Sad, but you know you totally wish

That you could have been there to toss some back in. And then when a guy out walking told you it was a waste of time because there were too many you would pick just one more up and look at the guy and say "But I am living the dream man!!" No, wait. You would have said "but it matters to this one." And then you would have shared a little life lesson*** with him and both of you would have grown a little. Plus it would make a really great church talk one day and then you would get promoted to GA in no time, just to share your real life experience instead of the wussy recitation the rest of the people share.

Stretching along the shore as far as the eye can see, it is a galaxy of starfish.

More than 10,000 were left high and dry on the sands after choppy seas washed them from their feeding grounds. And unfortunately, nearly all perished, unable to get back to the safety of the water. The graveyard of orange and pink extends more than a quarter of a mile along the golden sands of Holkham Beach in Norfolk.

Here is the rest of the story

I have know my fiance Tracey Wade for over 14 years and wanted to propose to her in a very unique way. Tracey thought we were just going to the movies on a Sunday afternoon. Little did she know, I had rented the entire theater and filled it with 160 of our friends and family. I made it seem as though we were showing up a little late to the movie and went in to the theater after the lights had gone down and the movie trailers were already playing. This was done to keep her from recognizing anyone in the theater. What I had done was make an entire movie trailer that had actors portraying both Tracey and I at different times in our lives, both present day and in the future. After a few trailers played including one for Lord of the Rings the one I had made started. Tracey thought it was just another trailer for a movie soon to be released. Tracey was just perplexed as to how many different things had similarities to our relationship, she kept nudging me throughout the trailer. Tracey had no idea this was a marriage proposal until the last three seconds of the trailer.

Nine months earlier in September of 2006 I started by hiring a professional production team, securing two and a half million dollars (FOR FREE) worth of film equipment (THANK YOU PANAVISION, THEY DONATED THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE SHOOT), and writing a script that would show what would go through someone's mind (Tracey's) if they were about to die. It is said "moments before you die your life flashes right before your eyes". JUST A NOTE: Ever since Tracey was a young girl, she has had a reoccurring dream that she was going to die in a plane crash. Actors were cast to portray both Tracey and I at different times in our lives (twenty years in the future as well as present day)

Full post on the how to with lots of pictures can be found at the Not Martha blog.

These two yahoos from Iowa were to cheap to get face masks before robbing an apartment, so they used PERMANENT MARKER instead.

Surprisingly the police were quickly able to identify them???

Most Awesome Thing I Saw On The Internet Today

I am going to try a new regular post where I will attached links to the stuff I really liked that day.

To start off I want to share this bulliten board post from my work's intranet. It is from the "FREE" board and has the following content:

One of our 2 farm cats had her first baby late this summer. I am afraid it won't survive outside in a Minnesota winter so I would like to give it away to a home that will keep it indoors. It is completely black with light gray tiger striping on its back. It does eat cat food but it is not litter box trained as it is living under our front steps. It's very friendly and purrs loudly when pet and is probably about 2 months old. I don't have a picture of it but it looks very similar to the kitten on the left of the attached photo. I don't recall which sex it is either.


Maybe I am not a cat person but the attached picture with the above qualifier (in bold) made me laugh for a good long time.

Yeah, that one on the left is sooooooo distinctive!
