Michael's Daughter and Brooke Shields gave the best speeches

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 8 Jul 09

The memorial service was good yesterday but not so much so that it truly got to me except for two spots. When Brooke Shields spoke of her friendship with Michael and when his daughter spoke. I broke down at that point. I grew up...

Transferring home movies from VHS to DVD

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 1 Jul 09

I recently took on the task of changing all of our old home movies to DVD. My mother was really always taking videos. A lot of those videos are of my kids when they were little. VHS tapes are really old and outdated. They also...

Michael had quite a successful career. He has also had many downfalls over the past several years. He died of cardiac arrest. Will he be remembered for all the great music that he played, for the changes in his skin color through...

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 23 Jun 09

My first cell phone was through Verizon and it was great for the first few years but seemed to go downhill. That is when Nextel was the big thing and so we switched providers and went with Nextel. It was awesome using the little...

Gran Torino

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 17 Jun 09

We spent our weekend searching for Gran Torino after it's release to DVD. We finally got hold of a copy and watched. It was hilarious as well as serious in subject matter. I think that Clint Eastwood made a great film. If this is...

Ipods are amazing

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 17 Jun 09

I started another discussion and it led to this thought. Isn't it absolutely amazing the technology that we have today. Just think, only 20 short years ago, computers weren't even in every home. Today there are sometimes 2 or 3...

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 17 Jun 09

I have heard, many times, that Wiki's are not very reliable sources of information. I heard that they are inaccurate, I guess because no one checks to see if the information is correct and anyone can add to them. Is this true. I...

How old were you when you got your first tattoo?

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 16 Jun 09

I didn't get my first tattoo until I was in my mid-thirties. Not sure of the exact age, but I kind of regret it anyway because they didn't do a very good job of it. How old were you when you got your first tattoo and do you have...

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 15 Jun 09

I never buy music from itunes. I either download it elsewhere or use my CD's and then use the itunes player. Do you all buy music from Itunes? If so do you think are the prices reasonable? I was just wondering because I don't see...

What is the big deal with partying and getting so drunk you don't remember what

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 15 Jun 09

I guess I don't understand the big deal with getting drunk all of the time. It's okay to cut loose once in a while but I know people that do it all the time. I'm not saying I have never been drunk in my life. I certainly have and...

Name something that you could do to make a difference in the world.

Okay, I know this seems like a silly question, but don't you get tired of being in love? Wouldn't it be better to be free of all the pain that love can cause you? I sometimes think about this and think that it might be better if I...
