Not sure what to title this one
I was thinking the other day that my daughter would've been 11yrs old this year.
I've almost written about her several times over these past 3 blogging years.
I've only really talked about it with 4 people.
I guess I'll just hit "publish post" since I've been staring at the screen for about 5 minutes not knowing what to type next. I might post more about it some other time.

Mr. Wizard has died. :(
Mr. Wizard got to teach two generations of TV watchers the wonders of science. First in the 1950's and again in the 80's on Nickelodeon.
Ah.....remember the good old days when you'd take you knewly gained Wizard knowledge and use it to blow up shit in your backyard instead of leveling your school and killing your classmates? Good times...good times....
Mr. Wizard, you shall be missed.

From "Britain's Got Talent"
Truthfully, if I'd been watching it RIGHT when it happened and not seen an edited version, I would've teared up. I agree with the "joo-jez".
KOM "interviewed" me and it's taking longer than I thought it would to write. It might actually be interesting, stick around.

Whack(ed)?
Man, I'm glad I'm not a Soprano's fan. Never even seen one episode (No, it's ok, they're mobsters, they don't care if I used poor grammar as long as I don't rat nobody out). Feelin pretty good about it too cuz everybody on earth is saying that the last episode was the suckiest suck that ever sucked.
Hey, look at it this way, at least you GOT an ending. I'll never know the real end to Stephen King's Golden Years or if that guy on Daybreak ever stopped his girlfriend from getting killed. They got cancelled.
Quicher bichin' and just remember, we all got to see Gilligan get off the island and that's what really matters, right?
'Course now Jack, Kate and Sawyer are stuck on there with the "others" but that's besides the point.
Beside the point?
BeSIDES the point.....be...side the point?
WHATEVER?!
You know what I mean!
Maaaaaay-be the Soprano's shoulda had the Harlem Globetrotters show up?
I know, I know, it's not the same without Curly Neal and Geese Ausbie.
Just sayin'.

The Fred Conspiracy
There's a woman in my building who keeps calling me Fred, even after I've told her my actual name several times over the years.
What's this pic have to do with it? Well, when you Google Image Fred Flintstone, you get this lovely lady. She doesn't look like a Fred either. I found it fitting. We "Fred's" need to stick together.
Happy Friday.

Sure, they drop the "Mighty" and THEN they win.
I'd like to congratulate the Anaheim Mighty Ducks (Who, by the way, I picked to win even before the season started! I rule!) on winning the Stanley cup this year, and I'd like to thank the many Ducks (and Sens) fans who booed NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
You suck, Bettman!
I'd also like to say "sorry" to Canada. Once again The Cup won't be coming "home".
I wanna thank Ottawa for pretty much giving up halfway through the second period, and this was BEFORE you scored on your own goal (stupid flukey crap). I think I liked you better when you'd choke early in the playoffs and not get everybody's hopes up (I used to kinda like the Sens when Bonk and Hossa were still on the team and the early Ron Tugnutt days). Maybe next year you'll flop less and stop shooting the puck directly at guys. Try praticing keeping your sticks on the ice too. For awhile there you guys were in the penalty box so much I thought Anaheim had TWO visitors bench's. Thanks for helping your old buddy Jerk out by NOT extending the hockey season. :P
I still think that with Luongo, Vancouver is Canada's best hope for a cup in the near future. We'll see.
*sniff*.......hockey go bye-bye.
*sniff*
I'll....I'll miss you Hockey.
You suck, Bettman.

Where I werk
Things here at Amalgamated Shmuck are getting kinda irritating. I know it LOOKS like a fun filled place to work, but it's not QUITE as exciting or sexy as the pic makes it seem.
My Desk, where I sit and try not to strangle my coworker for phuc-n things up or making me crazy with his drunken ramblings.
Wasn't that fun?
The previous post was better.
Have a great weekend. I'll be one year closer to death.
Woo
Hoo
