I imagine it has happened to all bloggers who attempt to post all kinds of shit on a daily basis. You either simply lose interest or you just get tired of reading all of the crap the world has to offer each day.I hit the wall last night during Sean Hannity’s discussion of Reverend Wrong.

1. Give us a little history of the start up and who is involved, name names..and what you think as far as each persons BEST personal gift or Talent to CRE8buzz? Ex. The Antman (to me)..The Voice : "Wow, a heavy question right out of the gate, dang girl, you don’t mess around. The buzz got started on an idea that social networks were cool, but hollow. We felt that there were millions of people with great ideas, talents, and experiences that needed a place to connect AND be seen for the talent. If you think about it, the first generation of social networks are not designed around the content,. Getting to the content wasn’t easy. cre8Buzz was designed around the content. We wanted to make it easy to find conten
“So…”, my 75-year-old retired engineer father-in-law begins, “what’s RJ’s report card look like???”. This was a question that took me by surprise in the middle of a homeschool day last week. How do I answer this so that I don’t have to take an hour away from our already constrained homeschool schedule yet do it succinctly [...]
By: Sadayoshi For those who don’t know, the term white elephant refers to anything that has only imaginary or perhaps aesthetic value for the owner, but has no practical or functional value. When applied to any Japanese used car for sale, it seems to merit quite some thought.To answer the question, one possible answer a collector of used Japanese cars might give is: no, my used Japanese cars still have practical and/or functional value. How so? Well, perhaps this car collector is still able to get some mileage out of his Japanese used cars. Perhaps on weekends, he brings one of his Japanese used cars out of his garage and takes his family out for a trip to church, or on a picnic to a nearby park, or even a bit further away to a beach for an afternoon of water-based activities. For such a person, his used Japanese cars would not be white elephants in the strictest sense of the use of the term because the vehicles can still be used though perhaps not as regularly as newer cars.Another
We've chronicled before just how vital a role "killer instinct" plays in any playoff contender's stretch run. At this point, it's almost laughable to suggest that any team without it might have a chance of playing in October; that's how far we've come. Yet, as much as we've done to counteract old, tired cliches about winning being a result of talent, mixed, perhaps, with a little luck, we grudgingly tip our caps to Newsday's Wallace Matthews, who can truthfully claim to have done more than any other member of the media to advance the notion that success depends entirely on desire. In fact, this idea means so much to Wallace that he's pretty much given up on writing about anything else. Here are the titles of 3 of his 5 most recent columns:Mets' lack of killer instinct vs. Phils: deadlyLack of killer instinct could hurt MetsThese Mets lack a killer instinctHad enough? If not, keep checking this space for more breaking killer instinct-related news.
I heard Tobias Buckell say in an interview at Adventures in Sci Fi Publishing that most writers need to write a good one million words of crap before coming up with anything publishable. Obviously this isn't always the case, but it got me thinking of how many words I have written.My total?276,377 words! Is that a lot? Granted, I've written loads more short stories than novel attempts, but that means I'm a little over a quarter of the way to that million. Is that a good thing? I don't know. Perhaps I'll break the mold with some short stories, but perhaps those aren't generally counted and Tobias was referring to novels, which would make sense.What about your word counts? Count everything that is fiction! All of it, even unfinished stuff!
Astrology for the Week of August 10 through August 16
This week not one, not two, not three, not four but five planets in the sign of Leo. The moon joins Mercury, Saturn and Venus, (who backpedaled from Virgo just to join the party) on the eleventh. The stage is set for the fun to begin.
We will be treated to extra chorus’ of “haven’t you noticed how wonderful I am?” As the sun wends its way through the last half of Leo, a theme emerges as this outstanding stellium of sun centric energy appears to be suspended by the tension aspect, the opposition, to the planet Neptune.
Neptune, as with all the other planets, teaches us about something outside our mundane lives. If there is a surface to Neptune, which is classified as a gas giant, we don’t see it. It would be captured under the swirling mists of methane gas, is not visible to the eye. Oh, we see Neptune. It looks from afar to be beautiful. Closer, we see its swirling cloud formations and faint rings, still amazing. Bu
A week or so ago Everything Last Winter from Fields arrived in my mailbox. What looked to be an ordinary compact disc has turned out to be a quite a nice surprise. After a few listens, I'm a little disappointed that I won't be able to catch the band tomorrow night at Chicago's Empty Bottle. I do (however) suggest that you head out to one of my favorite venues tomorrow (Wednesday, 5/16) night to check out this British/Icelandic quartet that takes what might be simple folk-rock songs and add gorgeous male/female vocal harmonies and huge swells of fuzzed-out atmospheric guitars to the mix. I quite like it, but I'm a sucker for noise. Many folks have commented that Everything Last Winter is a dark album but I just don't hear it. The melodies are shimmering, the backbeat is driving, and there may be some minor key rockin' going on, but its not full of doom and gloom. There are lovely and quiet acoustic moments, but (as with most good noisy bands) Fields isn't afraid to get the
I’ll be upfront about one thing, I shop at Wal-Mart, when I have to (aka the wife says go), but I’m not proud of it. I shop at Wal-Mart because there is not one single mom and pop grocery store in my area. Not one. So I have the option of paying top dollar (for better quality mind you) at Albertsons, or damn near wholesale prices at Wal-Mart. Well since I’m not a rich man I head to Wal-Mart. And that’s exactly what they want, and why they do what they do.
You see Wal-Mart has tricked us all. They’ve tricked us into thinking thats what things cost and that it’s everyone else who is just greedy. But what you don’t see behind the scenes is Wal-Mart’s ruthless business tactics felt world wide. They have single handedly lowered the minimum wage in China to under thirty cents an hour by forcing companies to sale products so low that they have to outsource the labor to other countries. Which obviously takes high paying jobs away from Americans a
How pleasant to do nothing,and then rest a while. Spanish ProverbNow, we know what you're thinking - not least because of the brain implant we popped into your cerebral cortex when you were asleep last night. Sorry if that itches by the way. And sorry if your nose is a bit runny - we have to get in somewhere. And sorry if you're experiencing blinding headaches, intensely colourful hallucinations, night terrors, and vivid flashbacks to strange encounters with men in white suits. Oh, and the intercranial bleeding and/or sudden death. These side-effects are all part of the intense experience that is T4td Corp's new Internal Tracking products (or IT (TM) for short). Don't worry, it will be worth it - for us anyway.Where were we? Ah yes. You were thinking that we were indulging in cheap racial stereotyping and suggesting that our Spanish friends are less than industrious. Actually - no. We just don't do that sort of thing because it just isn't British. Ho
