  • Just looking at the song of the decade trending topics. You people do realize that a decade is 10 years right? Wonderwall does not count! #
  • 99 Problems by Jay-Z #songofthedecade #
  • Wow, just spent a good bit of time reading articles on digg. I usually try to avoid it because it feels like a time pit. #
  • @heyitsrachel Did you ever get that email I sent about the logo design? My client would really like an estimate if you have the time. #
  • Just listened to some “mash-up” music on youtube. Nelly mixed with ACDC is really good. Nirvana mixed with Lady GaGa is really bad. #
  • http://twitpic.com/w1i64 - Chick magnet! #
  • 2 days and 3 hours until this sucky year is over. It can’t happen soon enough. #
  • Its so outside of my age bracket but I can’t help but love Fall Out Boy. #
  • Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. - H.L. Mencken #
  • iPhone, we need to talk. Why won’t you recieve push ANYTHING! I’ve got it turned. The exchange server works. So what’s your problem huh?!? #
  • @niennawolf Ninja please! The iPhone is the best phone/portable device ever. #
  • @niennawolf I’ve tried both. The droid has a lot of nice features but the iphones interface is SO much better. Apple > Google right now. #
  • A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there. - H.L. Mencken #
  • @niennawolf Yesterday! I just had to know what the big deal was. I still don’t get it. #
  • I usually try to be good to the enviroment, but today it’s so cold I am going to burn dinosaurs like it’s going out of style. #
  • Why do cats like to lay on crunchy stuff? Do they know something we don’t? #
  • Real-time google searches are great. Saw tweets about Urban Meyer resigning and google it, BAM! Real time info. Take THAT print media! #
  • Finally found my old RAZR. Now if its battery still holds a charge I’ll finally be able to send my iphone back to apple. #iphonedetox #
  • Testing Microsoft Security Essentials. Its fast, small, free, and ACTUALLY WORKS! This is not the Microsoft I grew up with, but I like it! #
  • @heyitsRachel Alright, I sent an email to that address you gave. Get back with me when you can so I can let the dude know. #
  • I am getting so tired of this slow connection. 1.5mb Just does not cut it anymore. MY KINGDOM FOR BANDWIDTH! #

I love this song and one day I would really like to see TSO live. Until then I’ll just watch this guys great home lighting set up. Merry Christmahanakwanzika everyone!

  • New Blog Post: Last Minutes with ODEN http://bit.ly/8GMfvQ (YOU WILL CRY!) #
  • @niennawolf I’m not addicted to WOW. I only play socially, and maybe a quick raid in the AM to get me going. I can stop whenever I want. :) #
  • @TerryJaymes Because you said you like dogs, documentaries, and crying. http://bit.ly/765eFy #
  • Oh man, I have to get up even earlier than normal tomorrow. Come on 2010, only 10 more days. I expect big things from you! #

Last Minutes with ODEN

Posted by 2toad

I don’t have the words to describe how powerful this little six minute youtube video is. The best I can do is tell you that this is a documentary about the last minutes Jason Wood spent with his best friend Oden. Its shot incredibly well, but more than that, they are able to capture this mans life and the pain he experiences in doing what he feels has to be done. I normally try not to get too serious here, but this clip touched me. I have to tell you as someone who has had to say goodbye to his friend in this manner, it was probably the most difficult thing I ever had to do. There is a span of time during this act where you literally watch the life drain from their eyes. It is horrible to be a part of and something you can never forget. Our best friends deserve to be remembered and Jason has made sure that I as a complete stranger will remember his pal Oden.

The video is below. (YOU WILL CRY!)
