Hello. How are you? Who cares? From my docile side to my buried side the blog speaks.

Bull sharks are fairly aggressive shark that have a built-in mechanism that allows them to live in fresh water. Dubbed the swamp shark, they seem to be at home in Louisiana swamps. The shark has been caught some 900 miles up the Mississippi River in St. Louis.
Learn more about Bull sharks here. The threat was predicted here.

I didn't know nor cared about who Jon and Kate were, but apparently they are the rave of reality TV. She was like the original Octo-mom. Somehow people seem to care about their life that's one big joke. Yes, Hollywood has truly gone insane over this reality bs!
If you remember Nadya Suleman had a litter of octuplets. She was a single mom on welfare, and claimed what a struggle it would be. She shamelessly solicited funds online and was donated a house worth over a million. She also hired publicist, agents and lawyers to expand her career. Now we find a Michael Jackson connection to the octo-mom's children. There's an allegation from Suleman's publicist that Michael Jackson tried to adopt the octuplets. Of course, Nadya refused because she thought it was weird...unlike having eight children you couldn't afford! It seems that even in death MJ's weirdness comes alive! Then again after seeing people asking for Jon's and Kate's autograph, I have to wonder if the world has become weird. It is all about the ratings after all.
Power of Positive ThinkingJuly 4th 2009 20:00
There is a new study that claims that positive thinking can make things worse. Positive thinking may lower one's self-esteem. For most people it may work in some way, but for some it can lower their self-esteem much lower than it already might be.
I believe the self-esteem gets lowered because of disappointments in life, more so than the thought process. If someone repeats "I am lovable" and faces disappointment in the real world, it tends to lower their self-esteem.
It's That Time Again...July 4th 2009 19:35
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island is a yearly tradition to see who can eat the most hot dogs. This year's contestants are ready to pig out on hot dogs! The two big ones are Chestnut and Kobayashi. Chestnut won and set a new record downing 68 dogs!
Even on a good day, with the best tasting hot dogs, I can't eat more than eight! I don't eat hot dogs that much today. They are byproducts of processed meats and aren't the healthiest things on earth
The High Cost of Free Health CareJuly 4th 2009 14:18
I once got a taste of a European's country free health care in the late 70s. It wasn't too pleasant. I spent a week in the hospital for daily tests that could have been done in less than an hour in my current doctor's office in the States. This didn't happen once, but twice. Times have changed since then, and they seem to have gotten worse.
Today free government-run health care isn't as helpful as people think it is. In Canada and England people may not get needed treatments in time. Sure it's free, but the wait can be from days to months. Makes emergency room waiting in the US seem very tolerable
Social Networking Reflects SocietyJuly 4th 2009 13:16
I don't belong to any social network on the web. Putting yourself out on the internet may not always be a good thing. I do have a lot of friends that use social networks and love them.
It seems that the two big social networks may be reflecting society as a whole. MySpace is being compared to a digital ghetto. Facebook seems to be taking on a whole new type of 'white flight' according to the article
War May Have Been WrongJuly 4th 2009 12:37
In order for someone to actually convince me to go against my beliefs, they must prove that their argument isn't from a political standpoint(in this case anyway). I finally have been convinced that perhaps the War in Iraq was a mistake. That is if you actually believe Saddam Hussein!
In an FBI interrogation report, Saddam claimed that he had WMDs out of fear of Iran. He was even willing to deal with the US, because he knew that Iran was the real threat
Happy 250th BirthdayJuly 4th 2009 11:56
Ireland's Guinness stout marks its 250th year of production. To celebrate the occasion, Guinness is planning to give three once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
A winner will go into space, another will go to the ocean's depths, and another wins a personal performance from The Black Eyed Peas. Some of these seem far-fetched, especially the space prize. Just what we need, a drunk in space and under the sea
Banjo the DinosaurJuly 3rd 2009 23:18
Science must be running out of names for new found species, so they are using names that resemble Michael Jackson son, Blanket. Three new dinosaurs are found in Australia. One was a meat-eater and the others were plant-eaters. Go figure how the plant-eaters look like a Brontosaur. They have been nicknamed Matilda and Clancy.
The meat-eater is Australia's answer to a Velociraptor and has been nicknamed Banjo! It was light and agile and the cheetah of its time, because it could outrun its prey. Like most carnivores of the time, Banjo was ferocious and terrifying
Ads From The PastJuly 3rd 2009 21:22
Product ads are never what they seem to be. Sometimes we really aren't getting what we think we are, and at times we may even be in danger by using them. At one time in history we gave babies narcotics and Coca Cola contained cocaine. Cigarette ads always made it look like people enjoyed life.
Here are some ironic ads from the past. You can bet that these types of ads are still out there but are probably not as easy to detect. As with anything involving a consumer: Let the buyer beware!
