Goodbye Blogger

This is going to be the very last time I say this, or anything else, on this blog.  I was going to post this song to go along with it, but it was just too bad, even for me.  You'll have to click that link if you want to hear it.

Anyway, this is your daily reminder, that as of 2-29-2012, I am no longer blogging here, but instead am at

Please change your links.  See you on the flip side.

Annoying Scriptures

Please change your bookmarks and blogrolls.

And since it's Sunday, and you're probably getting annoyed at me, well, here's just a couple scriptures to support my behavior:

Luke 11 5-8
Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.

 and

Luke 18 1-5
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’

“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”

See? Being annoying is biblical! So change your links!

Viva la Resistance!

Just saying no to Google's descent into evil!

Do I really have to say this again?

Please fix your bookmarks/blogrolls/subscriptions. Or you can just ignore me and get on with your life, but I figure if you bothered to read this post you probably aren't able to do that. You know you need your daily fix of Random. You know it.

Please fix your bookmarks/blogrolls... heck, if you're short on blogfodder you could even put up a post redirecting others to the new place! Or not. Whatever. But you just know that you're going to be missing out on some great stuff if you don't. All you're going to get here from now on is reminders to go there...

Crazy Weather.

I guess winter is finally here. Sideways falling snow. Why it has to start at the end of February, well, only the clouds know.

Of course, that means I'd really rather sit in the easy chair reading a book than go to work. Oh well, huh? Onwards and upwards...

The last daily song I'll be posting here...

So make it a doozy, eh?



So long, blogger, and thanks for all the fish, I guess.

Decisions

Well, you probably have noticed that I've been talking about this a lot, recently--heck, I first mentioned it back last November, so it really should come as no surprise. But with the way that google is ignoring the "Don't Be" part of their motto, and me just getting plain fed up with blogger's interface and commenting (CAPTCHA SUCKS!, and anyone who tells you different is just trying to rationalize why their abusive boyfriend keeps hitting them), I am hereby announcing my imminent departure from Google Blogger to Wordpress.  As of 2-29-2012, the eve of google's privacy policy change, the only thing that will be posted on this website will be reminders for people to change their bookmarks/blogrolls to my new digs, at


https://deadmandance.wordpress.com/

I don't know if this is the smart decision, or the right decision, but it is a decision, so at least you will stop hearing me complain about blogger.  Over the course of the next week, I will be giving out daily reminders of this switch, and until the 29th, I will still be giving you your daily supply of random music videos/inane chatter.  If you would be so kind, please look at my blogroll on the Wordpress blog, and let me know if I am missing you. If I forgot someone, I would be happy to add you (as long as you don't look too crazy on my completely fair and objective scale)!

Diversify!

Thought for the day

I don't know what kind of black magic they put in the stuff, but I swear that BG44K fuel cleaner gets the job done.

Oh, and also, I am no longer buying the cheap gas at that particular station.

And I hope the bad gas is all my problem is...

Some epic music to start out your week

It's Monday, so you're probably going to need it, anyway.



I admit that I did buy the Two Steps from Hell album--which is basically just music made for movie trailers... well, in any case, go forth and defeat evil.

Thought for the evening

Just say "No" to gin and coke. Please.

Sunday Music

Andy Hunter is one of the few Christian DJ's out there. Actually, I think he's about the only one that comes to mind right now.



Despite sometimes falling into the "DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM" repetitive trance beat a little too much, I quite like his music, one of the few artists I'll buy without listening to the music first.

Plus the video has some cool footage that the random youtoober who made it must have cobbled together from a bunch of Planet Earth wannabes. Pretty neat, when it's all put together.

Wooo!

Got my tax return from the State of Colorado, to the tune of almost $300. Now just waiting for the Feds to get it into gear--my mother is still waiting for hers and turned in her paperwork a couple weeks sooner than I did, so I guess I should get hopeful for a while yet...

Still, $300 would pay for a little lever action .22...

Speaking of Leisure...

I've got none. Going over to help the neighbor (the good one, not the crazy one) to set up what was described to me as a "Grilling Gazebo." Not sure what it is exactly, but this neighbor loves cooking out on his grill, and has a large patio set up with his grill, and a smoker, and all the accoutrements that go along with such things, so I imagine this is some sort of structure to cover the patio.

Then after that I'm hoping to get over to a friends house to work on a gun I have that has a very stuck screw. Bought a new one from Brownell's (10 bucks for a screw and lock washer?!?!?) so assuming we can get it out with some of his fancy tools, I'll be happy.

Also, I have been meaning to make a cold frame so we could get our vegetables started, so maybe I'll get going on that.

Supreme Beings of Leisure

I got one of my CDs that I ordered a week or so ago, at least. The Morcheeba album is coming from Jolly Ol' England, though, so I'm not expecting it for a while yet. Till then, I'm listening to the Supreme Beings of Leisure album:



I like.

Another Random Picture

This one is a screen capture from somewhere, but my brother sent it to me:

Honestly, that would be pretty awesome.  Some of those quips just write themselves...

.22 Bleg

So I am trying to decide what I want to save my pennies for--or use the tax return for, more likely, as a BAG-day gun. I know I want it to be a .22, but I can't decide. So here's the

What I want most is tied between a Ruger Single 6 or a lever action .22 of some sort (probably a Henry since I've wanted one of those since before I even had any guns!).  It's kind of funny to me that all the guns I really wanted before I started into this hobby were the old style single and lever actions, but when I actually got going everything I bought turned out to be more of the blacktical stuff... but I digress.

However, what I really ought to get, if anything, is more of a pocket .22, because lugging the Buckmark around to dispatch varmints in the trap is more difficult (and conspicuous) than I would like. On that front I would probably want either one of the new LCR 22's, but then I have an absurd desire to have one of those Taurus PLY's (ugly as sin, but who ever said wants were rational?). However, you all know Taurus' hit or miss reputation, and I know Butch, you really like that Beretta 21 Bobcat (I think it is) that the Taurus is modeled on. But then, looking around on the gun forums (for whatever that's worth, probably just as much as you paid for it), it appears that the newly made Beretta's don't really have a much better reputation than Taurus. (So, Butch, I was wondering what year the one your wife has was made--newer and the forums are blowing smoke like usual, or an older one with presumably "better craftsmanship"?) Now, all that being said, the smart choice would probably be to look for a S&W J frame type .22, since, well, I actually have a J Frame, and I could get some crossover use in terms of training.  But then again, what kind a features do you need on a double action revolver?  The manual of arms is pretty much identical across the board...

And then, all of THAT being said, the really smart choice would probably be to just spend the equivalent amount on 9mm and .308 ammo...

Anyways, that's what's on my mind, and I'd welcome hearing whats on yours.
