I was listening to the news the other day, and there was a reference to the "millennials" or generation Y.
I was annoyed at first that I am not part of the millennial generation. (Again, I'm 36).
Then I thought about it, and quickly thought, would I really want to be a millennial? I don't think I would like it.
In summary, I'm pretty old... Not old, but old enough to make the references you see in my blog.
Happy June. Also Happy June 8.
(It is day 8 of the blogathon. It means I have to blog the whole month).

Local Singer Amber Carrington. And, Happy June
Amber Carrington is someone I read about recently, as a contestant on The Voice.
Although she recently forgot some lyrics to a Skid Row song (Gasp), she is still on the show.
When I first read about her I knew nothing, so I looked her up.
The summary: I am not a fan of the big hair, jewelry, or the high-heeled boot things. But, the Dallas area songstress has a strong, strong voice. Even if she does not win on the Voice, her voice will take her far.
Happy June.
THE END.

Blaine Knows Hair. And, An Awesome Repairman
There is an event tonight called Blaine's Color 6th Annual Hair Color Preview. It is at 7 pm. Sharp.
I don't know who Blaine is. It would not be fun for me, but if you get excited about hair color, then go!
The fee for the hair viewing is 10.00.
The event is at Sisu "resort".
Oh yeah.
I had a repairman visit the house today. He was from Sears home repair. Earlier we had a repairman, from the same place.
During the scheduled window, he did not show up... then he came 3 hours later.
But this repairman was on time, and did everything professionally. The first experience made me feel glad, now, that someone was doing their job.
The point of this is: Byron, you are an awesome repairman.
The End.

The Postal Service. And, Juanes in Dallas. Es la verdad.
Hello:
The postal service may not be what you think.
I read about this band, that was recently in Dallas, and wanted to find out more. After 2 tries, I found a song that is pretty good on You tube. The electronic-mania song is called Such Great Heights.
You must be craving Juanes:
Juanes will be in Dallas tomorrow night. It will be at the Verizon theatre in Grand Prairie ... at 8 p.m.
What I know about Juanes, is: I am a big fan. His concert in Bogota recently drew 10,000 people.
Have a good Wednesday. The End.

The Lady In The Window & My First Blog Post.
hello:
The other day I was at school (Richland College), trying to do a quick transaction. The woman helping me was maybe in her 40s, with large glasses. This was a pretty quick, straightforward thing I had to do.
The area where she works is shielded by glass. So she was shielded by glass. I assume bulletproof. I always feel weird talking to people for long periods THROUGH GLASS.
In the middle of the transaction, she said,
"Are you ok?"
Me: "Yes."
"You seem like you're mad. At me."
Huh???
When she said this, the glass made her look amorphous. There is no good ending to this, except to say, it was very odd.
moving on...
I wrote about the Baptist Generals recently. I am re-reminding you, and also reminding you that they are from Denton, Texas. This would be the "hallowed music town" of Denton Texas.
Here is a link to my first blog post.
I mentioned that the blog was started in June 2007. It was actually started in July. The first blog post is from July 26, 2007. Eerie.
THE END.
Thanks,

Troubles With A Document Box. And, Read Gloria's Awesome Blog.
Hello,
I bought a Super Stacker Document Box from Target. It is made by Advantus.
I tried to put a folder in the box, and it wouldn't fit.
So I thought, what's the point of a 'Super Stacker' Document Box, if it won't hold a folder CONTAINING documents?
On to:
My friend Gloria is the one who told me about the Blogathon, last year.
Thank you, Gloria, for telling me, and for your general awesomeness.
Make sure to take a gander at her blog, and in the process, see and buy her new book.
Thank you for reading, during the blogathon (all of June).

Clark Gable Catches Cheaters. And How To Have A Simple Day.
Day 2, will she keep going?
I watched the show, Cheaters, yesterday. This is filmed in Dallas.
It is a combination of bad television and a really great, delicious movie. Of course, I couldn't stop watching.
New item:
Here are some words which will help you have a simple day.

Ed Sheeran: Whine, Whine. And Hold Your Newspaper. Love Your Newspaper.
Hello all:
Today marks the first day of the blogathon. This means I could be writing every day for a month!
New topic:
I heard recently that Ed Sheeran was the opening act for Taylor Swift in Dallas, Texas at Cowboys' Stadium. I did not know about him. So I looked him up. I am not impressed by the whiny British boy.
New topic:
I was in Whataburger. I heard a song, "Gimmie That Girl."
I looked it up, and it is by Joe Nichols. In the song he asks, "Gimmmie that girl in a cute shirt and a pair of jeans..."
And, that's all he needs.
I guess for some people, it doesn't take much to please.
Finally:
Many newspapers have been shutting down, in the past few years.
While people are becoming accustomed to this, unfortunately, let's not lose our penchant for reading the morning paper. When newspapers go, an important part of our culture is dying off. Here is one that is closing. It is a church-related paper, but it is still important. A story in the Dallas Morning News.
Have a great day.
The END.
