Recent News

Well now that I am reestablishing myself back in the blogging dimension I decided to make today's post about the recent activity going on in the world. I got a couple of links to stories that you guys can check out.

First one is about a young botswana boy chased and stabbed with a spear for trying to run away from his own circumcision ceremony - http://www.timeslive.co.za/local/article830470.ece/Eastern-Cape-initiate-stabbed-abducted

Fourth one is a interesting, it talks about a study showing that conservatives have a larger "fear center" then there less conservative counterparts - http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/12/29/conservative_brains/index.html

Back in Action

Well it has been almost a month without making any posts. Originally I stopped so I could focus on finals but once I was done with those I ended up getting my laptop stolen. It was a hectic story but I'll just leave it up to your imagination, lets just say it happened in the ghetto of long beach. So I missed the obligatory 'Merry Christmas' post and lost a couple followers, completely understandable. I thought I should post something before the new year so here you go people.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets start with some random Christmas Statistics and Christmas jokes so when your so when your at that new years party you have interesting to say!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STATS

1 - The Largest gift ever is the statue of liberty which the french gave to the US in 1886, its 151 feet and 1 inch tall. (Ok, maybe that's not that interesting...)
2 - 85% of the artificial trees in the US were manufactured in China.
3 - Heart-related deaths jump 5% during the holiday season.

JOKES

1 - A Jewish Santa Claus came down the chimney and said: "Anyone want to buy a present?"
2 - Q: Do you know why Santa dosen't have any children ??? A: he only comes once a year and thats down a chimney ...
3 - Why was Santa's little helper depressed? Because he had low elf esteem.
4 - What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite.
5 - When you stop believing in Santa Claus is when you start getting clothes for Christmas.
6 - The 3 stages of man: He believes in Santa Claus. He doesn't believe in Santa Claus. He is Santa Claus.

Creativity

I apologize again for my blog being absent of new posts, school has been rather hectic recently and I haven't had much down time. Its just going to get worse when finals start next week so I'm just going to tell you that I WILL NOT BE POSTING MUCH FOR THE NEXT WEEK or so because I need to be studying and whatnot. I decided to do this last post before I go on my blogging break, its on human ingenuity and creativity. Here's a bunch of pictures showing how creative and awesome we humans are. And yes, there are no art in this post because I think it is more challenging to create something with a purpose nowadays then to draw a picture.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Z1 'PlayStation Phone' Revealed

So sony has finally decided to make its way into the cell phone market. This is a video that shows the layout and menu screens. There is no show of the graphics but I assume its going to be good because play stations has usually been known for good graphics. I recommend muting this video because there is no sound of the phone, its just a lame song playing.

Holographic FIFA games to broadcast?

So I just read an article on CNN about japans plan to broadcast the next world cup in 2022. I took out some parts that are pretty interesting.

"At the heart of Japan's bid is a plan to broadcast entire games to stadiums on the other side of the world in what appears to be life-sized holograms... Japanese organizers say each game will be filmed by 200 high definition cameras, which will use "freeviewpoint" technology to allow fans to see the action unfold from a player's eye view -- the kind of images until now only seen in video games.

 Meanwhile on the terraces, supporters will be able to use in-ear computerized translators to talk freely to fans from other countries -- a device that mimics the "Star Trek's" universal translators or the Babel Fish of "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.""

 If your intreiged then heres the full article.

So its thursday...

SO LETS DANCE!!

Back with a fresh background

Well I hope you all had a great thanksgiving and an amazing break if you had one. I didn't have much time to post anything that week but now that I'm back I shall continue to post daily. I hope my absence has not turned anyone away from my blog. Here is a great remix of the gorillaz song "stylo". The cool thing about this song is that the rhymer in the song, chiddy bang, does not cuss or say nigga in any of his songs. I wish more hip hop artists would be like that.

On a side note, how do you like the new background?

Happy Thanksgiving

Have a great turkey day!

Evolution of Men

I'm sorry for the lack of words and time put into my recent posts. I just got home for thanksgiving break so I've been spending my time with my family. Heres a beautiful video, please watch and enjoy!

Carl Sagan

I thought this was post worthy...

Bill Hicks (Comedian)

I apologize for not posting anything the last couple days. My Thanksgiving break just started so my friends and I drove from our university to home (northern california to southern california) and that took about 14 apologize hours. Now that I'm down here I'll keep updating daily.

Todays Post is about the comedian Bill Hicks, I had never heard of him until my friend showed me his standup a couple days ago. He is hilarious. His humor challenges mainstream beliefs and aims to "enlighten people to think for themselves". He is also good friends with the singer of the psycedelic rock band "tool", Maynard. I could give you an in depth article about his life but I doubt you guys would read it so I'm just going to post one of his stand up shows live and you can make up your mind about your view on him.



And here is a tool song that uses some recordings of him in the song



I strongly recommend going to youtube and listening to all the parts of the Bill Hicks Philosophy standup if you enjoyed the first video.

Guinea Rig

My friend just sent me this article, I thought it was such an inspiring story that it belonged on my blog.

Realistic Android

The most realistic android to date... I guess in the real life "Terminator" Arnold will be an asian girl. Soredeha Mata, Baby...

Nostalgia

Well today's post is about the past, think about all the good times. My childhood is kinda like all these pictures combined with sunshine.

Mysterious Missile off of LA?

So apparently last monday off the coast of Los Angeles, California there was what looked like a missile launched. The US government had no idea what it was. They claimed it must of been a airliner or a amateur rocket because the smoke plum was not big enough to be a military missile, but still they say that they have no proof if it was an airliner or amateur rocket, which is weird because don't you think they would have some radar readings or something to distinguish what it is. We do have billions going in to the government to do stuff like that. I'm guessing they're hiding something, judge for yourself.

100 Followers!

Well I finally reached it, I have been at 99 for the last two days and finally someone has decided to be the hundredth follower. I really want to thank all of you fellow bloggers for the support and the comments. I will keep doing what I've been doing and hopefully I will keep growing.

In-N-Out Secret Menu

Ok this post is only for those lucky people in Socal who can go to In-n-out. It has to be the best burger shop in California. One of the cool things about it, besides the incredible food, is that they have an extensive secret menu that pretty much only locals know of. I thought I'd share some of the hidden food you can order.

Disguises

Lucky you, I decided to have two posts today. I saw these on the internet earlier and I thought they were so funny that they belonged on my blog. I never knew people did this, and I still don't understand why they do. Got a couple laughs out of it though. Enjoy!

Watch this if these made you crack up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fZcLG3xl8I&feature=player_embedded
