Speedcat's New Years Party Location Recommendations & TV Appearance with Pat

. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Dave Letterman Show making light of Pat Robertson and Speedcat Hollydale at the Blogging Sumit for responsible content laws

Look! It's David Letterman. Thanks Olga - you the BEST!!!!

Speedcat's New Years Party Location Recommendations Where to go, where to go? Many out there still have no idea where they should go to celebrate the new year. I have had many and countless requests to do a listing of my current party location spots for the blogging public. Here you will find something for everyone, and hopefully the greatest night of your life. These are my picks!!
_______________________________________________________________

Speedcat's New Years Party Location Recommendations Times Square... this is for the person that loves to be crammed in a small space and get pushed around. It is cold, crazy, and downright insane - but you could end up on TV. I think this makes the travel and pick-pocketing well worth while. You will also have bragging rights at work the next time you make it in...


Speedcat's New Years Party Location Recommendations Here at the Bamm Boo Tiki Bar, you can wear your Speedo, and be close to the beach. New Year's specials include the "Bamm Package" which includes a Polynesian style banquet and party favors.
If you are shy, skip this one. Lets move on....


Speedcat's New Years Party Location Recommendations For a little wild and woolly adventure, try the Pee Wee Biker Bar. They are offering a jug-o-whiskey and cigarette package for 12 dollars. You must sign a legal waiver to participate. If you love to fight and swear.... this is YOUR DREAM COME TRUE.


Speedcat's New Years Party Location Recommendations There is an underground rave New Years party at 501 E Lancaster. You pay 20.00 at the door, and receive garbage pale punch and hats. There is no dress code at this party, so if you are wondering what to wear, this could be celebration headquarters for you. Reservations are not required!

Speedcat's New Years Party Location Recommendations If you yell and scream all the time, this is your party location. You are allowed to kiss anyone, throw non-sharpened objects, and pour beer on your friends. Not for the faint of heart, this is for the wild branded nut cases of New Years. You have a good chance of getting on TV going here too, it will just be on the local news headlines.


Speedcat's New Years Party Location Recommendations For a quiet night of raw fish and plum wine, try the Geisha Sushi Bar in Albert Lea MN. They have wrap around rubber-backed booths with divider panels for a little privacy. This is great for the novice and the romantic. You might sneak in a smootchie smootchie when your date or loved one least expects it. New Years packages start at 400 dollars.

There you have "Speedcat's New Years Party 2008" recommendations! If you need further assistance with finding the right party near your town, give me a call at 1-800-SPEEDCATRAVEL.

What will I be doing at midnight, January 1st? Staying in my house away from all of the lunitics out there. Pass the sparkling apple cider please!



Special thanks to my friend Olga for the Letterman picture :-)

New Years Resolutions... or NOT?



This is one of the "great memes" that can bring some big improvement to your total links and to your Technorati authority. If you are not tagged, and would like to participate, feel free to join in! The rules are simple, just copy and paste at the markers, and add your link.




*Start Copy Here*
When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions we seem to fall into four categories: 1) quite serious about them, 2) be flippant about them, 3) do it because we feel pressured to, or 4) do not do them. So, the purpose of this little game is to let us know which category you are in. Copy from “*Start Copy Here*” through “*End Copy Here*” and post it. Before "*End Copy Here*" tell us who you are, your site(s) (with link) and your New Year’s Resolution, or not.
Then tag as many others as you like, from one to your entire blogroll, your choice.
If you like, create an intro paragraph to your post that also acknowledges who tagged you.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS:

Juliana – Juliana's Site - My New Year's resolutions are looking for a part time job, keep blogging, and learn to cook and bake.
Michelle - Rusin Roundup - 1. Learn to be happier and accept myself for who I am, 2. Is to lose about 25 lbs., and 3. Is to stop smoking.
Karen - Grow Rich Along With Me - My resolution for next year is to achieve $3K per month passive income by the end of 2008.
Mel - Attitude, the Ultimate Power & Complain Complain Complain - “I don’t need no stinking resolutions.” I never hold to them anyway so why frustrate myself by starting them now.
Sandee - Comedy Plus - I don't need no stinking resolutions either. Years and years ago I did them because everyone else did, but not once did I follow through. Why set yourself up for failure?
Lynda - lynda's loft - My resolution is to see resolve to that which needs resolution. Like Mel and Sandee, I feel that resolutions give us more stress, however, being a person who sets goals each year, isn't that the same thing as a resolution??? Goals vs. resolutions? Goals are more general and allow for more time to complete them, a resolution requires a mind-set and immediate action, which is not always feasible... Well, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it...
Amelia - Amel's Realm - This is a list of my New Year's Resolution: 1. Health: Continue exercising twice a week, eat enough veggies and fruit, have enough rest, take vitamin C regularly and women's multivitamin during my period. 2. Spiritual: Improve my Daily Bread reading routine and my prayer life and learn more from God's Word. 3. Financial: Continue to make money online (my goal is getting €100 per month at least), be more creative in writing posts, and save most of the money. 4. General Life: Continue to learn Finnish AND practice it as best and often as I can, try out more baking and cooking recipes, continue to maintain and share positive thoughts, continue to learn to control my thoughts, continue to learn to catch myself before I start complaining and count my blessings instead, continue to stop and cherish all the little moments in life that oftentimes go unnoticed, and continue to feed my inner child and last but not least, continue to ENJOY my life thoroughly.
Max - MAX - My New Year's resolutions are to dedicate more time to my friends; to finally be able to read "Der Spiegel" in German; to be calm when organizing my marriage; to go one last time to my favourite club and dance the night away; and continue to be happy!
Eric - Speedcat Hollydale - I love chicken. Problem is that I really never get to have enough chicken! My New Year's resolution is to enact "Chicken Tuesday". On this day I will eat only chicken, blog about chicken, and promote chickens all over the world. (hormone free) Join me, won't you?
Netster - Netster’s Blog - My New Year resolution is to “FAIL” more! I am learning the new meaning of “Failing” to succeed in life! That’s including blogging! *hehehe*
Marzie - Mariuca & Mariuca's Perfume Gallery - My resolution for 2008 is to enjoy a healthier lifestyle and to expand my Perfume Collection.
Sindi- Life Is A Roller Coaster - My resolution is to complain less, pray more and be a little more thankful for what I have.
Judy - Sugar Queen's Dream - My New Year's resolution is: To take better care of my health. To eat better, well at least 3 meals a day, I'm lucky these days if I stop for one meal a day.... To help make the world a better place to live, I love the human race, but think there’s always room for change. To be generous until it hurts. To live each day as if it's my last. To make a book of our personal family recipes and traditions for each of my 3 my children, so that the traditions and family cooking can be passed on in my family line long after I'm gone and finally....... To help more with the local Human society, Animals like little kids can not fend for themselves so it's up to each of us to take care of our pets and to step in and care for all animals..... I hope that through me I can encourage my Children to be better adults and in turn to raise the Children they have or will have, to be good people with good, sound & solid values.... Peace!
Adrian - First Time Dad - My New Year’s Resolution for 2008 is to be a better father…now I don’t usually make New Year's resolutions because I never keep them but this one I better keep! Happy New Year to one and all!
Colin - Life - New Years Resolution? No way...Better to achieve more throughout the year rather than pander to the whims of a one day 'wishful thought'
Mauro - 1 Million Love Messages - My resolution for next year are: 1. Change my job (maybe work online). I'm really unhappy in the actual one. 2. Dedicate more time to my family and girlfriend... maybe start to get ready for our wedding :-) 3. Work hard in 1 Million Love Messages and reach 2500 Love messages (or more) in the end of 2008.
MidgetManOfSteel - Mental Poo - To get out of dealing with people who I have no desire in helping at the job I’m doing…catch the eye of someone who can see that I can write and be funny…and get my own ticket to happiness from my humor….and a Ferrari. While I’m doing this, I resolve to get a Ferrari.
Stacy - Stacy - My New Year’s Resolution for 2008 - Is to be more understanding to my children and to other people, Not to curse at others while I am driving, try to eat right and exercise, try to volunteer in my community, and to believe more in my spiritual side.
Jason - DatCurious.com & DatMoney.com - Although, I normally don't do New Year's Resolutions (because I find it as an excuse to actually do something I should've already been doing), this year I will plan on giving back to the blogging community, especially my audience. I'm not sure how I will do it yet, but I definitely will.
Kesa - Little Aussie Cynic - My New Years Resolution is the standard..... to finally get off the smokes and to loose 8kg.... both which are possible just difficult.....Happy New Year to you and yours….Aussie
Ann - A Nice Place in the Sun - "To let the rest of my life begin as soon as possible."
Scotty - HOT USA Trends Today - Try to create value for people from my blog. Traffic, Earnings the secondary objectives will follow.
Soulfull - Soulfull of Thoughts & Remembering Rhythm and Blues - 1. Strive for patience, 2. Strive for freedom, 3. Strive for adventure 4. And above else, to thine own self be true
*End Copy Here*


Lets see who is making those resolutions :-)

Cool & Crazy Bloggers

Bloggers that are Cool and Crazy ?? NoDirectOn (not: NoDirection) by Jos has a new award.
Here is what the creator has to say....

"I have created this award badge as a clear signal to the visitors of those blogs that carry it. It is intended to be a sign that says: "this blog is cool & crazy, and the blog owner is not afraid to admit it".It is for those bloggers that I think are really Cool -- and I suspect they are a little Crazy too.They are running their blogs to be a true reflection of their own personality and they stick to it. They are providing an atmosphere that makes their visitors feel welcome as members of their blogs' community. They manage to use the right tone of voice, write about an inspiring choice of subjects and treat their visitors and their fellow bloggers as friends. And they all do that without taking themselves or their blogs too serious, in spite of all the time and the crazy hard work they put into it."

I really like the wording Jos has used. I feel very honored to be one of the people that received this great award - THANKS JOS!!!


Here is a list of the blogs that won awards at NoDirectOn (not: NoDirection)

Elephants in the Jungles of Burma


Elephants in the Jungles of Burma Here I am riding my elephant "Brandy Jack" in the jungles of Burma. After the holidays, I needed to travel the globe and see the sites. I will be seeking lost treasure, and looking for a new bride. Although there is much danger and mosquitoes with large bodies, the trek will be grand and fruitful. My reward will be knowing the secrets of Kundingdangchoo.... and there I will find inner peace.
My adventure awaits!!!!!

Angels on the Second Floor

Angels come in two forms, spirit and human. I spent some time this Christmas with "both" in a second floor hospital room.
I was informed that my mother needed surgery this morning. Everything went fine, and she is doing well.
Later we talked of love and life, guidance, powers of positive thought, and learning from mistakes. Life is never perfect, and can be so fragile at times. Who we are, and what we represent, are the true measures of one's soul. Spending time on Christmas in a health-care facility is not what anyone would ever hope for, yet it is reality to many. What I learned today is that place and time are never important, it is the feeling and connection. I am blessed with the most kind and gentle mother that was ever placed here on Earth. I love her so much. She is an angel to me, and many others were there to carry us along.
This was not the quintessential Christmas day that is portrayed in a Norman Rockwell picture, but I believe that my present was the best one could receive. For that, I am forever grateful.

Walking in the Snow

Santa has begun his journey around the planet delivering toys to children and a few "nice" adults. You can see what part of air space that the sleigh is currently traveling by clicking "Earth Tracker". Ohh look! Rudolph is feeling better - and is in front guiding the way..... GO RUDOLPH!!!!

I took these pictures just 10 minutes ago on my way over to the office. My computer at home was running slow, and I needed to do get out for a minute.
More crazy weather and storms are creating havoc for holiday travelers in my area. I have relatives stranded in a hotel just short of the state border, and getting around my place is a bit slippery!
This past week was a real barn burner. I'm so glad that it's over. Today is just a relax before the Christmas holiday arrives on Monday. There is still some last minute shopping to do, and some people to call, but for the most part I am full ready for a great 2 days with family.

Here is another post by Speedy > I Love Santa's Community Blog . There I am as Santa with a mystery pet!

Half-Hazard Whipped Together Speed Post




Half-Hazard Whipped Together Speed Post These are just a few "Proud Gramps isn't she cute photos".

I find myself doing all sorts of silly things when she's around. We sing and dance to Barney the big purple dinosaur, color, and yell / clap quite a bit. Everything is fun at this age...... 40 :-)


Half-Hazard Whipped Together Speed Post This was taken today. I try always to look at the positive side of things, but when this is as light and nice as the day gets, gloomy can sometimes rear it's ugly head. I leave for work in the dark, get home in the dark, and by golly, that's just to much dark. I miss the sun, shorts, golf, biking, and being outside on a gorgeous day. Issshhhhh!!!

Half-Hazard Whipped Together Speed Post After reading one of my odd posts.... yes, once in a while ODD comes to mind, Rolando from R Playground! said, "Hey Eric, how about a picture of a comb over!" Well, here you go. I can't say that I like this picture much, but a request is a request. If you have followed my page for any amount of time, you know that anything will be done for a reader. Try me!



This has no real significance, I just thought this was one of the strangest chairs anywhere. No, it's not mine.... and whoever designed this bamboozzaler of a seat must have Half-Hazard Whipped Together Speed Postbeen smoking some heavy ****. That's all I can say about that! ....and this is the only chair so far that makes me look small.

What would you name this picture? Let me know, and I'll put the best answer under my photo.

That's my quick and sloppy random style 15 minute post!! I have my list of must do's on file (below), and will have my tags & such done soon. Tonight I'm out of time... again. Shoot!

Motorized Lunatic Cats in my Car

Motorized Lunitic Cats in my Car This morning I woke to find a family of cat's living in my car. They had mechanical bodies and human hair! I asked them why they picked my car, and they said "meow meow mow rweeangg". This means none of your business. So, I drove to work and picked up some cat toys for them to get spit on while I was busy earning a dollar.

My day was long and grueling. Far more than any regular human should withstand, and I had all but forgotten the cats. When I opened the door to my Toyota Camry, there was just a small note. "Dear Speedcat, you are an idiot!"
I miss those crazy guys.
Epilogue: This story is mostly true, except for the cats. I will try and visit everyone soon.
