The contest wrapped up last week and as always it was a doozy. Do people even say that anymore? Course do people really grow beards shaped to look like a bridge? Well the answer appears to be yes. Check out the action >>here<<
Proud to say that the USA has become a beard growing super power according to the final reports. Lets hear it for our furry faced friends.

The Soloist

April 27th, 2009

Went and saw this Saturday night. Short review…good movie.  A little longer review….I think people should see it. The movie does a decent job of portraying the homeless situation as it really is. After working with homeless in a few cities it was amazing to me to find out 2 things…#1 that a large percentage of homeless have similar mental illness conditions and that  #2 a lot of people asking for money on the street are not homeless but panhandlers.

…anyway…just 2 cents here GIV time and money to your local charities that feed and clothe the homeless…they actually help and know how to do it better than you do(usually). Check out this map to see how many homeless folk there are in your state that you could be helping.>>http://www.endhomelessness.org<<
We can make a difference in this world…one person at a time.
BELIEVE!

The Hero Factory

March 11th, 2009

I grew up creating comic characters and drawing out their costumes and everything, so I was so excited when I found out about this new site.

So fun to make your own hero. You can do alot of customization from facial features to costume colors, and even your powers/guns. So fun! check it out >>here<<.

I must say that the best part of the site though is the background music. While sweating over the details of your hero self you will be rocking out to  Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out For a Hero! Can I just admit to the world that I love that song. I need a hero!
