DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?


Do you believe in God? That's the question that the band flyleaf posed in their song "Cassie". The song was inspired by the senseless murder of cassie bernall, a victim of the Columbine tragedy. All of us go about everyday hiding in our own little protective worlds. We never realize how we affect those around us either in a negative,careless way or if we are lucky the opposite. I am fortunate that I awoke from "my fog" before it was too late, I almost lost my wife. But thanks to God, I've turned it around and our relationship is very strong and moving forward. And so it is with the combined tragedies of Cassie Bernall and rachel scott,another Columbine victim, that we can learn much. After losing my job of 11 years and the mess I had made of my marriage, no one can tell me that God hasn't been pushing me onto the correct path. I took so much for granted, but that is no longer the story! Awake each and everyday, embrace the life that you've been given don't fret over what should or what shouldn't be, there are those whom are much worse off.

HOUSE-HUSBAND

I know its a stain on my masculinity, but I've been out of a work since Xmas. And face it, my wife's been carrying the load all these years, i can learn to do it. Remember that movie Michael Keaton made in the 80's, Mr.Mom, well that's what I've become. I really appreciate all the hard work my wife does. I'm getting a first hand view of it. Why I've even learned to cook, nothin' that anyone would be dyin' to try.
I made pancakes this mornin', how delicious. My little princess said they were good, dad. The only thing i can't deal with is after about 4 days, I start gettin' "cabin fever". And when that happens I get "a fevah". More about that another time.

ASK THE DUST

Salma Hayek
I caught this movie on a free showtime weekend on my wonderous DIRECTV. "Ask the Dust"(2006)Ask The Dust, based on a novel written in 1939 by John Fante, was actually a fairly good film. I can't believe that it took 30 yrs to bring this movie to the big screen, but whatever. Anything with Salma Hayek is alright with me, now, now it really did have a plot. The music is good as well, unfortunatly no one ever thought to make a soundtrack. There's a great django reinhardt tune, "blue Drag".

HOLLY COLE

Wow, how come i've never heard of Holly Cole? Where's she been all my life? She's all over the place, really nice vocal range. I'd love to hear her sing a version of "Fever". Her latest release came out last month, here in the U.S., so grab momma, turn the lights down low, and hit the basket!Holly Cole

ELVIS

We're all aware what a great talent Elvis was, in fact I would have to say that Elvis was probably one of the top three vocalists of all time. But if you want to hear a different side of Elvis, check out ELVIS
