Two planking sites just started following me
I hope I live up to their standards.. Perhaps I’ll lay down in a coal mine..

This is planking.. the world’s newest fad. It’s a new decade version of the old 2000s’ laying down game.. This one, though, is killing people..
Famous.. For what?
My local morning hosts on radio were just doing their typical celebrity birthdays when one announced it was Pierce Bronson’s 54th… But the DJ announced: ‘You know him from Mrs Doubtfire’ … Wha? Ever hear of 007! Even Mama Mia?! No.. We’ll know him as the guy who choked on pepper….
The day that blogger.com went down
It doesn’t happen much. But when it does go down, Blogger takes a lot with it.
Update: When Blogger went down, it took 30 hours of posts with it *At least Tumblr doesn’t steal posts..
News of the world of importance and not so much so
Sad times: Junk donations to tornado ravaged South becoming a challenge..
Update: Are cell phones really killing bees?
..maybe not?
It’s allergy season.. and this year it’s hitting people hard..
Panic mode: NBC begins making contingency plans in case of an NFL strike hitting their fall lineup hard.. Get ready for reality TV.. and Donald Trump..
Update: The mummified Playmate found last month in Beverly Hills died of heart failure..
Milking it as much as they can: Miramax and Dimension to produce an AMITYVILLE HORROR sequel..
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY director to take the lead..
Three teens charged in yet another Craigslist killing..
The Church in 1988 with UNDER THE MILKY WAY
I sometimes wonder how history would have been were there have been to Tumblrs, Facebookers, YouTubers and Bloggers..
I think regardless of how it would be, we’d still be under the milky way, and hopefully the Church still would have been singing about it when they did.

The Great Mississippi River is on the rise.. moving throughout Bayou country.. hopes that New Orleans will be spared.. An udpate
Bayou country is heading for rough times.. The gates have been open and the flooding will soon begin.. Engineers have been attempting to stop a disaster in Baton Rouge and New Orleans by flooding farmland and other small towns up river.. thespillways have been opened in order to save New Orleans from catastrophe. While not many are arguing the morals of saving a big city by destroying small ones, it’s occurring now. Today, and this week.. Crest expected in Memphis Monday..
Farmlands to be flooded
Residents warned to leave..
Exacuations mandatory in some places..
Wildlife *some dangerous* to move to higher land..
Cajuns with deep roots … ceding to the floods..
Takeoff? We're waiting..
Will it blast off? ..it’s slated to. Endeavour set *again* for last voyage into space..Congresswoman Giffords lands in Florida to see her husband lift off into space..
Not this time.. doesn't look like the immunity defense will work
IMF chief arrested for sexual assault allegations.. Reports indicate that Dominique Strauss-Kahn was staying at a swanky New York City apartment, when he ran down a hallway nude after a house maid.. and sexually assaulted her. He was taken off a plane in NYC he boarded for Paris just before it took off.. France shocked at the allegations, and experts say an immunity defense would be difficult.. More details..
Kahn was getting ready to run for President of France against Sarkozy..
Good Sunday evening to everyone..
Aw, thanks! :) But tell folks to follow website666.com :)
Careful, the NIA think Ron Paul is qualified to be president. The docu may be good, but personally, any1 who says XYZ is qualified to be president loses my confidence. By today’s standards anyone qualified to be president should not be allowed to run
A good friend of mine (http://life.thepete.com/) with a good point.. Read his site. He and I agree … I’d say 90% of the time.
He was commenting on my recent post on the documentary on colleges and how they fail students..
The docu was … perhaps a little slanted. I agree with the premise (as I look at an envelope on my desk with my latest school loan bill) … I wish a REAL unbiased documentary would be made on the type of topic we all need to be aware of.

I’m wondering.. the weekend question: When did Bill Clinton decide he wants the government to censor the internet..?

Meet the Leader of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, 62, arrested last night after boarding a plane in NYC.. he is being accused of a violent sexual attack on a hotel maid.
Just in time for graduates to start pay bills: The college conspiracy
Ever wonder if high-priced school loans were a waste? Ever want to get involved in a construction trade but were told ‘no’ by someone smarter? Have you ever experienced the lack of knowledge of guidance counselors in school telling you to pursue the wrong thing, and then years later being stuck in the pit of college debt?
Lots of us have..
And as a recent college grad myself and still in the same job I have had all throughout my schooling, I think I’m ready to concede that college is not always the best way to go..
So for those who think that way, too, a new documentary is here to assist you in your knowledge and point of view called the COLLEGE CONSPIRACY..

Pity the once great mall
It’s a tough job these days holding up a mall.
Wayback in time to last century, when main street was killed by the way of shopping, with floors shiny and new and fountains rolling fresh water for background news. Yes, indeed, those were the days. Food courts… stores as far as the eye could see.. Even small kiosks selling things you’ve never buy but sure were happy to laugh at as you walked by..
The great American mall. The shopping experience of your lifetime, whenever you wanted it.
Fast forward to the new age… Walmart has everything you need.. No matter where it was made and how good or bad the quality may be.. And what’s not there can be found online. No need for bookstores when you have Amazon, or even your Kindle. No need for food courts when you have McDonalds and drive throughs..
We seemingly have chosen less quality simply because with it comes convenience.
These days, though, the great American mall is struggling to stick around.. Some think they have overstayed their welcome.. others feel they’ll be missed.
My local mall is no different.. Three stores there have closed within the last month alone. Walking the halls of the immense Schuylkill Mall has turned into a pretty lonely venture.
But it’s not just the abandoned coal mines of Pennsylvania facing the prospect of a future without a central shopping location.. it’s nationwide: A simply Google news search will bring back results from all over the nation of malls and stores closing in rapid style.. Even more: Go for a Google image search of mall closings from all over.
All of that, along with continuing weak numbers in the retail salescategory, is spelling out trouble for the near future. Specifically speaking: Do you know WHY retail sales are up? … and if you look deep into the numbers, PURCHASES ARE DOWN. The disconnection is easy to understand: Inflation has caused a surge in prices. So while there are more dollars coming in there aren’t really more products going out..
The nation’s economy is crumbling.. Infrastructure is at its most horrendous in many areas of the United States.. Inflation is rearing its ugly head. Gas prices are dangerously high. Food prices are extremely dangerous too.. And all the way, people are deciding: No shopping, no books, no jewelry.
Hence the death of the mall.
.I remember a time, early in my life last century, when a family visit to the mall was exciting. I’d be allowed to buy a He-Man action figure.. my sister would shop in those hip stores where most clothing looked like Madonna wore it.. And after all was over, we’d eat at one of the many choices for food.
Now.. the mall is a quick experience. People do go, but only for what they really need. And when they get there, sometimes they are surprised to see the store they were going to closed down with a sign on not to trespass..

The Blogger snobbers don't know what to say
It’s not often the Google blog team has trouble..But for hours so far today they have. Blogs are down, posts are being deleted, and all sites hosted on Blogger.com have been put into ‘read only’ mode.. This as Blogger attempts to upgrade and redo its system *and make it look a bit more like Tumblr in style and approach, as well..
I find it fun, though, that the Blogger snobbers, who have bashed the reliability of Tumblr for some time now, find themselves without a platform of expression.. This as Tumblr tumbles and reblogs itself into the evening hours this Thursday night.
But as someone who has a blog on Tumblr, and one on Blogger, I have come to learn the hard way that a third site I seldom update but still own is the best: It’s pure HTML, uploaded and updated in Notepad. Nothing can go wrong unless I don’t pay a bill…
I guess in the end the net is a fragile place.
I have often wondered what I’d do were I to find my Twitter Tumblr Blogger and others all deleted. I think it would be a FTPing shock, but life would go on. And maybe it would all be better, at that..

I’ve seen enough dead people
You just have to love the New York City subway system
Take a token. Enjoy the ride.
Oh and avoid the crazed naked man scaring everyone on his rampage. Next stop!! Hoboken!
Too much paranoia?
I had a dream last night that iced chemtrails were being sprayed on me .. They were about 5 feet off the ground .. I had a hammer and would chisel them. But even with them visible no one else saw them. Maybe I’m the next Edgar Cayce. Or just getting too little of sleep.
Now you can NEVER escape terrorism
Your phone will alert you of threats, include messages from the President.. And it’s mandatory. Put it on vibrate..

Planes trains and automobiles..
Senator Schumer has called for a “do not ride” list for Amtrak trains, as America’s near-hysterical reaction continues to the sudden killing of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan..
First planes.. now trains. Will a lawmaker soon introduce a do not drive list? It’s only fitting that a list like that would be next..

CNN just sent out a news alert on the Kentucky Derby winner
…to which I had just two thought. First, I wondered if horse racing rose to the prominence of an important breaking news event. And secondly, how many really pissed off people lost a boat load of money this weekend..
The government-selected clips also provide an opportunity for the U.S. to paint bin Laden in an unflattering light to his supporters. They video include outtakes of his propaganda films and, taken together, portray him as someone obsessed with his own image and how he is portrayed to the world.
The videos released had no sound..

So jobs got added in April..
…and. 60,000+ of those jobs came from McDonalds.. But 1million people applied for the 60,000 jobs.. So 6% of so of those desperate to work got jobs somewhere they probably didn’t want to work at.. And that’s not putting down McDonalds workers in the least, do not think I am.. But it is a testimony to the depression-level job crisis this nation is in.. It appears to be deepening. With the real unemployment numbers at 17%+ and the youth unemployment well in the 20 percentile, it appears we are creating a permanent underclass… One without pensions, health care, or jobs paying more than minimum wage.. But we got Osama. And for a few minutes everything seemed alright…..until we all woke up the next day.
Maybe no photo, but there's always this
CNN reporting: 'Al Qaeda released a statement on jihadist forums confirming the death of its leader, Osama bin Laden, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant messages'… No independent determination has yet come that this is true

If my wife and I are as emotional as we are about her FMLA ending and someone new watching during the day (and believe me he’s in good hands) I guess by his school age we’ll just be downright suicidal.. But this isn’t easy. I guess it will get so in time. Then BAM! he’s in college… That’s just how life goes: In the blink of an eye. It’s why during those fleeting moments we try to keep our eyes wide open.
As my wife and I grow further as parents, one thing has surprised us..
The increase of emotions on everything.. Sentimentality.. Joy .. Sadness.. Laugher. Everything is elevated.. It’s amazing how one life changes everything. And if you couldn’t tell by now, yes my wife’s FMLA is over….

I’m such a a proud dad tonight.. my 3-month-old son did something I did when I was a kid.. Watched the horrendously bad movie SUPERFUZZ. I watched it with him.. we shared a moment.
My wife wasn’t impressed.. but I get the sense he will be watching it again.
Like father like son?
My God, if so, God bless him.
