Van Halen Tour Cancelled?

Rumors are that the Van Halen tour is being canceled due to Eddie Van Halen having issues. What a shame, I really thought this tour might help Eddie, especially with his son Wolfgang playing bass. I know when I saw them back in the late eighties it was Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth who had the issues, but back then Eddie was still spot on.

Hopefully Eddie can get the help he needs. It always makes you wonder “what if”.

What if Eddie could pull himself out of his problems and finish his career in the way Eric Clapton has?

50th Daytona 500

I am so ready for tomorrow. The 50th Daytona 500 and I think it is going to be a great one. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. looks poised to win with his new Hendricks team.

Iowa caucus

Tonight is the Iowa caucus and I guess that means we can at least expect to narrow the Presidential Candidate field down a little. Usually after the Iowa caucus at least a couple candidates drop out and give their support to someone else. It is probably just an aspect of the mass media these days but it sure seems like we had more candidates than ever before. Some candidates will stick around until next week for the New Hampshire Primary.

Of course the Republican and Democratic conventions are not held until September so we have a long way to go in finding out who will be the leading candidates for their party nominations.

I personally expect to see some real shakeups after tonight.

More YouTube and less Television

I have spent the last 4 days at home enjoying the Holidays. One of the things I noticed is that we tend to go to YouTube for video entertainment instead of the Television. We have already seen all the Christmas classics a thousand times and there is really nothing on TV.

We used YouTube a lot over the last few days. The kids (teenagers) love to dig up silly videos and show them to us and we can find stuff for them that they have never seen.

A good example is Rich Little. I remember Rich being a great impressionist from when I was a kid. Well now there is Frank Caliendo and the kids could not believe anyone was ever as good as Frank. Well, thanks to YouTube I found some Rich Little videos and showed them.

I think Frank Caliendo would do better focusing on Videos Online instead of a 30 minute TV show (Frank TV).

Try it, go to YouTube and search for some of that old stuff you liked, you may be very surprised at what you find.

Santa Claus Tracker

It’s that time of year again, and the technology sure makes it easier than ever to have an accurate Santa Claus Tracker.

The Norad Santa site has to be considered the Official Santa Tracker.

So make sure to bookmark it and help the kids keep up with Santa Claus.

Toe Injuries

Everyone laughs at the fact that I had a full cast for 2 weeks for a broken big toe and now I have been in a “healing shoe” for the last 3 weeks.

I went to the Doctor on Monday and I could not believe it. The x-ray almost seemed worse than before, I could clearly see the fracture from a distance. So she gave me a different healing shoe to wear for 3 weeks and then I will start weaning into some sort of split inside a regular shoe.

I never thought my big toe would cause such a pain in my …..

Another wonderful December. We are skipping Christmas this year for the most part. It’s just too expensive with all the other things that have gone wrong. I am already looking forward to 2008, not sure why, but it hopefully will be better than 2007.

2 things driving me crazy

There are 2 things that have been making me crazy. The violence in our country and the politics. Both are just out of hand. I am not sure how and if we can get either of these things under control but I think we certainly need to try.

The violence is overwhelming. I have 2 teenagers and it is now to the point where I worry no matter where they are going. Schools are not safe, malls are not safe, is there anywhere that is safe, NO.

The politics have become just attacks on individuals. I really don’t care what one politician thinks of another politician. I want elected officials that will actually say what they will do, and do what they say. Quit trying to tell me how bad everyone else is, start telling me the truth about who you are.

Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers

I was a little ticked off tonight when I realized the my beloved Dallas Cowboys game against the Green Bay Packers, which is probably one of the best games this year, is only being telecast on the NFL Network. Holy Moly. What a bunch of crap. Now with this said, I was not so upset when I found out I could call Comcast and have the NFL Network and NFL HD Network added for only $5 a month.

But I know this is not available to a lot of viewers out there. It seems that we are now at the mercy of the cable companies and leagues like the NFL to watch their games. If this is the way it is going to be, I would much prefer that they just go ahead and break it all the way down where I pay for the just the channels I want.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Shopping

I was very surprised today. We decided to go shopping this afternoon, even though it was Black Friday. Most the stores had early sales promotions and I guess that got everyone out early, because after lunch it did not seem much busier than a normal Saturday.

A couple stores were fairly steady, but overall the traffic was not bad at all. Maybe Cyber Monday is going to continue to grow while Black Friday sales fade.
