HERE'S TO YOU THURSDAY

Last night, while I wasn't sleeping, I fretted about today's post. Let me tell you, that just about never happens. Usually, it is a work in progress all week long. Well, the lack of regular posting due to the holiday really messed with my Thursday blog. I had a few ideas, but not really enough to put together a decent post. After twenty minutes of worry, I turned on my light, fired up my laptop, and scrolled through my Google Reader. It was about 12:30am. Can I tell you how much I hate being up at that time of night wide awake, with sleep nowhere in sight? I don't think I have to tell you. I trust that you have a grasp on the obvious.

For about ten minutes I entertained the idea of going with a bunch of hilarious footage that pertained to none of you, but cleared more footage out of my favorites. *sigh* I just couldn't do it. So, I stuck with Google Reader and youtube. By 3am, I had a list and I was tired. Two birds, one stone.

If you don't know what I am talking about, you must be new. It is that day again. What day is that you ask? How can you have forgotten? Drum roll please. It is HERE'S TO YOU THURSDAY, of course! The very best day of the blogging week. It is the precursor to the best day of the work week.

To recap for any newbies to this event: The best (or worst) part is that I am not going to explain why I chose "whatever" footage for each of you. If, you watch your footage and are scratching your head at the end, well that means I didn't do a very good job. However, all is not lost. You can email me at rarichards68@gmail.com and ask me what I was thinking when I chose that particular piece of footage off of youtube and connected it to you. And then I will tell you. Then I will start sending up prayers that I haven't offended the crap out of whoever is on the receiving end of that email....lol. Because, honestly, I will tell you right now... I admire all of you enormously so I really hope that doesn't happen.

Also, this is not an exclusive venture by any means. I hope that you will take the time to watch ALL of the footage because I don't pick bad footage:-) I also hope that you might check out the blog of the person I dedicated the footage to because they are pretty darn awesome. If you haven't figured this out yet... I pick the footage based on something that you've written or something that I've gleaned from your personality. Think on that for a while... If you are having trouble watching the entire video (meaning it is being cut off on one side), click on it a couple of times and it will take you straight over to youtube. If you click on the four squares at the bottom corner of the video, it will enlarge it to fill your screen. The escape key will bring it back to normal size. The back arrow will bring you back to my page. Of course, you will have to deal with this all over again: Lastly, don't forget to turn off my music player at the bottom of the page. Sorry for the inconvenience.
