Christie’s Rocks the Auction World
I just recently got interested in auctions, after Eric Clapton auctioned off his most famous guitars Brownie and Blackie. Also, George Harrison’s rosewood Fender Telecaster, and then John Lennon’s piano that he composed the song “Imagine” on. So I started browsing through sites like Christie’s, and found some amazing things.
Keith Moon’s Premier five-piece drum kit from 1968 sold for $215,000 in London’s pop memorabilia auction in September 2004, which set another world record for the highest price paid for a set of drums at an auction.
Christie’s set a new world auction record for Eric Clapton’s 1956 Fender Stratocaster [...]

Remembering Our Brave Soldiers & Servicemen
On this Memorial Day, it just felt like it was time to take a moment and recognize those brave souls who have served in our military here at home and in our armed forces around the world. May God Bless you and your families. It breaks my heart to see the news stories of how many soldiers we have lost to war, and how their loved ones and families struggle to survive. Even worse, how our own government falls short to care and provide for our veterans.
It is heart warming to read stories like this, about [...]

Happy Mother’s Day Mom
Dear Mom,
On this Mother’s Day, I remember your ever present smile, your quick wit and wonderful sense of humor.
It’s that sense of humor that I carry with me every single day, and with it, your loving memory of affection, caring and love.
Thank You for helping me through each day, with just a little more endurance and grace.
I Love You. May God Bless You and keep you within his love. I’ll see you again someday and we’ll rejoice in heaven.
Love Always & Forever,

House of Blues opens in Dallas
The House of Blues just opened in Dallas; last week on the 8th of May. Dan Aykroyd, aka Elwood Blues of The Blues Brothers, kicked off the debut party. The Hard Rock Cafe closed it’s doors, and then the House of Blues opened up. I’ve always said that when one door closes, another door opens.
It’s just good karma, man.
Top40-charts.com reports:
Live Nation, the world’s largest live music company, opened it’s 11th House of Blues in Dallas, Texas. The new venue includes a 1,625 capacity music hall, a 400 seat restaurant, special events facilities, a company store and a Foundation Room [...]

The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
I’ve been feeling overworked and stressed out for some time now. You know it’s bad when the symptoms creep into your daily life and reach out to slap you in the face. Oh, little things like finding yourself obsessing over some small trivial thing, or getting all hung up over something that normally wouldn’t even get your attention.
I realize I’m an information junkie. I try to watch or at least listen to the TV news while sorting through 500 email messages in two different inboxes, and browsing 100 RSS feeds. Not to mention posting to each [...]

Supernova SN 2006gy
Supernova SN 2006gy; story from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory:
The brightest stellar explosion ever recorded may be a long-sought new type of supernova, according to observations by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ground-based optical telescopes.
“This was a truly monstrous explosion, a hundred times more energetic than a typical supernova,” said Nathan Smith of the University of California at Berkeley, who led a team of astronomers from California and the University of Texas in Austin. ” That means the star that exploded might have been as massive as a star can get, about 150 times that of our sun. We’ve never [...]
