but I'M KENNY!!!!

**PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER BEFORE WATCHING VIDEO**

**adjust volume to acceptable level**

some of you have seen this. some have not. for the latter, first things first...Kenny Chesney is a part of our family. it's as simple as that! from the songs April and I chose for our wedding video in '97 to the songs our two oldest sons constantly sing today, it's all about Kenny in our house. frequently, Davis and John Daniel leave their earthly existence and return as smaller (not much, haha!!)versions of the entertainer extraordinaire! as evidenced in the video, they become "Kenny." in full attire from head to toe. Davis prefers the 'beach Kenny' while the younger, more traditional John Daniel usually goes for the 'live and in concert Kenny.' we have re-arranged furniture in various homes in order to stage concerts. shameless family members have waved to 'our Kenny's' during sold out living room shows. after much touring, tireless rehearsals, costume adjustments, and very little outside fanfare, a little while back, the boys put on an impromptu show at the stool in the oakes' living room. april happened to have her camera handy (imagine that!) what took place after that can only be seen on the video, not explained. but, i will attempt to set it up. as i am sure many of you have seen, at the real Kenny's first show this year, he took a spill on the stage and injured his foot. all i can say is, events in our house possibly forshadowed that fateful happening. you watch the video. towards the end, pay close attention to John Daniel. Kenny, if you're watching, sorry dude. we should have called you and warned you. enjoy!!!

my first blog...ever...

hello all!!! my mind is a complete conundrum of useless ideas. so, i asked myself, "self, what can i do with these items of such little value in order to protect them for the sake of prosperity?" and in reply i said, "self, start a medium in which to transfer said material for later review and embarassment!" so, i googled "medium in which to transfer material for later review and self embarassment and 9,876,543 results came back:
Main Entry: blog

short story long - I STARTED A BLOG!!!!

seriously, it took me so long to set the thing up that i have no time left to write anything more creative for now. i have a few minutes left so......................................................................................, i'd like to thank the academy and all of it's distinguished members, my wife and 3 sons for falling asleep so peacefully tonight, all of the good folks at yahoo, google, and blogger. my publicist. my merchandise people. "i love you too!!" that light blinking in the back is hurting my eyes. but, most of all, i'd like to thank Al Gore for inventing the internet so others can read my ramblings and wonder what they would be doing, at this very moment, had you, Al, not had the foresight and innovative conceptual thinking years ago. God Bless You All and good night. Don't forget to tip your waitress!
