People in other countries who are used to having socialized health care simply refuse to come to America without travel health insurance. I was watching the movie Sicko where some of Michael Moore’s Canadian friends were purchasing health insurance just to go to the United States for a day. I wish we had free health care like most first world countries around the world.
These are tough economic times. That doesn’t mean you should go without some of life’s necessities when it comes to electronics. Rent to own places are becoming more and more prevalent and their deals are less likely to leave you feeling ripped off. I remember the day when the only way to get your hands on a computer system was via computer rental. Well, those days have returned and now for a monthly fee you can actually rent a computer. This saves people the hassle of constant updating and worrying about obsolete technology.
I have this cousin in West Virginia who I have already predicted the cause of death for. His name is Patrick. He smokes about two packs of Marlboros a day, at least. Sometimes more. He also lives in the Appalachians, breeding grounds for radioactive material. Those hills are full of deadly radon. Plus, he works at a place where theres a class action lawsuit going on about mesothelioma. Therefore, I think his cause of death will be lung cancer in the third degree.
Nowadays, they have started putting informational chips inside our pets in case they get lost. Why shouldn’t humans have the same benefit, except with important medical information? Imagine getting into an accident in a foreign place, and you lose consciousness. You won’t be able to tell the doctors what you are allerguc to or your medical history. This is why having a complete medical id with all your information is becoming so important. It can save your life.
When living in Florida, you realize how much people want to value the good times outside. Everywhere else in the county, people are huddled up around the couch watching the Super Bowl. In Florida, even in February, it is still prime outdoor weather. Grills are going and porches are filled with clamoring people, especially after that upset yesterday. I tried to move my party outside, but all it ended up doing was highlighting my need for new patio furniture.
It’s not uncommon for guys to have a room of their own in the house. If you have watched TV recently, home improvement stores are appealing to men by offering official “team color” packages of paint to deck their rooms out in official colors of college and professional sports teams. This is usually where the high def TV will eventually end up, as well. There are also other poster options entering the male lexicon, such as these life size “Fatheads” and original movie posters to make guys feel at home in their version of a personal room.
Has anyone else ever seen the Adult Swim cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force? The first few seasons featured fresh comedy that was strangely intelligent for a show about a Happy Meal. Ever since then, though, the quality has gone downhill. The movie was horrendous and later seasons on TV have been unwatchable. However, the fist couple of seasons are well worth the money. Check out MC Pee Pants and his attempt to hawk diet pills via oyramid scheme using a rap album. That episode and a few others from that disc are classics.
Here is another gem from YouTube. Actually, it has it’s origins on TV, but it’s easier to digest in this YouTube format, sans commercials. This is a video of the “Top Sports Blowups” 20-10. They aren’t in the top ten, but they are still hilarious. The best part about this video is the authentic anger of the players and coaches. I bet they now look at this list and shake their heads at their heat-of-the-moment behavior.
I have always wanted to see one of those terrible acts from the 80s at the Meadowlands. As a kid, I saw Foreigner there, and ever since I have wanted to see other old time bands. I have always had a soft spot for the song “Jump” because of the crazy keyboard solo to begin it. It was this desire to relive my youth that lead me on a search for Van Halen tickets. I got lucky and got into the front row!
