I love watching Henry Rollins speak because he is hilarious and always so true.  If you have not ever heard him speak then watch this video here He talks about why he is single because he cannot stand dating someone who listens to Nickelback ( who could ) and other ways that he consider shallow.  He keeps it real and is honest with himself.  Love him, Hate him, he is what he is and he is comfortable with that.  At least he knows he will always be alone.

As I am sure Henry would believe,  Love is like bridge, if you don’t have a good partner you better have a good hand.

Okay so if the title doesn’t interest you then you probably should just mosey along because this is a awesome video of super heroes doing what they do best.  Haven’t you ever thought what would happen if Spider Man, The Hulk, and Iron Man teamed up to fight giant robots?  I know I did but now I know the answer.  Check it out here and enjoy the video.

In case you didn’t know too, telling computer guys that they need to have permission to quote things is like having to tell little children about Death.

I can honestly say I never thought graphs could be funny until I came across today’s site of the day.   Graph Jam shows all sorts of ways that graphs can portray humor in ways you never would have thought.  I can’t even begin to count all the hours spent looking through this site and just enjoying all the ways people have found to get a punchline across.  Check it out and post what your favorite is.  I linked to mine as a starting point for the site to anybody who has never seen it before.

Enjoy the site and think about this: What if all the stars are salt and God’s gonna eat us all? 

This video is great and I cannot tell you to much without ruining it.  Trust me though when I say that it is interesting, unique, and will make you go AWWWW.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aBYNORgw6E

Until tomorrow I leave you with these wise words from Albert Einstein.  Imagination is more important than knowledge

This is a link I found recently that I found useful and fantastic.  Here are 26 new and awesome web apps that you probably don’t know about.  It has everything from flash design, to chat room setups, to opening up zip files online.  This site has many useful tools for all sorts of situations.  I found that all the links here are things I can use today, tomorrow, and in the many days still yet to come.  So enjoy and let me know which tool you found most useful.

I will have a new link tomorrow but until then remember don’t smoke! Unless you’re on fire. Then it’s only natural.

I stumble around the internet quite a lot.  I love finding crazy things I would not have found otherwise.  It got me thinking how I wish I could share the sites I find with others and encourage other people to explore the internet as well. 

Let me begin by stating that I use Firefox and have installed the stumbleupon toolbar to assist me with this.  If you have this toolbar and would like to see some sites I enjoy my username is radioactivesmurf.  A little background here is that I have rated over 11,000 websites using this toolbar and am fanatic about it.  It is because of this that I will choose one site a day to write and share through my blog.

Today’s site can be found at http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/figurine  This is a crazy flash video that makes you wanna go WAHHH!  It’s insane but fun and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  Until tomorrow everybody always remember we may never understand this world and we may not ever receive the answers to our questions, but the beauty of living is realizing everday holds suprises. 

I have discussed this topic in various forms of media before and I believe it is worth visiting here too.  I have talked about this on a Radio show I had at Beloit College, in my school newspaper and now I share it with you. 

CEREAL MASCOTS SET HORRIBLE EXAMPLES FOR CHILDREN!!

The Trix Rabbit is a friendly rabbit who only wants some cereal.  It’s not a big request he only wishes that children would share with him.  He gets desperate and will steal, or dress up in disguises just to partake in a cereal that these children clearly love.  Do we teach kids that sharing is caring?  NO!  We teach them selfishness and to rationalize your greed with catch phrases like ” Silly Rabbit Trix are for kids!”  Oh Really?  Says who?  I don’t see why this kind rabbit who never did any wrong cannot have a bowl of delicious cereal.  Rotten kids just get in his way.

Tell me that Tony the Tiger is not on steroids.  He would love for you to believe that it is sugar on his frosted flakes but is it really?  This tiger is HUGE even for tiger standards.  Plus what is with all the kids hitting home runs in his commercials?  That seems a bit beyond little league play.  I think this mascot pushes drugs onto young impressionable kids.  No wonder there is such a problem in baseball today.  This guys is the Barry Bonds of the cereal world.

I don’t know where to begin with this.  First his catch phrase is ” I gotta have my smacks ” which is wrong in so many ways.  Let’s start with the fact that smacks is a street name for black tar heroin.  I wonder why he has to have his smacks?  Is it cause he is having withdrawal symptoms and needs his fix?  This frog needs help and he needs to get away from kids telling them all about smacks.

What do you suppose we can learn from Lucky Charms?  TO CHASE AND POTENTIALLY BEAT UP THOSE WHO HAVE WHAT WE WANT!!  Seriously these kids never let up on poor lucky.  He is always running away from these little monsters as they try to steal his charms.  He is using everything he’s got to keep these kids away from him and they just won’t let up.  Those little thieves will not rest until they have taken everything away from poor lucky.

Last but not least is Captain Crunch.  Do you feel comfortable with a salty sea captain sitting down to eat breakfast with your children?  I wouldn’t. He even brings kids on his ship which seems like kidnapping to me as I never saw any parental approval and I don’t know a parent alive who would say yes to their kid asking this ” I’m going on a ship with an old man because he promised me sugar cereal “  I don’t know what the captain is getting at but I think this old seadog needs to keep his crunch berries to himself.

So this is my take on cereal mascots.  What do you think?

I was looking at the above site which I came across with the use of the StumbleUpon toolbar.  It is true what they say…a picture is worth a thousand words.  I can’t believe that people can walk around the city of Chernobyl and it’s mesmerizing to see what’s left.  It really got my imagination running.  This was once a thriving city that even had a big carnival planned.  It was scheduled to take place just 4 days after the meltdown occurred.   The people did  not know that they were in danger because everybody was lied to.  It’s well known that Russias ego is to big to admit a mistake and for that they killed many people and put more in danger.  It’s horrifying and the panic that must have set in is unfathomable.  What amazed me most about this though was how mother nature took over this radioactive wasteland.  Tree’s and shrubbery are growing all over the city slow reclaiming what they once had.  There is no doubting the power of mother earth with these pictures.  Take a look through the site and let me know what you think about it.  What is going through your mind and how does it make you feel?
