Cruel Retarded Cop Video – But Funny
A friend told me about these videos. They are somewhat cruel, yet hilarious. I could not help but laugh.
Lightword Theme
I really love this new theme. The color scheme is awesome. The text really stands out. The text area is offset well with the gray background surrounding it. Everything looks nice and clean. I love these techy programmer guys who create these things and make them available for free. You guys are awesome.
Changing my blog theme
So, I really haven't done a whole lot with this blog so far. I had grand plans for it, but my interest is waning from where it started.
At first I really like the theme called Pixeled. It looked really cool. The problem was that I don't think anyone would really read what I had to say because it was kind fo difficult to read the text on it. As a result, I am switching to a new theme. I am going to use one called Lightword for a while. Hopefully this one will be better for reading purposes. Isn't that the whole point of blogging?
Duh?
Sometimes I am an idiot.
Every year around this time I really miss mom
Not to get all morbid and everything, but my mother has been dead for a few years now. Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday. I really miss her around now. I start remembering her laugh and her smile. It is a shame we have to lose the ones we love one day. I guess that is what makes life itself so precious. We are only here for a short while.
So I am going to go to the flower shop and get her a nice hearty plant for her grave. She always loved the outdoors and gardening. I guess I got a little bit of it from her.
If you are reading this and your parents are still alive, I suggest you take a minute and acknowledge how grateful you are that they are still around. Don’t waste the opportunity to spend more time with them while they are still around. Life has a funny way of blindsiding you unexpectedly. One morning you get that phone call that something has happened.
Don’t dwell on it. Just remember how precious your relationship with your loved ones really is. You are a living creation of your mom and dad. Their blood runs through your veins. Respect them, honor them and love them. Don’t forget to pick up some flowers for your mom this Mother’s Day. You will make her day.
Sometimes you just need a good laugh
I found this video on YouTube. Parts of it are friggin hilarious. I really like the one where the donkey is chasing the guy around trying to get some action.
If you are having a bad day, just load up one or two videos like this. If that won't cheer you up then nothing will.
Made My First Windows Movie Maker Video Today
I helped a buddy of mine make a movie using Windows Movie Maker today. He just got back from a Caribbean cruise vacation with his son. He is a single dad who really needs to meet someone badly.
He had a bunch of video clips that he took with his JVC camera. For starters, the JVC camera used a file extension .mod which I was unfamiliar with. I thought we might be up the creek because of the weird file extension. As it turns out, all I had to do was rename each of the video clips to the file extension .mpg for MPEG.
I tried using the automated movie maker function from within Windows Movie Maker. It didn’t work right. I guess that function is meant to be used with photos and not videos. It ended up chopping off each video clip after just about 10 seconds.
I thought I really screwed things up on him. Fortunately it was easy enough to remedy. I just had to create the entire movie from scratch by dragging and dropping each small video clip into the proper order that he wanted.
All in all I was pretty impressed with Windows Movie Maker. I will definitely be using this software again at some point. It is really cool stuff.
