    I enjoy music.  Sometimes there are songs out there that have a deep, personal meaning.  Then I realize that the song isn't exactly what I thought it was about.  Here are six songs that don't mean what you may think they mean.  I think my favorite misconception on the list is the number 1 song by John Mellencamp.  I find it funny that a couple of his song makes people feel so patriotic when in actuality he is singing about how horrible situations in America have become.  One song that didn't make the list that doesn't mean what I thought it meant is "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys.  I love the song and it sounds like a perfect love song where a guy is singing to a girl about how he wouldn't know what his life would be like without her.  The truth is Brian Wilson is singing about a doctor that wrote him prescriptions without question.  Brian needed the drugs and said that God only knows what I'd be like without the script writing doc.  It broke my heart when I learned that.

    I'm sure all of us have had jobs that we may not be so proud of later on in life.  Here is a list of six musicians who aren't too proud of some of their early work.  I really can't tell who would be the worst but I know Tori Amos fans that would be critical of her inclusion on this list.

    I'll admit it, I enjoy a good cover song from time to time.  Here is a list of 20 of the worst cover songs of all time.  Guns N Roses cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" might raise a few eyebrows.  When I was in grade school, I had a friend that worshipped Axl Rose and I played him the Bob Dylan version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door".  My friend started crying and screaming that this Bob Dylan was a thief and that Axl Rose had to put a stop to this at all costs.  Then I showed that Dylan wrote the song.  "Well Axl should still kick his ass."  I think Madonna's cover of "American Pie' deserves to be called the worst cover of all time with Limp Bizkit's cover of "Behind Blue Eyes" coming in second place.

    I posted a link to a story from Nebraska about a man who had been going around leaving impressions of his greasy ass on windows of houses, stores, and churches.  Well the dreaded But Bandit has been apprehended.  He was caught in the act.  I bet his family is so proud.

    So we got Rick-Rolled at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.  Well now you can Rick Roll your friends with this handy cell phone text message thingee.  Check it out here.

    Do you have a nerd on your Christmas list but do not know what to buy them.  Are they a Star Wars fan?  Well if you answered yes to both questions then maybe you should check out the Darth Vader Toaster.  You can make toast have an impression of Darth Vader.  This truly is the greatest time in which to live!

    Looking for a word of the day calendar?  Don't really want a calendar but just want to learn a new word every day?  Check out the word a day website.

    This is The Sheep Market.  I find it amusing and a great time killer.  Click on a sheep and watch how it is drawn.  So simple, so lovable, so fluffy.

    I have been thinking of trying out for Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader despite my hatred and sheer contempt for Jeff Foxworthy.  Earlier this season they had their first million dollar winner.  The lady who won kept a few thousand dollars for herself and gave the rest to the schools of Georgia.  After reading this story, I'm sure she wants to rethink that donation.

    Have you ever thought of taking nude pictures of yourself and sending them to your significant other through the cell phone?  Read this story first.  First, whatever you do don't leave your phone with the pics at McDonald's.  Second, don't take the photos with a cell phone camera.  I hope to hell I never leave my mobie at a McDonald's otherwise those videos of me doing naked jumping jacks will surely hit the web.

    From time to time, I enjoy wikipedia.  I recently found a new site called dickipedia which documents some of the worst dicks in history.  There are no penises on this site, just horrible people.

    Was it P.T. Barnum that once said, "There's a sucker born every minute."?  Well if anyone buys this item on eBay, then you are a sucker.

    Someone please arrest this woman for animal cruelty. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle poodle?  What the hell are you taking to make you think of that?

    Take that thinspo people!      I always hated that saying "Big girls need lovin' too".  According to the study, they are getting more loving than the thinspo girls.  Sometimes karma can be a cold bitch to some and then to others it makes me feel orgasmic.  I laughed so hard when I read that report.

    I am thinking I need a new look for my blog and a new theme.  How about this?  Maybe I could change it to the Daily Beaver(innuendo alert)

    Read the URL first and then be prepared to be shattered.

    This is a disgusting story complete with xrays.  At least the child has recovered.  I can't believe he has full vision.  That is truly amazing.  Note to any parents with small children, keep your keys off the floor and out of reach.

    This is why I do not want to teach elementary school.  Who do we blame for this attack?  My guess is the blame will fall on video games.

    Well that is all for this week.
