Of course it is. Full of folks who just like to impress on others, either on the things they own, the vacations they take, the chicks they score or the hunks they score (you see, I like treating both sexes equally) or the vacation they took, or some blabber about stuff they think to know about. Got this friend who after obtaining an MBA from some online joint, and after visiting NASA a few times, believes and tries to make everyone else believe that he is the next Alan Greenspan or John Keynes of our time, or a Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin, to that matter. PLEASE! Get real, most folks on facebook are simple schmucks, no different that you or I to that matter.

a crappy day?
I have come to realize, a crappy day is as crapy as you want to make it. Dont blame others, just get out of the crap, clean it through and next time, watch out where you step on.
November 28 2012
I better stop wondering how come I am not as lucky as other people. After all, luck is relative to the chances of something the we wish happening at any given point in time.
My time, will come!
My time, will come!
And i was thinking about this today...the times I think I have fallen
Jacob awoke from his sleep and said,
‘Surely God is in this place, and I did not
know.’” Jacob’s
vision had now come full
circle. As great as Jacob was, even he
hadn’t realized in the beginning how
great Mount Moriah was. It wasn’t until he
turned back that he came to understand
this. Truly, there is no place distant from
God; even if we think we are far, we are
mistaken. God showed Jacob that if we
do what we can, He will come to us. So
many times we think that we have fallen
away when, in actuality, we are being
tested in order to elevate us to a new
level of closeness. God is always here
waiting for
us. It’s up to us to take the firststep.

November 01 2012 Racket, racket, racket
Racket, racket , racket, racket. So I walked into a local Title Boxing club gym, after so many emails promoting the place I said , what the heck let me take a look at it. They have dozens of heavy bags, a whopping 2 speed bags and...that's it. One huge boxing ring, which they do not use because they do not spar. What kind of boxing gym does not allow their embers to spar? Title boxing will be your answer.
Of course saw a couple of housewives pretending to receive boxing or kickboxing lessons for a prmotional fee of 59 dollars to enroll and 59 bucks a month, you get to warm up for 20 minutes, hit the heavy bags for a whopping 3 full rounds, that is 3 minutes each round with one minute in between of rest and cool down exercises for a grand total of 45 minutes of workout.
I went to a local sports shop, yes I will mention the name, free advertisement, Academy Sports and Outdoors and bought a heavy bag on sale for 44 buck, plus hand wraps and heavy bag gloves all for less than 59 buck. I hung it on my backyard, and I can train for as long as I want every frigging day if I want. Now that is what I call a good value!
Oh, forgot to mention, I was a full contact karate fighter and kick boxer during from 1981 untill 1994, so mind me the "lessons".

Is democracy a true tool of freedom?
If you ask anyone what is the ideal form of government,
they will probably choose democracy. Of course, compared to communism,
dictatorships, monarchies oligarchies, anarchism, I can sympathize with that idea.
Is it really such a great choice? Here, (following the dreadful and robotic IRAC format) In the United States, millions of dollars, maybe billions, will be wasted this year to convince millions of people, most of them woefully ignorant of the candidates, issues, and policy choices, to pull one lever versus another — based entirely upon advertisements which willfully distort the opponent’s record and glorify the candidate’s own, and “news” reports whose partiality is obvious. If you are not having second thoughts, let me remind you of a few instances of Democracy at it's "best": Egypt. The country just selected the Muslim Brotherhood, a “suspected” supporter of terrorism according to the US, to lead it. Gaza similarly elected Hamas, a murderous gang unquestionably in the same category. Venezuela elected soon to be defunct dictator and Latin America's best pariah, Hugo Chavez, and for that matter, Hitler ysv”z was elected democratically as well, I think I do not have much to say on the latter.
Oh, one last caveat, all those billions of dollars pulled in for political advertisement for your favorite beauty king contest, paid by Corporate interests which of course, will come to get their return on investment at your expense.
Awww, democracy, can't have enough of it!
