Ok, so I know this is supposed to be a family blog and everything… but what can I say? It’s not like there’s something offensive about this video (although it’s just a matter where your sensitities lay); so assuming there are no prude readers out there (if so I’ll ask them to look away for a little bit), I couldn’t be happier (not in the dirty sense) to present you with this… vivid, energetic and… (bouncy? why do I keep using these parenthesis remarks, anyway?).
Uh, I don’t really recall where I was going with the previous train of thought. I guess Mrs. Klum over there pretty much wrecked my train of thought with her uncanny… (*gulp*, talent?).
What, do I need to comment on this? You people really like watching go around chasing my own literary tail, now dont’cha? Well… just in case this picture doesn’t speak volumes in and of itself (or otherwise in case you still haven’t had that morning coffee which usually kicks off your neurons), I’ll provide you with a little extra something straight from one of America’s most reliable news sources:
WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation’s broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, “It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can’t catch a break.”

As you can see, my pet cats are definitely cute enough to stand a good chance of winning this contest - particularly when they get all bundled up like in the picture up there. Unfortunately, my digital camera is broken and my cell phone is quite low-res, so I don’t think I’ll be able to get a decent picture in time for the contest. Oh well, maybe next time… who knows. In the meanwhile, if you have cool pets and a decent camera, why not consider giving this contest a shot?
Okay. So one day I’m gonna write this post featuring a special compilation of the most asinine and ridiculously funny signs ever to come out from the land of the rising sun. And you know what? I have a feeling this picture here will be making the headlines. However I must admit that it actually makes sense… I mean, anyone who has vomited is well aware that it makes you feel better (well unless you’re bulimic, I guess… but that’s a whole different game I’m talking). But still… in what context would a sign like this ever be conceived? I’d certainly like to know.
Not at all unlike life, the popular tv show “the wheel of Fortune” is capable of amusing us with oftentimes unpredictable moments of sheer amusement and irony. Today I’m about to show you one such video, along with a heads-up: sometimes we’re only treated with loss because we fail to see how triumph is just waiting for us to call its name. Similarly, there are occasions when our small distractions easily transmute into genuine self-fulfilling prophecies. So do you best to remain alert in your daily endeavours, and (why not) make room for good things to happen in your life!
Hello children of the internet, and welcome. Today’s subject is none other than paintball, that noble and modern art of using make-believe weapons of fire to inflict colorful, but all the while annoying wounds upon other people, in a kaleidoscopic representation of how war still sores when it’s make-believe. Similar to how there’s more to modern art than what meets the eye - with all its blotches and splatters - there’s a lot more to paintball than what meets the eye… or the tummy and chest and all over the place, so HEADS UP!
Why, sorry … I always get excited when discussing this subject matter. Well, sometimes I do, or at least now I just did. Well anyways, and by going further on the present exhibition, I’ll subsequently proceed to demonstrate just how paintall - that suble colorful etecetera et. al - can be quite romantic and endearing. Granted, in most circumstances it’s usually and notoriously quite the sadistic passtime, but what would we make out of life without a little suffering? We crave those unpleasant sours (such as getting hit by a splattering paint ball in just about the wrong place) because they preset our taste buds to enjoy the sweets of life with undivided enjoyment, isn’t that so?
What? Enough with dissertation, you just want some action? Allrighty then, grab yourself one of these fine, top-notch spyder paintball guns, and play hard ball all you like… just remind yourself that like any sport, paintball should be all about having fun. Well, that and punishing your friends for all the accumulated daily grind stress. Ah, the beauty in sports and friendships, isn’t life grand!
Ladies and Germs, today I’m about to display what could quite possibly be the most astounding fortune teller you’ve ever seen in both your dreams and waking life. Step inside for some moments of pure enjoyment and delight, as the Youtube fortune teller shows his divinatory might. Watch real close and do as he says: when the mystical cue is presented you’ll need to hold your mouse and rub the crystal ball… this way, your true destiny shall be foretold!
Granted, laughing is one of life’s great pleasures, but every once in a while, some of us astonishingly succeed in turning the pleasure into excess. Sounds improbable? Well, by all means turn up your speakers for an added effect, as I’m about to introduce you to the … unabashable bunch! Within their finest hour, nothing would get in the way between those people and their bursting happiness… and I mean nothing- not even common sense. Just watch:
Here’s a nice story about how far you can go with the power of dreams and doing things you believe in. Once upon a time in the 1920’s in the small town of Buena Park in Palm Springs, California, there was a family of farmers who decided to get a roadside stand and they started selling some berries, berry plants and pies. Business kept rolling steadily, and in the next decade the Knott family introduced the first innovation - they started selling a new innovative kind of berry. During the next decades, they progressively stated selling new products, and eventually the business had become so sucessful that Mr. Knott decided to build a ghost town in the property, to keep the long lines of customers entertained while they waited for service. Fast forward to the 1970’s, and Knott’s Berry Farm had already become a top-notch amusement park, regularly visited by Walt Disney himself, who thoroughly enjoyed the uniqueness of the place.
Well, this just goes to say… if you someday find yourself thinking about getting a roadside stand or something of the sort, don’t let yourself think it’s a dumb idea, because you never know how things might turn out in the long run. I’ve become so excited about this inspirational story that I’ve felt compelled to check out the Trusted Tours and Attractions page about Knotts berry farm tickets, and I might just head out towards the Orange County, this summer still.

make sure to remember to power of practical dreaming, and make sure to provide life with room to give you all that you want.
Today I’m here to tell you about a new toy I’ve recently heard of, which I was instantly drawn to. The astrojax is quite simply a set of three balls bound together by string, which can be used to engage some fascinating gravity defying stunts. This toy feels somewhat like a cross between yo-yo and juggling, and it’s quite interesting to use it because you must learn how to sense the tension in the string and react accordingly. Like this:
There are several types of astrojax available, built with different materials and suitable for different degrees of expertise; some of the recent models include built-in LEDs for a psychedelic effect, or they’re filled with water for a more interesting motion dynamics. If you just want to try using this cool toy, I’ll also show you how to make one from simple household materials.
Granted, this Astrojax DIY is not nearly as accurate as a commercial model so it’s not very good for making advanced maneuvers; still, it’s good enough for getting a feeling of what this is all about, and practice some of the basic techniques. Go ahead and try it! If you enjoy it, make sure to get the real thing:
Also, feel free to send over your videos showcasing your skills!
