First – before you read any further, if you have either enjoyed the celebrity ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE videos or have participated in making a video yourself…. and if you have not already made a donation to ALS – then GO IMMEDIATELY TO THE ALS WEBSITE AND MAKE THAT DONATION.

And don’t think that just because you didn’t dump a bucket of ice on your head in the name of raising awareness for a charity that’s fighting the good fight for thousands of people, if you laughed even once at the antics of anyone who did do it – you owe ALS money.

The classic 1973 movie WESTWORLD featured a high-tech amusement park where guests would pay $1000 a day in order to live their ultimate fantasies of being a gunslinger, a medieval knight, or a roman gladiator.

The catch? The vast majority of the park’s “employees” were robots, all designed to give the park guests the ultimate adventure.

And yes, there were sex robots.

It almost doesn’t pay to be a musician these days.

We’ll take that back and rephrase: it LITERALLY doesn’t pay to be a musician these days. And yes, we are using the word “literally” correctly in that sentence..

With more and more businesses deciding to hop onto the STREAMING MUSIC bandwagon, one would think that the greater exposure would result in greater earnings for the musicians and songwriters who are getting their music spread far and wide.

They say that you shouldn’t believe everything that you read on the Internet.

That Wikipedia may (or may not) be the most reliable source of information out there.

It’s almost as if the Internet was designed as a way to implement the Ultimate April Fool’s Joke, just by saying to some naive friend, “hey, guess what I read online”? and having them believe you because YOU SAID IT WAS ONLINE!

Nothing false can be put online, you know. It says so right here in this email our grandmother sent us.

But what do we choose to watch when it comes to getting our national news?

In what will become an obsession for news agencies over the next 30 days, it’s time to begin reflecting upon what’s occurred over the past 11 months and use that information to fully represent what happened in the entire year.

Apparently, whatever happens in December doesn’t really count.
