If you are in Moldova hit me up either in the comments or the contact me link above. My church has a non-profit called Justice and Mercy International that works with kids in Moldova. They are starting a transitional living home for girls 16-20 y/o that are transitioning out of the orphanage and into the real world in hopes of keeping them from the sex trade.

I have been given the duty to research internet options for the home in Chişinău and I of course have no idea where to begin… So please hit me up and let me know what the options are in the area and what some of the costs are and which ones to stay away from.

Thanks!

We just posted over at SpotOn!’s blog about what we do for the Earth… go take a read

Thanks!

The guys at StuffWhitePeopleLike have outdone themselves again. Their latest entry is #93 Music Piracy. This is one that made me cringe it was so accurate! :-)

So I ordered some letterhead and envelopes from VistaPrint about 2 months ago. I know that they have really good quality and that there are some quirks to their system… such as there is ZERO QA when it comes to their printing and you basically have to get them to reprint your order if there is ever an issue such as color etc. I have gotten business cards done and 1 set will be perfect and the other will be TOTALLY washed out. You just can’t beat their price for 4/c anything. It is worth the back-and-forth. They have been really nice about getting the order reprinted and would usually 2-day them regardless of your original shipping method.

the letterhead turned out nice but the envelopes were shifted and the bleed didn’t bleed like it was suppose to. I normally call but this time I decided just to submit my compliant via their email form since I don’t really need the letterhead until I do a mail out sometime end of April.

So I get the standard “Thank you for your email” auto-response but didn’t hear anything back from them. I didn’t think much about it since i have been busy on other things and then 2 days ago I get this email:

The letterhead looks great but the envelopes are about an 1/8th of an inch off. The flap was suppose to have a bleed and does in the document but there is a white line along the left side when it was printed. Please reprint the envelopes.

Ok so that was the entire email… something look funny to you? Yeah the email they claim to not have is at the bottom of their email. Um ok. So you weren’t able to recover my email yet you were able to reply with it? WTF?

yeah… someone needs to smack them upside the head.

Happy St. Patty’s day. May the luck of the Irish bless you all year long.

So many wonderful memories of StPD… Guess it comes from playing in an Irish named but not Irish cover band. We always had a great gig on 3/17 since everyone wanted The Tom Foolery Band on their flyers.

And here is a funny…

So I am very intrigued by the human psychology behind fame and what makes someone “famous”. I was flipping through the channels and watched about 45 seconds of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and thought “Am I suppose to know who these people are?” and then my next thought was “What the Heck? Is that Bruce Jenner!?” Sure ’nuff it was so I had to Google… oddly enough the 45 seconds I watched was them discussing the fact that Kim was the most googled person that month. I think it is because nobody knows who these people are and they have to google them to find out.

So I google and I find this. It appears that they are all the offspring of O.J.’s lawyer, Robert Kardashian, and that really was Bruce Jenner the olympian who married the mother.

So my question is… what makes people famous? We are a nation of, as Perez Hilton would call them, Celebutards; Celebrities who are celebrities for no reason whatsoever.

Baffles me!

Brooke White

So when did American Idol start letting singers actually play instruments? I am watching for the first time this year and that Brooke White girls is pretty good. She just did Let It Be and it was awesome.

What do you think?

Mariah Carey’s new video for Touch My Body just dropped and it is hilarious!

I want to be the guy who pitched this treatment… “Ok so Geek Squad shows up at her door and then there is a unicorn and guitar hero… and then it ends with Mariah saying ‘802.11n’” Hot!
