Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me.

Facebook 101: Facebook via Adolf Hitler 1938

OMG, when I saw these, I couldn't keep myself from laughing!!!!  You have to see what Facebook would have been like during 1938, shortly before the start of WWII and 7 years before the end of Hitler's reign in 1945.  Germany, Japan, France, and the U.S. - All had Facebook!  It is rated NSFW do to some vulgar language.

Must Watch: Superman vs. The Hulk

I saw a video this morning on my Facebook newsfeed that blew me away.  I attribute this to Facebook friend, Sean Hodges for sharing it.  Thank you Sean. 
Since we're on the subject of Superheros.... you're going to love all three of these videos - Trust me, you will.  The artist is unbelievably talented, and I'd have to say a CGI genius.  I'm going to download the videos before DC and Marvel get a hold of his work.  You know there's always some type of legal ramification for this sort of thing.
How many of you have wanted to see two of the most powerful entities in the comic book universe square off in battle royale outside of the comic book pages? Since neither Marvel or DC Comics will cross their content streams in the world of movies–crossover comic stories don’t count; nor do video games–it’s up to the fans to provide what’s missing.
And that’s just what Michael Habjan did by bringing us installments of his “Superman vs Hulk: The Fight” series. There have been three of these installments of the fan-made series, with the latest one dropping earlier this week. Part one of the fight hit YouTube on June 11, 2011, and after over 4 million views, the incentive to continue with further “episodes” was obvious. It should be noted the series began with an introduction video before the fight episodes, acting almost as a trailer for the upcoming videos.

Note how Habjan made his Superman look like Christopher Reeve:


This led to the first episode of the fight, which dropped six months after the initial video, which gives you an idea about how long it takes Habjan to make these videos. Next up is the first installment of the Hulk/Superman throwdown:


For part two, Habjan concentrated on improving the look of the models he used for both Superman and the Hulk, and the results are noticeable:


Notice how it ends with something of a cliffhanger? Will the Hulk pound Superman into dust or will Kal-El be able to turn the tables and get the upper hand? Since Habjan has already indicated Part 3 will soon be available, it’s clear the fight between the two comic book power houses isn’t over. Not even close. As for the production and the credits, Habjan lists them over at video’s YouTube page, while acknowledging he’s not affiliated with either Marvel or DC. With that in mind, it’s a little surprising neither company has stepped in and issued a cease and desist request.
The credits, according to Habjan:
This is the second part to my ongoing animation project, a tribute project to Superman and The Incredible Hulk. As you’ll notice, the models and overall look has evolved and will continue to do so in future sequences. I’m already working on a new look for the Hulk on the next one. I got professional help this time in the music and sound design department, provided by the talented Francois Gratecap, which has made the whole project that much better. So my thanks to him.

Quoted - Writer, C. Joy Bell C. on Broken Families

There is no such thing as a "broken family." Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you. C. Joy Bell C. on Broken Families

Hungry for Cato or Alexander?

The movie, Hunger Games hasn't even hit theaters yet, and girls, and boys are swooning over this guy, really?  LOL.
Unbeknownst to you, Alexander Ludwig, the main attraction of the upcoming movie, had to put his rockstar dreams on hold, because he wasn't able to pull a Justin Bieber fast enough.  Who knew Cato could sing?  Actually he just released his track, "Liv It Up (Teenage Wasteland)" on Monday, March 6, 2012.

How To Sleep At Work - Take 2

Yesterday you found out how someone at Fed Ex sleeps on the job.  Today you'll find out how the folks at Fox News fall asleep on the job. LMAO.  It really is rather funny.

I'm assuming with some of the results coming in rather late on “Super Tuesday,” some of the reporters had to stay up a little past their bed times;  And today, they’re paying for it.

Solar Storm What Exactly?

Solar storm passes without incident so far

All week you had experts saying that satellites were going to be raining from the sky, no one would be able to talk on their cell phones, electronic devices would be going haywire, and planes would have to be re-routed.  Oh, they re-routed alright, but when the Solar Storm passed nothing happened.  I think these are the same people who do our weather forecasts here in Houston - they never get it right.

Personally, I think it's waiting for the end of the world in December.  What do you think?

Disney Prince of the Week 009

Over the last 9 weeks I have been posting a Disney Prince of the Week.  Can you guess the movie and the name of the character who played this week's Prince? 

While he's not technically a Prince in the movie, the artist considers him the girl counter-part of a Disney Animated movie.  Hence in the eyes of the artist, he's a Prince of Disney.

I Quote That - Two Wolves

Movies to Watch - Game Change [Premieres this Saturday on HBO]

"One of the most memorable moments of Election Night in 2008 came when Sarah Palin joined John McCain after his concession speech. As she walked onto the platform Palin looked visibly angry, not someone resigned to a loss but someone still ripe for a fight. Apparently the reality of the situation had yet to sink in and Palin was still in campaign (i.e. pit bull) mode. What prompted her anger was later revealed by political journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin in their best-seller "Game Change" and acts as the climax to the HBO movie based on the book that premieres this weekend. And, yes, she was pissed." [edge]

People who have already seen this movie are raving about it, but it doesn't come without the backlash from the folks on the right - the Reds.  To put it in simple terms, instead of people placing aside their political differences when watching this film, there's the pre-conceived notion that Hollywood was being biased in the making of this film.

Well, I kinda have to agree with that; Where's the first part of the book by Halperin and Heilemann?  You know - the part where Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were at each other's throats?  But place this aside for the moment, because we all know that a majority of the REDs would agree that Palin wasn't fit to handle the job.  And even more were weary of her becoming President if something would have happened to John McCain.  But going back to the book the film is based on - more than 300 people were interviewed who were involved in the McCain/Palin campaign, so it begs the question, how could it be false if all these people were involved in the campaign?

Watch the trailer, it's definitely is an award-winning film and makes for must-see-TV.  It's definitely something Ryan and I will be watching this Saturday night on HBO - 8PM Central

ARACHNOTOWN

I sure hope whoever lives in this small town of 8,000 people doesn't have Arachnophobia, because it looks pretty darn scary.  Did you get that?  If you have a fear of spiders do not view these photos.
A town in the southeastern part of Australia had to evacuate because of rising flood waters, but they're in for a big surprise when they all return.   After everything is said and done, they're coming back to their yards covered in webs and SPIDERS!  And lots of them.  Read the full story here, and check out the photos below.

Sincerely, Commando [NSFW]

It feels like I was just telling this story to a group of friends on Monday during dinner.  It was about a time when I was in college and living in the dormitory.  I can't even count how many times this happened to me, but while my laundry was drying, some bozo would go in and take it out when it wasn't even dry yet.  Boy did that piss me off, but what really did it for me was when my bath towels went missing.  All hell broke loose.  Have you ever had any of your clothes or towels gone missing while in college?

This notice is NSFW, let me repeat... NSFW.  This means if you can't handle vulgar language - don't read it, because this girl is really PO'd.  And I don't blame her one bit.

Last Night KARA Stunned a Nation and The World

As you all know I'm not big on gaming.  It never was a hobby, nor was it ever entertaining for me. The most I've ever had fun playing growing up was Pac-Man or Duck Hunt. LOL.  But this has got to be the best gaming trailer I have ever seen to date, and I have seen many.

Quantic Dream, the maker of this amazing piece of work released the following video last night as you were probably sleeping. LOL. I didn't even know about it, until I saw it in my inbox from Ryan (my partner) this morning.
The company has been hush, hush ever since their successful game, Heavy Rain was released, and gamers everywhere have been curious to know what they've been up to.  And OMG, even though this is just a tech demo, it clearly shows that this company has the ability to create something so stunning and emotionally riveting at the same time.  The video was only meant to show off the company's technological advancement, but now everyone is hoping they would consider making this into a game.  

KARA has truly touched my heart, and now, millions more. View it here...

WTF Has Obama Done? - Issue No. 023 - Government Efficiency

What is government efficiency?  Well it's doing your best by finding success in reducing government operating costs when you get elected into office.  And President Barack Obama has done just that by managing to cut government expenses by the billions.  This can be done by simply using different software or hardware in different departments, reversing the Bush-era no-bid and single-bidder contracts in order to find the best contractor who can do the best work for the least amount of money, and so forth.
Today I will introduce you to a broad policy, a specific cut, and a targeted action by this President and his administration.  By providing these open government efforts it helps keep spending under control, and this is what we want in a President.

WTF-67
Established the President’s Management Advisory Board.
The President's Management Advisory Board (PMAB) was formed to provide the President and agencies advice and recommendations on bringing insight from the private and non-profit sectors to Federal Government management and operations. Topics that the board will address include customer service, human capital, innovative technology, and procurement. [Read More]

The President's Management Advisory Board is a council of 17 corporate executives from leading American companies. Its purpose is to provide the administration of the executive branch advice and recommendations on effective strategies for the implementation of the best business practices on matters related to federal government's management and operations, with focus on productivity, the implementation of innovative methods, customer service, and technology.  The board will be chaired by former Sirius/XM Satellite Radio Director Jeffrey Zients as part of the General Services Administration of the Executive Office. As of July 2010, appointments to the board have not been announced. [Read More-1, Read More-2]

WTF-68
Cut salaries of senior White House aides.
President Barack Obama is extending a freeze on the pay of senior White House officials for another year and he’s spreading the freeze to top political appointees across the federal government, Obama aides said Tuesday night. 

Obama is expected to announce the freeze during his State of the Union address Wednesday, officials said. He will also extend a ban he imposed last year on paying bonuses to political appointees, according to White House aides. 

The president recognizes and we all recognize that the nation faces some really difficult choices,” an administration official who asked not to be named said. “Families are making tough choices, businesses are making tough choices. The president is simply asking political appointees who want to be part of government to be more careful and more responsible with taxpayers’ dollars.” [Read More-1, Read More-2]

WTF-69
Enhanced payment accuracy through a “Do Not Pay” list.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES

"My Administration is committed to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in Federal programs, including reducing and recapturing erroneous payments    a commitment I reinforced in Executive Order 13520 of November 20, 2009, and in a memorandum to the heads of executive departments and agencies (agencies) of March 10, 2010.  While identifying and recapturing improper payments is important, prevention of payment errors before they occur should be the first priority in protecting taxpayer resources from waste, fraud, and abuse.  In those cases where data available to agencies clearly shows that a potential recipient of a Federal payment is ineligible for it, subsequent payment to that recipient is unacceptable.  We must ensure that such payments are not made.

Agencies maintain many databases containing information on a recipient's eligibility to receive Federal benefits payments or Federal awards, such as grants and contracts.  By checking these databases before making payments or awards, agencies can identify ineligible recipients and prevent certain improper payments from being made in the first place." - Barack Obama  [Read More]
