Welcome to Lucky Post:  No. 19 – Gaga For Molly Lewis.

Today I have a great video for you in honor of my 19th post.  (19 is my lucky number.)  And today, I’ll share that luck with you.

I started doing a Just For Fun post on Friday’s but I couldn’t wait for Friday to post this video.  I found it waiting for me in my Google Reader today courtesy of Wil Wheaton (pronounced with a heavy emphasis on the ‘h’, courtesy of Stewie ala Family Guy) who posted it to his blog.  (Wil is famous for Star Trek:  The Next Generation‘s Wesley Crusher character)

Wil is a full-blown nerd, and proud of it.  And he is very creative, and has very creative friends, like Molly Lewis.  They performed together at wOOtstock 1.1 in LA recently, to riotous nerd laughter (seriously the guy who recorded the podcast was near a crazy loud nerd who did the whole snorting laughter thing, and LOUD!).  These are serious nerds, who take their nerding seriously.  (Don’t mess with them or they might decide to rewrite the code to the internet and you won’t ever see your precious Twitter updates or Facebook feeds again. “Muah, muah, muah.”)

Molly is crazy funny.  And hot, in that weirdly nerdy way.  Also fun!

So, since funny came early this week, you get the Just for Fun post today.  It’s now your lucky day too.  Enjoy!

Molly Lewis does clever cover of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.”

This is creative quality in action.  Watch out world, this is your new competition.  You should be afraid.  Very afraid.

Until next time.

Peace.

-Ryan.

U.S. Marines raise the flag at Iwo Jima Memorial

U.S. Marines raise the flag at Iwo Jima Memorial

Yesterday was the 234th Birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps.  Happy Birthday Marines!

Today is Veteran’s Day.  Thank you, veterans.  Thank you veterans’ families.

Freedom is NOT free.  Freedom exacts a very high price.  The lives of our Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen, and Reservists.  Their blood, sweat, and tears are like the rain that falls on the earth to water it, so that the crop we grow in America, freedom, may grow and prosper.  If you stop watering the land, freedom dies.  No water, no life.  Period.

I hope that all of you take time to stop and reflect on the freedoms you enjoy.  And remember to thank your veterans and active duty and reservists for providing that great gift to you.

234 years ago the U.S. Marines were founded – in a tavern, no less!  I am privileged to say that I served 4 of those years.  Happy Birthday Marines!

If you are a young man or woman who is down on your luck.  Or not sure of your destiny.  Consider joining the armed forces.  You will not regret it.  In fact, you will regret NOT doing it.  I couldn’t live with that regret, so I joined.  I’m very glad I did.  There is nothing like it in this world.  And there never will be.

Semper Fi Marines!

Thank you Veterans!

Thank you Active Duty and Reservists!

Thank you America!

I like my freedom.  Very much.

God Bless Us.  Every one.

Until next time.

Peace.

-Ryan.

Anyway, I feel high like a school girl fresh from a Backstreet Boys concert.  (BTW:  BBoys – nice website!)  I’m going [...]
