So sometimes I post an entry before it is done and then work on it throughout the day. With facebook notes, it only keeps the first version of what I posted, hence the - in progress - notes on some of my past entries. That sucks. I guess I shouldn't do that then.
I saw Real Time with Bill Maher this weekend. I'm glad the show is back after its break. It was a nice change of pace to have 3 female guests. They seemed to be more respectful when disagreeing than men or when there is a mix. His discussion with Ron Paul was great and his idea to end the Drug War (to save all the tax money wasted). I recommend seeing Religulous when you get a chance. I'm a chapter in on the God Delusion by Dawkins. I hope it is interesting. I shouldn't have anything to be scared of if my faith is really that strong. Thinking and reason are gifts that should be thrown to the side.
Social Networking Websites Harm Children's Brains, Says Top Neuroscientist (via HuffPost) Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, an eminent scientist has warned. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans, encourage instant gratification and make young people more self-centred.
Every kid I know is addicted to Myspace and every college aged plus adult seems addicted to Facebook. This can't be good.
Did you know that the Average American Watching More TV Than Ever THE average American is now watching more TV than ever - more than 151 hours a month - according to the latest Nielsen research.
This seemed worth mentioning since I'm an American that watches TV. I worked my number out to be about 105 hours a month, but we both know I'm probably under counting. Did I do the math right...1hr RM show, .5 Daily Show, 2 hours (TV shows I follow) for 3.5 hours a day times 30 days. You have to assume I'm watching 3.5 hours on weekends as well (humm football season). Either way, it is way too much...coming from the guy who watched a whole season of a show this weekend.
the science of cute (via texan in the city) - cute video I think. I wish I found babies as cute. They just look fragile to me, like something I wouldn't want to break...oh and loud.
I feel like I want to do everything. I think I would be a great psychiatrist, but medical school at this point? Then I think, I'd be a great journalist. How about an FBI agent? A formidable chief of staff for a senator. A computer programmer, MMA fighter. A kick ass piano/guitar/drums player. A professional card player. An architect. All different routes I didn't take. So why not just be an awesome lawyer, well I'm working on it, but there are so many fields. I don't have problems making decisions, nor do I regret them usually, but what is hard for me is not being able to do everything. Then you throw in the bar I would want to own and I'm torn in so many different ways.
So why are manhole covers round? (my answer was the pragmatic one in Wikipedia: Manhole cover) Check out the list, I think it is good. Did you know that modern racing cars create so much vacuum due to their aerodynamics that they can lift a manhole cover off the ground?
Did you know laughing causes an ease of stress? I've had this argument many times, when people get angry that I may laugh right in the middle of a fight and they think I'm being smug or a jerk, but I'm really not. Goosebumps, Freckles, and Cracking Joints: 13 Body Quirks Explained (via HPost)
GOP Senator Connected To Prostitution Ring Calls For Burris Resignation
Pot, Kettle anyone? Wait, the kettle isn't paying for sex. Nice to hear the pot complaining about ethical shortcomings. (note: It is David Vitter btw from Louisiana)
Women Drivers...ok well Woman Parker.
I do admit I'm not the best parallel parker in the world, but over 3 mins to park with such a small car. It is almost out of a TV hidden camera show to see how patient the other people would be.
all the benefits, but none of the commitment...we may want that from others, but will not offer it
