What hosting companies is everyone using out there? GoDaddy pretty much sucks… in addition to the constant ads and horrible user interface now they’ve managed to break connectivity between their database and Word Press, so I’ll undoubtedly be rehosting soon….
Here are some of my favorite songs and groups that I am currently listening to at work or in the car. If you haven’t heard of them you should click-through… and listen!

I’d categorize what I’m listening to now as electro-rock. Think electronica meets alternative rock with a twist of 80′s new wave.

Isn’t this the Discovery Channel / IMAX tornado intercept vehicle? This can’t be a good sign.
So yesterday I had to run to a favorite local Japanese restaurant and pick up some food (well I don’t suppose I had to, but my lack of desire to cook lately is probably a whole story in itself). Since it was such a nice day I thought I’d bring my dog Tucker along for the ride… he gets a kick out of getting to hang his head out the window as I drive around town. So we got to the restaurant and I left Tucker in the car with the windows partially rolled-down while I ran inside.
When I came out I saw something… odd. Inside the car was my dog with a very puzzled look on his face. Actually, if a dog could LOL, I’m pretty sure this is what Tucker was doing. Outside the car, on the other hand, stood a little old Asian woman, her face leaning in towards my passenger-side window, where she was BARKING at my DOG.
Yes, I came out of the restaraunt to find a woman barking at my dog. As I walked up to my car to get into it, she saw me… and her face went completely blank, she stood straight up, turned around, and walked away without saying a word. Strangest. Thing. Ever.
The Oklahoma Land Run Monument is a series of giant bronze sculptures which depicts the Land Run of April 22nd, 1889 that opened “Oklahoma, Indian Territory” up to homesteading by settlers. The monument, which sits on the banks of the Bricktown Canal in Oklahoma City, depicts dozens of horses, wagons, soldiers, and cowboys in a race to settle the newly opened lands.
Yesterday I took a trip to Bricktown and took some photos of the monument. You can see some of the best ones on my pictures page.

My Grandpa turned 87 today. I spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s house and had a lot of fun. I thought it would be interesting to post a list of some of the important things that happened in 1921:
