Letters To Santa

The following are letters to Santa that some local 2nd graders wrote. These are only sample as there are WAY too many to post. One thing I noticed was that a lot of kids want a 4-wheeler, Star Wars (awesome), Nintendo DS, PS3, 360 or an iPhone. Ain't no 2nd grader need an iPhone. But one of the most original gifts was a lot of the kids want pictures of Rudolph. How cool is that? Anyway, enjoy.

Wednesday Hero

I sat here trying to think how to start this post. What did I want it to say? How long did I want it to be? I wasn't sure how to begin. I turned on some Christmas music to help get me in the right frame of mind to write a Christmas Wednesday Hero post, but it wasn't really helping. I mean, how do you properly thank a group of people who have given up everything in their lives to serve you and protect people all over the world with just a single post on a silly blog? Many of these Men and Women haven't seen their friends and families in months and many won't be seeing them for many more months. How do you thank them? They are away from home during the time of year when everyone should be together. How do you thank them for that? Some of them will never see their home or loved ones again because they laid down their life for a complete stranger. How do you thank them for that? I guess the better question would be are we able to thank them enough?

To all those who have completed their service, the ones who are serving, the ones who have payed the ultimate sacrifice and those who may have never served but help those who have and are, Thank You and Merry Christmas.


These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Things That Piss Me Off

Animal rights activists

Flash

These stupid "talent" shows and games shows that try to call themselves reality. Simon Cowell and Mark Burrnett are Satan. And I am waiting for the day when it all blows up in the faces. God, that day can't come soon enough

Eco Nazis

Justin Bieber and the teenage girls who have made him as big as he is. Damn you all to Hell

People who "push the envelope". Morons

People who feel the need to constantly tell the world how much they hate Soccer. Oh..my..God, get over it. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Just shut up about it. You don't hear me bitching about how much I hate basketball or that ignorant game we call football

People who refer to all MP3 players as an iPod. Same goes for search engine/Google and pop/Coke

Guys who take photos of themselves without a shirt and use it as their profile picture. I don't care how "ripped" you are, put on a damn shirt

Celebrity gossip shows

E!

Anyone under 25

A Green Country military mom is especially proud of her soldier son. He's on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, and now he's been honored for his bravery under fire with a Silver Star.

It's not his first medal.

For a mother with a son in a war zone, Lisa Wheat is pretty cool, calm and collected.

"I'm comfortable because I know the training he's had. He's had excellent training. And I just have all of the confidence in the world in him," Lisa Wheat said.

The is the one that really brought TSO into the mainstream. Every house that syncs lights up with music has to use this song.
