I recently started a music blog for the heck of it and just wanted to let folks know about it. Check it out HERE

Thought this video was interesting. Just shows how technology changes the simple way that we do things within our world

Well aware that a lot has been said and written about in regards to Haiti but I just wanted to remind you that maybe you have more to give.

I like behind the scenes stuff

Cool Video

To some people this is a real issue…just give it some thought

Anyone who hasn’t been in a cave the last couple of months knows what kanye did at the VMAs a couple of months ago. It is a dead issue, what he did was wrong regardless of the reason.

However what I do not like is the continued dragging out of this joke and some of the undertones that myself and others feel is present with some of the public joking that has occurred.  Recently (last week) one such instance occurred and i was left utterly disgusted. Some might say it was just a joke but I personally think that the left that this was taken to is absurd….below are the two videos I am speaking about.

Now I am trying not say what to me is somewhat obvious but I think that considering the context and setting, the demographic, and everything else…I simply say what type of garbage is this? “DON’T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE KANYE?

You can be the judge of that.

1257186510-Picture2Recently read an interesting New York Times article. New York Times op-ed columnist NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF wrote an article entitled “More Schools, Not Troops“.

In it he writes,

“Dispatching more troops to Afghanistan would be a monumental bet and probably a bad one, most likely a waste of lives and resources that might simply empower the Taliban. In particular, one of the most compelling arguments against more troops rests on this stunning trade-off: For the cost of a single additional soldier stationed in Afghanistan for one year, we could build roughly 20 schools there.”

For The Rest Of The Article

In the coming years as we get older and out planet gets smaller we will have some choices to make…..
