Where You Live is Strange

Did you know?

In Fayetteville, you live about 20 miles below Bunn Level?

But ironically, about an hour and half south of Bottom?

Course, you also live about 500 miles over Hill and Dale, Florida.

We are about 4 hours west of Due West, South Carolina.

Just when you might have thought our name was boring, you might realize that the people of Townsville, NC were really less inventive.

Course, they might be even more interesting than the people of Boring, Oregon.

We can probably suspect those folks have a better time then the people of Bummerville, California.

You could try and stay even keel like the people of Normal or Ordinary, Kentucky which are both about two hours from Hell for Certain, Kentucky, or perhaps you are more like the residents of Looneyville, Texas?

To go back to Start, you need to head 800 miles west in Louisiana, but you have two Last Chances, one in California and one in Colorado.

Our crime rate has not earned us a Murder Bay, but Washington DC has one!

At least Fayetteville, makes sense.

Somehow, Pennsylvania has its own Jersey Shore, even though it is no where near it!

New Jersey got its revenge though. Who else has a Cheesequake?

Don’t believe me? Look it all up in Index, Virginia.

Slow Death or Rebirth for Myspace?

  Are we really watching the slow inevitable death of Myspace? With the integration with Facebook complete and  the push towards what appears to be a mobile only function , isn't it time to call this one? One report says that Myspace is making $200 million less this year. They are functionally giving up on Myspace Music , which was always their bread and butter. Without the music tie in, why would people BOTHER with Myspace? I'm talking about it because my wife's band has used every medium known to mankind to promote themselves online and Myspace has been nothing but dead weight from the very beginning. Only bands and their most ardent fans go there. The rest are on Facebook.  There is talk of selling Myspace, but who in their right mind would consider it? This will have some interesting implications for bands down the road. Many use Myspace as their de facto website, just pushing their domain name onto the customizable site. Now apparently, Reverbnation , a North Carolin

Being a Parent

While back, I wrote a post on Father's day about being a father and how being a parent is a job. I wistfully look back as I look forward to another school year quickly approaching and the evidence of my "work" is becoming less and less my handiwork. Our youngest has just moved on to middle school. Josh has moved into high school and the oldest has graduated from high school and about "start" her life. We've had a tacit arrangement with the kids. We do NOT want boomerang kids coming back to haunt us. So they have always been told, they are staying with us until they are REALLY ready to go out and that includes the joke that college has become. Sadly, despite the fact that I have spent a good chunk of my career working in higher education, I know that it is a folly to think that sending a child off to college is preparing them for much other than to have a lifetime of loans. Thankfully, Amanda has gotten the message. She has a plan to go to local c
