Twitter Making Insurance Go Up!


I was listening on the radio this morning about how twitter could cause our insurance to go up! I was thinking how is this possible knowing that Twitter could effect my insurance right? Well, they said its because most people when tweeting put where they are whether there at home, school, work or out on a business trip. This leaves predators knowing exactly where we are. Our chances of them stealing our stuff or breaking into our homes is more likely. You would think that people on our twitter page are supposed to be people who follow you to be friends and someone you could somewhat trust. Not exactly though. I mean how many people know exactly who you are talking too? I don't. I know I would like to know all of them. Even if you 'say' you did know all of them, how do you know they are not hiding there identity?? I never really thought about this till I heard it on the radio of course. Its good to think about though. Like pondering on what peoples intentions are? What do you think? Until then....

Cheikezie Used Stolen Credit Card



Chikezie Eze from 'American Idol' was arrested after trying to buy two bottles of men's cologne on a stolen credit card. Some one saw him being taken away by security and reported it.He is out on $50,000 bail. Which was the approximate price of two bottles of cologne that he bought at Neiman's. Why would someone do something like this. I mean why didn't he use common sense right? Like the fact that you know your 'going to get caught!' Now he is dealing with a felony arrest because he just wanted to smell good. Was it really worth it? Well Chikezie says "I haven't done anything wrong myself and I'm pretty confident nothing is going to happen." I think he says that because he is somewhat famous by being on American Idol. Which we know most celebrities get away with alot simply because they are famous! Do you think this is fair? Or do you think he deserves time for this? Tell me your thoughts... Until then..

School Shooting in Colorado



A shooting happened Tuesday at Deer Creek Middle School in Littleton, CO. A 32 year old Bruco Strongeagle Eastwood. Who has a history of arrests for domestic violence, assault, menacing, driving under the influence and motor vehicle theft. Eastwood's father, described the alleged shooter as "different." "I don't know why he did this, but he's always had problems." Eastwood shot two students one male and one female. They both were initially taken to the hospital where authorities initially said were non life-threatening injuries. It could have been worse if it wasn't for a math teacher who has become a national hero after breaking up what could have been a potentially deadly school shooting.

Also in my school line of news.
88 Teachers fired due to improving the quality of a high school!

So when the school board in Central Falls, R.I., fired all 88 teachers and staff at its high school, the move had little to do with productivity and everything to do with sending a message to teachers unions: The status quo of poor performing schools is unacceptable. Central Falls' high school was one of six schools Rhode Island identified as poor performers. Test scores are low. Just over half of the students drop out. The superintendent and teachers tried to reach agreement on transformation, which would have meant working longer hours, among other things, but failed. Then the superintendent opted for turnaround and at a public meeting Tuesday, the board voted to fire all the staff. This was super dramatic. Do you think this was a good idea or bad? Or will it have a good impression on them or make this school system worse? what do you think? Until then....

Killer Whale Kills Trainer at Sea World!


Today Orlando's SeaWorld suspended its famous Orca show. Due to one Killer Whale named Tilikum, nicknamed Telly. Who killed the female trainer there. She was pronounced dead at the scene at around 2pm today. One witness said the Orca (who is not one of the whales that trainers get in the water with) rose out from the water and grabbed the trainer by the waist and shook her violently. This 30 year old, particular Killer Whale was the largest in his size in captivity. Weighing five tons. We know this is a great tragedy, but nothing to be astonished by since this Killer Whale has killed before. He drowned a biology student in 1991. Also someone who broke into his cage and got in his tank was then found dead, naked and draped over his back in 1999. Why did they allow this whale to continue on doing shows knowing that it has killed two people already? Well, experts say these previous incidents were not attacks but misguided attempts by the docile whale to play. They also said they do not know what set the whale off, and do not know when the Orca show will resume. Until further notice the water park is closed until this weekend. The Killer Whale was said to be stressed, this was the reason they feel it attacked the trainer. How you feel about this? Until then.....

American Idol verse Olympics!


Knowing that we have the Olympics going on, and at the same time its competing with American Idol. Who will have the most viewers? I know there alot of dedicated hard core fans of American Idol but the Olympics only come on once a year. There is a 16 year old girl on American Idol now and I heard she is really good. Do you think a girl that is 16years old should be on there though? I feel like everyone deserves a chance to try something at least once. Even if there not good at it. I'm glad she has given herself a chance. That's what most of us wish we could do, but never have enough guts to do so or go through with it. As for the Olympics medal count. US is in the lead with 7 gold 9 silver and 10 bronze medals. Right behind it is Germany for a tie of 7 gold 9 silver and 7 bronze medals. As for Austria, well they won the Nordic Combined team competition on Tuesday, with the United States finishing second and Germany claiming bronze. Which brings Austria's total to 4 gold medals. Everyone is doing terrific this year. We look forward to how next year will be. What do you think? I would love to know what you all watched tonight? Until then...

Here is the link with all the stats on the Olympics.

Is Adam Lambert Really Gay??



I know there is alot of Adam Lambert fans out there. I thought you would find this post interesting. For those of you who don't know who he is.. He was the runner up on 'American Idol' Hes a very talented singer. We know that Adam Lambert is openly gay, but after all that controversy about his sexuality, he wants everyone to know that the labels mean nothing to him.

He revealed to the Long Island radio station WBLI's BLI in the Morning, that he recently shared a steamy kiss with singer Ke$ha, "She's really pretty and we were laughing and just started kissing, It was pretty innocent to be honest with you. I mean, it wasn't too dirty." he said on air. He also recently told the London paper 'The Times': "I like making out with girls from time to time. I have this curiosity at the back of my mind. I've never had sex with a woman and I’m a little bit curious about it.”

According to Lambert, the "Ke$ha" singer is a "great" kisser and that he is not averse to kissing other women, if they give off the right "energy." Except we know that he has been in controversial waters before. When he performed the song "For Your Entertainment" during the AMAs in November of last year, he open mouth kissed a male keyboardist live on ABC. The network then axed his appearance on "Good Morning America" So do you think he is really gay? Or just trying to stand out as different? I have never heard of a man experimenting with women if they are gay, usually they will have had sex with a women and then decide if they like it or not? Right...? Let me know your thoughts! What do you think about this? Until then....

Women Kills Man After He Won The Lottery


A Florida woman has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of a lottery millionaire whose body was found buried under fresh concrete, Friday night.
Dorice Donegan Moore, 37, was arrested last week on charges of accessory after the fact regarding a first-degree murder in the death of Abraham Shakespeare, 43. Whom she befriended after he won $31 million dollars as a lottery prize in Florida in 2006. She was named a person of interest in the case after his disappearance. Before she was arrested she proclaimed her innocence during a tearful, impromptu news conference outside her home. She said she "was planning to help Shakespeare write a book about the challenges of winning millions and that she was helping him manage the money. Abraham had a life of drama because of the money, The money was like a curse to him. And now it has become a curse to me."

Police say she tried to find someone she could pay to take the rap for the death of Shakespeare and someone to move his body. At the same time, she was also taking steps to make it appear that the victim was still alive, She has been charged as an accessory and first-degree murder. No one else has been charged so far, But that could change. How sad this story is! What do you think about this? Until then...

Tiger Woods Speaks Out


Tiger had his press conference today. Let everyone know how sorry he was for his actions lately. Of how selfish and irresponsible he has been. He did not give a date for his return to professional golf. Or take any questions as I mentioned before in one of my blogs. He only spoke for 15 minutes from a prepared script in front of an audience he picked out. Sadly his wife was not there to support him. His mother on the other hand was. Along with Tiger's alleged mistress/porn star, She believes he should have publicly apologized to her by name today during the conference as well. Tiger said "Starting tomorrow, I will leave for more treatment and more therapy." About the paparazzi: "Leave my wife and kids alone. I have never used performance enhancing drugs, and Elin didn't hit me that night or any other night... she deserves praise, not blame". He also apologized to the all the people who work for him and his foundation. After the conference was over with he hugged his mom, then went down the line hugging each person in attendance.


Here is the link for the video of his conference meeting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsqCdMMY6tY

here is the full transcript.
Good morning, and thank you for joining me. Many of you in this room are my friends. Many of you in this room know me. Many of you have cheered for me or you've worked with me or you've supported me.

Now every one of you has good reason to be critical of me. I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in.

I know people want to find out how I could be so selfish and so foolish. People want to know how I could have done these things to my wife Elin and to my children. And while I have always tried to be a private person, there are some things I want to say.

Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words; it will come from my behavior over time. We have a lot to discuss; however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us.

I am also aware of the pain my behavior has caused to those of you in this room. I have let you down, and I have let down my fans. For many of you, especially my friends, my behavior has been a personal disappointment. To those of you who work for me, I have let you down personally and professionally. My behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners.

To everyone involved in my foundation, including my staff, board of directors, sponsors, and most importantly, the young students we reach, our work is more important than ever. Thirteen years ago, my dad and I envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. This work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California to the Earl Woods scholars in Washington, D.C., millions of kids have changed their lives, and I am dedicated to making sure that continues.

But still, I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you. I have made you question who I am and how I could have done the things I did. I am embarrassed that I have put you in this position.

For all that I have done, I am so sorry.

I have a lot to atone for, but there is one issue I really want to discuss. Some people have speculated that Elin somehow hurt or attacked me on Thanksgiving night. It angers me that people would fabricate a story like that. Elin never hit me that night or any other night. There has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage, ever. Elin has shown enormous grace and poise throughout this ordeal. Elin deserves praise, not blame.

The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable, and I am the only person to blame.

I stopped living by the core values that I was taught to believe in. I knew my actions were wrong, but I convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply. I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself. I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.

I was wrong. I was foolish. I don't get to play by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me. I brought this shame on myself. I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, my friends, my foundation, and kids all around the world who admired me.

I've had a lot of time to think about what I've done. My failures have made me look at myself in a way I never wanted to before. It's now up to me to make amends, and that starts by never repeating the mistakes I've made. It's up to me to start living a life of integrity.

I once heard, and I believe it's true, it's not what you achieve in life that matters; it's what you overcome. Achievements on the golf course are only part of setting an example. Character and decency are what really count.

Parents used to point to me as a role model for their kids. I owe all those families a special apology. I want to say to them that I am truly sorry.

It's hard to admit that I need help, but I do. For 45 days from the end of December to early February, I was in inpatient therapy receiving guidance for the issues I'm facing. I have a long way to go. But I've taken my first steps in the right direction.

As I proceed, I understand people have questions. I understand the press wants to ask me for the details and the times I was unfaithful. I understand people want to know whether Elin and I will remain together. Please know that as far as I'm concerned, every one of these questions and answers is a matter between Elin and me. These are issues between a husband and a wife.

Some people have made up things that never happened. They said I used performance-enhancing drugs. This is completely and utterly false. Some have written things about my family. Despite the damage I have done, I still believe it is right to shield my family from the public spotlight. They did not do these things; I did.

I have always tried to maintain a private space for my wife and children. They have been kept separate from my sponsors, my commercial endorsements. When my children were born, we only released photographs so that the paparazzi could not chase them. However, my behavior doesn't make it right for the media to follow my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter to school and report the school's location. They staked out my wife and they pursued my mom. Whatever my wrongdoings, for the sake of my family, please leave my wife and kids alone.

I recognize I have brought this on myself, and I know above all I am the one who needs to change. I owe it to my family to become a better person. I owe it to those closest to me to become a better man. That's where my focus will be.

I have a lot of work to do, and I intend to dedicate myself to doing it. Part of following this path for me is Buddhism, which my mother taught me at a young age. People probably don't realize it, but I was raised a Buddhist, and I actively practiced my faith from childhood until I drifted away from it in recent years. Buddhism teaches that a craving for things outside ourselves causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. It teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. Obviously I lost track of what I was taught.

As I move forward, I will continue to receive help because I've learned that's how people really do change. Starting tomorrow, I will leave for more treatment and more therapy. I would like to thank my friends at Accenture and the players in the field this week for understanding why I'm making these remarks today.

In therapy I've learned the importance of looking at my spiritual life and keeping in balance with my professional life. I need to regain my balance and be centered so I can save the things that are most important to me, my marriage and my children.

That also means relying on others for help. I've learned to seek support from my peers in therapy, and I hope someday to return that support to others who are seeking help. I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don't know when that day will be.

I don't rule out that it will be this year. When I do return, I need to make my behavior more respectful of the game. In recent weeks I have received many thousands of e-mails, letters and phone calls from people expressing good wishes. To everyone who has reached out to me and my family, thank you. Your encouragement means the world to Elin and me.

I want to thank the PGA TOUR, Commissioner Finchem, and the players for their patience and understanding while I work on my private life. I look forward to seeing my fellow players on the course.

Finally, there are many people in this room, and there are many people at home who believed in me. Today I want to ask for your help. I ask you to find room in your heart to one day believe in me again.

Thank you.

Man Crashes Into Building With Plane!



A disgruntled man crashed a small plane into a federal building housing U.S. tax offices in Austin, Texas today. Does the federal officials think this was deliberate? Yes they do. The incident renewed fears of domestic terrorism and gaps in security for private aircraft. This crash and the burned out building brought back memories of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon outside Washington. CNN reported the pilot had set his own house on fire before taking off in the plane and crashing it into the building at about 10 a.m. CST (1600 GMT). The plane, took off from, Georgetown Municipal Airport approximately 30 miles north, and was flying under rules that did not require the pilot to maintain contact with air controllers. He also left a suicide note stating that he had moved here to Austin, TX from CA. He also complained in the note that he ran afoul of U.S. tax laws when he failed to file a return after not earning any income one year, and that he had trouble resolving some undocumented income he had. According to a pilot witness the plane was traveling at full throttle and a high rate of speed at time of impact, but before the plane hit the buildings second floor it apparently hit a Lexus on the frontage road. The driver of the Lexus is OK. Do you think this was deliberate?? I do.


In a separate incident the same day, a United Airlines flight from Denver to San Francisco was diverted to Salt Lake City because of a threatening note found aboard, according to local airport officials. The passengers and luggage were being rechecked while the plane was also examined. Do you think we are still safe flying? Are these things going to happen more and more?

Tiger Opens Up to Apologize


Breaking News! Tiger Woods will hold a news conference at the PGA Tour Headquarters Friday at 11am EST in Florida. He will be speaking publicly for the first time since this all began. Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future and he plans to apologize for his behavior," Steinberg told the Bloomberg News. There will be no questions allowed at the press conference. He has been in hiding, in part at a Mississippi clinic for sex addiction, according to published reports.

I feel like we all make mistakes, of course some are bigger then others, but we all have our bad times. With Tigers mistakes, I feel like he has to deal with those in his own way and doesn't owe anything to the media to tell them about it. I think he should fix things at home first. Then figure out how to make things right with his golfing career. I know this has come as a surprise to everyone at the very start, how this guy could have cheated on his wife. Knowing how many things he has going for him and all his endorsements? I think that considering my last blog that there will always be men around to cheat on there wives as much as I hate to say that, and not all of them will make the news. So why should this one be any different? What do you think? Let me know! Until then...

Why Men Cheat, How to find out if they are!


Dr. Oz gives scientific reasons as to why men cheat! Scientists in Sweden recently discovered about 40% of men have a specific gene that makes them twice as likely to have a troubled marriage as men without it. The gene in question affects the way men produce an attachment hormone called vasopressin.

Other researchers put more stock in the psychological motivations for seeking sex outside marriage. In a recent survey, most men who cheat claim they aren't just looking for a sexual conquest. In fact, 92% of them said that they were sexually satisfied at home and 88% said the person with whom they were cheating was not more attractive than their wife. Surprisingly, more than 90% said the main reason they stray is because they don’t feel appreciated by their spouse.

Another surprising finding of the study was that 77% of cheating men had best friends who cheated, compared to less than half of the faithful men, suggesting that there is a pack mentality when it comes to monogamy. I was pretty surprised to read this! I cant seem to grasp the fact that we are trying to give men a reason as to why they can cheat? What do you think about this?? Until then.....

Here are 5 Signs to know if your man is cheating

1. Having less sex than usual
2. Avoiding contact with you
3. Criticizing you more
4. Starting fights
5. Away from home more

The NEW Microsoft Windows 7 Phone


Now there is competition for Apple. The new Microsoft Windows 7 phone has emerged. Coming out this Christmas. Could this put Apple out of being number 1 for a phone? I don't think so. Its all about Apple's strength: They have the whole package, not just the iPhone itself. And that's where MS usually fails (same story with iPod vs. Zune) The primary difference between the two is with the MS7 I can go to John Smith first in my contacts and I also immediately see all of his updates/emails/photos tagged J.Smith. Which this is more of an advancement in application integration. Which is a huge deal. If you want to get to your content, it's right there. No scrolling through multiple menu interfaces.

I don't really care for a Samsung or LG due to there hardware issues. There a huge problem. I know some of you would agree with this, if you have had one in the past. Most MS phones aren't that great either, so even if the MS 7 is awesome, what will they get a decent hardware platform for it? I would hope so. It doesn't need to just look good, but also perform the right way to.

I found this information online when I was browsing about the MS 7, this came up with the features of the new MS 7 Phone which includes six hubs built on specific themes reflecting activities that matter most to people:

*People. This hub delivers an engaging social experience by bringing together relevant content based on the person, including his or her live feeds from social networks and photos. It also provides a central place from which to post updates to Facebook and Windows Live in one step.

* Pictures. This hub makes it easy to share pictures and video to a social network in one step. Windows Phone 7 Series also brings together a user's photos by integrating with the Web and PC, making the phone the ideal place to view a person's entire picture and video collection.

* Games. This hub delivers the first and only official Xbox LIVE experience on a phone, including Xbox LIVE games, Spotlight feed and the ability to see a gamers avatar, Achievements and gamer profile. With more than 23 million active members around the world, Xbox LIVE unlocks a world of friends, games and entertainment on Xbox 360, and now also on Windows Phone 7 Series.

* Music + Video. This hub creates an incredible media experience that brings the best of Zune, including content from a user's PC, online music services and even a built-in FM radio into one simple place that is all about music and video. Users can turn their media experience into a social one with Zune Social on a PC and share their media recommendations with like-minded music lovers. The playback experience is rich and easy to navigate, and immerses the listener in the content.

* Marketplace. This hub allows the user to easily discover and load the phone with certified applications and games.

* Office. This hub brings the familiar experience of the world's leading productivity software to the Windows Phone. With access to Office, OneNote and SharePoint Workspace all in one place, users can easily read, edit and share documents. With the additional power of Outlook Mobile, users stay productive and up to date while on the go.

After reading all of this information about it. Would you be one to switch to the new MS 7 or stick with Apple? I would like to hear your thoughts on this. I have also included the link to where you can view the full replay of Steve Ballmer's press conference at Mobile World Congress, and to experience Windows Phone 7 Series through an online product demo,

Record Snow Fall !!


I am here visiting my family in Denton, TX. The day before I arrived, they had a record snow fall of 14 inches! This has never happened before. In Dallas-Fort Worth at the International Airport in Texas they had a recorded of 12.5 inches (32 centimeters) of snow, breaking the previous mark of 12.1 inches set in January 1964. Which left more than 180,000 electric customers in the dark, and canceled 1,500 flights across the U.S. South. Which means everyone in the states has had there share of snow now. ha ha! I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for the warm weather and having more daylight. How do you feel? Until then....

Man dies in training the day before the Olympics!



I was thinking about the Olympics, knowing how sad it would be to work your whole life up to this point(Not that its a bad thing of course). All the time you spent. All the family gatherings you missed, because you wanted to live up to your dream. Never knowing that the day before it started, you wouldn't live to see it. It was extremely sad to hear of Nodar Kumaritashvili, a Georgian luge competitor at the Vancouver Olympics, who crashed during a training run the day before the Olympics started. It was a sincere tragedy. Knowing he would never be able to fulfill his life long dream. Farewell to him and our thoughts are with the family...

Here is the link to see photos and a video of how it went down...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/12/n...s_n_460474.html

As for the introduction for the Olympics. I thought the lighting and the design of the whole thing was pretty cool. Although, there were a couple scenes that I thought were horrible in it as well. I thought it was different to have alot of bisexual people in it. I know Canada is very open to this of course. Along with weed/drugs being allowed in Vancouver.I didn't think the whole lighting of the torch was well prepared either. It had a malfunction right in the middle of it.. seriously people!? The one part I did think was cool was where they had actually made it look like there where whales swimming on the floor! The graphics of this were awesome! That's my thoughts on this. I would love to hear yours as well. Until then...

Lady Gaga has a penis!!




Ok, so I know there is alot of 'Lady Gaga' fans out there. Which is awesome! I have to tell you though I was shocked when I saw this video? It may have changed my views about what I think of 'Lady Gaga'. This is the reason why I thought her fans should know the truth. Did you know that 'Lady Gaga' has a male genital?? Well its true! 'Lady Gaga' is a hermaphrodite. The definition to that is: an individual in which reproductive organs of both sexes are present. Its crazy to think that she has man parts with that high pitch voice right? Yes, I thought so too. When I did some extra research, I found her quoting the fact after this video was taken she said "It's not something that I'm ashamed of, just isn't something that I go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female. It's just a little bit of a penis and really doesn't interfere much with my life." If you still are having doubts, please check this video out. Let me know how you feel about this!? Do you think she should have it removed?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i23qGLw3H_Y

The pictures listed should also give you more proof. In one she is grabbing her 'package'. The other shows her 'package crammed up, bulging out'. The middle picture shows she had a nose job done.

"What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas"







With the job that I work at, I travel alot. This last trip was completely different
then what i have done in the past. I went to Las Vegas the end of January for Affiliate Summit. I honestly didn't think it would be any fun. Just work, is how I viewed it. Well.. like always I was wrong! It was an awesome place to go, parties, shows, shopping..etc. You sit near a table gambling and you get free drinks where if you buy them on your own then you pay nearly 12-15$ for one drink. For those of you who have never been, you can walk through all the hotels from one end of the strip all the way down to the other end and almost never have to walk outside! Of course there is gambling machines, and tables for Black Jack or any other game played on a table through out every hotel on the ground level. Clubs to party at all night long. Shopping as I mentioned earlier. There are cool sites to see. Awesome rides on the stratosphere. I was amazed what hotels had inside to offer while you are gambling. There are dolphin and lion habitats. Aquariums behind the station where you check into your room. Volcano eruptions outside to attract people to there hotel. They have pirate shows on the outside of Treasure Island hotel. They have the water fountain show. Which is awesome to watch. So there is a lot more there to offer then what I thought there was going to be. Something for everyone. Of course though I don't think I would ever take children there, but then again everyone different. Do you think Las Vegas would have this much to offer if you had never been? I definitely say that I would go back again. This time bring more friends and party all night! Have you ever been to Las Vegas, if so I want to hear what you did while you were there?!

IS IT ONLY US??


We have had the worst weather coming in lately to Oklahoma. We have had two huge snow storms come through! Just when you think you love the snow, being that every thing closes.. aka (work). Then it happens again, and AGAIN. Now I'm to the point where I would rather be at work and have my weekend to go out then be stuck at home watching it snow. It is snowing right now like a blizzard. Hasn't stopped yet. We had a snow storm come in and it was so bad, i believe it was in 2007. It was so bad power was out through Oklahoma for weeks! I guess I can be glad that It hasn't been that bad ... YET. This will be our third snow storm this year. They are predicting 4 inches this time. Oklahoma weather is usually not this bad. Like I said earlier we haven't had any snow storm this bad since 2007. The picture that I posted on here is of ice sickles hanging from a house. I think those have to be the longest I have ever seen! This got me thinking. Is there anyone out there that has had a snow storm this bad? If so, Tell me about it.

Man Gets Away With Assault With A Deadly Weapon!


Most of you have seen the show 'Operation Repo.' About repossessing cars, trucks, boats, four-wheelers.. etc. If your not making payments they will repossess it! During there shows they have instances where there repo doesn't go according to plan. They end up in a fight or people standing on the vehicle. It amazes me over what people will do just to keep there car. Faking pregnancies. Taking a crane and demolishing the car with it! Causing them to go to jail just to mess the car up to get back at them! You may think that some of there show are staged. Due to the fact that they are very dramatic and some of the things happen you think you would never see in 'real' life. That leads me into my story..

I was sitting in my apartment watching TV, when I heard a LOUD banging noisy. I heard it one more time before I decided to get up and see what it was. I looked out the window and saw there was a repo truck trying to hook up a hummer. With two other men outside the truck guiding him to hook up. The man saw his hummer getting attached from a window. He came outside, got in it. Put it in reverse and hit the gas! Slammed into the truck a total of 5 TIMES!!! Nearly hitting one of the guys, if he had not jumped out of the way. The hummer lost his back windshield and wrecked the whole back end it. As for the repo truck well it was destroyed. Pieces were falling off and it was totaled. They had to have a tow truck come and take it away. The man hit the truck so hard it hit other cars behind it. Sadly, after it was over with the man got away with his hummer. The police came and took a report down. Said that it was assault with a deadly weapon, and soon they would have a warrant out for his arrest. So can we really say that all those episodes are really staged? Well as for me I know they really happen! I have seen it personally. Has anything like this ever happened to you? Let me know!! Until then.....

Last night some friends and I went out to The Conservatory to watch some of our OKC bands repesent! They were really good, and deftinitly put on good show. We got to meet and talk with them after. The Conservatory is a pretty small gheto place. Holds top, maybe 65-70 people.. being gernerous. Has a couch, bar and a pit. Nothing more. As they got off the stage they would take there equiptment off with them. They had to do everything thereselves. Different then what im use too. Being that this was my first time to something like this so small. It was cool for a change. It was over around 10pm.

The bands that played was 'Young American'- 'Head Over Hills'-'Dang We're On Fire'- 'Hold Em High- 'Cutthroat Crusade'

Enter Shikari's BIG NEWS!


I know not many people have heard of the band Enter Shikari. They are a screamo rock band from London. Great music, cool beats. I met them when they came to Tulsa, OK. Super nice guys, signed some shirts for me and I got a picture taken with the lead singer. This may seem crazy, but I liked them so much I need my dog after them. :)

Did you know however, That the drummer Rob Rolfe was arrested? It was because of all kinds of drugs,but he has a girlfriend now and has stopped, but due to his criminal record (drug related) he cant get into United States. That is the reason as to why we have not seen him on any US tours. He has been denied his American Visa. Which means he will not even be allowed to enter the country even on holiday (vacation). He will be re-applying for the visa in the summer after they have built up a case to show that he is a good citizen and not a threat to national security. If you have seen the band perform in the 2009 tour in the US, it was his good friend 'Noddy' who stepped in to take over the drummer position. He's really good live. He plays for the band called 'Fell Silent'. Also great music. If you haven't heard of them, please go check them out. There really good!

As for the band Enter Shikari, they have recently announced that they have finished recording a new album. Their last album put out was Entitled 'Common Dreads'. It is already released. If you haven't heard any of there songs by now, check the link out to listen to one of them. What does everyone think about this album?
Here is a link to one of there songs! http://popup.lala.com/popup/432627049759123544

Fall Out Boy BROKEN UP??



Not sure how many people have heard this or not, but supposedly Fall Out Boy has broken up! Do you think they have fallen out for good?? Well Pete Wintz says "Fall Out Boy is not broken up, just 'decompressing'. We're not calling it quits, but [we've got] no future album plans right now... We can't quit, we're waiting to get fired." Do you think its because Pete is to involved with his son and wife Ashlee Simpson to remember his fans? Pete also said that "there is a possibility that Fall Out Boy will play again, with or with out me." Would you be upset if there was no Pete Wintz in Fall Out Boy anymore? We (being fans) also have been told that Pete is now looking for a job...

Fall Out Boy has had many great hits, good memories to go along with them! I will be sad to see them go. No doubt alot of us will... Until then.....

Does the Airlines really tell us everything?

You may be surprised of how many acts of terrorism do not make the headline news.

For instance there was a man who brought a large firecracker like device onto Piedmont Airlines flight 4126. It was a flight from Baltimore to New York. The plane arrived on Sunday at 7:30 pm at the LaGuardia Airport. The device was described as a 4 inch long, three quarter inch wide explosive pyrotechnic. Which was wedged between two seats. It was found by a man cleaning the airplane after being unloaded. Why was this device not found by the security? Why was it not detected? Was this a coincidence that this happened out of the same airport as the terrorist attack on September 11th? ...

The suspect said he had extremist ties and that the device had instructions as to when it was supposed to be used! Should we worry about these small things that happen, that we DO NOT hear about on the news or read about in the newspaper that could threaten our lives?? Let me know what you think... Until then....

OKC THUNDER


How many people out there have heard of the OKC THUNDER?? I must be honest when Thunder first came to OKC I thought it was cool but the name was horrible. I thought the colors were even worse... Now that I've been going to some of their games, I think it actually fits. They have an awesome intro! Thunder sounds, cool lighting features and fire flames even smoke! It was pretty cool.
They had an awesome game tonight. Played Atlanta Hawks and scored 99-106 Thunder . We had guest singers at half time. Baby Bash and Meant 2 B. It was a good show. We also had Xzibit there watching on the court side of course ;) cheering us on all the way to the win! So who says Oklahoma cant bring it? Who says Oklahoma doesn't have anything going on? Well THEY WERE WRONG.... we bring it! So what do you think of Oklahoma, has anyone ever been? Until then......

Did It Hurt Jason Mraz's Label?



Has anyone ever met Jason Mraz? I was able to get tickets to the show a few months back. I actually got the chance to meet him in person. He was pretty cool. I thought for being famous he would shun us back some what, but he was open to hang out with his fans, take pictures and do autographs as well. When we were standing out side waiting for him there was a girl who came to the show for her B-day, She was being a total jerk to everyone and pushing people out of her way.. even little kids I might add! When Jason Mraz came around and started talking to everyone, she was interrupting him and saying like how everyone needed to move it was HER B-day and she wanted to get his picture and his autograph on the back of her shirt. Instead of waiting on him to go down the line of people.. she pushed and got her way to him, So he signed the back of her shirt and put Happy B-Day BI$%@ and like underlined it the whole way down. I have to say I think I respect him even more. It was a great concert. Do you think its cool for PopStars to be there own person and do things like this or is it something we feel is our role model for the younger generation and could cause problems with there label? Let me know what you think? Until then.....

Check out some of his songs!
