Money, Cars, and Coffee

Ah money. What a wonderful/horrible thing. Ah cars. Such a great way to get from point A to point B. Ah coffee. What a great way to start your morning. Why does it matter about any of those? Well Chrysler is most likely going to go bankrupt and from my guess Starbucks is too. Chryslers tried to win over the current debt holders of their company in hope to save it. In sad news, this failed. This is bad because this means almost certain bankruptcy. Horrible right? Maybe not for you all you foreign car drivers. But for the people who like Americas and American companies, should buy an AMERICAN car. That's just my thinking though. Also, Starbucks profit fell a big 77%. Not good... because without coffee from Starbucks, the world is going to end for all those college students! Personally I don't think coffee is all that good. Its water with some beans, sugar, cream, etc. It's nasty. Well after reading this I hope I informed you on buying AMERICAN!!!!! and that with your help college kids lives won't end so soon. You can change the world, buy buying an AMERICAN car or buying coffee. Change the world, and help out the people around you. Like Chrysler, GM, Ford, Starbucks, etc.

Thanks!

SWINE FLU!!!!!

Do you watch, listen, or contribute to todays news? If you answered yes to any of those, you have probably heard of the swine flu. Are you scared of it? Do you know what it is? Did you know that the media is creating an epademic and trying to scare you? Did you know that it's working? Yes... I know... Swine Flu is bad. Although we have this outbreak, not many people have died from it here in the U.S.A. In Mexico, yes. Many have died from it there. It is a freaky thing. I remembered when I first time I heard of the Bird Flu. I was freaked out. The news stopped talking about it so i forgot... and moved on. That's what you should do if you're scared. Before the news started reporting on it, some people would have never heard of it and wouldn't have been scared. So go back to your happy place... back in March maybe... when you didn't hear jack about the swine flu. It's a happy place! So go back there... and move on... and get calm... and don't catch the swine flu. If you do catch it or already have it my prayers are with you. Also visit CDC. They have the stuff on Swine Flu like how to avoid it and all that good stuff.

Thanks!

Obama vs. Bush Administration Lawyers

My best friend sent me the contents of an e-mail. It talks on what Obama is trying to do. Just read on. The e-mail stated, "Waterboarding- dumping water on top of a prisoners head causing uncomfort but not anything perminent. Used to get information from captured terrorists and to train AMERICAN soldiers! Not a form of torture! Obama looked at documents stating that laywers from the bush administration gave their opinion that waterboarding was not torture and the document proved that by using waterboarding on terrorists that contributed to 9-11 they found information that terrorists were planning an attack on california. By using tis information they stopped an attack on California that saved 10s of thousands of American lives. What obama and the democratic media everyone was that the bush administration condoned torturing terrorists. Now obama is trying to prosecute lawyers from the bush administration even though they won't be punished because they didn't break any law. All the lawyers did was state their opinion! Also there is no law against waterboarding because any smart person would know that it's not torture! Obama knew that if he only said the bush administration condoned torture and not the other parts of that document that most of America wouldn't dig any deeper and side with him, even though he lied and didn't seek the whole truth. What he's really trying to do is prosecute the people that saved over 10,000 lives in California!" Amazing right? Although it may be cruel, its effective. Would you rather have those people die? I wouldn't.... but that's just me.

Thanks for reading and thanks Bradley for sending me that e-mail!

Thank You Woopra, Entre Card, and YOU!

I signed up for an account on a website named Woopra. This let's anyone see how many visitors are comming to your website, blog, etc. I submited my blog to them and then they approved it. I used the code that they gave me and thanks to blogger they let me use it as a third party application. When I started my blog I didn't have many visitors except for friends from my city. I looked on Woopra for the past couple weeks and was suprised to find people from Houston Texas, New York City New York, and other places like that. I was ultimately suprised today when I looked and found someone that visited my blog from Czech Republic... Even if this person just visited for 5 seconds..... HE'S/SHE'S FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY! Woopra doesn't promote websites it just says who's visiting but come on....they're doing one great job. I also have to thank Entre Card even though I don't know if they are doing anything for me.... Thank you anyone that comes and reads this. Thank you anyone that has found me via Twitter, Google, Blogger, etc. I just want to thank you all...so thanks. Thanks a million!

You guys rock!

Re-Creating The Horror Of The Iraq War

A video game company named Atomic Games is re-creating the horror of the Iraq War by making a, you guessed it, video game about the second battle of Fallujah. The games name is Six Days In Fallujah. The game takes place in 2004 when 10,000 U.S. troops stormed the city of Fallujah, which had been held by al-Qaeda. The military is beleived to have caused 6,000 iraqi civilian deaths. This game sounds very interesting doesn't it? What makes this game unique is that most war games deal around problems that have been solved while this game deals with a war that is still going on. I hope to see what this game will be like when it is finally released. Let's hope it lives up to a good war title by providing us with a good game. For more info you can head over to Atomic Games website.

Thanks!

Like the Vista look but not the actual OS?

I personally like the look of vista. It has a nice up to date look and feel to it. I have tried to find a way to get my PC to have the look without changing the OS. I found a theme for XP that looks like vista and runs very well. My laptop has little RAM. If you don't know what RAM is, it's the thing on your computer that lets you run programs smootly. Anyway, I had downloaded Windows Blinds free trial off of download.com. Windows Blinds is nice if you have lots of RAM. I personally tried to use Aero which is a theme that is partially transparent. It is cool but it worked bad. Anyway, I found a site called crystalxp.net that let me get a Vista theme that I was AMAZED didn't slow down my PC. It totally re-designs it to look like Vista. At the moment it is only available in black; but that's still cool right? Anyway, try it out if you wanna. If you want the free trial of Windows Blinds click here. *NOTE* This is only a 30 day trial. If you like it, consider buying it for $19.95!

Thanks!

P.S. - That is my actual desktop now.

Away for a while...Because of computer issues. Sorry

Like YouTube? Ever want the videos?

Hey! Do you like YouTube? Did you ever want the videos off YouTube? If you answered yes to that last one, I have the program for you! It's called YouTube Downloader (Simple enough right?) All you need is the link to your favorite video on YouTube and this program! Copy your link and let it do the work for you. It also converts files! If you have a song on YouTube you want, but they don't have an MP3 for it, download the video and then find where you saved it, and convert! It's very simple! The downloader creates the files as .flv (or they do for me at least) If your to lazy to wait and convert, you can download VLC Media Player here. VLC can play pretty much every music, video file out there. You can also download YouTube Downloader here.

Thanks!
