Paris Jackson smacks the world with reality of the King of Pop

2009-07-08T18:01:00.002-04:00

I have some people state that they where displeased about Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, speaking at her fathers memorial. I feel these people are in bad taste. 1. it was her father's memorial she has much more right to be up their then half the people singing.2. I think the real reason those who where upset about her speaking, where displeased because they have to come with the

re: Open letter to Repubs

2009-04-30T20:05:00.005-04:00

So a guy I know online is trying to save the Republican party.He's hoping to get a lot of views to a letter he has on his site (Progressive Republicans) asking for the parties leadership to look at it self and for Republicans to stop attacking each other.I disagree with the later part. The people in the Republican party need to dish out their issues. If the party can't stand infighting then I

Better of Ted (funniest TV show on the air)

2009-04-24T12:53:00.002-04:00

I'm surprised reading a few article that say the new ABC show Better of Ted is doing poorly in the ratings. why am I shocked...because it is one of the funniest shows on TV. I'm not sure why people haven't tuned into the show yet, maybe the ads for the show didn't draw people in. or maybe because it came on midseason many people are already locked in their TV watching patterns.if you haven't

Pontiac, MI may get high speed rail

2009-04-18T14:51:00.002-04:00

recently there has been some news that the stimulus plan has money set aside that may go to a few high speed rail networks across the nation. one of these hubs is in the Midwest, where a number of Midwestern link to Chicago. Now when I saw this on the news they said that one of the lines will link the Chi to the D (that's Detroit) but reading more detailed there will also be a high speed drop to

are we seeing the end of wii madness?

2009-04-17T14:17:00.004-04:00

that what some people are saying due to the fact that last month, the PS3 out sold the Wii in Japan.I don't know if I wouldn't put Wii in the grave because of this news. The Wii has been at the top for a long time (selling like gangbusters) and it makes since that sooner or later there would be some slow down. Gamasutra has a post up about the fact that over half of the wii sales are for

I may have been to hard on my mayor

2009-03-20T13:20:00.002-04:00

on my last post I talked about the fact that the city of Pontiac maybe taken over by the state (which has now happened)I pointed out the fact that giving the city is expected to be $5 to $7 million debt next year. Which is bad but before the current Mayor took office the city had a about a $37.1 million budget debt now I feel a little bad for the mayor, even thought the city is in bad shape, at

Gov. Granholm takes over the city of Pontiac

2009-02-25T16:22:00.004-05:00

My hometown of Pontiac, MI has been going through financial troubles for a while now. Well now it is seen to be so bad that Jennifer Granholm has declared the city a state of emergency and may appoint someone to manage the cities assets.shocking, but honestly I doubt they can run things worst then the people in charge of the city already are. The mayor of Pontiac says “We weren’t aware we were

I think scammers are trying use Obama's stimulus plan to trick people

2009-02-23T13:07:00.002-05:00

I just got a phone call with a recorded message talking about a debt restructuring plan, but unlike other messages of this nature they are using the stimulus plan that was recently past as a hook, by saying that this restructuring plan is part of the stimulus package.

attack of the living dead social networking site: friendster

2009-02-16T18:20:00.002-05:00

I had open a friendster account way back when that was the popular networking site, that I have used in ages. but it seems like every other day I get an email saying someone wrote me a message or sent a friend request and I check it to see if it's someone I know/knew and it always spam.what I wonder is does anyone actually still use friendster that isn't a spam bot zombie?

Obama's inaugiration speech ushers in a new era

2009-01-20T12:28:00.002-05:00

watching Obama give his inauguration speech it, is clear that we are entering an era of change. Not only because of the fact that America has now sworn in it's first Black president, but the words Obama spoke show that he will run much differently form the presidents before him in the last few decades.if his words ring true we will see an America that works with other nations instead of against.

local press goes faux gangsta?

2009-01-15T12:34:00.003-05:00

I came across this interesting article talking about the reporting about gangs in the city of Pontiac.or to be correct the post really talks about how the city doesn't have what it calls a true gang problem.

hey Adobe lower your prices

2008-11-15T19:41:00.002-05:00

I was thinking about buying Adobe CS4 design program but man at $1,300 the programs in that package cost way to much money for me.even if I just but the programs I want/need I will still end up paying about that much money.maybe adobe should think about lowering it's prices for poor artist. at the very least have a short of rent to own choices. so artist can pay a little at a time. though my

OMG it just hit me...Obama won

2008-11-07T20:52:00.002-05:00

I know, I know delayed reaction and all.but the truth is is watching Obama win Tuesday I was mixed with emotions. on one hand i was glad that he won. Not only because he is, will be the first Black president but because he is the first person I voted for and won the presidency and will be going to the white house.that last bit is the important part because, the emotion I had was that I was a

2008-11-01T13:23:00.000-04:00

I stole the ideal from Michael Dietsch's blog to do a blog post talking about all the people and issues that are on my state's ballet this year.I did my best to search for site that had information on the people running. (with some exceptions like office where everyone running is a shoe into win giving that they are running in areas where every running will get a seat)PresidentialBarack Obama/Joe

Why do marketers feel they most make every thing fun?

2008-10-07T19:04:00.003-04:00

I was just listen to an ad on the radio for a computer repair place.In the ad they had people saying how much they like the service. One of the people, an older sounding guy said that he watch them fix and was having a ball doing so.now I have to ask how boning is this guys life (or how boring do the advertisers think our lives are) to think that watching your computer get fixed is fun.and this

McCain is using his age well during the debates

2008-09-26T22:32:00.002-04:00

watching the debates right now and I can't help but notice that even thought people thought that maybe because of the age differences between Obama and McCain, Obama would have an advantage because he is younger and healthier looking (like what happened in the JFK vs Nixon debates)but I have to hand McCain at least a point for trying play up his age by basically saying Obama doesn't understand

Obama needs change and a few dollar bills as well!!!

2008-09-09T12:24:00.001-04:00

I have decide to take a active inactive role in helping Obama became the next President of the united states of America by being one of his fundraise.I set a small goal of $200. this is the first time I have done anything like this so I wanted to set a small bar. If I meet it I'll do it again and set the bar higher.

This Saturday the Democratic party is holding it’s committee meeting to try and figure out what to do with the Florida and Michigan delegates. I’m from Michigan and I know more about this state’s situation much more then I know about Florida’s so I’m just going to focus on the big mitten. It seems that right now the Florida delegates are ok with the plan to only have half their votes count, where
