Either way it go though, I am who I am. I cannot change who my family molded me to be. They've made me a sad, depressed, angry person. But today something was different about today. I was happy all day today I have no clue to why though and I felt weird as hell. I was even smiling and joking around with my youngest sister.

I don't really like stressing folks and stuff only when its necessary and I confrontations are hard for me. I rather hide behind something then talk to that person. I've always been like that for as long as I can remember. My communication skills suck major hockey pucks. I try and try and try but it just don't work I try to motivate myself to be a happier person or try to find things that'll keep me happy. But, the things that keep me happy are dark, sad, gloomy things.

I put my heart and soul into a lot of things and people too. Most of the time I get crushed or it backfires. A person like me is a good one cause anyone less sane than me would of gone insane by now. Well I guess being who I am and the fact that I have a strong pride and used to so much bad and negative shit in my life it just doesn't phase me any more.

What can you do? If you can make a video that teaches other people how to do it, you might be able to make a few bucks.

MindBites.com contacted me not long after I posted my "Hypertufa How-To" video for Honda's DIY contest on YouTube, and invited me to check out their site, whose philosophy is that "we all have something to share." MindBites allows users to upload their own how-to videos, which are then available for users to download for just a couple bucks. And you split the money with MindBites, who pays you a dollar (via PayPal) every time your video is purchased for download.

What's great about the "Web 2.0" concept is that it's based around the notion that the internet isn't just about getting information. It's about sharing information. More and more people are turning to online media and resources to learn - whether it's learning to knit, or learning what kind of camera to buy, or learning about people and faraway lands. My dad and I often joke when we're stumped for an answer or a solution to a problem, "Ask the internet. It knows everything." But the reason it does is because more people like you and me are starting to share their knowledge with the world.

So, what kind of video should you submit? They'll take anything, really, as long as it's educational, and not offensive. I've seen videos that range anywhere from Arts & Crafts to Tech stuff to Music Lessons to Travel and Languages... My 18-year-old stereo speakers needed repair, so that's what I did:

Once your video is produced and uploaded, MindBites enables you to share it via e-mail, link, or by embedding on a web page. And you retain all ownership and rights to your material, to distribute and promote as you please.

So, will people pay 2 bucks to learn how to do stuff? We'll have to wait and see about that. I will say that there are things you can do when considering what to submit:

• Make sure your how-to video is thorough, accurate, and explains things clearly.
• Make sure it's a subject you're familiar with. Know what you're talkin' about.
• Make sure the value of the knowledge obtained outweighs the viewers cost to obtain it. For a $2 download, and about $25 in materials, my video shows you how to save hundreds of dollars by repairing your old speakers rather than buying new ones.
• As always, keep it short. Remember, time, too, is a cost for viewers.

And for Pete's sake, have fun, huh? People like to see other people having fun. It's infectious, and it makes learning easier. I'll end with an appropriate quote from Fat Albert:

"This is Bill Cosby comin' at ya with music and fun, and if you're not careful, you may learn something before it's done."

Hey, hey, hey!

"Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying."

He also stated:

"In our sad condition our only consolation is the expectancy of another life. Here below all is incomprehensible."

More than anything, death scars. It scars the living.  And as Cicero (106-43 BC) himself said, "the life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living."

State your opinion on death.

And may God rest the souls of all whom have past !

I, myself listen to a ton of podcasts. I love podcasts because for one, they are 100% free, and two, there is an enormous variety of subjects that podcasts cover. Ranging from tech (my favorite subject), comedy, news, and so on. I am permanently subscribed to 36 podcasts. My recommendations for tech podcasts are the TWiT Network, hosted by Leo Laporte, which covers every tech subject you can think of. Some great podcasts for Mac geeks are the MacCast, hosted by Adam Christianson, which is updated every week, Mac OS Ken, hosted by Ken Ray, which is a daily podcast that covers all the Mac news you can eat, Surf-Bit's Mac ReviewCast, hosted by Tim Verporten, which is a Mac software podcast that reviews every week all the great software that makes using a Mac something special, and finally the Typical Mac User Podcast, which a bit of a podcast for new mac users, but I enjoy listening to it because it refreshes my Mac knowledge. Podcasts that I listen to for all the gaming goodness are the GameTrailers TV podcast series, and the PlayStation Nation Podcast which covers all the PlayStation news and reviews. A last podcast for people who aren't too much into teach is This American Life, which is an outstanding weekly podcast which chooses a subject and gives stories about that subject, this podcast probably ranks in the top 5 in my podcast library. You can find al these podcasts by going to the podcasts section of the iTunes Store and searching for their names. So, do you listen to podcasts? If, not I would suggest that you find a subject that interests you, such as cooking, and finding a podcast which fits you.

By Mads

If you've ever been to Japan, you will know that young and old, from kiddies to grandma, LOVE all things Marty McFly. In fact, ask most Japanese people their favourite film, and the majority will answer Back To The Future (try it and see!). Our theory revolves around the fact that the future in the film is modern day Japan, minus the hoverboards. So, with this in mind, we began our adventure to Universal Studios Japan, located in Osaka.

Our first piece of advice is do not go on a Sunday, or a public holiday. The lines are massive, (we're talking hour and a half waits) and, in this perfect capitalist society, the people that can afford it buy special tickets to jump the queue!! We hated these people.

So we spent most of the day in lines, but managed to entertain ourselves by getting excited by the rides! Our first attempt was the E.T ride, which is pretty boring if you are over 10 years old, and pretty much not worth the wait. But the E.T store ruled, we definitely could have spent a lot of money here.

Next up was Hollywood Dreams, the only roller coaster in the park. The pink and purple ride looks harmless, but once you climb the hill for the initial drop, you realise what you are in for. I am not a big fan of rides like this, and spent the entire 3 MINUTES, with my eyes closed. But Hon spend the whole time screaming with joy (and a little out of fear, I think).

Two rides and three hours later, we needed some food. So, naturally, we headed towards Jurassic Park for Jurassic Chicken! MASSIVE legs of barbarian style meat, described as both chicken and turkey, but I have a sneaking suspicion it is Ham, judge for yourself in the photos below!

We then figured we should go on the JP ride, which was not as scary as I thought, considering my irrational fear of Velocoraptors. I won't spoil the fun, but buy a poncho at the start of the queue to avoid getting splashed!

After this we went on to The Back to the Future ride. 30 minutes into the hour and a half wait, my patience ran out, and I chose to wait at the nearby cafe while Hon lived out his delorean dreams. Unfortunately, Hon said it was not worth the wait.

By now it was time for the Halloween Character Parade! In Australia we don't care much for Halloween, so we devised a plan to avoid the line ups and go to T2 and Spiderman while everyone else watched the parade. To our despair, the rides close down for the entirety of the show.

After the Parade, we wandered around as the sun set, watching the neon lights being turned on to add a cool atmosphere to the park. USJ really comes alive after dark with performers and eateries. We definately want to come back for a night here.

Overall, the line ups for each ride really put a damper on the day, but my favourite time was just wandering around the park, taking things in and trying on silly hats.

Next up, TOKYO DISNEY!

New digital technology makes production of all kinds more affordable and therefore more available. In the past, it would be impossible to film yourself and broadcast to the entire world. Now

Chris Crocker

this process can be achieved for the price of a webcam and a computer. For example, if someone does not like how Brittany Spears is being treated, they can post a video and become a celebrity themselves (Chris Crocker).

Most American households have at least one computer and most new computers have built in web cams so the process of international broadcasting is free. It takes a moment of contemplation to fully wrap one’s mind around this concept. Within minutes, anyone can broadcast whatever they want to the entire population of the world… for free.

In the past, it was expensive to film talent and a very select population had access to this privilege. Once the talent was filmed it was even more expensive to distribute. This meant making an abundance of copies of the media. In some cases it was film, in other cases video tapes or audio tapes not to mention the freight costs of shipping these items to various studios and television stations across the world. The entire process was incredibly expensive. Digital media also allows duplication of information very easily. Since digital signatures are simply recoded information, that information can be easily duplicated. One file can be copied millions of times with zero degradation to the image or audio quality. Digital media can spread like a virus which is where the term “viral continent” comes from. In other cases, digital media does not have to be duplicated but posted in a public forum such as www.youtube.com. The end result is an unprecedented access to the content that is now produced for such little money. In other words, there is an incredible amount of content and endless access to that content. What this means for the world is that anyone can be a celebrity, not just the lucky few. On one hand, digital media provides a venue for undiscovered talent to get the exposure they deserve. Unfortunately more often than not, the cheap production and easy distribution is exploited by the celebrity industry. “Talents” like Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and others can drop a sex tape online and become household names overnight. Do these people deserve less credit than the talents of old?

In the old days, celebrities became famous for a variety of reasons – more often than not celebrities were inbreeds. Tori Spelling (the ugly girl on 90210) became famous because her father was the producer of 90210. Nicolas Cage’s actual name is Nicolas Coppola and is Francis Ford Coppola’s nephew (don’t forget about Sophia). Jake Gyllenhaal’s parents were producer/writer Naomi Foner and director Stephen Gyllenhaal. Conan O’Brien is related to Dennis Leary. Sean Astin (the Goonies and The Lord of the Rings) is Mackenzie Astin’s (The Facts of Life) brother and John Astin (Gomez on The Addams Family) and Patty Duke are their parents. Jennifer Aniston is John Aniston’s daughter (Days of our Lives). Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty are brother and sister. Melanie Griffith is Tippi Hedren’s daughter. Oliver Platt, Princess Diana, and Orson Welles are all related. It seems as though everyone in Hollywood is family – if they are not related to someone directly in entertainment, they are connected somehow. Believe it or not, Tom Hanks is related to Abraham Lincoln – no joke. Still don’t believe it? How about this test: I say the last names Fonda, Bridges, and Sutherland. Who is being addressed here? There are too many to choose from and yes, they are all related! Most people believe that the actors on the silver screen are the best actors around. That is simply not the case. The folks on the silver screen are merely the best entertainers that are related somehow to other entertainers. Today’s celebrity population is contrived in another way.

Enter Tila Tequila. She was selected as a celebrity simply because she’s hot and her MySpace page was scandalous. Not so different from the sex tape celebrities, Tila Tequila has relatively no talent and no

reason to be celebrated as a “talent.” None the less she has been propelled to stardom. The question is: by whom? The answer is simple. Anytime there is an opportunity for someone to make money, they will lie cheat and steal to get it done. MySpace (therefore NewsCorp) makes money off Tila Tequila, and now Playboy, Penthouse, Maxim, etc have hopped on the Benjamin-lined band-wagon. They saw a terrific opportunity to make money and they did. It’s possible to get everything from Tila Tequila songs and videos to Tila Tequila clothing and underwear. This is someone who was plucked out of nowhere and made an international phenomenon. The celebrity system today operates like a cooperate fairground grabber. The industry has gotten so good at artificially creating talent through technology and marketing, they don’t even need talent anymore. Take the American Idol meat puppets for example.

Advancements in technology and digital media allow mass audiences to interact with the television show creating almost a “choose your own adventure” type of reality. VIA the internet and phone lines viewers are empowered to eliminate contestants on the show. From a marketing prospective, it’s the masses telling the producers whose album they are most likely to buy; that way the producers don’t have to guess who to push into the marketplace. American Idol is an enormous “product survey” for the record producers. Audiences feel ownership over the winner because they helped “make” them. They feel more of a personal relationship with those artists than with the ones that have been more blatantly marketed to them so they are more likely to want to “support the artist” and purchase the CD. The producers have no problem with this whatsoever naturally. The question becomes this: is Carrie Underwood more talented than the acoustic guitar player at your local coffee shop?

American Idol is glorified Karaoke. The performers need only one thing: a good voice. The vast majorities of American Idol contestants have never written a song and probably don’t even play any instruments. Throughout the duration of the show, they will not write their own songs, and they will not play their own instruments. None the less American Idol winners are some of the most broadcast artists. Meanwhile folks like the acoustic guitar player at your local coffee shop will probably never hit the radio waves. So if American Idol contestants really can’t do much, to what do we attribute their success? Welcome back digital media!

Commercial songwriters today are broken into two teams of people. One team writes the lyrics and the other team writs the music. Most of them are probably incredibly creative and talented but too unattractive to become stars themselves. As a result, they’ve agreed to sell their souls for tons of money. They write songs and give them to artists (not just the American Idol winners, by the way). Unfortunately most of them operate as ghost writers (for even more money) so we may never know which Stars deserve it and which stars are money making manipulations. Digital media is re-introduced into the equation with the presence of MIDI files. Think of MIDI files as digital sheet music. When a musician plays any instrument or sings any song, they sing on a timeline. Each note they hit is placed at a particular point in time and with varying levels of volume. MIDI files memorize digital signatures of when and how loud notes were struck. In other words, if a pianist was playing a keyboard that was recording MIDI information, the computer would log exactly when a note was played, and exactly how hard the key was struck. Later, the musician can take this file and open the timeline. When he or she does this, a timeline will open with dots and lines indicating the keystrokes. The pianist can then click on the dots and lines and move them around, manipulating the performance. This means that if the pianist accidently hits a note a few seconds too soon, they can simply go into the MIDI file and move the note back into place. If the pianist decides he or she should have played that note an octave higher or a bit louder - no problem; then note can simply be edited. MIDI files allow even terrible musicians to record tracks in perfection.

Utilizing MIDI files, the artist can go far beyond just correcting performance mistakes. Notes can be completely added. Perhaps the pianist can’t play a blues riff. No problem – the musician can click in the MIDI timeline and indicate where a note would need to be, and how loud the computer should play it. Remember also that MIDI files are only recording when in time the note was struck, and how hard the note was struck – not the actual instrument that was used to strike these notes. In other words, a pianist can record a banjo solo on his or her keyboard, take it into the MIDI file, and simply apply a sampled banjo sound to the MIDI track. It is possible for a musician to record an entire album complete with everything from a full string section to a didgeridoo and not know how to play a single instrument.

I don’t mean to imply that the American Idol and music celebrities of our time sit at their computers and manipulate MIDI files all day; most of them probably wouldn’t be able to describe a MIDI file to you if their life depended on it. Any musician that has any amount of monetary value has entire staffs of people writing their lyrics, and MIDI files. All they really have to do is look pretty, and try to stay on pitch. The rest of the music writing, recording, and performing will be taken care of for them by the massive staff of people who are in charge of keeping them commercial.

Digital media can be used for good, and it can be used for evil. It can be used to create exposure for undiscovered talent, and it can be used to create an illusion of talent in people who have no business in entertainment. At the end of the day artists sadly must take a back seat to money. Digital media is shedding light on our celebrity industry but even more frightening is what it says about American interests. If the masses truly wanted to see talent that is what would rise to the top of the digital media arenas and that is what would be bought up by the conglomerates. Unfortunately talent is crushed by sex, scandal, and just plain hot bodies.

So the kid with a great voice at the local coffee shop is probably more talented than 80% of the celebrities out there but will probably never be noticed. The actress at the local community college is probably a better actress than Angelina Jolie but she’s not related to John Vought so nobody will ever notice her either. If the money makers never notice these individuals, that’s one thing. Even worse, the public probably won’t give them due credit either. Brainwashing of the masses is nothing new. Most people know that television commercials are persuasive. Many people will even acknowledge that simply watching television and fast forwarding the commercials still subjects them to persuasion. A sickly few individuals are aware of the enormous business of “celebrity.” The conglomerates are working to propel individuals into name brands for no other reason than to slap a price tag on them and hurry them into the marketplace. Fortunately, the internet will hopefully prove to people that there is nothing special about celebrities and there probably never was. We are encouraged to care about celebrities for no other reason than to be convinced that they deserve our money. It’s vital for the preservation of art in this country that we look to one another as talented individuals. It’s significantly important; we MUST stop idolizing and worshiping celebrities – they do not deserve our love. The kid at the local coffee shop does.

In an effort to be bipartisan (is that a chuckle I hear?), this is a friendly reminder to register to vote.  In some states the deadline is as early as tomorrow, in others, it's Monday (this is also the deadline to request an absentee ballot).  There's nothing more pathetic than not voting.

Där får man ge signaler om religiös tillhörighet samtidigt som man har förståelse för att muslimska barn inte deltar i kristedomsundervisning. På alla led tillrättalägger man för diskriminering av kristendomen för islam genom att tillåta muslimska signaler och spindeln i nätet är det värdelösa DO.
"Nyamko Sabuni hävdade att muslimska föräldrarna tvingar sina barn att gå i religiösa skolor enbart för att kontrollera och utöva makt över barnen. Denna makt överför det värdelösa DO till våra kommunala skolor.
Det torde väl vara uppenbart att i ett samhälle där kristendomen uppblandad med icke troende blir ett sekulärt samhälle och det samhället återspeglar sig i skolan. Redan där skär det sig mot många troende muslimer och man måste då "statuera" exempel genom att visa sig från sin bästa muslimska sida, att framhäva sig genom t.ex slöja. Livligt påhejade av det värdelösa DO.
Skolan skall för övrigt undervisa "om" religionerna, inte "i" religion.

De konfessionella friskoleförespråkarna försvarar föräldrarnas rätt att fritt välja religion för sitt barn.
De förspråkar samma rätt mot de kommunala skolorna både för sig själva och för sina barn, Livligt påhejade av det värdelösa DO.

Slöja på barn bör förbjudas eftersom barn inte har någon religion. Att sätta slöja på barns huvud är en diskriminering av barn på grund av föräldrarnas religiösa hemvist. Var snäll och glöm inte bort att slöjan är en diskriminering av kvinnor. Skolan skall vara sekulär till 100%. Inga religiösa symboler skall få förekomma i de svenska skolorna för barn skriver Soleyman Ghasemiani.
Men när Minervaskolan i Umeå förbjöd slöja på ett barn hur reagerade det värdelösa DO då? Jo, skrek på brott mot religionsfriheten, man stöder könsapartheid istället. Islamiska kvinnoföreningen rasade över beslutet och kallade det för diskriminering, ynkryggar.

Richard Dawkins; "det finns inga kristna barn, bara barn till kristna föräldrar." Samma gäller för barn till muslimer även om du där tvingas in vid födseln.

De Rodney de Berolizonte.

Few people live an authentic life. Very few. I’m unclear at times if I’m living an authentic life. Uncertainty acts as a helper and keeps me honest. It forces me to check in with my inner self to ensure I’m doing my very best.

To live an authentic lifestyle requires re-thinking the importance of life itself. It was, and is, challenging to say the least. However, I do know that when you live an authentic life (even in short bursts), you are living in a way that resonates with your inner being. You avoid connecting yourself with destructive habits, relationships or lifestyles. You are in touch with your real self.

From minute to minute each day, you are the same “you” and people around you don’t guess who you are … they just know. At work, at play and at home you are the same person. Authentic “self” means possessing inner strength. It also means living a life void of manipulation, power plays, and hatred.

Being authentic means creating a path in front of you (and in your wake) that feels somewhat spiritual but wholly natural. Authenticity means you aren’t afraid of truth. It also means you deal with fear in a way that builds character and strengthens you rather than debilitating you. The path is hard to follow at times because life throws plenty of diversions to test us. In reality those tests are just ‘tests’ … little sign posts to guide us … if we elect to listen.

For the past year this blog site has acted as a compass of sorts – giving me some direction and enlightenment about authenticity. Sure, I’ve had plenty of moments (and days) where I was not authentic. But when those events occurred, I made course corrections to realign my thinking.

As I’ve aged I see more, but need glasses to read. I eat more, but weigh less. I ride further, but recover slower. As I’ve become more authentic, I realize how difficult it is to try. Frankly, being authentic is all about choice. It’s a choice to either do or not do. There is no “try.”

I shall doeth.

The waters surrounding Newport Harbor offer deep nutrient rich waters which attracts all types of marine creatures. The Laguna Beach coastline is just south of Newport Harbor and offers some of the most beautiful coastline of Southern California. The gray whales another whale very commonly seen on our cruises seem to enjoy the beauty of the Laguna Beach coastline as well with many whales spotted just a couple hundred yards off of the beach. Most of our whale watching cruises take in the scenic backdrops of Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach. Due to the geography of the orange county coastline and the protection of Catalina Island, the ocean conditions are incredible calm and comparable to a fresh water lake this allows whale watchers to fully enjoy the amazing viewing experiences.
