Hey!! I've made it back!!
Let's see what I can come up with today.
The mostly self-taught 10-year-old started playing guitar at age 3,
and he's obviously devoted much of his short life to his Ozzy obsession - he rehearsed for Ellen's show by running through "Mr Crowley,"
another track off the 1980 album "Blizzard of Ozz."
He's appeared on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," shredded at Connecticut's Gathering of the Vibes festival, and jammed with legendary guitarist Les Paul on a 2008 trip to the U.S.
According to his official bio, he's also a big fan of Metallica, Eric Clapton, and Kiss.
At age 8, Miyazawa was named the youngest professional guitar player on the planet by the "Guinness Book of World Records."

5 more days till what?!?
No way, huh uh, you've got to be kidding.
Yep, it's about that time.
The last year of my 20's has come upon me.
I knew it was gonna happen but, I didn't think that it was gonna happen this fast.
Now, I'm not gonna sit here and get all blurry eyed and have the sniffling fits.
Nope, I'm gonna wait till I'm next year to do all that.

You Know You're Getting Old When...
"Getting a little action" means you don't need to take a laxative.
Adult diapers are actually kind of convenient.
All of your favorite movies are now re-released in color.
At cafeterias, you complain that the gelatin is too tough.
Conversations with people your own age often turn into "dueling ailments."
Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
It takes a couple of tries to get over a speed bump.
It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
It takes twice as long to look half as good.
It's harder and harder for sexual harassment charges to stick.
Many of your co-workers were born the same year that you got your last promotion.
No one expects you to run into a burning building.
People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?"
People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
Someone compliments you on your layered look.... and you're wearing a bikini.
The car that you bought brand new becomes an antique.
The clothes you've put away until they come back in style... come back in style.
The end of your tie doesn't come anywhere near the top of your pants.
The little gray-haired lady you help across the street is your wife.
The pharmacist has become you new best friend.
The twinkle in your eye is only the reflection of the sun on your bifocals.
There's nothing left to learn the hard way.
Things you buy now won't wear out.
When getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
When happy hour is a nap.
When tying one on means fastening your MedicAlert bracelet.
When you are cautioned to slow down by your doctor instead of the police.
When you don't care where your wife goes, just so you don't have to go along.
When you have a choice of two temptations and you choose the one that will get you home earlier.
When you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.
When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure that the street is still there.
When you stop buying green bananas.
When you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.
When you were in school there was no history class!
When your birth certificate says expired on it.
When you're told to act your own age, and you die.
You and your teeth don't sleep together.
You are 17 around the neck, 42 around the waist, 96 around the golf course.
You are proud of your lawn mower.
You begin every other sentence with, "Nowadays..."

A lady is throwing a party
for her granddaughter, and had gone all out..... a caterer, band, and a hired clown.
Just before the party started, two bums showed up looking for a handout.
Feeling sorry for the bums, the woman told them that she would give them a meal if they will help chop some wood for her out back.
Gratefully, they headed to the rear of the house.
The guests arrived, and all was going well with the children having a wonderful time.
But the clown hadn't shown up.
After a half and hour, the clown finally called to report that he was stuck in traffic, and would probably not make the party at all.
The woman was very disappointed and unsuccessfully tried to entertain the children herself.
She happened to look out the window and saw one of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watched in awe as he swung from tree branches, did mid-air flips, and leaped high in the air.
She spoke to the other bum and said,
"What your friend is doing is absolutely marvelous.
I have never seen such a thing. Do you think your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children at the party?
I would pay him $50!"
The other bum says, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him.
"HEY WILLIE! FOR $50, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?"
That about does it for right now folks.
Gotta get rested up for next week.
Thanks for stopping by:-)
