Out of this world Christmas
What's up guys? The holidays are taking a toll. I am feeling extremely stressed. I'm glad we only do this one time a year!! Yesterday out kids had three separate performances and two of them were at the same time. By the time we got home I was in the dead zone. If my wife doesn't divorce me or just kill me before Christmas is over it may be a small miracle. [No Missy you cannot help her!!]
I found out yesterday that my youngest brother has moved out of my parents house and into an apartment with his girlfriend. I know a little more juice about this but will leave it alone until after Christmas. Anyhow, this is a weird thing for me. It has only been a couple years since I had to stop saying I am more than twice my youngest brothers age. Now he thinks he's all grown up. I don't think he understands the impact this will have on my life!!!! This means I can no longer say that my youngest brother still lives at home. [I know, I know, my other brother and his wife have moved back in, but that's not the point!] It makes me feel young to tell people I still have a brother that lives at home!!
I'm afraid this means I am officially old!!! Pretty soon I will be vlogging on YouTube telling my life story like geriatric1927.
In my misery I surfed a little [while I'm young enough to still see]....

Christmas is fast upon us. For the last 10+ years we have had some sort of Star Wars presents. I saw this video on YouTube and thought I hope this never happens to us.
---------------
I read this article about 'The 10 Gadgets That Changed the World'.
Here is the list:
10. Motorola StarTac cell phone (1996)
9. IBM 5150 personal computer (1981)
8. Sony Walkman TPS-L2 portable cassette player (1979)
7. Atari 2600 video computer system (1977)
6. JVC HR-3300 videocassette recorder (1976)
5. Amana Radarange microwave (1967)
4. Bell & Howell Director Series model 414 Zoomatic 8-mm Movie Camera (c. 1962)
3. Kodak Brownie 127 camera (1953)
2. Western Electric 500 Desk Telephone (1949)
1. RCA Model 630TS TV (1946)
I thought the TV may be number one, but I think in the future The Internets will be number one or two.
---------------
I found this game called 'Prismatic'.
The object of the game is to click on the small red dot. But no other dot can be behind it. I'm not sure why but I liked this game.

When I was little I always wanted to grow up and be rich. Today I came across a site that asked, 'Are You Rich?' and so I decided to find out.
Yep!! I'm rich and I'm ranked!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!
What? So is everyone else in America who makes minimum wage or more!?!
Back to the drawing board.

Yes, I read the Geekzine. Yes I'm a geek. Yes, I would like to post another list but this one is about Christmas. 'The 10 Greatest Holiday Movies'
Here's the list:
10. Elf (2003)
9. The Polar Express (2004)
8. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
7. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1
6. A Christmas Carol (1999)
5. March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934)
4. The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)
3. Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
2. A Christmas Story (1983)
1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
Yes, I disagree!!!
However, my top ten would be similar but I have to would include 'Christmas Vacation'. I think #1 should be 'A Christmas Story'. I could also argue that 'March of the Wooden Soldiers', formerly titled 'Babes in Toyland', is the best holiday film ever made.
My dad introduced me to this movie. It is one of his favorites.

I found a ton of great images today so please bear with me. Check out this cool Photo called 'leftover drops'.

I love this series he took in a helicopter of Africa.
[I love boats!]

Have you ever seen a 'Leafy Sea Dragon'?
[Tastes like Chicken]
---------------
This next image is a series of magnifications of a snowflake.
[Cool!!]

I also came across this cool street ad for a shirt cleaner.
[Now you see it, now you don't]

That's all for today!!
