I guess my son will be into dark comedy

I picked up some french fries on the way home today, Ayden did not want them in the car … so for every potato that ‘asked him to be eaten,’ when he said no, the potato jumped off the car seat, thus committing ‘potatocide’.. It made Ayden laugh his head off.
Or is it potatacide?

TIME magazine goes in depth on why Google just paid over $3 billion for Nest Labs

And if you couldn’t guess already, it’s because they want to dominate just about everything that you do in your daily life..

TIME reports,

The vision is to turn homes into something not entirely unlike “The Jetsons.” Ovens, refrigerators, crock-pots, door locks and light switches would all be tied to the Internet. Homeowners would be able to control everything using an app, no matter where they are. Imagine turning on the oven from work so that dinner is waiting when you get home or letting the maid in the front door while on relaxing at the beach. Connected homes are expected to make for a huge market. Sales of the technology are expected to pass $40 billion in the next five to seven years, according a Gene Munster, an analyst for Piper Jaffray.

It always gives me a chuckle to think of my own personal history with Google (we all have one by now, right?) When I first started my quest for information on the superhighway back in the late 20th century, I found this ugly little website named Google. I realized that no matter what I searched for, it turned up the results I needed.. My friends on their Alta vista or their Yahoo! never had as much luck as me.. they scoffed at my Google.. they laughed at it.

That was long before Googling boyfriends or potential employees was in vogue.

Now? you wake up and search Google for weather, sports, news, and traffic. You look up pornography, you search for people.. you try to find obscure facts about trivia to amaze your friends and family.

But yet with all the domination, Google still can’t come up with a user friendly blogging platform—and God forbid you insert links in their iPhone app!

Nonetheless, they are on the verge of controlling all the stuff they don’t yet.

Time for others are running out..

Google is dominating..

Big time.

Movie marketing is becoming more ‘viral’ .. Ever seen the horror flick ad for CARRIE was made in which unsuspecting coffee shop patrons were treated to superhuman abilities, the push is on to push the envelope. The latest is from the film DEVIL’S DUE, which premieres on January 17, 2014. You can enjoy seeing unsuspecting people get he hell scared out of them by a demon baby.

Something about this one seems just cruel, though.. maybe that’s the big-dad-heart I have developed since becoming a father..

The Tall Whites run it all...

You may have heard a huge deal of ‘news’ concerning what Iran has reported about who reportedly runs the United States: The Tall Whites, an alien species long talked about by UFOlogists.

This may take some time, and a suspension of logic. I will attempt an explanation..

Fars News Agency in Iran—the nation the President just made a controversial deal with—apparently reported that released Edward Snowden documents say that the alien species the tall whites have run the United States since 1945..You can read the English translation of the story here.. Apparently the Fars agency took some information from a January 11 2014 posting by the website http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1730.htm .. and after reading Whatdoesitmean.com, I still am not quite sure what it means.

Anyway…

There’s more..

A few days ago—before the Iranians reported the bombshell tidbit—former Canadian defense minister Paul Hellyer went onto Russia Today saying that the tall whites have been behind lots of things, but that 80 alien species (that we know of) exist. You can read more here on that one..

Supposedly these documents also say that Dwight Eisenhower met with aliens in the 1950s … If you’re a fan or former listener of Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM, you may recall John Lear appeared on his show to explain what he claimed he know of this famed alien visit.. Among the interesting things, the claims Lear said were to avoid the ‘light’ when you died, that there is no God, and that Eisenhower so feared the idea that Americans would find out there’s no God, that he mandated ‘In God We Trust’ be put on all coins.. You can hear that interview here if you have ten minutes..

Just last week, Clyde Lewis had a Ground Zero radio show featuring the Tall Whites as a main topic—the idea that this species has been heavily involved with shaping the world’s events…

Today, most sources laughed at the Fars agency report about the tall whites.. FORBES, CNN, all the rest, had a good chuckle about the notion that aliens were even existent..

Here is where things get murky — as if what you already read wasn’t murky enough, right?

I searched some terms from the Whatdoesitmean.com report about the supposed Snowden documents about the purported tall whites (lots of purportions being done here) but I could not find much of any actual source .. For example, I search this term, which appears in the original WHATDOESITMEAN report:

“were actually two governments in the US: the one that was elected, and the other, secret regime, governing in the dark.”

Could not find anything.. Nadda.

So the proof of this report is pretty much zilch.

Unless there’s a useful website out there, somewhere, with a copy of an actual document states something..

I have seen some folks who have stunned me in their height—and whiteness.. but at this point I’m not in the Lear/Hellyer camp.

A good abduction obviously would convince me otherwise.

But good lord if I’m abducted, don’t let it be the grays.

Sepsis can't keep him down: Knapp speaks

About a week ago, I posted a quick update on what I knew of George Knapp, ace reporter and Coast to Coast AM part time host.. Then, I said he had sepsis and it nearly killed him. Last night, Knapp took to Facebook to explain more in-depth his personal life (something out of the ordinary for him, he typically keeps his personal personal) .. Knapp wrote,

I returned to the TV airwaves tonight for the first time in a month. I would not normally talk about private stuff in a public setting like this one, but wanted to say thanks to all of those who sent messages of support over the past weeks.
Back in early December, I came down with something called sepsis, a blood infection, and it damned near did me in. If my wife hadn’t managed to get a doctor to prescribe some meds without actually seeing me, I would not be here to talk about it. Had to cancel several radio shows and newspaper columns, along with assorted I Team stories we were working on but am now back on the job, appreciative of all the kind words sent to me by people who figured out that something was amiss.

Anyone who had sepsis or knows of its effects can testify to what Knapp said: It is so often deadly..

Thank God he’s still here—not just because he reports in a fair and accurate manner and had some amazing Coast to Coast AM shows—but because he seems like a genuine great guy..

Thanks to Mrs. Knapp for doing what she did..

And hopefully we will hear him again soon on a national radio program late in the night..

There was a huge explosion back in May 2013 that blew up a bridge in Harrisburg, PA. ABC27 just got video of the moment it happened

Amazing video.. scary. I couldn’t even imagine being in traffic right then and there when it all happened.

The bridge is still being repaired..

VICE ASKS: Could This Christian Horror Film About a Demon-Possessed Porn Magazine Be 'The Room' of 2014?

In the Christian horror film The Lock In, a high school student brings a pornographic magazine to a church lock-in.

This makes me want to get a group of friends together, close the blinds, and have a movie night.. Back in my teen years it was accompanied by Pepsi and popcorn.. these days it may be beer and wine. But the humor would be abundant all the same.

This was an image taken tonight from a street corner near my home as I walked Mutley the dog.. The night was shrouded in fog.. I was completely unable to see mere feet in front of me..

There has always been something about certain weather elements that frighten me. Fog may top the list.. maybe it’s the movie THE FOG, maybe the abundance of fog in the paranormal.. Maybe it’s all those images drawn of the famed killer Jack the Ripper lurking in fog..

Tonight as I tried to quickly walk Mutley back the the house, there was a strange moon light above, causing the air around me to appear as if it was glowing a yellow orange hue.. It was amazing, but scary all the same. Every noise, every rustle of a leaf, and every tree moving in the distance, all sounded accentuated. It was as though something was creeping behind me for every step..

Safely at home, I now write this..

I am closing my curtains.. just in case I see a strange figure silhouetting under the fog drenched street light a stone’s throw away..

'Koopa just got that in Mario's ass'

My son’s first curse without knowing it’s a bad word, it happened during super Mario Brothers

My son had some weird stomach thing happening over the past 24 hours.. Judging from the floor, I think he is improving quickly..

Is it just me or does the guy Rite Aid is using to advertise the flu shot look creepily like the late Michael Clarke Duncan?

Well this we now know: Jerseyites may be stronger than the storm, but someone has an ego is larger than the storm.

I’m not judging. We all handle grief in a different manner..

Well he was stronger than the storm…. Cnn reports: ‘CNN has learned that federal officials are investigating whether Christie improperly used those relief funds to produce tourism ads that starred him and his family.’
