I think all Garth Brooks fans are waiting on Garth. Waiting for new music, waiting for a tour, waiting to see if he’ll return. Lets hope so!

This year, I decided to turn 29.1 instead of 30.  Now, it’s not that I’m afraid of 30, but I just felt like it sounds better if I stay in my 20’s a bit longer.

Yes, it’s true, I’m now 30.  Back when I was a kid there was not internet, no cell phones, no SUVs.  We had Intellivision, Garbage Pal Kids cards, and three channels on TV that you had to get up to change.  These whippersnappers today have it so easy.  Ha ha, there is my old man talk for the day.

Some songs are timeless.  The advice Baz Luhrmann dispenses is still good today and everyone can learn from it.

What kind of memories does this bring up for you?  Or is this your first time hearing it?

Every artist seems to make a Christmas album, however most seem to record the same old songs the same old way.  Lets face it, there’s only so many times you can hear White Christmas sang the same way.  

Sometimes you want something new, something festive and something to put you in a party mood.  Something to dance to!

I’ve put together a list of some of my fun and/or unique holiday songs that are worth checking out. Maybe you’ll find one or two to add to your collection.

• Call Me Claus – Garth Brooks

Star filled mini musical on Prop 8 and how it’s possible that gay marriage could bring in a lot of money to save our economy.

I’ve never been more excited about politics than I have with Obama.  There is something about the man that makes me feel energized and that change is coming.  I’m ready to see what he can do.  It’s a new day!

For those that want the song, it’s now available in iTunes for $0.99.

With the Firefox 3 release upon us, a lot of people will be wondering about the status of my themes.

So what is the status?

Inspired by the latest iPod commercials, I thought that WALL•E looked like the iPod type.  He is in fact created by Pixar, Apple’s BFF in the movie industry.  So I put together an Apple like WALL•E desktop wallpaper; complete with iPod.

What do you think?  Is WALL•E jammin’ or what?

Have you heard about Idol Gives Back?  More than likely you have.  Have you donated?  The money goes to help kids in our country and others have a better life.  Helping them out with things like books, safe places to live & play and medication.

It’s easy to give back.  You can donate online, by mail or by phone.  Details on the American Idol website.

You can also just open iTunes, click on the Idol Gives Back banner and purchase some music.  Songs from Snoop Dogg, Fergie, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Heart and more are available.  That’s a pretty simple way to donate.

A few weeks ago I posted about Kid Rock’s new song called Amen. It was an honest and truthful look at our world today. In a way depressing, yet uplifting at the same time.

Recently I ran across Hands Held High by Linkin Park, another song that really makes you think and holds nothing back.

The video above is an un-official video. YouTube is full of them and this is the one I liked the most.
