Google Drift, and Where I Wind Up.

The girls are upstairs playing together nicely for a change, the boy is watching some of the original 80s Transformers episodes that I downloaded for him, and I had the beauty of some quiet time to myself.
I set up in the office with a coffee the way I like it (rich full bodied dark roast as opposed to weak Swift Current 7-11 style that the wife likes) and I started picking my guitar. I decided to look for some tabs to a few country songs I'd like to learn (My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys) and these days I always Google up Youtube first when I'm looking for any kind of how-to. Youtube is a tremendous resource, and I think if I'm ever bored and trapped in the house again sometime I might look up some of youtube's most ridiculous how-to's for all y'all.
Today however I just wanted to post a video that I think you might like. Google Drift is a term that describes what happens when you're just mindlessly surfing the web and wind up a thousand topics away from what you were originally searching for. I'm the worst for it. I'll look up a chicken recipe, see a link for Funny Chicken and I'll say "ooh funny chickens!" and then off I go, then it's off to funky chicken, then funky town, then funk guitar, then Marvin Gaye, then the California Raisins, then before you know it I'm somehow on an explicit porn site,(funny how that seems to happen so often).
Anyway, today I didn't drift too far, and thought I'd share this with you.
