What's your definition of a Hero?

When it comes to email, my dad doesn't often forward anything and for a while I just thought he didn't know how to (no offense Dad) but he literally just sent this email and I couldn't just let this one get lost in the Inbox.

All my dad wrote in the email was :
I only fwd this because it was fwd for someone that deserves respect!

I agree Dad and he's got my respect. I'm not sure what people consider a hero anymore and that is a sad thing.

I understand that some people have opinions about past wars and the current war, Trust me, I want them out of there just as much as the next person but what people don't understand is that these soldiers are risking THEIR lives for OURS.
That's a hero in my eyes.

Dad being a Vietnam Vet I have the utmost respect for him, the men that served before him and after him.

Here is what the email said:

We're hearing a lot today about big splashy memorial services.
I want a nationwide memorial service for Darrell "Shifty" Powers.

Shifty volunteered for the airborne in WWII and served with Easy

Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st
Airborne Infantry. If you've seen Band of Brothers on HBO or the
History Channel , you know Shifty. His character appears in all 10
episodes, and Shifty himself is interviewed in several of them..

I met Shifty in the Philadelphia airport several years ago. I didn't
know who he was at the time. I just saw an elderly gentleman having
trouble reading his ticket. I offered to help, assured him that he was
at the right gate, and noticed the "Screaming Eagle," the symbol of
the 101st Airborne, on his hat.


Making conversation, I asked him if he'd been in the 101st Airborne
or if his son was serving. He said quietly that he had been in the
101st. I thanked him for his service, then asked him when he served,
and how many jumps he made.


Quietly and humbly, he said "Well, I guess I signed up in 1941 or so,
and was in until sometime in 1945 .. . . " at which point my heart
skipped.


At that point, again, very humbly, he said "I made the 5 training
jumps at Toccoa, and then jumped into Normandy . . . . do you know
where Normandy is?" At this point my heart stopped.


I told him "yes, I know exactly where Normandy is, and I know what
D-Day was." At that point he said "I also made a second jump into
Holland , into Arnhem ." I was standing with a genuine war hero . . . ..
and then I realized that it was June, just after the anniversary of
D-Day..


I asked Shifty if he was on his way back from France , and he said
"Yes. And it's real sad because, these days, so few of the guys are
left, and those that are, lots of them can't make the trip." My heart
was in my throat and I didn't know what to say.


I helped Shifty get onto the plane and then realized he was back in
Coach while I was in First Class. I sent the flight attendant back to
get him and said that I wanted to switch seats. When Shifty came
forward, I got up out of the seat and told him I wanted him to have
it, that I'd take his in coach.


He said "No, son, you enjoy that seat. Just knowing that there are
still some who remember what we did and who still care is enough to
make an old man very happy." His eyes were filling up as he said it.
And mine are brimming up now as I write this.


Shifty died on June 17, 2009 after fighting cancer.

There was no parade.
No big event in Staples Center .
No wall to wall back to back 24x7 news coverage.
No weeping fans on television.
And that's not right.


Let's give Shifty his own Memorial Service, online, in our own quiet
way. Please forward this email to everyone you know. Especially to the
veterans.


Rest in peace, Shifty.

I'm not saying go and enlist, just show more respect to the men and woman serving our country, You'd be surprised at how much that means to the Veterans.

Emily, the strongest kid I know

When my little cousin was born 20 months ago, we were all ecstatic, another Driscoll baby to add to the crew but after only a few hours of life she suffered a stroke and lost almost all functions of the left side of her brain. Doctors gave her hours to live but Emily has yet to give up.

When you hear of these types of stories, you never think that it could happen to your own family but since it has happened to ours you begin to realize how powerful family truly is. I give my cousin Peter and his wife Anne all the credit in the world, they have more strength than I think I would have in this situation. As you'll read below, Emily is always doing something to improve her life. She works harder than a lot of people I know, including myself and she's not even 2. She is a role model to me, to work hard for your goal, to never give up, to fight.

Here is her story:

Emily entered this world on January 18, 2008. When she was born, no one knows why, she suffered a massive stroke affecting almost the whole left side of her brain. The doctors told us that she probably wasn't going to live- but she did! Having her stroke began life's journey of challenges for Emily and our family. As a result of the stroke Emily suffers from hemiplegia, cerebral palsy, a seizure disorder, half vision in each eye and other developmental delays.

Emily receives physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, vision therapy, special education and other service every day. At 20 months old she has a busier schedule than most adults. She works so hard every day so that one day she can walk and talk and do all the things that other kids do. She WILL do these things but it will be her way and not until she's good and ready.

Emily is the sweetest, happiest and most loving little girl around. She is a gift straight from the heavens and is a blessing to our family.

The most recent update for Emily is that she was supposed to be getting brain surgery on November 18th but it looks like that is being postponed due to her contracting the Swine Flu. This little girl cannot catch a break.

I guess the reason I am writing this is to have everyone say a prayer for her. I am not a very religious person but I will ask for your well wishes to this little one, she has put up an amazing fight and deserves to live a happy and healthy life full of play groups and friends not doctors and tests.

Check out her website for updates and if at all possible make a donation to help out!!

Jamaica No Problem

It's been a while since I last posted something, a few things have been going on since then, one being I went on another great vacation to Jamaica with a few friends of mine and the other being, hmmm I guess that is the only thing I can think of...

This was my second trip to Jamaica and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. No, a doctor didn't really tell me to go away but if I saw him, he would have told me to. We went for 6 days, a little too short for my liking but just enough to come back nice and refreshed. We didn't stay in a huge all inclusive hotel full of tourists, we stayed at the wonderful Oh Boy Villa in Silver Sands, Jamaica. Kelly's family owns a villa there and therefor we would not have experienced this amazing trip without her. I think the total amount of people that were there that week were about 20-25 tops. Granted it was the off season but it was still nice to have a house to stay in and the beach all to ourselves.

In the days we were there, we went snorkeling around a huge reef off the coast, here you'll see some wild life we found there...oh wait that's Ryan and Kat.



We played tennis on grass courts at the Georgia club in the middle of fields with cows surrounding us, cheering us on. It was actually one of the coolest experiences I have had because we were hanging out with the locals who have been going to this "club" their entire lives, playing every Saturday for years. The tradition and the history that we saw and heard there was incredible. As you can see, the club was a bit of a fix me upper but if those walls could talk we would most likely hear stories for hours.

The Georgie Club


Kelly and Kat getting their asses handed to them by two women well into their 70's.



Surrounded by cows








This one was a bit bored of the game and needed a bathroom break.













Being that it was Halloween while we were down there, naturally we dressed up.




We went fishing on Sunday morning.
Fishing is one of my most favorite things to do and the chance to do so in this amazingly beautiful water was very satisfying to me. We didn't go out on a touristy boat with a bunch of other "tourist" we went with a family friend of Kelly's family, a local man by the name of David. We caught one fish in the entire four hours but that didn't bother us, a day out on the water was good enough for me!



The beach was allllll ours.





I wasn't lying when I said we had the beach to ourselves...





More but not many pictures can be found on my Tumblr


Thank you Kelly McCormick for an amazing trip! Can't wait to go back next year

Mini Wayne Gretzky

Pretty amazing...

I thank him too...

Hey Honey, How was your day?

Oh you know, work was good, just shot a music video, nothing crazy.

In My Life

Growing up and even now, I've never really been a Beatles fan. This doesnt mean I don't like some of their music, I just never got into it because it was never playing in the house. If I pick three they would be:

Hey Jude
In My Life
Let it Be

Bonus track: The Christmas Song - I think that's just John Lennon though...regardless I could listen to that everyday from now till New Years and never get sick of it.

I'm sure there are more I like but those three come to mind first. Generic in the Beatles world but I don't care.
I just came across this cover of "In My Life" by Jason Mraz and I love it.

Halloween Tribute...

To the one and only Patrick Swayze

Grab your tissues

This is the year of Beyonce in my eyes.

No, I am not siding with Kanye but I will say that in years past I have never really been a fan of hers.

Lately, that has all changed, I am loving her songs, loving her dance moves but more importantly in love with her husband, Jay-Z.

Anyways, on this beautiful Wednesday morning the last thing I want to do is post a sad video but I had to share this.

New Tune

I am digging on the New Moon, Death Cab for Cutie song, "Everything Ends"

Death Cab For Cutie |MTV Music

Biggie Smalls (Party and Bullshit) X Miley Cyrus (Party in the USA) MASH.

Not a fan of Miley Cyrus AT ALL but I like this...

Movies I'm looking forward to...

So being that the summer was a Blockbuster Bust I have a few movies in which I am really looking forward to seeing. They pretty much h

First up is "Nine"
I am by no means a fan of musical but something about this preview just really captivates me.
It has a pretty good cast, Daniel Day Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, Marion Cotillard, Fergie and Kate Hudson



Next we have "Precious"



Then this one is a bit out of the ordinary for me considering it's scary and scary movies make me feel really uneasy...I hate that feeling.

As I watched this trailer I realized I have got to see it!!

"Shutter Island"



Then we have "Coco Before Chanel"



And of course,
"Where the Wild Things Are"



What's on your list?

Question of the Day

"What do you think is the best part of a wedding?"

There are a bunch of things I absolutely love about weddings but one I love the most is watching the reaction of the groom when the doors open and his future wife is walking down the aisle towards him. I actually remember one particular wedding that I was in a couple of years ago. One of my closest friends Karen was getting married outside and when she walked out of the doors with her father and started down the aisle I looked at Chad the groom. He was blown away and I watched him say quietly to himself "Wow".
It's a small moment but I think its a great moment.

Besides that I am pretty much an easy going person when it comes to weddings, I have been to the best of them and the worst of them. For me there are 3 elements of a good wedding and 3 very simple things.

1. Good food - Keep it simple and flavorful. Done and done

2. Good Bar and bartenders - If you have a good bartenders that will lead to good beverages which leads to some amazing and simply flawless dance moves. Which leads me to #3

3. GREAT MUSIC - Anyone that knows me knows that I love music. Am I a fan of Bands at weddings? Nope. No matter what I am never fully satisfied hearing someone else sing the classic wedding songs. Are they fun, sure but the chances of me dancing more with a DJ are a lot better than with a band. I am by no means judging anyone who has had a band, I am simply stating my opinion.

So I don't know if I can sum up what is my favorite moments but I will say my 3 key elements make a wedding a wedding.

Enough about me.

I recently sat down with my best friend Maureen who is a huge fan of weddings. When I asked her this question she came back with this:

This question can have a lot of answers, especially when asking different people. I mean for some, it can actually be about the nuptials, the joining as two become one, waiting to hear those two simple words, “I do”….but lets be honest here, as exciting as that is, I’d say most would answer the best part is, the reception, its only natural to answer the question that way. I mean who doesn’t appreciate shrimp cocktail floating around a room, and an unlimited amount of beverages without having to burn a whole in your pocket. That feeling of generosity as you go around your table asking if anyone needs a drink, as if your really paying for it….

I think for me, the best part of a wedding, is generally the overall buzz. The energy that is in the air is sometimes enough to get you going even before you have had your first of 20 cocktails. If the buzz is consistent, then you know you are in for a guaranteed good time…I will say that some highlights for me are, from the beginning, are as follows:

- The bride being escorted by her father down the aisle.

- The introduction to the wedding party (you know your going to see at least one couple walk out doing the fishing pole dance, come onnnnnn people).

- The first dance as a married couple, I just always wonder what they are saying to each other.

- The father daughter dance

- Then the speeches

Then I look forward to whatever follows after….because there should always be an after…..

I then proceeded to ask, Do you find, as a guest of a wedding, you have certain expectations? Band or DJ?

This is what she had to say;

To be honest, I think its the people that "make" the wedding, people spend so much time, effort and most of all money, on little things that at the end of the night no one cares about...They will remember the moments of the nights, not so much the center pieces....I can say I have been to many weddings in my day, weddings in other states, and even a couple weddings in another country. So I do sort of in a way have some expectations...A wedding is more or less an upscale party. I mean people want to go there and have something nice to eat, and they want to drink, but what makes the drinking part so much better is having a crowd on the dance floor. So do I think it matters if there is a dj or band? I don't, as long as they know the tunes to play to get people out there....Sure a dj can have more of a variety, and it is a lot easier on your pocket, but if you had the money, shop around and splurge for a band.....


Over all I think the whole idea of weddings is a little out of control. Don't get me wrong, I love a big wedding and surprisingly enough I love getting dressed up and going but I think people pay way too much attention to the smallest details and get a little carried away. Seating arrangements and center pieces won't play a huge role in my wedding day

If you want a preview of my wedding, here you go:

Mat Kearney

Last night Kelly and I went and saw Mat Kearney in concert. It was a small venue which I prefer for concerts because it feels more real to be there.
To see the performers eyes, to see the sweat drip off his forehead, the perfect lighting, the feeling of the bass against your chest, there is just nothing like it.

Not many people know about Mat Kearney or have even heard of him but I have to say I have been a fan for a couple of years now. I can't recall the first time I heard him but I do know it was love at first listen. His voice is very distinctive and his songs have the strange way of reading your mind. His performance was perfect, he had great energy (even if some of his songs are slower) he connects with the crowd, that is something I really loved about last night.

So if you've never heard him before check out the list below, these are some of the songs he played last night.

Mat Kearney

Whip It!

Looking forward to seeing this.

Big fan of roller derby, you ask? After this I'm sure I will be. To be honest I didn't think it still existed until this clip.

Am I a dork?
Yes...yes I am.

Rebel without a Cause

A South African ad, featuring a James Dean-lookalike living a "long and wholesome life," is being hailed as an instant classic. The short video—created for an investment agency—ends with the line: "Given more time, imagine the possibilities." Jezebel




I thought this was pretty great ad

Billy met his match

This weekend I went out to dinner with my sister, her son Billy and Chris to one of our favorite restaurants in Brewster, NY, Fiesta Mexicana.

While waiting for our food Billy was reaching for the lime that was on one of our drinks so we figured, why not let him try it and see what his reaction is.

Take a look.

I f*ing love this song.
1. I love Jay-Z
2. I love New York

Enough said.

R.I.P. Patrick Swayze

Well we have lost yet another.
Patrick Swayze is gone after a short 57 years on this earth.

He was a man who graced our television screens as many different characters but a few that stand out for me are,

Dalton in Roadhouse,1989
"It's my way or the Highway"



Sam Wheat in Ghost



Bohdi in Point Break, Jed in Red Dawn, Darrel Curtis in The Outsiders but more importantly he was the one and only Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing.

Dirty Dancing was and still is my ALL TIME favorite movie. Melissa and I could most likely narrate the entire movie and that is no exaggeration. My dad used to do the lift with us in the living room, come to think of it the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack was the first CD the Henry Household owned. We also used to know all the dance moves, probably still do.

So being that Youtube won't allow me to post videos of Dirty Dancing I will give you a few to watch and enjoy.

A fellow fan and best friend of mine Maureen was a fan of him as well and has this to say:

"Patrick Swayze, was more to me then being best known as Johnny Castle, but he was a man that showed great strength and courage in his last days of a tough battle. He gave fellow cancer patients hope and a sense of determination. He fought the fight with great pride, but unfortunately he had nothing left to give. I truly believe he may now rest his eyes a little easier knowing he really did have, the time of his life. One day there will be a cure, and the unknown roots of its evilness will be vanished forever."

R.I.P. Patrick Swayze

Army Crawl

Billy Boy is growing up and growing up fast.
The little man is starting to do some army crawling around the house and getting faster and faster. In true Henry form, he is a fan of Coors light, hopefully he likes the silver can and not the way it tastes (not yet anyways).
Melissa has her hands full with this guy.

He is he cutest baby EVER. You all know it's true!!

VMA Magic

Instead of harboring on the stupid crap that happened last night on the VMA's, I think we should point out some of the cool performances.

Lady GaGa - Weird but she does have a great voice and she is quite the performer.

Pink - I can't say enough about her, I have been a fan of hers since day one. Her performance was different yet it suited her.

Beyonce - I have a love/hate relationship with her but after last nights performance, I am a fan.

Most of all, I love me some Jay-Z, always have, always will and last night he had a great performance with Alicia Keys..."Empire State of Mind" off his new album The Blueprint 3

Taking rolling over to a whole new cuteness...

Elle Greenwich passed away yesterday, she wrote such classics as "Be My Baby," "Leader of the Pack," and "Chapel of Love". These songs remind me so much of my childhood when we would have family parties and so on.

As a tribute to her, here is a clip from one of my favorite childhood movies growing up, Adventures in Babysitting

I just thought this was pretty funny and cute.

A helpful guide

A few people I know have mentioned their frustration regarding correct use of certain words. Here is a helpful chart for you.

Random Thoughts of the Day

So I received an email earlier from a Maureen with "Random Thoughts of the Day"

She didn't write these, I think some dude did but I thought they were hilarious. Some of these thoughts have crossed my mind before, for sure.

Here you go:

I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think
about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own
story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize
you're wrong.

I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to
have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and
sticks when they've invented the lighter?

Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're
going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be
going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the
direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check
your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself
to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by
randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

That's enough, Nickelback.

I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was
younger.

The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This
recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be
ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't
work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically
fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know
how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or
FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

There is a great need for sarcasm font.

Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what the fck was going on when I first
saw it.

I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes
stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes
shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the
right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a
millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really,
really gets it.

How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than
take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your
computer history if you die.

The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish
a text.

A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the
spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

Was learning cursive really necessary?

Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to
say".

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron
test is absolutely petrifying.

My brother's Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads.
Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired
about the name. He explained, "Cuz we beat you, and you hate us."
Classy, bro.

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I
hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and
smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in'
examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete
idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said
"Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each
other?

While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and
instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the
person died.

I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the
shower first and THEN turn on the water.

Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever.

I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

Bad decisions make good stories

Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile
is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red
Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every
year?

If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would
probably just be completely invisible.

Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go
around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly
nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a
problem....

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work
when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything
productive for the rest of the day.

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want
to have to restart my collection.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going
to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if
I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I
did not make any changes to.

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching
TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me
if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this.
It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room.
Will we still be friends after this?'

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?
Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes
to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and
run away?

I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing
anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't
already told me but that I have learned from some light internet
stalking.

I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then
I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed
for pedophiles...

As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but
no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not
know what time it is.

It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to
answer when they call.

I think that if, years down the road when I'm trying to have a kid, I
find out that I'm sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the
fact that I was not aware of my condition in college.

Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to
with it.

Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys
in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass
everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about
1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would
happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?

It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the
link takes me to a video instead of text.

I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they
drive behind obeys the speed limit.

I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or
Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw
they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words,
someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about
it, and then estimate d that there must be at least four people eating

dinner.

New Internet Sensation?!

This kid doesn't own a computer at home so he goes to the Apple store in NYC, makes these music videos and shares with the world on Youtube.
Watch the reactions of people behind him as they walk by. Classic.

While I was away...

Guy leaves for trip to Europe, girlfriend freaks out and sends increasingly angry emails, he breaks up with her and posts her last missives to him on the internet. Ouch.

I thought this was hilarious...
