Christians Approve Of Internet Dating

Many Christians believe that it is acceptable to meet and date people online, according to a recent survey.

God can bring people together using internet dating sites was the general consensus from the survey, which was carried out by the popular Christian portal ChristiaNet.com. Of the 314 people surveyed, 157 answered a positive yes to the question of whether Christians should date on the internet. And 98 readers were unsure about meeting someone on the Internet. Bill Cooper, president of ChristiaNet, said: "Christian singles should choose a Christian site for meeting other believers."

An unnamed contributor to the site said that she and her husband met online and have been happily married for seven years. However, another contributor wrote: "No, absolutely not!" "There is no safe way to really know who you are hooking up with on the Internet."

There is still no word on if Buddhists, Muslims, Baptists and Jews can use the Internet. I'll keep ya posted.

Are You F%&#ing Kidding Me?

I'm not much of a tech weeny when it comes to gadgets and electronic toys. I don't own an iPod. I've dropped numerous cell phones off of my boat or in the pool. So many in fact that I now buy used phones for $30 and I'm quit happy with them. I can't text on them, they don't take photos or video—they just make and receive phone calls. Sometimes I wish they didn't even do that.

But when I saw the TV ads for Apple's new iPhone I was impressed. That was until I saw the price $400 to $600 bucks. Are you fucking kidding me? And let's not forget AT&T's share of the pie which is even better. Services starting at $50 to $100 per month. Are you fucking kidding me? Do people have any idea how many minutes they will burn through looking at all those stupid videos on YouTube? A 1000 minutes a month will disappear faster than you know it. But shit I still want one. If for no other reason, than they're really sexy looking.

However I've justified my reason for waiting for another 5 years to two ideas: First the price will go down on both the phone and the service and second some geeks have already figured out how to hack the thing. Not that I'm really concerned too much about hackers. I've never been hacked before (sound of me knocking on wood) and I've never met anyone who has been hacked. But the media tells us to fear hackers and I must admit I do. So for future reference if anyone out there wants to hack my phone make it easy on yourself and just give me a call I'll give you all the info you want , unless of course my phone is at the bottom of the pool.

The Universe

I stumbled upon this image of the Universe. It's a painting by Dinyctis. It's pretty cool. You need to click on the photo for a full screen version.

Photoshop Fun Gone Too Far?

Photoshop Fun Gone Too Far?

I've always been a fan of Superman, and thought that this was a really well done Photoshop illustration of the new character. But it goes to show you that no one is immune from Photoshop fun, not even an American icon like superman.

I also didn't think that it was possible to make his suit look anymore gay than it is, but once again I've been proven wrong.

And this video of a mini gun both helicopter and truck based is proof once again it's not a good idea to be a bad guy.

There was something fishy at the ESPY awards.

I watched the ESPN Espy awards last night and now know why they didn't air live. It's not because of the possibility of someone using foul language or a streaker running across the stage. It's because the audience was bored to death.

Each time an award was given away they would switch to a camera angle showing the back of the presenters, the crowd and the recipients walking to the stage. That in itself is not unusual. What is however, is the fact that the audio you heard sounded like of hundreds of people applauding, the video showed no one in the crowd applauding or cheering, or whistling. They all sat their with their hands in their laps.

This didn't happen just once or twice it happened every time. I'm sure they replay it or you can find some video on YouTube. Check it out for yourself. It took a weeks worth of editing and production to get it ready for airing.

I'll give them credit for Jimmy Kimmel and LeBron James. They were great.

My 30th High School Reunion

Well, my 30th High School reunion has come and gone and I must admit I'm very glad I went. I was a bit nervous at first but as it turns out for no good reason. Meeting with my old friends was truly special. We attended Cardinal Newman High in West Palm Beach and graduated in 1977. After not seeing many of them for 20 to 30 years it was as if we had never been apart. But then I guess that's why they were my friends to begin with.

Above is just one of the photos from the reunion. The photo is of me with my two best friends Henry Riess (center) and Raul Aragon (right). Henry is a pilot with American Airlines and Raul is a Pharmacist and owns his own Pharmacy in Boynton Beach FL.

Would you drive across this bridge ?

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not real fond of heights and the thought of driving over this bridge makes me feel a little woozy.

The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 787 feet high and the overall height will be an impressive 1102 feet, making this the highest bridge in the world. I must say it is a nice view! 787 feet high!

Giant Anaconda Snake

I found this photo while surfing through Reddit. It's a photo of an Anaconda eating a cow. I'm not sure if this is a great Photoshop manipulation or the real thing but I thought I would share it anyway.

Is he faking an injury? I hope so!

Is the rematch between Takeru 'Tsunami' Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut in doubt? Last year at the Nathan's annual 4th of July Hot Eating Contest, Kobayashi narrowly defeated Chestnut to win the Mustard Belt for the sixth year in a row. Defending his title this week may not be possible for Kobayashi. First, his mother passed away in March, causing the Tsunami to take a sabbatical from training.

Now there's a story circulating that he has an arthritic jaw and is only able to stick one finger in his mouth. I'm really looking forward to the showdown between these two. I'm also looking forward to seeing how the underdog "black Widow" will do again this year. And as tradition dictates I'll go buy a package of Nathan's Famous to celebrate with.
