I was watching news today, and noticed a special about a woman that just had 8 children. She had already had 6 children prior to this birth. When CNBC was going through its TWITTER responses, most of the people keep talking about how "Its her choice" and "It's America, she can do what she wants".... I can't help but yell: "ARE YOU TOTALLY FUCKING STUPID OR WHAT?????". Trust me, I expect to get some harsh feedback for this, but I have plenty of experience with my point I actually want to make. Think NOT about the choice that a smart, financially stable person can make. Think instead, of the underprivileged, under-educated population that makes up over 80% of the world ...
For way too long, I keep asking myself: "Why do ignorant people think they are cars?" Every time I go to the store, a shop, or even to the Arena to see a show, inevitably there are several people walking in the middle of the road. They are just waddling along not paying attention to anything in the world. Then after about 200', they finally glance behind them to notice "Oh My, there is a car behind me!" And the stupidity is passed down to the children that they are walking with. Really, is it more than common sense to get the fuck out of the road. At least that is what I was taught growing up. This IMHO, is the result of a government protecting people from themselves. ...
I created a blog the other day, http://blincmagazine.com/forum/blogs...adventure.html, this talked about my adventure to Philly to See Metallica o January 17th, 2009. I got to the ALoft Sheridan Hotel at the PHL Airport, and 1st off, BOOK your Philly trip there! It was awesome! I spent a good deal of Saturday working on a Java class I teach, and the rest of my time trying to secure tickets to the show. I did not find any. But I did find 2 guys getting a cab that I shared or $10 to the show. Then the 1st ticket guy I saw, said he had section 112 (almost center), but might be row 20+. So I said let me see the seats. He ran to get the single ticket, ...
OK, so I woke this morning, and it was -22 degrees with windchill. ARE YOU KIDDING???? And Pittsburgh did not get the worst of it. I hear it gets worse by -10 to -40 degrees below. I step out the house this morning to warm up the car. At first, seems like no big deal. Then as I am running around the car scraping ice off, the burning sting sets in. I run back inside for shelter. saved..... right. Next time, I get all my warm gear back on, then my headphones to give me a break for the freezing silence of 6:00 am. When I finally get into the car and close the door, after about 15-20 seconds, I see my headphone cables are stiff as ...

I have been an Metallica fan since 1985 when a band mate, taught me 'Seek and Destroy' that I never heard before then. The same year I saw Metallica for the 'Ride the lightening' tour in Houston Texas. This was my 3rd or fourth concert ever. Iron Maiden was my first concert btw... :-O My wife is a commercial pilot, so I get to fly for next to free anywhere, anytime. This come in handy when I am traveling for work, but until now, have never used it for any strange adventures.... (i know, I know....) OK, so I woke up this morning in Pittsburgh PA and it was -22 with windchill. WTF! Not only am I away from home, I am freaking out about the cold. Michelle is also ...
