Paul Potts:  Britain’s Got Talent, 2007

 

This is my favorite ‘underdog’ story.  (The look on Simon Cowell’s face is worth the viewing.)

What’s yours?

I listen to his CD, One Chance, almost every day, and I’ve had it for many months!

        play the hand we’ve been given,

                and accessorize the outfit we’ve got.”

Blogs, Their Wills, and Their Mothers March 18, 2008

Filed under: Random Post, no technosavvywhatsoever — Karen Shafer @ 4:44 pm

Just recently, my blog has been unwilling to acknowledge me as its mother. About a week ago, in a matricidal impulse, it banned me from its premises.

Fortunately, through some delicate negotiations and not inconsiderable tech support, I am able once again to be a player (albeit a very minor one) in the Weblog Game.

Who knew blogs had wills of their own? I just hope that, when the time comes, my blog remembers its own mother in its will.
