Floppy Discs no longer exist

Why do most computer programs still have the floppy disc icon as the save button? When was the last time anyone actually used a floppy disc? Just sayin.

Ignorance is Bliss

I have not written on here in quite some time and truthfully it’s because I haven’t really been inspired to write about anything. Well now I’m finally inspired to write about something and that something is the ignorance of people in general. Our planet is basically dying from a virus that is called humans. Everyone keeps saying that we’re in serious trouble if we don’t make some drastic changes right now, yet we all realize it but we just don’t care. It’s like we need a wake-up call. After WW2, FDR told Detroit that they would not stop working but they would just start building cars rather than tanks. And guess what, they did exactly that. Then that city boomed for years after and the entire US economy boomed as a result. Right now lots of people are stepping up and saying we need to do something NOW and radically change the way we are going about our ways, but nobody will act. Scientists, Geologists, Politicians, etc. The only difference is that nobody cares because they don’t want to change. I watched a movie recently where there was a SIMULATED Global Summit of 2015 and the results were just sad. These were all important people representing their countries that could very well be the representatives present when 2015 rolls around. The Summit ended with China and the United States arguing about an Energy usage Policy and neither side would agree to terms. In a simulation…. how sad is that? It was like watching little children argue over a toy. We are reaching a point of no return and if we don’t take things like Global Warming seriously, which some politicians still claim is not being caused by humans by the way, we are going to seriously screw ourselves. In the future if there is some super human race or if aliens come visit they may look back at us and think they we were just really stupid to think we could survive forever like this. Governments are going to have to change, people are going to have to change. The levees for Hurricane Katrina were only built to withstand a Category 3 Hurricane and look what happened when a Category 5 came. They rebuilt those levees to withstand a Category 5 right? I mean right? No, no they rebuilt them exactly the same to withstand a Category 3. We keep planning and preparing for disasters that are normal but since when is a freaking disaster normal!? Never! That’s why they’re called disasters lol! I could seriously sit here and take a break and laugh at how stupid some people are…. okay enough laughing. So how about we stop drilling and burning fuel and start inventing new ideas and investing in them?! Insulate your home, drive a smaller car, plant a freaking garden or something. Aah!

I’m transitioning here without a transition sentence because this is not an English paper, it’s MY freaking blog so I don’t care.

I had fully intended on ranting about Solar Flares but because the most up to date book at Jacksonville’s Public Library was written in 1961, I will have to keep that part of my blog a little short. Please keep in mind that Chemistry was not my best subject here. Basically the Sun is made up of Hydrogen, Helium, and Heat. It is constantly in a cycle where Helium combines with heat, which creates more Hydrogen. Then Hydrogen crashes into other particles of Hydrogen which creates a reaction and when it happens enough times in a limited space, this reaction causes a Solar Flare. Now the Sun runs on an 11 year cycle, year one being the less reactive and 11 being the most reactive, and we are currently on the tenth year of this cycle. So lots of scientists are predicting a very large Solar Flare sometime next year. If that happened it would be enough energy to knock out our entire power grid. Everything runs off of electricity these days so that means no power, no clean water, no sanitary sewer, no computers, etc. And please keep in mind that everything runs off computers which would make that a really big deal. The grid would not be off for a few days, it would be off for months or maybe even years. Maybe we should practice Morse code. The most powerful Solar Flare to ever hit Earth was sometime in the 1860’s and was powerful enough to shock Morse code operators but other than that it did not do much damage because everything wasn’t run off electricity. If that exact one hit today though, that would not be good. Because the Earth has been getting so much hotter over the last ten years and at such a rapid pace, that is why Scientists are starting to say that next year could be bad. But we’re taking steps to prepare right? Oh wait that’s not until like next year or something so… let’s like not worry about it yet. If we ever find some super race that generates their own electricity, has wind turbines on every corner, gardens growing up the side of buildings, cleaning their own water, planting trees everywhere and maintaining green grass,… well I’d be embarrassed to call myself human.

Kill That Ref! Please! Someone!

Seriously, this ranks up there with that really stupid Cubs fan in my mind. In NHL Hockey, Referees are instructed to blow the whistle if the puck is covered up by a goalie to stop play. Normally they wait a second or two just to be sure before actually blowing the whistle, but not this guy. There was only less than two minutes left in the game and the Wings were only trying to score to put the game into Overtime so I guess it wasn't really a big deal right? No! The puck was clearly still loose and in play. Even the announcers say so. Somebody hit this Ref in the face please. Fast forward this video to 3:30 in and watch for yourself. What a Dick! Hey Ref seriously just go hang yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0URNLUgmfo

December 21, 2012

This topic continues to resurface. I feel I have to write about it. I have actually researched this topic because it intrigues me. Let's get one thing straight, the world is not going to end on December 21st 2012. Even the Mayans who are responible for the calendar that points at this date do not believe that. There is one theory that I like to believe in. Earth has an equator. So why can't galaxies have equators as well? If you are in the Northern Hemisphere and flush a toilet the water spins in the opposite direction as it would if you were in the Southern Hemisphere. Trust me, I've done it. So this theory that I like, and I'm not saying it's absolutely the right theory, is as simple as that. On December 21st 2012, I believe that Earth is going to pass through a galactic equator which would mean that Earth would begin to spin to in the opposite direction. This would not happen instantaneously. Just the thought of that is retarded. We have already proven that planets in our galaxy spin in the opposite direction than others do. If you believe in the big bang theory, this can not be unless there is something like a galactic equator that would force planets to do so. We know that Mars is slowing down and beginning to start spinning the opposite way. So if this is true, what would happen on this specific date? This theory would mean that the polar ice caps would reverse and parts of Earth that are not currently familiar with particular climates would be introduced to them. In history, certain things have happened to keep the Earth's population in check like the Black Plague for instance. Who's to say that this date is not the next thing that keeps Earth's population in check. We're currently at a little over 7 Billion right now and from what I studied in school, Earth cannot produce enough food to support more than 8 Billion. This date is not the end of the world, but it could be for a significant number of people. The best part is there is no way to prepare for it because nobody knows exactly what will happen. But what will happen?.. Maybe nothing. Maybe something.

There Should Be No Walks in Softball!

Last night in my Softball Game one of my team mates got slightly upset because I led off the game by popping out on a 3-1 pitch. “Dude, why’d you swing at that? You had a 3-1 count!”. I just looked at him and said, “I will never settle for a walk in Softball if I can help it”. Which may have been the wrong decision at the time. I did finish the game 3 for 4 and my last at bat, I swung at another 3-1 pitch and got an inside the park homer so I had to point that out to my team mate. Plus the Center Fielder took half a look at me and scooted up a bit. So I took one look at him and thought to myself, I think I’m going to hit the ball over that jackass’s head in Center Field. I think I was rounding 3rd when he finally grabbed the ball. But seriously, there should be no walks in Softball. The mere thought is just ridiculous. If you are walking up to the plate in a Softball Game even thinking about a walk for any reason then you should not play any sports what so ever. PS – The movie Pineapple Express is fucking hilarious.

Asteroids

Am I the only one that is now officially afraid of asteroids? You do realize that an asteroid just passed within 38,000 miles of Earth don't you. If that doesn't seem very close to you, consider this. The Universe could very possibly be INFINITE with INFINITE galaxies. If you want to know why we can't prove that the Universe is infinite then try counting to infinity. 38,000 miles is very close when you consider how large even just the Milky Way Galaxy is. Also consider that our satellites orbit Earth at about 25,000 miles or so. The best part about this blog hasn't even been said yet. The best part is that we found out that this asteroid existed 5 days before it would have impacted Earth. An asteroid that is 40 yards wide would have had the strength of hundreds of nuclear missiles and would have done very significant damage where ever it would have made impact. 5 Days. In Deep Impact, Morgan Freeman told Earth about that comet months in advance. In Armageddon, Bruce Willis and his team had a couple months to train for their mission. In real life, 5 days is enough time to get religious because I guess that's all we would have been able to do. Why did some scientist find it when it was so close to Earth you ask? That's because people on this planet don't really seem to give a shit about anything except money or something that will profit. The budget for finding these asteroids, meteors, comets, whatever the hell you wanna call them, is proposterous. There is probably more funding for executing murderers in humane ways instead of just shooting them. You would think that Earthlings would be more concerned about an event like this happening that would end life as we know it on Earth, but we really don't seem to care. We are a unique species.

HAHA!!

Jamie Lynn Spears has decided that it is best for her career that once her baby is born she give it to her mother. And her mother willingly accepted so that Jamie Lynn could "keep being a teen". I have two questions for you as well. 1) When she gets pregnant next year, are you going to react the same? 2) Hows that book coming? Seriously though just change the title to How to Raise Two Crazy Ass Hoes by Lynn Spears. That'll sell.
