American Idol

Why do people still try out for american idol? Why do people even watch american idol?

I just wasted five minutes of my life watching the fools that think they can sing embarrass themselves on (multi)national TV.

I can not sing - not very well at least. I know I can not sing.
Even if I did not know that I can not sing, my friends, family and who ever is left would laugh if I said I was going to try and get a record contract.

But yet all these people show up to be laughed at publicly with tape rolling.

oh well....

do they have a sound guy idol? hmmm

Free the software... Free the software

Geek Alert

For those of you that love free software.... THIS is the logest list I have ever seen

I've already downloaded some stuff that I never knew about...

no, really I'm designing sound systems righ now - I am.... really

Will the real Tim Good please stand up

I get a lot of email some days.
Some days, some of it doesn't make sense... and no, I'm not talking about Alan Waugh (sorry inside joke) Today it was one of those days

I got the following:

Hello Everyone! I hope for those of you who are here in the area that you are enjoying this most fabulous weather we are having!

I am looking for a few people who would be willing to share special music with us during song service Sunday, coming up in two weeks. This could be anything from playing piano to singing in a quartet to singing a solo, etc. Please don't be shy about volunteering either. I know I sometimes feel kind of strange offering to sing, but we have gifts that God gave us to share with others and if you feel led to do that then by all means, bring it on! J

You can email me or talk to me in church on Sunday if you are interested. Also, if you do not want to receive these Taftsville group communication emails, please let me know.

Respectfully,

Bekah

First, I don't think I know a Bekah... and when I examined the addresses I didn't know anyone. (Not even the Randy & Carie Good) But I did notice my name and my gmail address
Some lucky spamer will now put 2 and 2 together..... crap

I guess somewhere in Taftsville, Vermont there is another Tim Good... who can possibly sing or play some none-bass-dwelling instrument. That people would actually like to hear played solo
Insert Bass solo here.

But it's scary interesting to think of how many Tim Good's are out there....
not counting
this guy
this guy or
this guy

Ok they can count...
but just so no one forgets, I'm this one!














Oh and Bekah.... you can take me off the mailing list :)

oh never mind

I was asked today how I keep so much useless important information in my head.

I don't know.

I can't find my keys if they are not where I left them.
I alway leave the milk on the counter and the stove on when the food is done.
and don't ask me what my postal code is.

but I rock a trivia games and impressing people who don't rember stuff.

I just thought eveyone knew The data track on a CD is a long spiral. If it were unwound and laid out in a straight line, it would be over 3.5 miles long.

I threw in a touch of G33|{

a letter to the Emerging church

This letter has some interesting points - feel free to comment.

"I'm a boomer but I really like emergents. Really. Most of the responses to my columns are from emergents and of course all of my students fit this age group. I like emergents - perhaps too much. Recently I was asked how I'd fare if I left the classroom and had to jump into pastoring. My response: “I'd probably do OK with those under 30 but I might be ineffective with the older more traditional people.” I spend just about all of my time with emergents and I really like you a lot."

In the light of what we are trying to do with The Gig I think we not even in the scope of the warnings... Shoot the "gather to be real" is kind of hard if you don't have the assembly. And I personally don't understand how you drop Jesus out of Christianity.... comment away

Gentlemen, Start Your Mass Chaos

Ok folks this made me laugh for sure.

branthansen:
"Gentlemen, Start Your Mass Chaos

This so messed-up.

There's this guy, uh, 'Dave', who has an idea he thinks would actually work for a reality TV show to air next month.

Dave thinks reality TV is so boring, so cliche, that it needs something to shake it up. I'm ashamed of Dave's idea. How tasteless can you get?

Dave says America would go for this. I, of course, say no way, our country has not sunk this low. He thinks it would get great ratings. I think he's on drugs for even coming up with this idea for a show:

It’s the night before the Daytona 500. All the NASCAR fans are parked in their RV’s, partying it up in the infield before the race. It’s crowded and festive.

In comes a garish, pink RV, with flashing pink lights. It has flowers on it, and California license plates. It takes its place in the center of the action. Ten guys flamboyantly come out, wearing pink cut-offs and tight outfits and stuff. Then they unfurl a huge, easily-read sign.

The sign has a big pink number “3” on it, in familiar NASCAR font. The sign also says: “HE WAS ONE OF US.”

Viewers are clued in ahead of time that the ten guys are actually plants: the ten highest-rated martial arts experts in the U.S. But none of the NASCAR fans knows that. We just watch the evening develop. Live.

Dave says don't even tell him you wouldn't watch that. Yes, there are insurance issues. Yes, the pink guys would have to have to be wearing Kevlar polos or something. And yes, it’s tasteless, which is why I’m so ashamed of Dave for conceiving this. I’m right there with you, pretty dang offended.

I worry about Dave's mind sometimes.

Sicko."

One more Election post today

Angry in the Great White North:
"The Globe and Mail has officially announced its endorsement of Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada.

In the endorsement, it explains the reasons to vote for Stephen Harper and against voting for Paul Martin:

Mr. Martin himself has shifted all over the map in recent years — on ballistic missile defence, on same-sex marriage, on the Clarity Act. In the run-up to the election in June of 2004, we wrote: “We wish Mr. Martin had afforded himself the opportunity of an 18-month tryout before going to the polls. Now the voters have the opportunity to impose a probationary period themselves.”

Mr. Martin did not pass that 18-month probation. He doesn't deserve the public's opprobrium, or an electoral wipeout, but neither has he earned the right to a fifth Liberal term. A spell out of power would give the Liberals the time they so clearly need to renew themselves.

In that same 2004 editorial, we characterized Mr. Harper as “a product of Central Canadian caution and Alberta's can-do frontier mentality.” But, noting his propensity to “respond to challengers withquiet contempt and truculence,” we expressed doubt that he had “matured into a truly national leader.”

There is greater reason to feel comfortable with Mr. Harper today. He has shown himself to be an intelligent man and one, in this campaign at least, who has learned to master his emotions. He has gained control of a party inclined to fly off in all directions, moved it to the centre and proposed a reasonable if imperfect governing platform. His targeted tax measures are measured, his defence policies are sound, and his approach to waiting times is worth experimenting with.

His pledge not to use the notwithstanding clause on same-sex marriage provides some comfort, as does his promise not to reopen the abortion debate. In both cases, he has demonstrated a deft political touch, giving something to his base but leaving himself ample political room to steer clear of unn"
