Going to the Chapel

I know...I promised to write more frequently.

So sue me.

Its summer, we've been running around a lot and I haven't felt like writing much.

But today I wanted to wish my parents a happy 41st anniversary!

Here is the original write up from the paper when they got married in 1968:

I have no idea why it came out that small!

Here are some more pictures from their wedding day:

I know my sister and I could not have asked for better parents over the years!

Even if they did dress us like that!

I can only hope to have as good and as long a relationship as they have had!

Love you guys!

Headline News

My World is dead...long live My World.

After 49 shows dating back to last March I will no longer be hosting my Internet radio show.

But that is because I am launching a brand new show!

Back in the day I worked in "real" radio with a good friend and we are going to reunite to bring you something a little different on blog talk radio!

Beginning Thursday March 5th at 10pm it will be "Jeff and Glenn @ 10!"

Thirty minutes of talk and all kinds of stuff.

There will still be the "People I Hate" segments, weird news and a lot of the things from My World, but there will also be more interviews, contests, and new features like "Dial a Date" and "Facebook Profile of the week"!

I want to thank the ones who listened and supported my little folly for the past year and I also want to encourage you to listen to the new show starting in March!

One of the very first contests we are running was announced last night:

The Limerick Show!

For the next month we want YOU dear reader to send us your favorite limericks. Actually we want you to read them for us! Send an audio file, post it to YouTube, brings us a copy personally...we don't care!

Over the next few days I will post links to YouTube and Daily Motion where you can post your videos and emails where you can send the audio files.

If you need some technical support just drop one of us a line and we'll do what we can.

The best ones will be compiled for the show on April 2nd (one day past April Fools Day) and played back!

So, as they say, stay tuned!

Birthday

Another one! LOL!

Today my one and only Godchild turns seven years old!

Alex is the first born of my only sister.

Really, when you think about it being a Godparent is quite the accomplishment.

It means that someone ELSE thinks you are going to be good enough to raise THEIR kid if anything ever happens to them! LOL!

When my grandmother passed away a few years ago I met my mother's Godfather at the funeral home. I told him that my mother (then in her 50's) was now his responsibility. I mean does your responsibility ever end? Am I going to be responsible for Alex when he's older?

That's a lot of pressure!

Still all of my nieces and nephews are a treasure to me. Each has their own unique personality and bring something different into my life as I am sure they do for their own parents.

Friends in Low Places

The last time the Steelers were in the Super Bowl I made a little video from all the games we had watched during the season.


So this year I did the same only I used pictures from all of our various gatherings over the year.


Set to the tune of "I Love This Bar" by Toby Keith.


Enjoy!

Super Bowl Shuffle

Six-burgh!

The six-pack!

One for the other thumb!

Call it what you want it was a finish for the ages and a game that no Steeler fan will forget!

First things first...the Cardinals played one heck of a game and if they had won it would have been fair and square. Their history may not be much (no championships since 1947) but they have some classy players and a good coaching staff.

Now on to celebrating!

First (again) the records:

Mike Tomiln becomes the youngest coach in a Super Bowl and the youngest coach to WIN a Super Bowl!

The Steelers (who were the first team to win four super bowls) become the only team to win SIX Super Bowls. For perspective here: The Steelers have one 6 of the 43 games played...13%. Fifteen teams in the league have NEVER won a Super Bowl.

James Harrison set a record with the longest play in the history of the Super Bowl. A rumbling 100 YARD INTERCEPTION RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Now the fun stuff:

What a game! For the last Super Bowl the Steelers were in I was so nervous I couldn't even drink!

This time I was more relaxed and with a 17-7 half time lead and the Cardinals looks unworthy it was a fun time!

Then things got out of hand...quickly.

My main thought as the Cardinals scored the go ahead touchdown? Man the Larry Fitzerald is fast!!!

So with just over two minutes left I was hanging head and ready to give up. Something I have never done during the playoffs.

I went to the bathroom and as I was looking the mirror I could not process the thought that the Steelers might lose! It couldn't happen!

I started asking for some sort of miracle.

I started talking to people I knew were on the other side to pull some strings!

Anything!

And they did it! The Steelers drove down the field and won the game!

Of course I though it might have cost me my soul...until I realized that there were probably a lot of other people doing the same thing!

I just hope there was someone else they wanted more than me!

So the celebration went long in to the night and we Steeler fans will bask in it for quite some time!

How long, you ask?

As a Steeler fan I can say that we will believe in our team until they eliminated next season...when and IF that happens!

Congratulations Steelers and thank you for ANOTHER great season!

Oh...and one more thing:

Superstition

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday season so far!

In order to continue that I present a list of superstitions associated with the first day of the new year!

One that I keep is being the first dark haired man to enter people's home. Its supposed to bring good luck to the homeowner and I will continue to do for as long as I have any dark hair left on my head! LOL!

Whatever your beliefs lets hope for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009 for each and every one of us!

Oh, and click on the title of the post for a great little surprise!

Family Tradition

Whew!

Last Christmas party of the year is over!

Now we still have to get together with family on Christmas Eve and then the other side of the family on Christmas Day...but no more parties!

I love getting together with everyone and the more the merrier...but I'm worn out!

We didn't have Christmas "parties" growing up. All the relatives would come to my Grandmother's house on Christmas Eve and then Christmas morning after all the gifts were opened we would ride from relative to relative visiting (in the back of a car with no seat belts by the way)!

Now we have one for work, one for the neighborhood, one for the extended family on one side...I love them but I'm glad its over.

Until New Year's Eve.

I wonder who decided that we need to ring in the next second in the continuous flow of time with a big party?!?!
