On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, US, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10-million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit the Frog reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. With secret, signature, celebrity cameos, "The Muppets" hits the big screen November 23, 2011.
Accounts vary on the origins of this complex, and indeed, as to whether it was meant to be a hotel development or a housing development. Apparently, it was constructed in the 1960s and included/was to include a dam to protect it against sea surges, floors and stairs made of marble and a small amusement park. The site was commissioned by the government and local firms and there is no named architect. Local papers at the time reported that there were numerous accidents during construction which caused the death of some workers. As news of these accidents spread, no one wanted to go there, even to visit, and the project was subsequently abandoned. The ghosts of those who died in vain are said to still linger there, unremembered and unable to pass on. The complex was left in its unfinished state because no amount of redevelopment will bring people to the area due to superstitions about ghosts, and it can’t be demolished because destroying the homes of spirits and lost souls is taboo in Asian culture.

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of waking up to an "anonymous comment" on my blog. I don't mind anonymous writers, I really don't. But when it's something like what he/she wrote, then that's a whole different story. It not only shows they're a coward for not revealing who they were, but they lack the courage to talk to me in a civilized manner.I was none too pleased and decided to leave them a comment of my own, and this what I had to say...When gays use the "when did you know you were straight" argument, it's silly..straight is the de-facto normal..if people weren't straight...there would be no people...
Also the "Some People are Gay Get over it" , well Some people don't like gays get over it..people dont have to like a behavior they find repulsive..gays like to compare their "struggle" to race, but a person skin color is not a behavior or a sexual act.
You say that being straight is normal, because without you there would be no people is almost laughable, if not the most foolish thing to think. As you know, billions of people around the world "believe in a GOD," and these same people know that there was no one who had sex to make Adam and Eve, God made them separately, they were "Born that way." Furthermore, when God banished Cain to another land, there were already other people there, you think they procreated too? Being straight is "not normal" You were born that way.
I hate to inform you of this, but yes, one can choose to be "straight." It doesn't mean they will be, but they can surely try. Being Heterosexual or Homosexual is something you cannot choose to be. I didn't wake up one morning when I was 2 or 3, and say... "oh I think I'll be gay today."
"IF" I had a choice, do you really think I'd want to choose the one where it would condemn me the most? Do you think I'd want to choose the one where people would make fun of me, spit on me, and call me names? No, I wouldn't choose that for myself.
Gay is not a behavior, it is who we are. The act of having sex is a behavior, and we don't have to like your sexual acts, just as much as you don't have to like ours.
You can "choose" to hate or love. I chose to love everyone, because this is how God created us. I have known I was gay since a child - I had two parents who loved me unconditionally. My father taught me how to take an engine out of a car, farm thousands of acres of land, and took me fishing. And a mother who made sure that when I left their home, I knew how to take care of myself by teaching me how to cook, wash my clothes, and fix my bed. They were a good Christian couple who took us to church every Wednesday and Sunday, and I'm sure they wish I had turned out differently, But I didn't. They didn't do anything wrong, I've always known, they've always known. You think my parents would want their child to be made fun of? Hell no. If they or I could choose we would.
I am what God made me to be.
Late one night, a mysterious car is brought into the Chicago police impound garage after a deadly traffic accident. The on-call mechanics soon discover the car has a mind of its own. With hundreds of horsepower and two tons of reinforced steel at its command, it's a seemingly unstoppable killing machine capable of outrunning — and outwitting — humans.
In what is so reminiscent of The Walking Dead from TNT, this live-action CGI short film is from the Media Design School's Graduate Diploma of Advanced 3D Productions in New Zealand. The short, titled "Rotting Hill," was produced in 12 weeks and features 22 digital effects shots. I must warn you, if you have an easy stomach don't watch it. The effects are so darn good, it's almost real. I was watching this covering my mouth at times.
I worry about people sometimes; Really, I do. Sometimes I worry about them so much, I think they lack the intellect to hold a smart conversation. Keep in mind, this is only certain people. As most of my readers know, I have loved politics for as long as I can remember. Hell, I even held a mock election when I was in college, and everyone in the dormitory had fun participating in it. Well, almost everyone. haha, It was fun nonetheless.
On the way home from work on Tuesday, I had the pleasure of listening to Randi Rhodes. If you've never heard of her, you should. She is one of the smartest women I know. She tells it like it is, and doesn't hold back. I've learned a lot from her, and you could too. In either case, she had a caller on Tuesday who, I swear, was the dumbest person I had ever heard. Not only was he a bigot, but he had this fascination that Bush was the greatest President this country had ever had. Really. No, Really. |

War of the Roses (Roula & Ryan's Roses) is back for another week, and this week's call is a little different than the last. 
Roula and Ryan warned her that if Scott ended up sending the roses to her, instead of someone else, Ryan would still come on the radio, and tell him what's going on. She agreed, and this is how the war raged on... |

Videographer, Ron Gabriel couldn't have stated it any better. Towards the end of the video below, he also states that, "There are 12,370 intersections in NYC, 74% of crashes happen in intersections, and 4 people are killed or seriously injured every day.""By summer 2010, the expansion of bike lanes in NYC exposed a clash of long-standing bad habits — such as pedestrians jaywalking, cyclists running red lights, and motorists plowing through crosswalks. By focusing on one intersection as a case study, my video aims to show our interconnection and shared role in improving the safety and usability of our streets. The video is part of a larger campaign I created called '3-Way Street'."
"Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. (the problem being; alienation and depression. the symptoms; cutting and suicide). I personally don't know a single person who doesn't know at least two of these victims personally." - P!nk.She also goes on to explain,
"that, while the video may be considered shocking, it is intended to open people's eyes to these problems. In addition, P!nk believes the video is a message to everyone who needs help. Pink described the process of making the video as a “very emotional experience” and related the core theme of “Fuckin' Perfect” to her yet-to-be-born baby, saying, “I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms. And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well.” She also noted that she expects the video to “Ruffle some feathers,” meaning it would cause controversy."Get this through your f**kin heads people. You need to learn to accept your child for who, and what he is. If he acts a little girly, and likes to play with dolls, let him. If he walks or talks a little funny, who gives a shit. If he grows up loving sports, but you find out he only likes boys - big f**kn deal, He's f**kin perfect! He or she is your child through and through. No blood about it!
I could think of a million things to do with $400,000. I could take a trip around the world, buy a couple of cars, and pay off our mortgage. Hell, I'd probably still have plenty left over for a Big Mac. But acccording to the New York Post, Bill Warren, from California chooses to do something a bit more patriotic with his money, like search for Osama bin Laden in the Arabian Sea."I'm doing it because I am a patriotic American who wants to know the truth. I do it for the world," Warren told The Daily Post.
And even if Obama had released the images of bin Laden, would it have solved anything? No, because you idiots would have denied it was him. Then you would have found something else to bitch about. What a Hot Mess!
