Dear 16-year-old Me

Have you seen this video? It's about melanoma and it's very well done.

I was thinking about this video last night, actually, and what I would tell my 16-year-old-self if I had the opportunity. 

I started making a list... and then I thought... gosh, if I changed even one small detail I might not have met Lenny. I might not have Angie. I wouldn't dare change anything that might lead to me not having both of them in my life. Sure, I might have avoided some troubling times, but they all helped make me who I am today.

And I like who I am. 

So how about if I go back to last-week me and give myself the Powerball numbers for this week instead? :)

Y is for YouTube

YouTube is like the show and tell of the 21st century, at least so far. At last we can share videos like an exploding couch and this week's favorite... the Honey Badger video.

Now, when things get bad, I just channel my inner Honey Badger. I shall not care... I shall not give a sh*t. :)

X is for Xanadu

One of my all time favorite movies... Xanadu. Roller skating, Olivia Newton-John and fantastic music - what's not to like?

One of my very favorite things about Xanadu, however, has always been this song - You Made Me Love You. I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. It has only ever been released on 45 (for you kids, that's a small record - GET OFF MY LAWN! LOL) as a B-side to Suddenly. It has never been re-released, which is a crying shame. Yes, I still have a 45 of it :)

I actually sang this song once in front of a rather large audience.

Enjoy
