Get Your Country on With Big State Games

bigstategames-1.jpg

To promote Texas’ Big State games, Grow Interactive, which created PaloozaHead, has launched the Big State Games website where it’s all about country and all about country music’s two day jam October 13-14 in Bryan-College Station. The site’s got all you could want about the festival including the ubiquitous bull riding game and a race car driving game.

As with all Flash creations, finding your way back to the homepage is not easy which, perhaps, is the idea after all since the goal is to get you to buy tickets, a link that is conveniently at the bottom of every page while the back button isn’t so accessible. Other than that annoyance, we like the site.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.

University of Arizona researchers wired 79 people with a recorder sampling conversations every 12.5 minutes for four days and found the happiest had twice as many substantive conversations and a third as much small talk as the unhappiest, suggesting the discomfort was never a social deficit.
