Junkies

It doesn’t take a PhD to spot a fake when they come across one. The most influential society of our time happens to be the fakest, and that’s obvious to us all. Nowadays “reality” TV is more dramatic than a soap opera. An actor representing the average Joe is more ripped than a rape victim’s dress, and the “girl next door” sports a porn star body and face meant for the big screen. Normally one might think deceptive television would be harmless, in fact it would be pointless if television wasn’t a bit unreal and imaginative. However in today’s society where minds are weak and impressionable and naivety rules, the damage done by false TV is harmful in many ways. It’s making future generations crazy; they are putting too much weight on appearances and have forgotten intell

1. I will try to figure out why I *really* need 7 e-mail addresses. 2. I will stop sending e-mail to my wife. 3. I resolve to work with neglected children—my own. 4. I will answer my snail mail with the same enthusiasm with which I answer my e-mail. 5. I resolve to back up my 10GB hard drive [...]

I have been blogging for like 4 years now and have come across many irritating bloggers. Even I was one, but then I improved to become more tolerable. So here are a list of bloggers I hate: 1. Those who share a link to their blog post which directs you to the original article. Many times, I find links on the SocialWeb (Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, FriendFeed, Digg) that has an interesting text around it, that makes me click it. For example a link with a text 50 posters of Elizabeth Hurley. But once I click it I got to a blog post which reads “I was browsing today and I found this amazing site which has a collection of 50 posters of Elizabeth Hurley”. That pisses me off. Why can’t you just share the link to the original article and save me some time and bandwidth? Most peo

Just recently ago I stumbled across this website and simply had to share it with you. It was not one of those typical sites that you normally come across. You know the ones that have to do with M-L-M, Resale Rights, Freebie Sites, or anything like that. No, it had nothing to do with making mo.ney with [...]

I am a recovering addict. No. Not drugs. Junk food. I filled my body with it on a regular basis. Chocolate, soda, fast food, chips and any other thing I could find that I thought tasted good. Junk food fueled my life. It wasn’t a very healthy choice for me. As a matter of fact, the various junk food that I was consuming were the very things that I disposed of when I started cleaning the “yuckie” things out of my life. First went sodas. Pepsi was my drug of choice. Nothing could compare. Oh how good it tasted straight from the fridge. Icy cold. Smooth and sweet. When I was stressed, I could down a whole one without a breath. I still crave them. More than anything that I have tossed out. Pepsi still haunts me. Then, I got rid of all packaged sweets. You know, twinkies, candy bars

Y'all, I need some serious help. Actually, my kitchen needs the help, but I probably do, too. Annnnywayyyy....OK, so the picture below is our kitchen right before we moved in, that's why it looks so bare and has no refrigerator. It's been exactly a year since we moved in and we've yet to make the necessary improvements I want, but that's about to change. Only, I am so hopeless when it comes to color schemes and paint and all that stuff. That's where YOU come in. I need ideas...opinions....or just someone to say, "Bless your heart that's the fugliest kitchen I've ever seen". The only changes we made after moving in was purchasing a new refrigerator and a new stove that has a smooth top range. I heart me some smooth top ranges...so easy to clean. So that fugly stove in the picture i

Surprisingly enough, this morning when I checked my emails I only found one single message waiting for me. Fortunately, that was from Scott, the creative director of Thread Junkies, urging me to check out his shirts. And I did. Thread Junkies is the type of site that captivates you right away. The designs are in some way positive (well ok, except of the Deaddies) focusing more on meaningful ideas and personalities rather than just stating their dislikes. Thread Junkies print on American Apparel shirts and will charge you $22 for one of these cuties ;-)

If you're really into the stock market or know someone who is, then you know how hard it is to find good stock market gifts during the holidays. So hopefully I can give you some ideas with some products I really enjoy myself.

I’ve been an amusement park junkie for most of my life. Z is old enough now that she’s becoming one as well. If there’s a world capital of amusement parks, it’s Orlando, Florida with roughly a dozen different parks to choose from. With so many options figuring out which tickets to purchase and how to get the best values is far more complex than planning almost any other trip. Luckily, Orlando Fun Tickets exists and is available to everyone. They off everything you need to prepurchase your tickets to Orlando amusements from Disney World Tickets to discounts for Orlando dinner theaters. If it can be done in Orlando and needs a ticket (and what doesn’t these days), then Orlando Fun Tickets can probably save you money. none

Cowboy Junkies have been around for almost twenty years, and I don't know why they are not more widely appreciated.But actually the early decision to wrest control of their musical destiny away from a major label is one reason the band is still around and in one piece . However this has also resulted in marginal popularity.They are a Canadian rawkish band. I hesitate to label it as country/western, except that it is what it is, but in the sense of dusty side streets in little towns on the North American Prairie.Front person Margot Timms is smoking hot. But did look better before she cut her hair:)I guess it is kind of incestuous in that all the members of the band are Timms, except one. But somehow it has a different appeal than the Osmonds –and of course is a long ways away from the Joe Jackson clan.Some critics have criticized them for becoming too commercial. I don't know-- when these critics talk about the band back in the day, like in places like The Commodore in Vancouve

People now no longer care about being talented or being good at something they just care about being famous. Programmes like X-Factor, Pop Idol etc give these people the chance to be on TV as it seems that the worse you are at singing the more chance you have of actually getting on TV and in to millions of home across the country...

Recently I was sat at my local train station and I saw a billboard advert for a book by Ben Elton titled ‘Chart Throb’. The book I believe is a comical / satirical look at reality TV shows like Pop Idol and X-Factor with a fictionalised story based on the people who enter, are involved in or watch these programmes. I am yet to read a copy but after doing some research I have found out that this book has been out for some time but has recently been released in to paperback.I may one day pick up a copy as it sounds like an interesting book but it wasn’t the story that got me interested in this billboard it was the tag line at the bottom of the billboard which caught my eye which read ‘Fame Junkies’. This got me thinking and the more I thought about it the more I agreed with it. We are now living in a society where it seems that everyone is a fame junkie and wants their five minutes of fame.People now no longer care about being talented or being good at something they just care

“It’s the worst place ever . . . this place is known as the ghetto.” Gladys Regnier, who lives in a public housing complex at Southdale Road and Millbank Drive. This is no place to raise a child, says Gladys Regnier. The mother of three wanted to leave the London neighbourhood even before a local teen intentionally hit her eight-year-old son in the face with a golf club.

If you are like me and believe that coffee is one of the essentials of life, you will be delighted to see the following facts. Test subjects dosed with the amount found in a cup of coffee come out ahead on problem-solving tasks. By triggering the release of adrenaline to help muscles work harder and longer, caffeine so clearly enhances athletic performance that until 2004 it was considered a controlled substance by the International Olympic Committee. The latest findings on coffee suggest that it even staves off disease. Caffeine reduces the risk of Parkinson’s disease, for example, by blocking receptors for adenosine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in motor function. It is now being tested as a Parkinson’s treatment. Caffeine also heads off migraines by contracting blood vessels in the brain. Coffee, like blueberries and broccoli, contains potent antioxidants. It appears to reduce t

via The Existentialist Cowboy by Len Hart on Jul 24, 2007US involvement in Iraq is complicated by weird theology. Fundamentalist Christians insist upon an unconditional pro-Israeli policy no matter what! Israel is God's chosen nation. To oppose Israel, they say, is to damn our nation to hell. Another complication is our nation's symbiotic relationship with oil producing "infidels". GOP faithful believe that middle east oil is somehow ours to plunder. Many openly boast of stealing Iraqi oil. I call these SUV lovers, Oil Junkies for Jesus. For them, waging war for oil is not a war crime, it's a crusade, it's not an atrocity its a commandment. SUV's are not abominable energy hogs, they are God's own chariot. While we fear the mother of all energy crunches, Hubbert's Peak, oil junkies for Jesus look forward to just flying away from it all.In 1956, geophysicist, M. King Hubbert, working at the Shell research lab in Houston, TX based, predicted that US oil production would peak in the

Here they are attending the lavish star studded Welcome to LA Beckhams party last night.

Salon.com has an article describing how Condoleezza Rice was instrumental in the formation of the Iraq Study Group.  This is an independent group that is now advising President Bush on Iraqi policy. If this account is accurate, Condi had to outflank both Rumsfeld and Cheney, as well as the Pentagon. Political observers say Rice’s role in establishing the group is telling, saying that it has the look of a deft strategic maneuver around core hard-liners in the administration who had kept a grip on Iraq policy. “If she is acting on her own it is a bureaucratic end run around the Pentagon, a mechanism to allow her to leverage a new policy,” noted Douglas Foyle, a political science professor at Wesleyan University. “It might be the State Department had been shut out [by the Pentagon] for some time, and this was their way of getting back in,” noted Christopher Gelpi, a professor of political science at Duke University. If this scenario plays out and ou
