Holding Hands Posted: 6/30/2006 10:58:40 PM
I was on a bus the other day and a couple of twelve year olds (they were young) were crossing the street holding hands and I thought it was one of the sweetest things I had seen in a long time. It just made me burst out smiling. There were a couple of girls sitting next to me and they saw it and just went "OHHH that is so cute!" I think they really wished they were in a relationship that pure and innocent.

Alcoholism, the rise and fall of a relationship. Posted: 6/30/2006 10:42:50 PM
That girl would have pulled you down into a 'Ring Of Fire' if you took a patient attitude with her. I knew a girl like that and she was one of the funniest and best friends (platonic) I ever had. Her drinking really got on my nerves and pissed me off, but I haven't seen her in 10 years and wish we could be friends again. But I don't miss her drinking I guess it comes down to how much patience and uderstanding you have.

Should I contact an old crush I found on MySpace? Posted: 6/30/2006 10:28:17 PM
I went on MySpace the other night and went looking for an old crush I hadn't seen in a year. With a bit of clever logic and luck I actually located her on there. I couldn't sleep that night after seeing her again. She's single and judging by her comments on there is angry at men and doesn't seem to have any interest in dating anybody and is really down on love. I would treat her like a queen if it was up to me. Our relationship was pretty nonverbal. She would smile when I would come into the lunchroom and vice versa. If I would talk to a another girl in front of her she would look suddenly nervous. I want to contact her, but I know it would might come off as weird. I think I'm just going to write a simple 3 sentence note- "Stumbled across your profile. Nice seeing you again! Best wishes." And see what happens. Any suggestions on what I should do or say? Should I do nothing?

prepaid cell phone programs Posted: 6/24/2006 3:34:26 PM
I have a prepaid Virgin Mobile and love it! I only pay 20 dollars every three months. the rates are 25 cents for the first 10 minutes a day then it's 10 cents a minutes. I don't really need a cell phone that bad and it's perfect for me. I basically use it to stay connected and not so much for socialising.

Britney Spears on Dateline NBC. Did you see it? Posted: 6/19/2006 9:37:53 PM
I read this in The Page Six syndicated newspaper column. It confirms what I thought. "Neither of her publicists, Leslie Sloane Zelnick or Nanci Ryder, showed up," said our source. Spears insisted on doing her own hair and makeup - a regrettable decision. Web sites derided her hair as a "rat's nest" and, when she started crying during the interview, one of her fake eyelashes fell off. "When [the NBC crew] got there, they thought they had the wrong day . . . During the interview, no one was there to rein things in," we're told... Reps tried to control the damage on Friday. "They asked NBC not to release footage to places like E!," said a source. Asked why Spears was on her own for the interview, Sloane Zelnick said, "Britney is a grown-up and makes her own decisions."

Are we God? Posted: 6/18/2006 3:13:21 PM
It reminds me of a Buddhist story I heard where a young boy heard a sermon that he and everything are God. He misinterprets the sermon and decides he going to go stand in the middle of the street in front of a charging elephant because thinking he's God shouldn't fear anything. Of course he gets trampled and hurt and then asks the preacher who told him he was God why the elephant ran him over anyway. The preacher tells him, "well why didn't you listen to God and and get out of the street?"

Any Starting Over fans???? Posted: 6/16/2006 10:17:54 PM
The women on that show are alot more interesting than the scripted women on the soaps they're competing against. But my problem with that show is the same I have with the soaps- too much crying and hugging and it's like one never ending chick flick. The show needs to lighten up.

explaining death to 4yr old Posted: 6/16/2006 9:58:13 PM
My Mother died about two months ago and my four year old niece wanted out of the viewing after a minute, so she went out to the lobby and played with her mom during the funeral. But after the funeral was over she was picking flowers and playing with the flowers by the open casket like it was no big thing. Go figure? Kids can be pretty resilient don't underestimate them.

Britney Spears on Dateline NBC. Did you see it? Posted: 6/16/2006 9:38:46 PM
Anybody see it and have any comments on it? I really hope she tuned in and saw how foolish she looked. She sat there the whole time chewing gum wearing a slutty looking maternity blouse (were they real?) And a micro mini skirt, and I swear I saw her uncross her legs and thought I saw a flash of her panties (white). And her hair was all messed up like she didn't bother to take a brush to it before going on camera. She was trying to set the record straight on her mothering skills and all the bad press about it, but I think the interview just did the opposite and she just came off looking like a irresponsible party girl mom type. All in all, I think she came off as pretty likable and I think I have a much more favorable opinion of her after watching it. And I honestly felt bad for her when she started crying about the rudeness of the stalkerazzi hounding her everywhere.

Have we as Americans, forgotten the cost of Freedom? Posted: 5/31/2006 3:08:45 PM
What makes you think the price of freedom is we have to go out kill people? I'll grant you in many cases it is. But much of the cost of freedom is people being vigilant towards those in power, especially Bush. The price of freedom to me is people reading and being informed on what's going on and going out and voting on election to keep the politicians in line. The threat to freedom can come from within just as it can from a foreign power. Let me tell you about Bush for example and what he thinks of freedom of sppech. If you had gone to one his rallys during his last run for office and wore a John Kerry pin The Secret Service would have grabbed and questioned you and thrown you out as a threat. And let's not forget about unauthorized wiretaps and torture. According Watergate's John Dean he's worse than Nixon in terms of paranoia and wanting secrecy and control. I think Bush and alot other politicians in Washington are more of threat to freedom than Saddam ever was.

confused about illegal immigrants, need an answer Posted: 5/30/2006 10:59:17 PM
I have challenge for the Minutemen. That fence your building I hear is being done by unpaid volunteers. My challenge is this- put an ad in the paper asking for paid workers who don't mind grabing a shovel and want do hard manual labor in the hot desert sun putting up a fence. No one will call!! You'll be going down to the local Home Depot looking for day laborers the very next day. Either that or you'll find yourself working with some thug who calls who go by the name "Lil' Psycho" and wishing you had gone to Home Depot and hired the illegals.

The Onion News, Love it or Hate it... Posted: 5/30/2006 10:30:43 PM
I can remember a couple of fake stories on there that made me laugh out loud. One was called "Pregnant Teen doesn't care whether it's a boy or girl just hopes it's not 'all ucked up and hit'." The other one was an opinion piece by an old man who was fed up with foul language in hardcore porn films.

I gotta know. What possesses a man to dress up like a cowboy? Posted: 5/29/2006 6:14:25 PM
That's just the way they've always dressed where they cam from and what's feels right. If you come to L.A go Downtown or East L.A. you'll see more than a few Hispanic men walking around with the Ranchero look- cowboy hat and boots. I don't even give it a second look because it's so common.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH COUNTRY MUSIC? Posted: 5/29/2006 4:19:20 PM
I don't hate country music. But it has this image that the country music establishment is made up of proud Aryan Dixie Flag waving Dukes Of Hazzard Hee Haw watching Republicans. That's the Country music establishment. Turn on the Country Music Awards and it's a convention of these people. On the other side of the fence are the outsider smarty pants open minded liberal country people types who don't fit in that Nashville establishment and are looked upon as admired outsiders or with open disgust- Dixie Chicks, Allison Kraus, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and others usually only heard on satellite alt country stations or seen Austin City Limits. I listen the latter and have no interest in listening to the former. Those people give country music a bad image and finding anything uncliched or interesting by that first group is a tough task. I guess what it comes down to is Country music has it's own blue state vs. red state thing going on.

Whats your favourite MLB baseball team, and why?? Posted: 5/28/2006 8:31:33 PM
My favorite team is the Dodgers. I became a fan when I was young boy in the late 70's. I have really fond memories going to bed at night and listening to Vin Scully calling games on the radio. He would completly grab my imagination as a boy and still does when I listen to him. But I look back on those days and he was almost like a surrogate dad (I had no dad and my mom worked late) so he was really special to me growing up. He was like a dad I never had telling me bedtime stories. We Dodger fans are really fortunate to have the all around acknowledged best baseball broadcaster ever. It's going to be a sad day in couple of years or so when he hangs it up after over 60 years.

Dixie Chicks and freedom of speech Posted: 5/28/2006 7:23:15 PM
I was just reading in The L.A. Times a couple of days ago that their new CD is poised to enter the charts at No.1 with about 450,00 CDs sold. Which I take to interpret that the backlash is more of a media hype of a few right wingers on talk radio blowing steam and a few others. Selling half a miilions CD's in a single week doesn't sound like all that many people are upset with them or much of a real backlash. They're as popular as ever and shouldn't worry. I bought the CD the first day it came out to show my vote of support for them. The CD is wonderful. Not a bad song on it. It's not going to surprise me if they get Grammy nominations for it.

What is the true nature of UFO's? Posted: 5/22/2006 8:28:32 PM
The people who really know what's going on are NORAD because they can track a soda can orbiting the Earth. But they don't discuss the ability of their technology for security reasons. It's rumored the code word for UFO's is Fastwalkers. If you do a Google on the word Fastwalkers you'll see alot sites and rumours about what they're seeing orbiting Earth.

I have to watch Lost and American Idol. I'm hooked on Lost and I stop whatever I'm doing to watch it. I have no idea what's going to happen next which keeps me watching week after week. Didn't anybody actually think there was a a guy in the hatch punching numbers into a computer to save the world? What's that about? American Idol is just dumb entertaining fun. But after those 2 shows it's slim pickings.

I enjoy the music at Starbucks more than anything at home. I go there everyday and get a coffee, read the paper, and listen to the music. I actually want to get a sattelite radio so I can get the Starbucks channel and play the music at home!

If you were a Film Producer/Director what would you make? Posted: 5/22/2006 2:31:04 PM
If you had the power to make any book or put anybodys life story on the big screen what would it be? I would love to see a movie about Alan Turing because outside of the world of science he's really not a household name and should be. In brief, he was a Englishman who solved the cryptology of the Nazi Enigma machine which gave the British the upper hand in fighting the Nazis in the Atlantic, he's considered the father of the computer, world class distance runner, philospher, his ideas on Quantum computers were way ahead of his time, and was arrested for being openly gay by the British Govt.. He took the choice of chemical castration over prison time and it caused him to grow breasts and he became so depressed he commited suicide by eating a cyanide laced apple. That's a movie.

metrosexual look 101 Posted: 5/20/2006 12:53:27 AM
I don't see anything wrong with a guy trying to look his best. I try to look my best and keep my hair and face looking nice and dress good. I don't see anything gay about it. I think where a guy really starts getting gay looking though is with the hair highlights and eyebrow shaping and etc.. As for clothes shiny shirts, low rise jeans and thong underwear. Now that's getting gay.

why does god not help us when we need help Posted: 5/18/2006 2:49:45 PM
I guess your opinion on this question depends on whether you believe in a personal God or you leave God as a being a complete mystery and something you'll never understand or come face to face with. I really believe in the latter. I don't really see God as being an old wise man in the sky. God to me is more of a mystery I'll never really understand and I'm happy to leave it at that. When something bad happens to me I don't see any meaning to it. I don't read into it a message God hates me. I just say that's life and it really can suck, but it's still an amazing beautiful mystery regardless.

God and Math Posted: 5/18/2006 2:09:45 PM
We like to think of math as being mental constructs; something people just came up with. But most physicists/mathematicians really don't see it that way. They see math as existing apart from minds and it's laws governing the universe. It's really a very deep mystery to phycisists/mathematicians why the human race ever evolved to be able understand it. It's a very metaphysical question. Stephen Hawking wrote a book on this, "God Created The Integars." It's almost as if the universe was conscious. In the end Athesism is really ignorant. To me that's where I find God, but where I differ is when people start to formulate models of God and start worshiping those models. In the end ideas of God are just a big X variable. It's there for practical reasons. It's just there so your mind has something to grasp on to. We need images and ideas to understand, but we shouldn't cling to the death over them.

Barry Bonds and The Babe. A comparison! Posted: 5/18/2006 1:37:01 PM
Babe Ruth was kind of the Michael Jordan of his day. He was the most beloved man in America and increased the popularity of baseball to new heights with his celebrity image. Baseball had a black eye at the time Ruth showed up because of the Black Sox scandal. He showed up and started filling seats and attracting non fans and most important kids to the game. I think that's what really made him great. Baseball could use somebody like that today.

Barry Bonds and The Babe. A comparison! Posted: 5/10/2006 8:31:34 PM
I found this fantastic essay in the L.A. Times today written by Bill Plaschke comparing Barry Bonds with Babe Ruth. I just had to share this. This says it all! Bonds is so aloof, his locker is decorated in security guards. Ruth was so gregarious, next to his locker the Yankees installed a pay phone. Bonds once helped cost the Pittsburgh Pirates a World Series berth because he couldn't throw out Sid Bream from shallow left field. Ruth once pitched 13 scoreless innings in one World Series game. Bonds popularized the lowering of baseball pant cuffs to the ankles, making uniforms pajamas. Ruth's size inspired the Yankees to invent the slimming pinstripe, making uniforms regal. In 2001, when Bonds hit 73 home runs, the runner-up was Sammy Sosa with 64. In 1920, when Ruth hit 54 home runs, the runner-up was St. Louis' George Sisler with 19. Bonds rarely signs autographs for children because he fears they will sell them. Ruth was the first athlete to sign mass autographs for children; the two autographed baseballs he sent to sick little Johnny Sylvester inspired the tall tale of how he hit a World Series homer for him. With his huge head and neck and arms, Bonds looks like Andre the Giant. At 6 feet 1, 250 pounds, Ruth looked like George Costanza. Bonds has had four sacrifice bunts in his 20-year career. Ruth once had 10 sacrifice bunts in one season. Bonds says he views baseball as a business, not a game. Ruth once showed up late and dirty for a Yankee team dinner because he had been playing with kids on a sandlot. Bonds has yet to win a World Series championship. Ruth won seven, including two as a pitcher. Bonds' contribution to the English language consists entirely of the word "juiced." Ruth inspired the word "Ruthian" and the phrase "out in left field," which referred to children too clueless to sit behind him in the right field bleachers. Bonds' shin and elbow pads inspired body armor. Ruth's mammoth blasts inspired Polo Grounds workers to invent the foul poles. Bonds openly despises the media. During the 1934 World Series, Ruth became media, writing for a wire service, breaking every story except the one, written by competitors, that he was retiring. Bonds inspired the chant, "Ster-oids" Ruth inspired a chant from Japanese soldiers hoping to anger Americans in World War II, their troops screaming, "To hell with Babe Ruth" during battle. Bonds calls many people "Bleeps." Ruth called everyone "Kid." Bonds is conspicuous in his lack of affiliation with any major charity. After all-night Yankee parties, Ruth was known to stop by church and drop $50 into the collection plate. Bonds has virtually no national endorsements. Ruth was the first athlete to do such endorsements; when he heard rumors that he wore no underwear, he posed for ads in his underwear. Bonds has been in the limelight since growing up the son of a famous baseball player. Ruth, who grew up in an orphanage with few visitors, once said, "I am too big and ugly for anyone to come see me." * Bonds allegedly responded to the 1998 home run chase by injecting himself with steroids that led to the ruination of an era. Ruth responded to the 1919 Black Sox scandal by saving the game.

Cubs baseball Posted: 5/8/2006 11:37:55 PM
I'm a Dodger fan, but I used to watch Cubs games on the WGN cable channel. I loved Harry Carrey. He would start the game sober, but by the Ninth he was, "ahh..coming to the plate...Mike...Mike Piazzo..ha ha." After he died I tuned out the games it wasn't the same after that.

I liked the movie, but why did they leave out when Johnny Cash went into a cave to die and when he came out his wife and Billy Graham were there waiting for him and that was the end of his drug problem. That's cinematic gold and it really happened! The movie ends instead with him trying to get his tractor out a ditch. What ending would have been more powerful?

Jessica Simpson who's actually pretty religious said she kept her virginity until marriage. If I had a girlfriend as good looking as her and she said no sex until marriage I could probably wait. Sex to me isn't everything in relationship. It's great but if I met somebody great I could live without it for whatever reason.

Michael VS Kobe Posted: 5/6/2006 9:52:12 PM
Kobe is a super talented player, but I 've had my suspicions about him since the first game I seen him play. I remember watching him on TV at 2 in the morning in a exhibiton game broadcast from Hawaii and he was showing off doing spectacular slam dunks like the game meant something other than a good exercise and drill. I still have my suspicions he's a ham. Michael Jordan was the better all around player alot people forget for all his points scored that he's third all time in steals. He was one of the best defensive players ever! It's a no brainer who's better.

I'm not attracted to women my age. Posted: 5/6/2006 8:42:20 PM
I'm 38 and it's hard finding women my age who I find attractive. When I do a search on here most of the women just look overweight or don't seem to have any sense of style. It just seems like when alot of women get to my age they could care less what they come off as. It's not that I have something against women my age because I think Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, Rachel Ray are all really beautiful and they're my age, (give or take a year,) but it's difficult finding someone who has it going when you get to my age. Am I just being too picky or what?

Anybody notice this? I've noticed this at the bus station when I go to work in the morning that men going to their offices don't carry briefcases anymore, it seems to have been replaced by the man bag. 5 years ago a man walking with a man bag would have been considered effeminate it not outright gay, now it's the norm. I guess it just goes to show you!

Shy guy staring...since last summer Posted: 4/17/2006 10:43:08 PM
I think if you want to develop the relationship you have to confront him. Try at least a non verbal head nod hello kind of thing. He probably doesn't talk to you because he's worried about rejection or doesn't know what your about and isn't sure he wants to go there, or he's just psycho. Good luck.

Losing a loved one to death Posted: 4/16/2006 6:20:21 PM
I've never lost anybody close to me, but my Mom last sunday became seriouslly ill and was taken to the ICU where she's currently on life support. It's not certain she's going to survive as it's day by day. She's been the most unconditional loving person I've ever known and can't even imagine life without her and don't even want to. I'm hanging in there, but it makes me break out in a cold sweat physically even thinking about losing her.

Is there Life on other Planets? Posted: 4/16/2006 5:18:49 PM
There's a physics idea called the anthropic principle that says our universe is a very special universe because all the variables came together to support life and that their are millions of other universes where the variables just didn't come together and are too *ucked up to support life. You have to look at our universe like a slot machine that had it's arm pulled and came up 7777- mega million dollar jackpot! Where the odds on it were a 100 millon to 1. I have to believe looking at it scientificaly that although it's probably rare, even if it's one in a million or billion planets or moons that are capable of life. The odds are still very good life exists somehwere given how many planets and moons exist.
