Amazing universe: Solar tornadoes as big as the US eat up the sun’s atmosphere..and not only that, but there may be 11,000 super tornadoes on the sun’s surface!

This is how solar flares can kill: A distant planet had an entire atmosphere blasted away by solar flares 60 light years away fom Earth..

Saturn’s moon Titan may have an ocean beneath its surface!

Exhumed rocks reveal that Mars water ran deep..

The spirit of the Olympics in London!

So what exactly did the Mayor of British town dress as!?

A few other headlines that made me cringe today

Disturbing: Sick drugged up patients asked to pay—at bedside!

The parents aren’t alright either: Father arrested because he left his two year old son in a hot car in Kentucky.. Why? He got ‘distracted’ and forgot to drop him off at day care, leaving him in his parked car outside of his office.. The child was strapped in his car seat while the temperatures climbed above 100 degrees inside the car.. 

How ethical is this!? Does anyone care about ethics anymore..? News now that the first GMO babies have been born, about 30 to be exact: Fifteen of the children were born in the past three years as a result of one experimental programme at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey…

Holy hell. Literally.

I’m inclined to think that MAGIC MIKE will be the number one chick-flick of the weekend. Could be wrong..

The stars of this weekend’s new release MAGIC MIKE say that when they practice-stripped for women, they learned a lot about the gender they never knew..

According to Channing Tatum: Waxing in prep for the film was painful.. 

Reviews for the film are now trickling in..

And ain’t it just sumptin’ .. I bet most of the women you know, or if you’re a women, want to see this film this weekend or at least have made comments when seeing the poster. Perhaps the makers are on to something. Box office glory coming for male strippers? Waxed and ready. Is America?

The great escape!

Actress Katie Holmes has filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, his attorney says

This is an amazing image.. There were some pretty rough storms in Coal Country and other areas throughout the night last night. And today data shows that there were over 40,000 lightning strikes from the storms..

This photo of horrid Colorado fires taken by Helen Richardson of the Denver Post..

The winds and heat have made a troubling situation even worse.. And now it’s life threatening as one person has perished as a result of the series of blazes stalking and killing the land..

Entire neighborhoods have been erased by the fires as these photos illustrate..

A dire situation continues in Colorado as the hills are still alive with fires and fear.

Colorado Springs fire is now ranked as the most destructive for the state on record, there is a war room type effort happening, and now the fires have claimed their first fatality as homes and businesses continue to be evacuated ..

Extreme heat has blanketed the nation for days, today in some parts of the Rockies temprs will rise above 105..

A troubling situation awaits firefighters who battle the flames and the heat of nature..

So this is life without Ann Curry on the TODAY show.. Ann, your better NOT being on the show.

It’s going to be as hot as hell today. It’s the end of June and not even mid summer yet. What awaits this nation? Hopefully not more fires and fear.. but that is exactly what Colorado is facing this morning. One death has also occurred as a result of the fires. More homes are evacuated.. more horror as lives are being shattered by the unpredictable flames.

Fire fighters are facing a troubling situation, as well: Fire and heat. Temperatures will soar above 100.. not easy for those fighting these fires by a stretch of the imagination. And the eyes of a nation are watching.. waiting.. and hoping that somehow the flames die down and fire fighters turn a corner in the battle against nature’s wrath.

Boulder is threatened this morning.
As are lots of other places, too..

Ann Curry bids farewell on the TODAY show.. it's pretty clear that at this point the 4 hour extravaganza of entertainment goo, ooze, and garbage, is clear: No news is good news

Truly.. she is about one of the few people with journalistic integrity that TODAY has.

Really.. if you want news you need to tune in for about the first 14 minutes. Then local weather plops itself on again.. then it’s Justin Beiber live and Katy Perry with clothes.

Now it’s Matt and Al for the duration. Who will replace her?

Kathy Lee?? If she’s sober.

Pretty big Supreme Court decision today

…they decided that big thing about military valor and lying.

Oh yea, and health care stands, Chief Justice Roberts sided with Obamacare.. and the rest is history.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE HEALTH CARE

Twas the night before health care,

and all through the White House,

Not a staffer was stirring,

Not even mouse

Eric Holder was ready to endure his censure,

While visions of electoral votes danced in Obama’s head.

And Carney with talking points and Panetta setting a trap,

Had just settled in for a eerie summer’s nap.

When out in the Rose Garden there rose such a clatter!

Michelle sprang from her cheesesteak to see what was the matter!

Away to the window Barack flew in a flash,

Tore open the shutters and hoped for campaign cash.

The Supreme Court showed up with a decision in hand,

Promising to decide whether a mandate will stand.

Congress was there with a censure in plans,

Holder’s contempt will be the vote of the land.

A busy Thursday is coming for sure,

How much more can a White House endure!?

Now Scalia! now Roberts! now Ginsburg and Thomas,

Breyer and Alito, what can you promise?

Kennedy and Kagan, we may know your choice,

Is Sotomayor too new to voice?

We will see in a flash on Thursday for sure,

Censure and health care,

It will be such a chore.

Lady Gaga's semened-smell summer coming

Those summer nights. 

This year, the summer air and early autumn evenings will have a whole new smell, thanks for Lady Gaga’s FAME, her perfume that is set to hit the market soon.

The internet has been abuzz for a year since she dropped hints on what it may smell like. She said apriocots, saffron, honey drops.. oh yes, and blood and semen too.

The fact Lady Gaga is marketing her own perfume is not news in itself. Almost all stars seem to get their own line of essence at department store prices. But Gaga’s include of her own blood extract and an unknown donor’s semen sample has created more than a typical buzz: Some websites are stating that it proves a demonic and even satanic element to Gaga’s persona.  Natural News writes this:

It could all just be one big demonic publicity stunt to market the ugly black liquid packaged in an alien-like, egg-shaped bottle held by what appear to be slender claws. But several sources confirm that Gaga literally used her own DNA to create the scent, which included offering up a blood sample that was actually added to the fragrance batch. Where the alleged semen came from, though, is still unknown.

Besides semen and blood, another scent that lurks deep in FAME is apparently a plant that is termed “Deadly Nightshade.” Starcasm reports more on the ingredient:

One thing that everyone’s pointing out, but not really explaining is the first ingredient: Tears of Belladonna. It sounds like a Irish folk song or a Greek myth, and that’s really not far off base. Belladonna is a poisonous plant that also goes by the term “Deadly Nightshade.” It has been used throughout history as both an anesthetic (pre-Middle Ages) and a poison. All the parts of the plant can be lethal. It would take just a few of the sweet, innocent-looking berries to kill a child (about 20 to topple an adult,) and it would only take ingesting one leaf to kill an adult.

Perhaps the scent of Illuminati is strong with this one.

Rumors everywhere on FAME. And not a drop to drink. That is if you want to drink blood, semen, and poison extract. Most may just stick with Calvin Klein.

 

Of all the things Asbury Park would have to worry about.. this is not one

A council woman wants to do something that hasn’t been done in 40 years: Enforce a ban on people walking around Asbury Park’s boardwalk wearing a bathing suit—suits that even 40 years ago had more ‘clad’ that the semi-clad nature of skimpy swimwear these days.

Those who have been to Asbury Park may wonder why the ban would be needed. The town was once a bastion of family friendly activity and beauty.. riots, racial tension, fires, and fear led to a darker age for Asbury Park starting in the 1970s and extending even into the 21st Century.

On a trip there in 2005, I personally saw a town striving for a new identity, but sheltered on the perimeter by abandoned buildings, moss-covered relics of the past, and few people on the beach .. I don’t think I recall whether I saw bathing suits or not. However there was something very interesting and historic with the area.. something that drew me in.. Something that made me want to give the city in Monmouth County a chance. I would dare say most people who visit Asbury Park as a tourist get a double-pronged feeling: One partially of fear depending on your surroundings and another of awe as you look at the big picture. A visit to the Stone Pony to see someone who may be the next up and coming Someone helps, too.. The Boss played there, after all. As did lots of others..

Recently, a push has been made by residents of Asbury Park to bring dignity and tourists back to the town that once was. Instead of living in the past, some have abandoned the old days and in tribute to the past tried to soar above and beyond them, leading the city into a better place. And it’s working. There is a rebirth of dining and bars.. more stores and higher end markets. It has not been easy for those trying..


Which is why of all the things to be concerned with in Asbury Park, it’s quite surprising that Louise Murray wants to enforce the 40 year old ban on bathing attire. 

CBS in New York reports on what the ban actually says: 

No person clad in bathing attire shall be on the boardwalk or the public sidewalks adjacent thereto

 Murray is 74. She told WCBS 880 that she recalls rules of the beach: You couldn’t go on the boardwalk unless you covered up and had on shoes.  But the town is coming back.

Perhaps $2,000 fines and 90 days in jail won’t help the town recover from its ills of yesteryear but they are the rules of the game and repercussions of the bikini ban.

The state of New Jersey is cutting services. The city of Asbury Park is, too. Though some old friends of the archaic bathing suit ban say they want a return to the modesty that was the Eisenhower era, few think it will occur. The skimpier the better. Or sometimes worse, depending on who is donning the beach-but-not-boardwalk-friendly attire.

Weather outside not quite frightful--yet

*(Unless you are currently being drenched in Florida by 2 feet of Debby)*

New weather models forecasting extreme heat to blanket the entire East Coast by the weekend. Widespread 90s and 100s expected.. It is currently about 59 degrees outside Coal Speaker home base.. This summer night is more like an early fall evening. But changes are coming. Dog days are on the way.. get the grass mowed early because by high noon some day soon the blistering sun will bake the ground..

More weather models suggest: There is another potential tropical system set to develop some time in early July, potentially around July 8 as a big high develops.

One man serves his genitals, another born with them on her head: No drought in penis stories floating online tonight

Maybe he can blame the radiation?? Japan police are investigating a man who cooked and served his own genitals 

Here’s the nuts and bolts of the story: Mao Sugiyama had his penis and testicles surgically removed in March and kept them frozen for two months before cooking them at a public event in May..

Diners each paid 20,000 yen ($250) for a portion..

And of course there is always a Debbie Downer: The mayor alerted police and now international headlines are being made with news that the event happened. No word on what taste the meal had..

No word on what spices were used.

But the Japan dinner is not the only penis story making headlines on news wires tonight.

Unfortunately something that may give new meaning to the word ‘dickhead’: A baby was born with a penis on her forehead (yes, her).. and yes, her forehead. Of course specialists may address the issue. And hopefully they do.. a dangling penis over someone’s eyes can certainly alter vision for the worse. Prayers with this girl. Not sure if prayers are with the man who served his genitals though.. can’t muster enough energy to grasp that one..

Those wildfires getting even more wild

The situation in Colorado becoming increasingly dire as the wildfire that is advancing advances even more, forcing thousands to leave their homes. .. Among the fallout expected: Tourism will take a hit.. There are thousands of people displaced near Colorado Springs . . Something not helping firefighters continues to be record heat.. Here is a map of where the fire is worst..

If you're awake tonight around 1am

Turn off all the lights in the house, brew some tea, and listen to George Knapp interview David Paulides about strange disappearances on Coast to Coast AM..

He was on in March for the same topic and the show was excellent. No doubt tonight will be as creepy.

So vicious in how hurtful they are to a fellow human, one who is crying as they taunt her about her weight?

Midnight in the desert

The former king of the night, Art Bell, chose to give up broadcasting Coast to Coast AM on a full time basis years ago.  Unbeknownst to many, In October 2010 he did his final show when he did Ghost to Ghost AM from the Philippines .. Since then he has not appeared on the program, even though host George Noory signs off nightly using Art Bell’s name. Also on Saturday nights across radio stations and the internet, older broadcasts of Art Bell are replayed called “Somewhere in Time.” 

For now..

Tonight on his Facebook page, Art Bell announced,

"I have made a request that Premiere Radio cease Broadcasting the Saturday "Somewhere in Time" shows."

Art Bell moved back to the United States some time in 2011.. around the same time, he began posting brief messages on Facebook.. His messages have been from posts about boxing matches to some commentary on how he is not involved with Coast to Coast AM. 

A few months ago, he responded to a question about whether he would appear on the radio program again: He said no.. In the meantime, various large affiliates around the nation have stopped broadcasting Coast to Coast AM in some major markets.. 

George Noory’s direction has taken the show from unpredictable and paranormal to political and conspiratorial.. 

Now the new posting on Facebook has already created a huge online buzz.. 

Comments to Bell’s post range from confusion to sadness, and others are thanking him for trying to completely disassociate himself with the radio program.. 

Rumors persist that he will be back on the air full time..

Bell turned 67 this past Sunday. Perhaps a birthday gift to all will be his coming from the shadows of the desert to explain exactly what occurred that led him to begin a complete dissolution with Noory et al..

Thick haze blanketing Wuhan..

THICK HAZE DESCENDS OVER CHINESE CITY
Industrial accident? Chemical plant explosion? Naaahhh.. China says simply ‘straw burning’ is the culprit for a thick and mysterious haze that has descended over Wuhan city.. 
The haze is yellow-grey-green in color .. government tells young and old alike to stay indoors..


The haze started to make headlines around June 11.. Around that time, China detained 2 people for “pollution rumor” .. No word on whether those detained are still …around, so to speak..
One theory was that high school students were burning books after graduation.. Much more serious notions of why the thick fog showed up exist.

When I was a kid I purchased gifts for my dad (as I did this year) for Father’s Day. Of course having your own child and getting your own Father’s Day gift makes it special.

When I was younger and dumber I had this notion that I understood everything in the world.. I believed I could answer everything with sarcasm or irony. I could not, of course. As time went on I came to fully understand that..

But having a child makes you realize it even more. 

Mother’s Day. Father’s Day. Days to honor those most important. Yes, indeed, those days matter.

There is a place for mom and dad in the world.. and regardless of television programs and commercials making fathers look absolutely naive and stupid,  there is a place for me in the act of raising my son. As I age and become more of a father I see that. I see the importance of my actions… inactions.. and reactions. Life is short and sweet.. 

Fatherhood seems to make it even sweeter but yet shorter all at the same time.

I have been hearing some audible complaints recently that “we haven’t even had summer weather yet.” 

Well… get ready. Ye ask, ye receive. Get your sweat buckets out, ice up the water, put the beer in the fridge.. and get ready to ring our your perspiration filled T shirts by noon: This week is going to see the first heat wave of summer 2012. From the looks of weather models and forecast maps, it will be intense.

Temperatures in D.C. will feel as hot as 105 or more. Places in Virginia could feel like 110.

The leader of Greece’s center-right, pro-bailout New Democracy party claimed “a victory for all Europe” after a first-place showing in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, promising that unpopular austerity measures “will bring the country back to prosperity.”

Yes because austerity is working so welll already.

Jar Jar Binks was not available for comment.

You see headlines like this everyday: Man tasered. What you don't see everyday: Man tasered and asks to be tasered again

You see headlines like this everyday: Man tasered. What you don't see everyday: Man tasered and asks to be tasered again

A big fat Greek election.

But this one has some very big implications for not only Greece but the world too.

The Greeks, sick of austerity, layoffs, and children being abandoned in the streets by increasingly poverty-stricken parents, may dump the Euro. Critics say if they do that, it could spark a world crisis on the economic front.

Get ready for a news blitz as events get crazy in Euroland.

Mitt Romney came to my home state of Pennsylvania this weekend.. He told people who were listening that he was going to win the state this November against Obama. Also while he was here, he was quite fascinated with Wawa, a chain of stores in the Southeastern part of the state. And he stepped into the debate in the state that divides it literally in half: Sheetz vs Wawa.

The Ticket writes it this way:

What inspired him: A computer at Wawa that allows customers to type in what they want on a sandwich, as opposed to ordering it through a human cashier. It was a technology, he said, that had been fostered by competition—competition he said the federal government lacks in delivering its services to Americans. He said the government’s lack of competition and bureaucracy was hurting the United States in keeping jobs that are moving to other countries.

But more than anything, Romney seemed blown away by the Wawa computers, which he raved about.

"You press a little touchtone key pad… You touch this, touch this, touch this, go pay the cashier, and there’s your sandwich," Romney said. "It’s amazing!"

I suspect Romney hasn’t had to be at a convenient store in a long time. This may be his moment of disassociation with reality. Remember in 1992 when George Bush senior was amazed with cash registers and the price of bread? … yes.. This candidate sometimes just can’t get ahead.

The irony of course is that people in Sheetz terriroty of PA, simply by default of the location, would have been more apt to have voted for him instead of the Wawa real estate portion. Maybe he also botched up some chances by siding with the Wawa market.

Father's Day Sunday Morning Sidewalk news

Despite how great of a day it is for me and other dads out there, the news goes on. Here’s a collection of what I read this morning .. I think I’ll stop for a while—it’s all too much—and drink some french vanilla coffee out of my new BATMAN mug…

Here’s the news. Read it and weep. Or just weep before you read.

Greek wildfire rages near Athens.. 

Wildfire in Colorado rages, destroying homes..

Welcome to another jobless cruel summer.. 

30,000 drones may be flying over the United States in the next ten years.. Civil libertarians cry foul while frankly no one hears their valid concerns.

Secret X-37B lands.. 

Radiohead stage collapses before show.. 1 dead..

New revelations released.. A sordid Secret Service history was hidden from public.. Drunken escapades, assault.. 

The final battle of Pope Benedict.. Struggle behind the scenes, along with backbiting and scandal.. 

And for all the dads out there who like solar flares (me included) this one is for you

Geomagnetic storms are circling Earth’s poles in the wake of a double CME impact on June 16th.. Earth’s magnetic field has strongly compressed after the flares and impact.. After nightfall Saturday Northern Lights were visible even in the Northern United States such as North Dakota and Wisconsin..

There aren’t too many times I’d say I would like to live in North Dakota, but I saw some pictures on SpaceWeather and Facebook of the Northern Lights over North Dakota and it looked like absolute majesty in the sky. 

There is beauty to solar flares.. until that day when a series of X flares knocks out power and modern life. But at least Northern Lights will be looking pretty amid the lack of technology.

A big happy father's day to all the dads out there

It’s my second now (yea can’t believe that). Feel like a veteran. My gift was a beautiful framed photo of me holding my son minutes he was born.. and my other gift is a BATMAN mug for my coffee.  Pretty cool.

I thought things online would be there 'forever'

I had a website YEARS ago hosted on Angelfire. I also had a Guestbook that, only this week, I found out was gone forever. Seriously.. they deleted it on me. You know, I guess… things change. So this guestbook existed since the year 1998. There were tons of memories in there. I signed up with an email address that is now non existent. So if I had an email that was existent as the main contact, I would have known since April it was going away. Alas! I didn’t.

So there goes that guestbook.. filled with as many memories as a photo album. Friends…long nights of messaging back and forth when the internet was in its infancy.. drunken stupors in text. All that in this guestbook. The world was able to read it.

And now it’s gone.

I know people say if you type something online “it will last forever.”

Tell that to people who had websites on Geocities. Or those who had Tripod guestbooks. Or slambooks (remember those!?) Or ICQ. 

I hopefully think that somewhere, in the vast universe, the keys we stroked and letters we typed still exist. But with all these companies folding their ventures and replacing them with nothing, I dare to think that there are some things online that will never exist again. And that’s sad.

What will exist is Facebook. .Maybe Myspace? That’s up to Murdoch. Maybe Tumblr, that’s up to Karp if he makes money.. and Google blogger, which is probably up to the CIA more than anyone else.

Yes.. what you type may not exist tomorrow.

Kind of sad, in a way. Years of Guestbook entries back when the net was young have just been deleted from countless sites…  

They better not get rid of Angelfire. Or else if they do, my entire 18 years old to 21 years old period of my life is gone. Forever.

The latest Lilo: Paramedics rushed to her due to exhaustion in her LA hotel.. but she wasn't taken to the hospital

THE MONEY QUOTE

Celebrity news website TMZ meanwhile reported that the 25-year-old had been working for two days almost non-stop, including shooting parts of the movie near the hotel.

Her spokesman Steve Honig told E! News: “Last night she worked from 7:00 pm to 8:00 am. She was exhausted and went back to her room to sleep.

"Producers were apparently concerned and called the fire department and paramedics found her sleeping but determined that she was fine, just extremely exhausted and slightly dehydrated.

I was a young subscriber to TIME magazine, and I remember getting this issue in 1993. I now look back … I was 13 then and I am 31 now. I am a father. Wow.. I am what I’d never thought I’d be when I was 13. But now I am completely fine with that… It just fascinates me how life changes. By the way, I am posting this while my son, Ayden, is messily trying to eat his chicken noodle soup. He got mad at first that there were no crackers in his soup… I am at his command. 

Yes, indeed, how life changes.

I wonder what will be on TIME magazine when he is 13. I wonder if there will be a TIME when he is 13……….

(By the time I was done writing this post, at 7:13 pm EDT this Friday night, Ayden dumped the entire bowl of chicken soup on the floor. Guess he’s not hungry)

Too bad SNL is on summer recess. Fox and Friends had an issue this morning, as Gretchen Carlson walked off the set of the show after male hosts made comments on how ‘women are everywhere,’ such as the Navy, golf, and tennis. 

Go Gretchen. Low cut blouse-high-skirt-Roger-Ailes-Girl power to ya!

For those following, you know this: When there is dramatic testimony in the Jerry Sandusky trial that really means the news headlines should be rated X. Seriously, horrible stuff is coming to light. Today’s headline is that Sandusky referred to himself as the tickle monster. Even more, one witness said while a molestation occurred, he screamed in Sandusky’s basement while no one came to help..

All this in front a jury.. I can only imagine what is going through their minds this weekend.

"What was I going to do? Look at him, he’s a big guy, bigger than me. Way bigger than me."

That is what Victim Number 9 testified to today. This is why he said he took part in oral sex and all the like in Sandusky’s basement….

Happy valley indeed.

I am frankly at the point where I cannot even watch the news accounts of the trial or read dispatches anymore.. there’s no way I could have been on this jury. No way at all.

So you’re up next, Karl Rominger. And what say you defense team? 

This one just fascinates me.. Hand prints in a cave so ancient, so old, so long ago, that they are not that of modern man. So modern folks weren’t the only artists .. Art began long ago in Spain.

The AP story on the Spanish cave paintings says this:

Testing the coating of paintings in 11 Spanish caves, researchers found that one is at least 40,800 years old, which is at least 15,000 years older than previously thought. That makes them older than the more famous French cave paintings by thousands of years.

Scientists dated the Spanish cave paintings by measuring the decay of uranium atoms, instead of traditional carbon-dating, according to a report released Thursday by the journal Science. The paintings were first discovered in the 1870s.

Did you read this? 40,000 years old

And here is more:

The oldest of the paintings is a red sphere from a cave called El Castillo. About 25 outlined handprints in another cave are at least 37,300 years old. Slightly younger paintings include horses.

So all those bad stories, bad press, and bad rumors about Neanderthals may have been false. Among them may have been a da Vinci, Picasso, or maybe even a Beethoven. 

An amazing story…..don’t you think?

It's not done yet

Even more news that will intrigue and … make sick.. and convince you that the end is near. Even though it isn’t. Maybe we all just hope it is…

The summer of insanity: Corpses, cannibal attacks, collapsing currency.. and the summer Olympics

News today on the zombie attack: Newly released photos of the ‘zombie victim’ that the Miami Muncher attacked over Memorial Day weekend are circulating the web. Ronald Poppo is the victim. If you so choose you can Google the images yourself, I don’t think it’s appropriate to post them on here. The hospital released two very graphic images of his facial wounds—with his permission.

You may not need further proof after looking at the photos of just how insane the world is. It’s the summer of insanity. Bath salt mania. Frantic crime waves. Tide is being stolen from store shelves and being sold on the black market—a black market shiny clean with Tide, perhaps.

More oddity, again from Florida: A naked corpse washes up on Flagler Beach. There just must be something up with peninsulas this year as well.

It’s only June, folks. How much stranger and creepier could our daily headlines get? I suspect….just as the heat intensifies so will the strange factor. Zombies and rage… are vampires next?

A new study says that the heads of Americans are getting bigger—there’s actually a tennis ball size worth of new brain room since 1825 Does that translate into more brain power? Reviewing daily news headlines would argue no. Instead dumb people with even larger craniums continue to do dumb things.

Truly cannot believe how fast time is going.

I am an Art Bell fan. There are nights I can’t stand current Noory Coast to Coast AM. Maybe he means well but the night lacks the magic it once did. Being the Bell fan I am, I listen often to U7 radio and FineArtStream.com radio… often they play blasts from the pasts of aliens in the freezer and Area 51 conspiracy… from those old days of 1999. 2000. 2001. 2002. All time gone by..

Today in particular I listened to a show during my morning commute from 1999 about reincarnation. It was typical Art Bell. But 1999!? March of 1999 to be exact. I was 18 and not even done high school yet, that would come in June of that year. So I wondered what exactly I was doing that night.. where I was… how I felt. How the years have gone by.. how remarkable they have been, but how incredibly fast they are, as well.

On the same front, my niece turned 21 this past weekend… Wow. That is big. Considering that I remember, not vaguely but fondly, playing with her when she was born. I was just a kid, full of energy, crawling around. Now with my own son there are some nights my legs cramp up and my back kills me. I am only 31 but often wonder … if this is how 31 feels I dread 40. And 50.

And before I know it I will be 40, 50, and 60. Maybe by then FineGeorgeStream.com will exist..? Maybe by then we will all be programmed robots. Nanotechnology will take over and eliminate human emotion from life. Leaving just a stagnant and lifeless corpse, filled with blood and a brain that remembers nothing? There will be drones littering the sky.. there will be flying cars (maybe not).. However maybe we can all agree: Pay phones will be gone.

Yes, indeed. How fast time flies truly freaks me out. I often wonder where it goes? Stephen King may have an idea. Maybe the Langoliers actually do eat the time that is gone.. Old time a flyin? The same flower … tomorrow.. dyin’…..

Yes, indeed. 

Since old time is still a flyin’ perhaps it’s best to resist the dyin’ that eventually will occur. Unless we do reincarnate like the person who was a guest on Art Bell in 1998 believed. Reincarnation over and over again. Living through old time over and over again. Time that flies by regardless of what life we live…

So it's official.. A dingo did eat the baby..

So it's official.. A dingo did eat the baby..

Lots of folks apparently are in to old women showing off some saggy nipples. Really. I had a jump in hits today on CoalSpeaker.com because yesterday I put some news on here about Sagonna and her flashing areola. 

So why not post a photo of her bare nipple?

There are two reasons, besides me not wanting to.

1. You can find it yourself. Google it, and turn off moderate safe search. You’ll see it. All red and puffy.


2. I really could care less.

Sure, I am posting another story about it on here, along with posting a photo of post-nip-slip Madonna on stage. Coyly looking at her audience.. “What did I do? I am just the material girl.” Material Momma Madonna can shock a crowd. But as I pointed out yesterday Lady Gaga suffered a concussion and still performed JUDAS. Though there just seems to be some veiled religious message about being whacked in the head during a song about the man accused of turning in the Christ.. right?

Nonetheless, Madonna slipped her nipple. But the world still rotates. All is right with the world—as right as it could be. Ford is in his flivver. Really, is it that big of a deal?

British media often labels America as prudish. I think maybe they are right. A nipple in itself isn’t overly fascinating once you truly study it. The FCC may fine people for flashing it, ala Janet Jackson, but really what is the big deal about one? Most of us have two. Some even have three. Those with three aren’t sexy. Those with two, as long as they are women, are heralded when they show one. Men who should wear bras that have nipples are lampooned. 

So for the medical record. This is a nipple:
 

And THIS is a nipple on a foot:
 

Any questions?

Bet you won’t search for Madonna’s nipple now! 

All the news unfit to print.. And then some

It’s been a trying day for earth, don’t you think? But what day isn’t really. Here is a collection of events, random, sporadic.. scary.. Entertainment. But it’s reality. So don’t get too happy.

Sandusky trial begins.. hears victim tesitfy about abuse..  That’s right. Grin and bear it, it’s going to be a long trial. But the defense will hammer on this: Gap between abuse and charges could be an issue.. And already today Sandusky was labeled a predator..

Fire and water.. : Colorado and New Mexico wildfire expands.. Evacuations currently taking place.. 
Fire’s reach quickly exploding..
But……

While in Japan: Violent fluctuations of hydrogen concentration in reactor 1..

If you didn’t have enough nonstop nuclear insanity yet, try this one:

John B. Wells hosted a special on Fukushimi on Coast to Coast AM and it’s worth listening to should you have a spare four hours.. He interviewed Arnie Gunderson, David Blume, John Aplsey, and Theresa Dale.. all four hours and all hour guests were important and the story itself is one of the utmost importance for this current generation and the future of this world..

The old days are gone.. a stroll down amnesia lane: The internet that once was

Had a family discussion tonight about the amazing web history… My sister reminded me of the mid 90s when I slept her over house and my brother-in-law connected us to the net, via the dial up phone line, for the first time. It was like stepping into uncharted territory.. dialing up to watch a website load, it taking three minutes.. and you being a part of the information superhighway.

Those glorious days of ugly GIFs and badly designed websites.. those days of 60+ search engines instead of Google dominating.. those days of “Chat lines” that adults said to stay away from (Chat1.com was my favorite).. Yes, indeed, the wild west of the web was at your fingertips, you just had to stick around for a while to let the web load.

Things then weren’t really “live.” But if you searched enough you were able to find some cutting edge sites. Artbell.com, drudgereport.com, and some others were on the fringe. They charted territory for the future. And Geocities and Angelfire in reality could be considered the first blogs. People on them told a personal story.. the 20th century unplugged was on free sites with really long web links. Now it’s blogger and Tumblr and… well, you know the rest.

And why do I bring this up? Well, because first off I can and secondly because it shows how far we have come. From the days when you can be anonymous online to the current world where everyone knows your name, along with A/S/L and what you are currently eating, or drinking, or thinking.

The mid 90s in my opinion was the greatest time for the web. It was exciting and fresh.. it was amazing and new. And now it’s stale and everyone, governments and corporations combined, just want to control it.

Remember when it was fun to dial up and be connected? And wen you met someone in a chat room you did not trust, you just quick reached around and unplugged the phone line from the wall. Those were the days. Safety first, submission of personal data second. How things have changed..

I remember a computer was my Christmas gift in the later 90s.. I remember I had no clue what I was doing. I just hooked up and, well, suddenly the world was at my fingertips. I even remember when I figured out how to design a website (And if you know anything about me you know that HorroReport.com is my other site and it has maintained the same design since 2001, for better or worse.)

And now here we are.. the net is everywhere, you are connected no matter where you go. I think I liked the dial up disconnect. The ability to stop the net for a while and just hang up on the worldwide web of superinformation on a superhighway.

Those days are gone. Here are the days of Facebook.. constantly being connected.. and in a way constantly being disconnected. People went from visiting online to living online. Tumbling through things to Tumblering through things. From posting photos occasionally to lifestreaming, livevideo, and live everything.

The wild days of the net are gone. The predictable days of the net are here.

Bring back the 90s, when everything was fresh and new.

But it can’t be that way.

No matter how many moving GIFs you put on your site..

As a continuation of my last post, here is an interesting thing to look at: It is the first website ever created from 1991

Tonight in the world of music: Concussions and nipples

Lady Gaga suffers concussion during JUDAS in New Zealand.. Dancer hit her in the head with a pole .. And even more news from the strange world of female artists: Lady Gaga may have been hit during a concert but Madonna hit her audience with a shocking little red blotch: She flashed her nipple in Istanbul.. So Lady Gaga hit in New Zealand.. Madonna’s bare breast in Istanbul. More proof that nothing exciting in the world of music happens in the United States anymore..
