“No, Ty!”
“No complaints coming from you today.
A lot of people are hurt and in pain more than you.”

Even though I believe we all have the right to complain about our problems,
we should look at the bigger picture from time to time.
Hard as it may be.

Stay strong, Oklahoma.
Our thoughts are with you.


If you could spare a donation, please do.
Not because we have the means to do so,

The Brothers Gibb

The very first song I have learned to play completely on guitar,
and I mean, knowing the words and chords without looking at a songbook,
is “Words” by the BeeGees.

The chords are simple enough and the words are easy to remember.

Plus I got the bragging rights that I can completely play a song
and not a whole bunch of intros that I can never finish.

This post is a little tribute to the Brothers Gibb,
and to Mr. Robin Gibb, who passed away yesterday.

Thank you for the music, Sir.

Here are two BeeGees songs I have covered.

First Of May

I.O.I.O.

I am ready.

Are you?

Season Finale in 1 hour!

Ate my dinner.
Did my chores.
Played with the child.

I am ready.

Nothing will make me leave my seat,
while this show is on.

Nothing.

Wait.
I better pee.

**A big thanks to Maita for the shirt.

Last Friday’s Friday Five

I was going to apologize for being late with this,
because I was too lazy.

But then I was even too lazy to do that.

And then again, I know you don’t care.

So here goes.

1. What type of mood are you generally in on a rainy day?

—I actually like the rain.
I guess I get it from when I was young in the Philippines,
and all the kids go out and play in the rain.

There was a time when we never had running water at our house,
I would actually go out and bathe in the rain, with soap and shampoo at hand.
(Hey, beats the hell out of fetching buckets of water from blocks away.)

2. What are your favorite things to do when the weather is gloomy?

—I was going to say Sleep.
But I have never done that since the dawn of the internet has plagued my life.
(Curse you Oh Lords of Technological Progress!)

3. Have you ever been kissed in the rain?

—If by “kissed” you mean, your lips actually touched the asphalt road,
because it was raining so hard and you tripped and fell face forward.
Then Yes.

4. After the rain stops, do you continue what you were doing,
or do you run outside to do something else?

—Holy crap, I don’t understand this one.
I guess it really depends on what you’re doing.
I mean, I couldn’t go outside, if I am right in the middle of
performing bypass surgery on my ingrown toenail.

5. What is your favorite drink/food to have when it’s raining outside?

—A nice bowl of warm soup would be nice.

But then again, you can’t really associate rain with your food.
Unless, you were eating outside and it was raining.
Then you can’t really have any warm soup,
because that would look really ridiculous.

Standing outside in the rain holding a soup bowl.
What’s wrong with you?

My God, why do I even bother.

Check out,
Anne’s,
Abbie’s,
Maitz’,
And Nikki’s answer to these questions.

Because ever since our elementary days,
these people can answer questions correctly.

Not like some guy I know who pretends to be funny.

I am talking to you Alex Trebek.
Yes you!
You are not funny, and I hate you.

Wednesday What If’s?

1. What if you had 24 hours to pack up and leave your country forever?

I’ll be like, “No need to pack! C’mon Let’s go!!
No wait! I need my toothbrush.”

2. What if you had 24 hours to get married?

I’ll be like, “Dude!!! Bachelor’s party!! Now!!!! Hurry!!!”

3. What if you had 24 hours to entirely change the way you look,
so much as to become unrecognizable?

I’ll be like, “Stupid witness protection program!”

4. What if you had 24 hours to make a scientific or historical discovery?

It would be nice to find a cure for Cancer,
To eliminate Heart Attacks,
Better Tornado warnings,
End World poverty and hunger,
And predict who’s gonna win the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

5. What if you had 24 hours to meet and befriend the leader of your country?

I’ll be like, “Hey dude, Should we lower taxes or decriminalize marijuana?”
Which one do you think is more important to the public?”
