Well, maybe this could be the ending with nothing left of you A hundred wishes couldn't say I don't want to And as we sit here alone Looking for a reason to go on It's so clear that all we have now Are our thoughts of yesterday La La La La... It's so clear that all we have now Are thoughts of yesterday The song of the week is brought to you by Michael Zampelli, former owner of Southern California punk rock icon, Zed Records.

Noel Gallagher of Oasis Pushed by a Heckler – a Victimology Lesson

In Victimology class we talk about how the actions of one person impacts many. This video is a perfect example. It would be tempting and common to look at this video and get caught in the drama. It would be easy to judge it and analyze it. I challenge you to do this: notice, that in a crowd of thousands, only one punk guy caused the whole problem. One guy put a halt to a concert and created negative vibes for thousands of people. Sometimes we forget to look at the big picture because we are zeroed in on the drama. We fail to realize how much we have in common, how powerful unity could be. Please take a moment to consider it. Just for laughs :)

Me for President: A Great Example of Virual Marketing Success

Missing Russian Tortoise signs plastered on phone poles is one thing but a streaming video that can be played worldwide is quite another. Did you know I'm running for president? Well, neither did I. It turns out someone nominated me and I'm winning the Internet vote by a landslide. Watch the video for details. I'll have to admit. The potential for misunderstanding here really reminds me of War of the Worlds. In this digital world where everything can be remastered it is more important than ever to remember the old maxim, "don't believe everything you see".
