This Is Snot What You Think It Is

I do not approve of the flu shot. But this was awesome nonetheless.

Prejudiced? I Can’t Tell

Randy Peterman — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:40:48 +0000

Today I was listening to a pop artist because I had heard her name enough times that I had to find out why people were listening to her. For those of you keeping score: it’s not Britney Spears. YouTube had a number of her videos online so I listened to them on the y’ube and got a feel for the style of her album(s). I did not watch more than about 10 seconds of her video but I’m pretty sure I’m prejudice. The reason I say that is that with computers and software being what they are even I can sound relatively decent so I want a genuine artist writing from their heart about things that matter to them. I need something deeper than dulcimer tones.

Am I prejudiced against the pretty faced girl who sings like an ‘angel’ (pardon me while I puke in my mouth after writing that)? I think so. What if the unnamed country-pop star is really a great, talented gal who writes real songs from her heart? I’m scared if she does because she’s got to have a large chunk of bubble-gum lodged in there and its coated with banjos [this makes her songs authentic country, I believe]. Definitely enough to have a need for heart surgery. If she likes country music and enjoys singing about love, broken heartedness and incestuous relationships like traditional country musicians that’s great, but it just doesn’t show up in the lyrics and the videos are more about her hot young body than they are about her personality. Or, as my sister, who likes country, likes to say: her qualities [a reference to the Bachelor TV show].

Help me find a really, really good country artist who writes quality songs, has depth in lyrics, music stylings, and isn’t just a celebrity for appearance sake.

At the end of the above video is a grape letting off a gaseous flame. I showed the above video to an 11 year old boy and he announced, “Oh! They made it better!” In boy terms there is nothing better than first making flames from a grape in a microwave – except to be able to make the flames float up in succession. That’s just magical.

Ret Her Into Your Heart

Randy Peterman — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:15:44 +0000

Clearly I have not talent and someone this age starting out with this much talent is going to rock whatever Idol they have in their country. Simon Scowl should watch out.

While our friends the Masons are in China we’ll be thinking of them – and this video reminds me of the cuteness that is their blessed daughter Nadia, who will clearly also rock the world, but probably for World Vision and not for YouTube. Have fun Masons!

A Day of Tears

Randy Peterman — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 19:56:12 +0000

Today at church we said good-bye to our friends the Pools. They’ll be moving to Virginia later this week and we won’t see them as regularly. Fortunately Rachel has family here so they’ll be back at times and we’ll get to see them. I was very sad to see them leave. The Lord has a plan for them and I’m OK with their departure. We had to leave friends and family when we left Nevada and Texas.

One of the families we left in Texas was the Mason’s. They’ve been planning and trying to adopt a baby from China for about three years now. Today, in China, they picked up their baby girl Nadia. Jessica and I had tears streaming down our faces as we watched these videos of Luanne & Mike holding their new baby girl. They will be heading home after about a week’s time I believe. We can’t wait to meet Nadia and see them again as a bigger family.

Many tears today, but we’re glad for what the Lord is doing!

Evie Video

Randy Peterman — Sun, 20 May 2007 15:53:46 +0000

I’m heading out on yet another business trip. Here’s a video of Evelyn for you to watch and me to watch, too. Unfortunately the Mac is already packed up so we’re using the web cam on the Windoze machine. Lower quality, but Evie’s just as cute.

Abby’s Dance Recital

Randy Peterman — Sat, 19 May 2007 18:36:06 +0000

Today is Abby’s dance recital. She’ll be doing the performance around 2:30 or maybe later, but here’s video from the dress rehearsal. Unfortunately I’m not allowed to photograph or record in any way the final performance. Dictatorship being what it is, I wasn’t assigned the duty of video work (and this clip is probably a good enough reason why), and I also was instructed that taking video would lead to my demise as a parent at said recital.

Anyway, here’s the video [requires Quicktime size: 7 MB]: Abby’s Dance Recital 2007-05-19

Switchfoot Video: Awakening

Randy Peterman — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 17:30:45 +0000

I love the band switchfoot. The lyrics are pensive, and often thoughtful. The rock is amazingly good, and the compositions are always impressive to me. Attention to detail definitely is definitely a fitting description for their whole sound. They’ve created a new music video that references video games, pop-culture and paper-mation. Right on guys! See it on YouTube!

Worst Horror Movie Concept Ever

Randy Peterman — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 15:14:07 +0000

I think this beats out any other prior bad movie concept. Biting Sheep and humanimals [not safe for children and probably work]. I don’t care if this is brought to us by the people who made Gollum, or the people who helped make Gumby, this is dumb. But the upside of bad movies like this is that you know that Hollywood is making a killing on movies to dump money into projects like this. MPAA: when money is being bled like this, please don’t come knocking on private citizen’s doors about losing money because of file sharing :)

Thanks to Tony Nuzzi for the video link :)

Abby’s First Time Bowling

Randy Peterman — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 04:32:42 +0000

Tonight after work Kurt called and invited us to go bowling with he and Becky. Being avid bowlers we said, “Yes!” I actually enjoy bowling now for some reason. In fact tonight I bowled a 157 on the second game. Anyway, we said that we’d go bowling in part because it would be Abby’s first exposure to bowling. She was excited because she happened to have on a shirt with different sports balls pictured on it, so it was the ‘right’ shirt to wear. The video linked below is her first ever bowling experience. Enjoy it, it makes this daddy proud. Slowly, but surely, proud. I love to see Abby’s joy. And it doesn’t hurt that Uncle Kurt is yelling, “Go ball, Go,” either!

Abby bowls for the first time

Evie, too:

This is How to Spider

Randy Peterman — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 16:13:18 +0000

First version with ‘audio edit’ for dramatic impact: Evie’s Monster Spider [movie]

Original version ‘as is’ for people with a smaller sense of humor: Evie’s non-Monster Spider Movie

Thanks, Kailey, for helping make the movie.

Lioness Video

This is surely not viral, but I think that you’ll appreciate this lioness at the Denver Zoo last Thursday – she apparently had something to say.
