Dogs, The Cat Lady And Songify

      This picture was taken in Kansas, back during the 1980's. The star is our pooch, a really good dog. This was my son's dog, when he was just a little guy. The picture was taken out on a farm where we lived. Looking back, it was certainly a beautiful day to be alive and go for a walk. We often walked out the country road for miles and of course the dog had to go, which was cool. She would go a little distance and look back like this to make sure we were coming. The dog pictured lived with us for many years. My son was grown and gone, with kids of his own, when I came outside one morning and found the pooch dead and stiff. It was a tough day for me, I can tell you that.
     I've only had one dog of my own. He was a long-haired bird dog. I had him when I was a kid and another kid shot and killed him just for sheer meanness. Not being very civilized at the time, I gave the other kid a good beating. This did not bring my dog back but it felt good.
    My wife and I have never been much for pets. I don't like animals in the house and neither does she. I'm really odd about things too. When that kid shot my dog, I haven't wanted another pet since. It must be some odd quirk in my make-up. I just want the one issue of everything, then I'm done. I'm surprised that I even trade cars. Ha, Ha.
    I suppose that you folks have seen the cool video going around the web that features an e-harmony dating intro. This lady is telling people about liking cats. Somebody used an app called Songify to put her talk to music and added in some cats that appear to be playing musical instruments and dancing. It is one of the best clips I have seen. If you search for it on you tube, be sure that you see the one that is set to music. I think if you search "I like cats, music video" you'll see it. There have been several hundred thousand views of it. By the way, I immediately went to the app store and downloaded the free app called Songify, which I mentioned. You just record yourself, talking or singing, and the app sets that to music. You will sound surprisingly good, believe me. I think you sound a bit better if you sing, but that's only my opinion. I sang a piece called My Life Is A Country Song, for the very good reason that I had got up humming the tune that morning. Naturally, I changed the words to something silly and off-color for the recording. When it was put to rap music, which I loathe, I could not refrain from laughing. No, you will never, ever, get to hear it. I do, however, recommend the app.
    You can write it on my stone, My life is a country song. From the dogless retreat, I'm CE Wills.

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

    Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to.     Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends.      I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
