I was searching for some new domain names today and I got this handy-dandy error from DomainsBot.com. Looks like the ole Microsoft .NET Framework is giving them some problems. BTW - Usually that site is an excellent place to brainstorm and look for domain names. Check it out… maybe later after they’ve fixed the problem.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a super-hero? Well Ralph Hinkley, a school teacher, finds this out in the comedy series Greatest American Hero. The thing I remember most about this series though is the theme song being played while he flies into a crash landing through a wall. Great stuff! You can pick this up on the TV Land Presents: Favorite TV Theme Songs which has a lot of other great theme songs that you are sure to love. Well here it is; Joe Scarbury’s Believe It Or Not:

Look at what’s happened to me,
I can’t believe it myself;
Suddenly I’m up on top of the world,
Should’ve been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I’m walkin’ on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin’ away on a wing and a pray’r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it’s just me.

Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin’ me out of the spell I was in,
Makin’ all of my wishes come true.

Believe it or not,
I’m walkin’ on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin’ away on a wing and a pray’r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it’s just me.

This is too good to be true,
Look at me
Falling for you.

Believe it or not,
Believe it or not,
Believe it or not,
Believe it or not.

Believe it or not,
I’m walkin’ on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin’ away on a wing and a pray’r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it’s just me.

Believe it or not,
I’m walkin’ on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin’ away on a wing and a pray’r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it’s just me.
