Content

Books, Songs, Movies, Cartoons, Work-out mixes, bed time stories, Netflix, DVD's, DVRs, , NPR, PBS, HD, NBC, WWW.....can I please get some content. Unlike my brother who probably reads about a book a week I only seem to get through about 2 a year......that being said I am still a curious guy and interested the happenings in our world. I admit I have fallen back mostly on audio and video. I like to DVR things like Charlie Rose, Heroes, Adventure Sports, SNL, The Daily Show, and some HD Nat. Geo stuff. In addition to our mutual shows Automme also has about 3 shows she keeps up with. Oliver has Tiger and Poo, Little Einstein, Nat. Geo dinosaur and animal shows, and occasional Disney Channel movies. On top of that, we're 4 movie at a time Netflix users. We get all the new release movies, we keep up with a few HBO shows. (Rome, Entourage, Dexter, and a few others), and now we have one kid movie on queue at all times for The O-Man. We've even got a few books that get picked up very seldom. Other than that, we get new songs through I-tunes. We like to get these songs off of movies (or shows) that we watch, commercials, or from NPR (Market Place and All Things Considered always have cool little diddys). Automme likes to download some select current hip hop for her workout mixes, and Oliver also has about 4 or 5 of his favorite songs that we like to rock the Ipod with.

Bed time content for the boy includes 1-7 books (every night) or a "make up story" by Dad. My stories always are about a little boy and his dogs. They usually have this boy and his dogs doing something in a jungle or cave or on a mountain or desert or ocean somewhere. For some reason they often are hungry and looking for something to eat while encountering the local wildlife who may or may not have the ability to speak human. Whatever happens in the story it always ends with me asking Oliver "do you know who the little boy is?" and the answer is..... "Oliver.....and do you know who the doggies are? Sadie and Denali thats right....now nigh nigh...go to sleep..NOW!"

And finally, there are a couple of really cheesy videos off of Disney that he's all about. I can't seem to find them on Itunes....so I'll just let you play them below off of Youtube. Automme and I always like to get our moves on with the train conducter......just watch, about 2 minutes into the 1st video he busts it out hard... you'll see.....
