Global Warming

There is no scientific proof that any current earth warming  is caused by greenhouse gases through human activity.  We live on a planet that replenishes its ozone through the power of the sun (much like superman)  Is "global warming" an urgent problem like Al Gore would have us believe?  No!!!  Al Gore is doing his powerpoint for attention, money, and fame.  And I can't really blame him, but he is a hypocrite, he spends thousands per month on electricity which fuels his Tennessee mansion.  

Science and Geology have shown that warming and cooling trends do and have occured in the earths 4.5 billion years of existence.  This is caused by the inconstant nature of the sun, solar winds, and variations in clouds.  There is basically nothing we can do to stop the earth from cooling or warming, or getting hit by a meterorite for that matter!  

I am for curbing pollution, clean air and such...and I don't like throwing trash into the ocean.  But my reasons for this are health related, not warming related.  What we need is facts, not hype and false alarmism, but sober facts.  We have a lot of problems in this world, I argue we can expend more resources to solve diseases like cancer and "real" things that threaten our health and well being as a species.  

The global warming preachers remind me of religious dogma, with Al Gore being the pope, and carbon credits playing the part of indulgences.  Al Gore should have never won the Nobel Prize for his nonsense.  If we would have stopped all industrial production 50 years ago and told China and Russia to do the same, that glacier would have still melted Al!!  

Global Warming zealots "feel" that they are doing a good thing, with their wide eyed fanaticism.  I wish they would understand the there is no "threat" and they would put their well meaning activism towards doing something real.

Pyramids

The great Pyramids of Egypt (The only surviving "wonders of the world")

Mayan Pyramid

The Luxor in Las Vegas

The original Pyramids of Egypt in Giza are something I want to see.  Egypt was one of the first original sophisticated civilizations, complete with it's own intricate system of government and religion.  They built the pyramids on the backs of thousands of captured slaves.  This provides the backdrop of the Hebrews passing down campfire myths of their fictional hero "Moses" leading them out of Egypt.  Even though there are no archeological records of any such "Exodus"  The records are plentiful that Pharohs existed, in fact you can see some of them still preserved these thousands years later.  

The Mayans liked to cut peoples hearts out to appease the gods and roll them right down the steps, for more on this see the mad genius Mel Gibson's "Appocalypto" 

The Luxor is an awesome manmade shrine to the virtues of drinking, gambling, and sex.  

Baseball History!!!!

The Dodgers shut out the Angels tonite 1-0.....but that isn't what made baseball history....the Dodgers were no hit!!!  That's right they did not get a single hit in the game.  This is only the fourth time in the 108 years that this has happened.  Angel pitchers Weaver and Arrendondo combine for an 8 inning no hitter, but lose the game!!!  The Dodgers got a run on an error, then another error on a stolen base to put the runner on third....then you have a run via sac fly...no hits!!!!!   This is rarer than a perfect game...it was incredible listening to Vin Scully in the 9th.  Vin said, "Seen a lot of games, never seen anything like this"    Unbelievable!!!

Dana Carvey

Dana Carvey is the best castmember in the history of SNL. He appeared from 1986-1993, he created one of if not the most popular character in show history, "the Church Lady" A hilarious potrayal of an uptight pious church fanatic. From that character he gave us the catch phrases, "Well isn't that special" and Conveeeeeeeenient" Here is a list of his just some of hischaracters....Garth Algar, in Wayne's World
Woody Allen
George Bush
Carsenio
Johnny Carson
Ching Change
Chris, Pat's special someone
Lyle Clark, a Toonce's owners
Grumpy Old Man
H. Ross Perot
Regis Philbin
Dan Quayle
Buddy Precisely
Hans, in Hans and Franz
Casey Kasem
Robin Leach
John McLaughlin
George Michael
Dennis Miller
Mischu, apprentice of KoKo
Keith Richards
One of a Couple of Sammies
Derek Stevens, Chopping Broccoli
Jimmy Stewart
John Travolta
Lyle Billup, The Effeminate Hetero
Head-wound Harry

He was sharp, funny, and fearless on SNL. Some people wonder why he hasn't hit multi million dollar paydays like Mike Myers, Will Ferrell, and Adam Sandler.....in my opinion it is because Dana Carvey doesn't have big screen presence. He can't play the romantic lead in Drew Barrymore flicks like Adam Sandler can. He can't play the everyman buffon like Ferrell. As for Myers, Mike was just more successful in getting his characters on the big screen. Wayne, Dr. Evil/Austin Powers, and of course he hit mega millions with the Shrek franchise. Carvey has enjoyed one blockbuster franchise with Waynes World, and that's it. Even so, I have never seen someone who was funnier in the SNL skits as he was. Even now he could rejoin SNL tomorrow and be the number one cast member .

Lost Highway

OK so now I have seen "Lost Highway" by the genius filmmaker David Lynch.  Again this is not a movie for everybody...in fact most people would watch this and turn it off within the first 40 minutes and say "This is weird"  Of course those are the same people that loved "Night at the Museum" and "The Bucket List"  For me it is hard to describe what Lost Highway was even about, but it was very interesting and a fun movie to watch.  Not as good as "Mullholland Drive" which I think remains the David Lynch masterpiece.    The mystery man alone is fascinating about this movie...here is a picture of the mystery man... 

He can be in two places at once!!!  He can be talking to you face to face, but also be in your house at the same time.

Puppies, Meadows, and Cotton Candy

I like puppies a lot, I also love Cotton Candy, and meadows.  It is my dream to frolic in a meadow with a puppy while I eat Cotton Candy, someday that dream may come true.  

Also I want to point out my favorite inspirational poster of all time.  Sometimes I feel in life that I get very stressed and busy in life.  I like to call it "A case of the mondays" haha well we all feel blue from time to time right?  Well whenever I feel blue, I like to look at this poster of a cat.  He is hanging on a rope with his paws and he looks so cute, and get this, this is rich, the poster says "Hang In There"    I don't know it always gives me a smile!!   What kind of things bring positivity and sunshine into your lives?  Comments? 

Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers

Matt and I saw Petty at the Hollywood Bowl, the concert was great, and of course the bowl is one of the most beautiful natural setting for a concert.  

Tom Petty is pure American Rock and Roll, in fact if it wasn't for  "The Beach Boys" and "The Doors" He may be at the top of the list.  His catalog is vast and his songs are great.
