Sorry about the lack of updates, life has once again gotten in the way of my internet time. I still need to put the links back on the blogroll and maybe get a more simple but nice looking theme. Iono, depends.
This is really interesting and scary too, apparently there was a plot that was foiled before the fatal shot in dallas that killed JFK. I would also like to say Happy late Thanksgiving. Sorry for the lack of updates people's!
According to former Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden, President Kennedy was due to arrive in Chicago on November 2, 1963 to attend an Army-Air Force football game at Soldier Field and to ride in a parade, but Secret Service agents in Chicago recommended that the White House cancel the trip after two alleged threats against the president.
According to news reports at the time, Kennedy didn't come to Chicago that day because he was ill or because of a diplomatic crisis, WLS-TV reports.
Bolden tells WLS-TV that when the Warren Commission began investigating JFK's assassination, he attempted to inform members about the Chicago plots and alleged misconduct by his fellow agents, but was arrested and prosecuted for soliciting a bribe from a counterfeiter and served a six-year sentence.
Bolden claims it was a set-up to silence him. The main witness has recanted his accusations, and Bolden hopes now to clear his name, the station reports.
So if you watch the news constantly like me and other lifeless leeches I know here on the good ole' internet you know Obama didn't wear his american flag pin on his lapel, becuase of the way the war is going. Apparently however it's gotten to the point where not wearing one is unpatriotic. Look I don't agree with what this man says but if you don't want to wear your american flag pin, big deal. I'm sure he still celebrates this great country in other ways, just that way was taken off due to his feelings for the war.
--
In any case the war isn't America, so thats where the "you should still be patriotic no matter what direction America is going" attitude. Look all I know is I fly 2 american flags in my backyard, wear american flag pins on my suits and have an coffee mug with reagan and kennedy's heads on them behind an american flag. If I'm not pro american I don't know what I am.

I'm not a fat southerner so don't accuse me of that, not that theres anything wrong with southern people, I love them. Not fat people though, hehe.

Anyways see you guys tommorrow or maybe sooner.
Sim City Societies VS Cities Unlimited
We all know this new game Sim City Societies looks pretty darn good, but we have to understand that this game once it comes out this holiday season, will be a far cry from another new city building game that will be released sometime next year, called Cities Unlimited from Monte Cristo, maker of City Life.
Now I know what your thinking "Oh, but city life was abysmal at best" and it wasn't that impressive, but it layed out the foundation for a much better, new game, which the developer, unlike Tilted Mill, listened to it's users and the people and found out exactly what we wanted in a city building game, realism not just in terrain, but management, and the ability to sculpt the city of your dreams, and actually like it, something I cannot say for Societies unfortunately.
Ultimately, a large majority of people, including those on Simtropolis wanted realism, and the abilities that made Sim City 4 and still does make it one of the best games in that genre of all time. Cities Unlimited will be out most likely next year, maybe during the holiday season or sooner, as some sources leaked.
Regardless, if I haven't caught your attention yet, check out these screenshot comparisons, that perhaps are so dramatically different, they show who actually cares enough to make a worthy city building game like Sim City 4 and it's predecessors.

You be the judge.
Sorry about the deadness feeling of this blog.. I've allowed a month to pass without an update so here's one for September, I found 20 dollars under my bed and I'm going to use it to buy a cheap lava lamp I saw down at Target for $19.99.. no I'm not a hippy, I'm a hippet, YO YO YO! Ok that was uber lame. Anyways.. I'm gonna do a picture update on Thailand next week and one on a special city here in the states which I'm not going to disclose yet, you'll just have to wait. lol. Anyways have a wonderful weekend!
SIM CITY 2000 REVIEW
Let's face it, Sim City is one of the greatest games in the world, and from the first one to the 4th and soon to be 5th, as well as the portable versions, there's no denying sim city is a great and versitile game, that's fun for generations and generations to come. And now, let's review the 2nd in the franchise, which many consider the best one in the entire series besides the first one.

What you can do in this game is the premis of all sim city games, design build and create the city of your dreams. You guys know most of this so I'm going to let you enjoy it for yourself, here's the download link, enjoy...
http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/download.php?id=77
This is a limited demo I believe, but the full version is still on some of the torrenting sites if you don't feel like finding it to buy on ebay or something.
It seems like it to me. I mean alot of people on there seem to hate religion, specifically christianity, and further more republican ideals. I just think as an Independant that it needs to be leveled out. Neither side has it right in my opinion, but of course this is going to be bashed I know. Anyways whats your opinion? I'm open to hearing it guys.
HURRICANE DEAN NEARING CATEGORY 5
MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (CNN) -- Hurricane Dean battered the southern coast of Jamaica with heavy rains and surf as its eye passed offshore late Sunday, apparently sparing the Caribbean island the worst of its 145 mph winds.
David Shields, the deputy director of the island's tourism board, described conditions in the capital, Kingston, as "absolutely scary."
Ronald Jackson, Jamaica's disaster preparedness director, said at least one house had collapsed, but there were no known serious injuries.
"We'll be sending assessment teams out as soon as we can," Jackson said. 
See Dean's projected path »
At 11 p.m. ET, Dean's eye was located 135 miles (215 km) west-southwest of Kingston, the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, reported. Its top winds of 145 mph (232 km/h) made it a strong Category 4 storm, with hurricane-force winds extending 60 miles from its center.
Sustained winds of 80 mph buffeted Kingston, and amateur radio operators reported streets were flooding, the hurricane center said.
An unofficial observation from Lionel Town, about 30 miles east of the capital, put top winds at 100 mph. And an aviation weather station at Kingston International Airport clocked winds even higher, at 114 mph.
Tropical storm-force winds could be felt as far out as 205 miles from the storm, forecasters reported.
Dean was moving westward at nearly 20 mph as it skirted the island, forecasters said. As it moves into the western Caribbean Sea, the storm retains the potential to become a Category 5 hurricane -- the top of the scale, with winds in excess of 155 mph.
Jamaica Public Service Company -- the sole distributor of electricity in Jamaica -- announced it was turning off the island's electricity to preserve the integrity of the system. In addition, the National Water Commission said it had turned off some pumps, especially in places prone to flooding.
Forecasters predicted Dean would dump anywhere from 5 to 20 inches of rain on the island, with a storm surge of 7 to 9 feet (2 to 3 meters) expected to batter coastal areas.
The storm already has been blamed for at least seven deaths across the Caribbean islands, including two killed as the storm stalked Haiti.
The storm is headed for the Yucatan Peninsula and could regain it's Category 5 strength by then and possibly hitting the Texas and Mexican border head on as a Category 3 or higher which has prompted several evacuations and an early state of emergency for Texas by President Bush to further evacuation efforts in the region.

HURRICANE SEASON HEATING UP
The tropics are heating up as the August heat wave continues across much of the eastern U.S. The AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center is closely monitoring a newly-formed tropical depression and two tropical waves in the Atlantic Basin, while Hurricane Flossie is headed toward the Hawaiian Islands. The Hurricane Center reports a tropical wave that last Friday moved off the coast of Africa has been upgraded to Tropical Depression 4.
The Hurricane Center meteorologists feel TD-4 has the potential to develop into the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2007 season. At 11 a.m. EDT, Tropical Depression 4 was located approximately 520 miles west-southwest of Cape Verde Island, moving west at near 21 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 35 mph; however, the depression is expected to continue strengthening.

Well if hurricane season is kicking up again, looks like we gotta batten down the hacthes and pretend we are not going to get hit like the good ole' floridian's. (Kidding, Florida residents, kidding.) Anyways lets hope this isn't a destructive year. God Bless.
I've always been curious, I do it to make friends and express myself, I'm curious why you guys do it, to express yourself, talk about your life or just to hang out and have fun and make friends.
^O^ Night!
UTAH MINE COLLAPSE TRAPS 6 MINERS
Well this month hasn't shaped up very well, with the bridge collapse, and now these poor trapped miners and their families. They apparently tried to stick a microphone down into where they believe these miners are, but haven't had an audio responses. Oddly enough the air is said to be very healthy down there do to the low co2 ammount and the fact that there is alot of it, oxygen that is. Now assuming they hit the wrong area, or the miners are hurt and simply not speaking maybe becuase they are asleep or passed out, or can't speak due to the injuries if they have any.
Ok I recently found this widget and it's so fun! You remember Pacman from the 80's? Well the widget guys decided to compact it into a blog sized game! :D (I swear I'm not being lazy and stalling for the next update.) Anyways, have fun? CULTURE SHOCK COMMENCING... 5...4...3...2...1...
Quick post, yes, and I apologize for not updating in a day or two but this is great. Opera makes everything look all shinney. And as we all know, Shiny = Win.

:: SIM CITY DS :: REVIEW ::
You know it's gotten bad when your once listed blog on Google now shows results to a stupid article on Craig's List. My question is, what are the best ways to promote a blog, other than constantly post random crap, and throw it at a couple of other people to look at? :P
I heard on the television that some of these so called "pure, clear and tasty" waters were actually just purified tap water. What do you think?
I like the idea but I wish it was smaller so it could "fit" on more compact blogs. What do you think?
So at first I thought it was a joke, and probably, it is, but it's still fun in my opinion. If it actually is being transmitted into space, that being my blog entries and stuff, then I hope all aliens receiving this enjoy it as much as I do making it. Anyways it's not just me that can do this, many people are doing it over at PayPerPost's program, which I believe that button I have links to it, so in any case, go check it out!

No interstellar war please! Hehe.
I was recently listening to the Celtic version of Led Zeppelin's hit "Stairway to Heaven". I gotta say it was great sounding. The smooth sounds were just amazing. I love how they do that in Celtic music. Anyways I'm off to search for more, I might post some of the music if I find it, so you can enjoy it too.
--
Also, the new banner will be up by tomorrow. Sorry for the tacky look, but my Photoshop is being a complete jerkoff right now. (sorry for the language)
I removed all that link crap that was cluttering up the top part, which linked to whoever made this layout. No, it wasn't me, and I'm not trying to hide that or anything, it just looked tacky. GeckoandSky made it and it is nice looking, at least to me, I'll let you guys be the judges on this one. And I have to make a new banner too becuase I realized how noobish the one I had looked.
Until next time, Audios.
Hey guys. So let's cut to the chase, do you think I should change my layout?
--
And as always, a picture of an eyeball that looks really cool to fit in with this layout design changing thing..
Hezbollah Verbally Threatens Israel
Leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah says his group has an arsenal of rockets that can reach all of the country.
--
Yet another threat from a man in a diaper. I really, really wonder sometimes if any of these threats are credable or just plots to scare people into submission, which obviously isn't happening. (Except Europeons, who are overrun with terrorists pretty much).
--
It does make you wonder though. Someday if we reach a point where they can attack places like Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, or Bethlahem, what will WE* do to stop it? A new world war? A simple counter strike to put them in their place? Well time will tell, whether these threats are real, or if they are just used to scare people into submission as I said before.
--
And no, if your wondering I don't believe WE* will be hit again anytime soon. I personally believe this to be a little over exaggerated threat potential, personally, mind you. What do you think?
On Aug. 28, skywatchers across much of North America can watch as the Moon crosses into the Earth's shadow and will undergo its second total eclipse in 2007.
West Coast viewers will get the best show.
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth gets between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow. The view is different from each location on the planet. Along the West Coast of Canada and the United States and in Alaska, the entire eclipse will be visible from start to finish before moonset in the early morning hours of that Tuesday. Hawaiians will see totality – when the moon is completely in Earth's shadow – high in their sky around midnight.
In eastern Asia and Australia, the event will occur on the same date but in the evening, since for this part of the world it will coincide with moonrise.
CHINA
China is a land of so much rich diversity. It's politics MUST* be left aside to enjoy it's aw inspiring temples, shrines, and wonderful scenery. And lets not forget the architecture. China is a land that has held on to it's past and like Japan, displays it for all to see. Below you will see what I mean.
--
Before I do, I have a very special blog to mention, like the ones I mentioned yesterday. This one, http://www.jmbauhaus.com/sparklemotion/, is part of a 3 cluster blog that covers a variety of cool and interesting topics for today's ever changing lifestyle. Check it out guys, I loved it just as much as the others!
And yes, les' we not forget the Great Wall..Rice Fields..
Even area's like this are so amazingly pretty..
--This is simply a teaser of what you will see in these lands, I'm not going to spoil it for you anymore so just lay back and relax and enjoy it for what it is, a wonderful country that must be explored and seen and heard and felt, such as Japan.--(Note: FUNMANSION.COM owns the images that have their logo on it, I in no way take claim of these pictures, and they are all copyrighted by someone, I'm just too lazy to find out who, rights to whoever owns them 2007.
Heyo again guys. I got some real treats for you guys today. First up is http://joshsankey.blogspot.com/ a wonderful sports/everthing site and blog that covers a variety of sports topics, and is very interesting and well written! I liked this blog alot. So please, check it out guys!
--
Up next is http://alittleofeverything-cristlegirl.blogspot.com/, a fellow blogger/blogspot user who has a very nice blog indeed. I especially enjoyed the layout and the topics discussed, as well as the smart money making tips and tricks for bloggers. You guys gotta check this one out too, you won't be dissapointed!
--
Last but certainly not least*, we have http://www.headinknots.com/. The layout is just awesome. Even as a guy I found it very pleasing to the eye. (hehe) This blog has a variety of fun stuff and interesting topics, like the bloggers city, and more! Check it out, like the others, it's a special blog that I found very well written!
--
You guys gotta check these out, the bloggers in my blogroll and in this post are all nice people and they all have a great addition of their own that they have shared with the blogging community. You will be sad if you DON'T* go to these! I promise you won't be dissapointed! Lotta love to you all! God Bless!! :)
I've been really busy so I haven't really had time to make any new interesting posts. The china profile is still being worked on in Microsoft Word so it may be a few more days before I post something interesting, like usual, or at least like sometimes. (Heh.) Anyways I got approved for a 10 dollar post at PayPerPost. It's a baby step to becoming a better more accomplished and somewhat money generating blogger. Although I still do it just becuase I like socializing and talking to others about random stuff. Anyways I gotta go, God Bless and keep blogging or doing whatever bloggers do in their spare time. (Myself, just eat, go to work, come home, watch tv, sleep, repeat cycle.) lol. Like a never ending ferris wheel ride, as such is life in some cases. Anyways enough with the phychology crap, and on with the not being here-ness for tonight. Night' all!
E3 has gotten off to a great start. The new Xbox 360 lineup was quite impressive, from a new Naruto game, to Assassin's Creed, and of course Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. All of these games present a future that is bright for the gaming industry, Microsoft included. The future looks great in my opinion. Tommorow I'm going to talk about the Nintendo and Sony conferences which I know will show some great stuff off for the gaming industry. Such as a resigned PSP, which is said to be much sleeker and smaller than the current PSP, and of course, some new Wii titles.
But enough of my rambling, let's take a look at some of these new titles presented by Microsoft earlier this evening. If you missed it I believe you can find it at http://www.gamespot.com/, they do have a live (but delayed by about 5 seconds feed of the conferences) somewhere on there site, obviously highlighted.
Instead of pictures, I figured the trailers would present the game in better light..enjoy.
CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE
NARUTO: RISE OF A NINJA
More To Come!
PayPerPost. It’s not only a legitimate opportunity; it’s a very successful and loyal to its customer’s program of bloggers who get paid to simply blog! I’ve made several friends on PPP in the past few months, so exciting to finally get the chance to do this, I got approved today and while I’ve only been with PPP for about a few months, visiting wise, not using wise, I’ve learned quite a lot. PPP is a real just open opportunity, it’s got thousands of bloggers signed up for it and they all get paid to do what they love. Perhaps this is why I had to sign up for them. The overall outlook to me of PPP is a fun, exciting way to make money online.
ads on blogs
Once I make my first 10 dollars I intend on spending it on a new game or perhaps saving it for a trip I’m going to be taking next year with some of my own family members and friends.

This review was funny so I decided to post it. It's not by me, it's be quadrine. A very good reviewer who is quite funny. Anyways enjoy..
I think a majority of the reason I stayed with Blogger is becuase of it's simplicity. Wordpress is a great blog publishing system, don't get me wrong, but it seems (TO ME AT LEAST, DURHH) hard to use. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but really I just don't like any other choice besides Blogger. Another thing is this post actually isn't an advertisement venture or an attempt to purseude you into staying if your thinking about switching, although it could be if I want it to. (evil grin) But I digress.
I would love to hear some of your reasons for staying with Blogger to post your blog or such, and how easy it is to use compared to other big name blogging softwares such as Wordpress. And Yeah. Randomness in this post is obvious.
I would post a picture of the Blogger Icon and a "VS" icon and then the Wordpress icon but who do you think I am, a popular blogging outlet?
Remember Goosebumps? Well if you don't it was a fairly long running series of shows based on the Goosebumps books by children's horror writer R.L. Stine. Obviously it's not full of gore, curse words and sexually explicit items, but it's still a creepy show, even today when im much older. I hope you appreciate it, and for the sake of being corny, Viewer beware, your in for a scare!
Online Videos by Veoh.com
I just heard about this so it's most likely old news but apparently a debate is going to happen tomorrow deciding the candidate for the Republican party's run for the White House. *crosses fingers* GO RUDY 2008! lol. Now while most mainstream liberals think Rudy is just a flip flopper (with who other but Kerry to back them up, notabaly the most flip flopping rabbit of them all.
Anyways this should be rather interesting. Will update when the results come in. RUDY, RUDY, RUDY! *MCCAIN!* *slaps* RUDY!
Well there's no denying some of you out there love groups like the w-inds and Lead, but this post ties in with my favorite of the two, (considering I've only heard a few, besides EuroPop) Lead. Their new single "DriveAlive" contains a whole bunch of great pop songs, but the best one, is DriveAlive. To understand this just watch below, (note: If you dislike this two men will break into your house and molester you! (Just kidding, FBI.)
I think the video does this post enough justice, Lead is a great band. And unlike N'sync and other american pop boy bands the ones in Japan and Asia in a whole have a shelf life past 2 years and hold their "in" crowd for a long time. Enjoy!
Im curious, how hot is too hot for you guys? The readers. What makes you want to sit back in a lawnchair outside on the porch and drink ice-tea while showing your hairy armpits to the viewing public? Is it 80, 90, or 100 or above? Or maybe you can't stand anything above 20 or 30 if your an artician (made-up word, but it looks cool).
I personally like anything above 72. It's near perfect in my opinion. How about you?

(This entry is too short to be considered worth while)
Well I recently joined Myspace.com after about 2 years of negligence to join. It seems like Myspace has evolved quite a bit since 2005. All of my friends have had an account on Myspace for nearly 3 years going on 4-5 now. It's strange, I don't think Myspace is really a fad more than it is a place for creepy old men to solicit young girls and boys.
--
I've stayed away from Myspace because of the horrors I've heard from it, (a story about someone who got stalked and stabbed via a Myspace page) could be a normal chain letter or urban legend, I don't know. It just seemed like avoiding the site was the best thing to do until I felt a bit more secure with it. I've got 23 friends so far, most of them I don't even know, some I do, even some up and coming bands which I'm guessing thought my myspace profile was of the Japanese boy band "Lead" by the icon I posted of their hit CD, "DeadAlive".
--
Well I basically just screwed myself over on that but oh well. I've tried to stay away from friend adders because I feel better getting to know people than just adding random people I don't even know. Some of those included strippers, musicians, random dude with a double chin, and someone who lost their husband in an accident or heart attack or something like that. I respect you if your reading this by the way. It takes courage to fight the tears that come into your eyes when you've lost someone and come to the realization that they will never come back, only in your dreams. Of course you will see them again once you die but I'm rambling on here.
--
Anyways this is getting boring and random so I'm going to sign off for the night..erm, morning. Good Night... or Morning wherever you guys live.. lol.
It's been awhile since I last updated, I apologize for the delay, lots of happenings in my own life have hendered me from updating my blog. Tomorrow thank goodness is a Saturday, which should be called TGIS if I could change the past. (lol) But I digress, have a great weekend everyone! =)
UFO'S - THE BEST EVIDENCE EVER
SciFi Channel
--
For those of you interested in UFO's, there's some pretty astonishing footage in this program, which recently aired on the SCI-FI network. Specifically, the NASA footage is rather impressiv. And while we know for a fact that three of the examples given in this show have since been proven as hoaxes, the rest of the footage, to this day, remains a mystery to scientists, paranormal investigators and ugologists alike. So check it out, and let us know what you think!
--
This is a great indepth show for those of you who are interested in those pieplates in the sky, aliens, paranormal, etc. It's not something I believe in persay, but it's still interesting to watch. It's also pretty funny becuase some of the footage is obviously falsified works of crafty and tedious hoaxer's.
--
If your interested in watching this clip you can find it below, if your going to watch it, please remember that not everything you see on tv is true just becuase it's explained well. Even hoaxer's can explain their work using other people like friends and family.
--
Some of them I do admit are hard to debunk but it's just a good show for those of you who like this kind of thing. Lots of great pictures, NASA space cam pictures included, just nice stuff. So if your interested, get some popcorn, a blanket, and some pepsi (or cocain -- a.k.a Coca Cola) sit back, and enjoy!

Why are we seeing so many school shootings these days? From Columbine, the Amish School Shootings, the shootings last year at Virginia Tech and now this, which grimly re-wrote past history as the worst school shooting in American history. But this isn't something that should of been -- something that should of been avoided. However, it must be said with today's immoral, unorganized society that it was bound to happen.
I'm frankly surprised it didn't happen sooner. It's something that we must realize is a real threat and start taking action NOW. I'm sure you are just as much as me having a heartache for these poor souls. So young to die, so much life to pursue, such a wonderful and grand future for these bright young people. Taken away by a senseless act of violence. It's sickening but reawakens the stance on gun control.
No I don't believe we should remove guns, because they are used for protection. However I think we should eliminate the use of guns without further diving into the persons background and history. Looking into the future I hope to see something done about this all. God bless you all. Pray for those poor college students -- they need your prayers right now in this time of immense catastrophe.
