In honor of the premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” I present to you this wonderful homage to this great movie franchise. Weird Al Yankovic the king of parody and satire tells a great story here.

The Gift Of Jewelry
One thing I have learned over the years is that jewelry is a big thing during the holidays. If you are a man you see commercials driving home the point that if you don’t get your special someone some really expensive jewelry you should feel horrible.
I think it’s a ploy to make people spend money they really don’t have. Well that could be said for any gift. The cheapest gifts can set you back a lot of dough. However jewelry seems to glow and enchants the eye. In the end you want to make your mate feel happy. I haven’t fallen for that pressure. My wife has simple tastes which is nice. It’s the thought that counts, right.
The Nerds Are Taking Over
In case you didn’t know the nerds are taking over. If you were once cool in school or other parts of life you can join us. May the force be with you, live long and prosper. Yep, resistance is futile.
That’s Not How This Works
You have probably seen this meme around the Internet and the spirit and message of it is very true. People understand one way of doing something and sometimes it’s not the right way of doing it. Life can be frustrating that way. Perhaps its a low tolerance for others doing something we know/think can be done in a different way. None the less its the way life is these days.
Back on Facebook, Yeah I Caved
I am back on Facebook as of tonight. I caved. I am ashamed a little. Really it’s hard to have a modern online life without it. Much of what I do relies upon it for work and that sort of thing. I need to be more disciplined and not get sucked into the negative stuff there. So if you are on Facebook friend me there at tonyburgess1969 .
Blogging is still my prefered platform for expression and communication with the masses. Blogger til I die!
Farewell To Fellow Bloggers
When a blogger finds blogging no longer fun and decides to depart it is a sad thing. Their posts became part of your experience online and they informed you about them and perhaps a little about you. Sometimes people don’t have time or perhaps they lose their fire for it. I hope I never lose interest in this thing called blogging. So to all the bloggers who have moved on I say farewell and may God bless you down the road.
