Countless things have happened since August 29, 2008:  2 things I consider extraordinary between now and then, 2 things- 2 drastic changes. I know this is a more serious manner of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;blogging considering those other posts, coming from me. I will speak briefly on the first- I met the most wonderful person on September 7, 2008 and changed my life, turned it around- put more meaning in it. I love her. lol So yeah, that's just it for now. I'll post more about it on my personal blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second drastic thing is the one that is to uttermost the huge change in history, in the present and in the future. And to think that I have not blogged in this for awhile, this is a situation, an event, a moment, a time worth telling the virtual world about! Obama won! No words can express the things running through my mind about what's gonna happen now, and later on, but one thing I know for sure- I believe he is a sincere man and America is a country of possibilities;  no ifs ands buts about it. Last night is your answer to that. This is history. I witnessed it. God bless America and God be with us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Check out &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6185658" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Obama's speech&lt;/a&gt;... powerful stuff... powerful stuff...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I can be serious too you know!" ;p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8460127938267776987-2799239758232678016?l=absurdized.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/feeds/2799239758232678016/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8460127938267776987&amp;postID=2799239758232678016&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/2799239758232678016'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/2799239758232678016'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/2008/11/yes-we-can.html' title='YES WE CAN!!!'/><author><name>PointlessEndeavor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460127938267776987.post-182339370588233141</id><published>2008-08-29T14:20:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T14:37:04.050-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='randomness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IMGs and VIDs'/><title type='text'>BAD BAD BAD!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hmmm, after endless research about blogging I found myself reading an article about being BAD, otherwise known as Blog Addiction Disorder!

The only problem is not many non-Asians could handle these exclusive dishes. These "delicacies" you probably can't stomach, but that's okay, seeing the cause of/in your weakness(in appetite that is), we(I'm not Chinese!) take pride! lol If you think you can handle it, read on and say something! But if you think you can't, then scroll down pick another post and don't be a hater... This is quite lengthy so, patience is a virtue; in the end, you might've learned something!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEIbAQDTFI/AAAAAAAAAHE/oF8N8LCXdEA/s1600-h/Olympics_Snacks.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237977101625412690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEIbAQDTFI/AAAAAAAAAHE/oF8N8LCXdEA/s200/Olympics_Snacks.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;You'll find KFC, Starbucks and all sorts of familiar food franchises in China. But as expected and as rumors say, you'll also see people munching on scorpions, silkworms, starfish and cicadas.

Snake-blood masters simply cut off the snake’s head and let the blood flow in glasses. Then they add the bile and serve the drink to anyone brave enough to try it.&lt;br /&gt;Snake blood is most popular in Taiwan and in the capital of Tapei there’s a place called Snake Alley where you can find all kinds of snake super-products.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEIbAQDTFI/AAAAAAAAAHE/oF8N8LCXdEA/s1600-h/Olympics_Snacks.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEI9uBKxcI/AAAAAAAAAHU/U4r2U66Gdqk/s1600-h/fried_rats.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237977698026571202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEI9uBKxcI/AAAAAAAAAHU/U4r2U66Gdqk/s200/fried_rats.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEIbAQDTFI/AAAAAAAAAHE/oF8N8LCXdEA/s1600-h/Olympics_Snacks.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Just so you know these are not the kind of rats you see lurking around your local dumpsters; these ones live in the fields. People eat them deep fried and seasoned with all kinds of delicious spices, especially in Vietnam, small central part in the Philippines or Thailand. Sometimes even foreign tourists gather all their courage and have a taste, but their stomachs have a hard time digesting the meat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEKKqwM0_I/AAAAAAAAAH0/76EAx0Z3_oY/s1600-h/bird_nest_soup.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237979020000023538" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEKKqwM0_I/AAAAAAAAAH0/76EAx0Z3_oY/s200/bird_nest_soup.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The main ingredient for this exclusive Asian dish is the Swiftlet nest. The Swiftlet is a sparrow-like bird living in the southern islands of Thailand that makes its nest out of saliva. Swiftlet nests are one of the most expensive food ingredients in the world and companies in the business would go to any length to protect their investments, even killing those that get too close to their bird colonies.&lt;br /&gt;When boiled, the nests give the soup a gelatinous texture, so you’re basically eating water and bird saliva…delicious. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLELy6jOXBI/AAAAAAAAAH8/SfizcU_3KH4/s1600-h/kopi_luwak.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237980810946960402" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLELy6jOXBI/AAAAAAAAAH8/SfizcU_3KH4/s200/kopi_luwak.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEIbAQDTFI/AAAAAAAAAHE/oF8N8LCXdEA/s1600-h/Olympics_Snacks.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Kopi Luwak is the rarest, most expensive coffee in the world. That’s what most people know about it, but few know it actually comes from the excrements of an Indonesian animal called the Luwak. This cat-like creature eats only the ripest coffee berries, but because its stomach is unable to digest them, they come out whole. The stomach acids and enzymes that perform the fermentation of the beans give the coffee a special aroma. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEKG8RgnQI/AAAAAAAAAHs/CZnfo_xVcmc/s1600-h/bee_larvae.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237978955983658242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEKG8RgnQI/AAAAAAAAAHs/CZnfo_xVcmc/s200/bee_larvae.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEIbAQDTFI/AAAAAAAAAHE/oF8N8LCXdEA/s1600-h/Olympics_Snacks.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEL2-AZNGI/AAAAAAAAAIE/lE_8tptbDZ8/s1600-h/monkey_brains.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLEL2-AZNGI/AAAAAAAAAIE/lE_8tptbDZ8/s1600-h/monkey_brains.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Not as disgusting as other Asian foods, bee larvae are very popular in China and Japan. They are either deep fried and seasoned with salt and pepper, or cooked with soy sauce and sugar. They’re crunchy and sweet and the locals eat them like popcorn, but some people just can’t get over the fact that they look like maggots.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLETm_Vii7I/AAAAAAAAAIM/iOw4oYPIEJ0/s1600-h/monkey_brains.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237989402166332338" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SLETm_Vii7I/AAAAAAAAAIM/iOw4oYPIEJ0/s200/monkey_brains.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Last, but not the least... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;If you think simply eating monkey brains is strange, I wonder how you feel about eating them while the poor monkey is still alive. This is a popular practice in southern China, where some restaurants have specially designed tables to allow monkeys to be restrained and their skulls opened. Sometimes monkey brains eaters use the top of the skull as a bowl where they mix the brains with alcohol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well that's all for the absurdity of the day...

Well, don't mistake "free" for "free-dom"- two different things and freedom is definitely not free (both literally and figuratively) but that's a whole other subject on its own. We surveyed a couple of sources (well, I did...) and I picked top 5 answers for this random and absurd question of the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; "Because, if there are no phone bills, another's freedom to make profit would be violated!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; "They have the freedom to charge.

Writing a letter is much cheaper. for cell phones, you are paying for a service that didn't even exist 20 years ago. don't you appreciate all the work that went into inventing them? You are using freaking satellites for crying out loud."&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff99;"&gt;Nicely put.. very well said...

I wouldn't miss that for anything! And the lucky athlete of the day to be posted for the day is Super Heavyweight Jang Mi-ran from South Korea who broke 3 WORLD RECORDS aiming to get the gold.

Well, I'm still kicking. This is a frustration post and about a technology disaster than I am currently a victim of...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Vista is a wreck people in which case I already know that you know that.... It's a major disaster! Why couldn't they have just stayed with XP and went on from there, you know upgrade XP to more than a pro and not create a new one like this piece of junk! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;First off, it crashes non-stop and trust me, it's not my notebook. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My stupid "dungy" Operating System has left me desolate. Of course, you can say that there are a lot of advantages especially in Vista Ultimate and Business but trust me eventually after awhile, it will crash and burn! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The gist is that I am kissed off because my comp froze a few minutes before I was supposed to have an interview with a client (Yeah great right?). And it never unfroze again until I was an hour late for the meeting. So, where do you think that job went? DOWN THE DRAIN!!! Ugh! Trying to be calm, I restarted it and then it came up with an error message bolded: FATAL SYSTEM ERROR blue screen! Heck, I was just on the stupid thing and it was fine. One minute its cool then, it becomes ugly! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I mean c'mon it's not the laptop because the hard drive is still pretty much in there and safe. I already backed it up. BUT for goodness sake, the OS is driving me crazy! It's not booting up so, how the stinking heck am supposed to troubleshoot?! This calls for sending it back to tech support and letting them fix it or replace it either or!

This is somewhat (definitely lol) personal. And if you think the title sounds "traitoristic"(my word!)... as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;hmmmm... I perceived the question in your stare when you read my title. "Can you actually multi-pledge your allegiance?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; READ ON!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You say...&lt;br /&gt;Allegiance is loyalty to one and one only - none other. It is an oath to obedience, a duty of                     obligation either to defend or any other... obligation of fidelity and genuine obedience to a                     country or to a person. If you are loyal to one, you cannot be loyal to the other! That would be                 betrayal! You're a traitor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say...&lt;br /&gt;My friend, first of all, your puny brain must comprehend this when I say, it is a freedom of              speech to say  "I multi-pledge!" (lol) No, in all seriousness, I am most certainly loyal and                     most definitely under obligation  to anything both parties are involved in. Although, I cannot be in two places at once but I can have a part of me to in the other and another in another. Don't get me wrong because I would do as much for one as much as I would for the other. I am both equally indebted to them- therefore, there is no betrayal and I am no traitor for I merely love and I simply serve.  Dramatically speaking, I would even as much as die for one as I would for the other; there is no unfairness, inequality, injustice, partiality, one-sidedness, prejudice, however you wanna call it-&lt;br /&gt;Loyalty is all there is to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am loyal to both even unto death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and by the way I can be sober sometimes... That's when I multi-pledge! You should do it some time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8460127938267776987-2723216808814767562?l=absurdized.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/feeds/2723216808814767562/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8460127938267776987&amp;postID=2723216808814767562&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/2723216808814767562'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/2723216808814767562'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-m-ulti-pledge-allegiance.html' title='I multi-pledge allegiance...'/><author><name>PointlessEndeavor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SJ4s3suOtwI/AAAAAAAAAFg/i_ssRXWmrTY/s72-c/american-flag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460127938267776987.post-6633590326638289773</id><published>2008-08-06T16:29:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T16:37:36.170-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Absurd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='randomness'/><title type='text'>"Gnat" for the Faint of Heart</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Once again, in the randomness of my nature, I thought about posting a twist on common phrases.

Let's take it to an extra level- Do you spend too much time on the computer searching almost about anything you can think of, without any relevance to what you want to see or even do at all? Is "Googling" your way of killing time either at work or just whenever? So much so that you have considered it one of the top list in your online habits? Or better yet, do you use Google for your own benefit thinking, hoping, and wishing that you can Google your way to success?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SJjAkeQNQEI/AAAAAAAAADY/uQFKZkCD1Sc/s1600-h/Untitled.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SJjAkeQNQEI/AAAAAAAAADY/uQFKZkCD1Sc/s400/Untitled.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231142700019695682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't be frightened mate, it is not at all wrong to admit it, because you're not alone. Google addiction has reached epidemic proportions with no possible cure but to cut your internet access off! (You wouldn't wanna do that, would you?!) When you spend too much time on the computer searching for anything you can think of, you've become a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" &gt;Google freak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;, otherwise known as "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Google-holic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;". I can definitely tell you that I am a certified Google Freak in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Google Mania Land&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, like I said... there is nothing wrong with it- as that saying goes, "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" &gt;Everything comes to those who Google...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that- Folks, we must not back down from our record-breaking, highest degree label of being an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Xtreme Googler&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;! We must keep on clicking even when we have so much to search, information to upload, file overload, everything available with a click of a mouse but ironically not enough time so to say- "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" &gt;So much to google, too little time...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Therefore, before our time runs out, we must go on; we must remain and conquer! As both the principle and words of Julius Ceasar applies today as you join the world of Googlers in searching and conquering information in the Web World... Let us altogether prove the statement: "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" &gt;I CAME, I SAW, I &gt;GOOGLED&lt;...!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you say? You have  nothing at all to lose but everything to learn!

He opens the lid, only to find a boy in there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         The policeman asks, " What are you doing in there, boy?"&lt;br /&gt;         Shut up replies, "Playing hide-and-seek, sir."&lt;br /&gt;         Intrigued, the policeman asks,"What's your name, boy?" &lt;br /&gt;         "Shut up."&lt;br /&gt;         "Where are your manners, boy?!"&lt;br /&gt;         "Manners is up the tree."&lt;br /&gt;         "Boy, are you looking for trouble???"&lt;br /&gt;         "No sir, Trouble is looking for me!" :lol: :-D :lol: :-D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If that tickled  you even a slightest bit, give me a buzz... My email link is to the right. I know you'd prefer the vote poll thingy down there. I think this is more personal. It's more like it. hehe&lt;br /&gt;You'll never know if I get more "Yes, start a Joke of the day posts" I'll certainly do it.&lt;br /&gt;Until then, I'll be waiting for your say to it.

We are aware of those we see with our naked eyes. It's as bad as the optical illusion I talked about earlier. There are countless words in the English language: there are interesting ones that are long obsolete, and ones that remain. We must know words can trick us. You must know that most people have such a way with words that they can cheat and convince you of whatever things they want you to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, words play with your brain especially when you don't know their meaning. Suddenly somebody tells you something and you don't understand what they're saying, you just sort of smirk or breathe a smile because you just don't know what in the world they're saying and don't know how to respond and you don't especially want to look stupid. Let me break the news to you my friend, you already look stupid to begin with!&lt;br /&gt;For Pete's sake, for all you know they're telling you how you're going to die! lol That could be a very far-fetched idea but hey, it can be a possibility.  This is why you need to know words and broaden your vocabulary a little. Learn words like "obbligato"- you might mistake it to be Spanish or Italian, and say "Oh yeah, obligation".  No, you dummy! It's an English word and  it means music accompaniment by a solo instrument other than a piano! You see words mess with your brain...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said all that, to ask you this question of the day, something to think about perhaps for those people who have nothing to do, or those bored and bewildered: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: center;font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;blink&gt;"Why do we pay tolls on the freeway?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blink&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;blink&gt;"&lt;/blink&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;blink&gt;Why is it we go from here to there and then when we get there, we're still here and not there?"&lt;/blink&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blink style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blink&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;blink&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blink&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Very tricky huh?

It is after all my country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And by the way, I suggest that they should also promote American Football out there! (lol)  It's football!!!

I'm tapping into your system once again to talk ab&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;out whatever I want to talk about. It's not easy to come up  with something to talk about when you're the only one thinking about the things you want to talk about for people later to talk about what you've just talked about. Well, I was wandering around the web and stumbled upon a lot of images and articles of what we're about to talk about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Absurdity. The "ellipsoid of rotation" or "spheroid", otherwise known as the earth, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;is absurd, and so are the people in it! Yes, your eyes did not fail you- that's a very point blank, blunt statement from me, a slacker and an &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;accused&lt;/span&gt; lollygagger by philosophers, scientists, atheists, and general individuals- who either believes or instructs (rather brainwashes) the society to the so-called "missing link" and the so-regarded "proven fact" of Darwin's theory of evolution.&lt;br /&gt;Who can be so blind and mislead enough to actually consider the everliving myth that the earth's existence was a result of a huge explosion billions of years ago?! Who is here so foolish to regard that the world jus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;t so happened without a higher power behind it?! Who will be so dense enough not to consider the profound and radically complicated build of both the earth and the human body?! If you can, you are, and you will- then, you are altogether mistaken, perhaps mislead! A person in their right mind is not, cannot, and will not because he believes in the Divine authority behind this reality we're in.&lt;br /&gt;The only way of rebuttal I have to counter this hogwash is to explain everything in simple terms. This is                 definitely &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;Death to Evolution for Dummies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Touching explosions- THEY NEITHER CREATE nor REMAKE an entity; THEY DESTROY, BRING CHAOS, and LEAVE PURE RUBBLE!

Maybe, you're asking why those so-believed smart individuals called me a lollygagger. They did not necessarily say that to my face, but the intent of what they are feeding the whole world crowd is more than enough, worse than spitting at you in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SJJDno9GhwI/AAAAAAAAAB8/NudUHmafCks/s1600-h/APE-Hode.ww258_zm1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 114px; height: 155px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SJJDno9GhwI/AAAAAAAAAB8/NudUHmafCks/s320/APE-Hode.ww258_zm1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229316465618224898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;the face and telling you that you're stupid!

If you just analyze the given, observe, and ask yourself the infamous question of anybody else's lifetime- you'll definitely come to the same conclusion that I have and most "smart" people have, giving this "theory" its reasonable doubt. What? you ask is the question? Piece of cake: If we evolved from apes, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;why then are there still apes today? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;When will they evolve?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Go figure...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;My intent was not to bash anybody in any way while writing this; it was to awaken your sens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;es to the li&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;es fed to you by general textbooks, media, technologies, you name it! In the end, you decide what to believe and who to believe- I have no say in it. All I can mutter is that when the writer said, "Evolution both a fact and a theory."- I say, wrong- it is neither a fact nor can be regarded as a legitimate theory, it's a hoax.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Image taken from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.arngren.net" target="_blank"&gt;© arngren.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8460127938267776987-3861297688926703058?l=absurdized.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/feeds/3861297688926703058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8460127938267776987&amp;postID=3861297688926703058&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/3861297688926703058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/3861297688926703058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/2008/07/viva-no-its-muerte-de-la-evolucion.html' title='Viva? no, it&apos;s- Muerte de La Evolucion!'/><author><name>PointlessEndeavor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SJJDno9GhwI/AAAAAAAAAB8/NudUHmafCks/s72-c/APE-Hode.ww258_zm1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460127938267776987.post-9043024053142702770</id><published>2008-07-30T17:57:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T16:33:19.408-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IMGs and VIDs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hilarious'/><title type='text'>Do the impossible?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Impossibility always has its limits like: when you were a kid, you thought it was impossible for you to get your hands on those cookies in the cookie jar but all you really had to do was get a chair and pretend to be Tarzan! or (in your time) In the 50's, you'd never thought of colored TVs existence, well look again, you can even posterize it or set it on nightvision today! Explorations, experiments, and innovations are more intense and extremely advanced now than they were before.

Well, touching the fact of possibilities in the world of impossibilities, like they say "Try and Try until you die... I mean until you succeed." There is definitely no harm in trying. It increases your chances of achieving what you labeled impossible in your puny head. Think big! You think it's  impossible?! Try doing it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;In this illustration, I will show you an extremely impossible task made possible by merely a song! A lot of professionals, strangers, bystanders, wannabes have tried and tried for years to make this possible that just ended in their dismay. Some even spent amounts of money just to make it happen but all of that was to no avail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;This task was impossible before, until now!

Well, it is basically an agreement between a manager and a so-called "Rockstar" in the booming world of our music industry.  It will most likely contain, of course, who the manager is, how much he gets paid, and when that process goes into effect, etc. Therefore, for dummies or should I say "in layman's terms", signing a management contract means signing a paper to hand a percentage of your money over to the person managing your Rockstar career and sometimes telling you what to do. Great huh? But wait, it has its own advantages too. In it, comes responsibility enhancement on your  part being  busy, famous, and all- this gives your manager the power to accept and sign gigs and contracts for you while you're out gallavanting somewhere. Mathematically speaking, an artist management contract is to money matters.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;             On serious terms though, there are a lot of artists/musicians/celebrities out there who do not have managers and end up having there careers ruined. That doesn't mean they should go out wild in search for managers and signing contracts. Oh no! These contracts are very intricate. You may sign something and later find yourself in the middle of a lawsuit. You have got to make sure somebody's there as a witness and READ THE FINE PRINT! Signing a management contract is like applying for a credit card- you need to know the details of everything, otherwise, you drown in debt!&lt;br /&gt;        So, whether you are a newbie in the music business, an amateur artist, a popular balladeer in your town, an infamous rock star, or just someone who loves to make music and aspire to be one- you need to check this for more information so as not to be mislead in any way by Recording Companies or Management Agencies, because I'm telling you, this is serious stuff!&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" &gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" &gt;Artist Management Contracts and more can be found on the world's #1 music business contracts and agreements site, with instant access to Artist Management Contracts, Music Contracts, Recording Contracts and More.

But considering the positive, I'll hire my parents; they do a good job managing my homework, running my life and telling me what to do anyway. ;) They even manage my money! What more could I ask for???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing really, except hope for the best...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8460127938267776987-839867024573706727?l=absurdized.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/feeds/839867024573706727/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8460127938267776987&amp;postID=839867024573706727&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/839867024573706727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/839867024573706727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/2008/07/artist-management-contracts.html' title='Artist Management Contracts???'/><author><name>PointlessEndeavor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460127938267776987.post-8655207094723986914</id><published>2008-07-29T16:29:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T16:32:25.023-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Somewhat Educational'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IMGs and VIDs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hilarious'/><title type='text'>Operation Soccer: Heading Technique</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good Day World!

There are different methods of swinging at the ball with your head:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: times new roman;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SI-EnFnbcRI/AAAAAAAAABc/3ksypfu4ig8/s1600-h/soccer.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SI-EnFnbcRI/AAAAAAAAABc/3ksypfu4ig8/s320/soccer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228543499457753362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: times new roman;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SI-EwFIFTpI/AAAAAAAAABk/eHSB44pYZAE/s1600-h/head-flick-s.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SI-EwFIFTpI/AAAAAAAAABk/eHSB44pYZAE/s320/head-flick-s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228543653945101970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: times new roman;" href="http://www.blogger.com/www.expertfootball.com"&gt;© Expert Football&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;From left to right, this is how to perform them...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;First is the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;Common or standard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt; way; it is done by hitting the ball with force by arching back and swinging your head forward. The ball should hit the center of your forehead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Next is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;Diving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;... I don't just plunge your face in the dirt. This is performed by plunging your body in the path of the ball while stretching your arms forward for safe landing. Frankly, I don't think they should call it diving... it should've been called "flying" since how you have to make sure you protect your face... Hence you plan to propel and land- propelling up and landing safe= Aeronautics! Before I get carried away with that issue which I have been for years now... let's just move on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Thirdly,  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;Glancing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt; header is pretty easy- it's just turning your head to where you want the ball to fly as you hit it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Lastly, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;Flick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt; header is done by hitting the ball with the back of your head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Okay... This was just an excuse to run the mouth in my naggin.... But seriously knowledge of these techniques is extremely important! It requires precision and skill! Any player who can't perform these correctly is seriously in big doo doo! These stuff can break your nose, rack your brain, give you a black-eye, disfigure your pretty little face, or even crack your head open(that was exaggerated...). You need to practice. Practice makes perfect. My coach always told me- "You need to hit the ball not the ball beating you up." Who was he kidding?! ME? Who likes getting hit in the head with a flying object?! They always say that it won't hurt you if you do it correctly...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wonder if this girl did it correctly:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SI-Lu1hlA1I/AAAAAAAAABs/gWR35MAbj_M/s1600-h/way-to-use-your-head-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SI-Lu1hlA1I/AAAAAAAAABs/gWR35MAbj_M/s320/way-to-use-your-head-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228551329158595410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.funnyhub.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;© FunnyHub&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Its looks like it hurts...

Not Anymore!</title><content type='html'>Are you and your small-time friends being bullied by big-time, big, big-headed kids at school? Do you get up in the morning scared to get out of that street just to get beat up by street bullies? or Do they always treat you like a nobody at your workplace and bully you around? Get ready to say goodbye to embarrassment and scream a big, fat hello to dominion and superiority. As we go on, you will see and learn how to deal with a bully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First things first though- you have to know now that I wasn't bullied(lol) in my time; I assure you that. It just so happened that I found this source, as of course me having a lot of time in my hands, in &lt;a href="http://www.funnyhub.com/"&gt;funnyhub&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, quite honestly, I was bullied when I was in elementary school by some kid name Humphrey(classified information-dont tell anybody). He was kissed off because I didn't want to be in his group and  I made my own. So, whenever my friends weren't with me, he would pretend to pick a fight and all those ugly stuff ugly kids do to you, you know what I'm saying. But anyway, enough with my sad child story!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you relate??? Well if you can... I recommend this strategy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;object height="320" width="400"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.tinyclips.net/emb.aspx/video~bully_on_a_train_gets_pantsed/Bully_on_a_train_gets_pantsed/Cool_videos/"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.tinyclips.net/emb.aspx/video%7Ebully_on_a_train_gets_pantsed/Bully_on_a_train_gets_pantsed/Cool_videos/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="320" width="400"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tinyclips.net/" target="_blank"&gt;© tinyclips.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, it works! It's gonna send them running off!

I came across with this link - "Day in Pictures". I thought, this could be interesting because usually when they have those kind of titles up, it links to a lot of interesting photos like two-headed humans, 80-pound siamese cats in China, tail-less dogs, five identical babies, a grandmother in bikini, etc.&lt;br /&gt;Instead, I found myself looking at: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228210798643713554" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SI5WBWgFFhI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OTQVZR7wpnY/s320/_44870045_bfd5e718-7c78-4913-b133-ad012b829399.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt; &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/7529426.stm"&gt;© BBC.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Yeah.. Right...I know what you're thinking... I might be thinking the same thing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was posted with this caption and I quote, &lt;em&gt;"British schools have closed for their summer break, leaving this young boy free to play in a water feature near the River Thames in London, where temperatures reached 30C." &lt;/em&gt;and so then, it made me... WOW! Amazing! Then I thought out loud, "WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THIS KID's MOM?!" You'll never know in our world today, there could've been a pedophile around preying on this poor kid, or a hidden camera (lol) like what BBC just did which I'm sure it was permitted, but still... there should've been at least a guardian in the picture (lol) so we know it's safe!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright, I admit, I am probably just jealous. I probably just miss my childhood... who doesn't?! Everybody has those moments where they just stop, think, and wish they could turn back time and be a child again. Nevertheless, don't get me wrong- I don't want to be a kid again (lol)... Are you kidding?! I wouldn't have a job, be making money, and be driving an SS Trailblazer right now if I was!!! (haha) But anyway, memories are cool...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I'll leave the kid's picture alone... But hey, you'll never know.. I might have a picture of me like that in my moms dusty albums. It's fine. Please don't dig it up. You know how embarassing that would be if you posted it online?! I'll just ask my mother later if she has one of those photos but in the mean time... hang in there... don't hold your breath. Trust me, you wouldn't want to do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;What you want to do is this...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you think the kid's mother should've been in the photograph? Yes or No in the comments log!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8460127938267776987-5412664866821679029?l=absurdized.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/7529426.stm' title='&quot;Day in Pictures&quot;'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/feeds/5412664866821679029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8460127938267776987&amp;postID=5412664866821679029&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/5412664866821679029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/5412664866821679029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/2008/07/day-in-pictures.html' title='&quot;Day in Pictures&quot;'/><author><name>PointlessEndeavor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_hmusDhcOYfc/SI5WBWgFFhI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OTQVZR7wpnY/s72-c/_44870045_bfd5e718-7c78-4913-b133-ad012b829399.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460127938267776987.post-8356788015779499636</id><published>2008-07-28T17:33:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T16:29:53.870-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prologues'/><title type='text'>My Beginnings...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:webdings;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"  &gt; Beginnings are always significant in anything, whether it be an event, personal issues, business plans, you name it; They state a certain aura to let everybody know what you're going to do next. In other words, they lead to first impressions about you. In this case, I'm talking about writing/blogging...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;                I could've done this centuries ago, so to speak...  blog in BLOGSPOT, but I didn't due to some design, time, excuses discrepancies in my part.  Keyword: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;excuses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt; Well, now I have no excuse to just sit back and twiddle  my thumbs while others get up and talk about things to express themselves. Heck, I have a right to speak my mind too! And that I will!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;               By the way, to consistently do this, inspiration is needed. Inspiration doesn't come easy mind you... It's hard to focus yourself in to starting something and then finishing it. Therefore, I really have to focus here (lol). Since I not only like how my blog is designed, I absolutely adore it!!! I am definitely inspired to fill it all up with words. And not only words, but phrases. And not only phrases, but sentences. And not only sentences, but paragraphs. And not only paragraphs, but pages. You get the point... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;You 're going to get a doze of me and my absurd ideas!!!&lt;br /&gt;So get ready WEB WORLD- I'll have you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;Ãb§u®d-ized&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;in no time!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8460127938267776987-8356788015779499636?l=absurdized.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/feeds/8356788015779499636/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8460127938267776987&amp;postID=8356788015779499636&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/8356788015779499636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8460127938267776987/posts/default/8356788015779499636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://absurdized.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-beginnings.html' title='My Beginnings...'/><author><name>PointlessEndeavor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
