Sites To See


The SOLE purpose of this weekly series is to help call attention to sites that I think many would find most interesting—in one way or another.  Just to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as a recommendation, and I have included sites that are rather disturbing to me.  The link below each image is to the site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was taken when applicable.  Please, go see for yourself.  Oh, and as of August 10, 2012, I will be no longer including sites that have auto-play and word verification engaged.

Pickler-Swift



Best Days of Your Life
Kellie Pickler (with Taylor Swift)
'Cause I'll be there
In the back of your mind
 From the day we met
‘Til you were making me cry
 And it's just too bad
You’ve already had
The best days
 The best days of your life

Ain't it a shame
 A shame that every time you hear my name
 Brought up in a casual conversation
 You can't think
Straight
And ain't it sad
 You can't forget about
What we had
 Take a look at her
And do you
Like what
You see
 Or do you wish it was me

I'll be there
In the back of your mind
 From the day we met
To the very last night
 And it's just too bad
You’ve already had
The best days
 The best days of your life

And does she know
 Know about the times
You used to hold me
 Wrapped me in your arms
And how you told me
 I'd be the only one
I heard about
 Yeah someone told me
Once when you were out
 She went a little crazy
Ran her mouth
About me
 Ain't jealousy
Funny

'Cause I'll be there
In the back of your mind
 From the day we met
To the very last night
 And it's just too bad
You’ve already had
The best days
 The best days of your life
With me
Was a fairytale love
 I was head over heals
‘Til you threw away us
 And it's just too bad
You’ve already had
The best days
 The best days of your life

I heard you're gonna get married
Have a nice little family
 Live out my dreams with someone new
 But I've been told
That a cheater
Is always a cheater
 So I've got my pride
And she's got you

'Cause I'll be there
In the back of your mind
 From the day we met
‘Til you were making me cry
 And it's just too bad
You’ve already had
The best days
 The best days of your life
Of your life
Oh oh oh yeah
 You're gonna think of me
 You're gonna think of me
In your life
 Oh oh oh yeah
Oh yeah

It's a shame
It's a shame
 it's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame

The I.W.V.D.S. Test


As you probably already know, I have stopped including sites that have word verification spam filtering and audio auto-play engaged in the [Sites To See] and A Sunday Drive series, which has proven to be a royal pain.  For many of the word verification thingies do not pop up until after you hit "submit."  Therefore, in order to check to see if a site has one like that, at least an attempt to leave a comment must be made, and I sometimes have a hard time finding something profound and uplifting to say.  Yes, I know that this is very hard to believe, but being so honest about myself should make me even more endearing to everyone.

Thankfully, I was informed of the existence of the International Word Verification Detection System, and I can finally get back to my old free-wheelin’ self.  Now, the system offers their services for free, but it costs €100 for the right to use their copyrighted comment for one calendar year.  It is as follows:

Achtung! This is a test of the International World Verification Detection System.  In the event of an actual comment, something quite profound and greatly uplifting to all concerned will be left.  (LOL?)  (Please?)

Okay, I added the (LOL?) and the (Please?) to the original message, which cost extra, but my desperate need for approval demanded it.  No, time and money spent in and on therapy is not always well worth the expense.

P.S.: Out of the more than 200 sites that were left on the old list for future inclusion in the Sites To See series, a full third have had to be dropped on account of having the word verification spam filter engaged, and I still have almost 100 left to check.  Yeah, I need to start spending more time in better blogosphere neighborhoods.

TFT: Kellie Pickler


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


I Wonder
Kellie Pickler
Sometimes I think about you
 Wonder if you're out there somewhere
Thinkin’ about me
 And would you even recognize
 The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
 ‘Cause I look in the mirror
And all I see
 Are your brown eyes lookin’ back at me
 They're the only thing you ever gave to me
At all

Oh I hear the weather's nice in California
 There's sunny skies as far I can see
 If you ever come back home to Carolina
 I wonder what you'd say to me

I think about how it ain't fair
 That you weren't there to braid my hair
 Like mothers do
 You weren't around to cheer me on
 Help me dress for my high school prom
 Like mothers do
 Did you think I didn't need you here
 To hold my hand
 To dry my tears
 Did you even miss me through the years
At all

Oh I hear the weather's nice in California
 There's sunny skies as far I can see
 If you ever come back home to Carolina
 I wonder what you'd say to me

Forgiveness
Is such a simple word
 But it's so hard to do
QWhen you've been hurt

Oh I hear the weather's nice in California
 And just in case you're wonderin’ about me
 From now on I won't be in Carolina
 Your little girl is off
 Your little girl is off
 Your little girl is off
To Tennessee


Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You
Kellie Pickler
I remember the way you made love to me
 Like I was all you'd ever need
 Did you change your mind
 Well I didn't change mine
 Now here I am tryin’ to make sense of it all
 We were best friends now we don't even talk
 You broke my heart
 Ripped my world apart

Didn't you know how much I loved you
 Didn't you know how much I loved you baby
 I gave you everything
Every part of me
 Didn't you feel it when I touched you
 Didn't I rock you when I loved you baby
 Baby tell me
 Didn't you know how much I loved you

I can't get you out of my head
 I still feel you in this bed
 Left me all alone
 You couldn't be more gone
 From fallin’ apart to fightin’ mad
 From wantin’ you back to not givin’ a damn
 I've felt it all
 I've been to the wall

Didn't you know how much I loved you
 Didn't you know how much I loved you baby
 I gave you everything
Every part of me
 Didn't you feel it when I touched you
 Didn't I rock you when I loved you baby
 Baby tell me
 Didn't you know how much I loved you

One day justice will come
And find you
 And I'll be right there in your memory
To remind you

Didn't you know how much I loved you
 Didn't you know how much I loved you baby
 I gave you everything
Every part of me
 Didn't you feel it when I touched you
 Didn't I rock you when I loved you baby
 Baby tell me
Didn't you know how much I loved you
 Didn't you know how much I loved you baby
 I gave you everything
Every part of me
 Didn't you feel it when I touched you
 Didn't I rock you when I loved you baby
 Baby tell me

Come Monday Reviews...Flaming Away


“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about,  websites, movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time.  Be assured that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.”  This is subject to change, however.  In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while.  For rants promote change, and change can be good—right?  Therefore, since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).

***WARNING***
The following will probably be highly offensive to all who see nothing wrong with homosexuality.

[Art Smith] has been one of our favorite celebrity chefs.  For from the first time my wife and I saw him appear as a guest judge on the American version of [Iron Chef] through several appearances in various capacities on other shows, he has displayed a distinct sweetness and humility, along with a great sense of humor, that we found quite appealing.

The current season of [Top Chef Masters] has been quite shock to our systems, however.  For he has erased all doubts about [being gay]—not that we had any questions about it before.  For neither one of us had any idea that he was, which is the way we would have liked it to have remained.

No, we are not of the opinion that all homosexuals should be burned at the stake, but it makes both of us very uncomfortable to watch a man in his 50s act like a little girl.  Seriously, there have been a few times this season when we thought he was about to start squealing with glee.

Yeah, what are we doing watching a show like Top Chef Masters in the first-place?  For neither one of us are sophisticated enough to fully appreciate the kind of foods they are preparing.

What we can appreciate is the demeanor of [Ted Allen] on [Chopped].  For he was one of the original cast members of [Queer Eye for the Straight Guy], and yet, he acts like a manly man as the host of Chopped.  Does this make him a traitor to the cause?

A Sunday Drive


Back during my childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a weekly series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

Trib Updates



This is a weekly series that will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have been published on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter.  Hopefully, this will encourage you to go check out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a number of truly outstanding authors.  Moreover, I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributing member/author, as well.  The “Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!” site explanation near the top of the side-bar should answer many of your questions.  Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (Spam On Saturdays)”  segment before, but it just wasn’t working for me.  Therefore, that will be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles.

[2016 Obama’s America] contains the trailer for a movie that the president might not be all that anxious for very many to see.

[Ron Hearst Rocks!] has me singing the praises of a member of a local news team for a change.

[Good, Bad and Ugly Ads] features television commercials for DirecTV, SuddenLink Cable and Dish Network.

[WhiteHeart Wednesday] has a video and the lyrics for Carried Away (On the Wings of the Lord).




Ironically, some of the best television commercials are for ESPN and only air on ESPN.  Now, I do not know if these ads really are meant to add all the more to the viewing experience, but it works for me.

Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill



How Great Thou Art
Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill
Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all
The worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And then proclaim
My God
How great Thou art

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
How great
Thou
Art
