The White House has a POOL!!

Now this pool has something I wish I had here.... PRIVACY TREES that surround that shit!!

AllAboutStrength

Everybody, right now, go to this guy's site, AllAboutStrength.Blogspot.com and spend countless hardened hours pouring over the gorgeous pics and downloadable videos. I just got the Latter Days video!

MMM! Yummy!

Even Bill Gates Praises Apple

But I guess if you have enough time and patience with Windows, anything is still possible.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

I made a couple of changes to me ole blog. First, there's now a dedicated place in the cloudy Web for my full-sized pictures. (Black holes and bulges alike!) So you will more often get the full experience by clicking on an image.

Secondly, thanks to this guy's helpful posts (one and two) on tweaking Blogger's appearance, I've spiffied up the banner up top.

Third...POLLS!

Perspective Art

This guy Kurt Wenner has some awesome art. Check out his sidewalk perspective pastel drawings.

Seeing the Sun in Stereo

I stumbled across these pictures of what was described as a transit of the Moon across the face of the Sun, which I've thrown together into this animation.


Thing is, it doesn't look anything like a solar eclipse as we would see from Earth. The Moon is TINY is comparison to the Sun, so this picture definitely wasn't taken on Earth....but where? It must've been taken much further from the Moon than we are, but then, where's Earth? Not appearing in the picture, for sure! Turns out the picture was taken 4 times further away from Earth than is the Moon. Where's the Earth? Off camera. The pictures were taken by one of the STEREO satellites.

STEREO is a loose but descriptive acronym for Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory of which there are two. The two satellites are now satellites of the Sun. After launch, they were set into finely-tuned, slighty-different, highly eccentric orbits that brought them to the orbit of the moon. Once the Moon's gravity perturbed their orbits, this slight variance sent the Stereo A observatory out in front of our orbit and closer to the sun and then sent the Stero B drifting behind us and further away from the Sun. Both are now slaves to the Sun, slowly drifting away from us, who will soon settle into their own orbits just ahead and behind us in our yearly dance around the Sun. The two are studying the Sun and its coronal mass ejections.

Somebody to Love



This is what happens when I finally break down and buy the CDs.

=)

Happy Birthday, Rocket Man!

Our beloved Sir Elton John turns 60 today. He looks good for sixty. =)

And to celebrate he's doing his 60th performance at Madison Square Gardens tonight.

AND he's giving a birthday gift to US! He's making over 400 of his hits downloadable from the iTunes store...I should really go back and buy some of his earlier stuff. On the radio at 19 years old still loving what he does.

Bigots R Us!

And by US I mean the United States. I'm really getting sick of how thick-headed you people are in this country.

Check out the news on South Carolina.


They've officially banned gay marriages! ...Oh, wait, they already did. This is just the amendment to their state constitution banning any hope of civil unions, adoption or shared bank accounts for gay South Carolinians. Fuck it. Let's put a bounty on their heads while we're at it.

Whilst searching for a new article on this I found this guy's blog. He blogs. I blog back.

Visual Bach

I once saw this on some local TV channel, and I thought it was the coolest thing. Now I find all this guy's stuff on YouTube:

Tell me what you think!

Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy

Lyrics by Freddie Mercury

I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your valentino just for you

Ooh love - ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy

Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (Grow faster, faster)
Ooh ooh can you feel my love heat
Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after-all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing
Say the word - your wish is my command

Ooh love - ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Write my letter
Feel much better
And use my fancy patter on the telephone

When I'm not with you
I think of you always
(I miss those long hot summer nights)
I miss you
When I'm not with you
Think of me always
Love you - love you

Hey boy where do you get it from
Hey boy where did you go ?
I learned my passion in the good old
Fashioned school of loverboys

Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine precisely
One two three four five six seven eight nine o' clock
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style, in my saloon will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours that will be fine (Come on and get it)

Ooh love, (There he goes again just like a good old-fashioned lover boy)
Ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Everything's all right
Just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned fashioned lover boy

Race You to the Bottom

Justin Hartley gettin his junk rubbed for him in the movie Race You to the Bottom... recut as an instructional video, hehe.

Hot Stuff!!

Thanks to Stevie for NOT sharing what movie this is from. Had to go find it my damn self!

Hot Red Zone Commercial

Yea....I rubbed myself when I saw it on TV, hehe.





. . . and in the process of YouTubing for that I found this . . . kehehe

Operation: Bub-bye

Operation: Return to Sender is the US goverment's last ditch effort to at least dent the large number of illegal immigrants who are largely repeat felons, gang members, and the like. I heard on the radio (which along with the Internet is apparently where I get all news from lately) that they recently raided a school in California and deported a bunch of people.

A physical barrier like a fence is a feable but necessary effort. There are all kinds of other ways people can get into the US illegally, too. I wonder if Bush has discussed any of this with the Mexican president today or whether it was all about trade relations. We in America love our cheap shit!

Warning: Borderline (no pun intended) Conservative / Republican views expressed here!

Now, I feel that illegal immigration is a huge problem in the country. It's great if you wanna come to the US legally, get yourself nationalized, and pay taxes just like the rest of us, but if you're going to do it illegally, you should be deported. We've been too soft on illegal immigrants for too long. They're starting to teach history, math, and science in Spanish-only classes here in Charlotte. That's great for learning Spanish. Why not German or Japanese? Cuz it's not for those learning Spanish, it's for those that don't speak English to begin with. How do these kids make it through school without learning enough English to even get by in classes? If I enrolled in all Spanish classes, I think I'd do well and come out speaking Spanish much better.

I think it's ridiculous that we don't have an official federal language. It's up to each state to decide whether or not they want one or not. Letting the states come up with their own laws is going to be the downfall of this country. The united states are dividing themselves more and more. More ranting on that later.

A friend sent me this link. It's awfully hilarious.

My Kinda Town!

Willkommen zun



Quaint little Fucking, Austria...

The best part:

In 2004, due to the stolen signs and embarrassment over the name, a vote was held on changing the name, but the town's residents voted against doing so.

hehehe

Once again...

So I finally found another example...and again, I'm all embarrassed I didn't know of this song before.

Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise was straight stolen from Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise.




I don't know what it is with YouTube people posting videos with Anime; I really don't.

P.S. Thanks to Stevie for RIPPING my ABBA star off my card!

*rolls eyes*

Every Time!!!

Every time a new song comes out with a great beat that I just love.....

Come to find out they STOLE the shit YET AGAIN!!

I may have to start a little collection of these. (I have several others in mind I have to dig for.) This time, I'm personally embarrassed that I didn't know this one beforehand, hehe.

I give you...

ABBA - Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)

How did I miss this fashion fad??

Click for full-size pics.

I'm too sexy for my razor? lol

Seriously, a big disheveled bush hanging out is not exactly sanitary. But FUCK it's hot!! It's like I'm seeing way too much of something I shouldn't be seeing at all, which is what makes it so hot to begin with.... That's why I've always been a big fan of pulling the pants down just enough so that those hips are showing off and maybe a widening trail...but save some for the imagination!

Jakey's all WET!!

Colorful Language

Ann Coulter, a.k.a. Super Cunt, recently and indirectly called Senator John Edwards a "faggot" which momentarily silenced even her uber-conservative witch hunt audience. I'm sure you can YouTube it, as I have, but I won't be posting that bitch on my site. (Besides, it'll only be removed in a day or so, citing copyright enfringement anyway, right?) Instead, I wanted to briefly discuss the use of such queer words, their actual meanings, but most importantly their true intentions.

A real favorite of the Southern Baptists here in Jesusland is homosexual. (Pronounced without the U as Charlene Sugarbaker would say, homo-sex'-yil.) It's not only the word that was most used to describe our people in the past, but it's taken on a whole new clinical meaning as someone who is a perverse deviant, evidence to the fact that their unwaverying belief that it is a choice.

Which leads me to gay. Gay has become the norm for those more accepting and that of the media. Ghey, as it has been spelt by some, has taken the place of gay for the specific use of a universal adjective, describing anything some hetero doesn't like.

Oh, then there are the colorful ones for which UrbanDictionary has many definitions:

Pillow biter - Someone who receives such a ridiculous anal pounding from a man's penis, a foreign object, or in many cases close relatives with shampoo bottles, that they choose to bite down on their pillow for some relief from the pain and to muffle their moans of horrific gay pleasure.

Turd burglar - One who uses his tool to remove turds from another fellow's back passage.

Fudge packer - One who enjoys trucking on the Hershey Highway

Butt Pirate - A man who enjoys anal sex, akin to a Rump Raider or a Bum Ninja. This term is often associated with gay porn stars. Usage: The butt pirate enjoyed giving the cabin boy the plank.

Uphill gardener - A term that describes a bloke who uses his tool on a gradiant or a mucky slope

Shirt Lifter - British urban slang for a male homosexual who lifts his shirt to enable sexual access to another of the same sex anal intercourse.

Poo jabber - A homosexual male. Commonly heard in Australia and New Zealand.

Busycheeks - A frequent bottom

Ruby starfruit - A glistening young anus. Usage: How could the priest resist that ruby starfruit just beyond the confessional window?

PAHAHAHA!!!

For all those who keep telling me that mama knows...

She just told me that I should go to Sunday school to meet girls.

LMFAO!!

What I've been up to lately

Sorry for the long respite in my blog posts. I've all busy n shit, so I thought I'd clue you into what I've been up to lately.

Since 2006 was three-quarters filled with my first real steady job, at least in some way in my field of study in college, I finally got a tax return that was more than 100 bucks or so. The first thing I wanted to do when I got it was buy what I've been just aching for forever...



A 15" MacBook Pro

So I get to looking online, and they have quietly upgraded all the features on it since I last looked sometime last year. AND some time in spring of this year Apple's going to be releasing their lastest operating system OS X Leopard. Of course, Leopard will have all of the features of previous versions of OS X and of copy-cat Windows Vista, but in Leopard they're adding Boot Camp. The version you can download now allows you to chose whether or not you want to boot up your Mac in OS X or Windows. Leopard, however, will come standard with a similar program that actually lets you run Windows XP or Vista in its own Window with OSX still running in the background. No need for a PC anymore. How cool is that?

But then I begin to feel a little guilty. About this time last year, I completed a swath of expensive ass classes which I am now just really starting to pay for. They were all based on .NET which allows you to develop windows and web applications. The eventual goal is an MCSD, Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer, a certificate that will definitively state that I have completed all the training and testing and that I can do this stuff. As this stuff is in high-demand right now, having this title on the end of my name would secure me a well-paid job just about anywhere I chose. But first, I have to complete the tests which brings me to this:


Bottom to top: Two example tests, one course book and notes, two store-bought books on the topic.

And this is just for ONE test!

My dad and I had to build a bookcase for the other books, no shit. There are FIVE tests total. Each one contains about 200 multiple-choice questions varying in length from 1-3 pages. Each question usually covers a few nuances of the problem.

I decided to start studying for the hardest one first so that the rest don't seem so bad, taking them in decreasing difficulty, I guess. But what a daunting task I have! No wonder I've procrastinated so long!

Then I had an idea.

I'll set a goal and reward myself when I achieve it. The reward will be the laptop I've been wanting, and the goal will be to at least take that first hardest test...

So that's what I've been up to -- studying day and night. Sometimes I think I'm doing the right thing, sometimes I think I'm being too hard on myself, and sometimes I think I'm not being tough enough and that I need to pass TWO tests before I let myself get that laptop. Either way it's going to be a while, and I can't wait for it. Whichever it is, I still think I'm crazy for it.

What do you think?
