Every year we hear the sad stories of a hunting mishap, usually they are fatal mishaps, much like the one that I just heard on the radio yesterday. The story was about a father, some where in the southern part of Virginia, that took his two sons, ages 7 & 10, out hunting. The 7 year old shot a dear with his pellet gun and then proceeded to run towards the dear, mean while the 10 year old shot his shot gun at the dear and the younger brother was hit by the bullet and was killed. What a sad story, I can’t imagine what that family is now going through. There is no good time for something like this to happen, but right during the holiday season must be the worst time ever.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians
While surfing channels I seem to keep seeing bits and pieces of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians, a show that I have never had any intentions of watching. I keep seeing a guy that looks familiar, but his voice isn’t quite right and his hair is just butt ugly. Come to find out – this guy is Bruce Jenner, a former Olympic athlete but something just didn’t seem to fit so I Googled his name and found out that he is one of the many victims of some plastic surgery done bad.
The 2010 National Geographic Photo Contest
National Geographic has always been known for their great photographs. I’m glad that I ran across this photo on Yahoo. Most of us have a soft spot for dolphins and this photo depicts the seriousness of what man’s trash is doing to so much of our wildlife.
Dolphin alert?- The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil is considered a wildlife sanctuary, but today, even in this isolated archipelago dolphinsare victims of the bad habits of consumption.
Los Angeles Kings
Post contributed by Josue Durham
The Los Angeles Kings have returned to their regal origins with a great start to the season, all of this without the talented defenseman Drew Doughty, and I can only assume that once Doughty returns the wins will continue in perpetuity. Okay, maybe not in perpetuity, but this team will be very impressive for a long time, as they are excellent in all facets of the game, and their defensive prowess will only further improve with the addition.
Doughty hopes to return Thursday, but regardless of whether he does or not the Kings have shown they can win without him. This team is a juggernaut, a majestic team which I have pledged my undying fealty. Last night we booed Kovalchuk relentlessly as our stifling defense held him to only two shots on goal. We made the former King realize that joining up with Satan’s army was a mistake, as the mighty monarchs taught him who wears the crown. It is no secret why we continue to be perfect at home, as home is the palace where the king feels most comfortable. I suspect we will win like 80% of our home games this season, that is how talented and impressive this team is. Since I moved far way from Southern California, I like rooting for the Kings via NHL Center Ice available through Direct TV satellite.
Too Pooped To Pop
I have a good friend that is confirmed bachelor just as I am. But where I am pretty quiet and laid back he is pretty wild and crazy and considers himself to be one of the best pick up artist in town. Me, I don’t even know how to text a girl with a pick up line and not sound like a complete idiot much less looking at one right in the eye and spewing out some outrageously witty line in an attempt to get her undivided attention.
I generally just go up and introduce myself, offer to buy her a drink (if at a bar) and hope that my smile gets to her in a positive way in an attempt to hook up with nice and interesting female. Not that I have a lot of time to spend bar hopping these days. There is always so much work to be done around here, come night time I’m usually wiped out and not in any mood to clean up, dress up and go up town for an evening out on the town. A quick dinner and a nice hot shower is more my speed then an hour or so on the computer before kicking back on the sofa for some television, if I can find something decent to watch, works out well for this tired and lonely puppy.
I Didn’t Know That . . .
Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country..
Ninety percent of the world’s ice covers Antarctica .
This ice also represents seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world.
As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a desert;
The average yearly total precipitation is about two inches.
Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, ice.),
Antarctica is the driest place on the planet,
With an absolute humidity lower than the Gobi desert.
