I know it probably sounds strange to those who know me, but I have decided to learn how to play the guitar. It all started when I got a guitar for my birthday... actually, hang on.. let me back up even further. REALLY it all started when I was designing a Guitar Lessons website to turn around and sell. As I was watching the guitar tutorial videos I thought to myself, "hey, I could do that!"

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I find myself wandering back here so that I can share a cool site for any movie buffs out there. The site is called FlixRay.com and it features a huge database of movie reviews and movie trailers. It also has a pretty active movie forum to talk about the latest films, blockbuster releases and dvd videos... or just any general chatter for that matter.Also,

And just for the record... another great site for funny videos is Mediabum.com. A highly recommended site to visit for a large variety of stupid videos, crazy videos funny pictures and pretty much anything you can imagine!

And one more thing... for those of you who run your own website. If you are interesting in adding a Free Map to your website, you need to check out Map Swift . This free map website offers an extremely easy step-by-step process for generating code that will easily enable you to add a Google Map or satellite image to your website without requiring any code knowledge.

Finally bit the bullet and decided to upgrade my blogginess (new word, please add to dictionary). You should probably get with the program and update your bookmarks to now point to http://www.marydunne.com, as I will no longer be updating this site, and that could lead to nothing but huge disappointments and bouts of depression for those that aren't going to the new site.And as the new site

We have company over tonight - some of my roommates family members. It's midnight, everyone's in bed...except me of course. So the house is quiet and I have to pee. The closest restroom is in the hallway right outside the bedroom door where our guests are staying. So me, in my infinite wisdom, decide that I'll just go ahead and use the bathroom and pee quietly. How do you pee quietly? I

So many thoughts... so little organization. Okay, so I'm the first to admit that I've been nothing short of a lazy slug when it comes to blogging. (For that matter, are there truly any slugs that aren't lazy?) But it's one of those nights where I just feel like thinking out loud. For anyone that has read any of my brief blogages (yes, new word... please jot down in your notes).. you realize

Not feeling very motivated to write much of anything.... but figured I should at least post something in here so people quit emailing me asking me if I'm dead from the last hurricane post. If I'm dead, how would I email you a response? You know that emails from the great beyond are prone to bounce or end up in spam filters!

It's Friday night nearing 10pm. Hurricane Jeanne is predicted to make landfall in Fort Pierce at approximately 2am Sunday morning. Looks like it's going to be another bumpy ride. I got home from work around 6:30pm today and dug right into the hurricane preparations. Most the windows have already been boarded up - we've got two front windows and the front door that we'll do tomorrow. We

What the @#$@? Not again... Hopefully it's still early enough that the computer models will shift away from the east coast of Florida. What a ride it's been this year. Well, at least I won't have to worry about my screen porch blowing down any more. :) Oh, and the every third hurricane streak may now be over. Here's how it's panned out for Florida impacted hurricanes this year: Alex...Bonnie

Well, we made it through the storm with only mild damage. But most importantly - we made it through the storm! The screen enclosure surrounding our pool came crashing down. It laid over the pool and in the yard. To see how the winds twisted and ripped the aluminum was impressive to say the least. It was a twisted mess still somewhat connected together. The funny part is that with everything that

Well, it's quite obvious that I haven't had a lot to write about lately. Tonight I do. I guess it's nothing more than a way to vent some plain old fashioned fear. Hurricane Frances is churning away right now working it's way towards the states. Living in South Florida, this is really nothing too new... but this is the first time I can honestly say I'm worried. Here's why: As it stands

Dunkin, my one year old jack russell terrier, has overcome his fear of diving into the pool with flying colors! The only hitch to this is that we've created a monster. Now he's obsessed with being in the pool - at all times. The days of carelessly floating on the pool float with only the whispers of a soft breeze and the dangling of toes in the cool, refreshing water are over. Any attempt

This complaint is nothing new: Telemarketers. I appreciate the fact that these people are simply making a living. I'm sure they have bills to pay and mouths to feed just like the rest of us. That doesn't change the fact that they annoy the hell out of me. Take tonight for example. I will be going in to work tonight at 10pm. I made an attempt around 7:30pm to lay down and possibly get a

You ever notice how guys refer to their friends as "buddies"? Women don't do that. We don't have buddies - we have girlfriends. Imagine your burly male co-worker telling you that after work he's "going to the bar with his boyfriends". You'd undoubtedly be asking him for decorating tips and buying him broadway show tickets for Christmas. Heterosexual women can hold hands and nobody thinks

Dear fellow lover of car audio, Thank you for taking the time to break into my car last night. I hope that my amp and subwoofer are to your liking. The sad truth of the matter is that (as far as I could tell) the subwoofer is blown and the left channel of the amp went all shades of screwy. Hopefully you will have better luck with it than I did. Truthfully, I actually appreciate how neatly

I'm watching the news the other night and in the background of one of their interviews I spot a cashier in a partial lean against the counter flipping through the pages of a magazine. "Productivity at it's finest", I thought to myself. Although in all honesty, if I was 20 again (OH if I was 20 again!!!) I can't guarantee that I wouldn't be doing the same thing. But I digress here.... So I'm

Finally. I thought the day would never come - or that I wouldn't be able to hang on until it did. My favorite reality show, Big Brother, returns on CBS. Funny thing is that when reality shows first became the big thing (with the launch of Survivor), I was appalled. I wanted nothing to do with them and couldn't believe that society had sunk to such a low level of entertainment. Then along

I don't know what made me think of it. Last night I laid down in bed ready to go to sleep - and out of nowhere *whap* it smacks me upside the head: http://www.halfthedeck.com/html/Peas-Treaty.html I mean, seriously, who thinks about peas when they're trying to go to sleep? I don't even like peas - or most vegetables for that matter. Mom, just how many times did you drop me on my head during

Two weeks ago today, I was uprooted from my familiar home soil in South Florida to fly out to San Diego California. The weather was perfect - a beautiful 85 degrees, with no humidity (which is quite unfamiliar to me now that I've lived in South Florida for some time). My co-worker and I had been flown out there to give a presentation at a meeting being held at the Hotel del Coronado. Our

I've Gone Mad So my family pretty much thinks I've lost my marbles. None of them have computers, so every once in a while I'll take the time to print out some of the Half The Deck cartoons I've scribbled out. I've managed to get a pretty good chuckle out of them since I started this little hobby of mine. This last one seemed to hit a particular funny bone - but also has convinced them that any

Vacation Blues Today marks the last day of a week long vacation. I've been now reduced to the hourly countdown. I have approximately 7 more waking hours to enjoy the fact that I'm not at work. I'm nearly to the point of trying to think of boring things to do just to ensure the time moves as slowly as possible. By tomorrow at this time, it will be as though my vacation never existed and I'll

It had to happen sooner or later My first blog entry commences today. Guess it beats scribbling down the random spatters of thoughts down on napkins and post-it pads (that inevitably end up in the trash anyway).
