The AOL Shopping website has put together a list of “10 Books to Read Before You Die,” based on a Harris Poll that asked 2,413 U.S. adults to name their favorite books.  

Here’s the list…and reasons NOT to read them.

1. The Holy Bible — Never heard of it.
2. Gone With the Wind — The title of his book should be “Lethbridge”
3. The Lord of the Rings — The author of this book has too many initials.  3 really J.R.R.?  Pick 2 and stick with it, we’re at war.
4. Harry Potter series — How old are you 6?
5. The Stand – When this came out on VHS it was 4 tapes long.  Something tells me it will take you 100 years to finish.
6. The Da Vinci Code — Tom Hanks isn’t mentioned in the book once!
7. To Kill a Mockingbird — 3 Words…Don’t Feed It.
8. Angels and Demons — See #1
9. Atlas Shrugged – Just get a Globe!
10. The Catcher in the Rye — This book is the reason John Lennon was shot.  Do you want to be a psychopathic killer?  If yes, read this book.

The lead singer of Tool has another band, this one is called Puscifer.  I’ve never heard any of their music, although I am a big fan of both Tool and APC…but this Mock Press Conference about their upcoming tour makes me want to go to Vegas and see them:

I joined a gym with my girlfriend.  I know, it’s the start of the year and it is the time when most people join gyms…then drop it months later.  BUT this is gonna stick…and I’m pretty excited.  It’s better to work out if you have someone to go with…so if you are thinking of joining…bring a friend. I bought one of those ipod shuffles so I’ll have some sweet rock n roll to listen to while I pump iron. Do they still make weights out of iron?

By the time I’m done I’m gonna look like this!

Starts with the….fist?

I always say to myself: “Scott, you should blog more…no really..you should shake things up in the internets with your witty humour and funny come-backs.”  And then I forget or get distracted by a shiny object…so due to my lack of attention on my blog, I’d like to reward your faithful readershipness.  Your Welcome.

I was driving to work this morning in the piles of snow and sliding on the roads and it hit me.  not another car but..An epiphany!  Everyone is mad about these roads in Lethbridge.  But honestly Winter driving has always been terrible in his city.  Granted this one is the worst I’ve seen, but generally speaking, winter has always been hard driving here.  And then it hit me…Mayor Bob, won an uncontested election.  Hey I like the guy just as much as the next fellow, but really…he won an uncontested election.  Clearly no one though they could do a better job.  Now I hate placing blame on people, but when you elect someone and they let you down…who do you have to blame? The Elected official most times…but in this case…no one else stepped up to the plate.  So we can complain about the roads in the city all we want, or we can just…(if I can get cheesy for a moment)…BE THE MIRACLE.  Clearly the city isn’t going to do Jack about this, so we have to.  We have to be the ones to help clear off our neighbors sidewalk…we have to be the ones to help someone one who is stuck in the snow instead of just turning our backs or driving past.  This year the people in the city gave themselves raises…and meanwhile we can get to work on time because most of us live in areas they say they’re not going to plow.  Remember this Lethbridge, remember the hard times, so when we come to a point where we can change things…BE THE MIRACLE.
