When I watch the news, as the newscasters report on how low are the approval points of President Bush it simply makes we wonder, how is he able to rule. If you believe the news on MSNBC and FOX, you must consider this point, discussion upon discussion has been held and polling data says that most of Americans don't support anything the current American president is doing, but what makes me wonder is that, how is the president able to continue to manipulate Congress on doing what he wants. I thought Congress are made up of representatives elected by the people from each state. So, how is the president able to get the votes he needs when the majority of the people don't support him?

Would someone please comment.

Wow, its been nearly 2 months since I last wrote in. Well, things that I have been doing during my hiatus. Lets see, hhmm, nothing much really. The world has been revolving and people are still trying to kill each other and everything good and well decent is being placed in hand carts, flower baskets and anything that is cute and beautiful and being prepared to be launched right up to hell.
Anyhow, what have I been doing that is what matters to me really. I have been spending time kayaking. Not swerving across rapids or stuff like that. Just doing it in ponds deep enough to make kayaking fun and a just a little bit exciting for an unexperienced person like me. But I would like to go river rafting, you know. Be one of those people who have great stories, funny anecdotes to tell their friends about their adventures against the great wonders and mysticism of mother nature.

Wow, that was short wasn't it. Maybe I should have waited another 2 months before I entered something worth while, huh.
Well, no one's reading anyway. So, adieu.

I know. I know. It has been awhile that since I wrote anything, but what can I say, things just crops up. A lot of things happened since my last post. I found a couple of very interesting photographs, some I founds on the net and some I took myself.

This is a photo of a waterfall in one of the numerous mountains in China called Flame Mountain.

















Photos of a tree in Michigan after an ice storm a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful sight. Simply marvelous.
Well, since I can't upload any more photos at this moment, I'll just save them up for later. Well, so far as I can't say this has been a strange January for me, either weather wise nor in daily life.

I know that its been a while. Well, for anyone that reads my entries (which I doubt). Anyhow, its been a while, feels a little awkward to be blogging again after such a long time. Well, now what should I write about hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ....... good question. Ladi da, ladi da ...
I have no idea what to write about. Writers block I guess. Its kinda funny actually. I have been in this kind of situation when I have a purpose to write before, I need an issue, a purpose, a direction, the path can be stumbled on later but first a push or in my case, a kick should be sufficient I guess. Well, sadly I don't have that kick. No more writing classes, no more kick. Isn't it sad. I always have something to say, well, that comes out nicely in writing when I have to. Alas, there is no need for me to say.

What do you think? If you want to here anything from my end please tell me. Wow, I'm pleading to an known crowd that I don't even know that even actually reads my ramblings.

I was surfing in the net when I stumbled onto a picture. It was a picture of the Niagara Falls taken in the winter of 1911. So, out of curiosity I searched for a picture of Niagara Falls of today, the results were very surprising. Well, could you tell what makes this photos interesting.













This is what Niagara Falls looked like in winter 1911. By the way those are people on the ice. And, if I am not mistaken even the water flow was stopped as it friezed up.



This is a photo of Niagara Falls in winter 2005 if I am not mistaken.

First of do you remember who Bob Saget is? If you don't let me remind you, he is the guy who played the dad in the Olsen twins show, "The Full House". Well, this is a clip of him on stage. But, warning it is quite vulgar. Watch at your own risk.

I was bored and basically didn't know what to do ... so, here I am. Anyhow, I was browsing through the net when I came across a couple of interesting items. Well, the first are original photos of Pearl Harbor after the bombing in 1941. Here is one of them:


The next item is a list properly entitled, "All Men's Rules". In my opinion its quite proper for the world them we currently reside in, where everyone has to be PC (politically correct) when deals with the fairer sex. These are a few of them:

1. Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Don’t try to change that.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
- Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color.
- Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

Well, those are a few. The rest can be found here. A mirror site has been created which can be used if the main site is down.

This next one is a news article from the Daily Mail. It is entitled , "How feminism destroyed real men". Although, the first part of the article is well written, the author messes it up at the very end.

Today, I want to share three things with anyone who reads my blog. The first two is about how messed up is the American education. This is an exert from University College London’s admission pages which I got from a blog, 'hell's maiden', and this is the exert:

For entry into UCL’s undergraduate degree programmes, students who hold A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate with good grades will be considered. The US High School Graduation Diploma on its own does not satisfy UCL’s general entrance requirement for undergraduate degree programmes. To be eligible for consideration students must have usually obtained passes in four, full year Advanced Placement (AP) examinations at grades 4/5. Alternatively the High School Graduation diploma plus a minimum of 1300/1600 or 1950/2400 in SAT I plus the successful completion of one year at a recognised US university would be considered.

The second item is a letter from a teacher to a student's mother. Well, you have to read to understand and sympathize with me.

Finally, is a list of movies that a blogger believes that the US government would prefer that you not watch. It is a very interesting list. Well, a few of the movies on the list are "V for Vendetta" , "1984", and Al Gore's film, " An Inconvenient Truth". Well, check it out.

Tell me what you think about any of the items that you have just viewed.
