So, all of the blogs these days seem to be about something. You can be a humour blog. You can be a science blog. You can be a technology blog. I suppose this is kind of a diary blog, or a “reflections” blog or something like that . . . “personal” blog might fit it best. And that’s all fine, well and good . . . except no one reads it.
So, now I figure . . . why not go for the gusto? Why not have a really big, impressive blog like the blogonauts on the rest of the interwebs! Maybe I can make a place for myself! So, I present to you Within’s new format as . . . NEWS BLOG!!
Top breaking exciting news story full of news! Right now! Top of the day! Whooosh! News graphic!
BP, or Bathing Pretty as they like to be called, is planning to begin to plan to start a plan that will stop the oil leak that’s happening in a gulf somewhere! They’re gonna slap some mud on that leaky crag of leakitude and call it a day . . . TODAY! That’s right, it could very well be happening as we speak. They call this mud-slapping plan the “top kill” procedure, named for its ability to murder oil spills! That’s right! When this is done, there will be no more problems. Zero! None! . . . Insert the Russian word for nothing in here! Engineers are somehow involved.You go, you crazy learnèd bastards! You go! So, there you have it. Top breaking news broken into! Glad I could be of service.
Here’s a link to a similar story that I just so happened to find on a similar subject from the front page of the CBC website that I think I should post here, lest I incur legal penalties! SOURCE! Rar!
And now, VIDEO BLOGGING THE NEWS . . . IN CAPS LOCK!
Video blogs are more popular than ever. With blogs constantly competing to see who can be more awesome, it’s important to stay cutting edge. That’s why Within will always feature a special video blog on the news as well, as if it were a real newscast on the television! Here’s our breaking story on Apple, which was totally researched and not just taken from the CBC website again. For no reason other than I feel like it, I will post a link that says source in capital letters. SOURCE!
Now we turn to you . . . the reader!
One of the great things about blogging is the feedback! Sweet, juicy feedback! So, let me know what your thoughts are on the BP thing and whatever Apple’s up to. We can have a dialogue! Dialogue means talking with people. We can do that! And remember, trust Within to bring you the best news, the most news, the freshest news a mere 12 to 36 hours after CBC posts it!

Yes, I'm Going to Have a Crazy Wedding
Wedding plans continue along their course, burbling and whirling and squirreling their way towards victory. I’ve been having a lot of fun lately picking out the wedding music for the reception.
In case anyone missed something, Audra and I are not going to be particularly traditional. Audra has made an amazing and beautiful wedding dress that is primarily in black, and she’s making me a stunning white coat. The coat is going to be a trench coat, too. Oh, and it will be the trench coat from The Matrix. Yep, perfectly untraditional.
So . . . the music. I’ve been trying to make a blend of music that will be fun to dance to, that will satisfy both the old and the young, that seems “wedding-y,” that is traditionally heard at dances, that both Audra and I enjoy . . . and that will make people pause and ask what the heck they’re dancing to.
The list includes dance party classics like Rasputin and Cotton-Eyed Joe. It has the exciting music of Ukrainian pop sensation Ruslana. It has some Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett to satisfy some grandparents. And then things get crazy. I’m taking requests (so please feel free to request something in the comments), and I will do my best to include every request (even Ukulele de Chocobo from Final Fantasy IX). After the requests comes David picking stuff like crazy. Weird Al. Star Trekkin’ by The Firm. I even sent a tweet to one of my favourite music websites OverClocked ReMix and now I have a delightful blues piano arrangement of Super Mario Bros. added to the list.
Of course, not everyone is going to appreciate rockin’ techno, video game music, Apocalypica, and the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean being played at my wedding, but I’m having too much fun to care.
There’s been a lot of contention with Audra’s family and the unorthodox way we’ve been doing things. From the black wedding dress to a hall that won’t fit every cousin in Audra’s convoluted Ukrainian family to a private supper before the Reception. My own family isn’t any better; my grandpa will likely be upset that we’ll be dancing. But hey, we’re going to have a blast. We’re going to have the wedding that we want. It’ll be great. And at exactly one month away, there’s no gettin’ offa this train we’re on!
Get ready to rock.
