are you done your xmas shopping yet?
This question was one of the more random ones I have ever received.
The answer: No. I am not.
And on that note, as a matter of fact, if anyone comes across any relatively good seats for nice prices on Pink tickets for her March 2013 Philadelphia concert, let me know.
I read your story about 12/21/12. So do you think the world will end?
You are probably referring to this story posted yesterday: THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
The short answer to your question is: NO. I
But I think it will be mighty strange watching so many think it will end. I just hope, given the fears some people manage to hold in them, we don’t have persons acting out in bizarre ways to injure each other.
Stay safe out there, everyone. We will wake up on December 22 with the same bills and Christmas decorations we went to bed with.
And if I’m wrong?
Well, it won’t matter really will it…
The lyrics were much, but Psy's anger is understandable especially considering at the time--which was a DECADE ago--the Iraq War wasn't very popular nor was any American military occupation in foreign countries. The anger was in reaction to two Korean girls being killed. It was an accident, but the soldiers involved were acquitted and a S.K. missionary was executed in reaction to Korea's support of the US. As an American, I admit that our country isn't all pure and good as we'd like to think.
Thanks for the note. Your point is well taken. What I find amazing about this story though is how, now that PSY has been forced to apologize, some in stardom have to almost shed their true feelings and put on a fake exterior just to keep allowing the money to flow in.
Think of it.. this guy rises from nowhere and becomes a 2012 sensation, to the point of which he is on the AMAs and his dance is being attempted by drunken fools at weddings across our American landscape. And then we come to learn that he was disgusted enough by America prior to this to write a song about it in which he calls for some horrific things to happen to it.
The same America that is furnishing his pockets with cold hard cash.
The fact it’s even occurring is the story to me. The irony of it is what I am interested in.
I could care less if he harbors anti-American sentiment, anti-Russian, or anti-Martian. What it comes down to for me, personally, is that the Gangam style stuff is beyond sophomoric and I am truly confused as the way it excelled to a top spot in music this year. But I am equally confused by Justin’s Beiber’s rise to fame. So there’s two things I cannot grapple with in our current American pop culture.
I recall the Dixie Chicks’ fall from grace because they criticized president Bush during the Iraq war. I found what happened to them to be grossly unfair and diametrically opposed to what America was truly about (you know, free speech, remember that?) So I am not about to say that PSY does not have the right to speak or write whatever in the world he wants to.
But I will simply say that the irony cannot be escaped. The fact this story sees the light of day a week or two before he performs in front of President Obama adds drama to the whole situation.
Hope that explains my point of view a little better.

The future is now: The eyes have it
Texting while driving may take on a whole new danger as the future hits us like a brick wall..
The world is about to get this: Text messages that get delivered directly of your contact lenses..
The UK TELEGRAPH reports:
"This is not science fiction," said Jelle De Smet, the chief researcher on the project, who believes commercial applications for the lenses will be available within five years.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
I feel fine.
It’s funny, I recall years back in me teenage years in high school during the late 20th century.. Bill Clinton was having relations that he denied, the economy was great, and I was putting cheap gas into my first car in order to drive around and waste it. Oh, and I was making tons of jokes that by the time 2012 came, nothing would matter since it was the end of the world. Kids back then didn’t know what I meant. But I always prided myself in knowing the best of the doom and gloom scenarios of the future. (Water wars by 2025 I predict)..
And now here we are! Doomsday 2012! The Mayan calender is set to end this month, or some say. A new period of time begins. Or the end occurs.
So it’s only natural that panic is setting in. While most people partied like it was 1999 when the century turned 21, others though Y2K would shut the world down and bring about the end of our world.. Others committed suicide when a comet flew by earth. We have been here before. Panic and fear.
But this is the big one. This is the mother of all end time scenarios.
Even though Mayans are getting pretty angry that people are misinterpreting their calender, we are still doing it.. People are stockpiling food. A certain bit of the collective consciousness thinks the end is nigh.
Here we go. It’s going to be a wild ride to the end of the Mayan calender.
Did anyone ever wonder why the Mayans just didn’t buy a new calender when their old one ended??? I guess there were few book stores back then, too..
So which of the four horsemen is your favorite? The pale one? And with him comes death.
Kill those f***ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those f***ing Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully
A rap from rapper PSY. Clearly these words are not as common as the dreadfully annoying Gangnam Style.
But he seems to really hate the USA—the same USA that has welcomed him with open arms..
PSY is also slated to perform in front of President Obama at a Christmas special this month.
We will see if that happens..
Some other news of the world..
Anyone else creeped out by this? On December 21, 2012, CERN will begin running a series of collisions which are predicted to break records in voltage also set by the collider. Oh, and December 21 2012 is also that supposed “Mayan” end date..

Condemned obese killer in Ohio is asking for mercy. Death row inmate Ronald Post is fighting his January execution due to fears that it will be difficult to put him to death given his weight.
Most Americans do not have the ablity to get fresh and healthy foods..
*(And they wonder why people are obese??
The cheapest foods are often the worst, and most families are struggling through immensely bad economic times.
Think about it.)*
Giddy up
So where do race horses in Japan retire to? You may be surprised to know: SLAUGHTERHOUSES! That’s right, according to PETA, when race horses cannot perform at their one time great ability, they are sent to become meat..
