Okay. There isn't much to this posting but this video made me laugh out loud. Do you sense the theme here? I am practically jamming the sappy Christmas antics down my throad. I have never heard of this show but I may need to check it out. It looks decent.

Have you been thinking about what you want to do in 2011? I have - a lot. I have been thinking up ways to get my time back.

2010 has been a busy year of growth at the day job and we've been more than just busy - we've been uber-crazy busy. We've been so busy, you can't seen our feet any more as we're most likely running - well, mentally, at least. Our great bunch at the office have been helping me out to try and gain a little sanity back. I also own a lot of blame for this as I have been doing such a good job at making sure I am doing non-work related activities as well. But, it is hard. When it comes to my work, I am ultra-responsible to the point where it drives some people bonkers.

• "Take some time off today, Shane."
• "Dude, do you really have to do that technical thing right now?"
• "You're going home at some point, right?"
• "Ummm, you look like a crazy person. When did you last shave?"

I kid you not, there are days (thankfully, very rarely) when I get questions like that. So, I declare, here and now: "2011, you and me are going to have words."

So, to get me fired up again, and re-claiming a bit of my day - I present to you a video I put together over the last weekend. It is made up of some videos that I took when Serendipity, our oldest and most princess-like pug, because sick when she was only about seven months old. I did have these videos online some time ago but Google Video lost them for a year or so. Nothing fancy, just a good tale.

Oh, and by the way, we spent about $12,000 on her due to her spinal issue. Now, if that isn't responsibilty tied with love, I don't know what is.

I have been quite busy with the day job of late but I have had some time to get back to writing some new posts.  I was intending on starting this coming weekend but I couldn't not share this song.

For all you literary types, you will really get a kick out of this.

I was talking to a couple of friends today about what is "cool" about the Internet. I said it really wasn't the Internet that was cool but it was the content that made the Internet worthwhile. Of course, they requested samples.

I provided them a short video called The Daily Monster.
