I had an argument with a pastor yesterday at the airport after he had insisted our group to bow our head down for a prayer before we leave.
Extremist: why?
Pastor: So we can be safe in the hands of the lord.
Extremist: Why you think just prayers can save us if there is some unnoticed technical fault?
Pastor: Because everything is possible for the lord. Men have fear in them and knowing their lives is safe in the hands of the lord satisfies that fear.
Extremist: Really?
Paster: Yes
Extremist: Who told you that?
Paster: I know that because i'm a man of God.
Extremist: Do you know that fear is the ONLY natural instinct that has helped man to survive over the centuries?
Paster: No, that is untrue. It's the lord and his words that has survived man.
Extremist: Oh, now there you go. Have you forgotten God destroyed cities, women, children, men? He never forgave even the children who were innocent? You think God ever wanted man to survive? What about that?
Pastor: Please sire, we have to go. God bless you.
Extremist: God bless you too and pray nothing is wrong with the plane!
Now, this little convo seems to have revealed so much to me.
Who's point is valid? I or the pastor? My point was fear is the ONLY natural instinct that has helped man to survive, whereas the pastor insist it's God and his words.
Well, it was a surprise to me anyway. Panorama on opencast mining last night was mainly focussed on the damage it was doing on the countryside and I have to agree it is a problem, especially to the locals. But I was both surprised and relieved that the government, despite its strong claims on the control of carbon emissions, is in fact approving the use of one of our best assets, coal, for our supplies of energy. Maybe it's because their dithering in getting new nuclear staions on stream in time? Two points - as far as the damage to the countryside is concerned, the mining companies are contracted to landscape when they have finished and some axamples shown were impressive. Secondly, it does look as though technology is making some progress on carbon capture and that might help comfort the eco-fanatics.
Looks like someone forgot to shave! Check out this picture of Beyonce at the Cadillac Records movie premiere. It looks like she hasn't shaved her pits in days....it's curling up!!!!!!
Keith Urban will launch his 2009 tour in May with supporting acts to include Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, Glen Campbell, Lady A and the Zac Brown Band.
Taylor Swift in turn is set to launch her very own headlining tour (on top of touring with Keith) and is supposed to have Kellie Pickler as her supporting act.
Sugarland, Miranda Lambert and Lady A are also reportedly going to be opening acts for Kenny Chesney's 2009 tour.
OMG! Who did this to their hands? LOL! What's with that pinky nail? SCARY!
Jim Jones is trying to make headlines once more by making outrageous statements!! He says he's no longer using the N-Word. He has plans to use President Elect Barack Obama's name instead. He told SOHH:
"Shouts to all my Obamas--the N word is out the Obamas is in. They beeyatches is out ant eh Michelles is in. So if your lady get you mad, you say, "Michelles, you betta get out of here before I slap the thunder out of you....Let me stop playing, but that's how we doin' it this year...
Really Jim Jones? Why don't you go take a bath?

One of the astronauts aboard The Endeavour lost a $100,000 "tool bag" while on a spacewalk about a month ago. It now joins over 17,000 objects out in space known as "space junk" (again, sounds dirty) that can be a HUGE hazard to everything out there as it whizzes by at 5 miles per second; it could blast a hole in the space station or even enter the atmosphere and plummet to earth.
First question is: "What the hell's in a tool bag that makes it cost so much?"... maybe a gold plated, diamond-encrusted claw hammer? Nope, just a couple of grease guns and some rags.... SERIOUSLY!
Second thing is: "What's going to happen to all of that junk out in orbit around the earth?"... the answer is nobody knows. Much of it stays up there floating around for years while others enter the atmosphere and burn up as it falls to earth.
Cool thing is that you can actually SEE the "lost tool bag" with some binoculars and a trained eye. Check out this footage shot by some Canadian dude of said bag as it rockets across the night sky...

A gay rights group plans to protest the December 12th wedding of Gov. Charlie Crist and Carole Rome. They're upset over his support of Ammendment 2 which bans same-sex marriages. They say they'll be peaceful and wear pink.... I'm not making that up.
I think they should come up with some chants if they're going to be outside protesting...like maybe this one: Click Here (Listen!)
El culo. Maravillosa parte del cuerpo humano. Todo un canto a la sensualidad y al erotismo, especialmente cuando es bonito o se tiene uno (ya se sabe que hay quien luce un simple tajo al final de la espalda). El culo, en definitiva, es uno de los puntos estratégicos de nuestro cuerpo a la hora de estimular eróticamente a nuestros semejantes. Resulta paradójico pues, que algo tan apetecible o llamativo, haya generado en nuestro lenguaje diario expresiones claramente negativas como 'ir de culo', 'estar como el culo' o 'quedar como el culo'. Por cierto, hablando de esto último. La semana pasada se me ocurrió incluir en un post en el que hablaba de videojuegos la carátula de un juego inexistente extraída de un foro de internet en el que la gente cuelga sus fotos (reales o simplemente trucadas) con fines humorísticos o provocadores. El problema es que no cité su procedencia y hay quien se ha creído que tal juego existe. Y no. Mea culpa por no aclararlo en el pie de foto. No me duelen prendas en pedir perdón a quien corresponda, además de alucinar también un poco por la credulidad de algunas personas (por no hablar de la credibilidad que presuntamente poseo, con la cara que tengo). En cualquier caso, como decía Sandro Giacobbe (un italiano que cantaba): "no lo volveré a hacer más".
Volviendo al tema del culo. La atracción por unos cuartos traseros voluptuosos es algo consustancial al ser humano. Cuando en cualquier encuesta sobre hábitos sexuales se nos pregunta en qué nos fijamos primero de una persona, el culo suele ocupar uno de los primeros puestos en cuanto a preferencias visuales, tanto masculinas como femeninas. Probablemente se deba a alguna reminiscencia inconsciente de nuestro pasado más animal. De hecho, numerosas especies de mamíferos exhiben esplendorosos y llamativos panderos, especialmente en épocas de celo y furor hormonal. Aunque los seres humanos tenemos la suerte, o la desgracia según se mire, de estar siempre predispuestos a dar rienda suelta a nuestros instintos más carnales y nuestros glúteos no se hinchan o deshinchan en función de perentorias necesidades amorosas, la visión de ciertas curvas anatómicas nos sumen en un estado de, digámoslo así, en plan fino, lúbrica inquietud. De la misma manera que una sonrisa abre muchas puertas, un culo majestuoso las dinamita.
Al indudable impacto visual que producen muchos culos, hay que sumar su extraordinaria función erógena gracias al gran número de terminaciones nerviosas que confluyen en dicha parte de nuestra anatomía, cuya estimulación durante el acto sexual o los preliminares, mediante fricciones o pequeñas palmadas, puede resultar de lo más efectiva. En las mujeres son más efectivos los masajes suaves que levantan y abren las nalgas más que los que las aplastan o cierran. En nuestro caso, somos más agradecidos a pequeños golpecitos o masajes fuertes. Ya en plan unisex, también podemos hablar del cachete inesperado, que oxigena los capilares de la zona que es un primor. En casos más extremos, los hay que prefieren recurrir a una pala de 'spanking'. En cualquier caso, preguntad primero, porque no a todo el mundo le hace gracia que le queden las posaderas como un tomate después de una noche (o una tarde) toledana.
La importancia erótica de las nalgas también ha sido explotada por el mundo de la publicidad. Muchos recordaréis, por ejemplo, el anuncio de una marca de tónica que protagonizó el actor Eduardo Noriega y su culo. Si es que era el suyo. No es que ponga en duda la calidad 'nalguística' de este actor, pero no te puedes fiar. Por ejemplo, el trasero más famoso de Hollywood es el de una tal Anita Hart. Se trata de una actriz desconocida para el gran público que ha 'prestado' su culo en numerosas películas, para sustituir los de grandes estrellas, que no lo tienen tan mono, como Pamela Anderson, Liz Hurley, Cindy Crawford o Demi Moore. Siguiendo con la cuestión, uno de los descubridores de Marilyn Monroe afirmó al verla que esa chica tenía "un gran futuro por detrás" y lo cierto es que la historia del celuloide está llena de otros estupendos ejemplos de benditas redondeces femeninas y masculinas. Con algún que otro borrón, como el culo 'galletero' de Michael Douglas...
El deseo por tener un culo bonito está llevando a algunos hombres a no dudar en comprarse unos bottom-bra (unos calzoncillos con unas protuberancias a la altura de las nalgas) o someterse a operaciones de cirugía estética en las que se colocan implantes de silicona en dicha zona. Lo cierto es que hay alternativas más sanas y menos arriesgadas como apuntarse a un gimnasio o subir a pie las escaleras del metro o del trabajo. Cuando os encontréis con alguna escalera mecánica averiada en el metro (especialmente en conexiones entre líneas en las que se asciende literalmente del infierno), en lugar de acordaros del consejero de transportes o la autoridad municipal o autonómica que más gorda os caiga (o sus madres), pensad en lo bien que le viene a vuestro trasero tanto ejercicio. Todo en aras de un culito deseable y respingón.

Ok, so I've mentioned this before in some forums posts, and so I'm just gonna state it here now.
I wish to work with Capcom in the future. It may be working directly inside Capcom or it may be with a developer that is strongly associated with Capcom (Like how Clover Studios was). I do have this idea for not just a video game, but a franchise even. A sci-fi trilogy with its story I have been developing for over a year and a half. However, its best if I don't talk about it for now. However, since I put so much time into the story, I decided I would write the trilogy as set of novels first before I start working towards the games.
If you missed Britney's performance and birthday celebration on Good Morning America this morning let me just tell you that I wish the best for her and she IS indeed back, BUT I was NOT impressed with her performance. What happened to her choreography and booty shaking? She used to be such a great entertainer! Her body is definitely back in shape and she's back with the popularity and album, but I need her to get her CONFIDENCE BACK! Check it out:
Before joining The Smiths, Andy Rourke had played guitar and bass in various rock bands, as well as in the short lived funk band Freak Party, often with his school friend John Maher (the future Johnny Marr). When Marr and Morrissey formed the Smiths, Rourke joined the band after their second gig, and remained with the band almost throughout its existence. Marr claims that Rourke's contribution to The Queen Is Dead LP was "something no other bass player could match". Rourke was briefly sacked from the Smiths over drugs abuse, resulting in a weekend prison sentence, which was posted on TV news. The brief dismissal of Rourke came in the form of a note left by Morrissey under the windscreen wiper of his car; "Andy, you have left The Smiths. Good luck and goodbye, Morrissey".
However, in May 1986 Rourke rejoined the Smiths, just before the release of The Queen Is Dead album. Immediately after the break-up of the band, Rourke and Smiths drummer Mike Joyce played with Sinéad O'Connor - Rourke (but not Joyce) appears on the album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. They also, along with Craig Gannon, provided the rhythm section for two singles by former Smiths singer Morrissey - "Interesting Drug" and "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" - and Rourke composed the music for Morrissey's songs "Yes, I Am Blind," "Girl Least Likely To," and "Get Off the Stage." Rourke also played bass on "November Spawned a Monster" and "Piccadilly Palare". Rourke has also played and recorded with The Pretenders (appearing on some of the tracks on 1994's Last of the Independents); Killing Joke, Badly Drawn Boy, Aziz Ibrahim (formerly of the Stone Roses), and ex-Oasis guitarist Bonehead as Moondog One, which also includes Mike Joyce and Craig Gannon. Rourke was originally involved, with Mike Joyce, in legal action against Morrissey and Marr in a dispute over royalties . However, while Joyce continued with the action, Rourke opted to settle out of court and was subsequently declared bankrupt.
Rourke and his Production Company with long time Manager Nova Rehman, Great Northern Productions, organised Manchester Vs. Cancer, an anti-cancer concert in Manchester in January 2006. The concert was a response to learning that Nova's father Sheik Abdur, and sister Nina had been diagnosed with cancer. He unveiled Johnny Marr (his old bandmate in The Smiths) as one of the performers taking part.
Rourke is a DJ on Xfm Manchester, broadcasting new and classic indie anthems on Saturday nights. He is currently in a band called Freebass with bass players Mani (ex-The Stone Roses) and Peter Hook (New Order) and vocalist Gary Briggs. He organised Manc
