Thought for the Day…
Often the world will love you if you let it.
Written by John Halcyon Styn, aka CockyBastard. Styn had a great “spirit” or “aura” about him – when he was around you felt wrapped in it, enveloped in this positive great vibe. Plus he gives a damn good hug. What a neat person – one of the many that I was able to meet at SXSW. (Yes, more photos coming soon.) When I read that post, I just had to link to it. What a wonderful thought. How many times have you shut someone out, not given them a chance just out of fear? And if you had let go of that – maybe they would have loved you, just for who you are?

Who Needs Sleep?
Now that I’ve seen it on TV three times in one night, something has to be said about this new Coors commercial. The song in the background? “Who needs sleep? Well, you’re never gonna get it. Who needs sleep? Tell me what’s that for?” Meanwhile, people are dancing at a club. Then they show a clock – 12:31am, 1:23 am, 2:13am. “Are you up for it?” in large text across the screen, then the album that the DJ is spinning has a label that reads, “Who needs sleep?” More partying, more drinking, beer bottles everywhere – 3:01am. So, let’s see … drink beer all night long. You can dance. You can party. Look at what a great time you’ll have! Who needs sleep! … Did I get it right?
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a drink every once in awhile. But this commercial really bothers me. I think I first noticed it during TAR2 – what if my kid was watching with me? What does that commercial tell him? And even as adults, what is it telling us?
Meryl & I joined together on IM to watch The Amazing Race. This was it, the episode that knocked the 4th place team out of the running and left us with the final 3 for the season finale next week. You can follow along and read what we had to say! And leave your feedback too, ok? Who do you think will win TAR2?

Myths about Copyright…
This post regarding Myths about Copyright (hot-link isn’t working right, need to scroll down to April 26th) has some information that is good to know. It applies to all of us. I won’t deny that I’ve walked in the gray area of copyright, sharing mp3s and so forth. Not quite the same as copying someone’s work and claiming it as your own, but then again – where do you draw the line? [via WOIFM]
