It's A Boy!

Hey there. We're having a boy! We went to our ultrasound appointment this morning and we were told that we're having a boy! We want a healthy baby but my wife and I were hoping to have a boy so that we can even out the family, as in have 2 boys and 2 girls.
Our morning started out a little rough, traffic wise at least. I thought that because it was kind of early, we can hop on the freeway and get there with time to spare. Once we were on, my wife reminded me how awful the 5 freeway is (bumper to bumper all day, everyday) and time was running out. I weaved in and out of traffic and got off the freeway and drove from East L.A. to downtown L.A and managed to get us there at exactly 8:15. We walk in, wait, fill out the paper work, and then we get our ultrasound. Baby is doing good. Everything looks normal and there were no abnormalities. I referred to the baby as him and the doctor said, "Did you just say him?". I said said yeah and he told me that I was right and showed us his "boyhood". lol I left the ultrasound pics in the car so I'll post one up when I get back from lunch. Catch you guys then. Later!

I think. Therefore, I am. But if I refuse to think, would I cease to exist? Hmmm....

Who the Hell is John Titor???

Hey there. I'm a curious person. The whole UFO debate fascinates me, the paranormal fascinates me, and among many other things, time travel fascinates me. So when I stumbled across the name, John Titor - time traveler, I raised an eyebrow and started to look into this time traveler. Now, not many people know the name, so here's an extremely quick run down of the guy.

He claims to be from 2036
He traveled back in time to 1975 for a IBM 5100 computer
He made a "pit stop" in 2001 for personal reasons
He posted in the Art Bell BBS Forums and identified himself as a time traveler
He traveled using a military time machine
He disappeared without a trace in early 2001

Check out some of his original posts here: http://www.anomalies.net/object/titororiginalpost.html

I'm no John Titor expert and I don't know all the facts but what I have read has sparked my interest. Now, right off the bat, I've lost some of you, since I am aware that this sort of thing is not everyone's cup of tea, but I find this person fascinating since this person seems to have just disappeared off the face of the Earth. During his posts, he laid the mechanics and physics concerning the time travel machine, going into the complex mathematics that was used to make it possible. He refused to give any predictions and did not want to disclose any information that would cause anyone to interfere with the current world line.

The world line... More than anything, I believe this is what fascinates me the most. The Everett-Wheeler-Graham Theory suggests that our universe is composed of many universes in which each one represents each and every possible scenario. For example, you are at the store deciding on whether or not you should buy something. In one universe, you bought an ice cream cone. In universe 2, you didn't and walked out the store and got hit by a bike, or whatever. At that moment, a separate universe was created and there are, in theory, 2 yous walking around, but will never cross paths because they are on different world lines. Crazy thought, no? Imagine all the decisions made in your life time. For each decision you made, there is another world line out there that exists based on a completely different decision that could have been made. It's a theory that completely blows my mind. If this theory is true, then it begs to ask the question on whether or not there is God. If I decide to be Mr. Peace on Earth, there is an alternate world line where I am Mr. Hell on Earth to balance it out. On one path I chose peace, in the other path I did not. If both good and evil sides exists within separate world lines, when I die, which one of "me" will be judged? Oh, here's another crazy idea... if there are alternate universes, as theorized, then is God and Satan one and the same? God being Mr. Peace on Earth and Satan being Mr. Hell of Earth? Food for thought, no? Later!

Dr. Oetker: The Shake & Pour Master

Hey there friends. My wife loves to bake. She'll make us cakes, cupcakes, muffins, or cookies and when she does it, she makes it a family affair. Our kids will help with mixing the batter while another butters up the pan. Before we know it, there's a huge mess in the kitchen; the mixer goes off the bowl, egg yolk that didn't quite make it into the bowl, batter splatter across the counter. It's great family fun, not so great family cleaning. But with the new line of Dr. Oetker Shakers, we can continue the family time and drastically reduce the mess.

What are Dr. Oetker Shakers? They are the extremely convenient shakers in which you only need to pour water or milk in and shake it up to create the perfect batter. Their shakers come in a wide variety and include favorites such as Chocolate Cupcakes, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, and Blueberry Muffins. Because the shakers are so convenient to use, I'm sure that you'll find yourself baking more often making family baking time more frequent.

Dr. Oetker is also having a daily sweepstakes for a chance to win $1200 Visa Card. You can register at their site and submit an entry a day for your chance to "Shake Up a Winner" with Dr. Oetker products.

So the next time the PTA announces that there will be a bake sale going on for your kid's school, don't hide in the back and hope to sneak in something small. Go grab some Dr. Oetker shakers and easily whip up some of the best home made cupcakes and muffins for the sale.

Olivia Munn is Bad Ass

Hey there. I'm a game freak and glad to see that there's G4 on TV. That station has it all to appease a geek like me. Bad ass shows like X-Play Unbeatable Banzuke, Ninja Warrior, Code Monkeys, etc. But Attack of the Show is edging out the flagship show, X-Play in my eyes. While X-Play does the "nerd guy with hot chick" thing quite well, Adam and Morgan may have to step aside to the new kids in town, Kevin and Olivia. X-Play is great, when you want the latest news on video games for all platforms. Latest reviews and quirky conversations between Adam and Morgan was like a fresh of breath air for us viewers. It didn't seem that the conversations between the two were scripted so it felt like these are two people that us gamers could relate too. But, like most of you, gaming is not all I'm into. There's the anime, Comicon, and all things tech that I'm into and Kevin and Olivia is the team to go to. Not only do they have great chemistry together, but they look like they're having fun doing it. They not only give us the heads up on games, but on camcorders, TVs, cameras, PCs, the works. And I love the way those two put themselves right in the middle of the action. When Street Fighter 4 came out, who was there to try the game out first hand? Olivia and Kevin. Olivia went as far as to dress up as Chun Li for the event! Not only that, but the woman went ahead and dove right into the Ninja Warrior obstacle course. You know how difficult that damn thing is? My son has been hooked on that show for a few years now and he swears that he and I will one day head off to Mt. Midoriyama to one day take on the course. lol The above would warrant any woman to part of the bad ass club, but those feats of bad assery is not enough for Olivia Munn. A few nights ago, while watching Attack of the Show, I see Kevin declaring a MEGA DARE on Olivia. lol That's right, a MEGA DARE. None of this double or triple dare crap for them. lol Anyways, the dare turned into a contest between Olivia and Kevin. The contest being who can drink the most hot sauce shots. lol Olivia took Kevin on and after the first few shots, you knew the woman was in pain all the while, Kevin gloating. She hung in there though. They handled all the shots (10 each) while the last shot was to be the tie breaker. The two actually fought for the last one before Kevin downed it for the win. lmao Yes my friends, this is the kind of shit that I find entertaining. lol 

Now, after watching that. I'm declaring Olivia the winner. Why? Because Kevin, that ass, still had a shot in his hand while he fought off Olivia for the tie breaking shot. Had he been a man, he'd down his shot before going for the next one. Therefore, disqualifying him. Well, in my book at least. So here's to you, Olivia, the bad ass chick that whipped Kevin in what I like to call, "The Hot Shots of Death" MEGA DARE. For what I saw you do, was one of the most bad ass things I've seen on TV. Later!
